MYPIE TERMS OF SERVICE FOR FANS


1. AGREEMENT TO OUR TERMS

By accessing or using MyPie, Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," "our") services (the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service for Fans ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these Terms, please do not use the Services. We may update these Terms at any time; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. ELIGIBILITY & ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

2.1 Eligibility

Use of the Services is limited to individuals who are at least 18 years old or of legal age in your jurisdiction. If you move to a jurisdiction where the age of majority is higher, you must cease using the Services until you meet local requirements.

2.2 Account Registration

To use the Services, you must:

You agree to keep your credentials confidential and notify us immediately of any unauthorized access.

2.3 One Account per Fan

Each fan may maintain only one active account. Sharing or creating multiple accounts is prohibited to prevent fraud, ensure accurate contribution tracking, and maintain Pie integrity.

3. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

3.1 Pie Creation

Fans may create a "Pie": a customizable allocation of monthly contributions to support artists, bands, and labels based on streaming data.

3.2 Filters & Preferences

Apply settings such as top-artist weighting, minimum popularity thresholds, or artist exclusions.

3.3 Public Data Usage

MyPie may make aggregated listening data publicly available on artist profiles (e.g., total listens, chart rankings) and in broader features like Earth charts. All data is displayed only in aggregate form and does not identify individual listeners.

3.4 Contribution Management

Monthly contributions are charged automatically via Stripe and distributed per your Pie settings.

3.5 No Goods or Services

Contributions are voluntary and do not entitle you to any goods, services, or consideration; they serve solely to support artists.

3.6 Subscription Cancellation

You may cancel a recurring Pie at any time from your dashboard. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period, and no further charges will occur thereafter.

3.7 Limitation on Withdrawals

Fan wallet balances cannot be withdrawn directly to payment methods; unused funds are automatically applied to future Pies or managed per Section 7.

4. PAYMENTS & CONTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Monthly Billing

By creating a Pie, you authorize MyPie to charge your chosen payment method a fixed monthly amount.

4.2 Allocation

After collecting one full month of streaming data, we calculate each artist's share and distribute funds:

4.3 Best Efforts & Downstream Use

MyPie uses commercially reasonable efforts to transfer funds directly to artists based on verified listening data. However, once a distribution is made to an artist's account, the subsequent internal allocation or use of those funds is managed by the artist. MyPie cannot audit or guarantee how artists distribute or spend these amounts and disclaims any liability for actions taken thereafter.

4.4 No Eligible Artists

If no eligible artists remain at distribution:

4.5 Platform & Processing Fees

4.6 Data Collection Failures

4.7 Unclaimed Artist Funds

Allocated funds not claimed by an artist within 12 months return automatically to your fan wallet and are applied to your next Pie.

4.8 Fan Wallet Withdrawal

Fan wallet balances cannot be withdrawn directly to payment methods; unused funds are automatically applied to future Pies or managed per Section 7.

5. REFUNDS, RETURNS & CHARGEBACKS

5.1 No Refunds

MyPie does not offer refunds once contributions are processed, except as outlined in Section 5.3.

5.2 Returned Contributions

Contributions may be returned to you if:

Returned funds are processed back to your original payment method within 10 business days, and we will notify you via email.

5.3 Chargebacks

If a chargeback occurs through Stripe or your card network, MyPie may deduct the disputed amount and associated fees from future contributions or require resolution within 30 days.

5.4 Indemnification by Fans

You agree to indemnify and hold MyPie and its affiliates harmless from any claims or liabilities arising from your use of the Services, including fraudulent or unauthorized activity.
