These Terms set out the agreement between you and us for using welegato, a music-lesson and performer-matching service made by Vicino Labs. This is a draft written ahead of launch and needs legal review before publication.

- "Member" means anyone who agrees to these Terms and signs up for the Service.

4. Effect and changes to these Terms
- These Terms take effect once posted in the app or by any other method we designate.
- We may amend these Terms within the limits of applicable law, and will give advance notice of the effective date and reason for any change.
- If you don't agree to amended Terms, you may stop using the Service and delete your account. Continuing to use the Service after amended Terms take effect means you accept them.
5. The service
The Service provides:
- Search/matching between demand-side users and experts
- Chat to broker inquiries and consultations
- Review and approval of expert applications
- (Planned) Secure payment and settlement
- Anything else we designate
The Service's content may change for operational or technical reasons; we give advance notice of material changes.
6. Signup and account management
- Signup is completed once you agree to these Terms, provide the required information, and we accept your application.
- You must keep the information you provided at signup current.
- You are responsible for managing your account credentials (email, password, etc.) and may not transfer or lend them to a third party.
7. Your obligations
You must not:
- Impersonate another person or misuse someone else's information
- Register false information
- Use information you learn through the Service for any purpose outside the Service
- Interfere with the Service's normal operation
- Otherwise violate applicable law
8. Rules for expert members
- A member who wants to act as an expert must submit the required proof of education/experience, and we review it to decide whether to approve.
- If submitted information turns out to be false, expert status may be revoked.
- Experts are directly responsible for the content and quality of the lessons/services they provide through the Service. We only broker the match between a demand-side user and an expert and are not a party to the actual lesson agreement.
- We may introduce features that limit ways of bypassing the platform (such as exchanging direct contact details in chat) to protect users and keep the Service running properly, and will announce any such feature here in advance.
9. Fees and payment (planned)
Signup, search, and chat are currently free. If we introduce paid features such as a transaction commission, we will announce pricing, payment methods, and refund policy separately and update these Terms.
10. Changes, suspension, and discontinuation of the Service
- We may change or discontinue all or part of the Service for operational or technical reasons.
- Except in urgent circumstances (security, legal compliance, etc.), we will give advance notice before suspending the Service.
11. Termination and restriction of use
- You may request to delete your account at any time via the app or by contacting us.
- If you violate these Terms, we may restrict your use or terminate your account after prior notice.
12. Intellectual property
All copyright and intellectual property rights in the Service's logo, trademarks (including the "welegato" name and emblem), design, copy, and source code belong to the Company. Members may not reproduce, distribute, transmit, publish, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from any of this without our prior written consent, nor allow a third party to do so.
13. Disclaimer of liability
- We are not directly liable for transactions or lessons that take place between members, except where we ourselves acted with intent or gross negligence in operating the Service.
- We are not liable for a failure to provide the Service due to force majeure, a cause attributable to a member, or an outage at a third-party service.
- To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for damages is limited to the amount you actually paid (zero for free use).
14. Governing law and venue
These Terms and any dispute between the Company and a member are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. This does not affect any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under the law of your country of habitual residence (for example, as an EU member state). Otherwise, disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts responsible for the Company's location (Dortmund, Germany). (Pending legal review, taking into account the operating entity and the user base's nationalities.)
