Disclaimer Of Warranties; Limitation of Liability
We cannot guarantee, represent, or warrant that your use of our service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. We also do not warrant that the results obtained from the service will be accurate or reliable.
You acknowledge and agree that we may, from time to time, remove the service for indefinite periods or cancel the service without notice to you.
You expressly agree that your use of the service, or your inability to use the service, is at your sole risk. The service and all products and services provided to you through the service are provided "as is" and "as available", without any representation, warranties, or conditions of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement, except as expressly stated by us.
In no event shall Vokler, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, interns, suppliers, service providers, or licensors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including without limitation lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, arising from your use of the service or any products procured using the service, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the service or any product, including but not limited to any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the service or any content (or product) posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. However, in states or jurisdictions where the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages is not allowed, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Indemnification
By using our service, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Vokler, our parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns, and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third-party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms of Service or the documents they incorporate by reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third-party.
Selling Vocals
Vokler makes vocal tracks or vocals, which are compositions and recordings, available on its Site through third-party vocalists. Vokler ensures that all vocalists confirm that their recordings and offerings do not infringe any third-party rights and that they have obtained the necessary permissions to make the vocal tracks available and grant ongoing rights to purchasers.
Vocalists acknowledge and agree that they own 100% of the vocal tracks they offer for sale or lease, and they have the appropriate licenses, copyrights, mechanical licenses, and all other permissions required to offer vocal tracks to others.
Seller Obligations
By uploading and selling vocal tracks and associated content, including name, description, and photograph (referred to as "vocal track content") on the Site, vocalists warrant and represent the following:
- You have the authority and permission to make the vocal track content available in the manner offered by you.
- The vocal track content does not infringe the rights of any third party, including sample owners, writers, artists, or musicians.
- The vocal track content does not contain or transmit any virus or other harmful matter.
- All files advertised as included with purchase are uploaded.
While Vokler provides a platform for vocalists to sell and grant licenses to vocals, all sales and licenses are between the seller and buyer. Vocalists agree that any claims arising from a sale, license, or purchase of a vocal will be brought solely against the buyer, and not against Vokler.
Vokler reserves the right to remove any of Your Content from the Website if it falls into any of the following categories: (i) patently offensive, pornographic, or defamatory; (ii) the subject of a dispute between you or us and a third party; (iii) content for which you cannot provide documentation of your rights upon Vokler request; (iv) content that violates the intellectual property rights or other protected interests of a third party; (v) the subject of a takedown notice by a party claiming to own the rights therein; or (vi) content that is the subject of any fraudulent activity or is deemed necessary by Vokler sole and absolute judgment to protect the business interests of Vokler or Licensees. Vokler shall have no liability to you for the removal of any of Your Content from the Website.
Vokler aims to provide the music community with high-quality vocals, and therefore reserves the right to remove content that is deemed to be of substantially poor quality.
We reserve the right to terminate, suspend, or remove any account or content that we believe breaches our terms and conditions, without liability to you. You shall indemnify us against any and all direct and indirect claims, losses, damages, costs, and liabilities arising out of any breach by you of these terms.
Buying Vocals
Your contractual relationship as a purchaser of vocal tracks is with the licensor or seller of the vocal tracks, not with Vokler.
When you purchase vocal tracks, you are bound by the license terms and limitations set forth by the respective vocalist. These terms will be presented to you prior to completing the purchase of a vocal track. If you do not agree to these license terms, you must not purchase the vocal track. Any use of the vocal track by a purchaser that goes beyond the vocalist's license terms may constitute a breach of contract and intellectual property rights, for which you will be held liable.
While Vokler provides a platform for you as a buyer to purchase or obtain licenses for vocals, all sales and licenses of vocals are between the seller and buyer. You agree that any claims arising from a sale, license, or purchase of a vocal will be brought solely against the seller, and not against Vokler.
Refunds
Vokler is not responsible for any refunds for licensing or sales purchases. Vocalists use Vokler to sell their vocals, but Vokler is not the seller or owner of the vocals on our platform. Therefore, if you require a refund, please contact the vocalist directly, as the money is paid directly to them, and only they have the authority to issue a refund.
Vokler does not guarantee satisfaction with any vocal tracks offered by vocalists, and refunds are solely at the discretion of the seller. In cases where a seller has breached their "Seller Obligations" (as stated above) specifically related to the vocal track purchased, Vokler will take steps to refund a payment to you as a purchaser if we are notified of the breach within 48 hours of purchase. However, please note that we cannot guarantee a refund, as ultimately the files and payments are with the seller.

These Linked Sites are not under the control of Vokler, and Vokler is not responsible for the contents of any Linked Site, including any link contained in a Linked Site or any changes or updates to a Linked Site.

Use of Communication Services
The Site provides messaging functionality and other communication facilities, collectively referred to as "Communication Services," that allow you to communicate with other users. You agree to use the Communication Services in a manner that is proper and related to the particular Communication Service.
For example, you agree not to defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten, or otherwise violate the legal rights of others when using a Communication Service. You also agree not to publish, post, upload, distribute, or disseminate any inappropriate, profane, defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent, or unlawful topic, name, material, or information.
While Vokler is not obligated to monitor the Communication Services, it reserves the right to review materials posted to a Communication Service and remove any materials at its sole discretion. Vokler may also terminate your access to any or all of the Communication Services at any time without notice for any reason.
Vokler also reserves the right to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post, or remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, at its sole discretion.
Please exercise caution when sharing personally identifying information about yourself or your children in any Communication Service. Vokler does not control or endorse the content, messages, or information found in any Communication Service, and therefore disclaims any liability with regard to the Communication Services and any actions resulting from your participation in them. Managers and hosts are not authorized Vokler spokespersons, and their views do not necessarily reflect those of Vokler.
