General Terms and Conditions (AGB)

These terms are a courtesy translation of the German original (“Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen”). German law governs the contract; the German version is authoritative.

These General Terms and Conditions (GTC, German: AGB) apply to all contracts concluded by consumers within the meaning of § 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB) with M&R Technologies UG (haftungsbeschränkt), An der Strusbek 12, 22926 Ahrensburg, Germany (hereinafter “Songmania”) covering the creation and purchase of personalised songs. If a business (§ 14 BGB) buys a song — for example as a company song for its team — the same purchase process applies; the consumer rights under these terms (in particular the right of withdrawal) only apply if the purchase is not attributable to the buyer’s commercial or self-employed professional activity.

Deviating terms of the buyer are not recognised unless Songmania expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

The contract is concluded exclusively in German or English through the electronic order process. The presentation of the offers on the website is not a legally binding offer but an invitation to start the creation process.

When the form is completed and submitted, the lyrics are created and, independently of any payment, automatically set to music in two different genres — both as watermark-protected preview streams. This is free of charge and non-binding; a contract for payment is only concluded upon purchase. A valid email address is required before the waiting screen. It may receive a completion notice when the visitor is absent and, in the event of a purchase, is the controlling address for the delivery email (§ 3 para. 1).

On the finished result page, the buyer listens to both preview versions and selects either exactly one version or the bundle of both (§ 3 para. 2). Payment is available through Stripe Checkout or PayPal. The purchase button opens Stripe Checkout; by pressing “Pay” there, the buyer makes a binding offer for the version(s) summarised in Checkout. After the mandatory checkbox under § 7, the PayPal button opens the PayPal window; by pressing “Pay Now” there, the buyer makes the binding offer. Neither payment can be completed without the mandatory checkbox for the consent under § 7. The contract is concluded once the payment provider confirms successful payment to Songmania. At that point the purchased version, or both purchased versions, is immediately unlocked without a watermark for playback and download. The same sequence applies to the subsequent purchase of the second version (§ 3 para. 3): its own purchase button, its own checkout, its own mandatory checkbox, its own conclusion of contract upon payment confirmation.

The form input can be corrected using the back controls before the creation form is submitted. Before “Pay”, Stripe Checkout or the PayPal window displays the song, selected genre(s), total price and payment details for review; until then, the buyer can cancel the process and change the selection.

These terms and the withdrawal notice can be accessed and printed at the addresses stated in § 10. After successful payment via Stripe, Stripe sends a receipt or invoice to the address captured in Checkout as confirmation of the contract in text form; after successful payment via PayPal, Songmania sends the contract confirmation as a purchase confirmation to the flow address. Separately, Songmania sends the delivery email with the link to the purchased version or both versions to the flow address.

Based on the buyer’s input (name of the celebrated person, occasion, personal details, singing language and genre), Songmania creates individual lyrics using an AI language model and immediately sets them to music in two different genres — independently of whether and what is purchased later. The required email address collected before waiting is used for a completion notice only when due because of absence and, after purchase, for the delivery email giving access to the song.

Before purchase, both finished versions are audible exclusively as watermark-protected preview streams; the lyrics are not shown beforehand as written text. The buyer acquires either one selected version for €9.99 or both versions together as a bundle for €14.99. Only the purchase unlocks the purchased version(s) without a watermark for playback and as an MP3 file for download and grants the usage rights under § 5.

After a single purchase, the version that was not bought remains available as a preview stream and can be added for €4.99 (subsequent purchase). This requires that the version is finished, that the single purchase has not been refunded and that no subsequent purchase already exists; there is no entitlement to the offer. The subsequent purchase is a separate contract and runs as a separate payment through the same payment routes (Stripe Checkout or PayPal), with the same consent under § 7. As soon as the payment provider confirms payment, this version too is immediately unlocked without a watermark for playback and download; the delivery email is sent again to the address referred to in para. 1.

With the “Both versions” bundle, the buyer receives two recordings of the same lyrics in different genres. Independently of purchase, the owner may activate and deactivate a random public share link. This share page offers audio streams only, not a file download or the full written lyrics; it is an optional feature and not part of the purchased item. It does not limit the usage rights under § 5: what the buyer may do with the purchased file follows from § 5 alone, regardless of what the share page displays.

Songs are individual, computer-generated one-offs. Sound, arrangement and design vary even with identical input; there is no entitlement to a specific musical outcome.

Lyrics and recording are produced entirely by AI systems; nothing is sung or played by humans. Songmania does not clone real voices and does not imitate real people — the singing voices are synthetic, and the selectable musical directions are genres, not recreations of particular performers.

Preview and purchase are available for 14 days from the creation of the song. After that the song page is closed: playback, purchase and the share link cease. A purchase keeps the page open permanently. Songs created before 12 September 2026 are not affected by this period.

The total price is €9.99 for one selected version and €14.99 for the bundle of both versions. The subsequent purchase of the second version after a single purchase (§ 3 para. 3) costs €4.99. These are gross prices and include the statutory VAT applicable at the place of supply; For payments via Stripe, Stripe Tax calculates the included tax portion and itemises it in Checkout and on the invoice; for payments via PayPal it is included in the total price and stated as included in Songmania’s purchase confirmation. There are no additional delivery or product fees.

Payment is processed through Stripe or through PayPal, at the buyer’s choice; the payment methods available in Stripe Checkout are shown there. Songmania remains the contracting party and merchant, while Stripe and PayPal are payment providers and not the seller of the song. Payment is successful once the respective payment provider confirms it to Songmania. Every purchase — the single purchase, the bundle and the subsequent purchase — is a separate payment with its own checkout, its own consent under § 7 and its own receipt or purchase confirmation.

Upon full payment, Songmania grants the buyer a simple (non-exclusive) right of use to the purchased song (lyrics and recording), unlimited in territory and time, for the buyer’s own purposes. The right expressly covers private and business use — the song may be played, shown, shared and passed on free of charge in your own environment, club, company and on your own channels, and in particular given as a gift. That is the purpose of the product.

Not granted are in particular: selling the song or copies of it, granting sub-licences, marketing the song as a standalone product (for example on streaming or download platforms) and any commercial use beyond use for your own purposes. Such use requires a separate agreement (email to moin@songmania.me).

The songs are computer-generated (AI). Copyright protection of the result in favour of the buyer or of Songmania cannot be assumed; the contractual right of use is granted regardless.

The buyer confirms that the input provided is accurate and that they are entitled to provide the details about the persons named in the forms, in particular the celebrated person. Entering details that infringe the rights of third parties (personality rights, copyright, other rights) or violate the law is prohibited.

The buyer undertakes not to use songs for defamation, harassment, threats or other unlawful purposes.

Consumers have a fourteen-day right of withdrawal pursuant to §§ 355, 312g BGB (German Civil Code). The withdrawal notice (Widerrufsbelehrung) including the model withdrawal form is available at https://songmania.me/en/widerruf.

Every purchase — the single purchase, the bundle and the subsequent purchase of the second version — concerns digital content not supplied on a physical medium and is a separate contract with its own right of withdrawal. Before each payment, the buyer must therefore use a mandatory checkbox — in Stripe Checkout, or for PayPal on the song page before the PayPal window opens — to expressly consent to Songmania beginning provision before the end of the withdrawal period and confirm their knowledge that the right of withdrawal expires once performance begins (§ 356 (6) BGB). No purchase is possible without this checkbox. Upon payment confirmation, the version purchased or both versions is immediately unlocked without a watermark; performance then begins and the right of withdrawal expires subject to the statutory requirements. For payments via Stripe, the receipt or invoice emailed by Stripe serves as confirmation of the contract in text form; for payments via PayPal, the purchase confirmation emailed by Songmania does. Both record the buyer’s consent and acknowledgement (§ 312f (3) BGB).

Until unlocking, an informal declaration to moin@songmania.me is enough to withdraw. Because the withdrawal period ends with the unlocking that follows payment confirmation automatically, Songmania does not provide a permanent electronic withdrawal function under § 356a BGB; the details are set out in the withdrawal notice at https://songmania.me/en/widerruf. If the right of withdrawal does not expire in an individual case, it remains unchanged.

The statutory rights regarding defective digital products apply without restriction (§§ 327 ff. BGB). For a single purchase, the subject of the contract is the previewed recording in the selected genre and singing language, playable without a watermark and downloadable as an MP3; for the bundle, this applies to both previewed versions, and for a subsequent purchase to the version added.

Before purchase, the lyrics are not viewable as text; both versions are audible beforehand only as watermarked preview streams. Musical design, arrangement, voice and expression are computer-generated and naturally vary; they do not constitute a defect (see § 3 para. 5).

In the event of a defect, the statutory conditions and remedies apply, including in particular cure (Nacherfüllung), price reduction or termination of the contract, and damages or reimbursement of expenses. Depending on the issue, cure may consist of correction, recreation or renewed provision of the purchased version.

These terms do not establish an additional voluntary money-back promise. Statutory claims remain unaffected, in particular where a purchased version cannot be provided, there is a defect, or in an individual case a right of withdrawal has not expired contrary to the general process described in § 7. A full refund disables online access to the version(s) without a watermark; files downloaded before the refund cannot technically be recalled.

Songmania is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and within the scope of guarantee liability.

In the event of a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment enables the proper performance of the contract in the first place and on whose compliance the buyer may rely), Songmania is only liable for the foreseeable damage typical of this type of contract. All other cases of slightly negligent breach of duty are excluded.

Liability for outages of third parties (payment provider, language model provider, music service, email service) leading to temporary unavailability is excluded insofar as Songmania is not responsible for the outage.

German law applies to these terms and the contractual relationship. This choice of law does not affect the mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which the buyer has their habitual residence (Art. 6 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008).

The place of jurisdiction is the buyer’s place of residence insofar as the action is brought against the buyer; Songmania may also take legal action against the buyer at the buyer’s place of residence.

Should a provision of these terms be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by the provision that comes closest to its economic purpose.

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board within the meaning of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG). Your statutory rights and access to the ordinary courts are unaffected by this.
