Terms of Service
Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the Sessions mobile application or website (collectively, the "Platform"), operated by Sessions ("we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Platform. By using Sessions, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. If you are using Sessions on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
2. Accounts
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your profile up to date. You may not create accounts for others without their consent, impersonate any person, or use a false identity.
3. The Platform
Sessions is a music industry networking platform that enables users to:
- Create professional profiles and connect with other music creators
- Book and manage recording, mixing, collaboration, feature, and studio sessions
- Buy and sell beats with tiered licensing (Basic, Premium, Exclusive)
- Send and receive payments through our escrow system
- Discover talent via search, filtering, and AI-based matching
- List and book recording studios
4. Payments & Escrow
Sessions uses an escrow model for session bookings. When a booking is made, the agreed payment is held by Sessions until the session is confirmed complete by both parties, at which point funds are released to the service provider's wallet.
Refunds: Refund eligibility is determined by the circumstances of the cancellation and the service provider's stated cancellation policy. Sessions reserves the right to mediate disputes and make final decisions on refunds.
Fees: Sessions may charge platform fees on transactions. Applicable fees will be disclosed at the time of booking. We reserve the right to modify our fee structure with reasonable notice.
Cryptocurrency Payments: Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible. You are solely responsible for providing correct wallet addresses. Sessions is not liable for losses resulting from incorrect addresses or network issues.
5. Beat Licensing
When purchasing a beat on Sessions, the following license tiers apply:
- Basic (MP3): Non-exclusive licence for personal and limited commercial use. The producer retains all rights.
- Premium (WAV): Non-exclusive licence for broader commercial use with higher distribution limits. The producer retains all rights.
- Exclusive: Full ownership transfer. The producer may no longer sell the beat after this transaction.
Licence terms are legally binding. Unauthorised use beyond the scope of your purchased licence is a violation of these Terms and applicable copyright law.
6. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws
- Upload, post, or transmit content that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others
- Harass, threaten, defame, or abuse other users

- Misrepresent your identity, credentials, or affiliation
- Upload malicious code, viruses, or any software designed to harm the Platform or its users

The Sessions brand, logo, design, and software are the exclusive property of Sessions. You may not use our trademarks or branding without prior written consent.
8. Verified Badge
The Sessions verified badge is awarded at our discretion to users who meet our verification criteria. Verification does not constitute an endorsement and may be revoked at any time if a user violates these Terms or our community guidelines.
9. Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent or harmful behaviour, or for any other reason at our sole discretion. You may also delete your account at any time through the app settings. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately.
10. Disclaimers
The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses. Sessions does not screen or endorse the conduct or content of its users and is not responsible for any disputes between users.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sessions shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the Platform.

13. Changes to These Terms
