Terms of Service - fuse.space

Welcome to fuse.space, a service provided by fuse.space GmbH, Hamburg. (herein also referred to as “fuse.space” or “we”, “our”, or “us”).

fuse.space is a workspace for creative people. It protects intellectual property directly in the creation/collaboration process. Every file shared through fuse.space is cryptographically recorded, stored as a fingerprint (hash) in the blockchain and thus each contribution and ownership can be tracked and proven at any time.

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of fuse.space and related apps provided on our website (together, the “Website”), our mobile and desktop apps (our “Apps”) and all related players, data, software, APIs (which may also be subject to separate API Terms of Service) and other apps provided by fuse.space (the “Services” or „Platform“)

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, and any other terms specifically referred to in any of those documents, constitute a legally binding agreement between you and fuse.space in relation to your use of the Website, the Apps and our Services.

Acceptance of our Terms

If you do not agree to any of the provisions set out in these Terms (incl. Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy), you may not use the Website, Apps or any of our Services. By accessing or using the Platform, registering an account, or by viewing, accessing, streaming, uploading or downloading any information or content from or to the Platform, you represent and warrant that you have read and understood the Terms, will abide by these Terms and are legally entitled to enter into these Terms.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to change, alter, replace or otherwise modify these Terms at any time; provided however, that we will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of any material changes (of which such notice may include any notice posted on the Platform). The date of last modification is stated at the end of these Terms. It is your responsibility to check this page from time to time for updates. By continuing to access or use any of the Website, Apps, and/or Services after these Terms have been revised, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.

Description of the Platform

The Platform is a hosting and messaging service. Registered users of the Platform may submit, upload and share text, photos, pictures, videos, files, links, comments, and other content, data or information, and may perform, stream, broadcast, and record musical pieces (“Content”), which will be broadcast, stored, displayed and/or played by fuse.space at the direction of such registered users, and may be shared and distributed by such registered users, and other users of the Platform, using the tools and features provided as part of the Platform and accessible via the Website, Apps and elsewhere. The Platform also enables registered users to interact with one another and to contribute to discussions, and enables any user of the Website, Apps or certain Services (who may or may not be registered users of the Platform) to view, listen to and share Content uploaded and otherwise made available by registered users.

A typical workflow would be: Creator 1 opens a workspace, uploads an audio file and shares it with Creator 2. Creator 2 receives an invitation and joins the Space after registration. Creator 2 listens to the file, downloads it and comments on it in the Space. Creator 2 then uploads media files to the space as well and Creator 1 gets notifications of these activities.

All files uploaded and/or shared are cryptographically stored as fingerprints (hash) in the blockchain (not the file itself, nor can the file be recovered/reverse-engineered from the fingerprint). fuse.space provides a certificate of ownership for each file secured. Within the fuse.space “Wallet” this transaction can be tracked, and the ownership can be verified.

We may, from time to time, release new tools and resources on the Website, release new versions of our Apps, or introduce other Services and/or features for the Platform. Any new Services and features will be subject to these Terms as well as any additional terms of service that we may release for those specific Services or features.

fuse.space owns or has rights to the Platform and Materials (as defined below) and all intellectual property therein, but you may use the Platform in accordance with these Terms (including as described in the license set forth in the “Your Use of the Platform” section below). You may not copy, distribute, transmit, publish, sell, transfer, or create derivative works of the Platform. If you print any paper or digital copies of pages of the Website, you may only do so for your internal use and you are prohibited from removing any copyright or other proprietary notices on such pages.

The contents of the Platform include: designs, text, graphics, images, video, information, logos, button icons, software, audio files, computer code, and other fuse.space content (collectively, “Materials”). All Materials and the compilation (meaning the collection, arrangement, and assembly) of all Materials are the property of fuse.space or its licensors and are protected under copyright, trademark, and other laws.

“fuse.space,” the fuse.space logo, and other fuse.space logos and product and service names are or may be trademarks of fuse.space (the “fuse.space Marks”).
