Terms of Use

Last updated: July 26, 2024

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. By accessing or using the FrequenSea platform, you agree to be bound by these terms and our Privacy Policy.

1. The FrequenSea Marketplace Model

FrequenSea is a technology platform that facilitates direct licensing between Creators and Buyers.

  • No Escrow: We use PayFast Split Payments to route funds instantly. FrequenSea does not hold or "keep" creator earnings.
  • 100% Share: Creators receive 100% of their list price. The platform is sustained by a processing fee paid by the buyer.
  • Withdrawal Fees: Creators are responsible for any bank withdrawal fees charged by PayFast (e.g., the R8.70 payout fee).
2. Zero-AI Content Policy

To maintain the integrity of our high-fidelity catalog, FrequenSea prohibits the distribution of AI-generated audio masters.

Creators warrant that all uploaded content is human-made and that they hold exclusive master rights. Violation of this policy will result in immediate account termination and permanent removal of the catalog without refund of any outstanding platform fees.

3. Licensing & Distribution

For Creators

By distributing content, you grant FrequenSea a worldwide right to stream previews and market your assets. You retain 100% of your copyright unless you engage in a "Full Ownership" buyout transaction.

For Buyers

Purchase of a license grants synchronization rights as specified in the "Certificate of Audio License." Licenses are non-exclusive unless explicitly marked as "Exclusive" or "Buyout." Reselling standalone audio files is strictly prohibited.

4. Liability & Indemnity

Creators indemnify FrequenSea against any claims of copyright infringement. FrequenSea acts as the legal intermediary and is not liable for misrepresentation of rights by any third-party user.

5. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and defined following the laws of South Africa.
