All content on our platform, including music, artwork, designs, logos, and written content, is owned by Swendl or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Music Rights: Our original music is protected by copyright. Personal listening and enjoyment are permitted, but commercial use, public performance, or distribution requires explicit written permission. Streaming through authorized platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) is permitted under their respective terms.

Trademark Protection: "Swendl" and associated logos are our trademarks. Unauthorized use in connection with goods or services is prohibited.

DMCA Compliance: We respect intellectual property rights and respond to valid DMCA takedown notices. If you believe your copyrighted work has been used without permission, contact us at[email protected] with detailed information about the alleged infringement.

All purchases are subject to acceptance by us. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders for any reason, including product unavailability, pricing errors, or suspected fraudulent activity.

Pricing & Payment: All prices are in USD unless otherwise specified. Prices include applicable taxes where required by law. International customers may be subject to additional duties, taxes, or fees imposed by their country. Payment is processed securely through Stripe, and we do not store your credit card information.

Order Processing: Digital products are delivered immediately upon payment confirmation. Physical products are processed within 2-5 business days and then shipped via our Printify partnership. You will receive order confirmations and tracking information via email.

Product Availability: Physical products are printed on-demand, so availability may vary. Digital products are generally available immediately unless otherwise noted. We will notify you if any items become unavailable after purchase.

Physical products are fulfilled through our partnership with Printify and shipped globally using reliable carriers including USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL.

Shipping Timeframes: Processing takes 2-5 business days, followed by shipping time which varies by destination: Domestic US (3-7 business days), Canada (7-14 business days), Europe (7-14 business days), and International (10-21 business days). Expedited shipping options may be available at checkout.

Shipping Costs: Calculated at checkout based on destination, package size, weight, and selected delivery speed. Free shipping promotions may apply to orders over specified amounts.

International Shipping: Available to most countries worldwide. Customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or import fees imposed by their country. We cannot control or predict these additional costs.

Delivery Issues: We are not responsible for packages lost, stolen, or damaged during shipping. However, we will work with carriers to resolve delivery issues and may offer replacements on a case-by-case basis. Please ensure your shipping address is accurate, as we cannot redirect packages once shipped.

Undeliverable Packages: Packages returned due to incorrect addresses, refused delivery, or failure to pay customs fees may be subject to reshipping charges or order cancellation without refund.

Due to the custom, print-on-demand nature of our physical products, we generally do not accept returns for change of mind, incorrect size selection, or color preferences. However, we stand behind the quality of our products.

Eligible Returns: We will accept returns and provide refunds or replacements for:

• Defective Products: Items with printing defects, material flaws, or manufacturing errors
• Incorrect Orders: When we ship the wrong product, size, or design
• Damaged in Transit: Products damaged during shipping with photographic evidence
• Significantly Delayed Orders: Products not shipped within 14 business days of order placement

Return Process: Contact us within 14 days of delivery with photos of the issue. We will provide a prepaid return label for eligible returns. Refunds are processed within 5-10 business days after we receive and inspect the returned item.

Digital Product Refunds: Digital music downloads and content are generally non-refundable due to their immediate delivery and nature. Exceptions may be made for technical issues preventing download or access.

Refund Method: Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for purchase. Processing time depends on your bank or credit card company, typically 3-5 business days.

Our services integrate with trusted third-party providers to deliver the best experience. Your use of these services is also governed by their respective terms and policies.

Printify Partnership: Physical product fulfillment is handled by Printify. Their terms of service and quality standards apply to all printed products. Production delays or quality issues beyond our control may occur.

Stripe Payment Processing: All payments are processed through Stripe's secure platform. Stripe's terms of service govern payment processing, disputes, and refunds.

Music Distribution: Our music is distributed through various streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc.). Your interaction with our music on these platforms is subject to their individual terms of service.

We are not responsible for the availability, content, or actions of third-party services, but we carefully select partners who meet our standards for quality and reliability.

When you purchase or stream our music, you receive specific usage rights. These rights vary depending on how you access the content.

Personal Use License: Streaming and purchased downloads are licensed for personal, non-commercial use only. This includes listening for enjoyment, personal playlists, and private sharing with friends.

Commercial Use Restrictions: Our music cannot be used in commercial projects, advertisements, films, podcasts, or public performances without a separate licensing agreement. This includes background music for businesses, content creation, or social media with commercial intent.

Remix & Derivative Works: Creating remixes, mashups, or derivative works requires explicit permission. Unauthorized sampling or incorporation of our music into other works is prohibited.

Commercial Licensing Available: For commercial use, sync licensing, or custom music production, contact us at [email protected] to discuss terms and pricing.

DJ bookings and live performances are subject to separate agreements, but these general terms apply to all performance-related interactions and bookings made through our platform.

Booking Terms: All performance bookings require a signed agreement and deposit. Specific terms including cancellation policies, technical requirements, and payment schedules will be outlined in individual performance contracts.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations by the client less than 30 days before the event may result in forfeiture of deposit. Cancellations by Swendl due to illness or emergency will result in full refund or rescheduling options.

Our services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We make no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of our content or services.

Service Availability: We do not guarantee that our services will be available 24/7 without interruption. Maintenance, updates, or technical issues may cause temporary unavailability.

Product Quality: While we strive for high-quality products, variations in printing, colors, and materials may occur due to the print-on-demand nature of our merchandise. We work with Printify to maintain quality standards but cannot guarantee perfect uniformity.

Third-Party Content: We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of third-party websites, platforms, or services linked from our site.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Swendl shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or other intangible losses.

Maximum Liability: Our total liability for any claims related to our services shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

Excluded Damages: We are not liable for damages caused by your use or inability to use our services, unauthorized access to your data, third-party actions, or events beyond our reasonable control.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where Swendl is located, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Resolution Process: Before pursuing formal legal action, we encourage you to contact us directly to resolve any disputes. Many issues can be resolved quickly through direct communication.

Jurisdiction: Any legal disputes that cannot be resolved directly will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in our local jurisdiction.

Time Limitation: Any claims must be brought within one year of the cause of action arising, or such claim will be permanently barred.

We may terminate or suspend your access to our services at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, for any reason including breach of these terms.
