2.0 Content of the contract

2.1 With www.seboom.com (platform), the provider offers the user information about beatboxing, which is provided in the form of videos and other media. Parts of this content are freely accessible to everyone, whereby the General Terms and Conditions also apply to this freely accessible content. The user must register to access certain content. By accessing the content or registering at www.seboom.com, the user accepts the validity of the General Terms and Conditions.

2.2 The provider is free to design the content and can change, restrict, expand or completely discontinue the platform and the associated services at any time. The provider is also entitled to have the service provided by third parties at the provider’s own discretion. The provider may also transfer the rights and obligations under this contract in full to third parties (transfer of contract).

2.3 The provider will eliminate disturbances and impairments which constitute a considerable impairment of the use of the service as quickly as possible and will endeavour to eliminate insignificant impairments within a reasonable period of time. The provider will endeavour to keep the service accessible at all times. However, the user has no claim to the platform being permanently available or otherwise available in a certain form or being free of disruptions. The provider assumes no liability whatsoever in this respect.

2.4 The platform is not directed at persons in countries that prohibit the presentation or the calling up of the contents contained therein. Each user is responsible for informing himself about any restrictions on the use of the platform before calling it up and for complying with these restrictions. In particular, users from such countries may not assert any claims against the provider. Users shall indemnify and hold the provider harmless for any claims of third parties arising from the retrieval of the contents of the platform.

2.5 Seboom creates the information and data that are published on the platform with great care. However, the provider assumes no responsibility – neither explicitly nor implicitly – for the accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness and usefulness for the user of the retrieved contributions.


3.0 Chargeable contents, ordering process

3.1 Nutzer können sich kostenpflichtig zu unterschiedlichen Arten der Mitgliedschaft bei der Plattform (jeweils, ein Produkt) anzumelden. Users can register for different types of membership on the platform (one product at a time) for a fee. By logging in (also: registering), the user becomes a member of the platform and gains access to paid services.

3.2 As a member, the user receives content primarily in the form of video streamings and downloads.

3.3 If a user wants to purchase a product, he clicks on the button provided in the order process and is forwarded to the payment service provider. The contract is concluded with the sending of a confirmation email by the provider.

After the payment has been processed, the member will receive an e-mail with the usage data. This usage data is confidential and may not be passed on to third parties.

The contents are provided in online form. The provision begins on the day the contract is concluded.

3.4 The provider announces the current conditions for memberships on the platform and reserves the right to change these conditions at any time. 

The indicated prices include the Austrian sales tax, if the member is resident in an EU member state. If the location or habitual residence of the member is not in the EU, the provider reserves the right to separately charge the sales tax in addition to the indicated prices to this member.

3.5 If a direct debit fails (e.g. because the member’s account did not have sufficient funds), the payment service provider may levy return debit charges. The provider will pass on these return debit charges to the user. If the payment is not made in due time, reminder fees will also be charged.

3.6 All mentioned rights and obligations for users apply accordingly also to members.


4.0 Duration, termination

4.1 In the case of annual contracts, the membership is automatically extended by 12 months unless one party terminates the contract at least 1 day before the end of the contract. For monthly contracts, the membership is automatically extended by one month unless one party terminates the contract 1 day before the end of the month. The termination can be made on the platform under the menu item “My profile” under the item “Subscription” or can be made in writing. In the case of written notice of termination, however, an e-mail must be sent to office@seboom.com at least 5 days before the end of the contract.

4.2 The right of the parties to terminate the contractual relationship by extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected. A good cause shall be deemed to exist if one of the parties breaches essential contractual obligations, for the provider in particular if 

4.2.1the user substantially breaches his obligations;

4.2.2 it is not possible to charge the member’s credit card or account or the user defaults on his payments for other reasons; or

4.2.3 the user provides false, inaccurate or incomplete information about his person, or the provider has reason to believe that such false or incomplete information has been provided, and the user does not provide the correct information even after an appropriate deadline has been set by the provider.

4.4 If the member is in default with at least 2 monthly fees, the provider is entitled to terminate the contract immediately and to make all payments still to be made due. If a direct debit cannot be executed within these two months, the provider will make at least two further attempts to collect the fee. The member shall bear the bank charges for the return debit, the renewed attempts to debit and the expenses of the provider.


5.0 Access data / browser support

5.1 To gain access to certain contents and offers, the user must register by entering the requested data in the corresponding online form. Afterwards, the user must define and enter a user name (e-mail address) and a password. The user can choose his own user name and password. The authorization is not transferable and applies only to the user personally. The user himself is responsible for keeping the user name and password secret. If the member passes on the user data in any form, this represents a serious breach of contract, which entitles the provider to immediately dissolve the contract. In this case the provider will not refund any fees already paid by the member.

5.2 In order to achieve ease of use and the highest possible level of data security, only the three most recent program versions of the most common Internet browsers are supported for the use of the content. Users with older browser versions are recommended – also in the interest of their own data security – to update to a more recent browser version.

6.2 The provider reserves the right to investigate any suspicion of misuse or significant breaches of contract by the user, to take appropriate measures and, in the event of justified suspicion, to block the member’s access to the content – at least until the suspicion has been cleared by the member – and/or to terminate the contractual relationship in the event of significant breaches.
