1. Scope

These Terms explain general conditions relating to Seahorse Management's website and proposed services. A signed individual agreement defines the specific services, commissions, expenses and obligations of each client relationship.

2. Eligibility

Clients must be at least 18 years old, possess legal capacity to contract and comply with applicable laws and platform requirements.

3. Services

Services may include marketing, audience development, account management, subscriber engagement, commercial optimization, consulting and production coordination. Only services expressly agreed are included.

4. Fees and Commissions

Commission rates, calculation bases, payment periods, tax treatment and individual service prices are defined in the signed agreement. Website pricing alone does not authorize additional charges.

5. Advertising Expenditure

Advertising costs and responsibilities must be approved in advance and documented in writing. No expenditure may be incurred on a client's behalf without the necessary authorization.

6. Account Ownership

Clients retain ownership and control of their accounts and payment arrangements. Agency access is limited to authorized services and permissions compatible with platform rules.

7. Content and Intellectual Property

Clients retain the rights they hold in their original content. Any license granted to the Agency is limited to the agreed purposes, duration and scope.

Agency-financed productions, third-party rights and special licensing arrangements require separate written terms where applicable.

8. Content Protection and Piracy

The Client expressly acknowledges that publication on digital platforms involves risks of unauthorized copying, downloading, recording, distribution, disclosure and piracy by third parties.

Seahorse Management does not guarantee complete protection against these risks. Continuous content monitoring, infringement enforcement and takedown services are not included unless expressly agreed.

The Client is informed of these limitations before entering into a service agreement and retains control over authorized publication decisions.

This clause does not exclude the Agency's liability for its own acts, omissions, confidentiality breaches, security failures, contractual violations or other responsibilities that cannot legally be excluded.

9. Confidentiality and Data Protection

Both parties must respect applicable confidentiality, privacy and personal data protection obligations. Detailed processing arrangements will be established where required.

10. Independent Relationship

The parties operate as independent contracting parties unless their legally established relationship requires another classification. No employment or partnership status is created merely by these Terms.

11. No Guarantee of Earnings

Marketing strategies involve commercial uncertainty. No minimum income, follower count or conversion rate is guaranteed unless separately and expressly agreed.

12. Termination

Termination, final accounting, access revocation, content permissions and handover obligations are governed by the individual agreement and applicable mandatory law, including Swiss mandate rules where relevant.

13. Liability

Each party is responsible for legally attributable breaches and damage under applicable law. No provision excludes liability for unlawful intent, gross negligence or other liability that cannot lawfully be restricted.

14. Governing Law

Swiss law applies insofar as permitted by mandatory rules and applicable jurisdictional protections. The individual signed agreement governs contractual dispute resolution.
