All fan purchases are processed through Stripe. Sale proceeds are routed directly to your connected Stripe account. HEARD is not responsible for any delays, holds, or disputes initiated by Stripe or financial institutions.
HEARD is a self-serve platform at every membership tier. The moment your payment is processed, you receive login credentials and full access to build your page and upload your own content.
As a courtesy, HEARD may assist with your initial content upload. This assistance is offered at HEARD's sole discretion, is not a guaranteed feature of your membership, and may be modified, limited, or discontinued at any time without affecting your access to the self-serve platform.
You agree not to upload, sell, monetize, or engage in conduct (including during a Live or Backstage session) that:
- Is illegal under applicable law
- Contains child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or exploits minors in any way
- Contains nudity or sexually explicit acts, or otherwise constitutes adult content or adult services
- Promotes violence, terrorism, or hatred against any individual or group
- Constitutes harassment, threats, or targeted abuse of any person
- Infringes on the copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property of third parties, including any uncleared samples, interpolations, or leaked/unauthorized material
Outside of these limited restrictions, HEARD does not editorialize, curate, or control your creative content.
These same standards apply in full to your conduct and behavior during any Live or Backstage session, in addition to any content you upload. Because live sessions happen in real time and cannot be reviewed in advance, HEARD or its systems may immediately end a live session, disconnect a guest, or suspend your ability to go live if a violation occurs, without waiting for the enforcement steps below.
If you believe content on HEARD infringes your copyright or otherwise violates these standards, you can submit a report at heard.global/report. Reports are reviewed by HEARD directly, and we will investigate and take appropriate action, which may include removing the content and/or applying the enforcement steps below.
If HEARD determines your content violates these standards, we follow a three-step process:
- Warning (Strike 1): HEARD notifies you, removes or disables access to the affected content, and issues a warning. You remain solely responsible for accounting for any revenue earned from that content prior to removal and for resolving any claims with the applicable rights holder.
- Strike 2: A second violation results in a second warning and may include a temporary suspension of your ability to upload new content or go live.
- Strike 3 — Removal: A third violation results in permanent removal from the platform.
All transactions between you and your fans are direct commercial transactions between you and the fan. HEARD facilitates the transaction through its technology and payment processing infrastructure but is not a party to the sale.
You are responsible for any applicable taxes on your sales. HEARD does not provide tax advice and is not responsible for your tax obligations.
You may cancel your HEARD subscription at any time. Upon cancellation, your artist page will be deactivated and your content will no longer be publicly accessible through HEARD. You may request deletion of your content and data at any time by contacting us at Mrbeheard@wampromotions.com.
HEARD may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these Terms and fail to cure the breach within 30 days of written notice, or immediately if the breach involves illegal content or fraud.
HEARD provides the platform "as is" and makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding uptime, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose. HEARD will make reasonable efforts to maintain platform availability but does not guarantee uninterrupted access.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, HEARD's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the platform shall not exceed the total amount you paid to HEARD in subscription fees in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
HEARD is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits or lost revenue.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflict of law principles.
