Terms of Service

§1 Scope, Contractual Partner

These Terms of Service apply to all contracts for the use of the software “Vantom Producer Suite”. The provider and contractual partner for the software licence is Milan Hahn; address see Imprint.

The commercial handling of the paid plans (invoicing, payment, VAT in 50+ countries) is carried out by Lemon Squeezy LLC (USA) as Merchant of Record. To that extent, a contract with Lemon Squeezy is concluded upon purchase.

§2 Description of Services

Vantom is a desktop application that runs alongside a DAW. We offer two plans:

• Free — free and permanent, with the scope of functions stated in the plan overview.
• Pro — paid subscription, with an extended scope of functions per the plan matrix.

The specific scope of services follows from the plan matrix valid at the time of conclusion of the contract at vantom.pro. There is no entitlement to individual features that are not included in the selected plan tier.

§3 Conclusion of Contract

The contract for paid services is concluded by completing the order process at Lemon Squeezy. You will receive a confirmation of the conclusion of the contract by email.

§4 Prices and Payment

The prices stated on the website at the time of conclusion of the contract apply. Billing is carried out by Lemon Squeezy in the currency selected. Any applicable sales or value-added taxes are shown and remitted by Lemon Squeezy.

§5 Term, Termination, Plan Changes

Pro subscriptions can be concluded monthly or annually and renew automatically for the selected term unless terminated by the respective end of the term. Termination is carried out via the Lemon Squeezy customer portal or by email to info@vantom.pro. A plan change (upgrade/downgrade) is possible at any time; Lemon Squeezy handles the pro-rata settlement.

§5a Free Trial (Pro Monthly)

For the Pro monthly plan we offer a 14-day free trial. To activate the trial, a valid payment method must be provided; this is captured during the order process at Lemon Squeezy. No payment is due during the trial.

If no cancellation occurs during the 14-day trial, the subscription automatically converts to the paid Pro monthly plan; the first charge takes place on day 15 after the start of the trial. Cancellation during the trial is possible at any time via the Lemon Squeezy customer portal or by email to info@vantom.pro.

If you cancel during the trial, no charge is made. In that case your access switches to the permanently free Free plan. There is no blocking of access; the Free plan remains fully usable.

The free trial is granted exclusively for the Pro monthly subscription. The Pro annual plan is concluded as a direct purchase without a trial.

§6 Right of Withdrawal

Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal. Details and the model withdrawal form can be found in our Cancellation Policy.

Important for digital content: The right of withdrawal expires prematurely if you have expressly consented to the immediate performance of the contract and at the same time confirmed that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. This confirmation is given explicitly in the Lemon Squeezy checkout process.

For a Pro monthly subscription concluded within a free trial (§5a), the 14-day trial begins upon activation of the subscription. No payment is due during the trial; the first charge takes place on day 15. The statutory withdrawal period and the trial exist in parallel. The above statement on the premature expiry of the right of withdrawal for digital content applies accordingly, provided the requirements of § 356(5) BGB are met in the checkout process.

§7 User Obligations

You undertake not to decompile, reverse-engineer, resell, rent out or make the software available to third parties for use, except where permitted by law. Use for unlawful purposes is prohibited.

§8 Availability

Vantom is primarily local desktop software and does not require a permanent internet connection for its core functions. Cloud-based functions (login, sync, licence check) are provided with reasonable availability. One hundred percent availability is not guaranteed. Plannable maintenance work is announced in advance where possible.

§9 Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence as well as under the provisions of the Product Liability Act. In the case of slight negligence, we are liable only for the breach of material contractual obligations and limited in amount to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract. We are liable for data loss only to the extent that would have arisen with proper and regular data backup on your part.

§10 Intellectual Property

The software, including all its components, remains the intellectual property of the provider or of the respective open-source licensors. You receive a simple, non-transferable right of use to the extent of your chosen plan.

Content that you create or store in the app (notes, project metadata, your own audio files) remains entirely your property. We receive only the licence technically required to provide the software.

§11 Data Protection

Our Privacy Policy applies.

§12 Changes to these Terms

Changes to these Terms will be announced to you by email at least six weeks before they take effect. If you do not object within this period, the changes are deemed accepted. In the event of an objection, both parties are entitled to terminate the contract at the time the changes are scheduled to take effect.

§13 Final Provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has their habitual residence is not withdrawn. Should individual provisions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
