Terms of Service

1. Who we are

GATEBREAKER.IO is a trading name of ELPAMU LTD, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 15824095, with its registered office at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. In these Terms “GATEBREAKER”, “we” and “us” mean ELPAMU LTD. Contact: hello@gatebreaker.io.

These Terms govern your use of gatebreaker.io and every service we provide through it (the “Service”). Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy explain how we handle personal data and form part of these Terms. By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms.

2. What the Service is

GATEBREAKER aggregates publicly posted open calls, contests, open-deck nights and similar opportunities for DJs (“Listings”), lets you build and share an electronic press kit (“EPK”), helps you fill in and send applications, and records the applications you tell us about.

Listings are collected from third-party public sources, mainly social-media posts. We check and classify them but we do not organise the events, we are not a party to any booking, and we cannot guarantee that a Listing is accurate, current, genuine, or that the organiser will respond. Always verify details with the organiser before travelling or paying anything.

3. Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old. To use the Service you must give a working email address, a DJ name, and the city and country where you are based, and keep them accurate. Applications, the AI-assisted tools and EPK sharing are available once these are in your profile. You are responsible for everything done through your account and for keeping access to your email secure, because sign-in is by email link or code.

One account per person. You may not use someone else's name, likeness or work, or present yourself as an artist you are not.

4. Your content and your EPK

You keep all rights in the bio, photos, mixes and mix links, gig history and other material you add (“Your Content”).

Your confirmation of rights. By uploading or linking Your Content you confirm that you are the owner of the copyright and all other rights in it, or that you hold the permission of every rights holder (including any co-producer, label, photographer or the owner of any recording or artwork) to use it in the way the Service does, and that it does not infringe anyone's rights. This applies to every mix, track, recording, photo, video, logo and text you place on GATEBREAKER. If you cannot confirm this for an item, do not upload it.

Licence to us. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, display, reproduce, adapt for display purposes and share Your Content as needed to run the Service, including in the AI-assisted application tools and, only if you switch on Get Discovered, to industry customers as described in the Privacy Policy. The licence ends when you remove the content or delete your account, except for copies held in backups for a short period and for aggregated statistics that no longer identify you.

Your public EPK. Your EPK page is public. By publishing it you consent to its content being visible to anyone, anywhere in the world, on the web and beyond it, including to people you did not send the link to, search engines, and anyone with whom your link is shared. Anything you put on it, including a booking email or fee range if you choose to add one, can be seen by everyone. You control this: you can edit or remove any item, or delete the page, at any time from your profile.

You confirm that gig history and credentials you list are true. We may remove content that breaks these Terms or the law.

5. AI-assisted applications

GATEBREAKER includes an AI-assisted application tool. It is an instrument that reads the data you have entered in your profile and maps it into the fields of an organiser's application form, email or message, and where a form asks for free text (for example “why this event”) it proposes wording based only on your own profile and the Listing. It does not change your facts and it does not invent credentials.

The tool never submits anything. You review the prepared fields and text, edit whatever you like, and you press the button that sends the application. You are the sender of every application and you are responsible for its content and accuracy. We are not responsible for how an organiser responds.

6. Plans, prices and payment

We offer a free plan and paid plans. Current prices are shown on gatebreaker.io and at checkout. Prices are in euro and are exclusive of VAT. The applicable VAT for your country is calculated and added on the payment page once you confirm your billing country, before you confirm the payment. Payment is processed by Stripe; we never see or store your card details.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual as chosen) at the then-current price, until cancelled. You can cancel at any time before the renewal date through the billing portal linked from your profile page; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period and you keep access until then. We do not give refunds for partial periods except where the law requires it or Section 7 applies.

Free months, promo codes and referral rewards are granted at our discretion, have the expiry shown when granted, cannot be exchanged for money, and may be withdrawn if obtained by abuse.

Founding Membership is a one-off payment for a fixed first year of the Pro plan plus the benefits listed on the Founding page, limited to the first 100 purchasers. After the first year it renews as a standard annual Pro subscription at the then-current price unless cancelled before the renewal date. The Founding badge remains while you hold an active paid plan.

We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice by email. A change applies from your next renewal; if you do not agree, cancel before then.

7. Right of withdrawal (EU and UK consumers)

If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK you have a statutory right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days without giving a reason. Because the paid features of the Service are a digital service that starts immediately, the law allows you to give up that right in exchange for immediate access. This is how it works on GATEBREAKER:

• Try before you pay. The free plan and any free month let you use the Service before you subscribe, so you can decide with full knowledge.
• At checkout you are asked to confirm that you want the paid features to start immediately and that you understand you will lose the right to withdraw once the service has started. Stripe records this confirmation.
• If you gave that confirmation, the right of withdrawal no longer applies to that purchase (Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU; regulation 37 of the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel the renewal at any time under Section 6.
• If you did not give that confirmation, or the paid features were never activated on your account, email hello@gatebreaker.io from your account email within 14 days of purchase and we will refund the payment within 14 days using the original payment method.

Nothing in this section limits your statutory remedies if the Service is faulty or not as described.

8. Acceptable use

You must not: use the Service to send spam or unsolicited bulk messages; scrape, copy or redistribute Listings or profiles in bulk or offer them through another service; interfere with the Service, other users or our systems; upload malware; post unlawful, defamatory, infringing or hateful content; misrepresent your identity, credentials or results; or use the Service to collect personal data about other people.

We may suspend or close accounts that break these rules and may report unlawful conduct.

9. Get Discovered and market intelligence

Get Discovered is optional and off by default. If you switch it on, your profile may be shown to vetted industry customers as described in the Privacy Policy; you can switch it off at any time. Separately, we produce aggregated, anonymised statistics about the open-call market from platform activity; those statistics never identify you and may be sold to industry customers. Details, legal bases and your right to object are in the Privacy Policy.

10. Third-party sites and organisers

Listings link to third-party pages, forms and email addresses. We are not responsible for those sites, for what organisers do with your application, or for any agreement you make with an organiser. Contests and events are run by their organisers under their own rules.

11. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may change, add or remove features, and may discontinue the Service with at least 30 days' notice; if we do, we refund any prepaid period beyond the closing date.

12. Ending the agreement

You can delete your account at any time from your profile page or by emailing us. We can end your access for breach of these Terms, with notice where practicable. On deletion we erase your personal data as described in the Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature survive (confirmation of rights, licence for backups, liability, governing law) continue to apply.

13. Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything that cannot be limited by law, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Subject to that, we are not liable for: loss of income, bookings, profits or opportunities; Listings that turn out to be inaccurate, withdrawn or fraudulent; actions of organisers or other users; content you send using the AI-assisted tools; or loss caused by events outside our reasonable control. To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability to you for all claims arising from the Service is limited to the amount you paid us for the billing period in which the event giving rise to the claim occurred, and, if you paid nothing, we have no liability beyond the statutory minimum.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer resident in the EU you also benefit from the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country and may bring proceedings there. The European Commission's online dispute resolution platform is at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged to take part in alternative dispute resolution but will consider it in good faith.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. The current version, with its date, is always published on this page and applies from the date shown. Where a change materially affects a paid plan it applies from your next renewal. Continued use of the Service after the published date means you accept the new Terms; if you do not, cancel and stop using the Service.
