• A binding contract between the celebrity and Tappindia is first concluded when the celebrity accepts the request from Tappindia for the creation of a video by clicking the send button. The celebrity can therefore decide which Tappindia requests he/she wishes to accept, however is obligated upon acceptance to create the video in accordance with the provided details. If the celebrity accepts a request he/she is obligated to create a greeting message that corresponds to the instructions of the fans.
• Celebrities must ensure that only they use their account. They acknowledge that as owners of the user accounts they are fully responsible for all activities that are performed via the user accounts.

• The celebrity receives payment from Tappindia for the creation of the video. Claim to payment arises first when the video is accepted by the fan or when in the scope of mediation (see no. 6 of these Terms and Conditions) Tappindia decides that the video corresponds to the request. The amount of payment is provided as the net amount (minus applicable VAT) that Tappindia receives from the fan less a fee calculated by Tappindia (15 % of the net price as long as no deviating agreement is concluded), as well as the stipulated donation (see no. 7 of these Terms and Conditions). Payment shall be issued as soon as the celebrity requests this via the app, however only when a credit of at least 200 EUR is available.

Acceptance of the Video, Mediation

It is hereby to be observed that the celebrities are not obligated to follow all of the fans’ specifications, but only the content important for the purpose of the video (occasion, addressing of the recipient, etc.).
• If a video is reported as disputed, Tappindia decides on the procedure.

In the event that Tappindia decides that the fan’s complaint is justified the contract shall be revoked. The user acknowledges that Tappindia’s decision in the scope of mediation is binding for all parties.

Donations from Celebrities
