6. Platform Role & Developer Liability Shield

Tribal Sounds Lab operates strictly as an independent technical medium and digital marketplace connecting independent music producers (sellers) with creators (buyers). The platform and its developer/administrator:

• Act solely as a neutral hosting provider and data conduit for audio storage and profile management via secure Firebase cloud infrastructure.
• Assume zero responsibility, liability, or copyright ownership over any audio files, beats, loops, sample packs, or metadata uploaded by users.
• Are completely indemnified and held harmless by both uploaders and downloaders from any legal disputes, copyright infringement claims, royalty disputes, or financial losses arising from platform usage.
• Maintain no active control over user-submitted content prior to upload, relying entirely on the uploader's warranty of ownership.

7. Payment Processing & Storage Fees

All monetary transactions, purchases, and checkouts on Tribal Sounds Lab are processed securely through independent third-party gateway providers (specifically Cashfree).

• No Direct Payment Access: The platform developer and administrator do not handle, store, or process buyer credit card details, debit cards, or primary financial instruments. Cashfree manages all payment settlements directly.
• Storage & Maintenance Commission: Tribal Sounds Lab retains a standard 10% platform service fee on transactions solely to cover cloud database maintenance, security protocols, and Firebase hosting/storage costs.

8. Creator Payouts & Financial Information

To facilitate earnings withdrawals for producers and sellers, the platform securely stores basic payout destination details, such as UPI IDs, account numbers, and IFSC codes, within encrypted Firebase infrastructure.

• Accuracy of Information: Producers and sellers are solely responsible for providing accurate UPI and bank account details. The platform bears no liability for misdirected funds resulting from user input errors.
• Transfer Delays & Third-Party Faults: Payout transfers are subject to banking hours, network connectivity, and third-party financial processor execution times. The platform is not liable for technical delays, transaction declines, or banking errors outside its direct control.
