Terms of Service

Effective date: 1 March 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Kordinate ("Kordinate", "we", "us", or "our"), a software-as-a-service platform operated by Kordinate ("ABSTRKT"), available at https://kordinate.app. By accessing or using Kordinate, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

1. The Service

Kordinate is a vertical SaaS platform designed for music managers and management companies. It provides tools for deal management (CRM), artist roster management, tour operations, task tracking, release and label workflows, and related functions.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time with reasonable notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

2. Accounts and Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement to use Kordinate. By creating an account, you represent that all information you provide is accurate and that you will keep it up to date.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at team@kordinate.app if you suspect any unauthorised access.

Each organisation account may have multiple team members as permitted by your subscription plan. You are responsible for ensuring all users within your organisation comply with these Terms.

3. Subscriptions and Payment

3.1 Subscription Plans

Kordinate is offered on a subscription basis. Subscription plans, features, and pricing are described on our pricing page. We reserve the right to change pricing with at least 30 days' notice to existing subscribers.

3.2 Billing via Paddle

All payment processing is handled by Paddle.com Market Limited ("Paddle"), who acts as our authorised reseller and Merchant of Record for all purchases. When you purchase a subscription to Kordinate, you are purchasing from Paddle, and Paddle's terms of use and privacy policy also apply to your transaction. Paddle is responsible for processing your payment, issuing receipts, and handling sales tax and VAT compliance in applicable jurisdictions.

By completing a purchase, you authorise Paddle to charge your nominated payment method for the applicable subscription fees on a recurring basis until you cancel.

3.3 Trials

We may offer free trial periods at our discretion. At the end of a trial, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan unless you cancel before the trial ends. No charge is made during the trial period.

3.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at team@kordinate.app. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access to the Service until that date.

3.5 Refunds

Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or at our sole discretion. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, contact us at team@kordinate.app. Refund requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service or its underlying infrastructure

  • Upload or transmit content that is defamatory, obscene, infringing, or otherwise unlawful
  • Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the Service without our express written permission
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or any connected systems

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account immediately if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated this section.

5. Your Content

You retain ownership of all content, data, and materials you upload to or create within Kordinate ("Your Content").

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, KORDINATE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) NZD $100.
