Version 1.1 — effective July 11, 2026
1.1 These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern the use of the platform RadioButler.com ("RadioButler", the "Service"), operated by:
DigitalAnna UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Prof. Heincke Str. 31 27498 Helgoland, Germany Email: info@radiobutler.com (the "Provider", "we", "us")
1.2 The Service is offered exclusively to entrepreneurs within the meaning of Sec. 14 German Civil Code (BGB), i.e., natural or legal persons or partnerships with legal capacity who, when concluding the contract, act in the exercise of their trade, business, or profession. The Service is not offered to consumers. By registering, the customer confirms that they act as an entrepreneur.
1.3 Deviating terms and conditions of the customer do not apply unless we have expressly agreed to them in writing.
1.4 The contract language is English.
2.1 RadioButler is a software-as-a-service platform that produces AI-generated radio content and, depending on the selected plan, operates a continuous internet radio stream for the customer. Features include AI-based music selection, AI presenters ("moderation"), AI-generated news, weather and traffic reports, jingles, and advertising spots.
2.2 The following plans are available; the current scope and prices of each plan are shown on RadioButler.com at the time of ordering:
Pay as you order: no subscription; the customer tops up a prepaid credit balance and pays per individual production (e.g., news, features, weather, jingles), plus the cost of the selected text-to-speech service. Pro and Business: monthly subscription plans including a 24/7 AI radio station with the features and limits (e.g., number of concurrent listeners, moderators, jingles) listed on RadioButler.com. Enterprise: individually agreed scope; for Enterprise contracts, individually negotiated terms take precedence over these Terms in case of conflict.
2.3 AI-generated content is produced automatically without human editorial review. We do not warrant that AI-generated content (including news, weather, and traffic reports) is accurate, complete, up to date, or suitable for any particular purpose. The customer must review AI-generated content before relying on it for critical purposes.
2.4 We may modify features of the Service where this is reasonable for the customer, in particular to reflect technical developments, changes in third-party services, or legal requirements, provided the core functionality of the booked plan is preserved.
3.1 Use of the Service requires registration of a customer account. The customer must provide truthful and complete information — including the business name and, where applicable, the VAT identification number — and keep it up to date.
3.2 We may make registration or continued use dependent on reasonable evidence of the customer's entrepreneur status. If it transpires that the customer registered as a consumer or provided false information about their entrepreneur status, we may terminate the contract for good cause.
3.3 Account credentials must be kept confidential. The customer is responsible for all activity under their account unless the activity results from circumstances not attributable to the customer. The customer must inform us immediately of any suspected unauthorized use.
3.4 One person or entity may not register multiple accounts to obtain the starting credit or other one-time benefits more than once.
4.1 The presentation of plans on RadioButler.com does not constitute a binding offer. By completing the order process and clicking the order button, the customer makes a binding offer to conclude a contract. The contract is concluded when we confirm the order by email or activate the Service.
4.2 We store the contract text and send the customer the order details and these Terms by email. The current version of the Terms is available on RadioButler.com.
5.1 All prices are net prices and are subject to statutory VAT, where applicable.
5.2 Subscription fees (Pro, Business) are due monthly in advance. Payment is processed via the payment methods offered at checkout (e.g., PayPal).
5.3 Prepaid credit (Pay as you order): The customer can top up a credit balance. Charges for ordered productions and text-to-speech services are deducted from this balance. Credit is not transferable. Paid-up credit does not expire and will be refunded upon termination of the account at the customer's request; promotional or free credit (e.g., the starting credit for new accounts) is non-refundable, cannot be paid out, and expires when the account is closed.
5.4 Prices for text-to-speech services depend on the third-party provider selected by the customer (e.g., ElevenLabs, Google) and are shown before ordering. We may adjust these pass-through prices if the third-party provider changes its prices; changes apply only to future orders.
5.5 If payment for a subscription fails and remains unpaid after a reminder with a reasonable grace period, we may suspend the Service until payment is received.
6.1 Subscription plans (Pro, Business) run for one month and renew automatically by one month at a time unless terminated with effect from the end of the current billing month. Termination is possible at any time via the account settings or by email to support@radiobutler.com.
6.2 Pay as you order has no minimum term. The customer may close the account at any time; Section 5.3 applies to remaining credit.
6.3 The right of both parties to terminate for good cause (Sec. 314 BGB) remains unaffected. Good cause for us includes, in particular, serious or repeated breaches of Sections 7 to 10 of these Terms, or false statements about the customer's entrepreneur status (Section 3.2).
6.4 Upon termination, the customer's stream is deactivated. We delete customer content — including Uploaded Songs (Section 9) — and generated content within 90 days after the end of the contract, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
7.1 The customer may add their own content to their station (e.g., topics, texts, names, jingles, advertising, own news sources). The customer is solely responsible for this content and for the overall program of their station, including compliance with media, advertising, youth-protection, and press laws applicable to the customer's broadcasts.
7.2 The customer warrants that content they provide, and the configuration of their station, does not infringe third-party rights (including copyright, trademark, personality, and data-protection rights) and does not violate applicable law.
7.3 The customer grants us the non-exclusive right to reproduce, process, and transmit content they provide to the extent necessary to operate the Service.
7.4 The customer must not use the Service to disseminate content that is illegal, in particular content that is defamatory, discriminatory, pornographic, harmful to minors, or that incites hatred or violence.
8.1 The customer is the operator ("broadcaster") of their station. RadioButler provides the technical platform, content production, and — where the customer uses the MusicBox — a technical music-selection and playout function. The customer is solely responsible for obtaining and paying for all rights and licenses required for the public communication and broadcasting of music and other protected works via their station. This applies regardless of whether the music played is uploaded by the customer or selected or scheduled by RadioButler (including via the MusicBox). It includes, in particular, licenses from collecting societies (in Germany: GEMA and GVL; in other countries: the competent local collecting societies) and any required broadcasting registrations or permits under the media law of the customer's country.
8.2 The customer must hold the required licenses before putting their station on air and must maintain them for the entire duration of operation. Upon request, the customer shall provide us with evidence of the required licenses. The provision of the MusicBox does not constitute a representation that the broadcasting of the selected songs is licensed; no rights of public communication are transferred to the customer by RadioButler.
8.3 If we obtain credible evidence that a station is operated without the required rights, we may suspend the stream after notifying the customer, until the customer demonstrates that the required rights exist.
8.4 The customer shall indemnify us upon first request against all third-party claims, including reasonable costs of legal defense, arising from the customer's operation of their station without the required rights — including claims relating to music uploaded by the customer or selected or scheduled by RadioButler — or from content provided by the customer in breach of Section 7.
9.1 Upload feature. The Service includes a song-upload feature. The customer may upload music recordings ("Uploaded Songs") for playback exclusively on their own station. We may suspend or revoke the upload feature in case of a breach of this Section 9.
9.2 No sharing. Uploaded Songs are stored in the customer's own music library. They are not made available to other RadioButler customers, and the customer has no access to songs uploaded by other customers. Each station's program is built exclusively from the customer's own Uploaded Songs and the other content included in their plan.
9.3 Rights warranty for uploads. The customer may upload only songs (a) that originate from a lawful source (in particular lawfully purchased or licensed copies; recordings from unlawful sources must not be uploaded) and (b) whose storage on our servers and use for playback on the customer's own station the customer is entitled to arrange. The clearing of the rights of public communication for the customer's broadcasts (in particular collecting-society licenses) is governed by Section 8 and remains the customer's responsibility.
9.4 License grant. The customer grants us the non-exclusive right, for the duration of the contract, to store, reproduce, and technically process Uploaded Songs (e.g., transcoding, loudness normalization, metadata handling) and to transmit them, solely to the extent necessary to operate the customer's own station. We act in this respect as the customer's technical service provider; we acquire no rights to use Uploaded Songs for other customers or for our own purposes.
9.5 Rights declaration. With every upload, the customer confirms that the requirements of Section 9.3 are met for the uploaded songs. We store these declarations. Uploads in breach of Section 9.3 constitute good cause for termination (Section 6.3) and for revoking the upload feature.
9.6 Removal; notice and takedown. The customer may delete their Uploaded Songs at any time via the Service. We may remove any song from the Service at any time, in particular upon receiving a notice of alleged rights infringement. Rights holders may report infringements to support@radiobutler.com; we will review reports without undue delay and remove infringing content.
9.7 Indemnity. The customer shall indemnify us upon first request against all third-party claims, including reasonable costs of legal defense, arising from Uploaded Songs provided in breach of Section 9.3 or from the broadcasting of Uploaded Songs without the rights required under Section 8.
10.1 The customer may not exceed the technical limits of the booked plan (in particular the number of concurrent listeners) by technical means.
10.2 Re-streaming, i.e., feeding the stream provided by us into other distribution channels or stream providers, is not permitted for Pro and Business plans unless expressly agreed. Enterprise customers' rights follow their individual agreement.
10.3 The customer may not interfere with the operation of the platform, attempt to gain unauthorized access, or use the Service to develop a competing product by systematic extraction of content or functionality.
10.4 In case of a breach of this Section 10 or of Sections 7 to 9, we may — taking into account the customer's legitimate interests — temporarily block individual features, individual songs, the stream, or the account. We will notify the customer, stating the reasons, before or without undue delay after the blocking, unless notification would defeat the purpose of the measure or we are legally prevented from giving it.
11.1 The customer may use audio content generated for them via the Service (news, features, weather and traffic reports, moderation, jingles, openers, outros) for broadcasting on their own station, podcast, or platform, including commercially. Resale of generated content as such (e.g., as a content library) is not permitted without our consent.
11.2 The use of AI voices is additionally subject to the license terms of the respective text-to-speech provider (e.g., ElevenLabs, Google). We will inform the customer of applicable restrictions within the Service where relevant.
11.3 We do not warrant that AI-generated content is free of third-party rights in every conceivable use outside the Service; the customer is responsible for verifying uses beyond ordinary broadcasting on their station.
12.1 We provide the Service with an average availability of 98.5% per calendar year. Excluded from this are periods of announced maintenance, disruptions caused by force majeure, and disruptions of third-party services outside our control.
12.2 The Service depends on third-party services (in particular text-to-speech providers, news sources, hosting, and payment providers). If a third-party service is discontinued or materially changed, we may replace it with a functionally comparable service.
13.1 We are liable without limitation for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body, or health, under the German Product Liability Act, and under any guarantee we have expressly given.
13.2 In cases of slight negligence, we are liable only for breaches of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfillment is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on whose fulfillment the customer regularly relies and may rely). In these cases, our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.
13.3 Any further liability is excluded. This limitation also applies in favor of our legal representatives and vicarious agents.
13.4 We are not liable for the content of the customer's station towards third parties to the extent that the content or its broadcasting falls within the customer's sphere of responsibility under Sections 7 to 9.
Information on the processing of personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy.
15.1 We may amend these Terms with effect for the future where this is necessary for valid reasons (e.g., changes in law or case law, changes in third-party services, new features) and the amendment is reasonable for the customer. Fees for already-booked plans are not increased via this mechanism.
15.2 We will notify the customer of amendments by email at least six weeks before they take effect. The amendments are deemed accepted if the customer does not object before the effective date; we will specifically point this out in the notification, together with the customer's right to object and to terminate. If the customer objects, either party may terminate the contract with effect from the effective date of the amendment.
16.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
16.2 If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is the registered office of the Provider. We are, however, entitled to sue the customer at their general place of jurisdiction.
16.3 Should individual provisions of these Terms be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
