Prices and conditions for creators

Audio guides by private individuals without financial funding can be published for free on guidemate.

For productions by artists, institutions or touristic providers, a service fee is charged:

Fees include VAT.
Individual agreements and special conditions are possible and must be agreed in writing.
As soon as the audio walk is published, guidemate will invoice the provider for the service fees. The service fees are to be paid by the provider via bank transfer or by issuing a SEPA direct debit mandate.

Audio guides to be sold can be published for free. Guidemate retains a commission from the proceeds instead.

Details can be found in the distribution contract.
