The IGAC, Inspecção Geral das Actividades Culturais – General Inspection of Cultural Activities- whose mission is the protection of Copyright and Related Rights, as well as the supervision of artistic performances in nature, among others.

We strongly advise the content users of this website to print multiple copies of this Declaration (as well as the SPA referred to above), if they are to use the contents in public spaces, in order to surrender to authorities for inspection and supervision, if is the case.

The IGAC Declaration is clear that the content downloaded from www.karaoketosing.com are legal and may be used publicly since there are Public Viewing Licenses issued by the holders of rights in this case PASSMÚSICA and SPA, as mentioned above. And the cool part about it on content is carried out.

However, there are a few rules to follow, which have nothing to do with the contents of karaoke, but with the actual activity of the establishments where they perform karaoke or even of the very karaoke jokey. As stated in the Declaration of IGAC, and if applicable, are:

– License of Representation
– Registration of the IGAC Promoter

 4 – Other informations

We have noticed that some customers when register on our site do not use a valid ID number. Others place the name of only one name and some incomplete addresses.

You are also advised that the correct identification is the responsibility of the customer who registers on our site. In the case of someone who intends to use the content publicly, could have problems because the documents issued by the site bring this information wrong or incomplete, giving rise to non-compliance in case of inspection by the authorities, whereupon the client unable fully demonstrate that it is the buyer himself.

We recommend that all who are in this situation to review your data and if necessary, change your registration to get the correct data.

For security reasons, the change of name, country and ID number can only be done by us and not by the client in changing data. If so, send us an email using the same e-mail record, indicating the password to enter the site and the personal code  that are in my area (a large sequence of digits), we changed the incorrect data.

Another aspect yet and we have noticed is that some clients register with incorrect emails. Here are unable to receive automatic e-mail registration confirmation, sending confirmation of purchase and / or payment, list of contents and Invoice / Receipt.
We advise that if you have registered and have never received any email from karaoketosing.com, check your email login and if necessary amending it to a correct email the My Area.
