Terms of Service

These Terms govern your access to and use of the products and services provided by SoundRoster through https://soundroster.com (collectively, "Services"). These Terms also govern visitors' access to and use of any websites that use our Services. Please note though that the operators of those websites may also have their own separate terms of use. By accessing or using any part of our Services, you agree to be bound by all of the Terms and all other operating rules, policies, and procedures that we may publish via the Services from time to time (collectively, the "Agreement"). You also agree that we may automatically change, update, or add on to our Services, and this Agreement will apply to any changes.

"You" means any individual or entity using our Services. If you use our Services on behalf of another person or entity, you represent and warrant that you're authorized to accept the Agreement on that person's or entity's behalf, that by using our Services you're accepting the Agreement on behalf of that person or entity, and that if you, or that person or entity, violates the Agreement, you and that person or entity agree to be responsible to SoundRoster.

Where use of our Services requires an account, you agree to provide us with complete and accurate information and to keep the information current so that we can communicate with you about your account. We may need to send you emails about notable updates (like changes to our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy), or to let you know about legal inquiries or complaints we receive about the ways you use our Services so you can make informed choices in response.

We may limit your access to our Services until we're able to verify your account information, like your email address.

When you create an account, we consider that to be an inquiry about our products and services, which means that we may also contact you to highlight a feature that we feel would be of interest to you.

You're solely responsible and liable for all activity under your account. You're also fully responsible for maintaining the security of your account (which includes keeping your password secure). We're not liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of your acts or omissions.

Don't share or misuse your access credentials. And notify us immediately of any unauthorized uses of your account or SoundRoster activity, or of any other breach of security. If we believe your account has been compromised, we may suspend or disable it.

If you'd like to learn about how we handle the data you provide us, please see our Privacy Policy.

Our Services are not directed to children. You're not allowed to access or use our Services if you're under the age of 13 (or 16 in Europe). If you register as a user or otherwise use our Services, you represent that you're at least 13 (or 16 in Europe). You may use our Services only if you can legally form a binding contract with us. In other words, if you're under 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority where you live), you can only use our Services under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to the Agreement.

Using our Services doesn't grant you any right or license to reproduce or otherwise use any of our or third-party trademarks.

We may update, change, or discontinue any aspect of our Services at any time. Since we're constantly updating our Services, we sometimes have to change the legal terms under which they're offered. The Agreement can only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of ours, or if we publish a revised version. We'll let you know when there are changes: we'll post them here and update the "Last Updated" date, and we may also post on one of our blogs or send you an email or other communication before the changes become effective. Your continued use of our Services after the new terms take effect will be subject to the new terms, so if you disagree with the changes in the new terms, you should stop using our Services.
