Terms & Condition

1. Introduction and General Information About the Nature of These Terms

We strongly recommend that you carefully and closely read these Terms of Use (hereafter simply, “Terms”) before using any of the services provided by Playlist-Promotion.com. Playlist-Promotion.com (hereafter “we,” “us” or “our”) allows independent artists and musicians to receive feedback and comments on their music from popular music playlist curators. The specifics of our Privacy Policy are also included within these Terms, though they will only be referenced herein by name. Those interested in the specifics of the Privacy Policy should consult it directly.

All users of Playlist-Promotion.com are to understand that the following Terms constitute a legally binding contract and that they may change at any time in response to changes in our business model or other business conditions. Users are themselves responsible for staying informed of any such changes. By agreeing to use our services, you tacitly agree both to regularly reread these Terms for the purpose of staying abreast of any possible changes and to accept all changes when they are made.

As the Terms contained herein are a legally binding and valid contract, you — the user or users of Playlist-Promotion.com — must only use our services if you agree to abide by the Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, do not use any of our services. Each time you use Playlist-Promotion.com, you are understood to have tacitly accepted the most recent version of our Terms.

Furthermore, by agreeing to our Terms, you represent that you are able to enter into legally binding contracts either because you are at least 18 years of age or, if you are below 18 years of age, because your legal parent or guardian formally consents to these Terms on your behalf. If you are an Emancipated Minor or possess any other legal status that allows you to consent to legally binding contracts despite being under 18 years of age, the same is also understood to apply.

Children, however, are prohibited from using our services under any circumstances. “Children” are defined any persons under 13 years of age. The presence of any formal consent on the part of the legal parents or guardians of any children who wish to use our services will be disregarded. Children simply should not use Playlist-Promotion.com.

In the event that you should desire to bring forth any contractual dispute with us over any aspects of our services, please be aware that Sections 9, 10 and 11 of these Terms discuss, respectively, consequences for violating our Terms, the limitations on our legal liability and the special provisions related to waivers and mandatory arbitration that may affect your ability to bring forth a lawsuit against us. We therefore strongly advise you to read those sections with extreme care.

Posting. As used throughout these Terms, the words “post” and “posting” shall refer to any content which users upload to, submit to or display upon Playlist-Promotion.com, or to the act of so doing. Thus, if you are a musician or artist and you apply for a campaign on the Playlist-Promotion.com Service to promote some music that you have uploaded and/or linked to, that uploaded and/or linked-to music shall constitute your post.

Personal Information. The phrase “Personal Information” shall herein have precisely the same meaning as it was given in the Playlist Promotion Privacy Policy. Consult the Privacy Policy for the meaning of this phrase or for any other part of the Privacy Policy that is of interest to you.

No Relation to Any Other Streaming Services. Although we do enable artists to seek feedback from knowledgeable and respected music curators who compile music playlists for music streaming platforms like Spotify, we are not ourselves affiliated with or part of any music streaming services.

Clarifications About Connecting to Spotify. Despite not being affiliated with Spotify in any way, we do allow our users to use our services in conjunction with Spotify. If you decide to do so, be mindful of the following things:

• You are absolutely prohibited from using Playlist-Promotion.com or any of its services to make any reverse-engineered, disassembled or otherwise derivative platform based on Spotify, and this includes reverse engineering Spotify’s source code and making it human-perceivable;
• We make absolutely no warranties or legal representations of any kind with respect to Spotify and explicitly and completely reject all suggestion or insinuation of any such warranties or representations;
• We are only responsible for our own Playlist-Promotion.com services and reject all legal liability for anything having to do with Spotify;
• If you have questions about Spotify or legal disputes that you wish to bring against them, consult Spotify’s legal disclosures and specific terms of use and contact them directly;
• Spotify is, however, intended to be a third-party beneficiary of these Terms, meaning that they will have the legal right to enforce them against you when appropriate.

2. Playlist-Promotion.com Service

When we refer to the “Playlist-Promotion.com Service” (or simply the “Service” or “Services”), we mean any websites, mobile apps or other platforms which are either wholly or partially under the control of Playlist-Promotion.com and which serve as digital or online means to promote or disseminate Playlist-Promotion.com’s services related to the placement of music on playlists or the ability of curators to review music. These include playlist-promotion.com, youtube.playlist-promotion.com, app.playlist-promotion.com, and help.playlist-promotion.com.

Privacy and Permission. As long as you agree to these Terms and fulfill the requirements mentioned throughout them, we grant you full permission to use the Service, subject to any future changes that we may decide to implement. All of the personal information which you share with us will be fully protected in the ways and to the extent described in our Privacy Policy.

3. Your Account

Whenever you use your account, you are taken to represent to Playlist-Promotion.com that all of the information you provide to us is accurate, complete and truthful, to the best of your knowledge. This includes all instances in which you may sign up for a campaign as an artist, all instances in which you work with the Service as a curator, and all other cases in which you use the service in any capacity.

Everything that happens on your account when your login credentials are used is your own responsibility. It is also your responsibility to keep all of your account information up-to-date and accurate. Section V below explains some of what will happen in the event that there is a security and your account or any of the information on it is compromised.

4. Payments and Purchases

Payments flow through the Service in two primary ways: as payments from artists who wish to purchase campaigns to us and as payments from us to curators in exchange for reviewing and giving their thoughts on new music.

Payments to Curators. Curators are only paid to listen to and review songs. They are not paid to add songs to add songs to their playlists or to recommend that any songs be added to any other playlists. If any curator chooses to so add any song(s) or to make any such recommendations, he does so purely at his own personal discretion.

Artist Campaign Payments. When you, as an artist, pay us for a campaign, you are only paying to have your song(s) reviewed by curators on the site. You are not paying to have your song(s) added to any playlist.

Upon paying for a campaign, you incur the responsibility to pay any and all charges made to you through our Service or through any authorized payment vendor that we may select. You will be held responsible for paying whatever price stands for the services you have requested at the time that you had requested them. Additionally, you will be required to pay all processing charges and taxes associated with your purchase.

General Information About Orders. Whenever you place an order through our Service, you are understood to represent that all services ordered will only be used in a lawful manner.

We reserve the full right to discontinue any campaign at any time; to stipulate conditions for honoring any coupon, coupon code, discount or other sort of promotion; and to either prevent users from making transactions or to refuse to offer services to them entirely. We may do any of these things at any time and for any reason, and we are not required to provide advance notification to any user about any plans to do so.

Refunds Policy. We only offer complete, 100% refunds for all purchases made in one sort of circumstance: if the client has not received the total follower reach placements or video views that he has paid for. Refunds will not be forthcoming under any other circumstances.

5. Communications From Us

When signing up for an account with Playlist-Promotion.com, you must, among other things, provide us with an e-mail address. When we communicate with you, we will do so primarily through the e-mail address that you provide, and you agree to receive such e-mail communications from us.

When we communicate with you, it will chiefly be for customer-service-related and/or administrative reasons, or for other possible reasons that will be discussed throughout these Terms.

In the event of a security breach in which your Personal Information is placed at risk, we will attempt to notify you of what has happened as quickly as possible, either through a notice on the Playlist-Promotion.com Service or through an e-mail sent directly to you. You have the legal right to receive, free of charge, notification of all security breaches in writing. To request such written notification (or to insist on only receiving formal written notification instead of an e-mail), write to us at legal@playlist-promotion.com.

6. Playlist-Promotion.com’s Ownership and Use of Content

All of the content over which Playlist-Promotion.com claims ownership is our property or the property of our licensors. By extension, we or our licensors also claim ownership over any compilations, collections or arrangements of any of our content. Thus, all such content is protected under all relevant copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.

Our copyright and intellectual property policy with regard to our content will be spelled out in fuller detail in Section VII of these Terms, but be aware that our claiming of intellectual property rights over our content means that, unless you have been explicitly granted permission to do so in writing, you are strictly prohibited from selling, leasing, loaning or otherwise distributing any of our content. You are also similarly prohibited from copying, modifying, framing or otherwise creating derivative works using any of our content. These prohibitions apply to all of our content (except Brand Assets https://playlist-promotion.com/branding/), whether in whole or in part.

Licensing to You. Subject to the above-mentioned restrictions and to any other additional conditions that may be specified at any point in our Terms, we authorize you, the user of Playlist-Promotion.com’s Service, to have access to our content for your own personal use. This access, however, is granted solely at our personal discretion and may thus be revoked at any time and for any reason. We expressly prohibit your use of any sort of data mining or data collection and/or algorithms or software tools over any of our content. This includes, but is not limited to, things like robots and crawlers. All other uses for our content are similarly explicitly prohibited.

When using our content, you agree to abide by all trademark, copyright and intellectual property laws that apply to our content. Failure to use that content in accordance with our conditions may constitute a violation of any such laws and will be subject to the appropriate legal penalties.

Therefore, any use of such things without our express, written, legal permission is prohibited, and you must agree not to use any of these things without said legal permission. The only admissible exception to this occurs if we provide you with links which lead to webpages that display our content.

7. Copyright, Intellectual Property and Your Licensing Rights

Though you may own the copyrights or other intellectual property rights to any of the songs or other content that you decide to post on Playlist-Promotion.com, by choosing to post it on our website, you thereby agree to allow us to use it for any reason which both does not contradict our Privacy Policy and which promotes our mission to bring the Playlist-Promotion.com Service to our users.

As other users will similarly own the intellectual property rights to their own content, we strongly advise you to make certain that you have obtained their permission before you use it. Failure to do so may expose you to lawsuits from them.

Your Content. Our Services allows to post or share various kinds of digital content. This includes music files, videos, photos, comments and other kinds of written text. We will refer to this as “Your User Content.” To give examples, if you are an artist, you may share or upload music that you have created. That music is thus part of Your User Content. Similarly, if you are a curator and you post a review of some music, that review is part of Your User Content.

We Claim No Ownership or Responsibility. All content that you post on our Service is solely your responsibility and does not belong to us. If there is Personal Information pertaining to you that you do not wish to be known or to be accessible through our Service, do not post it.

This means, among other things, that if you post anything on our Service which is false, defamatory or that may otherwise expose you to legal sanction, we assume no responsibility for any of this whatsoever. All such risks are entirely undertaken at your own discretion.

It also means you, or those whom you have authorized, retain all relevant intellectual property rights to the content. If you know or suspect that any of the intellectual property rights to what you have posted have been violated, it is up to you to seek legal redress for those harms. We will not protect your rights for you.

You Must Have the Rights to What You Post. Related to the subject of you assuming all legal risks for everything you post is the subject of your own legal rights to the content that you post. When you post content through our Service, you are presumed to represent and warrant that: (i) you either directly own the rights to the content that you are posting yourself or at least have been granted permission to license it out in the way specified throughout Section VII of these Terms; and (ii) none of your posts, nor anything in them, violates any of the privacy rights, contractual rights, intellectual property rights or any other legal rights of any other person or party. In the event that any of your posts result in a breach of contract between you and another party, you must pay all royalties or other fees associated with and stemming from that breach.

If you do not have the rights to the content that you post through our service, you will be subject to the full legal risks and penalties associated with posting without such rights, and we will not provide you with any legal defense or protection for so doing. Everything that you post is also assumed to be non-confidential and non-proprietary. If you have any propriety or confidential information, we strongly recommend not posting it.

You Gain No Ownership Over Others’ Content. Just as you are presumed to have the ownership rights to any content that you choose to post on our Service, so other users are presumed to have the ownership rights over their posted content. Therefore, merely by using our Service, it is understood that you will gain no rights, titles or interests, whether whole or partial, in any of the content posted by any other users. This applies to all intellectual property rights without reservation, including copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents and others.

Our Use of the Content You Share on Our Service. If you decide to post, share or create any content on or through our Service over which we have not claimed ownership rights, you thereby grant to us a royalty-free, non-exclusive, sub-licensable and transferrable license to use, publish, remove, transfer or otherwise display any of the content you have posted anywhere in the world. This means that we are not required to compensate you in any way for for displaying or in any manner manipulating or reforming the content — even if you find such displays or manipulations personally objectionable. We thus acquire sole discretion over the content you post, limited only by our Privacy Policy and by the other conditions spelled out in these Terms.

Our Copyright Policy. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (hereafter, the “DMCA”) provides the template for the basic law relating to the use of copyright for content that appears on the internet.

If you think that anything posted on Playlist-Promotion.com has violated your valid copyrights in any material, as specified in the DMCA, please provide a notice to us explaining this. The notice is known as a “Notification of Claimed Infringement,” and either you or your attorney or other legal agent may send the notice to us. The notice should request that the content in question be removed or at least that access to it by others be blocked. The notice is required to contain the following additional information:

• A specification of exactly which copyrighted work you believe your rights to have been infringed, or a complete listing of all such works if there is more than one of them;
• A statement that you, or your agent, believes in good faith, that the aforesaid work(s) and material have been put to a use that has not been authorized by you, the copyright holder;
• Your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address (if available) or other means to contact you;
• A solemn and sworn statement in which you, or your agent, declare(s), under penalty of perjury, that the party issuing the complaint is legally authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner (either because the complaining party is the copyright owner or because he is his designated legal agent);
• A specification of precisely which material within the work or works in question which you allege to be infringing upon your copyright;
• Enough information about the aforesaid work or works to enable us to locate it/them on our Service;
• The physical or electronic signature either of the copyright owner or of the person authorized to act as his legal representative in the matter of infringement.

If you believe that another user has either wrongly or mistakenly filed a DMCA claim against you, you have the right, under the DMCA, to send us a counter-notice in which you explain the circumstances of the alleged false claim.

We strongly advice you to consult 17 U.S.C. § 512 before filing either a notice or a counter-notice, as the DMCA stipulates penalties for filing false DMCA claims. You should send all notices and counter-notices relating to us and our Service to legal@playlist-promotion.com. To guarantee that your notice or counter-notice meets all of the most up-to-date requirements stipulated by the DMCA, please consult http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ .

Our reasons for reviewing content are not limited to these things, however. Essentially, we may review content for any reason that we deem acceptable, but the aforementioned reasons are likely or representative reasons for why we might choose do so.

You further agree to submit to personal arbitration to resolve such disputes. The only exception to this involves cases surrounding relief of an injunction.

However, if we prevail in court against you in matters pertaining to injunctive relief, we may collect reasonable attorneys’ fees from you.
