Terms of Use for Audio Delivery Network

a. Your Content

You are entirely responsible for all audio files, images (including album artwork), metadata, data, and any other content ("Client Content") that you upload, store, transmit, or otherwise make available through the Service. You represent and warrant that:

• You either own all intellectual property rights in and to the Client Content, or you have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to lawfully use and distribute it via the Service;
• Your Client Content does not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third-party rights, including copyrights, trademarks, moral rights, or rights of publicity or privacy;
• You will not use the Service to host, share, or distribute any audio files, artwork, metadata, or materials that you do not have the legal right to use.

Audio Delivery Network does not review, verify, or approve Client Content, and bears no responsibility or liability for the legality or appropriateness of any such content.

You acknowledge and agree that Audio Delivery Network shall have zero liability for any claims, damages, losses, or legal actions arising from copyright infringement, intellectual property disputes, or any other claims related to your Client Content. You are solely responsible for any and all legal costs, damages, settlements, or penalties that may result from the content you upload, store, or make available through the Service.

b. Management of Access

You are responsible for the creation, distribution, and management of all access keys generated for your account. You acknowledge that you have sole discretion and control over who is granted access to upload and play audio content through your access keys, and you are responsible for implementing appropriate access controls and safeguards.

c. Creator Activities

If you permit third-party users ("Creators") to upload content to your account using access keys you have generated, you acknowledge and agree that you are exclusively responsible and liable for all actions, omissions, and content uploaded by such Creators. Audio Delivery Network does not vet, monitor, or control Creator submissions in any way and shall bear no liability arising from such activities.

d. Listener Access and Use

You are solely responsible for how listeners ("Listeners") access and use audio content made available through your implementation of the Service. Audio Delivery Network does not have access to, or visibility into, your listener implementations and makes no representations or warranties regarding the user experience, playback mechanisms, or delivery of audio to listeners.

e. Compliance with Laws

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service, your Client Content, and the activities of your Creators and Listeners comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and third-party rights.

a. Subscription Plans and Add-Ons

The Service is offered on a subscription basis with various plan tiers and optional add-ons. By selecting a plan, you agree to pay the applicable fees at the frequency specified (monthly or annually). Add-on features are billed separately and may have their own billing terms as described at the time of purchase.

b. Payment Processing

Payments are processed by our third-party payment provider, Stripe. By providing your payment information, you agree to Stripe's Services Agreement and Privacy Policy. Audio Delivery Network does not directly store your full credit card or payment details.

c. Automatic Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. You will be charged the then-current rate for your plan at each renewal. It is your responsibility to cancel before the renewal date if you do not wish to continue.

d. How Storage Usage Is Measured

Plan limits are primarily based on storage. Your usage for a billing period is determined by whichever is greater:

• Current storage: the total amount of data stored in your account at any point during the billing period; or
• Cumulative processing: the total amount of audio uploaded and processed over the course of the billing period, including files that were later deleted.

For example, if you currently store 3 GB but have uploaded and processed a total of 10 GB during the month (deleting files along the way), your usage for that period is 10 GB.

This policy exists because processing audio consumes significant compute resources regardless of whether the files are retained afterward. Repeatedly uploading, processing, and deleting content to stay within plan limits is considered abuse and may result in suspension or termination of your account (see Section 10).

e. Refund Policy

We want you to be satisfied with the Service. The following refund terms apply:

• New subscriptions: If you are not satisfied with the Service, you may request a full refund of your subscription fee within 14 days of your initial subscription purchase. This 14-day refund window applies only to your first billing period and is not available on subsequent renewals.
• Annual plans: If you cancel an annual subscription within the first 30 days, you may receive a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of your term. After 30 days, annual subscriptions are non-refundable.
• Monthly plans: Monthly subscription fees are non-refundable once a billing period has begun, except during the 14-day new subscription window described above.
• Usage-based charges: Charges based on actual usage (such as bandwidth, storage, or delivery) are non-refundable, as the underlying resources have been consumed.
• Add-ons: Add-on purchases follow the same refund terms as the subscription plan they are associated with.
• Billing errors: If you believe you have been charged in error, please contact us within 30 days of the charge. Verified billing errors will be refunded in full.

All refund requests should be submitted to [email protected]. Approved refunds will be credited to the original payment method within 5–10 business days.

f. Failed Payments and Suspension

If a payment fails, we will attempt to process the charge again and notify you. If payment remains outstanding after a reasonable grace period, we reserve the right to suspend or downgrade your account until the balance is resolved. Continued non-payment may result in account termination and deletion of stored content.

By using the Service, you grant Audio Delivery Network a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to access, store, process, transmit, and cache your Client Content solely to the extent necessary to provide the Service to you. This license does not grant Audio Delivery Network the right to distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, or sublicense your Client Content for any purpose other than the technical operation of the Service.

You must respond to such notices promptly and in compliance with applicable law.

c. Right to Remove Content

Audio Delivery Network reserves the right to remove or disable access to any Client Content that is the subject of a valid copyright complaint or takedown notice, particularly if you fail to respond within a reasonable time frame (typically 48 hours) or if continued hosting of the content would expose Audio Delivery Network to legal risk. We will notify you before or promptly after taking such action.

d. Repeat Infringers

Audio Delivery Network reserves the right to suspend or terminate the accounts of Clients who are the subject of repeated copyright complaints or who demonstrate a pattern of infringing activity.
