The Platform is a hosting service. Registered users of the Platform may submit, upload and post audio, text, photos, pictures, graphics, comments, and other content, data or information (“Content”), which will be stored by ZippyTune at the direction of such registered users, and may be shared and distributed by such registered users, and other users of the Platform, using the tools and features provided as part of the Services and accessible via the Website and elsewhere. The Platform also enables registered users to interact with one another and to contribute to discussions, and enables any user of the Website or certain Services (whether or not registered users of the Platform) to view, listen to and share Content uploaded and made available by registered users.

We may, from time to time, release new tools and resources on the Website, or other services and/or features for the Platform. Any new services and features will be subject to these Terms of Service as well as any additional terms of service that we may release for those specific services or features.



You are not obliged to register to use the Platform. However, access to certain Services is only available to registered users.
When you register to use the Platform, you will provide us with your email address, and will choose a username and password for your account. You must ensure that the email address that you provide is, and remains, valid. Your email address and any other information you chose to provide about yourself will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your username and password, and you will remain responsible for all use of your username and password, and all activity emanating from your account, whether or not such activity was authorized by you.

If your username or password is lost or stolen, or if you believe that your account has been accessed by unauthorized third parties, you are advised to notify ZippyTune in writing, and should change your password at the earliest possible opportunity.

We reserve the right to disallow, cancel, remove or reassign certain usernames in appropriate circumstances, as determined by us in our sole discretion, and may, with or without prior notice, suspend or terminate your account if activities occur on that account which, in our sole discretion, would or might constitute a violation of these Terms of Service or our Community Guidelines, or an infringement or violation of the rights of any third party, or of any applicable laws or regulations.

You may terminate your account at any time as described in the Termination and Right of Cancellation section below. Any attempt to terminate your account by means other than those described in the Termination and Right of Cancellation section will not be considered a proper termination.

Once your account has been terminated or cancelled, any and all Content residing in your account, or pertaining to activity from your account (for example, data relating to the distribution or consumption of your sounds), will be irretrievably deleted by ZippyTune, except to the extent that we are obliged or permitted to retain such content, data or information for a certain period of time in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and/or to protect our legitimate business interests. You are advised to save or back up any material that you have uploaded to your account before terminating or cancelling your account, as ZippyTune assumes no liability for any material that is irretrievably deleted following any cancellation of your account. ZippyTune is not able to provide you with any .csv or other similar file of data relating to activity associated with your account, whether before or after termination or cancellation. This data is provided and is accessible only for viewing via your account page on the Website for as long as your account is active.

Without prejudice to the conditions set forth in Your Use of the Platform, you must not upload, store, distribute, send, transmit, display, perform, make available or otherwise communicate to the public any Content to which you do not hold the necessary rights. In particular, any unauthorized use of copyright protected material within Your Content (including by way of reproduction, distribution, modification, adaptation, public display, public performance, preparation of derivative works, making available or otherwise communicating to the public via the Platform) may constitute an infringement of third party rights and is strictly prohibited. Any such infringements may result in termination of your access to the Platform as described in the Repeat Infringers section below, and may also result in civil litigation or criminal prosecution by or on behalf of the relevant rightsholder.

We may, from time to time, invite or provide you with means to provide feedback regarding the Platform, and in such circumstances, any feedback you provide will be deemed non-confidential and ZippyTune shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use such feedback on an unrestricted basis.

By uploading or posting Your Content to the Platform, you initiate an automated process to transcode any audio Content and direct ZippyTune to store Your Content on our servers, from where you may control and authorise the use, reproduction, transmission, distribution, public display, public performance, making available and other communication to the public of Your Content on the Platform and elsewhere using the Services. To the extent it is necessary in order for ZippyTune to provide you with any of the aforementioned hosting services, to undertake any of the tasks set forth in these Terms of Service and/or to enable your use of the Platform, you hereby grant such licences to ZippyTune on a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free and fully paid basis.

By uploading Your Content to the Platform, you also grant a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, licence to other users of the Platform, and to users of any other websites, apps and/or platforms to which Your Content has been shared or embedded using the Services (“Linked Services”), to use, copy, transmit or otherwise distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, prepare derivative works of, make available and otherwise communicate to the public Your Content within the parameters set by you using the Services. You can limit and restrict the availability of certain of Your Content to other users of the Platform, and to users of Linked Services, at any time using the settings on the sound page for each sound you upload, subject to the provisions of the Disclaimer section below.

The licences granted in this section are granted separately with respect to each item of Your Content that you upload to the Platform. Licences with respect to audio Content, and any images or text within your account, will (subject to the following paragraph of these Terms of Service) terminate automatically when you remove such Content from your account. Licences with respect to comments or other contributions that you make on the Website will be perpetual and irrevocable, and will continue notwithstanding any termination of your account.

Removal of audio Content from your account will automatically result in the deletion of the relevant files from ZippyTune’s systems and servers. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, you hereby acknowledge and agree that once Your Content is distributed to a Linked Service, ZippyTune is not obligated to ensure the deletion of Your Content from any servers or systems operated by the operators of any Linked Service, or to require that any user of the Platform or any Linked Service deletes any item of Your Content.

Any user that receives more than two of these warnings within any twelve month period is liable to have their access to the Platform terminated forthwith.

The Services include the ability for users to embed the ZippyTune waveform player and a fully customisable player (“Widget”) into other websites, including without limitation, their own website or a third party website or social media profile, whether or not a Linked Service. This functionality is provided to enable Uploaders to put their Content wherever they wish, and to enable other users of the Platform to share and distribute Content within the parameters set by the Uploader.

You may not, without the prior written consent of ZippyTune, embed the waveform player or use the Widget in such a way that you aggregate Content from the Platform (other than Your Content) into a separate destination that replicates substantially the offering of the Website, or comprises a content service of which Content from the Platform forms a material part. Similarly, you may not, without the prior written consent of ZippyTune, use the waveform player or Widget to embed Content (other than Your Content) into any website or other destination dedicated to a particular artist or genre, or use the waveform player or Widget in any way that suggests that ZippyTune or any artist or other third party endorses or supports your website, or your use of the waveform player or Widget. The foregoing shall apply whether or not such use is commercial or non-commercial.

ZippyTune reserves the right to block your use of the Widget at any time and for any reason in its sole discretion.

Certain features of the Platform are only available to users who register and pay for a premium account. A detailed description of our premium accounts, including the prices and the features associated with each type of account, is available here.

Fees for premium accounts are payable at the conclusion of the subscription period, and your first payment will be taken at the time the contract is concluded unless stated otherwise. If you choose any of our monthly/weekly/yearly accounts, your account will renew automatically at the end of each monthly/weekly/yearly period, and payment for the concluding month/week/year will be taken at that time, unless and until you cancel or terminate your account in the manner described in the Termination and Right of Cancellation section below.

Payments are due without the need for an invoice, and can be made by Visa or Mastercard. All payments include VAT or other sales tax where applicable. If a credit card processor imposes handling charges in order to process your payment, we may add such charges to the total amount paid for the service – handling charges are typically 1% to 3% of the amount to be paid.

Once payment has been made or the gift code accepted, we will send a confirmation email to the email address provide by you as part of the registration process. Until you receive this confirmation email, no contract is concluded. Completion of the registration process is merely an offer to conclude a contract, and does not constitute the conclusion of a contract. The language of the contract is English.

If you wish to upgrade your account, you may do so at any time. If you wish to downgrade your account, you may do so at the end of your then current subscription period.

If you upgrade to verified and are found to be violating the ZippyTune Terms of Service Agreement or any other Policy, you will not be able to receive a refund for the verified account.

ZippyTune reserves the right to change, modify, withdraw or discontinue any of the features, services and functionalities of the Platform at any time and for any reason with or without notice. ZippyTune also reserves the right at any time and for any reason to suspend, discontinue, terminate or cease providing access to the Platform or any part thereof, temporarily or permanently, and whether in its entirety or with respect to individual territories only. In the case of any temporary or permanent suspension, discontinuation, termination or cessation of access, ZippyTune shall use its reasonable endeavours to notify registered users of such decision in advance.

You hereby agree that ZippyTune and its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, employees, agents, directors, officers and shareholders shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any changes or modifications to the Website and/or any Services that ZippyTune may wish to make from time to time, or for any decision to suspend, discontinue or terminate the Website, the Services or any part or parts thereof, or your possibility to use or access the same from or within any territory or territories.

ZippyTune may change the features of any type of account, may withdraw or, or introduce new types of account at any time and for any reason, and may change the prices charged for any of its premium accounts from time to time. In the event of any change(s) to the pricing or features of any premium account to which you have subscribed, such change(s) will be communicated to you and will only take effect with respect to any subsequent renewal of your subscription. In all other cases, where ZippyTune proposes to make changes to any type of account to which you subscribe, and these changes are material and to your disadvantage, ZippyTune will notify you of the proposed changes by sending a message to your ZippyTune account and an email to the then current email address that we have for your account, at least six (6) weeks in advance. You will have no obligation to continue using the Platform following any such notification, but if you do not terminate your account as described in the Termination and Right of Cancellation section below during such six (6) week period, your continued use of your account after the end of that six (6) week period will constitute your acceptance of the changes to your account.

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by sending notice in writing to ZippyTune at PO BOX 2097, 4007 Ascot, Australia confirming such termination, by removing all of Your Content from your account, by deleting your account and thereafter by ceasing to use the Platform. If you have a premium account, then we will cease to charge you from the first day of the month following receipt of notice of termination from you, but cannot offer any refund for any unexpired period of your subscription, unless it is inside the first fourteen (14) days of your premium account being purchased. If you cancel your account within the first fourteen (14) days of purchasing a premium account, this is considered a 'trial' period and may be cancelled at any time and you will not be charged for the month. If you cancel a premium account, your rights, features and other content that was provided when under that contract will also be removed and you will be returned to a 'free' account, along with the relevant features.

ZippyTune may suspend your access to the Platform and/or terminate this Agreement at any time if (i) you are deemed to be a Repeat Infringer as described above; (ii) you are in breach of any of the material provision of these Terms of Service or our Community Guidelines, including without limitation, the provisions of the following sections: Your Use of the Platform, Your Content, Grant of Licence, and Your Representations and Warranties; (iii) ZippyTune elects at its discretion to cease providing access to the Platform in the jurisdiction where you reside or from where you are attempting to access the Platform, or (iv) in other reasonable circumstances as determined by ZippyTune at its discretion.
