PLEASE READ THE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY IF YOU WISH TO USE THE SITE OR SERVICE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SITE.
You may not use the Site or Service unless you agree to these Terms. In the event you become a subscriber to our Service and are able to technically bypass or disable the "click" through mechanism for acceptance of the end user subscription agreement ("Subscription Agreement") and these Terms, then by accessing, installing, copying, downloading or otherwise using the Site or Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
We are very sensitive to your privacy. Please see our Privacy Notice for information and disclosures relating to the collection and use of your personal information in connection with your use of the Site and Service.
No charge is made for the general use of the Site unless you subscribe for the Service, although you should be aware that charges for Internet use may apply at rates that are determined by your provider. If you wish to subscribe to our Service, you must click on the link for our Subscriber Agreement , fill in any required information (see below) and click the "I Agree" button at the bottom. By clicking the "I agree" button, you not only agree to the Terms herein, but you also affirm your consent to the Subscriber Agreement. The additional terms of the Subscriber Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms and if there is any conflict between these Terms and the additional terms, the additional terms shall prevail with the respect to the subject matter of the Subscriber Agreement.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms at any time. If we do this, we will post the changes to these Terms on this page. Your continued use of the Site and Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to abide by these or any future Terms, do not use or access (or continue to use or access) Service or the Site
In order to use the Service, you are required to register with us. You will be required to provide certain basic information such as your name, age, password, valid e-mail address and billing information or other information ("Registration Data"). You are permitted to establish one account and to access your account by means of an Internet connection (which we do not provide). You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any breach of security with respect to your account. We will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your account, either with or without your knowledge. In addition, you may be held liable for any losses incurred by us or another party due to someone else using your account. You may not use anyone else's account at any time.
You agree to (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about you as may be prompted by any registration forms on the Site ; (b) maintain the security of your password and identification; (c) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, and any other information you provide to us, to keep it accurate, current and complete; and (d) be fully responsible for all use of your account and for any actions that take place using your account. If we allow you to choose a username and you select, in our sole discretion, one that is obscene, indecent, abusive or which is otherwise objectionable or improper under applicable law, we have the right, without prior notice to you, to automatically change your username, deny you access to the Service, or any combination of these options. You may not transfer your registration, password or user name to another person or share it with anyone. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage that may result if you fail to comply with these requirements. If you believe your information has been used without your authorization, you agree to notify us immediately.
By subscribing to or accessing the Service, you are representing to us that you are authorized to use the credit card or other form of payment you submit (if any). We may use third parties to facilitate payment transactions and you should review such third party terms and conditions before entering into any transaction. Tunesat is not liable or responsible for such third party transactions.
Our Service uses an "acoustic fingerprint" proprietary technology as a means of processing and analyzing certain aspects of your audio data that you provide to us from time to time ("Audio Data") as more fully described below and in the Subscriber Agreement.
You will provide Tunesat with digital files of all Audio Data ("Files") that you wish us to analyze for the purposes of detecting the potential unauthorized use of such Audio Data through various mediums as set forth in the Subscriber Agreement. You will also provide us with all digitally embedded identifying information (the "Metadata") required by us. We usually load the additional Audio Data and Metadata within thirty (30) days following our receipt of the Files and Metadata. You understand and agree that the Service may not detect Audio Data which is not delivered in the proper format (we will provide you with the application to upload your Files). You hereby grant to us during the term of the Subscriber Agreement a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify and display the Files, Metadata and Audio Data provided by you for the purposes described herein. Such Audio Data and Metadata shall be used in association with our software; to identify the use of Audio Data and its corresponding "Acoustic Fingerprint" and other uses within Company's business as it deems reasonable necessary. We will collect data detailing the use and performances of the Audio Data in the territories you specify and report as part of our online portal which is accessible to you as part of the Service, the time, date, duration and source of each such performance.
You are solely responsible for the information (including any personal data), Audio Data, Metadata, opinions, reviews and all other content that you upload, publish, modify, or display on or through the Site or Service or transmit to or share with us (collectively the "User Content").

Please note, that if you (by opting-out of some or all portions of the Service) or we delete any information provided by you, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying a recycle bin on a computer and you acknowledge that any removed information or content may persist in backup copies or may be imbedded in the Service as aggregate data.
