AudPop Terms of Service

Overview

These terms and conditions ("Terms of Service") govern your access to and use of the AudPop website and any and all information, text, graphics, photos or other materials (collectively "content") uploaded, downloaded or appearing on the services. By accessing and using the services, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, you are not allowed to use the services. Wherever used in these Terms of Service, "you," "your" or similar terms mean the person or legal entity utilizing or accessing the services.

We partner with video festivals to sponsor certain categories at AudPop. We have also developed mobile technology for audiences to vote at those festivals they are attending via our site.

AudPop may update and change the Terms of Service from time to time without notice. Continued use of the service after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes. You are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms of Service.

These Terms of Service include AudPop privacy policy, which is currently available HERE. By accessing and using the website you are consenting to (or promising that you have obtained appropriate consent for) the collection and use of personal information by AudPop in accordance with AudPop privacy policy.

Basic Terms

  1. You are responsible for your use of the services and for any content accessed or made available to others through your account (even if that content is accessed or made available by others). AudPop will not be held responsible for your use of the services or for any such content.
  2. To access or use the services, you must be able to form a binding contract with AudPop and you must not be prohibited from receiving the services under United States law or any other applicable laws.
  3. AudPop may change the services or stop providing them (temporarily or permanently) at any time and from time to time without notice.

  5. Your access to and use of the services must be in accordance with these Terms of Service. If you violate these Terms of Service, you are no longer permitted to use the services and AudPop may, but has no obligation to, terminate your ability to access or use the services at any time.
  6. In order to use AudPop you must be at least 13 years of age.

Your Account and Voting Terms

  1. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account login information and for any activities or actions occurring under your account.

AudPop will not be responsible for any loss or damages resulting from your failure to comply with this obligation.
  2. Each account login may only be used by one person - a single login shared by multiple people is not permitted.

Neither video creators nor third parties retained by video creators may solicit or entice others to vote by offering any type of consideration, including gifts, awards, barters, bribes or inducements, including merchandise, cash, online currency, discounts, lottery or anything deemed to have value in exchange for votes, including donations to charity. Noncompliance may result in removal from the video Campaign.
  11. Soliciting others for votes or sending spam related to voting is not within the spirit of the video campaign and videos may be subject to removal from the video campaign if it is determined that they have participated in any such activities. Notwithstanding anything in these rules, video creators may purchase print or digital advertisements simply stating they are participating in the program to encourage their friends, family and fans to vote.
  12. The count of eligible votes by AudPop shall be deemed final. AudPop reserves the right to eliminate or disregard any and all votes in excess of stated limits or otherwise not in accordance with the rules or any instructions on the site, including any voting instructions.
  13.

These Terms of Service and other referenced material are the entire agreement between you and the company with respect to the service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and the company with respect to the service and govern the future relationship. If any provision of the Terms of Service is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms of Service will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.

Miscellaneous

The company shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where the failure results from any cause beyond the company’s reasonable control, including without limitation mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation. The Terms of Service are personal to you and are not assignable, transferable and cannot be sublicensed by you except with the company’s prior written consent. The company may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without consent. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment relationship is created as a result of the Terms of Service and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Terms of Service, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees. All notices under the Terms of Service will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or email; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next-day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service.
