Last updated: November 10, 2006

Your Acceptance
BY USING AND/OR VISITING THIS WEBSITE (the "Jamglue Website", or "Website"), INCLUDING ALL CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE JAMGLUE.COM DOMAIN NAME, YOU SIGNIFY YOUR ASSENT TO BOTH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (the "Terms of Service") AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF JAMGLUE'S PRIVACY NOTICE, WHICH ARE PUBLISHED AT http://www.jamglue.com/help/privacy_policy, AND WHICH ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. If you do not agree to any of these terms, then please do not use the Jamglue Website.
Jamglue Website
These Terms of Service apply to all users of the Jamglue Website, including users who are also contributors of audio content, information, and other materials or services on the Website. The Jamglue Website may contain links to third party websites that are not owned or controlled by Jamglue. Jamglue has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party websites. In addition, Jamglue will not and cannot censor or edit the content of any third-party site. By using the Website, you expressly relieve Jamglue from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website. Accordingly, we encourage you to be aware when you leave the Jamglue Website and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each other website that you visit.
Website Access
1. Jamglue hereby grants you permission to use the Website as set forth in this Terms of Service, provided that:
  1. you will not copy or distribute any part of the Website in any medium without Jamglue's prior written authorization;
  2. you will not alter or modify any part of the Website other than as may be reasonably necessary to use the Website for its intended purpose;
  3. you will otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service.
2. In order to access some features of the Website, you will have to create an account. You may never use another's account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. You must notify Jamglue immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. Although Jamglue will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account, you may be liable for the losses of Jamglue or others due to such unauthorized use.
3. You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, "robots," "spiders," "offline readers," etc., that accesses the Website in a manner that sends more request messages to the Jamglue servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional on-line web browser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jamglue grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the site for the sole purpose of creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials. Jamglue reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases. You agree not to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the Website, nor to use the communication systems provided by the Website for any commercial solicitation purposes.
Intellectual Property Rights
The content on the Jamglue Website, except all User Submissions (as defined below), including without limitation, the text, software, scripts, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, interactive features and the like ("Content") and the trademarks, service marks and logos contained therein ("Marks"), are owned by or licensed to Jamglue, subject to copyright and other intellectual property rights under United States and foreign laws and international conventions. Content on the Website is provided to you AS IS for your information and personal use only and may not be used, copied, reproduced, distributed, transmitted, broadcast, displayed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any other purposes whatsoever without the prior written consent of the respective owners. Jamglue reserves all rights not expressly granted in and to the Website and the Content. You agree to not engage in the use, copying, or distribution of any of the Content other than expressly permitted herein.
User Submissions
1. The Jamglue Website may now or in the future permit the submission of audio or other content submitted by you and other users ("User Submissions") and the hosting, sharing, and/or publishing of such User Submissions. You understand that whether or not such User Submissions are published, Jamglue does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any submissions.
2. You shall be solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the consequences of posting or publishing them. In connection with User Submissions, you affirm, represent, and/or warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize Jamglue to use all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to any and all User Submissions to enable inclusion and use of the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Website and these Terms of Service.
3. Jamglue does not claim ownership of User Submissions. However, with respect to User Submissions or content you make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service, you grant Jamglue worldwide, royalty-free and non-exclusive license(s) to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such content on the Service in connection with the Jamglue Website and Jamglue's (and its successor's) business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Jamglue Website (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels. This license exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the time you remove or Jamglue removes such Content from the Service.
4. In connection with User Submissions, you further agree that you will not:
  1. submit material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to post the material and to grant Jamglue all of the license rights granted herein; (ii) publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage Jamglue or any third party;
  2. submit material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate;
  3. post advertisements or solicitations of business;
  4. impersonate another person.
  Jamglue does not endorse any User Submission or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and Jamglue expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Submissions. Jamglue does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement of intellectual property rights on its Website, and Jamglue will remove all Content and User Submissions if properly notified that such Content or User Submission infringes on another's intellectual property rights. Jamglue reserves the right to remove Content and User Submissions without prior notice. Jamglue will also terminate a User's access to its Website, if they are determined to be a repeat infringer. A repeat infringer is a User who has been notified of infringing activity more than twice and/or has had a User Submission removed from the Website more than twice. Jamglue also reserves the right to decide whether Content or a User Submission is appropriate and complies with these Terms of Service for violations other than copyright infringement and violations of intellectual property law, such as, but not limited to, pornography, obscene or defamatory material, or excessive length. Jamglue may remove such User Submissions and/or terminate a User's access for uploading such material in violation of these Terms of Service at any time, without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
5. In particular, if you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any User Submission or other content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail):
  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material;
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail;
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
