Terms of Service

Please NOTE these Terms have been superseded by the updated terms of service covering our new streaming plans. These Terms only apply to stations who have signed up to one of our legacy non-streaming plans.

These Radio Cult Limited (“Radio Cult”) Terms of Service for transmitting entities (“Terms”) set forth the terms applicable to you broadcasting or distributing your audio content (“Feed”) through the Radio Cult application (available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store) and your usage of the Radio Cult Station Web Services (collectively, “Service”). Certain features of the Service are provided free of charge (“Free Service”), whilst other features of the Service are only available in exchange for a paid subscription. Any transmitting entity who pays for a subscription is a “Subscriber”.

By checking the applicable box provided on the sign up webpage of the Station Web Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a separate legal entity, then you represent that you have the authority to bind that separate legal entity, that such legal entity will be bound by these Terms and all references to “you” in these Terms will apply to the separate legal entity. This preamble is incorporated into and made part of these Terms.

Arbitration Notice

You agree that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND RADIO CULT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Scope of Agreement

These Terms govern your use of the Service to make available the transmissions and distributions of your feed (“Feed”), and any sound recordings and musical works or other content embodied therein (collectively, “Feed Content”), to Radio Cult’s App users (“End Users”). By entering into these Terms, you hereby agree that your Feed may be included in the App.

If you are a Subscriber, then you acknowledge and agree that the additional terms in Section 9 below apply to your Subscriptions, and that Radio Cult provides access to Subscriptions in consideration of your payment of the amounts set forth in that Section.

8. Registration

8.1. Log-in Credentials

In order to access the Service you are required to register at least one user account with us (‘User Account”). This User Account must be distinct from the transmitting entity and must represent a legal person. A transmitting entity may have multiple User Accounts associated with it. Such User Accounts may represent, but are not limited to, employees of your transmitting entity.

8.2. Account Security

You are wholly responsible for the security of all User Accounts associated with your transmitting entity and for all activities that occur through the usage of such User Accounts. You agree to notify Radio Cult immediately at services@radiocult.fm if you suspect or know of any unauthorised use of your User Account(s) or any other breach of security with respect to your User Account(s). Radio Cult will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorised use of your User Account(s) prior to you notifying Radio Cult of such unauthorised use or loss.

8.3. Accuracy of Information

When creating any and all User Accounts, you will provide true, accurate, current and complete information as Radio Cult requests. You will update the information about each User Account promptly, and as necessary, to keep it current and accurate. We reserve the right to disallow, cancel, remove or reassign certain usernames and permalinks in appropriate circumstances, as determined by us in our sole discretion, and may, with or without prior notice, suspend or terminate any associated User Account(s) if activities occur on such Account(s) which, in our sole discretion, would or might constitute a violation of these Terms, cause damage to or impair the Service, infringe or violate any third party rights, damage or bring into disrepute the reputation of Radio Cult, or violate any applicable laws or regulations. If messages sent to the email address(es) you provide are returned as undeliverable, then Radio Cult may terminate or suspend your User Account(s) immediately without notice to you and without any liability to you or any third party.

9. Additional Terms for Subscription

9.1. Subscription Process

You may acquire a Subscription through our Service. These acquisition payments will be processed by Stripe. We accept various forms of payment, as specified during the signup process. We do not accept cash or checks.

9.2. Billing Authorisation

By providing your payment method and obtaining a subscription to the Service, you authorise Stripe (or any of their service providers), as applicable, to charge to your designated payment method the applicable monthly or annually recurring subscription fees (“Subscription Fee”), and any applicable sales, telecommunication, excise, value-added or similar taxes (“Taxes”). The Subscription Fee is exclusive of any Taxes. The Subscription Fee is payable in the currency specified during the signup process.

9.3. Subscription Fee Changes

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, we reserve the right to change the Subscription Fee at our sole discretion. If we change the Subscription Fee, then we will provide you notice of the proposed change at least 30 days prior to the change taking effect. The change will be effective from the start of the next renewal of your subscription after the price change has occurred. You accept the new price by continuing to use the Service after the change takes effect. If you do not accept the new price, you can unsubscribe from the Service before the updated price takes effect.

9.4. Automatic Renewal and Recurring Charges

Your subscription will begin on the billing date and continue for the subscription period that you select (“Initial Subscription Period”). The subscription will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription Period unless you cancel your subscription or we cancel it. You will be charged automatically on the billing date and thereafter on the renewal date of your Subscription for your Subscription Fee and Taxes for the next subscription period. You must cancel your Subscription before it renews to avoid being billed for the next periodic Subscription Fee.

9.5. Cancellation

You may cancel your Subscription to the Service at any time. If cancelled, you will have access to your Subscription until the date that would have been your next billing date. Immediately after this date, you will be downgraded to the Free Service.

9.6. Failure to Pay

If you fail to pay the applicable Subscription Fee when due, then you will be immediately downgraded to the Free Service. If such a scenario occurs, Radio Cult is not obligated to maintain your User Account(s). Radio Cult may however maintain your User Account(s) to allow you to pay owing fees and restore your Subscription.
