Security

We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure Your Content from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use Your Content for improper purposes. You understand that internet technologies have the inherent potential for disclosure. You acknowledge that you provide Your Content at your own risk.

No Monitoring

You are solely responsible for your interaction with other users of the Services, whether online or offline. You agree that we are not responsible or liable for your conduct. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor or become involved in disputes between you and other users. Exercise common sense and your best judgment when interacting with others, including when you submit or post Content or any personal or other information.

Third Party Links

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, apps, services and resources (collectively “Third-Party Services”) that are not under Boombox’s control. We provide these links only as a convenience and are not responsible for the content, products or services that are available from Third-Party Services. You acknowledge sole responsibility and assume all risk arising from your use of any Third-Party Services.

Violation and Enforcement of These Terms

We reserve the right to refuse access to the Services to anyone for any reason at any time. We reserve the right to force forfeiture of any username or account for any reason. We may, but have no obligation to, remove, edit, block, and/or monitor Content or accounts containing Content that we determine in our sole discretion violates these Terms.

Service Changes, Suspension, and Termination

You may cancel your Boombox account at any time (by emailing us at support@boombox.io or, if available, through the Services), though we will be sorry to see you go. We may change the Services, stop providing the Services or features of the Services to you or to our users generally, or create usage limits for the Services. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to the Services without notice and liability, without cause or for any reason, including if in our sole determination you violate any provision of these Terms. Upon termination, you continue to be bound by these Terms.

5. Splits Management

The Services may allow the assignment or license of rights to Compositions, Masters, or other Content, where you might be the assignor, assignee, licensor, or licensee. Any such assignment or license requires, and is only binding upon, receipt of E-Signatures from, as the case may be, the assignor and assignee or the licensor or licensee. For clarity, even if features of the Services enable you or others to show an allocation of interests in Compositions, Masters, or other Content, such as through a pie chart, no legal rights are affected unless and until the applicable parties agree via E-Signatures.

We rely on instructions from the project owner or project administrator and the information provided to Boombox; we do not make any independent determination of legal rights to any Content.

6. Electronic Signature Consent

You agree that your use of a keypad, mouse or other device to select an item, button, icon or similar act/action, or to otherwise provide Boombox, or in accessing or making any transaction regarding any agreement, acknowledgment, consent terms, disclosures or conditions constitutes your signature (hereafter referred to as “E-Signature”), acceptance and agreement as if actually signed by you in writing. E-Signature includes any other form of digital signature, including through third party platforms like DocuSign. You agree that your E-Signature is the legal equivalent of your manual signature. You also agree that no certification authority or other third party verification is necessary to validate your E-Signature and that the lack of such certification or third party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of your E-Signature or any resulting contract between you and Boombox or any third party.

7.

Fees and Payment Terms

Boombox offers both free and paid Services

For free Services, we reserve the right to withdraw such Services or charge or all of such Services in the future. We will notify you before any Services you are then using begin carrying a fee, and if you wish to continue using such Services, you must pay all applicable fees for such Services.

If you choose to subscribe to a paid Service, you agree to pay the fees (“Fees”) as quoted to you when you purchase that Service. We may calculate taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase. You are responsible for all charges related to using the purchased Service (for example, data charges and currency exchange settlements). You will pay the Fees in the currency Boombox quoted at the time of purchase. Boombox reserves the right to change the eligible currencies at any time, except where not permitted by applicable law.

Boombox reserves the right to change its prices at any time, however, if we have offered a specific duration and Fee for your use of the Service, we agree that the Fee will remain in force for that duration. After the offer period ends, your use of the Service will be charged at the then-current Fee(s). If you don’t agree to these changes, you must stop using the Service and cancel via email to support@boombox.io (with cancellation confirmation from a Boombox representative). If you cancel, your Service ends at the end of your current Service period or payment period, and no refunds for previously paid services will be issued.

If you do not cancel in accordance with these Terms, the subscription for the Service will automatically renew at the then-current price and term length for the next subscription period. We will charge your credit card on file with us on the first day of the renewal of the subscription period.

If you select a paid Service, you must provide us with current, complete, accurate and authorized payment method information (e.g. credit card information). You authorize us to charge your provided payment method for the Services you have selected and for any paid feature(s) that you choose. We may bill: (a) in advance; (b) at the time of purchase; (c) shortly after purchase; or (d) if you have elected a subscription service, on a recurring basis. To the extent Boombox has not received your payment, in order to bring your account up to date, we may bill you simultaneously for both past due and current amounts. If you do not cancel your account, we may automatically renew your Service(s) and charge you for any renewal term. You understand that failure to pay any charges or fees may result in the suspension or cancellation of your Services.

Dispute Resolution

You agree that any dispute between you and Boombox arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or any other Boombox products or services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.
Governing Law: These Terms and the resolution of any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
Informal Dispute Resolution: We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Boombox, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us at support@boombox.io. We’ll try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or Boombox may bring a formal proceeding.

We Both Agree To Arbitrate: You and Boombox agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate: You may decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting us at support@boombox.io within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement. Arbitration Procedures: The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, San Francisco, California, or any other location we agree to.

Arbitration Fees: The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. If you cannot afford or otherwise do not want to pay arbitration filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver of fees, we will consider in good faith any request by you for us to bear the cost of those fees. We will pay any administration fee, arbitration fees and fees and charges of attorneys, experts and witnesses if and to the extent we are required to pay such fees and charges by law or in order to make this arbitration provision enforceable.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Either you or Boombox may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in San Francisco, California or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

No Class Actions: You may only resolve Disputes with Boombox on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed under our agreement.

Judicial Forum for Disputes: In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Boombox agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of San Francisco County, California. Both you and Boombox consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.

Limitation on Claims: Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

17. Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Boombox’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.
