Terms of Service

 

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY.  YOUR USE OF THE SITE (AS DEFINED BELOW) CONSTITUTES YOUR AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.

 

This Terms of Service Agreement (the "Agreement") is between you ("you") and Lightspeed Audio Labs, Inc. ("Lightspeed," "we," "us"), and governs your use of the Internet world wide web site currently located at http://www.jamnow.com (together with any successor site(s) and all Services (as defined below), the "Site").

 

1.       Acceptance of Terms.  The Site is made available by Lightspeed subject to the terms of this Agreement.  We reserve the right to update or make changes to this Agreement from time to time in our sole discretion, which changes we may provide to you by any reasonable means, including without limitation by posting the revised draft of this Agreement on the Site.  You can determine when this Agreement was last revised by referring to the "LAST UPDATED" legend at the top of this Agreement.  When using any Services (as defined below), you agree that you are subject to any additional posted guidelines, rules, terms and conditions applicable to such Services, which are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

 

We reserve the right, at any time and from time to time, temporarily or permanently, in whole or in part, to: modify or discontinue the Site, with or without notice; charge fees in connection with the use of the Site; modify and/or waive any fees charged in connection with the Site; and/or offer opportunities to some or all users of the Site.  You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Site, in whole or in part, or of any Service, content, feature or product offered through the Site.  Your continued use of the Site after such changes will indicate your acceptance of such changes.

 

Please note that some of the Services available through the Site allow several users at one physical location to use such Services (for example, if you use our virtual recording studios, several users in your physical location can contribute to a work created by using such virtual recording studio).  Please note that any user who uses any of the Services available through the Site must agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement prior to such use.  By utilizing the Services, you represent and warrant that every user in your physical location has read, and agreed to be bound by, the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

 

2.       Description of the Services.  We provide users of the Site with access to specialized content and services that will allow users to (a) create and record music together in virtual recording studios, and download and use Software (as defined below) in connection with the same; (b) create and access user profiles, and use forums, blogs, chat and other social-networking services; and (c) access audio clips, photographs, graphics, images, text, data, user comments, opinions, postings and messages and other similar content (such content and services, collectively, the "Services").  All content and services made available through the Site that were not made available as of the "LAST UPDATED" date above, shall automatically be deemed to be part of the Services when they are first made available through the Site. 

 

Please note that many of the Services involve live – and often unpredictable – interaction between users.  As such, Lightspeed cannot control, and is not responsible or liable for, issues that arise or problems that occur due to the live nature of such interactions.  For example, Lightspeed is not responsible for user misconduct, or for errors that occur in recording music in virtual recording studios.

 

3.       Information Submitted Through the Site.  Your submission of information through the Site is governed by Lightspeed's Privacy Policy, which is located at http://www.jamnow.com/policy (the "Privacy Policy").  This Agreement incorporates by reference the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy, as may be updated by us from time to time.  You represent and warrant that any information you provide in connection with your use of the Site is and shall remain true, accurate, and complete, and that you will maintain and update such information regularly.  You agree that if any information you provide is false, inaccurate, obsolete or incomplete, we may terminate your use of the Site and/or the Services.
