Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and the law, Podomatic hereby grants You a limited, revocable, non-transferable and non-exclusive license to use the Site and Services. If you choose to register for an account in connection with the Services, you may do so through a user identification reference provided by Podomatic (“User ID”) to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to access and use the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Any use of the Site, Services or Content for any purpose other than as specifically permitted herein or without our prior consent or the prior written consent of our licensors, as applicable, is expressly prohibited.

You also agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your User ID or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.
The content available on the Site and through the Services includes information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, images, graphics, video, messages, branding, interactive features, software, metrics, products, services and other materials (collectively, “Content”). Content may be uploaded, submitted or contributed to the Services by users and Podomatic is a provider of hosting services for such Content. Content is the responsibility of the person or entity providing it to Podomatic. Podomatic is not responsible for the Content and will not be liable to any third party in connection with the Content.
You may choose to create, upload, submit, post or otherwise contribute Content to the Site or through the Services provided that such Content complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You will retain ownership of your rights in your Content. However, we do require You to grant certain rights to us and to other users of the Services and third-party services, as described below.
You hereby grant Podomatic and our affiliates, partners, service providers and each of our and their respective licensees, successors and assigns, a worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free, transferable and non-exclusive license to: a) host, store and use your Content in order to provide You and our users with the Services; b) to use, copy, encode, store, archive, distribute, transmit, modify, translate, dub, sub-title, create teaser content, render into audible or other technical format, combine with other content, remix, publicly display, publicly perform and distribute your Content, in whole or in part, via any means, including, without limitation, the internet or by wireless transmission, in connection with the Services or any third party services to which you have agreed to submit your Content; c) to use, copy, translate, display, publish and transmit your Content for the purpose of developing and operating the Podomatic Site, Services and networks; and d) market, promote and advertise your Content in connection with the Services or any third party services to which you have agreed to submit or contribute your Content. You also grant each other user of the Services, and any user of any third party services to whom your Content is made available, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access your Content on the Site or through the Services or such third-party service.
You hereby represent and warrant that: (i) You have all the rights necessary to grant such licenses, (ii) your Content and the exercise of any license granted to such Content does not and will not violate the rights of any third party or any law, and (iii) your Content complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. We are not responsible for any Content that may be lost or unrecoverable. You are encouraged to archive your Content regularly and frequently.
We take no responsibility for and we do not expressly or implicitly endorse any of your Content. Because you alone are responsible for your Content, you may expose yourself to liability if you use, exploit, share or otherwise distribute your Content without the required rights.
In connection with the Services, we may partner with third parties to give You the ability to make your Content available on their podcast audio platforms (e.g., Pandora, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, Deezer, etc.). By choosing to make your Content available on such third-party platforms, You consent to Podomatic’s disclosure and transfer of your Content and any other information required to be sent to such third-party on your behalf. You also agree to accept and abide by any such third-party’s terms and conditions of use with respect to your Content and information provided, whether or not those terms and conditions of use are presented to You. We are not responsible or liable to You for any use of your Content or any other information by any such third-party.
By choosing to make your Content available on YouTube, You consent to Podomatic’s disclosure and transfer of your Content and any other information required to be sent to YouTube on your behalf. You also agree to accept and abide by the YouTube terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms)
Some of our Services may require You to give us access to or require You to provide login information and password information for accounts or services You may have with third party providers. When You provide this information to us or give us access to these third party accounts, You agree that You have read all terms, conditions, contracts and written agreements governing such access, login information and passwords and that You have all the necessary contractual and legal rights to give us such access, login information and passwords.
Any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback, or other information provided by You to us (“Comments”) are not confidential and You hereby grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to reproduce, display, perform, distribute, publish, modify, edit or otherwise use such Comments as we deem appropriate, for any and all commercial and/or non-commercial purposes, in our sole discretion.
Podomatic is under no obligation to host or serve Content and Podomatic may, but has no obligation to, monitor any Content. The views, messages and opinions expressed in the Content do not necessarily reflect those of Podomatic. We may disclose any information necessary or appropriate to satisfy our legal obligations, protect Podomatic or its users, or operate the Services properly. Podomatic, in its sole discretion, may refuse to post, remove, or require You to remove, any Content, in whole or in part, which is alleged to be offensive, defamatory, pornographic, child pornography, threatening, harassing, obscene, illegal, contain harmful viruses, or advocate or incite violence; that is required to be taken down by law, including the DMCA (as defined below); which infringes a third party’s rights under trademark and/or copyright law; or is in violation of this Agreement.
If You believe that your work has been used or copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and such infringement is occurring on this Site or through the Services, please notify Podomatic. Pursuant to the Online Copyright Information Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)) (“DMCA”), a notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication addressed to our DMCA designated agent (named below), and must include substantially all of the following:
Our designated copyright agent to receive DMCA notices is:
If you fail to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA notice may not be effective.
Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Site or Services is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.
You agree to all of the following:
Podomatic may determine in its sole discretion whether or not an account is in violation of any of these policies. Violation of any of these policies may result in user information tracking with such information being stored to identify the offending user. Offending users may be permanently restricted from holding an account or using the Services. If Podomatic reasonably determines that your account is being used in violation of any of these policies, then your account may be immediately terminated and your data erased. We may also report you to law enforcement officials in the appropriate jurisdictions.
We offer both free and paid accounts. If you choose to use a paid account, You may agree to a one (1) month, six (6) month, twelve (12) month or twenty-four (24) month contract agreement with Podomatic. Some of the features on the Services require payment of fees, as described for each Services on the Site (“Fees”). If You sign up for these features, You must pay all applicable feature Fees. We reserve the right to change our prices and/or bundle certain parts of the Services together for pricing purposes, and may do so at any time. You authorize us to make any reasonably necessary inquiries to validate your account and financial information.
All Fees are in USD and are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and You are responsible for payment thereof. If You purchase any Services that we offer for a Fee, You consent to Podomatic, or our third party service providers, storing your payment card information and You authorize us to charge You (a) any Fees for Services You may purchase, and (b) any applicable taxes in connection with your use of the Services to the payment card You provide, and You will reimburse us for all collection costs and interest for any overdue amounts. If the payment card You provide expires and You do not provide new payment card information or cancel your account, You authorize us to continue billing you and You will remain responsible for any uncollected Fees.
AT THE END OF THE CONTRACT TERM, YOUR CONTRACT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR AN ADDITIONAL CONTRACT TERM UNTIL EXPLICITLY CANCELLED BY YOU, AND YOUR PREFERRED PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE CHARGED ACCORDINGLY. CANCELLATIONS MUST BE ISSUED VIA YOUR PODOMATIC ACCOUNT ONLY. ANY CANCELLATION MUST BE DONE THREE (3) DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE CONTRACT TERM TO ALLOW FOR ADEQUATE PROCESSING TIME. NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN FOR ANY DAYS REMAINING IN YOUR CURRENT BILLING CYCLE.
YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR PROPERLY CANCELING YOUR ACCOUNT. AN EMAIL OR PHONE REQUEST TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT IS NOT CONSIDERED CANCELLATION. YOU CAN CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME BY CLICKING ON THE ACCOUNT LINK IN THE GLOBAL NAVIGATION BAR AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN. THE ACCOUNT SCREEN PROVIDES A SIMPLE NO QUESTIONS ASKED CANCELLATION "GO BASIC" LINK. SUBSCRIBERS USING PAYPAL ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFIRMING CANCELLATION VIA THE PAYPAL SITE. PODOMATIC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CHARGES OCCURRING FROM IMPROPERLY CANCELLED SUBSCRIPTIONS. IF YOU CANCEL THE SERVICES BEFORE THE END OF YOUR CURRENT PAID-UP MONTH, YOUR CANCELLATION WILL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY AND YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED AGAIN. DELETING YOUR PODOMATIC ACCOUNT IS NOT THE SAME AS CANCELING YOUR PAID ACCOUNT.
Only Services and features clearly indicated as "free" or "no charge" are free or without charge. It is not the responsibility of Podomatic to provide free support for You in the use and operation of Podomatic’s Services. All other applications, features, functionality and support provided by Podomatic and its partners are provided for the Fees described for each service and You are liable for such Fees.
If you cancel the Services, your cancellation will take effect immediately. After cancellation or deletion of your account, you will no longer have access to your files, data and information stored in your account and we may retain or delete all information, including your Content, in accordance with our business practices. We accept no liability for such retained or deleted information or Content.
You take full responsibility for all taxes and fees of any nature associated with Services.
THE USER PROVIDING THE CONTENT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY AND APPROPRIATENESS OF ALL DATA AND INFORMATION WITHIN THE CONTENT; INCLUDING SALES TAX CALCULATIONS, PRODUCT PRICING, PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS, SHIPPING CHARGES, CONTACT INFORMATION, EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS, AND ELECTRONIC PAYMENT PROCESSING. PODOMATIC WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR INACCURATE INFORMATION AND ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY SUCH INACCURACIES. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT PODOMATIC MAY NOT MAINTAIN COPIES OF FILES, INFORMATION OR DOCUMENTS THAT ARE SENT BY YOU AND THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP THIS DATA.
The Site and Services may contain links to other web sites owned by third parties ("Third Party Sites").

You may also have the ability through the Site or Services to login to accounts that You have for services provided by third parties (“Third Party Services”) or to link accounts for Third Party Services to your Podomatic account. Podomatic is not responsible for any activity occurring within Third Party Services, even if logged in through or linked to a Podomatic account.
You agree that we shall not be responsible for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of your use of any Third Party Sites and/or Third Party Services, whether or not You were linked to or directed to a Third Party Site or Third Party Service through the Site or Services. You acknowledge that Third Party Sites and Third Party Services may be subject to the applicable third party provider’s terms and conditions, and You are solely responsible for reviewing and complying with any such terms and conditions.

THE HOSTING OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SITE BY PODOMATIC DOES NOT IMPLY AN ENDORSEMENT THEREOF BY PODOMATIC, OR PODOMATIC’S ENDORSEMENT OF THE PROVIDER OF SUCH CONTENT OR SERVICES, OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SITE.
WE ARE NOT LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PERSONAL INJURY, LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR OTHER DATA ON YOUR COMPUTER OR OTHERWISE) ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH USE OF THE SITE, THE SERVICES, OR ANY CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SITE OR SERVICES, WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, MALPRACTICE OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF PODOMATIC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

For as long as we continue to offer the Services, we will provide and seek to update, improve, and expand the Services. As a result, we allow You to access the Services as they may exist and be available on any given day and have no other obligations, except as expressly stated in this Agreement. We may modify, replace, refuse access to, suspend or discontinue the Services, partially or entirely, or change and modify prices for all or part of the Services for You or for all our users in our sole discretion. We will not be liable if, for any reason, all or any part of the Site or Services are unavailable for any period of time.

In the event of any change to this Agreement, we will post a notice on the Site and Services that we have changed this Agreement. If You have a Podomatic account, we may (but are not required to) provide You with notice via the email address that we have on file for You that we have changed this Agreement. You and we both understand that sometimes there are issues with email communication. We are not responsible if any email notice gets caught by your SPAM filter and You do not see it, if You have given us the wrong email address or failed to update your address, or if there are other communications issues that prevent email from reaching You. Therefore, we encourage You to frequently visit this page periodically to monitor any changes. Your continued use of or access to the Site or Services following the posting of any changes to this Agreement constitutes acceptance of those changes.
We may also, in the future, offer new services and/or features through the Site or Services. For the avoidance of doubt, such new features and/or services shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The formation, interpretation and performance of this Agreement and any disputes arising out of it shall be governed by the substantive and procedural laws of the state of California without regard to its rules on conflicts or choice of law and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the United States of America.

You acknowledge and agree that your submission of such information is voluntary on your part. Further, You acknowledge, consent and agree that we may access, preserve, and disclose your registration and any other information you provide if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary in our opinion. Disclosures of user information to third parties are further addressed in the Privacy Policy.
You acknowledge that a violation or attempted violation of any of this Agreement will cause such damage to Podomatic as will be irreparable, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, You agree that Podomatic shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining such violation or attempted violation of these terms and conditions by You, or your affiliates, partners, or agents, as well as to recover from You any and all costs and expenses sustained or incurred by Podomatic in obtaining such an injunction, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees. You agree that no bond or other security shall be required in connection with such injunction.
In no event shall You be entitled to rescission, injunctive or other equitable relief, or to enjoin or restrain the operation of Podomatic, the exploitation of any advertising or other products issued in connection therewith, or the exploitation of the Site, Services or any Content used or displayed through the Site and Services, except as described herein.
