The terms and conditions below (the "Terms of Service") govern your access to and use of Audiogalaxy's websites, mobile applications, products, and services (collectively, the "Site"), excluding any services provided to you by Audiogalaxy under a separate written agreement. The Terms of Service constitute a legal agreement between you and Audiogalaxy. You agree to the Terms of Service by accessing or using the Site. Do not access or use the Site if you are unwilling or unable to be bound by the Terms of Service.
You represent and warrant that you (a) have not previously been suspended by Audiogalaxy or removed from the Site; (b) are not a direct competitor of Audiogalaxy; (c) do not have more than one Audiogalaxy account at any given time; and (d) that you have full power and authority to enter into these Terms of Service and in doing so will not violate any other agreement to which you are a party.
We may translate these Terms of Service into other languages for your convenience. Nevertheless, the English version governs your relationship with Audiogalaxy, and any inconsistencies among the different versions will be resolved in favor of the English version.
We may modify the Terms of Service from time to time. When changes are made, we will notify you by making the revised version available on this webpage and will indicate at the top of this page the date that revisions were last made. You should revisit these Terms of Service on a regular basis as revised versions will be binding on you. Any such modification will be effective upon our posting of new Terms of Service. You understand and agree that your continued access to or use of the Site after any posted modification to the Terms of Service indicates your acceptance of the modification.
Claims of Copyright Infringement. Audiogalaxy respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Audiogalaxy infringe your copyright (for example, materials stored by Audiogalaxy for a subscriber or on one of our Forums), you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Audiogalaxy to locate the material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has 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; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed by Audiogalaxy against you, the DMCA permits you to send Audiogalaxy a counter- notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to
