Terms of Service

Last updated: July 23, 2026

Working draft — adapted from earlier BeatCannon policies and pending legal review. Contact details below are monitored; the substance of this document may change once counsel has signed off.

Agreement to terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you and BeatCannon governing your access to and use of our music promotion platform — the website, listening pages, feedback system, and related services (the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms; if you do not agree, you may not use the Service.

1. Accounts and eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. When registering an account you agree to provide accurate information, keep it current, protect your credentials, notify us of unauthorized access, and accept responsibility for activity under your account. Feature access depends on your account type and subscription plan.

2. Permitted use and restrictions

You may use the Service for lawful music-promotion purposes: creating campaigns, distributing music to industry professionals, collecting feedback and analytics, managing contact lists, and (as a recipient) listening to and evaluating submissions.

You agree not to:

Send spam or abuse our email delivery system.
Upload or distribute music you do not own or have rights to distribute.
Bypass or interfere with security features or access controls.
Use bots, scrapers, or other automation without permission.
Reverse engineer the Service or upload malicious code.
Impersonate others, harvest personal data, or resell the Service.

Email marketing compliance

When using campaign features you must comply with applicable email laws (CAN-SPAM, CASL, GDPR): only email contacts who have consented, use accurate sender information, and never use purchased or scraped lists. BeatCannon adds an unsubscribe link to every email and honors unsubscribe requests automatically. B2B outreach to music-industry professionals is conducted under the legitimate-interests basis; recipients may opt out at any time.

Recipient terms

Music shared with you as a DJ, curator, journalist, or other professional is for evaluation, club play, airplay, playlist consideration, and press coverage. You may not redistribute or resell it, use it for sync, sampling, or remixing without proper licenses, or access it with automated tools. All content remains the property of its rights holders; violation may result in revoked access and legal liability.

3. Intellectual property

You retain ownership of everything you upload. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to store, process, deliver, and display your content to operate the Service (including format conversions, waveforms, and analytics), ending when you delete the content or close your account. You represent that you own or have licensed all rights in your uploads — including compositions, masters, samples, cover songs, and any names or likenesses used — and that nothing you upload is a bootleg, leak, or otherwise unauthorized recording. The Service itself, its design, code, and branding are our property.

Copyright complaints are handled under our DMCA Copyright Policy. BeatCannon is a promotional delivery platform, not a public streaming service or digital music provider under the Music Modernization Act; you are responsible for any licenses your distribution requires.

4. Payments, subscriptions, and refunds

Paid features are billed in U.S. dollars; subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled and fee changes come with 30 days’ notice. Refunds for one-time purchases: 100% (minus processing fees) within 2 business days, 50% within 14 days, none after — and none once a campaign has been sent or downloads have occurred. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. EU consumers may have additional statutory rights.

5. Termination

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access without notice for violations of these Terms, fraud, abuse, or non-payment. After termination your content may be deleted after 90 days (export first), outstanding obligations survive, and data is retained per the schedule in our Privacy Policy and applicable law. Deletion requests: privacy@beatcannon.com.

6. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. We do not guarantee delivery rates, engagement, feedback, or any particular results. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BEATCANNON IS NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, AND OUR TOTAL LIABILITY IS CAPPED AT THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PRECEDING 12 MONTHS OR $100. Third-party services the platform integrates with are governed by their own terms.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold BeatCannon harmless from claims arising from your use of the Service, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another party’s rights.

8. Disputes and governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Before legal action, contact legal@beatcannon.com to attempt informal resolution. Any proceeding must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of Los Angeles County, California, within one year of the claim arising.

9. General

We may modify these Terms with notice of material changes; continued use constitutes acceptance. These Terms plus the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement. Unenforceable provisions are severed; non-enforcement is not waiver; you may not assign these Terms without consent; we are not liable for events beyond our reasonable control.
