Colorcast Terms of Use

Colorcast—TUNED TO YOU!

Let’s get started.

Thank you for using the Colorcast platform, products, services and features we make available to you as part of the platform (collectively, the “Service”).

Our Service

The Service allows you to discover, create, and share audio content (“Casts”), and provides a forum for people to connect, inform, comment, criticize, teach, and ultimately transform the live events’ viewing experience, by acting as a distribution platform for original content creators with original takes.

Your Service Provider

The entity providing the Service is Colorcast, Inc., a company operating under the laws of Delaware, located at 1200 Elm Street #207, Austin, TX 78703 (referred to as “Colorcast”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). References to Colorcast’s “Affiliates” in these terms means the other companies within the Colorcast, Inc. corporate group (now or in the future).

Applicable Terms

Your use of the Service is subject to these terms and Colorcast’s Safety, Copyright, Privacy, and End User License policies, which may be contained in part or in whole herein, may be updated from time to time, and are either now or will be in existence in the future (together, this “Agreement”).

Please read this Agreement carefully and make sure you understand it. If you do not understand the Agreement, or do not accept any part of it, then you may not use the Service.

Who may use the Service?

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service.

Permission by Parent or Guardian

If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian’s permission to use the Service. Please have them read this Agreement with you. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a user under the age of 18, by allowing your child to use the Service, you are subject to the terms of this Agreement and responsible for your child’s activity on the Service.

Businesses

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to act on behalf of that entity, and that such entity accepts this Agreement.

Content on the Service

The content on the Service includes audio (for example live streaming voice and other sounds), graphics, photos, text (such as comments and scripts), branding (including trade names, trademarks, service marks, or logos), interactive features, software, metrics, and other materials whether provided by you, Colorcast or a third-party (collectively, “Content”).

Content is the responsibility of the person or entity that provides it to the Service. Colorcast is under no obligation to host or serve Content. If you see any Content you believe does not comply with this Agreement or any other of Colorcast’s terms, you can and should report it to us at http://3.128.200.135/violation/.

User Generated Content

Colorcast users may post, upload, or otherwise contribute content to the Service (which may include, for example, pictures, text, messages, information, audio streams, descriptions, compilations, and/or other types of content) (“User Generated Content”; equally encompassed in the more general term, “Content”).

You promise that, with respect to any User Generated Content you contribute to Colorcast, (1) you own or have the right to post such Content, and (2) such User Generated Content, or its use by Colorcast as contemplated by this Agreement, does not violate the Agreement or any other rights set forth with any accompanying user guidelines, applicable law, or the intellectual property, publicity, personality, or other rights of others, or imply any affiliation with or endorsement of you or your User Generated Content by Colorcast or any entity or individual without the expressed written consent from Colorcast or such individual or entity.

Colorcast may, but has no obligation to, monitor, review, remove, or edit User Generated Content. In all cases, Colorcast reserves the right to remove or disable access to any User Generated Content for any or no reason, including User Generated Content that, in Colorcast’s sole discretion, violates the Agreement. Colorcast may take these actions without prior notification to you or any third party. Removal or disabling of access to User Generated Content shall be at Colorcast’s sole discretion, and we do not promise to remove or disable access to any specific User Generated Content.

You are solely responsible for all User Generated Content that you post. Colorcast is not responsible for User Generated Content nor does it endorse any opinion contained in any User Generated Content.

YOU AGREE THAT IF ANYONE BRINGS A CLAIM AGAINST COLORCAST RELATED TO USER CONTENT THAT YOU POST, THEN, TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU WILL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD COLORCAST HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND EXPENSES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS) ARISING OUT OF SUCH CLAIM.

Colorcast Accounts

You can use parts of the Service, such as browsing and searching for Content, without having a Colorcast account. However, you do need a Colorcast account to use some features. With a Colorcast account, you may be able to like Casts, follow Casters, stream your own Cast, chat, and more.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your passcode and account, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all unauthorized use of your passcode or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Service. Colorcast will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

Under no circumstances will Colorcast be liable in any way for any content or materials of any third parties (including users), including, but not limited to, for any errors or omissions in any content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any such content. You acknowledge that Colrocast does not pre-screen content, but that Colorcast and its designees will have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or remove any content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, Colrocast and its designees will have the right to remove any content that violates these Terms of Service or is deemed by Colorcast in its sole discretion, to be otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, right of use, or usefulness of such content.

Reservation

Using the Service does not give you ownership of or rights to any aspect of the Service, including user names or any other Content posted by others or Colorcast.

Content Ownership

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, revocable permission to make use of Colorcast, and a limited, non-exclusive, revocable permission to make personal, non-commercial use of the Content on Colorcast–including the content you create (collectively, “Access”). This access shall remain in effect until and unless terminated by you or by Colorcast. You promise and agree that you are using Colorcast and Content on Colorcast for your own personal, non-commercial use, and that you will not redistribute or transfer Colorcast’s Services or Content.

Colorcast software applications and Content are not sold or transferred to you, and Colorcast and its Affiliates, and Licensors, retain ownership of all copies of Colorcast’s software applications and Content even after installation on your personal computer, mobile device, tablet, speakers, and/or other devices.

All Colorcast trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, domain names, and any other features of the Colorcast (“Colorcast Brand Features”) brand are the sole property of Colorcast or its Affiliates and Licensors. This Agreement does not grant you any rights to use any Colorcast Brand Features whether for commercial or non-commercial use.

License to Colorcast

To the extent any rights in the Content or Services are retained by you, you grant Colorcast a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use that Content (including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display and perform it) in connection with the Service and Colorcast’s (and its Affiliates’) business, including for the purpose of promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service. Where applicable and permitted under applicable law, you also agree to waive and not enforce any “moral rights” or equivalent rights, such as your right to be identified as the author of any User Generated Content, including the aforementioned feedback, and your right to object to derogatory treatment of such User Generated Content.

If you provide feedback, ideas, or suggestions to Colorcast in connection with Colorcast’s Services or Content, you acknowledge that such feedback is not confidential and you authorize Colorcast to use that Feedback without restriction and without payment to you. Feedback is properly considered a type of User Generated Content.

You agree that Colorcast may collect and use technical data and related information—including but not limited to technical information about your device, system and application software, and peripherals—that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support, and other services to you (if any) related to the Colorcast. Colorcast may use this information, as long as it is in a form that does not personally identify you, to improve its products or to provide services or technologies to you.

License to Other Users

You also grant each other user of the Service a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access your Content through the Service, and to use that Content, including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display, and perform it, only as enabled by a feature of the Service (such as audio playback or embeds). For clarity, this license does not grant any rights or permissions for a user to make use of your Content independent of the Service.

You may not use or otherwise export or re-export Colorcast or its Services or Content except as authorized by this Agreement and as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which such license was obtained. In particular, but without limitation, the aforementioned may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S.-embargoed countries or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals List or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons List or Entity List. By using Colorcast, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list. You also agree that you will not use Colorcast for any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, the development, design, manufacture, or production of nuclear, missile, or chemical or biological weapons.

Duration of License

The licenses granted by you continue for a commercially reasonable period of time after you remove or delete your Content from the Service. You understand and agree, however, that Colorcast may retain, but not display, distribute, or perform, server copies of your Casts that have been removed or deleted.

Removing Your Content

You may remove your Content from the Service at any time. You must remove your Content if you no longer have the rights required by these terms.

Removal of Content By Colorcast

If we reasonably believe that any Content is in breach of this Agreement or may cause harm to Colorcast, our users, or third parties, we may remove or take down that Content in our discretion. We will notify you with the reason for our action unless we reasonably believe that to do so: (a) would breach the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority or would otherwise risk legal liability for Colorcast or our Affiliates; (b) would compromise an investigation or the integrity or operation of the Service; or (c) would cause harm to any user, other third party, Colorcast or our Affiliates.

DMCA Takedown Policy

Colorcast respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects you to do the same. Per the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), Colorcast will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement on the Site if submitted to Colorcast’s Copyright Agent as described below.

Upon receipt of a notice alleging copyright infringement, Colorcast will take whatever action it deems appropriate within its sole discretion, including removal of the allegedly infringing materials.

If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been violated by Colorcast or by a third party who has uploaded and or streamed Content onto or through Colorcast, please provide the following information to Colorcast’s designated Copyright Agent listed below:

A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on Colorcast, including the alleged violator’s handle(s), the title of the Cast(s) in question, and the audio timestamp when the alleged infringing Content was posted/streamed/communicated;
An address, telephone number, and e-mail address where Colorcast can contact you,
A statement by you that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner or other intellectual property rights owner, by its agent, or by law;
A statement by you under penalty of perjury that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf;
An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest.

Colorcast may request additional information before removing any allegedly infringing material. In the event Colorcast removes the allegedly infringing materials, Colorcast will immediately notify the person responsible for posting such materials that Colorcast removed or disabled access to the materials. Colorcast may also provide the responsible person with your e-mail address so that the person may respond to your allegations.

Colorcast reserves the right to terminate, limit or suspend any user’s access to Colorcast in the event of repeated infringing activity. If you believe that a user of Colorcast is a repeat infringer, please follow the instructions to contact Colorcast’s Copyright Agent. Please include sufficient information to assist Colorcast in determining that the user repeatedly engaged in infringing activity.

Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed or blocked through mistake or misidentification, is liable for any resulting damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner or its licensee, or the service provider.

Colorcast registered a designated agent with the Copyright Office pursuant to 17 U.S.C. 512(c). Colorcast’s designated Copyright Agent is:

Counter-Notice

If you believe your User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the content in your User Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

your physical or electronic signature;
identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Colorcast will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Colorcast has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at Colorcast’s sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. Colorcast may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Service and/or terminate the memberships of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Social Networking Services

You may enable or log in to the Service via various online third party services, such as social media and social networking services like Facebook or Twitter (“Social Networking Services”). By logging in or directly integrating these Social Networking Services into the Service, we make your online experiences richer and more personalized. To take advantage of this feature and capabilities, we may ask you to authenticate, register for or log into Social Networking Services on the websites of their respective providers. As part of such integration, the Social Networking Services will provide us with access to certain information that you have provided to such Social Networking Services, and we will use, store and disclose such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. However, please remember that the manner in which Social Networking Services use, store and disclose your information is governed solely by the policies of such third parties, and Colorcast shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any third party site or service that may be enabled within the Service.

In addition, Colorcast is not responsible for the accuracy, availability or reliability of any information, content, goods, data, opinions, advice or statements made available in connection with Social Networking Services. As such, Colorcast is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such Social Networking Services. Colorcast enables these features merely as a convenience and the integration or inclusion of such features does not imply an endorsement or recommendation.

Changes to the Service

Colorcast is constantly changing and improving the Service. We may also need to alter or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, in order to make performance or security improvements, change functionality and features, make changes to comply with law, or prevent illegal activities on or abuse of our systems. These changes may affect all users, some users, or even an individual user. Whenever reasonably possible, we will provide notice when we discontinue or make material changes to our Service that will have an adverse impact on the use of our Service. However, you understand and agree that there will be times when we make such changes without notice, such as where we feel we need to take action to improve the security and operability of our Service, prevent abuse, or comply with legal requirements.

About this Agreement

Modifying this Agreement

We may modify this Agreement, for example, to reflect changes to our Service or for legal, regulatory, or security reasons. Colorcast will attempt to provide reasonable advance notice of any material modifications to this Agreement and the opportunity to review them, except that modifications addressing newly available features of the Service or modifications made for legal reasons may be effective immediately without notice. Modifications to this Agreement will only apply going forward. If you do not agree to the modified terms, you should remove any Content and discontinue your use of the Service.

Continuation of this Agreement

If your use of the Service ends, the terms of this Agreement (these “Terms of Service”) will continue to apply to you.

Severance

If it turns out that a particular term of this Agreement is not enforceable for any reason, this will not affect any other terms.

No Waiver

If you fail to comply with this Agreement and we do not take immediate action, this does not mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as the right to take action in the future). Colorcast does not waive any term of or right arising out of his Agreement by non-enforcement.

Interpretation

In these terms, “include” or “including” means “including but not limited to,” and any examples we give are for illustrative purposes. The inclusion of “include”, “including”, or “including but not limited to” in any one provision has no bearing on the interpretation of omission from any other provision. The provisions in this Agreement should not be construed as against the drafter. The provisions of this Agreement should not be limited or expanded in their interpretation based upon the section headings under which they are presented. Still, the inclusion of a specific term in one part of the terms, but its absence from another part of these terms, should not be interpreted as purposefully omitted from the latter.

Choice of Law, Mandatory Arbitration, and Venue

Governing Law/Jurisdiction: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS

This Agreement (and any non-contractual disputes/claims arising out of or in connection with them) are subject to the laws of the state of Texas, United States of America, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles. Further, you and Colorcast agree to the jurisdiction of the Northern District of Texas to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that relates to or arises in connection with this Agreement (and any non-contractual disputes/claims relating to or arising in connection with them) that is not subject to mandatory arbitration as detailed below.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS

This Arbitration Agreement applies only to users in the United States.

You and Colorcast agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Colorcast arising in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement or to your relationship with Colorcast as a user of the Service (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of this Agreement) will be determined by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration. You and Colorcast further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award any relief, including declaratory or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of this Agreement.

Exceptions

Notwithstanding the clause above, you and Colorcast both agree that nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to (1) bring an individual action in a U.S. small claims court or (2) bring an individual action seeking only temporary or preliminary individualized injunctive relief in a court of law, pending a final ruling from the arbitrator. In addition, this Arbitration Agreement doesn’t stop you or us from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf (or vice versa).

No Class Or Representative Proceedings: Class Action Waiver

YOU AND COLORCAST AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

Unless both you and Colorcast agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

Arbitration Rules

Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. Any arbitration between you and Colorcast will take place under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in force (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You and Colorcast agree that the Federal Arbitration Act applies and governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision (despite the choice of law provision above).

The AAA Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Colorcast can also help put you in touch with the AAA. Any arbitration hearings will take place in Austin County, Texas, provided that if the claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in Austin County, Texas.

Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

Notice and Process

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail, Federal Express, UPS, or Express Mail (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Colorcast’s address for Notice is: Colorcast Inc., 1200 Elm Street #207, Austin, TX 78703. The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Colorcast may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Colorcast shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Colorcast’s last written settlement offer, then Colorcast will instead pay you either the amount of the award or $1,000, whichever is greater. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator’s decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.

Enforceability

If this Arbitration Agreement is invalidated in whole or in part, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in “Governing Law/Jurisdiction” subsection shall govern any claim in court arising out of or related to this Agreement.

Notice to California Residents-Privacy

We are providing this supplemental privacy notice to Consumers in California, pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).

We do not sell personal information.

The CCPA grants California residents the following rights:

Information. Our Privacy Policy describes how we use and share your personal information through the App, including during the past 12 months. The Policy describes:
The sources through which we collect California residents’ personal information and the types of personal information collected in the “Personal Information We May Collect” section above.

Access. You can request a copy of the personal information that we maintain about you.
Deletion. You can ask to delete the personal information that we maintain about you.

The CCPA limits these rights. For example, companies may not provide users in response to access requests certain sensitive information and other consumers’ personal information, and may exclude information that would compromise the confidentiality of trade secrets. The CCPA also places limits on when companies must comply with a deletion request.

In accordance with the CCPA, Colorcast will not provide the following information in response to access requests for the reasons described:

Account data such as account passwords and identity verification codes, unmasked phone numbers, or email addresses, because of the sensitive nature of this information.
Other users’ and employees’ personal information, including the names and account information of individuals who may have invited you to the App, other users’ feedback, and employees’ comments because it is information that belongs to another natural person and disclosing it may impact their rights.
Internal proprietary attributes that enable us to provide various aspects of our App, including channel and room customization, suspension decisions, and content suggestions, because it is protected by federal and state trade secret law.
Server logs that are older than 30 days because we use these to ensure the security and integrity of our App.

You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination.

Here is how you can submit requests:

To request access to or deletion of personal information collected, please email us at [email protected].
To verify your identity prior to responding to your requests, we may ask you to provide us with your phone number so we can send you a verification code, or with other details that we may need to verify your identity.
