1. INTRODUCTION

SoundBridge, is the provider of the Website that allows users to purchase, donate, finance, rent-to-own, subscribe to, download, view, and/or use music software (collectively, the “Products”) under the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms. SoundBridge’s End User License Agreement covers the licensing of all SoundBridge Products. Please refer to the End User License Agreement for further details.

To use the Website the user must first agree to these Terms of Service. If a user does not accept these terms, that user may not create a user account, use the Website, or any of the Products available on the Website. The user accepts the Terms of Service, including the End User License Agreement, and Privacy Policy found on the Website, by creating a user account, or using, downloading, or installing any Product provided through the Website. The user agrees to comply with the Terms of Service, and any applicable laws, regulations, or policies governing the proper use of the Website.

SoundBridge may modify the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or End User Licensing Agreements by posting new or additional terms to the Website without notice. Such changes and additional terms will be incorporated into the agreement between the user and SoundBridge. If a user does not agree to the additions or modifications, that user must notify SoundBridge, and immediately cease any use of the Website, and uninstall and delete any Products and/or content obtained through the Website from all of the user’s electronic devices, and/or any other methods for which the user has stored the Product(s).
