I. INTRODUCTION AND ELIGIBILITY
Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully before using the PLAYLISTS ON Service. The PLAYLISTS ON Service provides independent artists, recording labels, PR Agencies with a platform for promoting music on Playlistson.com website and reaching a network of music curators who WILL NOT BE PAID to listen to your music. It will be at the music curators sole discretion to include and/or to share your music privately and/or publicly on their social media or in any streaming platform they own playlists. These Terms include PLAYLISTS ON’s Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.
We have included several italicized annotations to help explain or emphasize key sections. These annotations are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
This agreement is a legally binding contract. It may change as our business changes, and you agree you will review it and any updates regularly. Your continued use of the PLAYLISTS ON Service means you accept any changes. Please also note that Sections XII and XVI of these Terms contain, respectively, limitations on PLAYLISTS ON’s liability and mandatory arbitration and waiver provisions that affect your right to bring lawsuits against PLAYLISTS ON in the event of a dispute. Please read these sections carefully.
Binding Agreement. These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and PLAYLISTS ON and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“PLAYLISTS ON”, “we”, “us”). “You”, “user”, and “users” shall mean all visitors to and users of the PLAYLISTS ON Service, including artists, recording labels, PR Agencies who pay for campaigns and curators who listen to music submissions. You accept these Terms each time you access the PLAYLISTS ON Service. If you do not accept these Terms, you must not use the PLAYLISTS ON Service. If you are under 18 years of age, you represent and agree you possess the legal consent of your parent or guardian to access and use the PLAYLISTS ON Service and in any event you represent that you are otherwise able to enter into a valid and binding contract.

By registering for or using the PLAYLISTS ON Service, you acknowledge and agree that you may only use the Service within the European Union.
Revisions to Terms. We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version. You should visit this page periodically to review the most current Terms, because you are bound by them. Your continued use of the PLAYLISTS ON Service after a change to these Terms constitutes your binding acceptance of these Terms.
Posting. The terms “post” and “posting” as used in these Terms shall mean the act of submitting, uploading, publishing, displaying, or similar action on the PLAYLISTS ON Service. For instance, as an artist, you post your music by uploading and/or linking to it when you apply for a campaign on the PLAYLISTS ON Service.
“Personal Information” as used in these Terms, shall have the same meaning as defined in the PLAYLISTS ON Privacy Policy.
No Relationship to Any Streaming Service and Curators Not Paid to Endorse or Promote Music. We are an independent organization that helps link artists, recording labels, PR Agencies with a wider audience of listeners by promoting their playlists on our website and by reaching a network of music curators who may be willing to listen to new music submitted via PLAYLISTS ON. PLAYLISTS ON IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH OR A PART OF ANY STREAMING SERVICE. PAYING FOR A CAMPAIGN DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT A SONG WILL BE ADDED TO ANY PLAYLIST ON ANY STREAMING SERVICE. CURATORS ARE NOT PAID TO LISTEN TO MUSIC SUBMISSIONS; IF THEY LIKE WHAT THEY HEAR, THEY MAY ADD IT TO A PLAYLIST, BUT THAT DECISION IS SOLELY AT THE CURATORS’ DISCRETION.
