Terms of Service
Our Service
The Service on our platform allows each user to discover, listen, watch and share songs and music videos and other content, connect with business pals, log in based on mood, artist, and language, create and book events, and be an inspiration to others. To access all our features, you will need to subscribe to be a Producer. To create major organization awards events, signup to be an organization.
We’ve drafted these Terms of Service (which we call the “Terms”) so you’ll know the rules that govern our relationship with you as a user of our Services. There’s a good reason for that: these Terms form a legally binding contract between you and Bananry Inc.
By using Bananry, you agree to the Terms. If so, Bananry grants you a non-assignable, non-exclusive, revocable, and non-sublicensable license to use our services in accordance with these Terms and our policies. If you don’t agree with the Terms, then don’t use our services. These terms apply to you, even if you don’t live in the United States.
Who Can Use our platform
Our services of Bananry are not directed to children under the age of 13, and you must
confirm that you
are 13 years or older to create an account and use our services. If we have actual knowledge
that you are
under the age of 13 (or the minimum age at which a person may use our platform in your
state, province, or
country without parental consent, if greater), we will cease providing services to you and
delete your
account and your data.
By using our platform, you represent, warrant, and agree that:
you can form a binding contract with Bananry;
you are not a person who is barred from using our platform under the laws
of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction — including, for
example, that you do not appear on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of
Specially Designated Nationals or face any other similar prohibition;
you are not a convicted sex offender; and
you will comply with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national,
and international laws, rules, and regulations.
If you are using our platform on behalf of a business or some other entity,
you represent that you are authorized to represent that business or entity to
these Terms and you agree to these Terms on behalf of that business or
entity (and all references to “you” and “your” in these Terms will mean both
you as the end user and that business or entity).
Use of the Service
The content on our platform includes audio, videos, graphics, photos, text, branding (including trade names, trademarks, service marks, or logos), features, and other materials whether provided by you or Bananry. The content is the responsibility of each user or organization that provides it on the platform. Bananry is under no obligation to host any content on its platform. Each user is responsible to report to Bananry any content that may violate the agreements of this platform.
Creating an account will automatically give you permission to access our free content on the platform. You can choose to post, star others, share, like, comment, and mix music. You must either own or have full permission to any content that you upload to Bananry. When you upload an audio, you give permission for your audio to be used on our platform, be mixed by any user for listening purposes (not for commercial use). If you mix songs (that belong to others) on the platform, be reminded that you do not have rights to that audio. To mix another person’s music or copyright content, you agree that you do not own copyright to that mixed audio. To record your own music video on the platform gives you full rights to its content. Bananry does not produce or copyright any audio or music video that is uploaded on its platform.
Permissions and Restrictions
You may access and use the Service as made available to you, as long as you comply with this
Agreement and
applicable law. You may view, watch, or listen to the content on this platform for your
personal, non-commercial use.
You are not allowed to:
- Reproduce, download, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, alter, modify or otherwise use any part of the content on this platform except: (a) as expressly authorized by our platform; or (b) with prior written permission from Bananry and, if applicable, the respective rights holders;
