Introduction
By accessing or using the Service (including placing Orders), you expressly agree to comply with this GTC and our Supplementary Terms. By “Supplementary Terms” we mean Soundtrack Your Brand Privacy Policy and Technical Guidelines, all as updated from time to time and set out in the legal section on our website (currently available at www.soundtrackyourbrand.com/legal). All of the Supplementary Terms, as well as any additional terms and conditions that we provide to you in connection with your use of or access to the Service or our other products and services, together with this GTC, form a legally binding agreement between you and us (the “Agreement”).

Fees and Payment Terms
Authorized Payment Methods
When you purchase Products, payment and invoicing of the applicable fees will be made as set out online when placing an Order or as separately agreed in any Master Agreement, which also contains the acceptable forms of payment (each, an “Authorized Payment Method”), subject to certain restrictions, including territory restrictions, bank/payment card restrictions, spending limits, third party service provider restrictions or otherwise, which may prevent the processing of your Order. In the event you have purchased our Service or Products via one of our Partners the Fees and Payment terms and the aforementioned details will be set out in your agreement with such Partner.
Terms of Order
Except as otherwise specified herein, in any Master Agreement or online when placing the Order, (i) fees are based on Products purchased per the Order, and not on your use of the Product or Service, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) once Ordered, quantities or units or time of Products cannot be decreased during the relevant Product Period.
Invoicing
Where credit card is used as payment method, you accept that we may debit your credit card automatically when issuing an invoice. Where another payment method is used, we will add a reasonable administrative fee as set out in the Order.
If you have purchased multiple Products, we may invoice these collectively. Furthermore, we reserve the right to invoice all of your locations collectively. All prices are exclusive of VAT and other applicable Taxes. We reserve the right to verify your financial status and creditworthiness with a reputable credit rating agency of our choice.
Billing Period
When placing an Order of a subscription Product you can select your preferred Billing Period, which means the period for which you agree to prepay fees for your ordered subscription Product (“Billing Period”). If you are on a Billing Period of more than one month (e.g. yearly or quarterly) your first purchase will cover the entire Billing Period. Any additional purchase of Products during the Billing Period will only be charged for the remaining period of the current Billing Period.
If you have purchased multiple Products, we reserve the right to align the subscription dates of your Products at any time so that all of your Products are charged on the same billing date. Such alignment may require an extension of the subscription date of one or more of your Products, in which case you will be charged separately for the extended Product Period(s).
Where credit card or invoice is used as payment method, you can see your billing information on our website under “Account Settings” and “Billing”.
Upgrade and downgrade
Where credit card is used as payment method, you can change the current Product on your account at any time by upgrading or downgrading. Changing the Product on your account will affect all subscription Products on your account.
A Product upgrade takes effect immediately so that you can enjoy all of the added features. When you upgrade to a Product with a higher price, you will be charged with the applicable higher fees as set out online for the remainder of your Billing Period. Starting with your next Billing Period you will be charged with the applicable higher price for the full Billing Period.
A Product downgrade with a lower price takes effect on your next billing date. You can continue to use the features of your current Product until the end of your current Billing Period.
Currency
We state the prices of our Products in certain currencies and the currency used varies throughout the Territory. Where credit card payment is used you will be informed of the currency you will be charged in. Where invoice is offered and used as payment method, you are given the opportunity to choose between certain invoice currencies. Where the invoice currency deviates from the currency of the Product ordered, we retain the right to determine applicable exchange rate at the time of invoicing. We use an industry standard way of determining exchange rates, such as www.openexchangerates.org or www.xignite.com.
Free Trial
You may only register for a free trial once per Customer. If you register for a free trial, we may make one or more Products available to you on a trial basis free of charge until the earlier of (a) the end of the free trial period for which you registered to use the applicable Product, (b) the start date of any Product purchased, or (c) termination by us in our sole discretion. Additional terms and conditions relating to the free trial will appear on the trial registration page or will be otherwise provided as part of the free trial. Any such additional terms and conditions are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and are legally binding.
Finalization of Orders and Declined Payments
If a transaction has been declined online due to payment card issues, please ensure all data is correct and resubmit. If the transaction is not accepted online, you will be unable to use that card for your transaction and should use another Authorized Payment Method. Upon placing a new Order, we may reserve an amount corresponding to the amount of the Order. All Orders are final once you click the “Activate” or similar button/link and billing to your payment card occurs at such time or shortly thereafter. You agree to promptly pay all amounts due upon demand by us. We reserve the right to change any and all prices for any Products at any time, for any reason. In the event that you choose a payment method other than an Authorized Payment Method, we may in our discretion add a reasonable administrative fee.
Third Party Payment Processing
You acknowledge and agree that we may utilize third party operational service providers to process your payments and all payments made through these third party operational service providers are subject to their respective terms and conditions of use, and in the event of a conflict between such third party’s terms and conditions and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the third party service provider shall govern and control. We are not responsible and have no liability whatsoever for the services you obtain through our third party operational service providers or other web sites or web pages.
Taxes, Duties and Charges
All payments made by you to us under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any governmental authority, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being hereinafter called “Taxes”). You shall pay and indemnify SYB from all Taxes and if any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to us hereunder, the amounts payable to us shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that SYB receives (after payment of all Taxes) the amounts specified in this Agreement. Whenever any Taxes are payable by you, as promptly as possible thereafter, you shall send to us (i) a certified copy of a payment order issued by the bank and received by you showing payment thereof, and (ii) a detailed statement explaining the calculation of the Taxes and the statute or regulations pursuant to which such Taxes were paid. If you fail to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or if you fail to remit to SYB the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, you shall indemnify SYB for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure.
If, subject to applicable legislation and/or double taxation treaty, Taxes may be reclaimed by SYB, SYB shall, subject to receiving any and all requested information, certificates and assistance, use reasonable efforts to reclaim or eliminate such Taxes and remit any such successfully reclaimed Taxes to you. We are solely responsible for taxes assessable against us based on our income, property and employees.
You will promptly reimburse us for any and all other taxes, assessment, permits and fees that we may be required to pay in connection with the Agreement or its performance. You acknowledge that contemporaneous documentation (e.g., exemption certificate, etc.) are critical to insure that appropriate tax treatment is afforded and agrees to provide us with the required documentation in a timely manner.
Late Payments
All amounts owed that are not paid when due will be subject to a finance charge of eight percent (8%) per year, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, in addition to any costs, fees or expenses incurred by us in connection with our payment reminders and collection activities.
Change of Fees
We reserve the right to increase our fees in our sole discretion during the term of this Agreement. We agree to make reasonable efforts to notify you in advance of any increase that applies to your use of the Service or Products.

Hardware
Hardware
The following terms apply in the event you place an Order for Hardware Products. By “Hardware Products” we mean tangible products or parts thereof that we agree to deliver to you pursuant to an Order, excluding any software that may be contained therein. An example of Hardware Products is our proprietary streaming player.
Terms of Delivery
We or, in the event you have placed an Order via one of our Partners, our Partner will deliver the Hardware Products DAP (Incoterms 2010), to your premises or your designated place of delivery. Risk of loss and title to Hardware Products pass to you when delivered at your premises or designated address (the “Delivery Date”). You shall be the importer of record and shall pay all costs related to the import of goods, for example customs charges and import taxes (e.g. import VAT). You are solely responsible for import declaration and for legal compliance in relation with any import of Hardware Products.
Notwithstanding the above, we may, in the event you have placed an Order with us and you have your premises or designated place of delivery outside of the EU, deliver the Hardware Products DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). If a Hardware Product is to be delivered DDP you will be informed about that upon placing the Order. When a Hardware Product is delivered DDP the Delivery Date will be considered the date when the Hardware Product is ready for unloading at your named place of destination. Hence the risk of loss and title to the Hardware Products will pass to you at that point.
Warranty
Immediately upon receipt of the Products, you shall inspect the Hardware Products and notify us or, if you have purchased the Products via one of our Partner, our Partner, of any deficiencies. SYB warrants that, on the date of delivery through the duration of the Warranty Period (as defined below), the Products will (i) function properly under normal use; (ii) be free from defects in materials or workmanship (“Warranty”).
