Obligations. Any and all use of our VP Content is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy. We reserve the right to terminate Your Account if we suspect, in our sole discretion, that your use of the VP Content is in breach of our Acceptable Use Policy. In such circumstances, we shall not be liable to refund you any of subscription fees you have paid to us.

Scope of use of VP Content.

In return for your subscription fees, we grant you a licence, for the duration of the VP Licence term, the non-exclusive worldwide right to use the VP Content as follows:

• Download, reproduce, exhibit, publish, broadcast or communicate to the public the VP Content on digital only platforms (meaning third party social media pages and channels and social messaging services which you have an account with); the amount of pages and/or channels you can use the VP Content on will depend on your chosen Voicy Premium subscription plan;
• Synchronise the VP Content (in whole or in part) with your other content (i.e., as a soundtrack, sample or as a sound effect);
• Cut, loop, fade and/or combine the VP Content in relation with other content produced by you, but you may not otherwise edit, alter, or change the VP Content, including but not limited to altering the fundamental character of the CP Content and/or create any new works based on the VP Content (i.e., re-recording the VP Content).

You will be able to use the VP Content on digital only channels, specifically social media platforms and social messaging services. Such use may be online only. You are not allowed to make any commercial use of the VP Content offline.

When creating Your Account with Voicy Premium, you will be required to share details about which of your social media channels and/or pages you wish to distribute the VP Content. We use fingerprinting technology to identify, track and monitor the use of our VP Content and we reserve the right to take appropriate enforcement action where we suspect (in our sole discretion) that the VP Content is being used outside the scope of the permitted VP Content licence.

Where reasonably practicable, you agree to credit Voicy in connection with the content that you distribute using or otherwise containing VP Content, with the following credit: sounds effects, courtesy of “premium.voicy.nework”. The above credit will, if possible, be displayed as a hyperlink to “premium.voicy.nework”.

Platform limitations and clearing. You acknowledge and agree that various platforms will have their own terms and conditions that apply from time to time in connection with their own platform. We make no representation or warranty in relation to the suitability of the VP Content on such platforms and you acknowledge and agree that your are solely responsible for complying with such terms and conditions, including without limitation clearing any other third party rights that you have or may include in your content. Voicy accepts no liability in connection with your non-compliance with such third party terms and conditions.

Unlicensed and non-cleared use. We reserves the right to fully monetize unlicensed use of the VP Content on YouTube and/or other platforms. Should your content be demonetised by Voicy on the grounds of unlicensed use of VP content, you can contact us and we will discontinue any demonetisation of your content and/or channel (including without limitation withdrawing any copyright strikes) on the provision by you of a valid purchase receipt of the Voicy Premium licence and evidence of the applicable licence terms.

Fees & Payment. In return for payment of the applicable monthly subscription fee for the ‘Creator Subscription Plan’ or ‘Professional Creator Subscription Plan’, you will receive access to the VP Content library and can use such VP Content in accordance with the scope of your licence as set out in these Terms.

Refunds of the subscription fee. You agree that your subscription fees shall not be refundable to you under any circumstances other than as specifically set out in these Terms and/or unless we are in breach of our obligations to you in respect of our Voicy Premium service (as set out in these Terms) and we have not remedied that breach within 28 days of receiving notice from you of our breach.

You can pay for your subscription either on:

• monthly basis. This will be a recurring plan and you will be billed monthly until your plan expires or terminates.
• Yearly basis. This will be a recurring plan and you will be billed every 12 months until your plan expires or terminates.

All payments can be made by debit or credit card or as otherwise expressly allowed on the Platform. By making any payment on our Platform, you represent and warrant either that:

• you are at least 18 years of age; or
• that any payment made on your behalf is done so with the express consent of a parent or guardian. If you are a parent or guardian of someone under the age of 18 who is making payment on our Platform, you agree to these Terms and our privacy policy and that you shall be responsible for the conduct and acts and/or omissions of your children in using our Platform as if these were your own.

We reserve the right at our sole discretion to offer discounted subscription fees and/or any other offers, promotions, competitions, and gift cards from time to time and any such applicable offers shall be advertised on our Platform.

All of your subscription receipts shall be emailed to you at the address you provided on your registration to the Site as proof of purchase.

If we remove all VP Content from our Platform during your period of subscription then your subscription shall be deemed to end on the date at which all such VP Content is removed or at the end of your current subscription period, whichever is the soonest, and you shall not be obliged to make any further payment in respect of your subscription in those circumstances.

Refunding your subscription fee(s). If we suspend or terminate Your Account and/or use of our Platform because:

• you are (or we believe you are) in breach of these Terms; or
• either of us becomes bankrupt, insolvent and/or has a receiver or an administrative receiver appointed over us or over any part of our undertaking or assets or passes a resolution for winding up (otherwise than for the purpose of a bona fide scheme of solvent amalgamation or reconstruction) or a court of competent jurisdiction makes an order to that effect, or becomes subject to an administrative order or enter into any voluntary agreement with our creditors;

you will not receive any refund of your subscription fee (and this is without prejudice to any other rights and remedies we may have in such circumstances whether under these Terms or at law generally);

If any digital content that you have purchased from our Platform and we have provided to you is incorrect or faulty, we will do our best to repair or remedy any affected content. In the case that we cannot, we can provide you with a credit note to Your Account to the same value of your purchase to redeem against other digital content on our Platform as replacement or, in our sole discretion, offer you a pro-rata refund of your subscription fees.

Changing your subscription plans. You can change your subscription plan at any time. For example, if you are on ‘Creator Subscription Plan’ plan, you can upgrade to our ‘Professional Creator Subscription Plan’ to VP Content and access the additional features associated with those plans.

Likewise, you may downgrade your subscription plan in the same way. If you are upgrading your subscription plan, you will be charged the full monthly fee in connection with the applicable subscription at the point of upgrade and you will be granted immediate access to the features applicable to that upgraded subscription plan. Going forward, you will be billed at the upgraded subscription plan fee until you cancel you or change your subscription plan. If, on the other hand, you decide to downgrade your subscription plan, you will lose access to the applicable features of your subscription at the point of downgrade and certain rights to access VP Content or use such licence features going forward will be limited to the applicable subscription plan you have downgraded to.

We do not offer pro-rata refunds in the circumstances of an upgrade or a downgrade of subscription plans because you will have had access to the applicable subscription plan and VP Content and associated licensed rights and features up until the point you have upgraded or downgraded. For this reason, we strongly recommend that if you are considering downgrading your subscription plan, you should do so toward the end of the applicable month’s billing cycle (which will vary depending on when you became a subscriber and the associated billing cycle for that subscription ) so that you can make the most out of your subscription plan during the remainder of the month that you have already paid for. If you have downgraded your subscription plan, you will be billed at the applicable downgraded subscription plan fee until you cancel you or change your subscription plan. If you have any questions regarding upgrading or downgrading your subscription plan, please contact us at info@voicy.network.

Cancelling your subscription. In order to cancel your subscription Voicy Premium, you can do so by accessing Your Account ‘settings’, select the ‘manage subscription' page and select the ‘cancel subscription ’ option. Your subscription will then automatically come to an end and we shall not take any further payment from you from thereon unless you choose to re-subscribe. Upon cancellation, any privileges and/or access to Your Account and VP Content will be immediately revoked and you will no longer be able to use your log-in details to access Your Account after you have cancelled your subscription to Voicy Premium and/or the VP Content library.

Use of VP Content after cancellation. Any use of VP Content during the VP Licence Term shall be permitted provided that you do not further use VP Content. You do not need to take down or otherwise remove any existing content published containing VP Content provided always that it was published during the VP Licence Term. You may not use the VP Content going forward after the termination or expiry of the VP Licence Term in any manner
