You agree not to post, upload or transmit to the Site or to ZoeCast.com’s servers any sound recordings, video recordings, communications, text, graphics or other information (collectively, “Material”) that:

  • is obscene, fraudulent, indecent, discourteous, racially offensive, or abusive;
  • defames, abuses, harasses or threatens others;

  • violates the privacy of individuals, including other users of the Site; or
  • violates any applicable local, state, national, or international law.

 

ZoeCast.com in its sole discretion shall determine your compliance with the foregoing guidelines and reserves the right to delete from the Site without prior notice any material that it deems to be non-complying or otherwise objectionable for any reason.

b. Uploading Sound Recordings.

The uploading of original sound recordings by you to the Site is governed by a License and Release.

c. Transmission of Internet Radio Programs.

You must read and agree to the terms of ZoeCast.com’s Broadcaster Agreement in order to transmit your own Internet radio programs via the Site. To the extent the Terms of Service conflict with the Internet Transmission Agreement with respect to any Internet radio programs transmitted by you via the Site, the Internet Transmission Agreement shall govern with respect to any such Internet radio programs.

d. Bit rate Restrictions on Use.

The maximum bit rate of your Internet radio program may not exceed the bit rate of the Streaming server plan. If you broadcast at a higher rate than the plan allows then your account will be suspended and you will have to pay a reactivation fee before your service will be restored (see below for amount of fee).

Any account that is deactivated by the abuse team will be charged the following reactivation fees:

1st offense – $ 10 .00
2nd offense – $50 .00
3rd offense – $ 75.00 + Account termination

e. Other Restrictions on Use.

You shall comply with all laws and regulations applicable to your use of the Services, the Site, and the Material. ZoeCast.com may take any action with respect to the Material if ZoeCast.com believes, in its sole discretion, that the Material may create liability for itself or any third parties or may cause ZoeCast.com to lose (in whole or in part) the services of its ISPs, vendors or advertisers. You are not permitted to use ZoeCast.com’s name, URL, trademarks or other material in any manner, including, without limitation, in connection with “spam” email messages or newsgroup postings. For the purposes of these Terms of Service, “spam” has the meaning generally understood among Internet users, and includes without limitation “unsolicited electronic mail advertisements”. You may not impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load (as determined by us in light of the load imposed by other users generally) on ZoeCast.com’s infrastructure. You may not use any “bot” or other automated repetitive or iterative mechanism or the like to gain any sort of benefit from ZoeCast.com or any of its business affiliates.

 

5. Links to Third-Party Sites

Any third-party sites to which the Site may link are not under ZoeCast.com’s control, and ZoeCast.com does not assume any responsibility or liability for any information, content, communications or materials available on such third-party sites.
