Welcome to PodBoxx, a website and mobile application (the “App”) operated by PodBoxx Media Corp (the “Company”). The following Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply when you use the website located at https://podboxx.com (the “Site”) and the App. The term "Site" is often used in these Terms to refer to both the Site and Apps. Please review these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Site or App, you show you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Site or App.
The Site allows you to host, listen to and/or view, and monetize podcasts (the “Service”). The Site allows you to register for the Service. As discussed in our Privacy Policy, when you register for the Service you'll be asked to provide certain information about yourself, such as your name and username and the name of your organization. We collect additional information depending on your role.
You will also be asked to create a password.
Also, please note that the Site is under constant development. New features may be added frequently, so it’s important to check back to this page for updates.
To use a Charged Service, you will be charged a fee. This fee is currently collected via Braintree (our "Billing Service Provider"), which has its own legal terms. You will be required to provide the Company and/or its Billing Service Provider with information regarding your credit card or other payment method. You represent and warrant that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment method. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date). You hereby authorize the Company to bill you in accordance with the terms of your plan until you terminate your account, and you agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges you must notify the Company within thirty (30) days after the date that you are billed. You can terminate your use of the Service after 24 months of continued use of the services you subscribed to, change your password, and otherwise manage your account using the Site and App. This agreement can also be terminated if it is determined that PodBoxx is unable to deliver the services you subscribed to. We have a fixed agreement with you regarding the Company’s fees. If the Company does change its fees, you will not be impacted by these changes. Your continued use of the Service after the fee change secures the prices of our agreement until a new agreement acknowledged and signed by both parties replaces the current one.
A service fee is added on all issued monthly invoices for the entire duration of the agreement. Proceeds from public advertising delivered by our services, domestic advertising managed and delivered by our services and subscription to premium content are all eligible to the service fee.
If you as an individual signed up for a plan using your corporate email domain or in the name of a business entity (“Customer”), that entity is our customer and “you” in these Terms refers to that Customer entity except where otherwise specified. Customer can modify and re-assign roles on your podcasts (including an individual’s role) and otherwise exercise its rights under the Terms. If Customer elects to replace you or another individual as the representative with ultimate authority for the podcasts, we will provide notice to the email you used to sign up for the Service, following such election, and you as an individual agree to take any actions reasonably requested by us or Customer to facilitate the transfer of authority to a new representative of Customer. Individuals authorized by Customer to access the Site (an “Authorized User”) may submit User Content (as defined below) and provide us with instructions on what to do with such User Content. For example, Customer may create or delete a podcast, manage permissions, change settings, add or delete authorized users, or set podcasts to be public or private. Customer will (a) inform Authorized Users of all Customer policies and practices that are relevant to use of the Site and of any settings that may impact the processing of User Content; and (b) ensure the transfer and processing of User Content under the Terms is lawful.
Customer grants Company the right to use Customer’s company/podcast name and logo as a reference for marketing or promotional purposes on Company’s website and in other public or private communications with our existing or potential customers, subject to Customer’s standard trademark usage guidelines as provided to us from time-to-time. We only want to list customers who want to be listed, so Customer may send us an email to contact@podboxx.com if they do not wish to be referenced.
