Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using the Platform, you're basically saying, "I've read, understood, and agree to these Terms." This isn't just a pinky swear; it's a legally binding agreement between you and Psychurch. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please refrain from using the Platform and kindly return your sense of adventure at the nearest lost and found.
Modifications to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Changes will become effective immediately upon posting to the Platform. It's your responsibility to review these Terms regularly to ensure you're aware of any changes. Your continued use of the Platform after any changes signifies your acceptance of the revised Terms. It's like staying on the dance floor after the tempo changes – if you're still dancing, you're cool with it.
User Accounts and Conduct
User Accounts
Account Creation
To dive into the Psychurch Music Platform, you can sign up as either a user or a creator. Users get to explore, search, and vibe to music from our catalog. Creators get to upload and sell their cosmic tunes. Just follow the registration steps and provide the necessary deets like a valid email address, username, and password.
Account Security
You're the gatekeeper of your account info, including your password. If someone else starts partying under your account, it's on you. If you suspect any unauthorized access, holler at us immediately at admin@psychurch.org.
Age Requirement
To create an account on Psychurch Music Platform, you need to be at least 18 years old. If you're between 13 and 17, you can still join the fun but only with a parent or guardian's blessing. Sorry, kiddos under 13, no backstage passes for you.
User Conduct
Prohibited Activities
Users of the Platform are prohibited from engaging in the following activities:
- Harassment, abuse, or threats (keep the peace, love, and unity alive)
- Spamming, phishing, or fraudulent activities. Ain't nobody got time for that.
- Uploading or distributing viruses or other harmful software. We're here for beats, not bugs.
- Impersonating another person or entity. Be yourself – everyone else is already taken.
- Posting content that is illegal, obscene, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable. Let's keep it classy.
- Engaging in activities that violate intellectual property rights (respect the artists, man)
Acceptable Use Policy
Use the Platform responsibly and respectfully. You're accountable for your actions and any content you share. Keep it legal and within these Terms' boundaries. By joining Psychurch Music Platform, you're pledging to follow these guidelines for User Accounts and Conduct. Thanks for helping us maintain a positive and respectful community.
Termination of Accounts
Grounds for Termination
Psychurch Music Platform reserves the right to give your account the boot for any of the following reasons:
- Breaking these Terms and Conditions
- Providing false, incomplete, or misleading info during registration
- Unauthorized use of your account or someone else's
- Engaging in no-no activities like harassment, spamming, or fraud
- Uploading or distributing content that violates intellectual property rights
- Being harmful, abusive, or disruptive to the Platform or its users
- Any other actions we deem inappropriate or harmful (we're the vibe police here)
Process for Termination
If we decide your account needs to go, we'll:
- Notification: We'll drop you an email at the address tied to your account, explaining why we've pulled the plug. No cryptic messages here—just straight talk.
- Immediate Action: If you've really hit the jackpot in the bad behavior lottery (like illegal activities or massive harm to the Platform or its users), we might just hit the big red button and terminate your account on the spot. No advance notice, just poof—gone.
- Review and Appeal: Think we've got it all wrong? No worries. Shoot us an email at admin@psychurch.org to plead your case. Include all the juicy details and evidence to support your story. We'll put on our detective hats, review your plea, and respond within a reasonable timeframe (which means when we've had our coffee and cleared our heads).
Consequences of Termination
So, what happens once your account joins the ranks of the dearly departed?
- Bye-Bye Account: You'll lose access to your account, along with any playlists, content, and data you had stashed away. It's like a digital purge—clean slate time.
- Canceled Transactions: Any pending transactions or subscriptions? Consider them history. And no, there won't be any refunds for remaining subscription periods or fees. Tough love, we know.
- Future Ban: Depending on how spectacularly you flamed out, we might also slap a permanent ban on you. No new accounts, no new beginnings. Sorry, not sorry.
By using Psychurch Music Platform, you agree to these guidelines about the Termination of Accounts.
Content and Intellectual Property
Creator Rights
Creators uploading their mind-bending tunes to Psychurch Music Platform can groove to the following copyright options:
Creative Commons License
Creators can choose from a psychedelic spectrum of Creative Commons licenses. These let others use their music under certain cosmic conditions. Options range from "Share the Love" to "Hands Off My Stuff."
- CC BY: Share, distribute, and remix all you want—just give the creator a shout-out.
- CC BY-NC: Non-commercial sharing and remixing, with proper credit. No moolah-making without permission.
- CC BY-ND: Share all you want, but no remixing, and give credit where it's due.
All Rights Reserved
If you're the type who likes to keep all the control, this one's for you. Full ownership and control over your music. Others can't even look at it funny without your say-so.
User Rights
As a user, you've got some responsibilities to keep the peace and respect the groove:
Compliance with Copyright Laws
Don't be a digital pirate. No downloading, reproducing, or using music without proper authorization. Keep it legit and respect the creators' work.
Following Licensing Terms
Stick to the licensing terms laid down by the creators. Whether it's a free-for-all or a hands-off policy, follow the rules and keep the harmony.
Licensing Terms

Non-Exclusive License
You get a non-exclusive pass to use the content as specified. Remember, you're not the only one grooving to this beat—others can license it too.
Permitted Use
The license spells out what you can do—personal listening, sharing, and sometimes even commercial use. Just read the fine print.
Prohibited Use
Don't step out of line. Redistribution, commercial exploitation (unless licensed), and creating derivative works without permission are all big no-nos.
Usage Restrictions
Licensed content comes with strings attached. Here's what you can't do:

- No Commercial Use Without License: Want to use the content to make some cash? Make sure the license explicitly allows it. Otherwise, it's a no-go.
- Respect for Original Work: Don't mess with the magic. No modifying, adapting, or creating derivatives unless the license says you can. If you do tweak it, keep the integrity of the original work intact.
User-Generated Content
When you're the one creating and uploading, here's the lowdown:
- Ownership: Your content is your kingdom. You keep all the rights and control over your creations.
- License to Psychurch: By uploading your masterpieces, you give Psychurch a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, distribute, and display your content. This helps us showcase your stuff to the world and use it for promotion.
- Responsibility: You need to make sure your content doesn't step on anyone else's toes. No uploading copyrighted material without permission. Keep it clean—no defamatory, obscene, or illegal stuff.
- Removal: We have the right to pull down any content that breaks the rules or doesn't vibe with our standards. If your content gets the boot, we'll let you know why.
