Legal notices

These Terms of Service, as well as our Copyright Policy and all other operating rules, policies and guidelines set out on the IRap 365 websites or other IRap 365-operated webpages, or otherwise notified to you (“Policies”), each of which is incorporated by reference (collectively the “Terms”), govern your access to and use of the IRap 365 websites, Monetization Services, IRap 365 Content (defined below), APIs, email notifications, applications, buttons, widgets, ads and other services (collectively, the “Services”) provided by IRate Media & Holding (“IRate Media & Holding”, “we”, “us”, or “our” means: (a) if you are an entity organized under or otherwise subject to the laws of the United States of America: IRate Media & Holding USA Inc.By clicking “Sign up” or by using our Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use our Services.

Explainer: Your agreement is with IRate Media & Holding LLC. The service is still called IRAP365.com.

THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT, AS FURTHER SET FORTH IN SECTION 14 BELOW, REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR ANY OTHER COURT PROCEEDINGS, OR CLASS ACTIONS OF ANY KIND.

To assist you with your review of the agreement, we provide at the end of most sections of these Terms a short, very high-level “Explainer” of some of the key concepts from that section. These Explainers are included for reference purposes only, do not necessarily explain all key points in the Terms, do not constitute contractual terms and are not a substitute for reading the actual contractual terms; the Explainers will not affect the meaning or interpretation of these Terms, and, in all cases, the substantive language of these Terms (and not any Explainer) will govern and take priority over any summary.

We reserve the right to modify or otherwise change these Terms at any time by posting the updated Terms to our website(s) or through a notice provided through the Services, via e-mail or by another appropriate means of electronic communication. Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the revised Agreement incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified you of such changes. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the updated Terms will be effective immediately, and your continued access to or use of our Services after we post the updated Terms or provide other notice of such updated Terms will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop accessing and using our Services.

We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, or suspend the Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice. We may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability.

User Content
You retain ownership of your User Content. Using IRap 365 does not cause you to lose ownership of your content.
Explainer: You own your content. IRap 365 prides itself on empowering creators, and we have no intention to take ownership of your content in any way.
In order to host and assist you in monetizing your User Content, we do need to obtain certain non-exclusive rights from you. By submitting User Content, including any Provided Content (defined below), through the Services, you hereby grant to us a non-exclusive license to use, edit, modify, create derivative works from (such as transcriptions of User Content), aggregate, reproduce, distribute, make available, transmit, display, and perform, the User Content in connection with the operation of the Services, the promotion, advertising or marketing of the Services, and the operation of IRate Media & Holding’s (and its successors’ and affiliates’) business. This license is worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) and transferable.
Explainer: In order to use IRap 365, you are giving us permission to use, host, and distribute the content you create. For example, this license allows us to syndicate your content to other platforms, so that your audience can hear your podcast anywhere they choose. We believe strongly in creators’ rights, and in no way does this license take away the ownership rights you have in your content.
You agree that this license includes, without limitation, the right for IRate Media & Holding to provide, promote, and improve the Services. We may also use this license to make User Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals who partner with IRate Media & Holding for the syndication, broadcast, distribution, transmission or publication of such User Content on other media and services.
Explainer: One of the best parts of IRap 365 is the ability to create in one place and optionally let us handle the hassle of distributing your podcast everywhere. This language allows us to distribute your content on your behalf, so that you can focus on creating and leave the technical headache of podcast distribution to us. You are also welcome to distribute your podcast to other platforms manually if you prefer.
For the avoidance of doubt, such license includes any and all rights in or to the User Content, including, without limitation, copyright, rights of privacy or rights of publicity. Where applicable and permitted under applicable law, you also agree to waive and not enforce any “moral rights” or rights, such as your right to be identified as the author of your User Content, including Feedback, and your right to object to derogatory treatment of such User Content. If such moral rights are not waivable, then you at least agree not to sue us for failure to identify you as the author of any User Content or for any use of your User Content on or in connection with the Service.
You represent and warrant that you have all rights to grant such licenses to us without infringement or violation of any third party rights, including without limitation, any privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademarks, contract rights, or any other intellectual property or proprietary rights. You also agree that, if you create your User Content with one or more collaborators, you will ensure that each such collaborator either (a) has an Account and has agreed to these Terms or (b) has granted to you all of the rights that you need in order for you to grant the licenses that you grant to us herein in such User Content.
Explainer: By using IRap 365, you are representing that your User Content does not infringe anyone else’s rights, and you are granting us the rights we need to provide the Services, including to share your User Content on IRap 365 and other distribution platforms.
Provided Content
The Services may include features that allow other users and/or listeners to create User Content that is provided to you for use in connection with your User Content, such as through the “Voice Messages” and “Record with Friends” features (“Provided Content”). If your User Content makes use of or includes any Provided Content, or any other content created by any third party, you represent and warrant that you have all rights and permissions necessary to grant the licenses granted in Section 5(a) above.
If you create, contribute content for, produce, record, participate in, contribute to, share or otherwise assist in creating any Provided Content for use by another user’s Account, you grant to such user a non-exclusive license to use, edit, modify, create derivative works from (including transcriptions of Provided Content), aggregate, reproduce, distribute, make available, transmit, display, and perform the Provided Content in connection with the operation of the Services, promotion, advertising or marketing of the Services, and the operation of IRate Media & Holding’s (and its successors’ and affiliates’) business. This license is worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple tiers) and transferable. You acknowledge and understand that any sharing of Provided Content with one or more other users is voluntary, and the recipient of any Provided Content has no obligation to incorporate or otherwise use such Provided Content in their User Content. You also agree that, if another user decides to use your Provided Content in connection with such user’s User Content, this does not result in you acquiring an ownership interest in such User Content.
Explainer: If you provide any content for use in connection with another person’s User Content, you give them the right to use that content. If you receive any content from another person and incorporate that into your User Content, you must ensure you have all necessary permissions to use it.

Explainer: We have no intention of this ever happening, but if we do something that somehow causes you to suffer a financial loss, you agree to a limit on how much we are required to reimburse you.

13. ARBITRATION

Dispute resolution and arbitration
You and IRate Media & Holding agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and IRate Media & Holding arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Terms or to your relationship with IRate Media & Holding as a user of the Service (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms) will be determined by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration. You and IRate Media & Holding further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award any relief, including declaratory or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms.
Exceptions
Notwithstanding the clause above Section 14(a), you and IRate Media & Holding both agree that nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to (1) bring an individual action in a U.S. small claims court or (2) bring an individual action seeking only temporary or preliminary individualized injunctive relief in a court of law, pending a final ruling from the arbitrator. In addition, this Arbitration Agreement doesn’t stop you or us from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf (or vice versa).
No Class or Representative Proceedings: Class Action Waiver
YOU AND IRate Media & Holding AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and IRate Media & Holding agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
Arbitration rules
Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. Any arbitration between you and IRate Media & Holding will take place under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in force (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You and IRate Media & Holding agree that the Federal Arbitration Act applies and governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision (despite the choice of law provision above). The AAA Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. IRate Media & Holding can also help put you in touch with the AAA. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address, provided that if the claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If you choose to file an arbitration proceeding and you are required to pay a filing fee, IRate Media & Holding will reimburse you for that filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US $10,000, in which case you will be responsible for the filing fee. IRate Media & Holding will pay any other arbitration fees, including your share of arbitrator compensation, unless otherwise required by AAA rules or court order. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
Notice; Process
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail, Federal Express, UPS, or Express Mail (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). IRate Media & Holding’s address for Notice is: IRate Media & Holding USA Inc. Attn: General Counsel, 4 World Trade Center, 150 Greenwich Street, 62nd Floor, New York, New York 10007, USA. The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or IRate Media & Holding may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or IRate Media & Holding shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of IRate Media & Holding’s last written settlement offer, then IRate Media & Holding will instead pay you either the amount of the award or $1,000, whichever is greater. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator’s decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.
Enforceability
If this Arbitration Agreement is invalidated in whole or in part, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 15 shall govern any claim in court arising out of or related to these Terms.

Explainer: If you and IRap 365 ever have a disagreement (and we hope that never happens!), instead of facing the lengthy and expensive process of going to court, we agree to use the alternative dispute resolution process described here.

14. MISCELLANEOUS

Governing Law and Jurisdiction.
These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States (including federal arbitration law) and the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles. You agree that any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms or otherwise not subject to arbitration will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Southern District of New York.
New Jersey Consumers
If you are a consumer residing in New Jersey, the following provisions of these Terms do not apply to you (and do not limit any rights that you may have) to the extent that they are unenforceable under New Jersey law: (i) the disclaimer of liability for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages of any kind (for example, to the extent unenforceable under the New Jersey Punitive Damages Act, New Jersey Products Liability Act, New Jersey Uniform Commercial Code and New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act); (ii) the limitations of liability for lost profits or loss or misuse of any data (for example, to the extent unenforceable under the New Jersey Identity Theft Protection Act and New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act); (iii) application of the limitations of liability to the recovery of damages that arise under contract and tort, including negligence, strict liability or any other theory (for example, to the extent such damages are recoverable by a consumer under New Jersey law, including the New Jersey Products Liability Act); (iv) the requirement that you indemnify IRate Media & Holding and the Indemnified Parties (for example, to the extent the scope of such indemnity is prohibited under New Jersey law); (v) the limitation on your time for filing a claim against IRate Media & Holding hereunder, to the extent that such limitation in connection with a claim is shorter than the applicable limitation under New Jersey law; and (vi) the New York governing law provision (for example, to the extent that your rights as a consumer residing in New Jersey are required to be governed by New Jersey law).
Entire Agreement and Severability.
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and us with respect to the Services. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder
Force Majeure.
We will not be liable for any failure to perform our obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation.
Assignment.
These Terms are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or delegate any of our rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without your consent and without notice to you.
Agency.
No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of these Terms and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect.

Electronic notices should be sent to via our help page.
No Waiver.
Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of these Terms. Waiver of compliance in any particular instance does not mean that we will waive compliance in the future. In order for any waiver of compliance with these Terms to be binding, we must provide you with written notice of such waiver through one of our authorized representatives.
Headings.
The Section and paragraph headings in these Terms are for convenience only and will not affect their interpretation.
