3. Use of the service

3.1. General Policy

ORB provides the Website and the Content on "as is" basis and does not make any express or implied warranties, representations or endorsements whatsoever (including without limitation warranties of title or noninfringement, or the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose) with regard to the Service.

You assume total responsibility and risk for your use of the Website and the Internet. It is solely your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness and usefulness of all opinions, advice, services, merchandise and other information provided through the service or on the internet generally.

ORB does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free or that defects in the service will be corrected expeditiously. You are responsible for implementing sufficient procedures and checks to satisfy your particular requirements for accuracy of data input and output, and for maintaining means external to the Website for the reconstruction of any lost data (due to viruses attacks etc).

You understand further that the Internet by its very nature contains unedited materials some of which are sexually explicit or may be offensive to you. Your access to such materials is at your risk. ORB has no control over and accepts no responsibility whatsoever for such materials.

ORB’s ranking systems help to define most relevant results for our users. To give you the most useful Content, our algorithms check at many factors and signals.

By default it uses filters or optional filters, geo, browser language and takes into account your custom ranking attributes etc. Also we struggle with unfair behaviors and tactics that can lead to ranked changes or other manipulations.

We reserve the right to take any technical action we believe to be unfair user’s manipulations with ORB’s ranking systems.

You shall ensure that your accounts are not used in a manner that results in the infringement of any third party’s rights or national or international law, or that results in the transmission of any illegal, inappropriate, or offensive content via the ORB.

You acknowledge and agree that ORB does not screen or review Content on the ORB to determine whether it contains false or defamatory material, or material that is infringing, inaccurate, misleading, offensive, indecent, objectionable, invasive of another’s privacy or publicity rights.

You may use ORB only for lawful purposes and in accordance with Terms. You agree not to use Service:

in any way that violates any applicable national or international law or regulation.
to impersonate or attempt to impersonate another user, or any other person or entity. (c) in any way that infringes upon the rights of others, or in any way is illegal, threatening, fraudulent, or harmful, or in connection with any unlawful, illegal, fraudulent, or harmful purpose or activity.
to engage in any other conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone’s use of ORB, or which, as determined by us, may harm or offend ORB or users of ORB or any entity or expose them to liability.
in any manner that could disable, overburden, damage, or impair ORB or interfere with any other party’s use of ORB, including their ability to engage in real time activities through ORB.
attempt to gain unauthorized access to, interfere with, damage, or disrupt any parts of ORB, or any server, computer, or database connected to ORB.
otherwise attempt to interfere with the proper working of ORB.

We reserve the right to block access or delete your accounts if you act in inappropriate way towards the ORB or other users, violate the national or international law or the provisions of the Terms, as well as in cases when blocking access to your account is justified for security reasons – in particular: violation of the security of the Service or other hacking actions. Blocking access for the above reasons lasts for the period necessary to resolve the issue, which is the basis for blocking access.

We also reserve the right to terminate your account if it is inactive for a continuous period of 12 months. Our Privacy Policy also governs such cases and helps you to identify the type of relationship you may enter into with the ORB with regard to your personal data.

3.2. User Content

Where it is contemplated by the functionality of the Website or ORB mobile applications, you may post your own content on the Website or within such applications (“User Content”). With respect to the User Content, you guarantee that

you have the right to post such User Content, and
such User Content, or its use by ORB as contemplated by the Agreement, does not violate the Agreement, applicable laws, and the rights of third parties, such as intellectual property rights, right to privacy and respect for private and family life, right to respect for honor, dignity and reputation, or other rights of such third parties, and
such User Content does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement of you or your User Content with ORB or any artist, band, label, entity or individual without express written consent from such individual or entity.

In all cases, we reserve the right to remove or disable access to any User Content for any or no reason, including but not limited to the cases when the User Content, in ORB's sole discretion, violates the Agreement. We may take these actions without prior notification to you or any third party. Removal or disabling of access to the User Content shall be at our sole discretion, and we do not promise to remove or disable access to any specific User Content.

If notified that such content may infringe on any third party’s rights or the law, we may remove such allegedly infringing Content from the ORB. We will make reasonable efforts to provide users with prior notice before removing Content, but reserve the right to remove allegedly infringing Content without prior notice to users in case ORB is unable to reach the user's contact record.

You agree to grant to ORB a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license, with the right to sub-license, to reproduce, distribute, transmit, create derivative works of, publicly display and publicly perform any User Content you submit to any public areas of the Website or by e-mail or any other means to ORB (including materials and other information, as well as ideas contained therein for new or improved products and services). You also grant to ORB the right to use your name in connection with the submitted User Content as well as in connection with all advertising, marketing and promotional material related thereto. You agree that you shall have no recourse against any alleged or actual infringement or misappropriation of any proprietary right in your communications to ORB.

3.3. Third Parties’ Services

The ORB Service is integrated with third party applications, websites, and radio services to make available content, products, and/or services to you. ORB makes no representations whatsoever about any of those websites which you may access through the ORB Service. When you access a non-ORB website, please understand that it is independent from ORB, and that ORB has no control over the content on that website. These third parties’ websites and services may have their own terms and conditions of use and privacy policies, and your use of these third party’s websites will be governed by and subject to such terms and conditions and privacy policies. In addition, a link to any third party’s website or service available on the ORB Website does not mean that ORB endorses the use or accepts any responsibility for the content of such website/service.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

The entire Content of the Website is protected by intellectual property laws and international conventions. The owners of the intellectual property rights to the Content are ORB, its affiliates or other third parties.

It is prohibited to modify, copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, or distribute, in any manner, the Content of the Website, including texts, graphics, programming code and/or software.

Though we are the owner or the licensee of intellectual property rights in the Website, we do not own the intellectual property rights to the audio and video content made available for streaming on the Website and owned by third parties.

By its nature the ORB Service acts as an intermediary platform embedding the links to the audio and video content broadcasted and communicated to the public by third parties. Being merely an intermediary, in no case ORB broadcasts or communicates the content owned by third parties to the public.

While embedding any link in the ORB Service, we guarantee that:

the link and content thereof were freely accessible on the Internet;
all the links and third parties’ content remain unaltered;
the content is played from the same source and in the same way as if it was played on the original platform.

We consider all the Users of ORB Service as potential recipients of the original communication, since the inclusion of the embedded link to the Service does not open up the content to any new public. ORB does not assume any responsibility for the legitimacy of the original communication.

In no case ORB intends to appropriate the third parties’ content. All the intellectual property rights to such content remain in the owners and licensors of the respective radio stations and streaming platforms.

Online Radio Box highly respects and values intellectual property rights and strongly condemns any infringements thereof. If you believe that any ORB Content infringes your intellectual property rights or other rights, or you are the owner of any content embedded in or listed on the ORB Service and you want to alter or delete your content, please contact us at [email protected].

4.1. The use of the Content

You may stream the audio or video content available in the Service solely by means of the audio player embedded in or facilitated by the Service. You must not use any part of the Content for commercial purposes without obtaining a license to do so from us,the radio station provider or the owner of the streaming platform. If you print off, copy or download any part of our Website or applications in breach of these Terms, your right to use our Service will cease immediately and you must, at our option, return or destroy any copies of the Content you have made.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the ORB Service for personal, non-commercial, entertainment purposes. This license shall remain in effect until and unless terminated by you or ORB. You may use the Service and the Content only within the license granted hereunder.

You agree to be provided with advertising and other information to you, and to allow our business partners to do the same. In any part of the ORB Service, the Content you view, including its selection and placement, may be influenced by commercial considerations, including agreements with third parties. Some Content licensed or provided to ORB may contain advertising as part of the Content. In such cases, ORB will make such Content available to you unmodified.

5. Limitation of liability

You agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, your sole and exclusive remedy for any problems or dissatisfaction with the ORB service is to uninstall any ORB software and to stop using the ORB Service.

While we accept no responsibility for third party websites, services or the content thereof, and while your relationship with such third parties websites and services may be governed by separate agreements with such third parties, to the extent permitted by applicable law, your sole and exclusive remedy, as with respect to Online Radio Box, for any problems or dissatisfaction with third parties websites, services or the content thereof, is to uninstall and/or stop using any such third parties websites or services.

In no event will Online Radio Box be liable for (i) any incidental, consequential, or indirect damages (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, business interruption, loss of programs or information, and the like) arising out of the use of or inability to use the service, or any information, or transactions provided on the service, or downloaded from the service, or any delay of such information or service, even if Online Radio Box or its authorized representatives have been advised of the possibility of such damages, or (ii) any claim attributable to errors, omissions, or other inaccuracies in the service and/or materials or information downloaded through the service (if applicable), or (iii) in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, any defamation, falsehoods, errors or omissions associated with such Content, or for any costs, loss, damage or disputes of any kind incurred as a result of the use or publication of any such Content posted, delivered, or otherwise transmitted via the ORB. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless ORB, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers and any third party information providers to the Service from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from any violation of this Agreement (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by you or any other person accessing the Service on your behalf or as a result of the said violation.
