You agree not to download Content through automatic means, or otherwise use or launch any automated system (including, without limitation, any robot, spider or offline reader) that accesses the Site in a manner that sends more requests to SideTrax or its servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a publicly available, standard (i.e. not modified) web browser. If we, in our sole discretion, assess that you are downloading Content in breach of any download restrictions or for purposes other than the intended use in a License (e.g. in cases of unusual download behaviours), we may block, suspend or limit further downloads.

You agree to pay, and you hereby authorise us to charge you, whatever fees and other charges applicable to any Single Track Licenses, Paid Subscriptions or the purchase of any other paid Licenses, feature or other service (collectively, the "Fees"). If you have signed up for a Paid Subscription, you will be charged, and agree to pay, the at each time applicable subscription Fee at the beginning of each relevant subscription period, as designated by you when purchasing a Paid Subscription, (each such period a "Subscription Period"). All Fees are non-refundable except as explicitly provided in these Terms or if you are a consumer and applicable consumer protection law provides you a right to a refund.

Payment methods and processing. Payments may be processed through third-party payment methods which we make available or via a third party app distribution platform or marketplace, as applicable. You must provide accurate billing information, and promptly update any changes to it (such as card numbers and expiry dates).

Trials and Discounts. We, or others on our behalf, may offer discount codes ("Discounts") or free trial periods for access to a Paid Subscription or other paid License (a “Trial”). By acquiring a License via a Discount or Trial, you must agree to any separate additional terms and conditions presented to you in connection to such offering. If you have been offered a Discount or Trial, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Discount or Trial, and if you’re determined not to be eligible, not allow you to use the Discount or Trial or modify the Discount or Trial at any time with prior written notice. For some, Trials we require you to provide payment details to start the Trial. At the end of such Trial, and if you have not canceled the Trial prior to expiry, SideTrax will automatically start to charge the applicable Fees for such provided License.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Takedown. In the unlikely event that any Sound Recording(s) may be subject to a claim of infringement of a third party's right for which we may be liable, we may require you to, at your own expense, stop any use of such Sound Recording(s) and ensure that others on your behalf do the same. Subject to your compliance with the relevant License and these Terms, we will in such case provide you with replacement Sound Recording(s) (determined by us) free of charge.

Indemnification
Indemnification by you. Upon request by SideTrax, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold SideTrax (including, but not limited to, affiliated companies and their contractors, officers, directors and employees) harmless from all claims, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) that arise from your misuse of the Site and/or Content in a manner not in strict compliance with these Terms.

General legal terms
Mandatory rights and severability. If you are a consumer (as defined in the law of your jurisdiction), these Terms are not intended to, and shall not, exclude or limit any mandatory rights you may have under the consumer laws of your jurisdiction. If one or more of the provisions contained in these Terms are found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable mandatory law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.

Should such efforts not be successful, and unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of a member state of the European Union or any other jurisdiction, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof shall be finally settled by a public court with the Stockholm district court as the court of first instance.
