Terms of Use of the Music Website

These Terms of Use define the rules of access to the music website zvyk.me, its materials and features. By opening website pages, creating an account or using the player, you confirm that you have read these Terms and agree to comply with them.

1. Scope of the Terms

The website provides access to information about musical works, artists and releases, as well as to the features of listening, search, creating playlists, saving favourites and other available options. The list of features may change as the website develops.

If special rules are published for a particular feature, they apply together with these Terms. In case of conflict, the special rules of the relevant feature prevail.

2. Acceptability of using the website

The user must have the requisite legal capacity to accept these Terms. Minors may use features for which the law requires the consent of a parent or legal representative only after such consent is obtained.

If you do not agree with these Terms, stop using the website and do not create an account.

3. Account and security

Some features may require registration. The user must provide accurate information, keep their login details secret and not transfer the account to another person. All actions performed after proper authorisation are considered actions of the account owner, unless they promptly report unauthorised access.

If you suspect a password leak or third-party access, change your password and contact us through the feedback form.

4. Permitted use

The user may view pages, search for music, listen to the available tracks, create their own collections and use other features in accordance with their purpose. Downloading material is allowed only when the website directly provides the relevant button or link, and only to the extent permitted by law and the rights holder’s terms.

Access to the website is provided for personal lawful use. Providing the technical ability to listen to or download material does not mean the transfer of copyright, related or other exclusive rights.

5. Prohibited actions

While using the website it is prohibited to:

  • violate the law, the rights of others or these Terms;
  • circumvent technical restrictions, authorisation, protection or access control;
  • interfere with the operation of the server, player, database or network infrastructure;
  • distribute malicious code, engage in phishing, spam or attempts at unauthorised access;
  • automatically collect, copy or mass download materials without the prior written consent of the administration, except as expressly permitted by law;
  • impersonate another person, hide the source of a request or use someone else’s account;
  • use website materials in a way that violates copyright, related, trademark or personal non-property rights.

6. User materials

If the website allows publishing comments, images, texts or other materials, the user is responsible for their legality and accuracy. It is forbidden to post unlawful, offensive, misleading, confidential or another person’s protected content without a proper legal basis.

By submitting material for publication, the user grants the administration a non-exclusive and free-of-charge permission to store, technically process and display it only to the extent necessary for the relevant feature to work. The user retains the rights to their own material. The administration may hide or delete material that violates these Terms, the law or the rights of others.

7. Copyright and related rights

Rights to musical works, phonograms, performances, covers, titles and other materials belong to the relevant rights holders. The designations, design, programme code and the website’s own texts are protected to the extent provided by law.

If you are a rights holder or their authorised representative and believe that material infringes your rights, use the procedure described on the DMCA / Rights Holders page. The notice must include the exact address of the disputed material and sufficient information to verify the claim.

8. Service availability and changes

The administration strives to maintain the stable operation of the website, but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. Individual features or materials may be temporarily unavailable due to technical work, failures, security requirements, a decision of a rights holder or other circumstances.

The administration may change, add, suspend or discontinue individual features if it is necessary for security, compliance with the law, protection of rights or the development of the service.

9. External resources

Pages may contain links, widgets or embedded materials of third-party services. Such resources operate under their own rules and policies. The administration does not control their content, availability or data processing and does not automatically endorse all materials placed on them.

10. Limitation of liability

The information and features of the website are provided on an as-is and as-available basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the administration is not liable for indirect damages, data loss, device or software incompatibility, actions of third-party services or consequences of the user’s violation of these Terms.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded by law, as well as the user’s mandatory consumer rights, where they apply.

11. Access restrictions

In case of violation of these Terms, a security threat, unlawful activity or a proper request from an authorised body, the administration may temporarily restrict features or access to an account. Where possible, the nature and duration of the restriction are determined taking into account the circumstances and severity of the violation.

12. Privacy

The procedure for processing personal data, the use of cookies and user rights are described in the Privacy Policy, which is an integral part of the website usage rules.

13. Changes to these Terms

The Terms may be updated in connection with changes to the law, features or the way the website operates. The current version is published on this page with the date of the last update. Further use of the website after the changes take effect means acceptance of the new version, unless otherwise provided by law.

14. Applicable law and appeals

Matters not regulated by these Terms are resolved in accordance with applicable law. The parties first try to resolve the dispute through good-faith correspondence, provided that such a procedure does not limit the user’s right to approach a competent authority or court.

Questions about these Terms can be sent through the contact page. Do not send your password, payment details or other secret data in your message.
