Suddplay+ Premium Subscription Refund Policy

If your Suddplay subscription was purchased via the Suddplay website, you can cancel your subscription at any time before the end of your 30-day payment period. You will be able to maintain your premium subscription until the following payment cycle, at which point your account will return to the free tier. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods.

You can cancel this subscription by selecting “manage subscriptions” within your Suddplay profile on the Suddplay app or website.

If you believe you were charged too much, or charged multiple times, please reach out to support via our support@suddplay.com. This likely means you are paying for multiple accounts, and we will help resolve the situation.

Suddplay reserves the right to increase the price of subscriptions via advanced notice to the user. Suddplay may increase the price of subscriptions due to a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to; changing market conditions, competitor pricing, and licensing agreements with content partners.

If you have a Subscription and your account is suspended or terminated by Suddplay due to infringing upon Suddplay’s terms of service, you will not be entitled to any refund for any unexpired period of your subscription. If your account is terminated because Suddplay elects to cease providing access to the platform in the jurisdiction where you reside or from where you are attempting to access the platform, or in other reasonable circumstances as determined by Suddplay at its discretion, refunds may be payable at the reasonable discretion of Suddplay. Suddplay has no liability to you, nor any obligation to provide a refund to you, in connection with internet or other service outages or failures that are caused by the actions of government authorities, other third parties, or events beyond our control.

Suddplay Supporters Program – Listener Terms

Suddplay’s Supporters program (the “Program”) enables you to support Artists through the purchase of digital tokens (“Tokens”), which you can use to show your appreciation for a particular track or album (“Project”) on the Suddplay Service or Platform (as defined in the Suddplay Terms of Service). Tokens include a badge that you can include on your Suddplay profile, and/or an image of the Project artwork that you can share via your other social media profiles and channels, in each case demonstrating your support for the relevant Project. Suddplay intends to share revenue from purchase of Tokens with applicable Artists.

If you choose to purchase or use Tokens, these Terms apply to you. These Terms may change from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by email, but we also recommend you review this page periodically to make sure you’re aware of the latest Terms.

The Program is only open to certain Artists on the Suddplay Service and Platform, as determined by us at our discretion. For this reason, you may not always be able to buy Tokens for every Artist or Project that you may wish to support.

You can purchase Tokens if you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), or if you are at least 13 years of age and are acting under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms.

Using Tokens to support an Artist’s Project does not give you any rights with respect to that Project.

Suddplay intends to share the revenue generated from the sale of Tokens with applicable Artists and/or their representatives under the terms of agreements that Suddplay has entered into with those Artists and/or their representatives. Suddplay may retain a share of this revenue for itself, and may also be required to share revenue with certain third-party platform providers under the terms of agreements with those third-party platform providers. For this reason, Suddplay cannot guarantee that the money you spend on Tokens will be shared exclusively with the specific Artists whose Projects you choose to support using your Tokens.

We may change or withdraw the Program at any time at our sole discretion, and subject to applicable law, we will not be obligated to refund the value of any Tokens, or otherwise be liable to you in any way, if we do so. Please bear this in mind when deciding whether to purchase Tokens, or how many Tokens you wish to purchase at any given time. We may also introduce or discontinue different types of Token or change the price of Tokens at any time, although this will not affect any Tokens you have already purchased.

The price of Tokens will be provided at the time of purchase. All charges and payments for Tokens will be made in the currency specified at the time of purchase. Currency exchange settlements, foreign transaction fees and payment channel fees, if any, are based on your agreement with the applicable payment provider.

All sales of Tokens are final. Tokens are non-refundable, except as required by applicable law. Tokens are available to be used as soon as your payment is processed, and by purchasing Tokens, you agree that you will waive any statutory right you may have to change your mind about your purchase, or to cancel your purchase within any applicable cooling off period.

The associated value of the Tokens that you purchase will be credited to your Suddplay account. If you choose to support a Project using your Token(s), the associated value of the Token(s) will be deducted from your Suddplay account. This deduction is final, and you will not be entitled to reverse or cancel your support, or claim any refund or credit, for example, if you choose to delete any post featuring your Token on any third party platform.

If any Tokens are subject to sales tax in your jurisdiction and you have not paid the applicable sales tax to us when you purchase your Tokens, then you will be responsible for the payment of the applicable sales tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority.

Tokens do not constitute property, and have no monetary value. Tokens are not currency, and do not constitute cash or cash equivalent. Tokens cannot be exchanged for cash or other goods or services. Tokens cannot be transferred to or exchanged with other users, and other than any Token designed for social sharing via third party platforms, cannot be used outside of the Suddplay Service or Platform.

Purchase and use of Tokens requires you to have an Suddplay account. If you delete your account for any reason, if you permanently lose access to your account, or if your account is terminated pursuant to the Suddplay Terms of Service, you will not be able to purchase Tokens and you will lose access to any Tokens you may already have purchased. We will not be liable for any refunds in respect of any unused Tokens in these cases.

Without limiting any of our other rights, we may prevent you from purchasing or using Tokens if you breach any of these Terms, or breach any provision of the Suddplay Terms of Service.

These Terms govern your purchase and use of Tokens and are supplemental to the Suddplay Terms of Service and other terms, conditions and policies governing your use of the Suddplay Service or Platform. Your purchase of Tokens may also be subject to additional third party terms, for example relating to in-app purchases, and you are solely responsible for ensuring that you read, understand, and comply with applicable third party terms. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Suddplay Terms of Service, these Terms will govern solely with respect to the Program, and solely to the extent of that conflict.

If you have any questions about these Terms or the Program, you can contact us at support@suddplay.com.
