Please read thoroughly. It is your responsibility as a member with us to read and learn these terms of service. We have laid out the most important rules at the start, in easy to understand language, and have refrained from any "jargon". If you do not understand anything, please email us to ask, and we will explain in more detail.

 

Rules agreement

1) You must be a working/corporate/wedding/private hire/club/bar/pub DJ, radio station, or music venue in order to gain membership and licensing from us.

2) As a member of ours, you must comply and fully agree not to share any music or video files you download from us. This includes with friends or family. If any of our files are found on other websites or blogs, or any other illegal sharing site, and it is traced back to your original download, you will be banned for life, without refund. This will be the case even if you are "hacked" or you are convinced that someone close to you shared with a 3rd party. You are solely responsible for what happens to the music and/or video packs after you download them. There will be no exceptions to this rule.

3) When a member is found to have "leaked" material on to a 3rd party website, even if this is done "unwittingly" or "by accident", we will gather strong evidence before making the ban. We will always make sure there can be no doubt before handing out a ban. We will not however provide this evidence to the member that is banned. This is to safeguard our methods of detection.

4) You must not share your login details with anyone else, even if you are part of a "DJ agency" or a "DJ crew". Your IP address is logged at every login. If too many are used, you will face a temporary ban. If multiple bans are issued for too many IP logs, this can become a permanent ban. Please start a dialogue with us if you are concerned about this.

5) Payments and/or subscriptions must be made on time. Your payment date is the date on which you signed up, and the frequency depends on what option your purchased. For example: if you signed up on the 14th June 2016 for a "monthly" subscription, your next payment date would be 14th July 2016, and every other date of the 14th of every month hereafter. Failure to keep payments running on time, or multiple cancellations and restarting of payment profiles can result in a warning. After 2 warnings, if payments are still failing, we will issue a ban.

REFUNDS & CANCELLATIONS

6) Refunds are not permitted. This is because we are a "subscription service" and our product is intangible. Due to this rule, we do not recommend purchasing any more than a 1 month subscription at first to try our service. We even offer a 24 hour free subscription to "try before your buy".

6.1) If you want to cancel your recurring payment, you have 2 options to do this. You can email and ask us to do this for you, but you must do this no later than 48 hours before the payment renewal date. To keep things simple we use the Coordinated Universal Time Zone (UTC). However, if you miss this 48 hour cut off, you can still cancel the payment yourself from the Recurring Payments Dashboard. This can be done at any point before the payment is sent to us automatically.

6.2) If you fail to cancel the recurring payment before the payment is sent to us, we will not agree to any refunds of any amounts. The only time we will grant a full refund is if we are asked to cancel a subscription renewal, given a minimum of 48 hours notice, but we fail to cancel the subscription. However, notice must be given by email to either of these email accounts: nick@promodrops.com sales@promodrops.com support@promodrops.com sales@staticcityremix.com - messages on any social media accounts or Whatsapp do not count as official cancellation notice and therefore will not be refundable.

7) If you are found to be threatening, abusive or menacing to staff in any way, your account will be terminated without refund. Any remaining subscription term you have will be lost. It is your responsibility to know the definition of "abusive", "threatening" and/or "menacing".  Ignorance will never be accepted as an excuse.

8) If a member upgrades his/her account, it is that members responsibility to cancel any existing recurring payments to us. Failure to do this could lead to the member being charged twice for their membership. If this happens, no money will be returned to that member. Instead, the second payment will be credited to their account in the form of extra membership term. Therefore, if a member upgrades to a Lifetime Membership, it is vital that they cancel any existing payments to us, as a term credit will not be possible, and their money will be gone. We will remind everyone by email at the time of upgrading. If we fail to warn, we will not enforce this rule.
