We may offer plans that allow you to use certain aspects of Virtual Publicist, either for free or for a fee (a “Subscription Plan”). We may change Subscription Plans by offering new services or features for additional fees and charges. We may also amend fees and charges for existing Subscription Plans in our sole discretion to better fit the upcoming product, use cases and other reasons yet to be defined.
Any change to a Subscription Plan’s pricing or payment terms will become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you as provided in these Terms. All Users will be notified by email and inmail that such changes may occur and have the option to opt out should this be their decision.
Any payment done for a yearly subscription is non-refundable but modifications to the subscription plan during that year will not affect the pricing the user has committed to.
For any paid Subscription Plan, you agree to make payments, and we may automatically charge your Payment Method for so long as your Virtual Publicist Subscription Plan remains active.
Subscription Plans may be offered for a set subscription period (“Subscription Term”). If you sign up for a paid Subscription Plan, you agree to the pricing and payment terms specified at checkout or as otherwise communicated to you.
When you initiate a purchase transaction, you authorise Virtual Publicist to provide your payment information to third parties to complete your transaction and charge your Payment Method, in United States dollars, for the Subscription Plan you have selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) and any applicable recurring charges as described below.

Any late payments shall be subject to a service charge equal to 1.5% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less (plus the costs of collection).
Virtual Publicist may offer Free Trial periods to allow users to trial Subscription Plans before purchase.
Free Trial Periods may vary in length and availability. The length of a Free Trial is displayed to a user when electing to opt-in to a Free Trial.
Free Trials are limited to one Free Trial Period per Subscription Plan, per customer. Efforts to circumvent this restriction, including, but not limited to, creating multiple Virtual Publicist accounts may result in your removal from the service entirely & restrictions on creating accounts in the future.
Require a payment method to enroll in the trial.
Where a trial does require a payment method, your payment method will be approved at the beginning of the trial but you will not be charged yet.
At the end of the Free Trial period your payment method will be automatically charged for one Term of the Subscription Plan you selected, as each plan has natural limitations of the service offered. The free trial services offered in this term represent the subscription plan selected.
Should you choose not to continue with the Subscription Plan it is your responsibility to cancel your subscription from the Manage Subscription page in your account before the end of your trial.
Virtual Publicist may offer Free Trials that do NOT require you to enter credit card details.
At the end of these trials you will need to enter a payment method to continue to use the Subscription Plan. If you do not successfully enter a payment method or choose not to continue with the Subscription Plan your account will be locked out of the application.
Should you choose to reactivate this account at a future date, your meta data will reappear so long as you sign up with the same username and email. This data will be kept for a maximum of 90 days.
You can cancel a Free Trial at any time before the end of the Trial Period by visiting the Manage Subscription page in your account. Cancelling your trial will immediately downgrade your account to a Free plan.

OUR SERVICES MAY MAKE USE OF THIRD PARTY SERVICES, FEATURE THIRD PARTY CONTENT, DISPLAY THIRD PARTY ADVERTISEMENTS, RUN THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS, AND/OR LINK TO THIRD PARTY WEBSITES. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MIGHT SEE US USE A THIRD PARTY LIKE FACEBOOK FOR LOGGING-IN OR YOUTUBE FOR VIDEOS; YOU MIGHT ALSO SEE Virtual Publicist USE THIRD PARTIES TO FACILITATE MARKETING/PROMOTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS, FINANCIAL TRANSACTION AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ISSUES. NEITHER Virtual Publicist NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING ANY THIRD PARTY’S INFORMATION, CONTENT, DATA, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, AND/OR SERVICES WITH WHICH YOU COME INTO CONTACT VIA OUR SERVICES.

WE DO NOT EXAMINE OR AUDIT ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICES OR PRODUCTS, AND WE DO NOT ENDORSE ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICES OR PRODUCTS UNLESS WE EXPRESSLY INDICATE OTHERWISE IN WRITING.

THEREFORE, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO CAREFULLY REVIEW ALL THIRD PARTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS, PRIVACY POLICIES, OPERATIONAL HISTORIES, AND SECURITY PROTOCOLS BEFORE PROCEEDING.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL YOU SEEK TO ENJOIN OR RESTRAIN Virtual Publicist OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES FROM PROVIDING SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION: OPERATING THE WEBSITE Virtual Publicist.com; PROVIDING LISTING AND PROFILE INFORMATION PERTINENT TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY; CREATING, DISTRIBUTING, AND EXHIBITING CONTENT RELEVANT TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY; CONNECTING PERSONS INTERESTED AND/OR INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY; AND/OR STAYING IN TOUCH WITH OUR PROSPECTIVE AND ACTUAL USERS, PAST AND FUTURE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, RESCISSIONS, OR ANY OTHER EQUITABLE REMEDY IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS AND ANY AGREEMENT HERETO RELATING, EXCEPT THAT AN ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD INJUNCTIVE RELIEF OR REQUIRE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO RESOLVE YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
You and Virtual Publicist agree that any claim, dispute, suit, matter, or controversy arising out of or relating to Virtual Publicist, our Services and/or these Terms of Service will be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. All disputes will be arbitrated (or, if the mandatory arbitration clause herein specified is found to be invalid, litigated) in Los Angeles, CA. You hereby waive any defence or claim of lack of personal jurisdiction, the inappropriateness of venue, or forum non conveniens. You acknowledge and agree that this provision is not intended to, in any manner, limit or negate the force or effect of the clause entitled “Arbitration of Claims.”
You and Virtual Publicist acknowledge and agree that any and all claims, disputes, suits, matters, or controversies between you and Virtual Publicist arising out of or relating to Virtual Publicist, our Services, and/or these Terms & Conditions shall be settled exclusively and finally by arbitration, and that you are hereby waiving your right to seek relief in a court of law, including waiver of your right to a trial by jury or a judge. To the extent legally permitted, each party shall advance its own costs, expenses, and fees in an arbitration hereunder. To the extent permitted by the arbitrator, the arbitrator will conduct any hearings by telephonic or video conference appearance, rather than in-person. Any award rendered in an arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be final and binding on each of the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate shall be enforceable under and subject to the Arbitration Act (Federal Law), R.S.C. 1985, c. A-43. This act governs the enforcement and interpretation of arbitration agreements in Canada, and is based on the principles of the FAA. Both acts aim to promote the use of arbitration as a means of resolving disputes, and provide a framework for the enforcement of arbitration agreements and the conduct of arbitral proceedings
You agree that you may only pursue a claim, dispute, suit, matter, or controversy arising out of or relating to Virtual Publicist, our Services, these Terms of Service, and/or any other agreement you may have formed with us in an individual capacity. You agree that you shall not be involved with any class or representative proceeding – or otherwise participate as a lead plaintiff or class member, in a putative or certified class – involving any claim, proceeding, action, controversy, or dispute arising out of or relating to Virtual Publicist, our Services, our Affiliates, our Terms of Service, and/or any other agreement you may have attempted to or actually formed with us.
To be clear: nothing in this Agreement, including the Mandatory Arbitration provision and other language, is intended to prevent you from bringing issues (including, without limitation, matters relating to Virtual Publicist, our Affiliates, and these Terms of Service) to the attention of local, state, or federal officials and/or agencies as you deem appropriate.
Except as expressly permitted otherwise in writing, you may not assign, delegate, sell, or transfer any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein contrary, Virtual Publicist may freely assign, delegate, sell, and/or transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement – and any assets relating to, arising out of, and/or concerning this Agreement – including without limitation circumstances of sale, merger, acquisition, reincorporation, consolidation, reorganisation, or other change of control. This Agreement will be binding on your heirs, assigns, administrators, and other legal representatives, and shall inure to the benefit for Virtual Publicist and any of its successors and/or assigns.
You acknowledge and agree that Virtual Publicist shall hold no liability or responsibility for any harm, damages, penalties, losses, costs, expenses, fees, or issues that result from factors beyond the scope of our reasonable control. This includes without limitation, acts of God, weather, the shutdown of carriers, transportation, and/or utilities, strikes and protests, acts of warfare and/or terrorism, and actions taken by government agencies.
If any of the terms and conditions herein – or any portion(s) of any terms or conditions – are held unenforceable, the impact of that unenforceability (i.e. limitation or exclusion of terms) will be construed as narrowly as possible to the extent permitted by law; moreover, the remainder of the Terms of Service herein – and all other portions thereof – shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect to the extent legally permissible. Your jurisdiction may not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties or limitations of certain types of damages. Thus, it is possible that portions of these Terms of Service may not apply to you. However, the limitation or exclusion of a particular disclaimer, restriction, limitation, term, or condition shall, in no manner, impact any other provision herein, nor shall it affect the validity or force of that disclaimer, restriction, limitation, term, or condition in other jurisdictions, to the extent allowed by law.
Any translation of these Terms of Service is merely provided as a convenience. Any discrepancy or dispute involving a translated version of these Terms of Service and the English version of these Terms of Service shall be resolved in favor of the English version.
You acknowledge and agree that any failure by either party to require the other’s strict adherence to any term or condition herein shall, in no manner, be construed as a waiver of any right by that party, nor shall such a failure be construed to remove or dilute the effect of any term, condition, or requirement herein stated. In other words, Virtual Publicist may enforce and/or exercise our rights under these Terms of Service as we deem fit, without having to waive them at any point.
We reserve the right to run advertisements and promotions through our Services, and to receive a contingency payment, structured payment, bonus and/or commission in connection with our ads and promotions.
Your words and actions are yours and yours alone – and the same goes for third parties. You acknowledge and agree that Virtual Publicist does not support, endorse, assume liability for, or take responsibility for any User Content, any publicly-sourced information we distribute and/or exhibit, or any other third party statements or interactions arising out of or relating to our Services; any User Content, publicly-sourced information, and any third party statements and interactions solely reflect the statements, positions, and opinions of the person and/or entity creating the content, making the statement, and/or engaging in the interaction. You further acknowledge and agree that you will not hold Virtual Publicist liable or responsible to the extent that a third-party uses our Services to publish or cause to be published information that (a) relates to you and/or a person/entity connected to you, and (b) is false, misleading, and/or private; this includes but is not limited to publications resulting from (a) creation of a profile without authorization of the person, company, or artist identified in the profile; (b) impersonation a person, company representative, or artist; (c) accessing a pre-populated profile without proper authorization from the person, company, or artist identified in the profile; (d) submission of false, misleading, and/or private information to Virtual Publicist by a third party; and (e) the public appearance of false, misleading, and/or private information by some person or entity other than Virtual Publicist. Although Virtual Publicist provides listings, contact information, profile information, and creative media relating to persons, companies, and artists involved in the music industry, you acknowledge and agree that such listings, information, and media, do not constitute an endorsement of, or affiliation with the persons, company, and/or artists therein reflected.
Insofar as these Terms of Service include any errors or ambiguities related to spelling, grammar, or syntax – or any other clear errors or ambiguities – these errors and ambiguities shall be construed to reflect the intent of the parties. This includes, without limitation: (a) any ambiguities, inconsistencies, misuses, or uncertainties around the usage of the word “and” vs. “or” vs. “and/or”; and (b) any ambiguities, inconsistencies, misuses, or uncertainties around the usage of the word “including” – which shall mean “including without limitation,” rather than as point of exclusion, unless otherwise noted.
These Terms of Service – taken along with the incorporated privacy policy – represent the entire agreement between you and Virtual Publicist with respect to your access to, and use of our Services. These terms and conditions supersede any conflicting agreements or terms or conditions– however and whenever established – between you and Virtual Publicist, unless Virtual Publicist explicitly states otherwise in a signed writing, and we reject any term or condition, however and whenever set forth, that conflicts with any term or condition herein listed. You hereby agree that any term or condition you set forth, however and whenever set forth, that conflicts with any term or condition herein listed, shall be void and of no force or effect, regardless of any statement or indication to the contrary, unless Virtual Publicist explicitly states otherwise in a signed writing.
As with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, restrictions, and standards, you agree to abide by all applicable laws, rules, regulations, restrictions and standards concerning United States export controls, including, but not limited to, any applicable embargoes.
