We are Glowinthedark Limited. Our company information is at the end of this
document.
What this is all about
These are our terms and conditions which apply to our Service (explained below).
We’ve tried to make them user-friendly.
Please read them carefully and save a copy as we don’t file a copy specifically for the transaction
with you.
They’re available in English only.
While these terms and conditions apply to all Users (unless otherwise stated),
the Addendum to this document contains additional payment terms that apply only to
Organisations.
Where you communicate with us on behalf of a company / organisation, you agree that you have
authority to act on its behalf.

our audio processing servers and any related services.
“User” – any individual or entity using our Service (whether or not registered with us)
including Customers and Organisations.
“Customer” – a registered User of our Service.
“Organisation” – a Customer, or group of Customers, who pay to use charged for parts of our Service.

How you enter a legal contract with us
By registering on our Service, you enter a legal contract with us to use our Service. Alternatively,
if you agree to these terms before Joining a Space, you enter into a legal contract with us at that point.
By browsing any part of our Service that does not require registration/payment,
you are also bound by these terms to the extent they are relevant.
Changing these terms and conditions
We may change these terms and conditions by giving you at least 30 days’
notice unless a more urgent change is needed to comply with law/regulation or to deal with an
unforeseen and imminent danger.
We will notify you by posting the new version on our website and, if the changes are important, by
email, SMS and/or in-app message.
If you don’t agree to the new terms, you should end this contract as explained below before the new
terms take effect. Otherwise, the new terms will apply.
Your right to use our Service
We grant you a limited personal non-transferable right to use our Service subject to these terms and conditions.
Behaviour when using our Service
You agree not to do any of the following in connection with our Service:
break the law or infringe anyone else’s rights;
send, store, display or link to unlawful, infringing or otherwise inappropriate Content;
victimise or harass other people;
use grossly offensive, obscene, abusive or discriminatory language or images;
deceive or mislead anyone;
send, store, display or link to any Audio that is someone else's copyright
unless that person is 18 years or over and you have obtained their written consent or you
are otherwise legally permitted to do so;
send, store, display or link to any Space Data that includes someone else’s personal
information unless that person is 18 years or over and you have obtained their written consent or you
are otherwise legally permitted to do so;
impersonate anyone;
use our Service with a view to competing with us or infringing our rights;
disrupt our Service, e.g., spam, viruses or phishing;
interfere with or damage our Service or gain unauthorised access to any part of our system,
data, passwords or otherwise;
intercept or modify communications;
impose an unreasonable load on our Service;
deliberately exploit any bugs found within our Service;
get around any security features including those designed to stop copying of Content; or
attempt, encourage or assist any of the above.
You agree to:
comply with the guidance/requirements on our Service;
cooperate reasonably with us in relation to our Service; and
ensure that any contact or other information that you supply to us is accurate and not
misleading, and you will tell us if there are any important changes.
Fair use
We are entitled to set fair use limits on our Service apart from any criteria on which payments
are based.
If those limits are breached, we are entitled to suspend or end the contract.
If we end the contract, we will refund in full any fees already paid which relate to the period
after the contract ends.
Dealing with other Users
Organisations are responsible for deciding which Collaborators to invite and deal with. We are not
legally responsible for any dealings between Users.
Users joining Spaces
When we grant a User access to a Space directly, rather than through a Customer, their use of and behaviour in
that Space is bound by these terms.
Customers that control access to a Space are responsible for deciding who they grant access to.
As a Customer you may allow other Users access to a Space, by giving them a Ticket,
or by some other secure means under your control, such as a sharable link containing an access token.
When this is the case we are not legally responsible for any dealings between Users in this Space.
Audio
You are responsible for any Audio you send to a Space.
You retain ownership of the intellectual property rights for any Audio you send to a Space unless and to
the extent you agree otherwise with another User. You allow us, at no cost and for so long as this
contract lasts to use and adapt all or part of such material insofar as reasonably necessary for the
purpose of our Service.
We do not record, store, share with third parties, transcribe or in any other way retain any Audio
beyond what is necessary for the functioning of our Service or as specifically described in these terms.
We are allowed (without telling you or giving you a refund) to reject, suspend, alter, remove or
delete Audio or to disclose to the police or other relevant authorities any
Audio or behaviour if it is the subject of complaint or where we have reason to believe that it
breaches our terms and conditions, or that such steps are necessary to protect us or others, or that
a criminal offence may have been committed, or where required by law or where requested by the
police or other appropriate authorities.
You agree that you have (and will keep) all rights needed to enable us to use your Audio as
contemplated by the Service and these terms and conditions including the right to share Audio
with other Users in the same Space.
You acknowledge that our Service enables Customers to control access to Audio
sent to a Space. Users are responsible for agreeing how to deal with Audio as between
themselves including any licensing of, or transferring of ownership of intellectual property rights in, such Audio.
We are not legally responsible if your Audio is misused by other Users. You must take reasonable care when deciding
which Audio to send to our Service.
If you encounter behaviour or Audio which you think is inappropriate, please email us to our email
address shown below (including if you wish to give us notice of defamatory material). Please also
seek relevant external help if appropriate (e.g., from law enforcement authorities) and/or stop
using the Service.
Our guidance
If we ourselves provide any guidance or other general information on or via our Service, we do not
guarantee that it is accurate or up to date and we do not accept legal responsibility for it. Before
acting on such information, you must make your own appropriate and careful enquiries including as to
its accuracy and suitability for your purposes. You rely on such information at your own risk.
If you create an account on our Service
Your account is non-transferable. You agree not to allow any other person to use your account. You
agree to take reasonable care to keep your login information confidential and to tell us immediately
of any apparent breach of security such as loss or misuse of a password. You are responsible for
Collaborators who you invite to use our Service (except insofar as their activities relate to
another Organisation) and for people who use your account or identity (unless and to the extent that
we are at fault).
Support
The Service includes support only if we specifically say so within the Service and, if so, by the
specified contact methods. Any support service is only intended to address configuration and proper
use of, or any errors or interruptions arising from, our Service.
Unless otherwise stated, we do not guarantee any particular response times or outcomes. Any response
times given are English business hours/days unless we say otherwise.
In any event, we aren’t obliged to supply support if you owe us any money or have otherwise broken
this contract.
Ending or suspending this contract
You are entitled to end this contract at any time by closing your account as explained on our
Service. (This doesn’t entitle Organisations to a refund.)
We are entitled to end this contract at any time or suspend part or all of our
Service or impose restrictions on our Service if:
you or any of your Collaborators break this contract;
you are a Collaborator and your account has been inactive for at least 12 months;
any fees payable by you are unpaid or unjustifiably charged back;
acting reasonably, we think that it is necessary to protect you, us or others;
we are required to do so by applicable law or regulation or to comply with an order,
instruction or request from a competent authority; or
you, anyone on your behalf or any of your Collaborators act inappropriately towards our
staff.
We are entitled at any time to end this contract without giving reasons. If so, we will refund in
full any fees already paid which relate to the period after the contract ends.
We are entitled at any time to end this contract if we terminate our Service as a whole if in our
reasonable opinion it is necessary to do so for security, technical or operational reasons.
If this contract ends:
Your right to use our Service and all licences are terminated.
Existing rights and liabilities are unaffected.
All clauses in this contract which are stated or intended to continue after termination will
continue to apply.
If our Service doesn’t work properly
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free or that any Content
generated, stored, transmitted or used via or in connection with the Service will be complete,
accurate, secure, up to date, received or delivered correctly or at all.
We are entitled, without notice and without liability to suspend the Service for repair,
maintenance, improvement or other technical reason.
You acknowledge that technology is not always secure and you accept the risks inherent in use of the
Internet or other technology for the purpose of the Service.
Restrictions on our legal responsibility – very important
Nothing in this agreement in any way limits or excludes our liability for negligence causing death
or personal injury or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or for anything which may not
legally be excluded or limited. In this section, any reference to us includes our employees and
agents, who have the right to enforce this agreement.
If you are an Organisation at the time of the act or omission complained of, our liability of any kind
(including our own negligence) for any act or omissions or series of connected acts or omissions is
limited to the total fees paid or payable by you to us in connection with our Service in the 12
months before the first act or omission complained of.
In no event (including our own negligence) will we be liable for any of the following (even if we
have been advised of the possibility of any such losses): economic losses (including, without limit,
loss of revenues, profits, contracts, business or anticipated savings); or loss of goodwill or
reputation; or special, indirect or consequential losses; or damage to or loss of data.
You will indemnify us against all claims and liabilities directly or indirectly related to your use
of the Service and/or breach of this agreement.
If you are a Customer that has granted access to a Space to a User you will indemnify us against all
claims and liabilities directly or indirectly related to that User's use of the Service.
To the extent allowed by law, you and we exclude all terms, whether imposed by statute or by law or
otherwise, that are not expressly stated in this agreement.
This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between us with respect to its subject matter and
supercedes any previous communications or agreements between us. We both acknowledge that there have
been no misrepresentations and that neither of us has relied on any pre-contractual statements.
Liability for misrepresentation (excluding fraudulent misrepresentation) relating to the terms of
this agreement is excluded.
Intellectual property rights (e.g., copyright)
The intellectual property rights in our Content are owned by us or by our partners or suppliers. You
may view such material on your device for your personal, private and internal business use only. You
must not otherwise use such material including copying, publishing, selling or adapting it or taking
extracts from it unless we specifically say so in writing (except to the extent specifically allowed
by this agreement). You must not misrepresent the ownership or source of such material, for example
by changing or removing any legal notices or author attributions.
Just to be clear - you must not collect, scrape, harvest, frame or deep-link to our Content without
our specific prior written consent.
You must not reverse-engineer or decompile any of our software in any way (except to the extent
allowed by applicable law). You must not create or use a modified or derivative version of our
software or distribute or sublicense our software to third parties (except when you are permitted to do so under a separate licence from us).
Your personal information – see our privacy policy
You agree that we can deal with your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy
which may change from time to time. However, separate requirements
apply were where we act as a “processor” – see below.
Personal information that we handle as a “processor”
This clause applies to personal information we handle as a “processor”. You are the “controller” of
this information. We process it during the contract to enable us to provide our services.
This includes any personal information about Users that is included in Tickets
or is sent to our audio processing servers by Users accessing a Space.
We agree to the following in relation to such data:
to process it only in accordance with your documented instructions including as set out in
this
agreement (unless the law requires otherwise in which case we will tell you);
if we transfer it outside the UK or European Economic Area to ensure that the recipient is
bound by
the applicable “standard contractual clauses” created by the ICO or to comply with any
alternative
legal basis for such transfer;
to ensure that anyone we allow to deal with the data is under a confidentiality
obligation;
to take, and regularly review, appropriate security measures in accordance with data
protection law and get your approval before making any important changes;
not to subcontract any processing without your authorisation and you are deemed to authorise
any sub-processors listed on our Service;
to give you at least 14 days’ notice of any new sub-processor and you will be deemed to
agree if you don’t object within that time; if you do object, we can end this contract or
just the part relating to use of the new sub-processor;
to impose on the sub-processor the same obligations as those we have under this agreement
but we remain fully liable to you for the sub-processor’s obligations;
to take reasonable steps to help you comply with your own data protection obligations
including regarding data subject requests, security, notifying data breaches and data
protection impact assessments;
unless we are legally required to retain the data, to delete it within 14 days following the Space closing;
to provide you with all information necessary to show that we have complied with our data
obligations and to allow and cooperate with audits and inspections by you and your auditor;
and
to tell you immediately if we think that an instruction you give us doesn’t comply with data
protection laws.
Things we can’t control
We are not liable for failure to perform or delay in performing any obligation under this agreement
if the failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond our reasonable control including third
party telecommunication failures and epidemics/pandemics.
Transferring this contract to someone else
We may transfer all or part of our rights or duties under this agreement provided we take reasonable
steps to ensure that your rights under this agreement are not prejudiced. As this agreement is
personal to you, you may not transfer any of your rights or duties under it without our prior
written consent.
English law and courts
This contract is governed by the law, and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts, of
England and Wales.
General but important information
We may send all notices under this agreement by email to the most recent email address you have
given us. You can send notices to our email address shown below. Headings used in this agreement are
for information and not binding. If any part of this agreement is ineffective or unenforceable for
any reason, the rest of the agreement will still apply. If either of us overlooks any breach of this
agreement by the other, it can still be actioned later. A person who is not a party to this
agreement can’t enforce it unless the agreement says otherwise. The parties are independent
contractors and, except as otherwise specifically stated above, nothing in this agreement make any
party as agent, employee or representative of the other.

ADDENDUM APPLYING ONLY TO ORGANISATIONS
Paying us
Fees are calculated from the duration that a Space is active and its maximum capacity.
Current pricing is available on our website and is given as a price per unit of capacity per minute.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is in advance. Booking a Space via our web app or using
one of our APIs is taken as your agreement to pay for that Space.
If you would like different payment terms such as monthly billing please get in touch.
If you book via the web app you will be presented with a summary of the Space you are ordering
including the price you will pay before you confirm the order and payment.
If you book a Space using one of our APIs you will receive a reply giving a summary of the Space
you are ordering including the price that you will pay, we will then wait ten minutes before processing you order
and taking payment, unless the booking has been made within 15 minutes of the Space's start time in
which case we will process the order and take payment immediately.
Until we start processing the order you can delete the Space and no payment will be taken.
Once we have started processing the order it is not possible to delete the Space or cancel the payment.
If we are not able to provide you with a Space you have paid for we
will refund the fee for the Space in full.
If we have mis-priced any part of our Service, we are not obliged to supply the Service at that
price provided we notify you. If we do notify you, then you can decide if you want to continue with
the Service at the correct price.
You authorise us and our payment provider to charge your payment card for the relevant amounts or
otherwise take payment whenever payments are due in accordance with this agreement.
It is your responsibility to update your payment card details as necessary.
We may at any time change our prices. We will give you notice by email at least 30 days
before any price change takes effect. If you do not agree with the new price, you should end the
contract as explained above. Otherwise, any Spaces booked after the 30 days’ notice will be at the new price.
You must contact us immediately with full details if you dispute any payment.
You agree that you are legally bound by the terms and conditions of any payment providers whose
services you use on our Service. We aren’t responsible for what they do or don’t do.
You must make all payments without any set-off, counterclaim or any other deduction. Time shall be
of the essence for all payments under this agreement.
If any amount due to us is unpaid (including unjustifiable chargeback), without prejudice to any
other remedy that may be available to us, we may charge you: (1) a reasonable additional
administration fee; (2) the amount of any third party charges imposed on us; and/or (3) interest
(both before and after judgment) on the amount unpaid at the rate for the time being that would be
applicable if the debt were a qualifying debt under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest)
Act 1998.
