Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you (“you” or “User”) and Probed Studios Inc. (“Probed Studios,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act with its registered office in Ontario, Canada, governing your access to and use of the Global Radio Plus applications for Android, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch (each an “App” and together, the “Apps”), the Global Radio Plus website at globalradioplus.com (the “Website”), and related software (collectively, the “Service”). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.

1. The Service — a directory/aggregator, not a broadcaster

Global Radio Plus is the digital equivalent of a radio receiver. The Apps are directories and aggregators of internet radio stations that help you discover and tune in to radio programming available on the internet. We are not a broadcaster. The Apps do not host, originate, permanently store, transcode, or own the audio content broadcast by stations. The software may temporarily buffer audio as needed for playback. When you select a station, your device connects to the stream URL supplied in the listing or resolved from it and receives the audio from that stream endpoint.

Most station metadata and stream links are obtained from the Radio Browser community database (the open-source radio-browser.info project), which describes its collected data as a public-domain dataset of internet radio streams. We may select, organize, correct, or suppress the listings surfaced through the Service. We do not claim ownership of stations, brands, trademarks, or broadcast content, and we claim no rights in the content listeners may access. Broadcasters remain responsible for the licences and royalties required for their own broadcasts. This does not exclude any obligations Probed Studios Inc. has in connection with the Service's listing of, access to, or use of those broadcasts.

1.1 Website-specific scope and terms

Sections 1–17 are written primarily around the native Apps. For Website use, references to an App include the Website where applicable, and the Section 2 licence permits personal, non-commercial Website use in a supported browser; Section 15 applies only to native Apps.

The Website has no account or library sync. Browser-local favorites, recents, custom links, artwork, and settings may be lost when site data is cleared or removed. Timers and playback can be delayed or stop when a browser, tab, or device is restricted, backgrounded, locked, or offline; do not rely on a timer for safety-critical use. Streams and output features such as Cast or AirPlay depend on third parties, browsers, devices, and receivers, and are not promised to work universally or continuously. See the Website's detailed terms.

2. Licence to use the App

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use only. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

For an App obtained through Apple's App Store, Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“Apple Standard EULA”) also applies. These Terms govern the Global Radio Plus service and supplement that licence; if these Terms conflict with the Apple Standard EULA on a matter governed by that licence, the Apple Standard EULA controls for the Apple App.

3. Restrictions

You agree that you will not, and will not permit anyone else to:

• (a) resell, sublicense, rent, lease, distribute, or otherwise commercially exploit the App;
• (b) copy, modify, translate, adapt, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• (c) use the App to infringe any third party's intellectual-property or other rights, or in any unlawful manner;
• (d) attempt to gain unauthorized access to, interfere with, or disrupt the App, the Radio Browser service, or any broadcaster's systems, or circumvent any access or copy-protection mechanism;
• (e) use any automated means to scrape, harvest, or extract data from the App beyond its intended use; or
• (f) remove or alter any proprietary notices.

4. No accounts; locally stored data; custom stations

The Apps do not require or offer user accounts, registration, or login. Features such as your recently played list, your favorites, any custom stations you add, and your settings are stored locally on your device. On Apple devices, station information needed for favorites, recents, and playback controls may be transferred directly between a paired iPhone and Apple Watch. You are responsible for your device and for any custom stream you choose to add — including ensuring that you are entitled to access it — and we do not review, endorse, or take responsibility for custom streams you add for your own use. This does not limit Probed Studios Inc.'s obligations under Sections 8 and 15. You can remove locally stored data at any time by clearing it in the App (where available), clearing the App's storage, or uninstalling the App.

5. Internet connection and charges

The App requires an internet connection to retrieve listings and to stream audio. You are responsible for all mobile-data, carrier, roaming, and other charges and fees incurred through your use of the App. Stream availability, quality, and continuity depend on the broadcaster and your connection, and are outside our control.

Features such as Siri and Shortcuts, background and lock-screen controls, Apple Watch controls, AirPlay, Google Cast, and playback timers depend on the operating system, network, receiving device, and third-party services. They may be unavailable, delayed, or interrupted. A timer enforces the selected playback action when the system permits; do not rely on it or on radio playback for alarms, emergencies, safety, or any time-critical purpose.

6. Third-Party Content

“Third-Party Content” means everything the App enables you to find or listen to that we do not create or control, including: (a) any broadcast radio programs, audio streams, or other audio content of any listed station; (b) any names, logos, favicons, images, sound recordings, musical works, metadata, or other materials supplied by stations, by the Radio Browser community database, or by other third parties; and (c) any links to, or access to, websites and resources on the internet.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Third-Party Content may be protected by copyright, trademark, or other laws, and rights may be held by parties other than the party that supplied it. You may not reproduce, record, redistribute, publicly perform, publicly display, or create derivative works from Third-Party Content except as permitted by applicable law or the applicable rights-holder.
• We do not control the content or programming of third-party broadcasts. We may select, organize, or suppress listings, but we do not endorse Third-Party Content. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for Third-Party Content itself, its accuracy, or its legality. Broadcasters remain responsible for their content and for the licences required for their broadcasts. This allocation does not exclude Probed Studios Inc.'s responsibility for its operation of the Service, its applicable compliance obligations, or its handling of claims as described in Sections 8 and 15.
• Broadcasters and the Radio Browser community may add, change, remove, relocate, or stop streams or listings at any time. We do not guarantee that any particular station or content will be available, recordable, or playable, and stations may apply geographic or other access restrictions or copy-protection mechanisms that we do not control.

7. Intellectual property; Radio Browser data

The App's software, design, and our trademarks are owned by Probed Studios or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Much of the underlying station data is obtained from the Radio Browser community database, which states that it makes its collected data available as a public-domain dataset; the relevant station names, stream links, and similar metadata are not owned by us. Station names, logos, and trademarks may be protected by rights held by their respective owners and are used for identification only; their inclusion does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by those owners.

8. Copyright and intellectual-property complaints — notice and takedown

We respect intellectual-property rights and expect users and broadcasters to do the same. Although we do not host station audio and much of the station data comes from Radio Browser, we provide a good-faith notice-and-takedown procedure for rights-holders.

8.1 How to send a notice. If you are a rights-holder (or authorized to act for one) and you believe that a station listed in, or accessible through, the Service infringes your intellectual-property rights, use our removal and copyright-notice form or send a written “Notice of Claimed Infringement” to [email protected]. Ordinary station-listing or removal requests can be submitted through the same form without the copyright declarations below. To be effective, your notice should include, at minimum:

• (a) identification of the specific station/listing or material claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it within the App (e.g., the station name and, where possible, the stream URL);
• (b) identification of the copyrighted work or other right claimed to be infringed;
• (c) your contact information (name, address, telephone, email);
• (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use complained of is not authorized by the rights-holder, its agent, or the law;
• (e) a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights-holder or are authorized to act on the rights-holder's behalf; and
• (f) your physical or electronic signature.

8.2 What we will do. Upon receiving an effective notice, we will act in good faith and, where appropriate, remove the identified station from view within the App (that is, from the listings surfaced to users of Global Radio Plus). We may also decline to surface listings that we reasonably believe to be infringing.

8.3 The Radio Browser dual path. Because much of the App's station data comes from the Radio Browser community database (radio-browser.info), removing a station from the App's view does not delete any corresponding entry from that independently maintained database. To have an entry changed or removed at the source — so that it no longer propagates to apps that use the database — the rights-holder may also address Radio Browser directly through the project's website (radio-browser.info) and its community process. We will, where reasonable, assist by directing you to the appropriate Radio Browser channel.

8.4 Broadcaster contact. Rights-holders may also contact the broadcaster that controls the challenged stream or programming. That option does not limit our responsibility to investigate and respond to complaints concerning the Service under Sections 8 and 15.

9. Disclaimers; no warranty

THE APP AND ALL CONTENT AND LISTINGS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components, that any station or content will be available, accurate, lawful, or playable, or that defects will be corrected. You use the App and access Third-Party Content at your own risk. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any warranty or right that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including consumer-protection law.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PROBED STUDIOS AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP OR ANY THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (WHICH, FOR A FREE APP, IS NIL) OR (B) CAD $50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you; nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law. Nothing in this Section limits or overrides Probed Studios Inc.'s obligations to Apple or Google under the applicable developer or distribution agreements.

11. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Probed Studios from any third-party claims, damages, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, your addition of custom streams, or your infringement of any third party's rights.

12. Changes to the App and to these Terms

We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features of the App at any time, with or without notice, and we will not be liable for doing so. We may also update these Terms from time to time; the updated version will be posted with a revised “Effective date”, and your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, stop using the App.

13. Termination

These Terms apply while you use the App. You may end them at any time by uninstalling the App. We may suspend or terminate your licence if you breach these Terms or use the App unlawfully. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, and 15) will survive.

14. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the App are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to any non-waivable rights you have under the consumer-protection laws of your place of residence and any rights preserved by an applicable app-store licence, you and Probed Studios agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Ontario, Canada for the resolution of any dispute. Distribution through an app marketplace does not otherwise change the governing law or forum. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

15. App-store terms (platform clause)

You may obtain an App through a third-party app marketplace such as Google Play or Apple's App Store, and your use is also subject to that marketplace's terms. You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms when using an App. This Agreement is between you and Probed Studios only, and not with the marketplace provider; Probed Studios, not the marketplace provider, is responsible for the App, its content, support, and maintenance to the extent required by applicable terms and law. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms for the Apple App and may enforce the applicable provisions after you accept them. The Apple Standard EULA and equivalent platform terms continue to apply as described in Section 2.

For Apps distributed through Apple's App Store, Probed Studios Inc., rather than Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging any third-party claim that the App, or a user's possession or use of it, infringes intellectual-property rights, as required by applicable platform terms and developer agreements. Probed Studios Inc. will perform its applicable defence and indemnification obligations to Apple under those agreements. For Apps distributed through Google Play, Probed Studios Inc. will perform its applicable obligations concerning intellectual-property claims under the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement. Nothing in these Terms limits or overrides the obligations Probed Studios Inc. owes Apple or Google under those agreements, authorizes infringement, or restricts rights that applicable law does not permit us to exclude. This paragraph does not make Probed Studios Inc. responsible for Apple's or Google's own acts or omissions except to the extent an applicable agreement or law requires.

16. General

These Terms (with the Privacy Policy and, for the Apple App, the Apple Standard EULA) are the entire agreement between you and Probed Studios regarding the App. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor. Headings are for convenience only.
