Global Radio Plus

Terms of Use

Effective 11 June 2026 · Version 1.0

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 mobile application and related software (the “App” or “Service”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, 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 install or use the App.

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

Global Radio Plus is the digital equivalent of a radio receiver. The App is a directory and aggregator of internet radio stations that helps you discover and tune in to radio programming that broadcasters have already made publicly available on the internet. We are not a broadcaster. The App does not host, originate, store, control, transcode, or own any audio stream or any content broadcast by any station. When you select a station, your device connects directly to the broadcaster's own publicly available stream URL and streams the audio from the broadcaster; the App simply points your device to that publicly available stream.

The station listings in the App (such as station names, countries, codecs, and logo/favicon URLs and the stream links themselves) are sourced from the Radio Browser community database (the open-source radio-browser.info project), a community-maintained, public-domain dataset of internet radio streams. We do not claim ownership of the stations, brands, trademarks, or content that you can access through the App, and we claim no rights in the content that listeners may access. Each broadcaster is solely responsible for its own stream and for the rights, licences, and royalties associated with whatever it broadcasts.

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.

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 App does 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. 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. 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.

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 owned by and copyrighted to the third parties that supply it, and may be protected by copyright and other laws. 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 by the rights-holder.
We exercise no editorial or programming control over Third-Party Content, do not endorse it, and are not responsible or liable for it, for its accuracy or legality, or for any rights or licensing associated with it. Responsibility for the content of a stream — and for holding any licences needed to broadcast it — rests with the broadcaster.
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. The underlying station data is obtained from the Radio Browser community database, which 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 belong to 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 the audio or originate the listings, 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 App infringes your intellectual-property rights, please send a written “Notice of Claimed Infringement” to [email protected]. 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 the App's listings originate from the Radio Browser community database (radio-browser.info), removing a station from the App's view does not delete the underlying entry from that community database, which is independently maintained. 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 responsibility. The most direct remedy for an allegedly infringing broadcast is with the broadcaster operating the stream, who controls the content and is responsible for its licensing.

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.

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, 9, 10, 11, and 14) 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, you and Probed Studios agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Ontario, Canada for the resolution of any dispute. The fact that the App is distributed through a U.S.-based platform (Google Play) does not 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 obtained the App through a third-party app marketplace (such as Google Play), and your use is also subject to that marketplace's terms. You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms when using the App. This Agreement is between you and Probed Studios only, and not with the marketplace provider; the marketplace provider is not responsible for the App or its content and has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for it. If you access the App through any other platform, the equivalent platform terms and the platform provider's role as a third-party beneficiary apply to the extent required by that platform.

16. General

These Terms (with the Privacy Policy) 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.
