1. Platform Purpose
RadioCloud provides broadcasting tools, auto-podcast replay, track analytics, advertiser tools, AI assistance, monetization features, and more. We serve as the infrastructure provider — you control the content, we handle the tech.
2. Account Holder Responsibilities
When you register or operate a station under RadioCloud, you agree to:
- Use your account responsibly and lawfully. You must own or have the right to broadcast all content you upload or stream.
- Manage your users and guests. You’re responsible for any activity on your station, including DJs, guests, or admins you authorize.
- Keep your credentials secure. Don’t share access to your dashboard unless absolutely necessary.

- You retain ownership of all your original audio, video, and uploads.
- You’re responsible for ensuring your content does not violate copyright or broadcasting laws.
- For licensed music, you are responsible for complying with any required royalties, including registering with organizations like SoundExchange, BMI, ASCAP, or international equivalents. If you’re already registered via another provider (e.g. your legacy radio station), please notify us to ensure we apply the correct handling.
4. Advertiser Responsibility
- RadioCloud gives you tools to create branded landing pages, show results, and build relationships with advertisers.
- You are responsible for disclosing sponsored content or paid promotions in accordance with FTC regulations or equivalent laws in your country.

- Payments are distributed on a rolling basis. You must provide valid tax and payment information to receive disbursements.
- Chargebacks or disputes caused by your content may result in temporary suspension.
7. Termination & Suspension
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that:
- Repeatedly violate content or usage policies

- We offer the platform as-is and make no guarantees regarding uninterrupted service or third-party integrations (e.g. YouTube).
- We are not liable for any losses due to licensing mismanagement, unauthorized content, or user-generated issues.
10. Collaboration Policy (For Agencies & White-Label Users)
If you're using RadioCloud on behalf of clients (radio stations, creators, or brands):
- You're responsible for managing their onboarding, licensing compliance, and agreement with us.
- We offer optional white-label or managed service partnerships under separate agreements.
11. Policy Updates
We may update these terms periodically. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
