11. Third-Party Content

Podcrash is a distributor (and not a publisher) of content supplied by third parties and users of the Services. Accordingly, Podcrash has no more editorial control over such content than a public library, bookstore, or newsstand. Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, or other information or content expressed or made available by third parties, including information providers or any user of the Services, are those of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of Podcrash. Neither Podcrash nor any third-party provider of information guarantees any content’s accuracy, completeness, or usefulness, nor its merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose. Refer to Sections 3 and 4 above for the complete provisions governing limitation of liabilities and disclaimers of warranty.
 
In many instances, the content available through the Services represents the opinions and judgments of the respective information provider or users not under contract with Podcrash. Podcrash neither endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, or statement made on the Services. Under no circumstances will Podcrash be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on information obtained through the Services. You are responsible for evaluating the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, opinion, advice, or other content available through the Services.
 

12. Terms of Sale

The following terms apply to your purchases or subscriptions related to the Services.
 
A. Purchase Qualifications; Account Security
To purchase a product or subscription related to the Services, you must be a registered Podcrash User and comply with these Terms of Use. You acknowledge that you are responsible for maintaining the security of and restricting access to your account and password. You agree to accept responsibility for all purchases and other activities under your account. Podcrash sells its products only to those users who can legally purchase using one of the accepted payment methods. If you are under 18, you may make purchases on Podcrash only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. Podcrash reserves the right to refuse or cancel orders or terminate accounts at any time at its sole discretion.
 
B. Payment Method and Terms
We accept payments made through PayPal and Paymentwall for the purchase of merchandise or subscriptions through the Services. By submitting an order through Podcrash, you authorize Podcrash or its designated payment processor to charge the account you specify for the purchase amount. All payments are to be made in United States Dollars.
 
C. Podcrash Wallet
Podcrash may, at its sole discretion, issue an account balance associated with your account (the “Podcrash Wallet”). The Podcrash Wallet represents no legal currency, financial / bank account, or payment instrument. The purpose of the Podcrash Wallet is to function as a prepaid balance to purchase Services. Podcrash may, at its sole discretion, impose a maximum account balance on your Podcrash Wallet. Within any twenty-four-hour period, the total amount stored, spent, or deposited into your Podcrash Wallet may not, in the aggregate, exceed USD 500 (the “Maximum”) or its equivalent in your applicable local currency. Attempts to deposit funds over the Maximum may result in a temporary deposit hold until the activity falls below the Maximum. Podcrash reserves the right to change or impose new Podcrash Wallet balance and usage limits at any time.
You will be alerted to any material changes to the Podcrash Wallet balance and usage limits within sixty days before the entry into force of any applicable changes. Continued use and activity of your Podcrash account over thirty days after the entry into force of the relevant changes will constitute your acceptance of the changes. The only remedies for non-acceptance or non-agreeance with the applicable changes would be the voluntary termination of your Podcrash account or the voluntary discontinuation of using the Podcrash Wallet. Podcrash shall not be obligated to refund or replace any remaining balance you have in your Podcrash Wallet in the event of voluntary termination or discontinuation of use.
Funds in your Podcrash Wallet may be used solely to purchase Services related to Podcrash. Podcrash Wallet funds are non-refundable and non-transferable. Funds in your Podcrash Wallet do not constitute a personal property right and have no value outside Podcrash. Funds in your Podcrash Wallet have no cash value and are not exchangeable for any currency. Any funds in your Podcrash Wallet deemed unclaimed property may be turned over to the applicable authority.
 
D. Delivery
Any tangible property purchased through the Services will be shipped to FOB Shipping Point. The title to such products passes from Podcrash to you upon shipment. Concerning products or services you purchase through the Services, you acknowledge and agree that upon making such purchases available to you (or to their intended, authorized recipients), Podcrash will have fully satisfied its obligation to deliver or otherwise provide such services, regardless of any failure or inability to use such services.
 
E. Product and Service Descriptions and Availability, Errors
Podcrash and its suppliers continually upgrade and revise their products and services to provide you with new products and services. Podcrash may revise, discontinue or modify products or services without prior notice to customers, and products or services may become available with notice. Podcrash shall have no liability if a product or service that has been ordered is unavailable. If necessary, Podcrash reserves the right to substitute items of equal or more excellent value when an item or service is unavailable, or Podcrash may cancel the order.
We attempt to be as accurate as possible and eliminate errors in the Services. However, we do not warrant that any product, service description, photograph, pricing, or other information is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. In the event of an error, whether on the Services, in an order confirmation, in processing an order, delivering a product or service, or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly if necessary (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged. In addition, instead of a refund as provided in this paragraph, we may provide you with a merchandise or service credit with a value equal to the amount charged to your account. Podcrash reserves the right to determine and modify the exact nature of any such merchandise or service credit from time to time, including conversion into one or more different types of merchandise or service credits. Your sole remedy for such an error is to cancel your order and obtain a refund or credit as set forth above. To request a refund, email a request to support@podcrash.com
 
F. Taxes
Merchandise sold by Podcrash and shipped to a destination in the United Kingdom, as well as services purchased by residents of the United Kingdom, may be subject to sales tax. Additionally, users ordering merchandise to be shipped to a destination outside of the United Kingdom may be subject to third-party brokerage or customs fees and eligible VAT fees; these fees are not determined and cannot be modified by Podcrash, and no advance estimate can be provided. You are responsible for any applicable sales or use tax, duties, or other governmental taxes or fees payable in connection with your purchase. Suppose you do not pay such sales, other taxes, or fees on a transaction. In that case, you will be responsible for such taxes or fees if they are later determined to be payable on such sale, and Podcrash reserves the right to collect such taxes or other fees from you at any time.
 
G. Refunds and Returns
The customer must inspect all merchandise upon delivery. If any box looks dented or damaged in any way, the driver must make a notation and should mark any damages. Boxes opened later, and then damage noticed without the driver making a notation is considered concealed damage. Some shipping companies only sometimes cover full refunds on concealed-damaged items. Podcrash is not responsible for damage incurred during shipping. There are no returns or cancellations for any intangible property or services purchased from Podcrash, including, without limitation, paid subscriptions and Lessons.
 
Returns are permitted only in the event of an error committed by Podcrash. You must email or call first for a return authorization number; merchandise can only be returned with a written authorization number. Items must be unopened, in new condition, and returned in original shipping containers. All sales are final, noncancelable, and nonrefundable except as expressly outlined in this Agreement or as otherwise determined by Podcrash at its sole discretion.
 

13. Copyright Complaints

Podcrash owns, protects, and enforces copyrights in its creative material and respects others’ copyright properties. You are prohibited from uploading, posting, or otherwise transmitting any materials that violate another party’s intellectual property rights on the Services. When we receive proper notification under our DMCA Policy, we promptly remove or restrict access to the alleged infringing materials and terminate the accounts of repeat offenders. Currently, Podcrash’s DMCA Policy is incorporated into these Terms of Use.
 

14. Miscellaneous

These Terms of Use (which at this moment incorporate by reference any other provisions applicable to the use of the Services, including, but not limited to, any supplemental terms governing the use of particular material contained on the Services and any operating rules for the Services established by Podcrash) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter. The provisions of these Terms of Use will be deemed severable, and the unenforceability of any one or more provisions will not affect the enforceability of any other. In addition, if any provision of these Terms of Use, for any reason, is declared to be unenforceable, the parties will substitute an enforceable provision that, to the maximum extent possible under applicable law, preserves the intentions of the original provision. These Terms of Use shall be construed by and governed by the applicable laws of the United Kingdom. The exclusive venue for all litigation regarding these Terms shall be in London, United Kingdom. You agree that any portion of these Terms found to be invalid or unenforceable shall be modified, to the extent allowed by law, to allow for the enforcement of the original intended meaning of the portion found to be invalid or unenforceable.
