MusicBeacon Terms and Conditions

Please read these terms carefully before using our app.

Welcome to MusicBeacon's Terms and Conditions of Use (these "Terms"). This is a contract between you and Appventiq (Pty) Ltd ("MusicBeacon", "we", "us", or "our") and we want you to know yours and our rights before you use the MusicBeacon mobile application ("MusicBeacon" or the "App"). Please take a few moments to read these Terms before enjoying the App, because once you access, view or use the App, you are going to be legally bound by these Terms.

Please also read our Community Guidelines (which form part of these Terms) and our Privacy Policy.

Please be aware that if you subscribe to premium services for a term (the "Initial Term"), then the terms of your subscription will be automatically renewed for additional periods of the same duration as the Initial Term at MusicBeacon's then-current fee for such services, unless you cancel your subscription in accordance with Section 6 below.

MusicBeacon Rules

Before you can use the App, you will need to register for an account ("Account"). In order to create an Account you must:

  • be at least 13 years old;
  • be legally permitted to use the App by the laws of your home country;
  • connect your Spotify account to share and discover music.

Please note that we monitor for underage use and we will terminate, suspend or ask you to verify your Account if we have reason to believe that you may be underage.

You can create an Account via manual registration, using your Apple ID, or by using your Spotify login details. If you create an Account using third-party login details, you authorize us to access, display and use certain information from your account (e.g. profile pictures, music preferences, location information).

Unfortunately, we cannot allow you to use another person's MusicBeacon account or to share your MusicBeacon account with any other person without permission. You are responsible for ensuring that any use of your account complies with these Terms.
