6. Billing, Payments, Cancellations, and EU Consumer Rights

Paid Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis. Your payment to Affirmuse LLC will automatically renew at the end of each subscription period unless you cancel or pause your subscription.

You may cancel or pause your subscription at any time. However, your cancellation or pause will only take effect after the current paid period ends. Until that time, you will retain full access to your current membership level. Afterward, your account will either revert to the free membership or remain paused, depending on your selection.

All payments are final. No refunds or credits will be granted for unused time, partial subscription periods, or early cancellations, except as required by law or as expressly stated in these Terms.

6.1 EU Customers: Right of Withdrawal for Digital Content

If you are a resident of the European Union, you may have a legal right to withdraw from your subscription contract within 14 days of purchase.

However, this right of withdrawal does not apply once access to digital content begins, provided that you have:

1. Explicitly agreed that access to the content should begin immediately, and
2. Acknowledged that you thereby lose your 14-day right of withdrawal.

At checkout, you will be asked to confirm the following:

“I agree to receive immediate access to digital content and waive my 14-day withdrawal right. (Required for EU compliance)”

If you do not check this box, you will not be able to complete your subscription.
This ensures full compliance with EU consumer protection laws.

6.2 Tax Rates:
Tax rates are calculated based on the information you provide and the applicable rate at the time of your monthly charge. These rates may change over time in accordance with local tax requirements in your country, state, territory, county, or city. Any change in tax rate will be automatically applied based on the account information you provide.

12.3 DMCA Policy (Digital Millennium Copyright Act)

12.3.1. Overview

Affirmuse LLC (“Affirmuse,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

All music and content available on Affirmuse are original works created, owned, and managed exclusively by Affirmuse LLC. However, due to the nature of music production, coincidental similarities with existing works may occur without intent. If you believe that any content we stream infringes your copyright, you may notify us under the DMCA, and we will promptly investigate your claim.

This policy explains how copyright owners can send us a valid DMCA Takedown Notice.

12.3.2. Requirements for a DMCA Takedown Notice

To file a valid DMCA Takedown Notice, you must provide a written notification that includes all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name is sufficient).
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed (for example, a link to your original work or a detailed description).
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material on Affirmuse.com, with information sufficient for us to locate it (such as the exact song title or URL).
4. Your full contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement of accuracy, made under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

12.3.3. Where to Send Your DMCA Notice

We strongly recommend submitting notices by email for faster processing. The Notice must be sent exclusively by email to dmca@affirmuse.com. No physical mail delivery is accepted.

By submitting a DMCA notice, you acknowledge that Affirmuse may share a copy of the notice, including your contact information, with legal advisors, service providers, or relevant authorities if necessary for processing or verifying the claim..

12.3.4. How We Respond

Upon receiving a complete and valid DMCA Takedown Notice:

• We will review the claim and determine whether the reported material should be removed or access disabled.
• Since all content on Affirmuse is created, owned and managed exclusively by us, there are no user-uploaded materials and therefore no counter-notice process for end users.

If we determine that the claim is valid, we will promptly remove or disable access to the identified content in good faith compliance with the DMCA.

12.3.5. Misuse of DMCA Notices

Submitting a false, fraudulent or misleading DMCA claim can result in legal consequences, including liability for damages, court costs, and attorneys’ fees under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

Please ensure you have a legitimate copyright claim before submitting a takedown notice.

12.3.6. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Any disputes or claims arising from this DMCA Policy, or from actions taken in response to a DMCA notice, are subject to the binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver set forth in the Affirmuse Terms of Use in Section 14.

12.3.7. Additional Information

Affirmuse LLC has designated a DMCA Agent registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Information about designated agents is publicly available through the Copyright Office’s DMCA Designated Agent Directory.

13 Limitation of Liability:
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Affirmuse LLC, its affiliates, officers, employees, licensors, and service providers shall not be liable for:

• any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages;
• any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities;
• any personal injury, property damage, emotional distress, or other harm allegedly arising from the use or misuse of the Affirmuse Service;
• any reliance on the content, affirmations, or outcomes promoted through the Affirmuse Service.

Liability Cap. In all cases, the total liability of Affirmuse LLC for any claim arising out of or relating to the Affirmuse Service shall not exceed the greater of:
(a) the amount you paid to Affirmuse LLC in the preceding one (1) month, or
(b) USD 30.00.

Exclusive Remedy. If you are dissatisfied with the Affirmuse Service, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue use of the Service.

Certain jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability for personal injury or gross negligence, so these exclusions may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by law.

Any claim you may have under these terms must be filed within one year from the date the issue arises, or it will be considered waived.

13.1 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Affirmuse LLC, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, licensors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in any way related to:

• your violation of these Terms,
• your misuse of the Affirmuse Service,

or your violation of any law, regulation, or third-party rights.

14. Dispute Resolution, Pre-Arbitration Notice, Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

14.1 Pre-Arbitration Notice Requirement

Before initiating any arbitration or other legal proceeding, you agree to first provide Affirmuse LLC with a written notice of your dispute (“Notice of Dispute”).

Your Notice must include:

• your full name and contact information,
• a clear description of the nature and factual basis of your claim, and
• the specific relief sought.

The Notice must be sent exclusively by email to legal@affirmuse.com. No physical mail delivery is accepted.

Upon receipt of your Notice, you and Affirmuse LLC agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days after we receive your Notice, either you or Affirmuse LLC may proceed to initiate arbitration.

Failure to comply with this Pre-Arbitration Notice procedure shall bar you from initiating arbitration.

14.2 Binding Individual Arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use, the Affirmuse Service, or any related products, content, or transactions—including but not limited to disputes about the interpretation, enforceability, applicability, or formation of this arbitration agreement—shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration, rather than in a court of law.

The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules (for disputes with individual consumers) or Commercial Arbitration Rules (for disputes with Enterprise Members, commercial users, or business entities), as modified by this clause.

You and Affirmuse LLC expressly agree that the arbitrator, not any court, shall have the exclusive authority to decide any dispute relating to the scope, validity, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or part of this agreement is void or voidable.

14.3 No Small Claims Court

All disputes shall be resolved exclusively through the arbitration process described in this Section. Neither party may bring any claim in small claims court or any other court, except solely to enforce an arbitration award.

14.4 Location and Procedure

Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration shall take place in the State where Affirmuse LLC is organized. If the parties cannot agree on a physical location, the arbitration shall be conducted virtually.

The arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered accordingly.

14.5 Governing Law

These Terms and any disputes arising under or relating to them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which Affirmuse LLC is organized, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, except where preempted by applicable U.S. federal law, including the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), which governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.

14.6 Jury Trial Waiver & Class Action Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND AFFIRMUSE LLC WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING.

YOU AND AFFIRMUSE LLC ALSO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

Unless both you and Affirmuse LLC otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

14.7 Costs of Arbitration

(a) Consumer Disputes (B2C)

For disputes with individual consumers under a Personal or Premium Membership, each party shall initially bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses and an equal share of the administrative fees and arbitrator’s fees.
However, the arbitrator may, in their discretion, reallocate such costs and award reasonable arbitration costs (including administrative fees, arbitrator fees, and attorneys’ fees) to the prevailing party if the arbitrator determines that such an allocation is fair and equitable under the circumstances.

In addition, for consumer claims with a total value of less than $500, Affirmuse LLC will advance the consumer’s share of the AAA filing fees. The arbitrator may reallocate such advanced fees in the final award if appropriate.

(b) Enterprise and Business Disputes (B2B)

For disputes with Enterprise Members, commercial users, or any business entity, the losing party shall bear all costs of the arbitration, including without limitation the administrative fees, arbitrator’s fees, and the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party, unless prohibited by applicable law.

In either case, any cost allocation ordered by the arbitrator shall be included in the final arbitration award and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15. About These Terms

Except as otherwise provided in this section or explicitly agreed upon in writing between you and Affirmuse LLC, these Terms represent the entire agreement between you and Affirmuse LLC and replace any prior agreements related to the subject matter of these Terms, whether written or oral. As mentioned above, additional terms and conditions governing your use of the Affirmuse Service are incorporated by reference, including but not limited to: Affirmuse User Guidelines, and Affirmuse Privacy Policy.

15.4 Severability and Waiver

Unless otherwise stated in these Terms, if any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The failure of Affirmuse or any third-party beneficiary to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be considered a waiver of the right to enforce that provision or any other provision of these Terms in the future.

15.5 Assignment

Affirmuse LLC reserves the right to assign or transfer any or all of these Terms, as well as any of its rights or obligations under these Terms, either in whole or in part.
