Membership Agreement

 

Membership Agreement (STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS) FOR
Coolstreams' Membership Listening Options Program
(Membership Listening Options)

Welcome to Coolstreams, Inc. / Coolstreams.com's (Coolstreams) Membership Listening Options Program ("Membership Listening Options"). Before you can gain access and listen to Coolstreams' Membership Listening Options offerings (including "Programs On-Demand," "Fresh Cuts," or  "MP3 Coolstreams"), or take advantage of any Membership Listening Options, you must read and accept the terms of Coolstreams' Membership Agreement below. The Membership Agreement provides important information about the Membership Listening Options and details your rights and obligations as a Member. From time to time it may be necessary for Coolstreams to update or revise certain portions of this Membership Agreement. By making voluntary monetary Donations (contributions) to qualify for the Membership Listening Options and accepting the Membership Agreement you agree that Coolstreams may change the terms of this Membership Agreement. If Coolstreams makes any material changes or revisions to the Membership Agreement, we will provide notice to you by email fifteen (15) days in advance. If you don't agree to the changes proposed by Coolstreams, or to any of the terms in this Membership Agreement, your only remedy is to make no further contributions to Coolstreams and/or terminate your  Coolstreams Membership.  Contributions are not refundable if we are no longer able to provide any Membership Listening Options, however, contributions may be refunded for unused portions of the Membership Period only, and only if we are financially able to make such refunds.

1. BASICS OF THE MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

This Agreement constitutes your entire agreement with Coolstreams and governs your use of the Membership Listening Options.

2. CONTRIBUTIONS AND MEMBERSHIP LEVEL INFORMATION

Membership Levels are no longer awarded and are not required to access Membership Listening Options.  If you were awarded a Membership Level under an older Membership Level arrangement, it may allow you to receive a discount on Membership Listening Options as long as we are able to provide such an offer.  We cannot guarantee that any such discounts on Membership Listening Options will be offered indefinitely.

Coolstreams reserves the right to change our Membership Listening Options, our Membership Levels, as well as the Membership Listening Options offered at any Membership Levels, at any time and Coolstreams will provide notice of any such change at least fifteen (15) days in advance in the same manner described above for changes to the Membership Agreement. If you have questions about Coolstreams' Membership Levels that are not answered at this link, please contact Coolstreams by email at members@musicsojourn If you disagree with the changes to our Membership Listening Options and/or Membership Levels, you may let your Membership lapse at any time, but Coolstreams will not refund any portion of contributions made to support our service.

General Information about Coolstreams:
Without Membership support, Coolstreams will cease to exist, because Membership Support is our primary means of support!  We do NOT currently receive any kind of funding from Grants or Foundations, however, Coolstreams is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization (see more details here >>>).  We do not earn enough revenue from ads on the site over an entire year to cover the costs of the streaming and other operating costs for one month!  We keep a small number of NON-INTRUSIVE banner ads (meaning no obnoxious pop-up ads), plus affiliate links on the site to help with the costs offering our Free Use listening options.

Everyone who supports us at any level or by any method really wins because it keeps our programming available without commercial influence. We also know some folks can afford to support us more than others, so we have developed extra services and premiums to encourage your generosity!
