7. About these Terms

1. Introduction

Please read these Terms of Use (these "Terms") carefully as they govern your use of (which includes access to) Spotify's personalized services for streaming music and other content, including all of our websites and software applications that incorporate or link to these Terms (collectively, the "Spotify Service") and any music, videos, podcasts, audiobooks or other material that is made available through the Spotify Service (the "Content").

Use of the Spotify Service is subject to additional terms and conditions presented by Spotify, which are hereby incorporated by this reference into these Terms (collectively, "Agreements"). Please refer to Section 7 below for information about those additional terms and how we may change these Terms or the additional terms. To learn more about how Spotify collects, uses, shares and protects your personal data, please see the Spotify Privacy Policy.

By signing up for, or otherwise using, the Spotify Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, then you must not use the Spotify Service or access any Content.

Certain legislation in Australia may provide consumer guarantees or impose obligations which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified except to a limited extent. These Terms are subject to such legislation, including without limitation the Australian Consumer Law.

Service Provider

These Terms are between you and Spotify AB, Regeringsgatan 19, 111 53, Stockholm, Sweden.

Age and eligibility requirements

In order to use the Spotify Service and access any Content, you need to (1) be 13 years of age (or the equivalent minimum age in your home country) or older, (2) have parent or guardian consent if you are a minor in your home country; (3) have the power to enter a binding contract with us and not be barred from doing so under any applicable laws, and (4) reside in a country where the Service is available. You also promise that any registration information that you submit to Spotify is true, accurate, and complete, and you agree to keep it that way at all times. If you are a minor in your home country, your parent or guardian will need to enter into these Terms on your behalf. If you do not meet the minimum age requirements to use the Spotify Service and access any Content then you must not register as a user. In certain markets, Spotify may offer primary account holders the opportunity to allow access to a kids experience as part of a family subscription. By enabling such access, the primary account holder confirms they are the legal guardian of any user accessing the experience and that they give permission for the younger user to use Spotify.

2. The Spotify Service Provided by Us.

Spotify Service Options

We provide numerous Spotify Service options. Certain Spotify Service options are provided free-of-charge, while other options require payment before they can be accessed (the "Paid Subscriptions"). We may also offer special promotional plans, memberships, or services, including offerings of third-party products and services. We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties.

Trials

From time to time, we or others on our behalf may offer trials of Paid Subscriptions for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (a "Trial"). By using a Spotify Service via a Trial, you must agree to the Spotify Paid Subscription Terms and Conditions.

Third-Party Applications, Devices and Open Source Software

The Spotify Service may be integrated with, or may otherwise interact with, third-party applications, websites, and services ("Third-Party Applications") and third-party personal computers, mobile handsets, tablets, wearable devices, speakers, and other devices ("Devices"). Your use of such Third-Party Applications and Devices may be subject to additional terms, conditions and policies provided to you by the applicable third party. Spotify does not guarantee that Third-Party Applications and Devices will be compatible with the Spotify Service.

Service Limitations and Modifications

We use reasonable care and skill to keep the Spotify Service operational and to provide you with a personalized, immersive audio experience. However, our service offerings and their availability may change from time to time and subject to applicable laws, without liability to you; for example:

  • The Spotify Services may experience temporary interruptions due to technical difficulties, maintenance or testing, or updates, including those required to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
  • We aim to evolve and improve our Services constantly, and we may modify, suspend, or stop (permanently or temporarily) providing all or part of the Spotify Service (including particular functions, features, subscription plans and promotional offerings).
  • Our dynamic content offering is constantly evolving and adapting to the needs of the Spotify community. Spotify has no obligation to provide any specific content through the Spotify Service, and Spotify or the applicable owners may remove particular songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks and other Content without notice.

Your right to terminate these Terms if you no longer want to use the Spotify Service is set forth in Section 6 below.

If you have prepaid fees directly to Spotify for a Paid Subscription that Spotify discontinues prior to the end of your Pre-Paid Period (as that term is defined in the Payments and cancellations section below), Spotify will refund you the prepaid fees for the Pre-Paid Period for any unused part of your then current Paid Subscription after such discontinuation. Your account and billing information must be up to date in order for us to refund you.

Spotify has no liability to you, nor any obligation to provide a refund to you, in connection with internet or other service outages or failures that are caused by the actions of government authorities, other third parties or events beyond our control.

3. Your Use of the Spotify Service

Creating a Spotify account

You may need to create a Spotify account to use all or part of the Spotify Service, and this account must be created in your country of residence. Your username and password are for your personal use only and should be kept confidential. You understand that you are responsible for your use of your username and password (including any unauthorized use arising from your acts or omissions). Notify our Customer Service team immediately if your username or password is lost or stolen, or if you believe there has been unauthorized access to your account.

Spotify may reclaim, or require you to change, your username for any reason.

Your rights to use the Spotify Service

Access to the Spotify Services

Subject to your compliance with these Terms (including any other applicable terms and conditions), we grant to you limited, non-exclusive, revocable permission to make personal, non-commercial use of the Spotify Service and the Content (collectively, "Access"). You must only Access the version of the Spotify Service offered in your country of residence. This Access shall remain in effect unless and until terminated by you or Spotify. You agree that you will not redistribute, sell or or transfer the Spotify Service or the Content.

The Spotify software applications and the Content are licensed, not sold or transferred to you, and Spotify and its licensors retain ownership of all copies of the Spotify software applications and Content even after installation on your Devices.

Spotify's Proprietary Rights

The Spotify Service and the Content are the property of Spotify or Spotify's licensors. All Spotify trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, domain names, and any other features of the Spotify brand ("Spotify Brand Features") are the sole property of Spotify or its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any rights to use any Spotify Brand Features whether for commercial or non-commercial use.

You agree to abide by the Spotify User Guidelines and the Platform Rules and not to use the Spotify Service, the Content, or any part thereof in any manner not expressly permitted by these Terms (including any terms incorporated by reference).

Payments and cancellation

Paid Subscriptions

You may purchase a Paid Subscription directly from Spotify or through a third party either by:

  • paying a subscription fee in advance on a monthly basis or some other recurring interval disclosed to you prior to your purchase; or
  • pre-payment giving you access to the Spotify Service for a specific time period ("Pre-Paid Period").

Tax rates are calculated based on the information you provide and the applicable rate at the time of your monthly charge.

If you purchase access to a Paid Subscription through a third party, separate terms and conditions with such third party may apply to your use of the Spotify Service in addition to these Terms. If you purchase a Paid Subscription using a code, gift card, pre-paid offer, or other offer provided or sold by or on behalf of Spotify for access to a Paid Subscription ("Codes"), you must agree to the Spotify Card Terms.

If you purchase Audiobook Content outside of your Paid Subscription, your purchase will be governed by the Audiobook Purchase Terms and Conditions.

Price and tax changes

Spotify may from time to time change the price for the Paid Subscriptions, including recurring subscription fees, the Pre-Paid Period (for periods not yet paid), or Codes (defined above), and will communicate any price changes to you in advance on reasonable notice, in any case not less than 30 days. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. Subject to applicable law, by continuing to use the Spotify Service after the price change takes effect, you will have accepted the new price. If you do not agree to a price change, you can reject the change by unsubscribing from the applicable Paid Subscription prior to the price change going into effect.

Tax rates are based on the rates applicable at the time of your monthly charge. These amounts can change over time with local tax requirements in your country, state, territory or even city. Any change in Tax rate will be automatically applied based on the account information you provide.

The price of a Paid Subscription or Trial is specific to the version of the Spotify Service offered in your country of residence and you agree not to engage in any means to Access the Paid Subscription or Trial without paying the applicable price or to frustrate Spotify's legitimate attempts to collect payment for such Access.

Billing and Cancellation

Unless otherwise indicated (for example, if you have signed up for a Prepaid Period), Paid Subscriptions continue indefinitely until cancelled. You will be billed on a recurring basis on the first day of each billing period and you will pay and you authorise us (or the applicable third party, if you sign up through a third party) to charge your payment method the then-current subscription fee.

You may cancel your Paid Subscription at any time by logging into your Spotify account and following the prompts on the Account page or by clicking here and following the instructions. Unless otherwise indicated, cancellation will take effect from the end of the billing period in which you cancel and you will be downgraded to the free version of the Spotify Service. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods, except as expressly stated in these Terms.

If you have purchased a Paid Subscription using a Code, your subscription will automatically terminate at the end of the period stated in the Code, or when there is an insufficient pre-paid balance to pay for the Spotify Service.

Withdrawal right

If you sign up for a Trial, you agree that the withdrawal right for the Paid Subscription for which you are receiving a Trial ends fourteen (14) days after you start the Trial. If you don't cancel the Paid Subscription before the Trial ends, you lose your right of withdrawal and authorise Spotify to automatically charge you the agreed price each month until you cancel the Paid Subscription. For trials less than fourteen (14) days, you expressly consent to us providing you with the paid service immediately after the end of your Trial and that from that point you lose your right of withdrawal.

If you purchase a Paid Subscription with no Trial, you agree you have fourteen (14) days after your purchase to withdraw for any reason and must pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind. You expressly consent to us providing you with the service immediately following your purchase, that you lose your right of withdrawal, and authorise Spotify to charge you automatically each month until you cancel.

In addition, Brands must be transparent to our users about disclosing any endorsements or consideration provided to artists, songwriters, users, or any other party and must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and codes of practice when engaging in the foregoing practices.

Spotify shall not be required to act in any way that is prohibited under applicable Trade Control Laws, and it shall be in the sole discretion of Spotify to refrain from being directly or indirectly involved in the provision of products or services that may be prohibited under applicable Trade Control Laws.

4. Content and Intellectual Property Rights

User content

The content you post on the service

Spotify users may post, upload, or otherwise contribute content to the Spotify Service ("User Content"). For the avoidance of doubt, "User Content" includes all information, materials, messages and other communications, and any other content that is added, created, uploaded, submitted, distributed, or posted to the Spotify Service by users. For more information on User Content or other third-party content and its moderation, see our Platform Rules, information about Content Actions, our Safety & Privacy Center and our Intellectual Property Policy.

You are solely responsible for all User Content that you post.

You promise that, with respect to any User Content you post on Spotify, (1) you own or have the right to post such User Content; and (2) such User Content, or its use by Spotify pursuant to the license granted below, does not: (i) violate these Terms, applicable law, or the intellectual property or other rights of any third party; or (ii) imply any affiliation with or endorsement of you or your User Content by Spotify or any artist, band, label, or other individual or entity without the prior express written consent from Spotify or such individual or entity.

You agree not to solicit, access, generate, distribute or store any illegal or high impact content, such as child sexual exploitation material, pro-terror material, crime and violence material or specific types of drug-related material. Spotify reserves the right to remove, limit or disable access to any User Content, terminate these Terms (including any additional terms and conditions incorporated herein) or suspend or restrict your access to the Spotify Service at any time if you use the Spotify Service in breach of this clause.

We may provide you with the ability to post or share User Content in different ways on the Spotify Service, including by sending messages or communications to other Spotify users. In posting or sharing User Content or other information on the Spotify Service, please keep in mind that, depending on the method of posting or sharing, content and other information may be privately transmitted to one or more users or it may be publicly accessible, and may be used and re-shared by others on the Spotify Service and across the web, so please use caution in posting or sharing on the Spotify Service, and be mindful of your account settings. Spotify is not responsible for what you or others post or share on the Spotify Service.

Monitoring user content

Spotify may, but has no general obligation to, monitor or review User Content (whether publicly posted or privately shared). Spotify reserves the right to remove or disable access to any User Content if we believe or are informed that the User Content breaches these Terms of Use, any law or third party's rights, or any Spotify policies (such as the Spotify User Guidelines and the Platform Rules) that we publish or otherwise make available. Spotify may take these actions without prior notification to you. For more information on Spotify's actions against illegal content and content in violation of Spotify's policies (including our User Guidelines and Platform Rules), and for further details on how to report content or make a complaint, please refer to our Platform Rules, information about Content Actions and our Safety & Privacy Centre.

Licenses that you grant us

User Content

You retain ownership of your User Content when you post it to the Service. However, in order for us to make your User Content available on the Spotify Service and to provide you with certain features and functions, we do need a limited license from you to that User Content. Accordingly, you hereby grant to Spotify a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, fully paid, irrevocable, worldwide license to reproduce, make available, perform and display, translate, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, and otherwise use any such User Content through any medium, whether alone or in combination with other Content or materials, in any manner and by any means, method or technology, whether now known or hereafter created. Where applicable and to the extent permitted under applicable law, you also agree to waive, and not to enforce, any "moral rights" or equivalent rights, such as your right to be identified as the author of any User Content, including Feedback, and your right to object to derogatory treatment of such User Content. This clause does not otherwise modify Spotify's obligation to use your User Content in accordance with the licence above.

Feedback

If you provide ideas, suggestions, or other feedback in connection with your use of the Spotify Service or any Content ("Feedback"), such Feedback is not confidential and may be used by Spotify without restriction and without payment to you. Feedback is considered a type of User Content under these Terms.

Your Device

You also grant to us the right (1) to allow the Spotify Service to use the processor, bandwidth, and storage hardware on your Device in order to facilitate the operation of the Spotify Service, and (2) to provide advertising and other information to you, and to allow our business partners to do the same, as permitted in accordance with the Spotify Privacy Policy.

Content experience

In Understanding recommendations on Spotify, you can learn more about how our recommendation systems work, including how and why certain content is displayed to you. In any part of the Spotify Service, the Content that you access, including its selection and placement, may be influenced by commercial considerations, including Spotify's agreements with third parties.

Some Content licensed by, provided to, created by, or otherwise made available by Spotify (e.g., podcasts) may incorporate advertising, and Spotify is not responsible for any such advertising.

6. Problems and Disputes

Suspending and terminating the Spotify Services

These Terms will continue to apply to you until terminated by either you or Spotify. Spotify may terminate these Terms (including any additional terms and conditions incorporated herein) or suspend your access to the Spotify Service at any time if we believe you have materially or repeatedly breached any of these Terms, if we stop providing the Spotify Service or any material component thereof on reasonable notice to you, or as we believe necessary to comply with applicable law. If Spotify terminates these Terms or suspends your access to the Spotify Service due to your material or repeated breach of these Terms or as we believe necessary to comply with applicable law, you agree that Spotify shall, subject to applicable laws, have no liability or responsibility to you for that termination or suspension, and (except as expressly provided in these Terms or as required by any applicable law) Spotify will not refund any amounts that you have already paid. If Spotify terminates these Terms because we stop providing the Spotify Service or a material component of it, Spotify will endeavour to provide you with notice of the termination including additional details about the termination such as when it will become effective.

You may terminate these Terms at any time, in which case you may not continue accessing or using the Spotify Service. To learn how to terminate your Spotify account, please use the Customer Support resources on our About Us page.

Sections 4 (Content and Intellectual Property Rights), 3 (Your Use of the Spotify Service), 2 (The Spotify Service Provided by Us), 6 (Problems and Disputes), 7 (About These Terms) herein, as well as any other sections of these Terms that, either explicitly or by their nature, must remain in effect even after termination of these Terms, shall survive termination.

Warranty disclaimers

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so the exclusion and limitations in this section may not apply to you and nothing will affect your statutory rights (including under the Australian Consumer Law).

Spotify will provide the Spotify Service using reasonable care and skill and in accordance with any specification of the Spotify Service set out in these Terms, however, subject to that, the Spotify Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without any warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. Further, Spotify and all owners of the content disclaim any express, implied, and statutory warranties regarding the content, including warranties of satisfactory quality, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. While Spotify and any owner of content cannot guarantee that the Spotify Service or content is free of malware or other harmful components, Spotify uses reasonable efforts consistent with industry standards to prevent malware or harmful components in the Spotify Service. In addition, Spotify makes no representation regarding, nor does it warrant or assume any responsibility for, any third-party applications (or the content thereof), user content, devices or any product or service advertised, promoted or offered by a third party on or through the Spotify Service or any hyperlinked website, and Spotify is not responsible for any transactions between you and any third-party providers of the foregoing. No advice or information whether oral or in writing obtained by you from Spotify shall create any additional warranty on behalf of Spotify under these Terms. While using the Spotify Service, you may have access to explicit content filtering features, but use of these features may still result in some explicit content being served and you should not rely on such features to filter all explicit content. This section applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Limitation of Liability and Time for Filing a Claim

Except where Spotify has liability under the law, you agree that your sole and exclusive remedy for any problems or dissatisfaction with the Spotify Service is to uninstall any Spotify software and to stop using the Spotify Service. You agree that Spotify has no obligation or liability arising from or related to third-party applications or the content thereof made available through or in connection with the Spotify Service, and while your relationship with such third-party applications may be governed by separate agreements with such third parties, your sole and exclusive remedy, as with respect to Spotify, for any problems or dissatisfaction with any third-party applications or the content thereof, is to uninstall or stop using such third-party applications.

In no event will Spotify, its officers, shareholders, employees, agents, directors, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, suppliers, or licensors be liable for (1) any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages; (2) any loss of data, business, or profits, in all cases arising out of the use of or inability to use the Spotify Service, devices, third-party applications, or third-party application content; or (3) aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Spotify Service, third-party applications, or third-party application content more than the greater of (a) the amounts paid by you to Spotify during the twelve months prior to the first claim; or (b) AUD$30.00. Any liability we do have for losses you suffer is strictly limited to losses that were reasonably foreseeable.

For clarification, these terms do not limit Spotify's liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury to the extent that applicable law would prohibit such a limitation and for any other liability that, by applicable law, may not be limited or excluded.

Except where such restriction is prohibited under applicable law, any claim arising under these terms must be commenced within two (2) years after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission, or default giving rise to the claim; and there shall be no right to any remedy for any claim not asserted within that time period.

Third Party Rights

You acknowledge and agree that the owners of the Content and certain distributors (such as app store providers) are intended beneficiaries of these Terms and have the right to enforce these Terms directly against you. Other than as set out in this section, these Terms are not intended to grant rights to anyone except you and Spotify, and in no event shall these Terms create any third-party beneficiary rights.

If you have downloaded any of our mobile software applications (each, an "App") from the Apple Inc. ("Apple") App Store or if you are using the App on an iOS device, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the following notice regarding Apple. These Terms are between you and Spotify only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the Spotify Service and the content thereof. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Spotify Service. In the event of any failure of the Spotify Service to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the applicable purchase price for the App to you; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Spotify Service. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Spotify Service or your possession or use of the Spotify Service, including: (1) product liability claims; (2) any claim that the Spotify Service fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (3) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation; and (4) claims with respect to intellectual property infringement. Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the Spotify Service or your possession and use of the App infringe that third party's intellectual property rights. You agree to comply with any applicable third-party terms, when using the Spotify Service. Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary of these Terms.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Spotify harmless from and against any third party claims (including direct losses, damages, reasonable expenses, reasonable attorney fees and costs arising from such claims) made against Spotify arising out of or related to: (1) your breach of any of these Terms (including any additional Spotify terms and conditions incorporated herein), including but not limited to any privacy or intellectual property breaches; (2) any User Content you post or otherwise contribute; and (3) any activity in which you engage on or through the Spotify Service.

7. About these Terms

Under applicable law, you may have certain rights that can't be limited by a contract. These terms are in no way intended to restrict those rights.

Changes

We may make changes to these Terms (including any additional Spotify terms and conditions incorporated by reference herein) from time to time by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means (before they take effect), including by posting a revised Agreement on the applicable Spotify Service (provided that, for material changes, we will communicate such changes to you in advance on reasonable notice and seek to supplement such notice by email, an in-service pop-up message, or other means). Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the revised Terms, or other Spotify terms and conditions, incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified you of such changes.

If you disagree with the changes, you can terminate your account before the changes take effect. Your use of the Spotify Service following any changes to these Terms will constitute your acceptance of such changes. If you do not wish to continue using the Spotify Service under the updated Terms, you may terminate your account by contacting us. The effective date set forth at the top of this document indicates when these Terms were last changed.

Entire Agreement

Other than as stated in this section or as explicitly agreed upon in writing between you and Spotify, these Terms constitute all the terms and conditions agreed upon between you and Spotify and supersede any prior agreements in relation to the subject matter of these Terms, whether written or oral.

As noted above, other terms and conditions, guidelines and policies governing use of the Spotify Service are incorporated herein by reference. These include the following (a) additional terms and conditions related to specific services offered on the Spotify Service: the Spotify Paid Subscription Terms and Conditions; Spotify Audiobook Purchase Terms and Conditions; Spotify's Card Terms; and the Spotify Support Community Terms; and (b) guidelines and policies: the Spotify Privacy Policy; Spotify User Guidelines; Spotify Platform Rules and the Spotify Intellectual Property Policy.

These additional terms and conditions and guidelines and policies may be changed by Spotify from time to time by posting the amended terms or policies on the Spotify Service. For any material changes to the additional terms and conditions, you will be provided with notice of such changes taking effect. For any changes to the guidelines or policies, the time frame for such policy terms to come into effect and the way in which we notify you of material amendments will depend on the nature of the change and the circumstances giving rise to the need to change the policy. Some policies may come into immediate effect, for example, as a result of content or consumer safety requirements or when a policy has been updated for clarity but without changing our guidelines. If you disagree with any changes, you can terminate your account pursuant to Section 6.

Severability and Waiver

Unless as otherwise stated in these Terms, should any provision of these Terms be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason or to any extent, the remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected, and the application of that provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

Any failure by Spotify or any third-party beneficiary to enforce these Terms or any provision thereof shall not waive Spotify's or the applicable third-party beneficiary's right to do so.

Assignment

Spotify may assign any or all of these Terms, and may assign or delegate, in whole or in part, any of its rights or obligations under these Terms. You may not assign these Terms, in whole or in part, nor transfer or sub-license your rights under these Terms, to any third party.
