Article 2 – Presentation of the Deezer Free Service

The Deezer Free Service is a free advertising-funded on-demand service for streaming sound Recordings and other musical and cultural content (such as podcasts, radio stations and in certain territories, audiobooks) (hereinafter the “Recordings”), with no download or tethered download features, with audio and display advertising, on any device (whether portable or non-portable) on an unlimited basis (hereinafter the “Deezer Free Service”) to each registered user (hereinafter the “Deezer Free User”).

The Deezer Free Service includes personalised music, playlists and other content recommendations.

Streaming is possible track by track, by creating playlists, or via radio stations.

Article 3 – Access to and use of the Deezer Free Service

The use of the Deezer Free Service requires a high-speed Internet connection for personal computers and an Internet service for portable devices. These connections are not provided by DEEZER, therefore the Deezer Free User must first subscribe to a high-speed Internet and/or mobile Internet offer in order to use the Deezer Free Service.

A mobile Internet connection via third or fourth generation (3G or 4G) mobile technology is highly recommended.

The music catalogue available as part of the Deezer Free Service is linked to the agreements in force with the rights-holders and may therefore change. DEEZER cannot guarantee the availability of any given track or album or any artist or group in the Deezer Free Service catalogue.

Moreover, DEEZER cannot guarantee that any given track, album, artist or group in the Deezer Free Service catalogue will be available indefinitely. DEEZER assumes no liability for the withdrawal of any part of the catalogue content made available.

As a Deezer Free User, you can activate the Deezer Free Service on a personal computer (PC or Mac) and a compatible portable device. The Deezer Free Service is only accessible from one connection at a time (registered personal computer or compatible portable device). DEEZER has the technical means to verify multiple simultaneous connections from the same account and is therefore able to detect any attempts at multiple connections.

Article 4 – Availability and modification of the Deezer Free Service

The Deezer Free Service can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, within the limits of the Terms and in particular the terms of Article 9 hereunder.

In addition, DEEZER has the right to temporarily remove access to the Deezer Free Service, without prior notice or compensation, where necessary to carry out maintenance or ensure continuity of the Deezer Free Service. DEEZER is also entitled to shut the Service down permanently with no compensation payable. Any permanent shutdown of the Deezer Free Service will be notified via the Site or via the Application.

- Via sales and marketing partners: DEEZER allows its Users to access the Services on several types of audio device (speakers, car radios, etc.) through partnerships with the manufacturers of these devices.

The User may also choose to make his/her playlists “private” at the time of creation, or after they have been created, by clicking on the “Edit” button.

DEEZER gathers, collects and stores the Data as set out above for the following purposes:

DEEZER cannot however guarantee the confidentiality of Data made public by the User.

The Services may include links to third-party websites or external sources. The User acknowledges that the Policy only applies to the use of the Services, and does not in any way cover the Data collected and/or processed by the third-party websites or external sources to which the Services might link.

Article 8 – Cookies and other trackers

8.1 What is a tracker?

A tracker is a cookie, beacon, tag, invisible pixel or any other system capable of storing and/or collecting information relating to navigation on the User’s terminal (computer, tablet, etc.) and/or their activity and the advertisements displayed on the Services, subject to their prior consent and except where the User has objected.

8.2 Purposes of the trackers used on the Services

Trackers allow the Services to recognise the User, guide navigation through a particular page and offer the User additional services, such as improving the browsing experience, ensuring the security of his/her connection or personalising page content based on his/her interests.

Trackers allow the storage of information relating to the registration or access to Services, the implementation of security measures or even the adaptation of the presentation of the Services to meet the display preferences of the terminal (language, operating system, etc.). They also allow access to the personal account.

Trackers allow the creation of statistics, logs of visits to and use of the various parts that make up the Services (pages and content visited, path taken), as well as the creation of surveys to improve the content offered on the Services.

Advertising trackers allow the analysis of the use of the Services and the advertisements displayed in order to display advertisements that are appropriate to the User’s interests on the Services or on partner sites. These trackers allow more particularly (i) the identification and counting of the advertisements displayed, (ii) the counting of the number of Users who click on each advertisement and (iii), as the case may be, the tracking of the subsequent actions carried out by those Users on the pages to which the advertisements lead.

DEEZER may also give its partners access to the Data collected through trackers so that they can carry out consumer behaviour studies.

DEEZER authorises certain commercial partners to insert advertising trackers into the Services and/or into the advertisements displayed. The insertion and use of trackers are subject to the privacy policies of these third parties. For example, trackers are inserted by the company Smart Adserver, subject to the User’s agreement, in order to optimise the display of advertisements. The use of these trackers is subject to the privacy policies of Smart Adserver, which can be consulted here. DEEZER includes social network applications in its Services, which allow the User to share content from the Site or the Application with other people or to make these other people aware of what they are listening to or their opinion regarding content from the Services. This is particularly the case with the “Share” and “Like” buttons on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.

The social network that supplies such an interactive button is likely to identify the User through this button, even if the User has not used this button during his/her use of the Services.

DEEZER invites the User to consult the privacy policies of these social networks to find out the purposes, in particular advertising purposes, for which the navigation information collected through these interactive buttons might be used. These privacy policies must in particular allow the User to exercise their choice on these social networks, in particular by changing the settings of his/her user account on each of these networks.

8.3 Types of Data collected by trackers

The information stored by cookies and other trackers, for a limited period (see Article 7.9 above), relates in particular to the pages visited, the advertisements on which the User has clicked, the type of browser used and the information entered on a site, in order to avoid having to enter it again.

8.4 User’s acceptance or rejection of trackers

The User may at any time express and modify his/her wishes regarding trackers.

The User may configure his/her browser to accept or reject trackers from DEEZER or third parties, on a case-by-case basis, or on a permanent basis.

The setting chosen might modify and/or restrict access to and use of the Services.

DEEZER does not accept any liability for the consequences of impaired operation of the Services resulting from DEEZER’s inability to save or consult the trackers necessary for the operation of the Site and/or the Application that are rejected or deleted by the User.

In order to make a decision regarding his/her browser, the User may consult the following pages:

• Internet Explorer™: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17442/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies

• Firefox™: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences

The User may also configure the settings on his/her browser so that it sends a code to websites indicating that he/she does not wish to be tracked (the “Do Not Track” option). For:

• Internet Explorer™: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17288/windows-internet-explorer-11-use-do-not-track

DEEZER provides the User with a tool for controlling tracker settings during the use of the Services: Privacy settings.

If the User wishes to obtain further information on cookies and other trackers, his/her rights and how to block them, he/she may consult the http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ website.

Article 9 – Disclaimer of warranties

The Deezer Free User declares that he has been informed of the scope and limitations of the Internet network.

As a result, DEEZER disclaims all liability for any malfunction in access to the Deezer Free Service, the speed at which the pages of the Site and/or Application open and can be read, the listening speed of any tracks, the temporary or permanent inaccessibility of the Deezer Free Service, and the fraudulent use by third parties of the information provided on the Site or Application.

It is therefore the Deezer Free User’s duty to protect his/her equipment against any form of intrusion and/or virus contamination, for which DEEZER can never be held liable. DEEZER can never be held liable for any malfunction of or damage caused to the Deezer Free User’s equipment.

More broadly, DEEZER disclaims any liability if a breach of any of its obligations results from acts of nature, forces, or causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, Internet failures, computer equipment failures, telecommunication equipment failures, other equipment failures, electrical power failures, strikes, labour disputes, riots, insurrections, civil disturbances, shortages of labour or materials, fires, floods, storms, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental actions, orders of domestic or foreign courts or tribunals, non-performance of third parties, or loss of or fluctuations in heat, light or air conditioning and more broadly any unstoppable and unforeseen event which prevents orders being carried out successfully.

DEEZER disclaims all liability should it transpire that the Deezer Free Service is incompatible with certain equipment and/or features of the Deezer Free User’s equipment.

Finally, the Deezer Free User is solely liable for his/her use of the Deezer Free Service and cannot hold DEEZER liable for any claim and/or proceedings against him/her in this regard. The Deezer Free User shall be responsible for any claim, complaint or objection and more broadly any proceedings brought against DEEZER by a third party in relation to the Deezer Free User’s use of the Deezer Free Service.

Article 10 – Intellectual property

The general structure of the Site, the Application, the Deezer Free Service and all elements composing it (such as but not limited to the logos, domain names, tracks or videos, and their associated elements such as the photos, images, texts and biography of the authors, artists and/or any legal beneficiary on the tracks or videos, as well as the visuals on the packaging) are the exclusive property of DEEZER and/or its licensors (notably the record and video producers, the record companies, authors’ rights societies, etc.).

These elements are protected by intellectual property law and other laws, and particularly copyright. You may only use these elements for the purpose of using the Deezer Free Service, in accordance with the Terms.

Any representation of all or part of the Site, the Application, the Deezer Free Service and/or the elements composing them (as described above), by any means, without the express consent of DEEZER, is therefore forbidden and would be treated as an infringement punishable by law.

Any hyperlink to the Site and use of the “framing” technique (a programming technique that makes it possible to divide browser windows into separate frames in order to display the content of an external website) or the “in-line linking” technique (programming to make one element extracted from another site disappear into a web page, which saves storage space on the hard drive on which the Site is hosted and makes it possible to hide the initial content of which the element is part from an uninformed user) is strictly prohibited. Any unfair use of a DEEZER account (such use for instance aiming to artificially or abnormally increase the number of times certain specific music tracks are played), by any automated processes such as robots and scripts or any other means, is strictly prohibited.

The Recordings on the Deezer Free Service are digital files protected by national and international copyright and related rights. They may only therefore be listened to within a private or family setting. Any use for a non-private purpose will render the Deezer Free User liable to civil and/or criminal proceedings. Any other use of the Recordings is strictly forbidden and more particularly any download or attempt to download, any transfer or attempt to transfer whether permanently or temporarily onto the hard drive of a computer or any other device (music players in particular), any ripping or burning or attempt to rip or burn any file or files onto a CD or any other medium is expressly forbidden. Any resale, exchange or renting of these files is strictly prohibited.

The Deezer Free User acknowledges that the Recordings made available to him/her within the Site and Application are protected by protective technical measures set up by DEEZER in order to prevent or limit, depending on the technology offered, the unauthorised use of the Recordings.

The Deezer Free User agrees not to bypass these protective technical measures by any means, for the purpose of downloading these files and enabling them to be stored on his/her reception terminal regardless of what that is (computer, mobile phone, music player or other portable music disc player, etc.).

Terms of Use and Sale for the Deezer Web Service

Article 1 – General

Welcome to the Terms of Use and Sale for the Deezer Web Service, which includes the website accessible at http://www.deezer.com (hereinafter the “Site”), and its desktop, tablet and mobile applications (hereinafter the “Application”).

The Site and Application are created, developed and operated by DEEZER S.A. (hereinafter “DEEZER”) a French corporation listed in the Trade and Companies Register under number 511 716 573, the registered office of which is located at 12 rue d'Athènes 75009 Paris – FRANCE.

These conditions of use and sale (hereinafter the “Terms”) govern exclusively the Deezer Web Service provided by DEEZER. These conditions apply to the exclusion of any other terms, particularly those that apply to other Services – free or paid – offered on the Site.

The purpose of these Terms is to define the contractual and commercial relationship between DEEZER, on the one hand, and any subscriber to the Deezer Web Service (hereinafter the “Subscriber”), on the other hand.

The use of the Site, the Application and the Deezer Web Service is authorised for personal and private use only, therefore any other use, particularly in public premises and for businesses, is strictly forbidden.

Subscription and access to the Deezer Web Service are strictly dependent on prior acceptance of all of these Terms (including the Privacy Policy) without restriction or reservation.

Article 2 – Presentation of the Deezer Web Service

The Deezer Web Service is a service offered and operated by DEEZER that makes it possible, subject to consent to these Terms, from a personal computer only, to listen to unlimited sound recordings and other musical and cultural content (such as podcasts, radio stations and in certain territories, audiobooks) (hereinafter the “Recordings”) in higher quality audio (than is made available through DEEZER’s other services, where available) and without any advertisements. As the Deezer Web Service is not accessible via DEEZER’s mobile and tablet applications, the Subscriber will only have access to the Deezer Free Service via these applications.

The Deezer Web Service includes personalised music, playlists and other content recommendations.

From the Site, once the Subscriber has signed up, he/she has access to all the features of the Deezer Web Service.

The main characteristics of the Deezer Web Service are as follows:

- Unlimited access to listen to the Recordings on the Deezer Web Service;

- No advertising;

- High quality sound.

The Deezer Web Service is accessible to the Subscriber until the end of his/her subscription as stated on the subscription page of the Site at the time of subscribing or the cancellation of his/her subscription under the Terms hereunder.

Once the subscription has expired or has been cancelled, unlimited access and listening are no longer authorised.

The Recordings can be streamed throughout the entire subscription period, but cannot be downloaded, transferred to or burned onto any medium whatsoever.

DEEZER informs the Subscriber that it declines all liability with regard to advertisements displayed within content provided and hosted by third parties and which may be integrated into and/or referred to on the Site.

Article 3 – Use of the Deezer Web Service

The use of the Deezer Web Service requires a high-speed Internet connection. These connections are not provided by DEEZER, therefore the Subscriber must first subscribe to a high-speed Internet service in order to use the Deezer Web Service.

The music catalogue available as part of the Deezer Web Service is linked to the contracts in force with the rights-holders and may therefore be subject to change. DEEZER cannot guarantee the availability of any given track or album or any artist or group in the Deezer Web Service catalogue. Moreover, DEEZER cannot guarantee that any given track, album, artist or group in the Deezer Web Service catalogue will be available indefinitely. DEEZER incurs no liability for the withdrawal of any part of the catalogue content made available.

The Subscriber can activate the Deezer Web Service on a personal computer (PC or Mac). The Deezer Web Service is only accessible from one connection at a time. DEEZER has the technical means to verify multiple simultaneous connections from the same account and is therefore able to detect any attempts at multiple connections.

Article 4 – Availability and modification of the Deezer Web Service

The Deezer Web Service can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, within the limit of the Terms and the terms of Article 10 hereunder.

The Recordings made available within the Deezer Web Service are determined based on the country where the Subscriber has subscribed to the Deezer Web Service (his/her country of residence). In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1128 on cross-border portability of online content services in the internal market, any Subscriber who has subscribed to the Deezer Web Service from a member state of the European Union will have access to the same content in the same manner when using the Deezer Web Service while temporarily present in another member state, at no additional cost. However, DEEZER cannot guarantee the same quality of service as provided in the Subscriber’s country of residence.

Any Subscriber who has subscribed to the Deezer Web Service outside the European Union will also be given access to the same content in the same manner when using the Deezer Web Service while temporarily present in another country, at no additional cost. However, DEEZER cannot guarantee the same quality of service as provided in the Subscriber’s country of residence.

DEEZER has the right to make any changes or improvements to the Deezer Web Service as it deems necessary. DEEZER nevertheless guarantees that it will not affect the quality or substantially change the features of the Deezer Web Service.

In addition, DEEZER has the right to temporarily remove access to the Deezer Web Service, without prior notice or compensation, where necessary to carry out maintenance or ensure continuity of service. The Subscriber acknowledges that DEEZER cannot be held liable and thus waives any right to compensation and/or action against DEEZER in that respect. Notice of temporary interruptions in the Deezer Web Service will be given on the Site at least 24 (twenty-four) hours before they occur, unless they are urgent. DEEZER is also entitled to shut the Deezer Web Service down permanently with no compensation payable. Notice of the permanent shutdown of the Deezer Web Service will be given via the Site, at least 1 (one) month before it occurs. The Subscriber will no longer be liable for any payment from the date of the Deezer Web Service shutdown.

Article 5 – Absence of the right of withdrawal – period – renewal – cancellation – upgrade to the Deezer Premium Service

5.1 No right of withdrawal (cooling-off period)

The Subscriber expressly recognises and accepts that the supply of the Deezer Web Service starts at the time his/her subscription is confirmed and acknowledges that consequently he/she loses his/her right to withdraw from the subscription. Accordingly, no request for withdrawal, cancellation or refund will be accepted once the subscription is confirmed.

5.2 Period

DEEZER offers a monthly subscription (or any other duration depending on the offers made on the Site). Some trial or discovery periods of the Deezer Web Service of a different duration may be offered on the Site, temporarily or not. Unless stated otherwise, these trial and discovery periods will be subject to these Terms and will be limited to one subscription (same IP (Internet Protocol) address and/or same email address) whatever the trial or discovery offer.

5.3 Renewal

Unless cancelled by the Subscriber pursuant to Article 5.4, and unless the Subscriber uses a non-recurring payment method, the subscription to the Service renews automatically for exactly the same duration as the initial period. Therefore, if the Subscriber takes out a monthly subscription, such subscription will be renewed automatically each month.

Unless stated otherwise on the Site or in the Terms, and unless the subscription is cancelled by the Subscriber pursuant to Article 5.4, any trial or discovery offer is automatically converted into a monthly subscription at the price stated in the offer or, otherwise, at the price applicable to the monthly subscription to the Deezer Web Service.

5.4 Cancellation

Where a subscription is taken out directly from the Site, in order to cancel his/her subscription the Subscriber must go to his/her account and click “Cancel my subscription”. Cancellation will be effective at the end of the current subscription period, if made at least 48 (forty-eight) hours before the end of the period. For a trial or discovery period, cancellation occurs at the date and time of cancellation as indicated in the Subscriber’s account, unless stated otherwise on the Site.

If the subscription was taken out via a third-party website (such as iTunes for example), the Subscriber must first check the cancellation conditions for his/her subscription in the “My account” section of the Site, then follow the instructions to cancel the subscription. The Subscriber should be aware that conditions (how to cancel, within what timeframe, etc.) may vary from one third-party platform to another.

5.5 Upgrade to the Deezer Premium Service

If the Subscriber switches from the Deezer Web Service to the Deezer Premium Service, the upgrade will take effect immediately as authorised by DEEZER. Henceforth, DEEZER will immediately charge the Subscriber for the newly activated Deezer Premium Service subscription, regardless of whether the subscription period for the Deezer Web Service has come to an end, meaning that if the Subscriber is upgrading to the Deezer Premium Service during the Deezer Web Service subscription period, DEEZER will charge the Subscriber for both Services until the Subscriber cancels his/her subscription to the Deezer Web Service.

There will be no refund of the price paid for the Deezer Premium Service subscription due to the upgrade.

The Subscriber is solely liable for the consequences arising from the misuse of his/her account by the Subscriber himself/herself or by a third party who has accessed the Subscriber’s account due to the Subscriber’s fault or negligence, and as a result, the Subscriber acknowledges that DEEZER and all its partners, co-contracting party(ies) or rights-holders cannot be held liable in this regard.

Article 8 – Price

The subscription price is indicated on the Site and includes all taxes.

DEEZER has the right to change the price of all subscription offers from time to time. DEEZER will inform each Subscriber by email to the address provided by the Subscriber at the time of subscription to the Deezer Web Service (or as subsequently updated on his/her account) of any price increase at least 15 (fifteen) days before it comes into effect. If the Subscriber does not accept this increase, he/she can cancel his/her subscription pursuant to Article 5.4 above; such cancellation will be come into effect on the next monthly subscription due date. If the Subscription is not cancelled, the new price will apply to the Subscriber from the following monthly subscription payment due date.

Any increase in the rate of VAT (Value Added Tax) will be passed on automatically and immediately in the price of the Deezer Web Service. The same will apply should a new tax be created, based on the price of the Deezer Web Service and applicable to DEEZER. The conditions for cancellation applicable in the event of a change in price of the Deezer Web Service mentioned above will apply under the same conditions in the event of a price change arising from an increase in or the creation of new taxes.

Article 9 – Payment of the price

Various payment methods are offered on the Site (credit cards, prepaid cards, PayPal and/or other payment methods).

Depending on the subscription period chosen by the Subscriber, the Subscription price is paid either monthly or annually. The first payment will be made at the time of subscription, and thereafter payments will be made at the beginning of each month or year, by direct debit, until the subscription is cancelled, whether cancellation is initiated by the Subscriber or DEEZER.

For optimised transaction security, DEEZER has chosen the payment systems of various companies with which it has entered into agreements. The guarantees given by DEEZER in terms of transaction security are identical to those obtained by DEEZER from these payment service providers.

Unless the Subscriber provides evidence to the contrary, the computerised records kept within the computer systems of DEEZER and its partners in conditions of reasonable security will be treated as proof of communications, orders, validations and payments that have taken place between the Subscriber and DEEZER. This information shall be treated as valid proof between the Subscriber and DEEZER unless the Subscriber is able to provide written proof to the contrary.

Article 13 – Cookies and other trackers

13.1 What is a tracker?

A tracker is a cookie, beacon, tag, invisible pixel or any other system capable of storing and/or collecting information relating to navigation on the User’s terminal (computer, tablet, etc.) and/or their activity and the advertisements displayed on the Services, subject to their prior consent and except where the User has objected.

13.2 Purposes of the trackers used on the Services

Trackers allow the Services to recognise the User, guide navigation through a particular page and offer the User additional services, such as improving the browsing experience, ensuring the security of his/her connection or personalising page content based on his/her interests.

Trackers allow the storage of information relating to the registration or access to Services, the implementation of security measures or even the adaptation of the presentation of the Services to meet the display preferences of the terminal (language, operating system, etc.). They also allow access to the personal account.

Trackers allow the creation of statistics, logs of visits to and use of the various parts that make up the Services (pages and content visited, path taken), as well as the creation of surveys to improve the content offered on the Services.

Advertising trackers allow the analysis of the use of the Services and the advertisements displayed in order to display advertisements that are appropriate to the User’s interests on the Services or on partner sites. These trackers allow more particularly (i) the identification and counting of the advertisements displayed, (ii) the counting of the number of Users who click on each advertisement and (iii), as the case may be, the tracking of the subsequent actions carried out by those Users on the pages to which the advertisements lead.

DEEZER may also give its partners access to the Data collected through trackers so that they can carry out consumer behaviour studies.

DEEZER authorises certain commercial partners to insert advertising trackers into the Services and/or into the advertisements displayed. The insertion and use of trackers are subject to the privacy policies of these third parties. For example, trackers are inserted by the company Smart Adserver, subject to the User’s agreement, in order to optimise the display of advertisements. The use of these trackers is subject to the privacy policies of Smart Adserver, which can be consulted here. DEEZER includes social network applications in its Services, which allow the User to share content from the Site or the Application with other people or to make these other people aware of what they are listening to or their opinion regarding content from the Services. This is particularly the case with the “Share” and “Like” buttons on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.

The social network that supplies such an interactive button is likely to identify the User through this button, even if the User has not used this button during his/her use of the Services.

DEEZER invites the User to consult the privacy policies of these social networks to find out the purposes, in particular advertising purposes, for which the navigation information collected through these interactive buttons might be used. These privacy policies must in particular allow the User to exercise their choice on these social networks, in particular by changing the settings of his/her user account on each of these networks.

13.3 Types of Data collected by trackers

The information stored by cookies and other trackers, for a limited period (see Article 12.9 above), relates in particular to the pages visited, the advertisements on which the User has clicked, the type of browser used and the information entered on a site, in order to avoid having to enter it again.

13.4 User’s acceptance or rejection of trackers

The User may at any time express and modify his/her wishes regarding trackers.

The User may configure his/her browser to accept or reject trackers from DEEZER or third parties, on a case-by-case basis, or on a permanent basis.

The setting chosen might modify and/or restrict access to and use of the Services.

DEEZER does not accept any liability for the consequences of impaired operation of the Services resulting from DEEZER’s inability to save or consult the trackers necessary for the operation of the Site and/or the Application that are rejected or deleted by the User.

In order to make a decision regarding his/her browser, the User may consult the following pages:

• Internet Explorer™: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17442/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies
• Safari™: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/safari/manage-cookies-and-website-data-sfri11471/mac

• Firefox™: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences
• Opera™: http://help.opera.com/Windows/10.20/en/cookies.html

The User may also configure the settings on his/her browser so that it sends a code to websites indicating that he/she does not wish to be tracked (the “Do Not Track” option). For:

• Internet Explorer™: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17288/windows-internet-explorer-11-use-do-not-track

DEEZER provides the User with a tool for controlling tracker settings during the use of the Services: Privacy settings.

If the User wishes to obtain further information on cookies and other trackers, his/her rights and how to block them, he/she may consult the http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ website.

Article 14 – Intellectual property

The general structure of the Site, the Application, the Deezer Web Service and all elements composing it (such as but not limited to the logos, domain names, tracks or videos, and their associated elements such as the photos, images, texts and biography of the authors, artists and/or any legal beneficiary on the tracks or videos, as well as the visuals on the packaging) are the exclusive property of DEEZER and/or its licensors (notably the record and video producers, the record companies, authors’ rights societies, etc.).

These elements are protected by intellectual property law and other laws, and particularly copyright. The Subscriber may only use these elements for the purpose of using the Deezer Web Service, in accordance with the Terms.

Any representation of all or part of the Site, the Application, the Deezer Web Service and/or the elements composing them (as described above), by any means, without the express consent of DEEZER, is therefore forbidden and would be treated as an infringement punishable by law.

Any hyperlink to the Site and use of the “framing” technique (a programming technique that makes it possible to divide browser windows into separate frames in order to display the content of an external website) or the “in-line linking” technique (programming to make one element extracted from another site disappear into a web page, which saves storage space on the hard drive on which the Site is hosted and makes it possible to hide the initial content of which the element is part from an uninformed user) is strictly prohibited. Any unfair use of a DEEZER account (such use for instance aiming to artificially or abnormally increase the number of times certain specific music tracks are played), by any automated processes such as robots and scripts or any other means, is strictly prohibited.

The Recordings made available on the Deezer Web Service are digital files protected by national and international copyright and related rights. They may only therefore be listened to within a private or family setting. Any use for a non-private purpose will render the Subscriber liable to civil and/or criminal proceedings. Any other use of the Recordings is strictly forbidden and more particularly any download or attempt to download, any transfer or attempt to transfer whether permanently or temporarily onto the hard drive of a computer or any other device (music players in particular), any ripping or burning or attempt to rip or burn any file or files onto a CD or any other medium is expressly forbidden. Any resale, exchange or renting of these files is strictly prohibited.

The Subscriber acknowledges that the Recordings made available to him/her within the Site and Application are protected by protective technical measures set up by DEEZER in order to prevent or limit, depending on the technology offered, the unauthorised use of the Recordings.

The Subscriber agrees not to bypass these protective technical measures by any means, for the purpose of downloading these files and enabling them to be stored on his/her reception terminal regardless of what that is (computer, mobile phone, music player or other portable music disc player, etc.).

Article 15 – Suspension and/or cancellation initiated by DEEZER or the Subscriber

Without prejudice to any damages that DEEZER may claim, DEEZER has the right to suspend access to the Deezer Web Service by a Subscriber and/or cancel his/her subscription to the Deezer Web Service without notice or compensation, in the event that the Subscriber:

- Does not comply with the Terms and especially:

• Fails to give due regard to the intellectual property rights of DEEZER or its licensors;
• Bypasses or attempts to bypass the protective technical measures put in place by DEEZER;
• Uses or attempts to use multiple simultaneous connections to the same account;
• Provides false information at the time of his/her subscription to the Deezer Web Service or subsequently.

- Fails to pay the subscription price in full or in part.

- Carries on activities prejudicial to DEEZER’s commercial interests.

The Subscriber will be able to cancel his/her contract or subscription, without notice or compensation in favour of DEEZER, if DEEZER is in breach of its substantive obligations as defined in the Terms, or for legitimate reasons such as, in particular, his/her computer being stolen or on grounds of technical incompatibility of the Deezer Web Service with the Subscriber’s equipment.

Article 16 – Amendments of the Terms

DEEZER has the right to amend the Terms at its sole discretion. DEEZER will inform the Subscriber by email to the email address given on the Subscriber’s account, of any amendments of the Terms at least 1 (one) month before they come into effect. If the Subscriber does not accept these amendments, he/she will be free to cancel his/her subscription from his/her account on the Site as set forth in Article 5.4 above, such cancellation becoming effective on the next monthly subscription due date. If the Subscriber does not cancel his/her subscription, the amended Terms will come into effect 1 (one) month following receipt of notification of the amendment of the Terms.

Article 17 – Community and Customer Service

As part of his/her access to and use of the Deezer Web Service, DEEZER provides the Subscriber with a community, accessible through the deezercommunity.com website (the “Community”) where the Subscriber will in particular be able to find information regarding the Deezer Web Service and interact with other Subscribers.

As part of the Community, the Subscriber will in particular be able to:

- consult and contribute to a forum through posts, reactions and comments;

- post images, links and other content;

- interact with other Subscribers, DEEZER’s moderators, and/or Customer Service through comments and/or private messages.

Use of the Community is subject to acceptance of and compliance with its terms and conditions, available here: https://en.deezercommunity.com/site/terms.

As part of his/her access to and use of the Deezer Web Service, DEEZER also provides the Subscriber with a customer support service that can answer any questions the Subscriber might have about his/her account and the Services made available by DEEZER (the “Customer Service”).

The Subscriber will be able to request information about (this list is not exhaustive):

- his/her access to and use of the Services provided by DEEZER;

- his/her subscriptions and payments.

The Subscriber can contact DEEZER through the Site by clicking on the “Contact us” section or writing to the following address:

Customer Service will make every effort to respond to such requests within a reasonable timeframe, but can make no guarantees or warranties of any kind that such requests will be handled within a timeframe corresponding to the Subscriber’s expectations, or that the Subscriber will be fully satisfied with the response.

Article 18 – Invalidity of any clause

Should any of the clauses of the Terms be declared void or voidable for any reason, the other clauses will still apply without any modification.

Article 19 – Jurisdiction – Claims and disputes

These Terms are governed by the law of the country where the Subscriber has his/her habitual residence.

Any claim relating to the application of these Terms of Use must be emailed to Customer Service via the Site by clicking the link http://www.deezer.com/support, or sent by post to Deezer – Customer Service – 12 rue d'Athènes 75009 Paris – FRANCE, for prompt processing.

In the event of a dispute, the parties will try to reach an amicable agreement before any legal proceedings are commenced. If no amicable agreement can be reached, any claim regarding the validity, interpretation and/or execution of the Terms shall be brought before the court of the country where the Subscriber has his/her habitual residence.

Article 1 – General

Welcome to the Terms of Use and Sale for the Deezer Premium Service, Deezer Family Service and Deezer Student Service, which includes the website accessible at http://www.deezer.com (hereinafter the “Site”), and its desktop, tablet and mobile applications (hereinafter the “Application”). The Site and Application are created, developed and operated by DEEZER S.A. (hereinafter “DEEZER”) a French corporation listed in the Trade and Companies Register under number 511 716 573, the registered office of which is located at 12 rue d'Athènes 75009 Paris – FRANCE.

These conditions of use and sale (hereinafter the “Terms”) govern exclusively the Deezer Premium Service provided by DEEZER. These conditions apply to the exclusion of any other terms, particularly those that apply to other Services – free or paid – offered on the Site or the Application.

The purpose of these Terms is to define the contractual and commercial relationship between DEEZER, on the one hand, and any subscriber to the Deezer Premium Service, Deezer Family Service and Deezer Student Service (hereinafter the “Subscriber”), on the other hand.

The use of the Site and of the Deezer Premium Service, Deezer Family Service and Deezer Student Service is authorised for personal and private use only, therefore any other use, particularly in public premises and for businesses, is strictly forbidden.

Subscription and access to the Deezer Premium Service, Deezer Family Service and Deezer Student Service are strictly dependent on prior acceptance of all of these Terms (including the Privacy Policy) without restriction or reservation.

Article 2 – Presentation of the Deezer Premium Service

The Deezer Premium Service is a service offered and operated by DEEZER that makes it possible, subject to consent to these Terms, to listen to unlimited sound recordings and other musical and cultural content (such as podcasts, radio stations and in certain territories, audiobooks) (hereinafter the “Recordings”) in high quality audio (than is made available through DEEZER’s other services, where available) and without any advertisements, on multiple devices and in “Offline Mode” as described hereunder.

The Deezer Premium Service includes personalised music, playlists and other content recommendations.

Once the Subscriber has signed up, he/she has access to all features of the Deezer Premium Service from the Site or the Application.

The main characteristics of the Deezer Premium Service are as follows:

- Unlimited access, for the purpose of temporary downloading on three authorised devices (non-portable or portable devices) of Recordings included in the Deezer Premium Service music catalogue, in order to listen to them later when off-line;

- No advertising;

- High quality sound.

The Deezer Premium Service can only be used on certain compatible devices. A list of these devices can be found here.

The Deezer Premium Service is accessible to the Subscriber until the end of his/her subscription as stated on the subscription page of the Site at the time of subscribing or the cancellation of his/her subscription under the Terms hereunder.

The Deezer Premium Service is accessible from a personal computer (PC or Mac) by connecting to the Site or desktop application or from a portable device through the Application, which needs to be downloaded by the Subscriber. The Deezer Premium Service is also accessible without an Internet connection, by clicking the “Offline Mode” button of the Application.

By using the Offline Mode, the Subscriber can only access the Recordings and playlists that he/she has previously temporarily downloaded, from the Application, onto his/her device (non-portable or portable).

Recordings or playlists can be temporarily downloaded through the Offline Mode button that appears on the pages of the Application. The downloaded tracks can then be listened to with no Internet connection or 3G/4G mobile technology, for the whole Subscription period, but cannot however be transferred to or burned onto any medium whatsoever.

DEEZER informs the Subscriber that it declines all liability with regard to advertisements displayed within content provided and hosted by third parties and which may be integrated into and/or referred to on the Site or the Application.

Article 3 – Use of the Deezer Premium Service

The use of the Deezer Premium Service requires a high-speed Internet connection and an Internet service for portable devices. These connections are not provided by DEEZER; the Subscriber must therefore first register with a high-speed Internet and/or mobile Internet offer in order to use the Deezer Premium Service.

A mobile Internet connection via third or fourth generation (3G or 4G) mobile technology is highly recommended.

The music catalogue available as part of the Deezer Premium Service is linked to the contracts in force with the rights-holders and may therefore be subject to change. DEEZER cannot guarantee the availability of any given track or album or any artist or group in the Deezer Premium Service catalogue. Moreover, DEEZER cannot guarantee that any given track, album, artist or group in the Deezer Premium Service catalogue will be available indefinitely. DEEZER incurs no liability for the withdrawal of any part of the catalogue content made available.

As a Subscriber, you can activate the Deezer Premium Service on a personal computer (PC or Mac) and a compatible portable device registered with the Deezer Premium Service. The Deezer Premium Service is only accessible from one connection at a time (registered personal computer or compatible portable device). DEEZER has the technical means to verify multiple simultaneous connections from the same account and is therefore able to detect any attempts at multiple connections.

Article 4 – Availability and modification of the Deezer Premium Service

The Deezer Premium Service can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, within the limit of the Terms and the terms of Article 10 hereunder.

The Recordings made available within the Deezer Premium Service are determined based on the country where the Subscriber has subscribed to the Deezer Premium Service (his/her country of residence). In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1128 on cross-border portability of online content services in the internal market, any Subscriber who has subscribed to the Deezer Premium Service from a member state of the European Union will have access to the same content in the same manner when using the Deezer Premium Service while temporarily present in another member state, at no additional cost. However, DEEZER cannot guarantee the same quality of service as provided in the Subscriber’s country of residence.

Any Subscriber who has subscribed to the Deezer Premium Service outside the European Union will also be given access to the same content in the same manner when using the Deezer Premium Service while temporarily present in another country, at no additional cost. However, DEEZER cannot guarantee the same quality of service as provided in the Subscriber’s country of residence.

DEEZER has the right to make any changes or improvements to the Deezer Premium Service as it deems necessary. DEEZER nevertheless guarantees that it will not affect the quality or substantially change the features of the Deezer Premium Service.

In addition, DEEZER has the right to temporarily remove access to the Deezer Premium Service, without prior notice or compensation, where necessary to carry out maintenance or ensure continuity of service. The Subscriber acknowledges that DEEZER cannot be held liable and thus waives any right to compensation and/or action against DEEZER in that respect. Notice of temporary interruptions in the Deezer Premium Service will be given on the Site at least 24 (twenty-four) hours before they occur, unless they are urgent. DEEZER is also entitled to shut the Service down permanently with no compensation payable. Notice of the permanent shutdown of the Deezer Premium Service will be given via the Site or Application, at least 1 (one) month before it occurs. The Subscriber will no longer be liable for any payment from the date of the Deezer Premium Service shutdown.

Article 5 – Absence of the right of withdrawal – period – renewal – cancellation – upgrade to the Deezer Premium Service

5.1 No right of withdrawal (cooling-off period)

The Subscriber expressly recognises and accepts that the supply of the Deezer Premium Service starts at the time his/her subscription is confirmed and acknowledges that consequently he/she loses his/her right to withdraw from the subscription. Accordingly, no request for withdrawal, cancellation or refund will be accepted once the subscription is confirmed.

5.2 Period – Trials and discovery offers

DEEZER offers a monthly subscription (or any other period depending on the offers made on the Site or the Application).

Some trial or discovery periods of the Deezer Premium Service of a different duration may be offered on the Site or the Application, temporarily or otherwise. Unless stated otherwise, these trial and discovery periods will be subject to these Terms and will be limited to one subscription (same IP (Internet Protocol) address and/or same email address) whatever the trial or discovery offer.

5.3 Renewal

Unless cancelled by the Subscriber pursuant to Article 5.4, and unless the Subscriber uses a non-recurring payment method, the subscription to the Service renews automatically for exactly the same duration as the initial period. Therefore, if the Subscriber takes out a monthly subscription, such subscription will be renewed automatically each month.

Certain trial or discovery offers are subject to the provision of credit card details. Unless stated otherwise on the Site or Application or in the Terms, and unless the subscription is cancelled by the Subscriber pursuant to Article 5.4, any trial or discovery offer is automatically converted into a monthly subscription at the price stated in the offer or, otherwise, at the price applicable to the monthly subscription to the Deezer Premium Service.

5.4 Cancellation

Where a subscription is taken out directly from the Site or Application, in order to cancel his/her subscription the Subscriber must go to his/her account and click “Cancel my subscription”. Cancellation will be effective at the end of the current subscription period, if made at least 48 (forty-eight) hours before the end of the period. For a trial or discovery period, cancellation occurs at the date and time of cancellation as indicated in the Subscriber’s account, unless stated otherwise on the Site.

If the subscription was taken out via a third-party website (such as iTunes for example), the Subscriber must first check the cancellation conditions for his/her subscription in the “My account” section of the Site, then follow the instructions to cancel the subscription. The Subscriber should be aware that conditions (how to cancel, within what timeframe, etc.) may vary from one third-party platform to another.

5.5 Upgrade to the Deezer Premium Service

If the Subscriber switches from the Deezer Web Service to the Deezer Premium Service, the upgrade will take effect immediately as authorised by DEEZER. Henceforth, DEEZER will immediately charge the Subscriber for the newly activated Deezer Premium Service subscription, regardless of whether the subscription period for the Deezer Web Service has come to an end, meaning that if the Subscriber is upgrading to the Deezer Premium Service during the Deezer Web Service subscription period, DEEZER will charge the Subscriber for both Services until the Subscriber cancels his/her subscription to the Deezer Web Service.

There will be no refund of the price paid for the Deezer Web Service subscription due to the upgrade.

Article 6 – Terms of access to the Deezer Premium Service

The Subscriber is solely liable for the consequences arising from the misuse of his/her account by the Subscriber himself/herself or by a third party who has accessed the Subscriber’s account due to the Subscriber’s fault or negligence, and as a result, the Subscriber acknowledges that DEEZER and all its partners, co-contracting party(ies) or rights-holders cannot be held liable in this regard.

Article 8 – Price

The subscription price is stated on the Site or in the Application and is inclusive of all taxes.

DEEZER has the right to change the price of all subscription offers from time to time. DEEZER will inform each Subscriber by email to the address provided by the Subscriber at the time of subscription to the Deezer Premium Service (or as subsequently updated on his/her account) of any price increase at least 15 (fifteen) days before it comes into effect.

Any increase in the rate of VAT (Value Added Tax) will be passed on automatically and immediately in the price of the Deezer Premium Service. The same will apply should a new tax be created, based on the price of the Deezer Premium Service and applicable to DEEZER. The conditions for cancellation applicable in the event of a change in price of the Deezer Premium Service mentioned above will apply under the same conditions in the event of a price change arising from an increase in or the creation of new taxes.

Depending on the subscription period chosen by the Subscriber, the Subscription price is paid either monthly or annually. The first payment will be made at the time of subscription, and thereafter payments will be made at the beginning of each month or year, by direct debit, until the subscription is cancelled, whether cancellation is initiated by the Subscriber or DEEZER.

For optimised transaction security, DEEZER has chosen the payment systems of various companies with which it has entered into agreements. The guarantees given by DEEZER in terms of transaction security are identical to those obtained by DEEZER from these payment service providers.

Unless the Subscriber provides evidence to the contrary, the computerised records kept within the computer systems of DEEZER and its partners in conditions of reasonable security will be treated as proof of communications, orders, validations and payments that have taken place between the Subscriber and DEEZER. This information shall be treated as valid proof between the Subscriber and DEEZER unless the Subscriber is able to provide written proof to the contrary.

Article 10 – Subscriber liability

i) Each Subscriber can post messages, information and/or comments on the Site and the desktop Application. The Subscriber is solely liable for any messages, content or information published by him/her on the Site or desktop Application; DEEZER is considered to be an Internet service-hosting provider only and cannot be held liable for the content published by the Users on the Site or desktop Application, over which DEEZER has no control or supervision.

To avoid being held liable, the Subscriber expressly agrees to ensure that any message published by him/her on the Site or desktop Application complies with the following requirements (this list is not exhaustive):

- Contains no addresses or Internet links transferring to an external website the content of which violates any applicable law and/or regulation, infringes third party rights or is in breach of the Terms.

ii) The Subscriber agrees not to use any automated system such as scripts for the purpose of adding Users to his/her User account and/or sending comments or messages.

iii) If the Subscriber breaches any law or infringes any third-party rights, DEEZER has the right to provide any information enabling or facilitating the identification of the offender at the request of any legal authority (courts, administrative authorities and police forces).

Article 11 – Disclaimer of warranties

The Subscriber declares that he has been informed of the scope and limitations of the Internet network.

As a result, DEEZER disclaims all liability for any malfunction in access to the Deezer Premium Service, the speed at which the pages of the Site or Application open and can be read, the listening speed of any tracks, the temporary or permanent inaccessibility of the Deezer Premium Service, and the fraudulent use by third parties of the information provided on the Site or Application.

It is therefore the Subscriber’s duty to protect his/her equipment against any form of intrusion and/or virus contamination, for which DEEZER can never be held liable. DEEZER can never be held liable for any malfunction of or damage caused to the Subscriber’s equipment.

More broadly, DEEZER disclaims any liability if a breach of any obligation results from acts of nature, forces, or causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, Internet failures, computer equipment failures, telecommunication equipment failures, other equipment failures, electrical power failures, strikes, labour disputes, riots, insurrections, civil disturbances, shortages of labour or materials, fires, floods, storms, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental actions, orders of domestic or foreign courts or tribunals, non-performance of third parties, or loss of or fluctuations in heat, light or air conditioning and more broadly any unstoppable and unforeseen event which prevents orders being carried out successfully.

DEEZER disclaims all liability should it transpire that the Deezer Premium Service is incompatible with certain equipment and/or features of the Subscriber’s equipment.

Finally, the Subscriber is solely liable for his/her use of the Deezer Premium Service and cannot hold DEEZER liable for any claim and/or proceedings against him/her in this regard. The Subscriber shall be responsible for any claim, complaint or objection and more broadly any proceedings brought against DEEZER by a third party in relation to the Subscriber’s use of the Deezer Premium Service.

- Via sales and marketing partners: DEEZER allows its Users to access the Services on several types of audio device (speakers, car radios, etc.) through partnerships with the manufacturers of these devices.

The User may also choose to make his/her playlists “private” at the time of creation, or after they have been created, by clicking on the “Edit” button.

The Services may include links to third-party websites or external sources. The User acknowledges that the Policy only applies to the use of the Services, and does not in any way cover the Data collected and/or processed by the third-party websites or external sources to which the Services might link.

Article 13 – Cookies and other trackers

13.1 What is a tracker?

A tracker is a cookie, beacon, tag, invisible pixel or any other system capable of storing and/or collecting information relating to navigation on the User’s terminal (computer, tablet, etc.) and/or their activity and the advertisements displayed on the Services, subject to their prior consent and except where the User has objected.

13.2 Purposes of the trackers used on the Services

Trackers allow the Services to recognise the User, guide navigation through a particular page and offer the User additional services, such as improving the browsing experience, ensuring the security of his/her connection or personalising page content based on his/her interests.

Trackers allow the storage of information relating to the registration or access to Services, the implementation of security measures or even the adaptation of the presentation of the Services to meet the display preferences of the terminal (language, operating system, etc.). They also allow access to the personal account.

Trackers allow the creation of statistics, logs of visits to and use of the various parts that make up the Services (pages and content visited, path taken), as well as the creation of surveys to improve the content offered on the Services.

Advertising trackers allow the analysis of the use of the Services and the advertisements displayed in order to display advertisements that are appropriate to the User’s interests on the Services or on partner sites. These trackers allow more particularly (i) the identification and counting of the advertisements displayed, (ii) the counting of the number of Users who click on each advertisement and (iii), as the case may be, the tracking of the subsequent actions carried out by those Users on the pages to which the advertisements lead.

DEEZER may also give its partners access to the Data collected through trackers so that they can carry out consumer behaviour studies.

DEEZER authorises certain commercial partners to insert advertising trackers into the Services and/or into the advertisements displayed. The insertion and use of trackers are subject to the privacy policies of these third parties. For example, trackers are inserted by the company Smart Adserver, subject to the User’s agreement, in order to optimise the display of advertisements. The use of these trackers is subject to the privacy policies of Smart Adserver, which can be consulted here. DEEZER includes social network applications in its Services, which allow the User to share content from the Site or the Application with other people or to make these other people aware of what they are listening to or their opinion regarding content from the Services. This is particularly the case with the “Share” and “Like” buttons on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.

The social network that supplies such an interactive button is likely to identify the User through this button, even if the User has not used this button during his/her use of the Services.

DEEZER invites the User to consult the privacy policies of these social networks to find out the purposes, in particular advertising purposes, for which the navigation information collected through these interactive buttons might be used. These privacy policies must in particular allow the User to exercise their choice on these social networks, in particular by changing the settings of his/her user account on each of these networks.

13.3 Types of Data collected by trackers

The information stored by cookies and other trackers, for a limited period (see Article 12.9 above), relates in particular to the pages visited, the advertisements on which the User has clicked, the type of browser used and the information entered on a site, in order to avoid having to enter it again.

13.4 User’s acceptance or rejection of trackers

The User may at any time express and modify his/her wishes regarding trackers.

The User may configure his/her browser to accept or reject trackers from DEEZER or third parties, on a case-by-case basis, or on a permanent basis.

The setting chosen might modify and/or restrict access to and use of the Services.

DEEZER does not accept any liability for the consequences of impaired operation of the Services resulting from DEEZER’s inability to save or consult the trackers necessary for the operation of the Site and/or the Application that are rejected or deleted by the User.

In order to make a decision regarding his/her browser, the User may consult the following pages:

• Firefox™: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences

The User may also configure the settings on his/her browser so that it sends a code to websites indicating that he/she does not wish to be tracked (the “Do Not Track” option). For:

• Internet Explorer™: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17288/windows-internet-explorer-11-use-do-not-track

Article 14 – Intellectual property

The general structure of the Site, the Application, the Deezer Premium Service and all elements composing it (such as but not limited to the logos, domain names, tracks or videos, and their associated elements such as the photos, images, texts and biography of the authors, artists and/or any legal beneficiary on the tracks or videos, as well as the visuals on the packaging) are the exclusive property of DEEZER and/or its licensors (notably the record and video producers, the record companies, authors’ rights societies, etc.).

These elements are protected by intellectual property law and other laws, and particularly copyright. The Subscriber may only use these elements for the purpose of using the Deezer Premium Service, in accordance with the Terms.

Any representation of all or part of the Site, the Application, the Deezer Premium Service and/or the elements composing them (as described above), by any means, without the express consent of DEEZER, is therefore forbidden and would be treated as an infringement punishable by law.

Any hyperlink to the Site and use of the “framing” technique (a programming technique that makes it possible to divide browser windows into separate frames in order to display the content of an external website) or the “in-line linking” technique (programming to make one element extracted from another site disappear into a web page, which saves storage space on the hard drive on which the Site is hosted and makes it possible to hide the initial content of which the element is part from an uninformed user) is strictly prohibited. Any unfair use of a DEEZER account (such use for instance aiming to artificially or abnormally increase the number of times certain specific music tracks are played), by any automated processes such as robots and scripts or any other means, is strictly prohibited.

The Recordings made available on the Deezer Premium Service are digital files protected by national and international copyright and related rights. They may only therefore be listened to within a private or family setting. Any use for a non-private purpose will render the Subscriber liable to civil and/or criminal proceedings. Any other use of the Recordings is strictly forbidden and more particularly any download or attempt to download, any transfer or attempt to transfer whether permanently or temporarily onto the hard drive of a computer or any other device (music players in particular), any ripping or burning or attempt to rip or burn any file or files onto a CD or any other medium is expressly forbidden. Any resale, exchange or renting of these files is strictly prohibited.

The Subscriber acknowledges that the Recordings made available to him/her within the Site and Application are protected by protective technical measures set up by DEEZER in order to prevent or limit, depending on the technology offered, the unauthorised use of the Recordings.

The Subscriber agrees not to bypass these protective technical measures by any means, for the purpose of downloading these files and enabling them to be stored on his/her reception terminal regardless of what that is (computer, mobile phone, music player or other portable music disc player, etc.).

Article 15 – Suspension and/or cancellation initiated by DEEZER or the Subscriber

Without prejudice to any damages that DEEZER may claim, DEEZER has the right to suspend access to the Deezer Premium Service by a Subscriber and/or cancel his/her subscription to the Deezer Premium Service without notice or compensation, in the event that the Subscriber:

• Provides false information at the time of his/her subscription to the Deezer Premium Service or subsequently.

- Fails to pay the subscription price in full or in part.

- Carries on activities prejudicial to DEEZER’s commercial interests.

The Subscriber will be able to cancel his/her contract or subscription, without notice or compensation in favour of DEEZER, if DEEZER is in breach of its substantive obligations as defined in the Terms, or for legitimate reasons such as, in particular, his/her computer being stolen or on grounds of technical incompatibility of the Deezer Premium Service with the Subscriber’s equipment.

Article 16 – Amendments of the Terms

DEEZER has the right to amend the Terms at its sole discretion. DEEZER will inform the Subscriber by email to the email address given on the Subscriber’s account, of any amendments of the Terms at least 1 (one) month before they come into effect.

Article 18 – Invalidity of any clause

Should any of the clauses of the Terms be declared void or voidable for any reason, the other clauses will still apply without any modification.

Article 19 – Jurisdiction – Claims and disputes

These Terms are governed by the law of the country where the Subscriber has his/her habitual residence.

Any claim relating to the application of these Terms of Use must be emailed to Customer Service via the Site by clicking the link http://www.deezer.com/support, or sent by post to Deezer – Customer Service – 12 rue d'Athènes 75009 Paris – FRANCE, for prompt processing.

In the event of a dispute, the parties will try to reach an amicable agreement before any legal proceedings are commenced. If no amicable agreement can be reached, any claim regarding the validity, interpretation and/or execution of the Terms shall be brought before the court of the country where the Subscriber has his/her habitual residence.

Article 20 – Specific conditions for the Deezer Family Service

These Terms, which govern the Deezer Premium Service provided by DEEZER, also apply in full to the Deezer Family Service (as defined below), except for the specific provisions below.

The Deezer Family Service enables the members of the same household to access the Deezer Family Service by creating a master account to which up to five (5) accounts can be linked. The linked accounts will be created by the Subscriber, who shall have parental authority or parental authorisation in order to create an account for a minor under 16. The users of all such linked accounts benefit from the same features as provided by the Deezer Premium Service, except for the community features. All users of the Deezer Family Service can access and use the service simultaneously.

However, it is hereby specified that in accordance with the agreements in effect between DEEZER and the rights-holders, some tracks available in the Deezer Premium Service music catalogue may not be available through the Deezer Family Service. As a result, the Subscriber who has signed up for the Deezer Family Service would lose access to such tracks on all his/her accounts including the one created to access his/her Deezer Premium Service subscription.

The Deezer Family Service subscription and its use are restricted to members of the same household residing at the same address. Therefore, DEEZER reserves the right, at its discretion, to ask the Subscriber at any time for proof that this requirement is fulfilled.

Subscription to the Deezer Family Service is not available for:

• any person who wishes to subscribe via iTunes;
• any person who uses as means of payment the first version of the Paypal app;
• subscribers to the Deezer Premium Service who have signed up for a 12-month subscription.

Deezer Premium subscribers who wish to subscribe to the Deezer Family Service are informed that by subscribing to the Deezer Family Service, they will be charged immediately for the amount of the monthly subscription fee for the Deezer Family Service and at the same time, their subscription to the Deezer Premium Service will be cancelled automatically by DEEZER. Any current monthly subscription to the Deezer Premium Service already paid for will not be refunded.

In respect of the Deezer Family Service, the Subscriber who holds the master account is liable for compliance by all users of the linked accounts with the Terms.

In respect of the Deezer Family Service, temporary downloading is available for the master account on up to three (3) authorised devices and on up to two (2) authorised devices for each linked account.

The Deezer Family Service is available through only one connection per account at a time. DEEZER implements technical measures to verify multiple simultaneous connections from the same account and is therefore able to detect any attempts at multiple connections. Linked accounts can be created and deleted through the “Settings” page of the master account. Access to the Deezer Family Service for users of the linked accounts is available through the “Settings” page of the master account.

Without prejudice to any damages that DEEZER may claim, DEEZER has the right to suspend and/or cancel, without notice or compensation, access to the Deezer Family Service by a Subscriber as provided for in Article 15 of the Terms, if the Subscriber or one of the users of a linked account does not comply with the Terms.

Article 21 – Specific conditions for the Deezer Student Service

These Terms, which govern the Deezer Premium Service provided by DEEZER, also apply in full to the Deezer Student Service (as defined below), except for the specific provisions below.

The Deezer Student Service is only available to students aged 18 to 25 who are enrolled in a college or university in a country where the Service is available. DEEZER has appointed a partner to make sure the Subscriber is eligible for the Deezer Student Service when subscribing to the Service for the first time and before each renewal. DEEZER also reserves the right to check such eligibility at any time.

Subscription to the Deezer Student Service is not available for:

• subscribers to the Deezer Premium Service (full price);

• beneficiaries of a current promotional offer.

In any of the above cases, in order to subscribe to the Deezer Student Service, the ongoing subscription or promotional offer must first be cancelled or have expired.

Finally, the holder of a Deezer Family Service master account is not eligible to subscribe to the Deezer Student Service.

The Deezer Student Service is available for a maximum of twelve consecutive months and can be renewed up to three times per Subscriber; each renewal period is limited to twelve consecutive months. If the Deezer Student Service is cancelled for whatever reason at any time, such cancellation is permanent and the Subscriber will no longer be eligible for the Deezer Student Service.

At the end of the Deezer Student Service (including if the subscription is not renewed by the Subscriber), the Deezer Student Service shall be automatically converted into a full price Deezer Premium subscription. As a result, the Subscriber will be charged for the full price of the monthly Deezer Premium Service until cancellation of his/her subscription; the Subscriber is hereby informed that he/she can cancel his/her subscription at any time, as per the cancellation terms hereunder.

The purpose of these Terms is to define the contractual and commercial relationship between DEEZER, on the one hand, and any subscriber to the Deezer HiFi Service (hereinafter the “Subscriber”), on the other hand.

The use of the Site and of the Deezer HiFi Service is authorised for personal and private use only; any other use, particularly in public premises and for businesses, is therefore strictly forbidden.

Subscription and access to the Deezer HiFi Service are strictly dependent on prior acceptance of all of these Terms (including the Privacy Policy) without restriction or reservation.

Article 2 – Presentation of the Deezer HiFi Service

The Deezer HiFi Service is a service offered and operated by DEEZER that makes it possible, subject to consent to these Terms, to listen to unlimited sound recordings and other musical and cultural content (such as podcasts, radio stations and in certain territories, audiobooks) (hereinafter the “Recordings”) in higher quality audio (than is made available through DEEZER’s other services, where available) and without any advertisements, on multiple devices and in “Offline Mode” as described hereunder.

The Deezer HiFi Service includes personalised music, playlists and other content recommendations.

Once the Subscriber has signed up, he/she has access to all features of the Deezer HiFi Service from the Site or the Application.

The main characteristics of the Deezer HiFi Service are as follows:

- Unlimited access, for the purpose of temporary downloading on three authorised devices (non-portable or portable devices) of Recordings included in the Deezer HiFi Service music catalogue, in order to listen to them later when off-line;

- No advertising;

- The majority of the music tracks available are in the following format: FLAC audio bitstream data (CD quality, 16 bits, stereo, 44.1 kHz).

The Deezer HiFi Service can only be used on certain compatible devices. A list of these devices can be found here.

The Deezer HiFi Service is accessible to the Subscriber until the end of his/her subscription as stated on the subscription page of the Site at the time of subscribing or the cancellation of his/her subscription under the Terms hereunder.

The Deezer HiFi Service is accessible from a personal computer (PC or Mac) by connecting to the Site or desktop application or from a portable device through the Application, which needs to be downloaded by the Subscriber. The Deezer HiFi Service is also accessible without an Internet connection, by clicking the “Offline Mode” button of the Application.

Recordings or playlists can be temporarily downloaded through the Offline Mode button that appears on the pages of the Application. The downloaded tracks can then be listened to with no Internet connection or 3G/4G mobile technology, for the whole Subscription period, but cannot however be transferred to or burned onto any medium whatsoever.

DEEZER informs the Subscriber that it declines all liability with regard to advertisements displayed within content provided and hosted by third parties and which may be integrated into and/or referred to on the Site or the Application.

Article 3 – Use of the Deezer HiFi Service

The use of the Deezer HiFi Service requires a high-speed Internet connection and an Internet service for portable devices. These connections are not provided by DEEZER; the Subscriber must therefore first register with a high-speed Internet and/or mobile Internet offer in order to use the Service.

A mobile Internet connection via third or fourth generation (3G or 4G) mobile technology is highly recommended.

The music catalogue available as part of the Deezer HiFi Service is linked to the contracts in force with the rights-holders and may therefore be subject to change. DEEZER cannot guarantee the availability of any given track or album or any artist or group in the Deezer HiFi Service catalogue. Moreover, DEEZER cannot guarantee that any given track, album, artist or group in the Deezer HiFi Service catalogue will be available indefinitely. DEEZER incurs no liability for the withdrawal of any part of the catalogue content made available.

As a Subscriber, you can activate the Deezer HiFi Service on a personal computer (PC or Mac) and a compatible portable device registered with the Deezer HiFi Service. The Deezer HiFi Service is only accessible from one connection at a time (registered personal computer or compatible portable device). DEEZER has the technical means to verify multiple simultaneous connections from the same account and is therefore able to detect any attempts at multiple connections.

Article 4 – Availability and modification of the Deezer HiFi Service

The Deezer HiFi Service can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, within the limit of the Terms and the terms of Article 10 hereunder.

The Recordings made available within the Deezer HiFi Service are determined based on the country where the Subscriber has subscribed to the Deezer HiFi Service (his/her country of residence). In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1128 on cross-border portability of online content services in the internal market, any Subscriber who has subscribed to the Deezer HiFi Service from a member state of the European Union will have access to the same content in the same manner when using the Deezer HiFi Service while temporarily present in another member state, at no additional cost. However, DEEZER cannot guarantee the same quality of service as provided in the Subscriber’s country of residence.

Any Subscriber who has subscribed to the Deezer HiFi Service outside the European Union will also be given access to the same content in the same manner when using the Deezer HiFi Service while temporarily present in another country, at no additional cost. However, DEEZER cannot guarantee the same quality of service as provided in the Subscriber’s country of residence.

DEEZER has the right to make any changes or improvements to the Deezer HiFi Service as it deems necessary. DEEZER nevertheless guarantees that it will not affect the quality or substantially change the features of the Deezer HiFi Service.

In addition, DEEZER has the right to temporarily remove access to the Deezer HiFi Service, without prior notice or compensation, where necessary to carry out maintenance or ensure continuity of service. The Subscriber acknowledges that DEEZER cannot be held liable and thus waives any right to compensation and/or action against DEEZER in that respect. Notice of temporary interruptions in the Deezer HiFi Service will be given on the Site at least 24 (twenty-four) hours before they occur, unless they are urgent. DEEZER is also entitled to shut the Service down permanently with no compensation payable. Notice of the permanent shutdown of the Deezer HiFi Service will be given via the Site or Application, at least 1 (one) month before it occurs. The Subscriber will no longer be liable for any payment from the date of the Deezer HiFi Service shutdown.

Article 5 – Absence of the right of withdrawal – period – renewal – cancellation – upgrade to the Deezer HiFi Service

5.1 No right of withdrawal (cooling-off period)

The Subscriber expressly recognises and accepts that the supply of the Deezer HiFi Service starts at the time his/her subscription is confirmed and acknowledges that consequently he/she loses his/her right to withdraw from the subscription. Accordingly, no request for withdrawal, cancellation or refund will be accepted once the subscription is confirmed.

5.2 Period – Trials and discovery offers

DEEZER offers a monthly subscription (or any other period depending on the offers made on the Site or the Application).

Some trial or discovery periods of the Deezer HiFi Service of a different duration may be offered on the Site or the Application, temporarily or otherwise. Unless stated otherwise, these trial and discovery periods will be subject to these Terms and will be limited to one subscription (same IP (Internet Protocol) address and/or same email address) whatever the trial or discovery offer.

5.3 Renewal

Unless cancelled by the Subscriber pursuant to Article 5.4, and unless the Subscriber uses a non-recurring payment method, the subscription to the Service renews automatically for exactly the same duration as the initial period. Therefore, if the Subscriber takes out a monthly subscription, such subscription will be renewed automatically each month.

Certain trial or discovery offers are subject to the provision of credit card details. Unless stated otherwise on the Site or Application or in the Terms, and unless the subscription is cancelled by the Subscriber pursuant to Article 5.4, any trial or discovery offer is automatically converted into a monthly subscription at the price stated in the offer or, otherwise, at the price applicable to the monthly subscription to the Deezer HiFi Service.

5.4 Cancellation

Where a subscription is taken out directly from the Site or Application, in order to cancel his/her subscription the Subscriber must go to his/her account and click “Cancel my subscription”. Cancellation will be effective at the end of the current subscription period, if made at least 48 (forty-eight) hours before the end of the period. For a trial or discovery period, cancellation occurs at the date and time of cancellation as indicated in the Subscriber’s account, unless stated otherwise on the Site.

If the subscription was taken out via a third-party website (such as iTunes for example), the Subscriber must first check the cancellation conditions for his/her subscription in the “My account” section of the Site, then follow the instructions to cancel the subscription. The Subscriber should be aware that conditions (how to cancel, within what timeframe, etc.) may vary from one third-party platform to another.

5.5 Upgrade to the Deezer HiFi Service

If the Subscriber switches from the Deezer Web Service or the Deezer Premium Service to the Deezer HiFi Service, the upgrade will take effect immediately as authorised by DEEZER. Henceforth, DEEZER will immediately charge the Subscriber for the newly activated Deezer HiFi Service subscription, regardless of whether the subscription period for the Deezer Web Service or the Deezer Premium Service has come to an end, meaning that if the Subscriber is upgrading to the Deezer HiFi Service during the Deezer Web Service or Deezer Premium Service subscription period, DEEZER will charge the Subscriber for both Services until the Subscriber cancels his/her subscription to the Deezer Web Service or the Deezer Premium Service.

There will be no refund of the price paid for the Deezer Web or Deezer Premium Service subscription due to the upgrade.

Article 6 – Terms of access to the Deezer HiFi Service

The Subscriber declares that he/she has the capacity to agree to these Terms; this means that he/she is of the legal age required and not under any legal protection measure (such as legal guardianship).

The Subscriber must immediately inform DEEZER of any loss or unauthorised use of his/her account, identification details or password.

The Subscriber is solely liable for the consequences arising from the misuse of his/her account by the Subscriber himself/herself or by a third party who has accessed the Subscriber’s account due to the Subscriber’s fault or negligence, and as a result, the Subscriber acknowledges that DEEZER and all its partners, co-contracting party(ies) or rights-holders cannot be held liable in this regard.

Article 8 – Price

The subscription price is stated on the Site or in the Application and is inclusive of all taxes.

DEEZER has the right to change the price of all subscription offers from time to time. DEEZER will inform each Subscriber by email to the address provided by the Subscriber at the time of subscription to the Deezer HiFi Service (or as subsequently updated on his/her account) of any price increase at least 15 (fifteen) days before it comes into effect. If the Subscriber does not accept this increase, he/she can cancel his/her subscription pursuant to Article 5.4 above; such cancellation will be come into effect on the next monthly subscription due date. If the Subscription is not cancelled, the new price will apply to the Subscriber from the following monthly subscription payment due date.

Any increase in the rate of VAT (Value Added Tax) will be passed on automatically and immediately in the price of the Deezer HiFi Service. The same will apply in the event of any new tax based on the price of the Deezer HiFi Service and applicable to DEEZER. The conditions for cancellation applicable in the event of a change in price of the Deezer HiFi Service mentioned above will apply under the same conditions in the event of a price change arising from an increase in or the creation of new taxes.

Article 9 – Payment of the price

Various payment methods are offered on the Site (credit cards, prepaid cards, PayPal and/or other payment methods).

Depending on the subscription period chosen by the Subscriber, the Subscription price is paid either monthly or annually. The first payment will be made at the time of subscription, and thereafter payments will be made at the beginning of each month or year, by direct debit, until the subscription is cancelled, whether cancellation is initiated by the Subscriber or DEEZER.

For optimised transaction security, DEEZER has chosen the payment systems of various companies with which it has entered into agreements. The guarantees given by DEEZER in terms of transaction security are identical to those obtained by DEEZER from these payment service providers.

Unless the Subscriber provides evidence to the contrary, the computerised records kept within the computer systems of DEEZER and its partners in conditions of reasonable security will be treated as proof of communications, orders, validations and payments that have taken place between the Subscriber and DEEZER. This information shall be treated as valid proof between the Subscriber and DEEZER unless the Subscriber is able to provide written proof to the contrary.

In the event of interaction with Customer Service, it may collect certain Data in order to process the User’s request.

These include in particular the Data allowing Customer Service to identify the User (DEEZER username, surname, first name), the date, time and reason for the User’s request, the content of exchanges with Customer Service and the additional Data necessary for handling the request, as the case may be.

- Via sales and marketing partners: DEEZER allows its Users to access the Services on several types of audio device (speakers, car radios, etc.) through partnerships with the manufacturers of these devices.

The User may also choose to make his/her playlists “private” at the time of creation, or after they have been created, by clicking on the “Edit” button.

This is the case for the following information in particular: username, profile picture, the users followed by the User (username and photo), the users who follow the User (photo and username), playlists, albums and podcasts, and favourite tracks and artists.

Article 13 – Cookies and other trackers

13.1 What is a tracker?

A tracker is a cookie, beacon, tag, invisible pixel or any other system capable of storing and/or collecting information relating to navigation on the User’s terminal (computer, tablet, etc.) and/or their activity and the advertisements displayed on the Services, subject to their prior consent and except where the User has objected.

13.2 Purposes of the trackers used on the Services

Trackers allow the Services to recognise the User, guide navigation through a particular page and offer the User additional services, such as improving the browsing experience, ensuring the security of his/her connection or personalising page content based on his/her interests.

Trackers allow the storage of information relating to the registration or access to Services, the implementation of security measures or even the adaptation of the presentation of the Services to meet the display preferences of the terminal (language, operating system, etc.). They also allow access to the personal account.

Trackers allow the creation of statistics, logs of visits to and use of the various parts that make up the Services (pages and content visited, path taken), as well as the creation of surveys to improve the content offered on the Services.

Advertising trackers allow the analysis of the use of the Services and the advertisements displayed in order to display advertisements that are appropriate to the User’s interests on the Services or on partner sites. These trackers allow more particularly (i) the identification and counting of the advertisements displayed, (ii) the counting of the number of Users who click on each advertisement and (iii), as the case may be, the tracking of the subsequent actions carried out by those Users on the pages to which the advertisements lead.

DEEZER may also give its partners access to the Data collected through trackers so that they can carry out consumer behaviour studies.

DEEZER authorises certain commercial partners to insert advertising trackers into the Services and/or into the advertisements displayed. The insertion and use of trackers are subject to the privacy policies of these third parties. For example, trackers are inserted by the company Smart Adserver, subject to the User’s agreement, in order to optimise the display of advertisements. The use of these trackers is subject to the privacy policies of Smart Adserver, which can be consulted here. DEEZER includes social network applications in its Services, which allow the User to share content from the Site or the Application with other people or to make these other people aware of what they are listening to or their opinion regarding content from the Services. This is particularly the case with the “Share” and “Like” buttons on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.

The social network that supplies such an interactive button is likely to identify the User through this button, even if the User has not used this button during his/her use of the Services.

DEEZER invites the User to consult the privacy policies of these social networks to find out the purposes, in particular advertising purposes, for which the navigation information collected through these interactive buttons might be used. These privacy policies must in particular allow the User to exercise their choice on these social networks, in particular by changing the settings of his/her user account on each of these networks.

13.3 Types of Data collected by trackers

The information stored by cookies and other trackers, for a limited period (see Article 12.9 above), relates in particular to the pages visited, the advertisements on which the User has clicked, the type of browser used and the information entered on a site, in order to avoid having to enter it again.

13.4 User’s acceptance or rejection of trackers

The User may at any time express and modify his/her wishes regarding trackers.

The User may configure his/her browser to accept or reject trackers from DEEZER or third parties, on a case-by-case basis, or on a permanent basis.

The setting chosen might modify and/or restrict access to and use of the Services.

DEEZER does not accept any liability for the consequences of impaired operation of the Services resulting from DEEZER’s inability to save or consult the trackers necessary for the operation of the Site and/or the Application that are rejected or deleted by the User.

In order to make a decision regarding his/her browser, the User may consult the following pages:

• Internet Explorer™: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17442/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies

• Firefox™: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences

The User may also configure the settings on his/her browser so that it sends a code to websites indicating that he/she does not wish to be tracked (the “Do Not Track” option). For:

• Internet Explorer™: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17288/windows-internet-explorer-11-use-do-not-track

If the User wishes to obtain further information on cookies and other trackers, his/her rights and how to block them, he/she may consult the http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ website.

Article 14 – Intellectual property

The general structure of the Site, the Application, the Deezer HiFi Service and all elements composing it (such as but not limited to the logos, domain names, tracks or videos, and their associated elements such as the photos, images, texts and biography of the authors, artists and/or any legal beneficiary on the tracks or videos, as well as the visuals on the packaging) are the exclusive property of DEEZER and/or its licensors (notably the record and video producers, the record companies, authors’ rights societies, etc.).

These elements are protected by intellectual property law and other laws, and particularly copyright. The Subscriber may only use these elements for the purpose of using the Deezer HiFi Service, in accordance with the Terms.

Any representation of all or part of the Site, the Application, the Deezer HiFi Service and/or the elements composing them (as described above), by any means, without the express consent of DEEZER, is therefore forbidden and would be treated as an infringement punishable by law.

Any hyperlink to the Site and use of the “framing” technique (a programming technique that makes it possible to divide browser windows into separate frames in order to display the content of an external website) or the “in-line linking” technique (programming to make one element extracted from another site disappear into a web page, which saves storage space on the hard drive on which the Site is hosted and makes it possible to hide the initial content of which the element is part from an uninformed user) is strictly prohibited. Any unfair use of a DEEZER account (such use for instance aiming to artificially or abnormally increase the number of times certain specific music tracks are played), by any automated processes such as robots and scripts or any other means, is strictly prohibited.

The Recordings made available on the Deezer HiFi Service are digital files protected by national and international copyright and related rights. They may only therefore be listened to within a private or family setting. Any use for a non-private purpose will render the Subscriber liable to civil and/or criminal proceedings. Any other use of the Recordings is strictly forbidden and more particularly any download or attempt to download, any transfer or attempt to transfer whether permanently or temporarily onto the hard drive of a computer or any other device (music players in particular), any ripping or burning or attempt to rip or burn any file or files onto a CD or any other medium is expressly forbidden. Any resale, exchange or renting of these files is strictly prohibited.

The Subscriber acknowledges that the Recordings made available to him/her within the Site and Application are protected by protective technical measures set up by DEEZER in order to prevent or limit, depending on the technology offered, the unauthorised use of the Recordings.

The Subscriber agrees not to bypass these protective technical measures by any means, for the purpose of downloading these files and enabling them to be stored on his/her reception terminal regardless of what that is (computer, mobile phone, music player or other portable music disc player, etc.).

Article 15 – Suspension and/or cancellation initiated by DEEZER or the Subscriber

Without prejudice to any damages that DEEZER may claim, DEEZER has the right to suspend access to the Deezer HiFi Service by a Subscriber and/or cancel his/her subscription to the Deezer HiFi Service without notice or compensation, in the event that the Subscriber:

Article 16 – Amendments of the Terms

DEEZER has the right to amend the Terms at its sole discretion. DEEZER will inform the Subscriber by email to the email address given on the Subscriber’s account, of any amendments of the Terms at least 1 (one) month before they come into effect. If the Subscriber does not accept these amendments, he/she will be free to cancel his/her subscription from his/her account on the Site as set forth in Article 5.4 above, such cancellation becoming effective on the next monthly subscription due date. If the Subscriber does not cancel his/her subscription, the amended Terms will come into effect 1 (one) month following receipt of notification of the amendment of the Terms.

Article 17 – Community and Customer Service

As part of his/her access to and use of the Deezer HiFi Service, DEEZER provides the Subscriber with a community, accessible through the deezercommunity.com website (the “Community”) where the Subscriber will in particular be able to find information regarding the Deezer HiFi Service and interact with other Subscribers.
