2. SERVICE DESCRIPTION 

​

Welcome to HitShot, the first emotional messenger.

 

We offer you the possibility of communicating, in a strictly private setting, with other users of the HitShot Application, notably by sending images, videos and emotional messages using short excerpts of songs illustrating a point, defending or criticizing an opinion, a conviction, and/or for informative, humorous purposes and more generally to generate an emotional reaction in your recipient ("Musical Quotes"). 

​

The HitShot Application also allows you to discover new artists and listen to their works on the legal streaming platforms of your choice (free access or by paid subscription).

​

The Services are provided for private, non-commercial use.

 

Please note that there are important differences between our Services and your mobile, landline and SMS services. It is important to note that our Services do not provide access to emergency services or emergency service providers, including police, fire or hospital services, or any other connection to emergency call centers. You should ensure that you are able to contact the relevant emergency services via a cell phone, landline or other service.

​

The HitShot Services and Application are intended only for persons 13 years of age and older. 

 

You may use the HitShot Services and Application via the HitShot mobile app available on IOS™ and Android™. Some features are only available on the App. In addition, some Services or features may not be available in your country or region. Different features may be available in different versions of the Services. 


Some features are not available to users under a certain age. 

 

We strive to provide the Services without significant interruptions and to continually improve the Service. However, the Service may become unavailable in whole or in part at times during scheduled or unscheduled downtime, including in the event of maintenance or technical difficulties.

​

3. ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

​

Les Conditions constituent un accord juridiquement contraignant conclu entre vous et nous. Veuillez prendre le temps de les lire attentivement et si vous n'êtes pas d'accord avec leur contenu, veuillez ne pas vous inscrire, accéder ou utiliser les Services.

​

Veuillez également consulter notre Politique de confidentialité, qui régit la façon dont nous utilisons vos informations personnelles et nos Règles en matière de Propriété Intellectuelle. 

​

Si vous accédez ou utilisez les Services pour le compte d'une entreprise ou entité, alors (a) les termes « vous » et « votre » désignent cette entreprise ou entité et vous, (b) vous déclarez et garantissez que vous êtes un représentant autorisé de l'entreprise ou de l'entité ayant le pouvoir de lier l'entité à ces Conditions, que vous acceptez ces Conditions pour le compte de l'entité, et que (c) votre entreprise ou entité est légalement et financièrement responsable de votre accès ou utilisation des Services ainsi que de l'accès ou l'utilisation de votre compte par d'autres affiliés à votre entité, y compris les employés, agents ou sous-traitants de celle-ci.

Pour pouvoir utiliser nos Services, vous consentez à télécharger et installer manuellement ou automatiquement les mises à jour de nos Services. Vous acceptez également que nous vous envoyions des notifications par le biais de nos Services de temps à autre, dans la mesure nécessaire pour vous fournir nos Services.

​

Vous êtes responsable de l’ensemble des frais d’abonnement au service de données de votre opérateur, des frais Internet et des autres taxes et frais associés à votre utilisation de nos Services.


4. USER ACCOUNT CREATION

To access or use our Services, you must create a user account within the HitShot Application. When you create an account, you must provide accurate and current information and provide your current cell phone number and, if it changes, update it using our in-app number change feature. You agree to receive text messages and phone calls (from us or our third party providers) providing you with the codes necessary to register for our Services.

​

 

It is important that you maintain and promptly update your contact information and any other information you provide to us so that such information is current and complete. The Terms are also available on the HitShot App at all times. It is important that you keep your account password confidential and not disclose it to third parties. If you know or suspect that a third party knows your password or has accessed your account, you must promptly notify us at hello@hitshot.io.

​

 

To let you know if your friends are using the HitShot Application, you can use the contact import feature and provide us with the phone numbers in your phone's address book on a regular basis.

 

5. EXPRESSION OF EMOTIONS

On the HitShot Application, you have the possibility to add a specific emotion to your private messages in order to communicate a feeling to your recipients.

​

 

To do this, the HitShot Application allows you to send your friends the Musical Quote that best corresponds to the emotion to be shared, based on several criteria (meaning of the message, mood, language, duration, theme, etc.). These criteria allow HitShot to offer you the best experience both in preparing and receiving these emotional messages.

​

6. CHANGES TO TERMS AND SERVICES

We are constantly innovating, changing and improving the Services. We may also change these Terms from time to time, for example, when we update the functionality of the Services or when regulatory changes occur that impact these Terms or the Services. 

​

 

We will provide reasonable notice, such as through a notice on our HitShot Application, prior to any material changes to these Terms or our Services that would have a material adverse effect on you or that would substantially limit access to or use of our Services. However, you should check the Terms periodically to see if any such changes have been made. We will also change the "Last Updated" date listed above in these Terms to reflect the effective date of the most recent update to the version of these Terms. Because we do not permit use of the Services by persons who do not agree to abide by our Terms, your continued access or use of the Services after the date of the new Terms constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, you must stop accessing or using the Services and close your account (if any).

​

 

For changes that are made to the Terms or Services to meet safety, security or regulatory requirements, we may not be able to notify you in advance of the changes, but we will notify you as soon as possible.

 

7. RESIGNATION 

We reserve the right to suspend, temporarily or permanently, or terminate your user account, impose limits or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services with or without notice, at any time, for any reason, including:

​

  • if we reasonably believe that you are violating, or have objective grounds to reasonably believe that you are about to violate, the Terms, including any incorporated agreements, policies or guidelines (such as our Intellectual Property Rules), or any applicable law or regulation.    

  • if any activity occurs on your account that we believe damages or may damage or harm our Services, ourselves, or may infringe the rights of others (including intellectual property rights); 

  • in response to requests by law enforcement or other government agencies under applicable legal process; 

  • due to unexpected technical or security problems; or 

  • for extended periods of inactivity on your account. 

​

 

If we suspend or permanently terminate your user account, we will notify you in advance to allow you time to access and store your information and content, unless we have reason to believe that continued access to your account would be detrimental to our services or us, or would violate requests from law enforcement or other government agencies, laws or regulations, or the rights of third parties. 

​

 

Without prejudice to your legal rights, if your account is temporarily or permanently suspended or terminated, access to your username, password and any related information or content associated with your account may be suspended or terminated. Because we do not guarantee the continued availability of your content, you should make backups of any content that is valuable to you. 

​

 

If you no longer wish to use our Services, you may request deletion of your account via the features provided on the HitShot App. You may also contact us via the form at www.hitshot.io/contact and we will provide you with more information and guide you through the process of deleting your account.

RULES OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW

 

HitShot respects the intellectual property rights of others and we expect our users to do the same. HitShot's Terms of Service prohibit posting, sharing or sending any content that infringes on a copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right of another.

​

13. Copyright

13.1. Copyright is a right provided by the law under which you are governed that protects original works of the mind (e.g., music, video, etc.). 

​

 

13.2 Under European Union law, Users are permitted to use copyrighted works without the permission of the copyright owner for the purposes of quotation, criticism, review, or caricature, parody or pastiche, provided that such use is reasonable. European Union countries may also provide for additional exceptions. 

​

 

More information about the exceptions and limitations to copyright that apply in the European Union can be found below:

​

  •     Quotation, criticism and review
    Quotation is the use of an excerpt from a copyrighted work for purposes such as illustrating a point, defending an opinion, or participating in a debate. Quotations may also be used for the purpose of criticizing a copyrighted work (e.g., critical commentary on a film) or reviewing such a work (e.g., reviewing a book or a music album).

​

  •     Caricature, parody and pastiche

Cartoons are intended to exaggerate or distort reality, usually for humorous purposes. A parody evokes an existing copyrighted work while being substantially different from it and is an expression of humour or derision. A pastiche will generally incorporate distinctive elements of other works or styles into a new work.

​

 

In order for a use of a copyrighted work to qualify for an exception or limitation, it must be reasonable, which means that it must: (i) be no longer than necessary; (ii) be accompanied by sufficient acknowledgement of the original source; and (iii) not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the rights holder.

​

 

Videos that fall under an exception or limitation to copyright are still subject to our Community Rules. This means that these videos must not contain hate speech, must not involve hateful behavior, and must not be used to insult, mock, humiliate, embarrass, intimidate or harm anyone.


Please note that, in accordance with its legal obligations, HitShot provides a copyright infringement dispute resolution mechanism for users and rights holders. However, users remain free to assert their rights in the courts.

​

13.3. Violation of copyright 

We do not permit any content that infringes on copyright. Use of copyrighted content without the permission of the copyright holders or without a valid legal reason may result in a violation of HitShot's rules and policies.

​

 

However, not all unauthorized uses of copyrighted material constitute copyright infringement. In many countries, there are exceptions to copyright law that permit the unauthorized use of copyrighted works in certain circumstances. These include the doctrine of fair use in the United States and the exceptions and limitations to copyright in the European Union (and any equivalent exceptions under the local laws of other countries).

​

13.4. Content Removal - Account Suspension or Termination

Any user content that infringes on the copyright of a third party may be removed from HitShot. Any user account may be suspended or terminated for multiple copyright violations on HitShot or other violations of the Terms of Service. We reserve the right to deny any account holder, whose account has been used for unauthorized activities, the right to open a new account on HitShot or any other site or application hosted by HitShot.

 

13.5. Reporting a copyright infringement

Contacting the user directly may allow you to resolve your complaint more quickly and efficiently for you, the user and our community. You may also file a Report of Copyright Infringement to request the removal of allegedly infringing content from HitShot. 

​

 

All complaints must contain the information requested in our online Report of Copyright Infringement form. Failure to include this required information may limit our ability to investigate your claim and may result in its dismissal.

​
