These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", or "your") and GiveMood Radio ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") governing your access to and use of the website, platform, and related services (collectively, the "Service") available at givemood.com and its subdomains.

By accessing or using the Service in any manner — including browsing the website, creating a radio station, or listening to a station — you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, business, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case "you" refers to both you individually and that entity.

2 Description of Service

GiveMood Radio is a web-based platform that enables users to create and share synchronized, continuous audio radio stations powered by publicly available YouTube playlists and albums. Key features of the Service include:

• Station Creation: Users may create custom radio stations by submitting YouTube playlist URLs. Each station is assigned a unique identifier and is accessible via a shareable URL.
• Synchronized Playback: All listeners who tune into the same station hear the same track at the same position in real time, creating a shared listening experience.
• Live Listener Count: The Service displays an approximate count of concurrent listeners for each station using anonymous heartbeat technology.
• Recently Played History: The Service maintains a local (device-side) history of recently played tracks for your convenience.
• Progressive Web App: The Service is available as an installable PWA on compatible devices.

The Service acts exclusively as a player and synchronization layer for content hosted on and served by YouTube. We do not host, store, transcode, or redistribute any audio or video content ourselves. All media is streamed directly from YouTube's servers to your device via YouTube's official IFrame Player API in compliance with YouTube's Terms of Service.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.

• Legal capacity: You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction.
• Not suspended: You must not have had your access to the Service previously suspended or terminated for violation of these Terms.
• Compliance with laws: Your use of the Service must not violate any applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations.
