By using the Website you agree to follow these rules in these Terms and the rules of our Privacy Policy.

2. Intended Sharing

While we plan to have the Website available for use as much as possible, we reserve the right to suspend the operation of the Website and any services provided through the Website at any time. We are not responsible if you are harmed or inconvenienced because the Website or the services are unavailable. It is your responsibility to retain copies of the work you do on the Website.

You must provide your own computer and internet connection to access the Website. We also expect you to tell anyone who uses your Account about these rules and to ensure everyone who uses your Account follows these rules.

To get started with the Sage Audio services, you must create an Account on the Website (your “Account”). To create your Account, you must tell us about yourself so that we know whose Account it is. We want to know who you are, your email address, telephone number, home address, and we may occasionally ask you for other information depending on the services you use. We call this information your “Account Information”. We do require that you give us current, accurate, and complete information when you set up an Account. We will hold all your Account Information in accordance with the rules in our Privacy Policy.

When you set up an Account, you will select a username and password, and those “Credentials” are also part of your Account Information. If we ever implement other security requirements for accessing your Account – such as security questions – that information becomes part of your Credentials. Your Credentials are part of our security procedures that help us protect your Account Information. You should keep your Credentials a secret and not share them with anyone else. You are responsible for actions taken by anyone who accesses the Website using your Credentials, so if you become aware that your Credentials have been compromised, please contact us immediately.
