Your Cymatrax Account
If you register an “Account” on our Website, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the Account and any other actions taken in connection with your use of our Service. You must immediately notify Cymatrax of any unauthorized uses of your Account or any other breaches of security. Cymatrax will not be liable for any acts or omissions by You, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.
It is Cymatrax’s policy that, if your account information or Content stored on our servers is requested for the purpose of a legal investigation, we will notify you of this request prior to disclosure, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law.
Your Content
Cymtrax is not a data storage or backup service. We do not backup your Content, and you are responsible for keeping backups of your own work.
Your Productions and any associated audio or video files will be permanently deleted from our servers including all its metadata and possible data from external services after a certain number of days, which we will announce on your Account’s production list (21 days for audio, 7 days for video and API productions). We will, however, keep billing metadata associated with your Productions in an internal database (how many hours of audio you processed).
Also, we might store selected audio and/or video files (or excerpts thereof) from your Content in an internal storage space for the purpose of improving our audio processing algorithms. You will not have access to either this internal database or storage space, and we do not guarantee that we will keep your metadata or audio or video files for any specific period of time.
When using our Service, you fully retain any rights that you have with regards to your Content, including copyright. The only rights with regards to your Content that you grant Cymatrax are for the following two purposes:
- To run your Productions, such that Cymatrax can create new media files from your Content according to your instructions.
- To improve our audio processing algorithms. For this purpose, you agree that your Content may be viewed and/or listened to by a Cymatrax employee or any person contracted by Cymatrax to work on our audio processing algorithms.
We will not share your Content, or metadata associated with or generated from your Content, with third parties. We might occasionally share statistical data concerning the Productions of our users with third parties, but if we do so, the data will be presented in an aggregated form that is not ascribable to an individual user.
Payments
One-time payments are available on the website. Paid fees are never refundable.
Services with subscription (recurring) will be individually calculated and contracted through our sales department to individual subscribers. All inquiries to a custom rate of subscription should contact sales@cymatrax.com for individual pricing rates. Subscription payments will be charged on the day you sign up for the service and will cover the use of that service Subscription payments can be canceled at any time with notification to our sales department. There are no refunds for cost to user at agreed rate due to higher volume use of the Cymatrax technology. Volume contracted rates are good for one year from the date of signing. Any change or renegotiation of any contract “in service” must be ratified by our sales department prior to new rates applied to service. Failure to volume use during contracted year may incur additional charges on your account. Again, if for any reason your upload volume has an unforeseeable delay issue, contact our sales department. If you fail to make payment for your selected service on time, we reserve the right to suspend your account, or reduce your service rates to individual service upload rates.
We may change terms and features for any contract accounts at any time but will give you advance notice of these changes via a message to the email address associated with your account.
