Terms of Use

  1. Introduction

The Pitch Inc. (“The Pitch”, “we”, “us” or “our”) owns and operates a business-to-business Application that brings performing artists and touring musicians together with arts presenters and concert buyers at the www.ThePitch.ca  (the “Application”). The Application is purpose built to build a broad, trusted community of touring artists, agencies, performance companies, presenting networks, presenters, and venues seeking live or digital performances. Through the Application, we seek to provide users with (i) an opportunity for users to offer and view video-based performance pitches in customizable showcases (each, a “Performance Pitch”); and (ii) access to digital content creation and discovery that enables users to make connections with other users through the functionality of the Application (collectively, the “Services”).

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Application and the Services. These Terms incorporate The Pitch’s Privacy Policy by reference. You can access our Privacy Policy here.

Please read these Terms carefully. They constitute a legal agreement between you and The Pitch. By accessing or using the Application or the Services, you confirm your agreement to accept and be bound by these Terms, as they may be amended from time to time (see below), in relation to your entire relationship with The Pitch, both before and after your acceptance of these Terms. If the individual who accepts these Terms is accepting on behalf of a company or other legal entity, that individual represents that they have the authority to bind that entity and its affiliates to these Terms, in which case the terms “you”, “your”, and “yourself” also refers to that entity and its affiliates. If the individual who accepts these Terms does not have that authority, or does not agree with these Terms, that individual and the company or other legal entity they represent must not accept these Terms and may not access or use the Application or the Services.

  1. Account Creation

To use or access the Application and Services, you must sign up for, open, and maintain an account with The Pitch and pay the subscription fees in the manner specified in section 3 below.

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to create an account. If you are under the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, or if you are under the age of majority in the location from which you are using or accessing the Application, you may not use or access the Application and the Services.

By creating an account, you represent, warrant, and agree that you (i) can form a binding contract with us; (ii) will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws; (iii) will provide accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by our registration form or otherwise; and (iv) will maintain and update your information, including your contact information, so that it remains accurate, current, and complete at all times.

You are responsible for the confidentiality and use of your username and password and agree not to transfer to any third-party your right to use or access the Application or Services via your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use, theft, or appropriation of your account, username, or password. We will not be liable for any loss that you incur as a result of someone else using your account, username, or password, either with or without your knowledge or permission.

  1. Subscription Fees

Registration and Subscription Fees

By completing your registration for an account, you authorize us (or our third party payment processor) to charge you a subscription fee, plus applicable taxes on a recurring basis in accordance with the offering you select during the account creation process. The taxes payable in connection with your subscription fees will depend on your jurisdiction of residence.

Billing Terms and Promotions

The subscription fees will be charged to you on an annual basis against the credit card that you provide to use during the registration of your account. If the credit card payment is declined, you agree that you will no longer be able to access or use the Application or the Services, and we may suspend or terminate your access to any and all Proprietary Property and User Content.

Subscription fees will be charged to you at the then-current rate either (i) immediately upon the commencement of your subscription; or (ii) if your access and use of the Application and Services is offered without charge for a set period of time, with an initial time period included, or on a reduced fee basis for an initial period (each, a “Promotion”), automatically following the end of such period unless you cancel prior to the end of the applicable Promotion. For example, for a monthly subscription, you will be charged the subscription fee on a monthly basis each month of the term of your subscription. If you wish to avoid such charges, you must cancel your subscription prior to the end of the applicable Promotion term or subscription term in accordance with the terms of the Promotion and these Terms.

Cancellation

You may cancel your recurring subscription by cancelling your subscription through the Application. Your failure to cancel your subscription during the current term of your subscription will result in the renewal of your subscription automatically. For example, if your monthly subscription period commences on the 15th day of the month, you may cancel your subscription at any time prior to the 14th day of the following month to avoid being charged the subscription fee for the following month.

If you cancel your subscription, you will not be refunded or credited for any portion of any subscription fee that has already been paid; however, you will be able to access and use the Application and the Services until the end of the month to which your last paid subscription fees relate.

No Refunds

All subscription fees are non-refundable and non-cancellable. We will not provide refunds or credits for any subscription fees or other amounts paid for any period during which you did not use or access the Application or the Services.

  1. Termination and Suspensions

  • any information provided by you is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete; or

You may not assign, transfer, sublicense, or convey these Terms, including any rights granted by The Pitch and obligations assumed by you, except with The Pitch’s prior written consent. We may assign, transfer, sublicense, or convey these Terms, and our rights and obligations under them, to any third party without notice to you.

No waiver of satisfaction of a condition or non-performance of an obligation under these Terms is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver or that party’s authorized representative. Unless expressly granted in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver or that party’s authorized representative, no waiver will extend to any subsequent non-satisfaction of a condition or non-performance of an obligation under these Terms, whether or not of the same or similar nature to that which was waived. No waiver will affect the exercise of any other rights or remedies under these Terms.
