By accessing, browsing, or using the website located at prodethan.com (the "Site") and any services or digital products provided therein, you ("User", "you", or "your") agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service. These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Yichen Liu operating as prodethan ("Company", "we", "us", or "our").

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you are strictly prohibited from using the Site and must discontinue use immediately.

1. ACCEPTANCE AND ELIGIBILITY

1.1. Affirmation of Consent. By clicking "Accept," "Buy," or by continued use of the Site, you affirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
1.2. Age of Majority. You represent and warrant that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence (18 years of age in Ontario). If you are under the age of 18, you represent that you have obtained the express consent of a parent or legal guardian to use this Site and enter into financial transactions.

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

2.1. Proprietary Content. All audio files, beats, musical compositions, sound kits, loops, and trademarks (collectively, the "Content") are the exclusive intellectual property of the Company and are protected by Canadian and International copyright laws.
2.2. Open Source Software. While the underlying source code of the Site may be available under an open-source license (e.g., MIT/GPL) via GitHub, such license does not extend to the Content. Use of the Site's code does not grant any ownership or usage rights to the musical assets contained herein.
2.3. No Transfer of Copyright. Unless explicitly stated in a signed "Exclusive Purchase Agreement," the sale of any digital product constitutes a Limited License and not a transfer of the underlying copyright or ownership.

3. LICENSING AND PRODUCT USE

3.1. License Agreement. Each purchase is governed by a specific "Beat License Agreement" provided at the time of delivery. These Terms of Service are incorporated by reference into every license issued.
3.2. Automatic Revocation. Any breach of these Terms or the specific License Agreement (including, but not limited to, unauthorized reselling, fraud, or chargebacks) shall result in the immediate and automatic termination of your license. Upon revocation, any further use of the Content shall be deemed willful copyright infringement.
3.3. Prohibited Registration. You are strictly prohibited from registering any Content or derivative works containing our beats with any "Content ID" or "Fingerprinting" services (e.g., YouTube Content ID, Facebook Rights Manager) unless you have purchased an Exclusive License expressly permitting such action.
3.4. AI Training Prohibition. You may not use the Content for the purpose of training machine learning or artificial intelligence models without express written consent from the Company.

4. PAYMENTS AND REFUNDS

4.1. Third-Party Processing. All financial transactions are processed securely through Stripe. By initiating a purchase, you acknowledge that your transaction is also subject to the Stripe Checkout Terms and Privacy Policy. The Company does not store, process, or have access to your sensitive payment information (e.g. credit or debit card number).
4.2. No Refunds. Due to the non-tangible, irrevocable nature of digital downloads, all sales are final. No refunds, exchanges, or credits will be issued once the download link has been generated or delivered via email.
4.3. Taxes. You are responsible for all sales taxes, use taxes, and duties applicable to your jurisdiction.

5. USER ACCOUNTS AND DATA

5.1. Guest Sessions. Anonymous users are tracked via session-based data. If you lose your browser session data, you may lose access to your download area. The Company is not liable for lost access due to cleared caches or deleted cookies.
5.2. Data Archiving. When a user account or comment is deleted, the data is removed from public view but remains archived in our secure database for legal, tax, and license verification purposes. Manual deletion requests ("Right to be Forgotten") will be honored in accordance with Canadian law (PIPEDA).
5.3. Right to Modify. We reserve the right to modify, archive, or delete any user-generated data (including profile pictures and comments) that we deem, in our sole discretion, to be harmful, offensive, or in violation of these Terms.
