Terms and Conditions

Chilluminati, LLC Terms of Service

Updated August 27, 2017

Welcome to The Chilluminati, a Website created by Chilluminati, LLC, (“Chilluminati” “We,” “Us”) which lives at chilluminati.events (“Chilluminati,” “Website,” “Site”). This Terms of Service (“Terms”), which incorporates our Privacy Policy,  is a contract between Us and you that articulates your rights and our rights relating to the Site.

Don’t stop reading, please. These rules are important! By using the Site, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms. You should know what they say, especially because if you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use the Site.

FOR THOSE ASKING, “WHAT IS Chilluminati?”

Chilluminati is a Website devoted to psychedelic trance music and culture. We host events, publish articles, links to things we find interesting online, podcasts, videos and art created by the Chilluminati team and other invited contributors. We also provide a discussion forum so you can participate in the conversation; and sell merchandise. Chilluminati, LLC. is a Florida-based company whose data servers are housed in Georgia.

AND NOW FOR THE LEGALESE

Chilluminati grants you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use Chilluminati in the manner described herein.

Tl;dr: This means that you can read, listen to, watch, and intellectually consume everything on the Site, plus participate in our Forums. In exchange, we ask that you use the Site in the manner and spirit for which it was created and that you adhere to the policies that govern the Site’s use.

So in case it is unclear, you are NOT permitted to interrupt the serving of our Site, introduce malicious code to our forum, assist anyone in misusing the Site in any way, or use the Site to violate the law or the safety or dignity of another person in any way. It takes a lot of work to make this site run. Be cool.

ACCOUNT CREATION

You can browse the Site without logging in. However, to participate in our Discussion Forum, you need to create an account.

To participate in the forum, you may create a new account, use an existing user name and password or log-in using one of your social networking user name and passwords. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs with your account, regardless of whether you have authorized such activities. If the security of your account has been compromised, contact us immediately.

THIS IS OUR HOUSE

We may, in our sole discretion and without any forewarning, suspend or terminate your account for violating these Terms, or for any other reason we choose. We can remove your User Content without any forewarning, for any reason we choose. And even when we don’t terminate you or remove your stuff, we want to be clear that it does not imply that we assume any responsibility for, or endorse your User Content.

We can also remove the content we post on our site, without any forewarning, for any reason we choose.

RATED PG-13

We have kids. We love kids.  Really we do. But the United States government has put limits on our ability to accept users under a certain age through the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. So to be clear, Chilluminati is not intended for users under the age of 13. Nobody under 13 may create an account or use any part of the Site that requires the submission of personally identifiable information, like email or name. Any account that is created by a person under 13 will be terminated and any content created will be removed from the Site.

CC: NON-COMMERCIAL SHARING WITH ATTRIBUTION

Except where indicated, Chilluminati editorial-created content is licensed under a Creative Commons License permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution. This means that you may link to it and otherwise share it, but if you do, you need to give us credit. You may not use our editorial-created content in any commercial capacity. But if you have an idea for collaboration, it never hurts to ask us nicely.

YOU ASSERT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PUBLISH WHAT YOU POST

Anything that you submit or make available on our discussion forum or elsewhere on our site is considered “User Content.” This includes comments that you write, as well as items that you upload or link to, like images, videos, graphics, audio files, text or other works. When you make User Content available on Chilluminati, you are asserting that you have all the relevant copyright, trademark and intellectual property rights to make that work available or have a well-reasoned belief that your republication of the work is a “fair use.” We are creators and this is very important to us. Please do not post stuff that you do not have the right to post.

YOU GRANT US THE RIGHT TO USE YOUR STUFF

By submitting User Content, you grant us an unlimited license to use your content in any way we choose. This includes creative uses such as republishing the work on our Website, forums, and elsewhere, and practical uses such as copying your content to make back ups of it, displaying it on the website, and distributing and modifying it as needed to make the Site work.

Because our servers are located remotely, and because User Content is retained indefinitely, you grant us these rights worldwide and irrevocably, and agree that we don’t owe you royalties for any use of your content based on these rights, unless expressly implied.

YOU GRANT THE COMMUNITY THE RIGHT TO REUSE YOUR STUFF

Further, when you make User Content available on Chilluminati, you grant the world a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License to it. Be mindful of this when you post.


MERCHANDISE AND EVENT TICKET SALES

All sales are final, period. We use a variety of payment processors including, but not limited to, PayPal, BitCoin, Stripe and Square. You agree that Chilluminati shall not be responsible or liable for any losses or damages incurred from those transactions.  The PayPal Privacy & Security policy can be found on their site. Same with the other guys. 🙂

Since we are based in Florida, sales tax will be collected for orders originating from Florida for intangible goods such as ticket sales and music downloads, and for orders shipping to Florida for physical goods such as t-shirts, CDs, posters, etc. The current Florida sales tax rate is 6%.
