If we do this, we will post the changes to these terms and conditions on this page and will indicate the effective date at the top. If you do not agree to (or cannot comply with) the terms and conditions as amended, your only remedy is to stop using the Website/Service.

2 THE SERVICES
2.1 Services. The Website provides digital media download and streaming services (“the Services”) designed to enable you to purchase legal digital media. The Services are for your own personal and non-commercial use and you are not authorised to make any copies of any downloads or streams other than for personal use.
3 OBJECTIONABLE MATERIAL
3.1 Objectionable Material. You understand that by using the Services, you may encounter content that may be deemed offensive, indecent, or objectionable, which content may or may not be identified as having explicit language. Nevertheless, you agree to use the Service at your sole risk and Seance Limited will not be liable to you for content that may be found to be offensive, indecent, or objectionable. Seance Limited does not guarantee the accuracy of any descriptions provided on our Websites.
4 CHILD SUPERVISION
4.1 Accessing the Websites. We are concerned about the safety and privacy of our users, particularly children. Parents who wish to allow their children access to and use of the Websites should supervise such access and use. It is your responsibility to determine which if any portions of the Website are suitable for your child to access.
5 AGE RESTRICTION TO REGISTER FOR SERVICES
5.1 Registering for the Services. You must be at least 18 years of age to agree to and enter into a contract on your own behalf and to register for use of the Services. If you are under 18 but at least 13 years of age, you must present these terms and conditions to your parent or legal guardian, and he or she may consent on your behalf.
5.2 Minimum Age. Children under the age of 13 may not register for the Services, and parents or legal guardians may not register on their behalf. By registering for the Services, you represent that (i) you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions (ii) you are at least 18 years old, either entering into this contract for yourself or entering on behalf of your child or a child in your legal care aged 13 or over.
5.3 Full Access. If you are a parent or guardian allowing your child access to the Services you are allowing your child access to all of the Services.

You are fully responsible for his or her use of the Website/Services, including all financial charges and legal liability that he or she may incur. If you do not agree to (or cannot comply with) any of these terms and conditions, do not register and do not attempt to access the Service.
6 PRIVACY POLICY
We recognise that your privacy is very important to you and that it is your right to control your personal information. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that trust seriously.
6.1 Personal Information. If you register for any of the Services you will be asked to provide basic personal information. The information is used solely for notifying you of changes or updates to the Website/Services. Seance Limited will never sell, rent or otherwise disclose any of your personal information, including your email address, to any third party without your consent unless: 1) we are required to by law; or 2) if it is necessary to provide the Services.
6.2 Communications from Us and Mailing Lists. In order to keep our users informed about the operation of our Website/Services, we may send e-mails and announcements to your personal email address that you have provided to us upon registration. We may also offer options for you to sign up for our mailing lists without having to use any product or service. For additional information and offers, we give you the option of joining our mailing lists. We may also allow you to choose whether to receive mailings from record labels and other promotional partners that we think will be of interest to you. Any promotional e-mail from us will come with instructions for how to unsubscribe from the mailing list.
6.3 Competitions. We may hold competitions in connection with the Service, or in partnership with one or more of our partners or sponsors, as part of which, we may request contact information from you when you enter. We will use the information you provide to conduct the competitions and for other purposes to which you consent. If we offer competitions with third parties, we may share the information we obtain from you with them. If that is the case, then we will notify you that we are sharing your personal information with such partner at the point where we collect it and you will be able to choose whether to participate in the applicable competition.
6.4 Payment Information. If you pay Seance Limited for the Services, your payment information will only be used to check that it is a valid method of payment and to process your payment. No payment information is kept by Seance Limited.
6.5 Use of Vouchers. Vouchers for Services may be provided from time to time by Seance Limited, its partners or sponsors. If you redeem a voucher to pay for Services, you may be required to provide additional personal information which may be shared with a third party. If that is the case, then we will notify you that we are sharing your personal information with such partner at the point where we collect it and you will be able to choose whether to use the voucher.
6.6 Your Rights. If you are a registered user, you have certain rights under the 1998 Data Protection Act. You have the right to be told what personal information we hold about you on our database.
6.7 Cookies and Third Party Advertising. We use a technology called “cookies” as part of our normal business procedure to enhance the user experience and to track patterns of behaviour of visitors to the Website. A cookie is an element of data that the Website sends to your browser that is then stored on your system. You can set your browser to prevent this happening. Any information collected in this way can be used to identify you unless you change your browser settings. Seance Limited uses third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Websites. These companies may use anonymised information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
6.8 Security. Seance Limited has implemented technology and security features, as well as strict internal guidelines, to safeguard the privacy of your personal information from unauthorised access or improper use. We employ SSL encryption to secure your personal data and payment information. We will continue to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes available. While we make every effort to ensure that your information is secure on our system, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
7 USER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD AND SECURITY
7.1 Password Security. If a particular Service requires you to open an account you will be required to complete the registration process by providing certain information and registering a username and password for use with that Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the username and password. You are fully responsible for any unauthorised person’s use of the Website/Services, including all financial charges and legal liability that he or she may incur. We recommend that you change your password from time to time for additional security. If you believe someone has accessed any Service using your user name and password without your authorisation, it is your responsibility to set up a new password.
7.2 Unauthorised Access. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of your password or account or any other breach of security. In no event will Seance Limited be liable for any indirect or consequential loss or damage whatsoever resulting from the disclosure of your username and/or password. You may not use another person’s account at any time, without the express permission of the account holder. You agree that we will be entitled to assume that any person logging into the Websites using your username and password is either you or someone doing so with your permission.
