Terms of Service
Effective date: 2026-07-30
1. About these terms
These terms govern your access to and use of Babbage Official Website, operated by Babbage from West Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, including any music, downloads, purchases, memberships, forms, and other features offered through the website. By using the website, you agree to these terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the website.
2. Eligibility
You must be legally capable of entering into these terms. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use transaction, membership, or account features only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the website is lawful in your jurisdiction.
3. Permission to use the website
Subject to these terms, Babbage grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to access the website and its publicly available content for personal, non-commercial purposes. This permission does not transfer ownership of any content or intellectual property.
4. Intellectual property
Music, recordings, compositions, artwork, photographs, videos, writing, graphics, logos, trademarks, design, software, and other content on the website are owned by or licensed to Babbage or the applicable rights holder and are protected by intellectual-property laws.
Except where a feature or offer expressly permits it, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, synchronize, license, sell, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit website content. Links and embeds provided by streaming or other third-party services remain subject to those services’ rules.
5. Music and digital downloads
Unless a download expressly includes a different licence, downloaded music and digital content are provided for your personal, non-commercial use. You may make reasonable personal backup copies, but you may not upload, share, redistribute, resell, broadcast, publicly perform, synchronize, sample, or use the content in another project without permission from the applicable rights holder.
6. Purchases, pricing, and taxes
Where products or paid services are offered, the description, price, currency, availability, delivery method, and any material restrictions will be shown before purchase. Prices may change prospectively without notice. Applicable taxes, shipping charges, duties, exchange fees, or other charges may be added where disclosed or required.
You agree to provide current and accurate purchase information and authorize the applicable payment provider to charge the displayed total. An order confirmation does not guarantee acceptance if an item is unavailable, the price was clearly erroneous, or the transaction is suspected to be unlawful or fraudulent. In those circumstances, the order may be cancelled and any captured payment refunded.
7. Fulfilment, refunds, and cancellations
Digital items are generally delivered electronically to the address or account supplied at checkout. Physical-item delivery estimates, where offered, are estimates rather than guarantees unless applicable law provides otherwise.
Refund and cancellation rights depend on the item, the offer shown at purchase, and applicable consumer law. Nothing in these terms limits a mandatory refund, cancellation, warranty, or other consumer right that cannot legally be excluded. Contact us promptly if an item is defective, not delivered, or materially different from its description.
8. Supporter memberships and recurring payments
Where supporter memberships or subscriptions are offered, the price, billing frequency, included benefits, renewal terms, and cancellation method will be disclosed before signup. By starting a recurring membership, you authorize recurring charges until cancellation.
You may cancel future renewals through the method provided with the offer or by contacting us. Unless the offer or applicable law says otherwise, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period and amounts already charged are not prorated. Benefits may change prospectively, but material changes will be communicated as required.
9. Mailing lists and free-download offers
When you submit an email address for a mailing list or a download offered in exchange for signup, the form explains what you will receive. You may unsubscribe from marketing messages at any time. Download access is personal and may be limited or withdrawn if the offer expires or is abused. Our collection and use of contact information is described in the Privacy Policy.
10. Events and tickets
Where the website lists shows or links to tickets, event dates, venues, lineups, accessibility, admission rules, refunds, and cancellations may be controlled by the venue, promoter, or ticketing provider. Review the applicable ticket seller’s terms before purchasing. Event information may change, and the official ticketing source controls in the event of a conflict.
11. Messages and submissions
If you send a message, review, contest entry, suggestion, or other submission, you represent that you have the right to provide it and that it is not unlawful, misleading, defamatory, abusive, infringing, or harmful. You retain ownership of your submission, but grant us a non-exclusive permission to use it as reasonably necessary to respond, administer the applicable feature, and operate the website. We will request separate permission before using a private communication for public promotion.
12. Acceptable use
You must not:
- interfere with, damage, overload, or disrupt the website or another person’s use of it; - attempt unauthorized access to systems, accounts, data, or non-public areas; - introduce malware or use automated tools to scrape, harvest, or copy content at scale; - evade access, security, rate, geographic, or purchase restrictions; - impersonate another person, submit false transaction information, or engage in fraud; - use the website to violate law or another person’s privacy, publicity, contractual, or intellectual-property rights; or - use website content, data, or services to train or improve a machine-learning model without prior written permission.
13. Third-party services and links
The website may link to or embed streaming platforms, ticketing services, stores, social networks, payment providers, analytics providers, and other third parties. Those services are independent and governed by their own terms and policies. Babbage does not control and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, pricing, or practices. A link or embed does not necessarily mean endorsement.
14. Website availability and changes
We may update, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the website, content, or offer. We try to keep information accurate and the website available, but errors, delays, and interruptions can occur. We may correct typographical errors, inaccurate descriptions, or obvious pricing mistakes.
15. Disclaimers
The website and its content are provided on an “as available” and “as is” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Babbage disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not promise that content will remain available or that use of the website will achieve a particular result.
These disclaimers do not exclude warranties or consumer protections that cannot legally be excluded.
16. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Babbage, Velveteen, and their respective personnel and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential loss, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or opportunity, arising from or related to the website.
Where liability cannot be excluded, aggregate liability will be limited to the greater of the amount you paid directly through the website during the six months before the event giving rise to the claim and the minimum amount required by applicable law. These limits do not apply where prohibited, including liability that cannot legally be limited.
17. Suspension and termination
We may restrict or terminate access to the website or a feature if you materially breach these terms, create security or legal risk, misuse an offer, or fail to pay an applicable charge. Provisions that by their nature should continue—including intellectual-property, payment, disclaimer, liability, and dispute provisions—survive termination.
18. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Courts located in that jurisdiction will have non-exclusive jurisdiction, except where the mandatory laws of your home jurisdiction give you the right to bring a claim elsewhere. Before starting a formal claim, we encourage you to contact us so the concern can be addressed informally.
Nothing in these terms limits mandatory consumer rights or prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief where appropriate.
19. General terms
If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified only as much as necessary and the remaining provisions will continue. A delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer your rights under these terms without consent; we may transfer these terms as part of a business reorganization or transfer. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement concerning your use of the website, except for additional terms presented with a specific purchase or feature.
20. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the website, its services, or legal requirements change. The revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. If a material change affects an active paid service, we will provide any additional notice required by law. Continued use after the revised terms take effect constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
21. Contact
For questions, complaints, refund requests, or notices concerning these terms, contact Babbage using the contact details published on this website.
