Terms and conditions
1. About us and these terms
1.1 GB Music Radio is operated by GB Media Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17275917, with its registered office at The Point, 37 North Wharf Road, London W2 1AF (“GB Media”, “we”, “us”, “our”).
1.2 These terms apply to your use of the website at www.gbmusicradio.com, our web player, the GB Radio app, and any live or on-demand audio stream we provide (together, the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1.3 These terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which explain how we handle your personal data and use cookies.
1.4 When you listen through a third-party platform, such as a smart speaker, TuneIn, Nation Player or a DAB+ radio, that platform’s own terms also apply. We are not responsible for third-party platforms or devices.
2. Using the Service
2.1 The Service is free and is provided for your personal, non-commercial use only.
2.2 You must not:
- record, copy, rebroadcast, retransmit, redistribute or publicly perform the stream or any part of it, including in shops, bars, gyms or other business premises, without the appropriate licences and our written permission;
- embed, frame or relay the stream on another website, app or service without our written permission;
- use automated tools to scrape, harvest or extract data or content from the Service;
- interfere with, overload or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, our servers or networks;
- introduce viruses, malware or other harmful material;
- use the Service in any way that breaks the law or infringes anyone else’s rights.
2.3 Playing music in public or business premises usually needs separate licences, such as TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS Ltd. Holding those licences does not by itself give you permission to rebroadcast our stream.
3. Availability
3.1 We aim to keep the Service available 24 hours a day, but we do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free.
3.2 We may suspend, withdraw, restrict or change all or part of the Service, including our programming, schedule, playlists and listening platforms, for business or operational reasons. We will try to give reasonable notice where practical.
3.3 DAB+ coverage is limited to the areas we list on our website and depends on local reception. Streaming depends on your internet connection, and data charges from your network provider may apply.
4. Intellectual property
4.1 The GB Music Radio name, logo, on-air branding, jingles, website design and content are owned by or licensed to GB Media and are protected by copyright, trade mark and other laws.
4.2 The music we broadcast is owned by its respective rights holders and is used under licence. Nothing in these terms gives you any right to use it beyond listening for personal purposes.
4.3 You may not use our trade marks or branding without our prior written permission.
5. Your contributions
5.1 If you send us content, such as a song request, message, comment, voice note, photo or entry to a competition (a “Contribution”), you confirm that it is your own, that you have the right to send it, and that it does not break the law or infringe anyone’s rights.
5.2 You give us a free, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to use, edit, broadcast and publish your Contribution, together with your first name and town, on air, online and on social media, in connection with the Service. You keep ownership of your Contribution.
5.3 We are not obliged to use any Contribution and may edit or remove it at our discretion.
6. Competitions and promotions
Any competition or promotion we run will have its own rules, which will apply in addition to these terms. If the two conflict, the competition rules will apply.
7. Links and third-party services
The Service may contain links to other websites and services, including GB News, GB Media advertising and GBN Membership pages, and social media platforms. We are not responsible for the content or practices of sites we do not operate.
8. Our liability to you
8.1 Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.
8.2 The Service is provided free of charge and for personal use. We are not liable for any business losses, such as loss of profit, revenue, business opportunity or data.
8.3 We are not liable for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable, or for loss or damage caused by events outside our reasonable control.
8.4 If digital content we supply damages a device or other digital content belonging to you, and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. We are not liable for damage you could have avoided by following our advice to apply a free update, or by meeting the minimum system requirements we tell you about.
8.5 Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected by these terms.
9. Suspending your access
We may suspend or end your access to the Service if we reasonably believe you have broken these terms.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the law or the Service. The “last updated” date at the top shows when they were last changed. We will highlight significant changes on the website or in the app. If you keep using the Service after a change, the updated terms will apply.
11. General
11.1 If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect.
11.2 If we do not enforce a right straight away, we can still enforce it later.
11.3 These terms are between you and us. No other person has any right to enforce them.
11.4 We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation, for example a company in the GB Media group.
12. Law and courts
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. You can bring proceedings in the courts of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts.
