Terms Of Use

Effective Date: July 3, 2026

Welcome

Welcome to Universe Apart Media. By visiting this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. They’re written in plain English because life’s complicated enough already.

If you don’t agree with these terms, that’s perfectly okay. We hope you’ll remember us fondly as you close your browser tab.


Enjoy the Music

Everything on this website is here because someone spent time creating it.

Please enjoy the music, artwork, writing, and other creative works.

Please don’t copy, redistribute, claim ownership of, or repost our work without permission.

Being inspired is encouraged.

Being a pirate is not.


Acceptable Use

You’re welcome to browse, listen, and explore.

Please don’t:

  • Attempt to hack or interfere with the website.
  • Introduce malware or harmful software.
  • Overload the servers with automated requests.
  • Pretend to be someone else.
  • Use this website for unlawful purposes.

Basically, don’t be the reason someone has to restart the server.


A Few House Rules

These aren’t strictly required by law.

They’re simply good advice.

By continuing to browse, you agree to make a reasonable effort to:

  • Be kind to animals.
  • Return your shopping cart whenever practical.
  • Hold the door open for someone when your hands are free.
  • Give credit where credit is due.
  • Appreciate a good sunset every once in a while.
  • Avoid putting ketchup on excellent barbecue.
  • Remember that everyone is fighting a battle you probably know nothing about.
  • Water a plant occasionally.
  • Laugh at least once today.
  • Call your parents once in a while if they’re the calling type.

Failure to comply won’t result in legal action.

It may, however, disappoint a golden retriever somewhere.


Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise noted, all music, recordings, artwork, graphics, photographs, logos, text, and website design are the property of Universe Apart Media and are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.

Please ask before using our work.

We’re usually friendly.


Availability

We try to keep the website online.

Sometimes software breaks.

Sometimes servers need maintenance.

Sometimes the Internet simply decides today is going to be weird.

We don’t guarantee uninterrupted availability.


No Guarantees

The content on this website is provided “as is.”

While we do our best to keep everything accurate and functioning properly, we can’t promise every page, link, or audio player will work perfectly forever.

Technology has a mind of its own.


Limitation of Liability

Universe Apart Media shall not be liable for any damages arising from your use of this website, including interruptions, technical issues, or reliance upon information presented here.

If your computer suddenly develops a fascination with interpretive dance, it’s probably unrelated.


Links to Other Websites

Some pages may link to other websites.

We don’t control those websites, their content, or their privacy practices.

Visit them at your own discretion.


Changes

These Terms may change occasionally.

If they do, the updated version will appear on this page with a new effective date.

No carrier pigeons will be dispatched.


Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles.


Final Thoughts

If you’ve actually read this far, congratulations.

You’re among a surprisingly small group of people who read Terms of Use voluntarily.

As a reward, here’s one final agreement:

Please continue being curious.

Make something.

Help someone.

Pet a dog if one is nearby and appears interested.

Look up at the stars from time to time.

The universe is astonishing, and we’re all fortunate to be part of it.
