Effective date: September 19, 2026 · Last updated: September 19, 2026
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and Cloudcast Media (“Cloudcast,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your use of cloudcastmedia.us and any page, feature or content we make available through it (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy are incorporated into these Terms by reference and form part of our agreement with you.
1. Who may use the Site
The Site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. You may use the Site only if you are 13 or older and able to form a binding contract with us, or if you are between 13 and the age of majority where you live and your parent or guardian agrees to these Terms on your behalf. By using the Site you represent that this is the case. You must also use the Site only where doing so is lawful.
2. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and post the revised Terms here. Material changes take effect no sooner than the date we post them, and your continued use of the Site afterwards means you accept them. If you do not accept a revision, stop using the Site. We may also change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time.
3. Your permission to use the Site
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and view the Site and its content for your own personal, non-commercial use. You are welcome to:
- Listen to our podcasts and follow the links we provide to the platforms that carry them.
- Share links to our pages and episodes, and post them on social media.
- Quote short excerpts of our written content with attribution to Cloudcast Media and a link to the source page, as fair use allows.
This licence does not transfer any ownership to you, and it ends automatically if you breach these Terms. All rights we do not expressly grant are reserved.
4. Things you must not do
When using the Site, you must not:
- Break any law, regulation or third party’s rights.
- Copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, licence, broadcast, perform, or create derivative works from our content beyond the permission in section 3, without our prior written consent.
- Use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access, harvest or index the Site or its content, except that well-behaved search engine crawlers may index the Site for ordinary search results.
- Use the Site or anything on it to train, fine-tune or ground a machine learning or generative artificial intelligence model, or to build any dataset for that purpose, without our prior written consent.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, our servers or any connected system; probe or scan for vulnerabilities; or defeat any security or access control.
- Interfere with or disrupt the Site, including by overloading, flooding or attacking it, or by introducing any virus, malware or harmful code.
- Impersonate any person or organization, or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone.
- Send us false, misleading or deceptive information, or use the Site’s contact features to send unsolicited commercial messages.
- Remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice.
- Frame or mirror any part of the Site, or use our trademarks in metatags, keywords or hidden text, without our prior written consent.
5. Our content and trademarks
The Site and everything on it — text, artwork, photographs, cover art, logos, icons, illustrations, maps, audio, video, design, layout, code and the selection and arrangement of all of it — is owned by Cloudcast Media, by our creators and hosts, or by our licensors, and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.
Cloudcast, Cloudcast Media, Listen Where You Live™, our logos and our show names are trademarks or service marks of Cloudcast Media. You may not use them without our prior written permission, except to refer accurately to us or our shows. Trademarks, names and logos belonging to other companies that appear on the Site are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only.
Some map and place data on the Site comes from public sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau by way of the US Atlas project and GeoNames, and remains subject to those sources’ own licences, which we credit in the footer of every page.
6. Podcasts, hosts and opinions
Our podcasts are made by local hosts, producers and creators across our network. The views, opinions and statements expressed in any episode, show description or guest contribution are those of the speaker, and are not necessarily those of Cloudcast Media, our staff, our sponsors or our partners. We do not endorse, verify or warrant the accuracy, completeness or reliability of anything said by a host or guest.
Nothing on the Site or in any episode is professional advice. It is not legal, financial, investment, tax, medical, mental-health, employment or other professional advice, no professional relationship is created by your use of the Site, and you should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of it. Consult a qualified professional about your own situation.
Show descriptions, artwork, episode counts and publication dates on the Site are drawn in part from the podcast platforms that host our shows. That information can be out of date or incomplete, and a show or episode can be changed or withdrawn by its creator or its platform at any time.
7. Ideas and other things you send us
We invite show pitches, guest recommendations, partnership proposals and general feedback, and we are glad to receive them. So that there is no misunderstanding later, the following applies to anything you send us through the Site, by email, by phone or otherwise (a “Submission”):
- Your Submission is not confidential and no confidential or fiduciary relationship arises from your sending it, unless we have signed a separate written agreement with you that says otherwise.
- You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable and transferable licence to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, distribute and display the Submission, and to incorporate it into our shows and materials, in any media.
- You confirm that the Submission is yours to send, that it does not infringe anyone’s rights or break any law, and that any personal information about another person in it was given to us lawfully.
- We receive a great many ideas, and ideas that resemble yours may already be under development, may reach us from other people independently, or may be developed by us on our own. We are not obliged to keep a Submission confidential, to use it, to respond to it, to credit you, or to pay you for it, and you are not entitled to compensation if we produce something similar.
- You waive any moral rights in the Submission to the extent the law permits.
If you want to share something on confidential terms, do not send it through the Site — contact us first and ask for a written agreement.
8. Sponsors and advertising
Some content on the Site and in our shows is sponsored, and some pages identify the businesses and organizations that support our work. Listing a sponsor or partner is not an endorsement by Cloudcast of that business’s products, services, opinions or conduct, and it is not an endorsement of Cloudcast by them. We do not investigate, monitor or guarantee any sponsor’s offerings, and any dealing you have with a sponsor is solely between you and them.
9. Third-party sites, embeds and platforms
The Site links to and embeds content from other companies, including the local news, weather, sports and podcast feeds supplied by myneighborhood.media on our city pages, and links to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Spreaker and social media platforms. Those services are operated by other companies. We do not control them, we do not endorse them, and we are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy, security, advertising, or their privacy and data practices. Your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and you should read them. Playback of our shows generally happens on those platforms, not here, and is subject to their terms.
10. Copyright complaints
We respect copyright and expect our users and contributors to do the same. If you believe material on the Site infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, to our designated agent:
Copyright Agent, Cloudcast Media
Email: hello@cloudcastmedia.us (subject line: “DMCA notice”)
Your notice must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed.
- Identification of the material you say is infringing, and enough information for us to find it — ordinarily the URL.
- Your name, address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
If we remove material in response to a notice, the person who provided it may send us a counter-notice containing the elements set out in 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). We may then restore the material as that section permits. Be aware that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) a person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. In appropriate circumstances we terminate the accounts and access of repeat infringers.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
The site and all content, feeds, podcasts, links, embeds and features on it are provided “as is” and “as available,” with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cloudcast Media disclaims all warranties, express, implied and statutory, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment and non-infringement, and any warranties arising from a course of dealing or usage of trade.
We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, that the site or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components, or that any content, city feed, show listing, episode count, publication date or other information on the site is accurate, complete, current or reliable. Any material you access or download is at your own discretion and risk, and you are responsible for any resulting damage to your device or loss of data.
Some jurisdictions, including California, do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in this section limits any warranty or remedy that cannot be excluded or limited under the law that applies to you.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cloudcast Media and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, hosts, creators, agents, licensors and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunity or anticipated savings, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the site, any content on it, any third-party site, embed or platform reached through it, or any dealing with a sponsor or partner — whether the claim is based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute or any other theory, and whether or not we were advised that such damages were possible.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of Cloudcast Media and those parties for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the site will not exceed one hundred United States dollars (US$100.00).
Important exceptions. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. In particular, and in accordance with California Civil Code § 1668, nothing in these Terms exempts Cloudcast Media from responsibility for our own fraud, willful injury to the person or property of another, or violation of law, whether willful or negligent. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for gross negligence, where the law does not permit that limitation.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you in full. In that case our liability is limited to the greatest extent the law permits.
The exclusions and limitations in sections 11 and 12 apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose, and they reflect a reasonable allocation of risk for a website provided to you free of charge.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cloudcast Media and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, hosts, creators and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, your violation of any law or of any third party’s rights, or any Submission you send us. We will notify you of any such claim and may, at our own expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of it, in which case you agree to cooperate with us. This section does not apply to the extent the claim arises from our own fraud, willful injury or violation of law.
14. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or that your use harms the Site, us or anyone else. You may stop using the Site at any time. Sections 5, 7, and 11 to 18 survive any termination.
15. Governing law and where disputes are heard
These Terms and any dispute arising out of them or your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
You and Cloudcast agree that any lawsuit will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. If you are a consumer resident in another U.S. state or in another country, this clause does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer protection laws of the place where you live, or of your right to bring proceedings there where the law gives you that right.
These Terms do not require you to give up your right to seek public injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, and nothing here waives any right that cannot lawfully be waived.
16. Notice to California consumers
Under California Civil Code § 1789.3, California residents are entitled to the following consumer rights notice:
The Site is provided by Cloudcast Media, hello@cloudcastmedia.us. The Site is provided at no charge to visitors; we do not charge a fee for access to it.
If you have a complaint about the Site, or wish to receive further information about its use, please contact us using the details above. You may also contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 or (916) 445-1254.
California residents also have the privacy rights described in our Privacy Policy, including under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Civil Code § 1798.83.
17. Accessibility
We want this Site to be usable by everyone, and we work towards conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. If you encounter a barrier to using any part of the Site, or need information from it in an alternative format, please email hello@cloudcastmedia.us. Tell us the page and what got in your way, and we will work with you to provide the information or function you need.
18. General terms
- Entire agreement. These Terms, with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Cloudcast about the Site, and replace any earlier understanding about it. They do not replace a separate written agreement you have signed with us, which controls to the extent it conflicts with these Terms.
- Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if it cannot be, and the rest of these Terms remain in force.
- No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
- Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
- No third-party beneficiaries. Except for the parties named in sections 12 and 13, these Terms create no rights for anyone other than you and Cloudcast.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- Relationship. These Terms create no partnership, joint venture, employment or agency relationship between you and Cloudcast.
- Notices. We may give you notice by posting on this page. You may give us notice at hello@cloudcastmedia.us.
- Headings. Section headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.
