The Service is owned and operated by The Happy Place Oy, a Finnish company (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “The Happy Place”).

Please read the entirety of these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service, carefully to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions governing your use of the Service and how we collect, use, share, update, and delete any information shared with us by you through the Service.

(3.2) While The Happy Place may prepare Compilations on the Service, The Happy Place does not create or own any Videos.

(3.3) Videos can be shared by you and others outside the App and the Site via third-party social media, messaging, or other services, and The Happy Place expressly disclaims any liability resulting from your use of such services (including your access to and use of any Videos). You are solely responsible for taking any necessary precautions to protect yourself and your property.

  1. Creator Program

If you are accessing and using the Service as a Creator, you are subject to additional terms (available here: [insert hyperlink]) (the “Creator Terms”). If you have accepted, or are otherwise bound by our Creator Terms, then these Terms still apply to you, but in a slightly different way, as described in the Creator Terms. Our Creator Network is currently invitation-only. Please see our Creator Program page [insert hyperlink] for more information.

We encourage you to review the Terms periodically to stay informed about our practices.

(5.3) Whenever we make changes to these Terms, they are effective when the revised Terms are posted.

(11.5) The Platform may contain links or the ability to share information, including Compilations and your User Content, with third-party websites and services. The rights you grant under these Terms are provided on a through-to-the-audience basis, meaning the owners or operators of those third-party websites and services will not have any separate liability to you or any other third party for your User Content posted to or used on that website or service via the Service.

If you have assigned your rights to a music publisher, then you must obtain the consent of the music publisher to grant these licenses or have the music publisher enter into these Terms with us.
