Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to AFTERGLO, a residential LED light show platform operated by Ward Legacy Group LLC ("AFTERGLO," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the AFTERGLO website located at afterglolighting.org (the "Site"), creating an account, purchasing or downloading content, or uploading sequences to our marketplace, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms").

If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must not use the Site or any services we provide. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Site after any modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page whenever changes are made.

These Terms apply to all users of the Site, including visitors, registered account holders, purchasers, and content creators ("Creators") who upload or sell sequences on the marketplace.

2. Account Registration and Responsibilities

To access certain features of the Site (including downloading sequences, making purchases, and uploading content) you must create an account. Account creation is handled through Google Firebase Authentication.

When registering, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete registration information (name and email address).
• Keep your account credentials confidential and not share them with any third party.
• Promptly notify us at afterglolights@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
• Take full responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must be at least 13 years of age to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent's or legal guardian's permission to use the Site.

AFTERGLO reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, provide false information, or engage in activity that we reasonably determine is harmful to other users or the platform.

3. Marketplace: Buying and Selling Sequences

AFTERGLO operates a digital marketplace where registered users may browse, download free sequences, purchase premium sequences, and (if approved as Creators) sell their own original light show sequences ("Sequences") to other users.

As a buyer, you understand that:

• All Sequences purchased or downloaded are licensed for personal, non-commercial use on your own AFTERGLO-compatible hardware only.
• You may not redistribute, resell, sublicense, or publicly display Sequences obtained through the marketplace without written permission from the Creator and AFTERGLO.
• Sequences are digital goods delivered electronically. Ownership of the underlying intellectual property remains with the original Creator.

As a Creator listing Sequences on the marketplace, you further agree to the terms set forth in our Creator Agreement, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

AFTERGLO acts as a marketplace facilitator. We do not produce, verify, or guarantee the quality or accuracy of Creator-submitted Sequences except where expressly indicated.

4. Payment Terms

All transactions on the AFTERGLO marketplace are processed through Stripe, Inc., a third-party payment processor. By making a purchase, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. AFTERGLO does not store, process, or have access to your credit card or bank account information. All payment data is handled exclusively by Stripe.

Prices for premium Sequences and packs are listed in US dollars (USD). AFTERGLO reserves the right to adjust pricing at any time without prior notice, but existing purchases will not be affected.

Free Sequences may require account creation and email capture but are not subject to any purchase requirement. AFTERGLO reserves the right to convert free Sequences to paid listings with reasonable advance notice.

5. Refund Policy

Beyond the 7-day window, if a purchased file is corrupt, unreadable, or otherwise unusable, notify us within 14 days of discovery and we will either provide a corrected file or issue a full refund at our discretion.

AFTERGLO reserves the right to deny refund requests that we reasonably determine are fraudulent or abusive (e.g., systematic refund-after-download patterns).

6. Intellectual Property

All original content you upload to the AFTERGLO marketplace, including FSEQ sequence files, audio files, and any associated metadata ("User Content"), remains your intellectual property. You retain full ownership of your uploads.

By uploading User Content to AFTERGLO, you grant AFTERGLO a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, and promote your User Content in connection with operating and improving the platform. This license persists for as long as your content is listed on the marketplace, and terminates when you remove your content, subject to reasonable wind-down periods for cached or archived copies.

AFTERGLO's own content, including the website design, platform code, marketing materials, the AFTERGLO name, and logo, is owned exclusively by Ward Legacy Group LLC. You may not copy, modify, or distribute AFTERGLO's proprietary content without our express written consent.

If you believe that content on our platform infringes your copyright, please submit a DMCA notice through our DMCA page, or contact our registered agent Ward Legacy Group LLC, Attn: DMCA Agent (email: afterglolights@gmail.com). AFTERGLO has a repeat infringer policy consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i).

7. Prohibited Content

You may not upload, post, distribute, or otherwise make available content that:

• Infringes any third party's copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights, including syncing FSEQ files to commercially released music without a valid license.
• Contains malware, viruses, trojan horses, corrupted data, or any code designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to any device or system.
• Is deceptive, misleading, or misrepresented (e.g., claiming a sequence is original when it is not).
• Contains obscene, hateful, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable material.
• Promotes illegal activity or violates applicable laws or regulations.
• Impersonates AFTERGLO, its employees, or another user.
• Violates the privacy of any individual, including uploading personal data of third parties without their consent.

AFTERGLO reserves the right, but assumes no obligation, to review, screen, edit, or remove any User Content at any time and for any reason, with or without notice.

8. Content Removal and Account Termination

AFTERGLO reserves the right to remove any User Content and to suspend or permanently terminate any account that:

• Violates these Terms or our Creator Agreement.
• Has received a valid DMCA takedown notice that we have verified.
• Engages in fraud, abuse, or activity that harms other users or the platform.
• Remains inactive for an extended period (we will make reasonable efforts to notify you before removing inactive content).

In cases of repeated or egregious violations, AFTERGLO may pursue legal remedies available under applicable law, including seeking damages and injunctive relief.

If your account is terminated for a violation of these Terms, any pending Creator earnings that have not yet met the $10.00 payout threshold may be forfeited. Earned amounts already queued for payout will be remitted at our discretion after deducting any applicable fees or damages.

You may also voluntarily close your account at any time by contacting us at afterglolights@gmail.com. Upon closure, your public listings will be removed from the marketplace, though copies already downloaded by purchasers remain valid under their existing licenses.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, AFTERGLO and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors ("AFTERGLO Parties") shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site or any Sequence purchased or downloaded through it.

The AFTERGLO Parties' total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the Site shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you paid to AFTERGLO in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred dollars ($100.00 USD).

AFTERGLO provides the platform and all content "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding arising from or relating to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Salt Lake County, Utah, and you hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and AFTERGLO with respect to your use of the Site and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
