About these terms
These terms apply to Earvolt (www.earvolt.com). In these terms, “Earvolt”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean the team behind Earvolt, and “you” means anyone using the website.
By using Earvolt, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
Using the website
You’re welcome to read, browse and share Earvolt for your own personal use. Please don’t use the site in any way that breaks the law, harms the site or its visitors, or tries to access parts of the site you’re not meant to.
Our content
Everything we publish, including reviews, articles, guides, photos we’ve taken and the Earvolt name and logo, belongs to us or is used with permission.
You’re welcome to share links to our content and quote short extracts, as long as you credit Earvolt and link back to the original article. Please don’t copy whole articles, republish our content elsewhere, or use it for commercial purposes without our written permission.
Reviews and opinions
Our reviews and verdicts are the honest opinions of our writers at the time of writing. Music is personal, and you may disagree with us, which is part of the fun. You can read more about how we review in our Editorial Policy.
Gear information and prices
Our gear guides are for general information to help you decide what to buy. We work hard to keep details accurate, but specifications, prices and availability change often, especially around sales events. Always check the latest details with the retailer before you buy.
When you buy from a retailer through a link on our site, you’re buying from that retailer, not from Earvolt. Their own terms apply to your purchase, including delivery, returns and warranties.
Affiliate links
Some links on Earvolt are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you buy something through them, at no extra cost to you. You can read more in our Affiliate Disclosure.
Music submissions
When you send us music, artwork, photos or press material, you confirm that you own it or have permission to share it with us.
By submitting, you give us permission to use that material, free of charge and anywhere in the world, to review and promote your release on Earvolt, our newsletter and our social media channels. This includes embedding your music, showing your artwork and press photos, and quoting from your press material. You keep full ownership of your work, and you can ask us to remove it at any time by contacting us.
Submitting music doesn’t guarantee a review or any other coverage.
Links to other websites
Our site links to other websites, including retailers, streaming services and artists’ pages. We’re not responsible for the content, availability or practices of those websites.
Linking to Earvolt
You’re welcome to link to any page on Earvolt, as long as you do it fairly and legally, and don’t suggest we endorse you or your website when we don’t.
Availability and accuracy
We aim to keep Earvolt running smoothly and accurately, but we can’t promise the site will always be available, free from errors or completely up to date. If you spot a mistake, please let us know and we’ll correct it.
Our responsibility to you
Earvolt is free to use, and we’re not responsible for any loss or damage that results from using the site or relying on its content, except where the law says we can’t exclude that responsibility.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that can’t be limited or excluded by law.
Cookies and privacy
We use cookies to run the site, understand how it’s used, and support our advertising and affiliate partners. You can choose which non essential cookies to accept through the cookie banner on our site. Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last changed. By continuing to use the site after an update, you agree to the new terms.
