Terms of Service
Welcome to the Station Scout terms of service. Below you will find information regarding our search engine's practices and services.
By using Station Scout's search engine or other Station Scout services ("Station Scout Services", or "our services"), you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Service").
Content Linked to by Station ScoutThe sites displayed as search results or linked to by Station Scout Services are developed by people over whom Station Scout exercises no control. The search results that appear from Station Scout's indices are indexed by Station Scout's automated systems and user submitted information, and Station Scout cannot and does not screen the sites before including them in the indices from which such automated search results are gathered. A search using Station Scout Services may produce search results and links to sites that some people find objectionable, inappropriate, or offensive. We cannot guarantee that a Station Scout search will not locate unintended or objectionable content and assume no responsibility for the content of any site included in any search results or otherwise linked to by the Station Scout Services.
Personal Use OnlyThe Station Scout Services are made available for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not use the Station Scout Services to directly sell a product or service. You may not take the results from a Station Scout search and reformat and display them, or mirror the Station Scout home page or results pages on your Web site. You may not "meta-search" Station Scout. If you want to make commercial use of the Station Scout Services, you must enter into an agreement with Station Scout to do so in advance. Please contact us for more information.
If you are interested in adding any Station Scout tools to your web site or your company's web site, feel free to do so.
No Automated QueryingYou may not send automated queries of any sort to Station Scout's system without express permission in advance from Station Scout. Note that "sending automated queries" includes, among other things:
- "meta-searching" Station Scout.
- performing "offline" searches on Station Scout.
Please do not contact us requesting permission to "meta-search" Station Scout for a research project, as such requests will not be granted.
Privacy PolicyWe respect the privacy of our users and will never sell or share your personal information with anyone. On some forms we may require personal information such as, but not limited to: first name, last name, address, and email, which will be stored securely in our system.
Changes In Terms and Conditions and Station Scout Search ServiceWe may modify or terminate our services from time to time, for any reason, and without notice, including the right to terminate with or without notice, without liability to you, any other user or any third party. We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service from time to time without notice. Please review these Terms of Service from time to time so that you will be apprised of any changes.
Intellectual Property PolicyIt is our policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you feel that your copyright material has been infringed upon, contact us and we will review the information and act accordingly.
LicensingWe provide a free Now Playing application that provides the current data for a station or channel and links to their station/channel page on StreamSearch.ca. The code that is provided can be modified except for the image source (if it is changed, it will not link to the proper station) and the link to that station or channels detail page on Station Scout. It is imperative that it be linked to our site, any other link means our resources are being used for the gain of the party using it and no credit towards Station Scout for providing such an application for free. If a station or channel is using the application to link to their own site, it may be grounds to block use of that station or channels Now Playing application.
FeaturesStation Scout provides paid services for users and station owners. Features that are in a "beta" state may change from time-to-time. We do not guarantee success or profitability from use of our services alone, but encourage use of them as an aid to other advertising and marketing strategies. However, we do provide tracking for our paid services which provides data on the particular service being used.

Requests for Removal of Links or Cached MaterialsStation Scout occasionally receives requests from people to remove links from its indices. Although Station Scout reserves the right to address such requests individually, the general approach that Station Scout takes reflects the following principles:
Station Scout's indices consist of information that has been identified, indexed and compiled through an automated process with no advance review by human beings. Given the enormous volume of web site information added, deleted, and changed on a frequent basis, Station Scout cannot and does not screen anything made available through its indices. For each web site reflected in Station Scout's indices, if either (i) a site owner restricts access to his or her web site or (ii) a site is taken down from the web, then, upon receipt of a request by the site owner or a third party in the second instance, Station Scout would consider on a case-by-case basis requests to remove the link to that site from its indices. However, if the operator of the site does not take steps to prevent it, the automatic facilities used to create the indices are likely to find that site and index it again in a relatively short amount of time.
Miscellaneous ProvisionsThese Terms of Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of British Columbia, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions or your actual state/province or country of residence. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision or portion of the Terms of Service to be unenforceable, the remainder of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter. Any waiver of any provision of the Terms of Service will be effective only if in writing and signed by Station Scout.
