Copyright Policy

1. Respect for Intellectual Property

OndaCast respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all users of the OndaCast Service to do the same. It is our policy to respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below, in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA").

OndaCast reserves the right to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of the copyrights of others.

2. Copyright Ownership

The OndaCast Service, including its user interface, visual design, source code, logos, graphics, icons, and branding, is the property of OndaCast and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws of the United States and other countries. All rights not expressly granted in these terms are reserved.

The OndaCast name, logo, and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of OndaCast. You may not use these marks without our prior written permission.

3. Third-Party Content

OndaCast is a media aggregator that indexes and provides access to third-party content. The following types of content are owned exclusively by their respective creators, broadcasters, and rights holders:

• Radio Streams: Live radio broadcasts are produced and owned by the respective radio stations and broadcasting organizations. OndaCast links to publicly available streams but does not host, store, or redistribute the audio content.
• Podcast Episodes: Podcast content is created and owned by the respective podcast producers, hosts, and networks. OndaCast indexes publicly available podcast RSS feeds and links to episodes hosted on their original platforms.
• Audiobook Content: The audiobooks available through OndaCast are public domain works sourced from the Internet Archive (archive.org). Most audiobooks are narrated by volunteers through the LibriVox project. OndaCast is not the creator, narrator, producer, or host of any audiobook content — we function solely as a directory that facilitates access to these freely available public domain recordings streamed directly from the Internet Archive's servers. OndaCast assumes no responsibility or liability for errors, omissions, inaccuracies, or quality issues in the narration or audio production. The Internet Archive's and LibriVox's own terms of use apply to all audiobook content.
• TV Streams: Live TV broadcasts are produced and owned by their respective networks and broadcasters.

OndaCast does not claim any ownership over third-party content. OndaCast does not host, store, copy, or redistribute any audio or video files. Our service functions exclusively as a directory and discovery tool that links users to content published and hosted by third parties on their own servers and platforms.

4. Station Logos & Metadata

OndaCast displays station logos, names, descriptions, and other metadata to help users identify and discover radio stations, podcasts, and other content. This information is sourced from publicly available APIs, station websites, and public directories.

Station logos and metadata are used under fair use principles for the purpose of identification, commentary, and facilitating access to the stations' publicly available streams. OndaCast does not claim ownership of any station logos or branding.

If you are a station owner or rights holder and wish to have your logo or metadata updated, corrected, or removed, please contact us at [email protected].

If you believe that content you posted on OndaCast was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information:

• Identification of the content that was removed and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled

• Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located in Lake County, Ohio (or, if you are located outside the United States, any judicial district in which OndaCast may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA Notice or an agent of such person
• Your physical or electronic signature

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who filed the original DMCA Notice.
