Wowzaradio
Membership agreement

Terms & Conditions

Last updated July 28, 2026. By creating an account you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the service.

1. The service

Wowzaradio is a cloud broadcasting platform. Depending on your plan, membership may include station hosting and streaming, automated 24/7 programming (Auto Station and AutoDJ), AI voice and DJ tools, scheduling and clock management, a media library and uploader, a public station directory, listener analytics, embeddable players, community and fan club spaces, a digital store, advertising and sponsorship tools, licensing submissions, wallets, loyalty rewards, and payouts.

Features, quotas and limits vary by plan (Hobbyist, Creator, Pro, Network). We may add, change or retire features, and we will make reasonable efforts to notify members of material changes.

2. Accounts and eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent where you live) to create an account. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account details, for keeping your credentials and stream keys secure, and for all activity that happens under your account.

Accounts that remain inactive for 90 consecutive days may be treated as dormant and their stations may be taken off air until you sign back in.

3. Your content

"Your Content" means anything you upload, generate, schedule, stream or otherwise submit: audio, music, podcasts, voice tracks, jingles, station IDs, artwork, metadata, written posts and advertising material.

You keep ownership of Your Content. You are solely responsible for holding all rights, licences and clearances required to broadcast it — including master, publishing, performance, mechanical and any neighbouring rights applicable in your territory.

4. Network streaming licence (please read)

By creating an account and publishing content, you grant Wowzaradio a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, encode, transcode, reproduce, publicly perform, stream, syndicate, excerpt and otherwise distribute Your Content across the Wowzaradio network — including other member stations, network channels, automated rotations, embedded players, the public station directory, third-party aggregators and promotional clips — without any additional or separate compensation beyond the revenue share, licensing and payout programmes described in section 5.

In plain English: your station and its content can be played to listeners across the network so that other stations, listeners and partners can discover you. You are not owed a separate fee each time that happens. What you earn from the network is what the revenue share, licensing marketplace, tipping, store and advertising programmes pay out.

This licence also covers short promotional use — clips, previews, artwork, station name and logo — for marketing the network and your station within it.

The licence lasts for as long as Your Content is on the platform, plus a reasonable period for backups, caches, play logs and archives. You can withdraw content at any time by deleting it or your station (see section 10); we will stop new distribution, though copies already delivered to listeners, cached by third parties, or embedded in historical logs, cue sheets and archived episodes may persist.

If you hold content under an exclusive agreement that prevents this network licence, do not upload it.

5. Revenue, licensing and payouts

Compensation for network distribution is delivered exclusively through the programmes we operate: ad revenue share, the sync/licensing marketplace, listener tips and Super Chat, the digital store, fan club subscriptions, and loyalty rewards. Applicable rates, splits and thresholds are shown in your plan and in the relevant dashboards, and may be updated with notice.

Payouts are made to the payout method on file once the minimum threshold is met. You are responsible for your own taxes, and for accurate payout and royalty-split information. We may withhold payouts pending verification, chargebacks, disputes or suspected fraud.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Wowzaradio to:

  • broadcast content you do not have the rights to, or that infringes anyone's rights;
  • publish unlawful, hateful, harassing, deceptive or sexually exploitative material;
  • circumvent plan limits, quotas, licence checks, paywalls or access controls;
  • inflate listener counts, ad impressions, rewards or store activity by artificial means;
  • abuse AI tooling, third-party API keys, storage or bandwidth, or resell them; or
  • interfere with the platform's security, availability or other members' stations.

We may moderate, mute, remove content, take a station off air, or suspend an account that breaches these rules.

7. AI features

AI DJs, voice synthesis, music generation, news and weather breaks, copilots and assistants produce output automatically and may be inaccurate. You are responsible for reviewing AI output before it goes to air, and for complying with the terms of any third-party AI provider or key you connect. Voice cloning requires the documented consent of the person whose voice is used.

8. Third-party services

The platform integrates services such as payment processors, AI providers, storage and CDN vendors, ingest servers and music sources. Your use of those services is also governed by their terms. Content sourced from public-domain or Creative Commons catalogues must keep its required attribution — the acknowledgements export exists for that purpose.

9. Fees, billing and refunds

Paid plans bill in advance on a recurring basis until cancelled. Cancelling stops future renewals; access continues until the end of the paid period. Except where required by law, fees already paid are non-refundable. Failed payments may result in downgrade or suspension.

10. Termination and deletion

You may delete a station or close your account at any time from your dashboard. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms, create legal risk, or remain dormant. On termination, your stations stop broadcasting and your content is scheduled for deletion, subject to the retention noted in section 4.

11. Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided "as is". We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free broadcasting, specific listener numbers, earnings, or the accuracy of automated content. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost revenue or goodwill.

You agree to indemnify Wowzaradio against claims arising from Your Content or your breach of these terms — including rights-holder claims about material you broadcast.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced in the What's New panel or by email. Continuing to use the service after an update means you accept the revised terms.

13. Contact

Questions about these terms, rights claims or takedown requests can be raised through the support panel in your dashboard.
