(If your billing address is not in the US, the following Podbean Terms and Policies apply to you. Otherwise, please check the Podbean Terms and Policies here.)

Last Updated: May 30, 2024

These Podbean General Terms of Use (“General Terms”) are between Podbean Limited. (“Podbean”) and end users who use our website, apps and other services (“Services”) to interact with podcasts (e.g., to listen, view, share, rate, comment, etc.) and/or any end users who visit our website without opening a podcaster or advertiser account.

If you are using our Services as a podcaster, the Podbean Podcaster Master Terms apply rather than these General Terms.

If you are using our Services as an advertiser, the Podbean Advertiser Terms apply rather than these General Terms.

THESE TERMS REQUIRE USE OF BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS. You may opt out of the arbitration requirement by following the instructions in Section 13(F) below within 30 days of first accepting these General Terms.

Once the one month free trial ends and they start paying, you will be credited with the referral fee. You’ll see an updated message that the person paid for their Podbean hosting plan.

Commissions will be paid 2 months after the transaction date. Payouts are made on the 21st of the month or the following business day. Minimum balance to receive a payout is $10.

13. Dispute Resolution Agreement

  • Arbitration of disputes. Podbean and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims that arise out of or relate in any way to the Services or these General Terms. This agreement to arbitrate (“Dispute Resolution Agreement” or “Section 13”) is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes, for example:
    1. claims brought under any legal theory;
    2. claims that arose before you first accepted any version of these General Terms containing an arbitration provision;
    3. claims that may arise after the termination of your use of the Services;
    4. claims brought by or against Podbean, Podbean affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, and assigns of these entities; and
    5. claims brought by or against you, the respective affiliates and parent companies of you, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, and assigns of these entities.

    This Dispute Resolution Agreement does not preclude any party from seeking an individualized preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order until a claim is arbitrated, or from bringing an individualized action in small claims court, in any court that has jurisdiction; provided that, as limited by Section 13(C) below, the arbitrator will have exclusive jurisdiction to finally resolve claims not within the jurisdiction of a small claims court. Nor does this Dispute Resolution Agreement bar any party from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies.

    Podbean and you agree that, by entering into this arbitration agreement, all parties are waiving their respective rights to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Dispute Resolution Agreement. With respect to all disputes or claims that arise out of or relate in any way to the Services or these General Terms, this Dispute Resolution Agreement supersedes any contrary terms regarding dispute resolution in any other agreement between the parties.

  • Notice of disputes.If any party intends to seek arbitration of a dispute, that party must provide the other party with notice in writing (“Notice of Dispute”). This Notice of Dispute to Podbean must be sent to the following address (“Podbean’s Notice Address”): contact@podbean.com.

    5940 S Rainbow Blvd

    Ste 400 #56077

    Las Vegas, NV 89118-2507

    Podbean may send notice to you at the e-mail and mailing addresses associated with your account. Your Notice of Dispute to Podbean must provide, as applicable, (a) your name and mailing address, (b) the email address you uses to log into your account, (c) a description of the dispute, and (d) a statement of the relief requested. If the parties are unable or unwilling to resolve the dispute within 60 days after the Notice of Dispute is submitted, the dispute will be resolved by arbitration upon one party sending the other party or parties and the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) a demand for arbitration. No arbitration demand may be submitted until at least 60 days after submission of the Notice of Dispute. Unless the parties agree otherwise, your demand for arbitration must be sent to Podbean’s Notice Address and entitled “Demand for Arbitration.” Podbean will send demands for arbitration to you at the e-mail and mailing addresses associated with your account.

  • Arbitration procedures. The arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules"), as modified by these General Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the Expedited Procedures of the AAA Rules will apply to any claim of $75,000 or less. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org. If the AAA is unavailable, the parties will agree to another arbitration provider or the court will appoint a substitute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any evidentiary submissions made in arbitration will be maintained as confidential in the absence of good cause for its disclosure. The arbitrator’s award will be maintained as confidential only to the extent necessary to protect either party’s trade secrets or proprietary business information or to comply with a legal requirement mandating confidentiality.

    Unless the parties agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your principal place of business. If the value of your claim is $25,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephone, or by an in-person hearing. If the value of your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that only a court of competent jurisdiction may decide issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision, the arbitrability of disputes, or the interpretation of Section 13(E). Arbitration rulings will not have preclusive effect in any proceedings involving different yous in any forum. The arbitrator can award the same individualized damages and relief that a court can award. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.

  • Costs of arbitration. The AAA’s fee schedule is subject to change and may be found in the AAA Rules (available online at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). Podbean will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration that Podbean commences. If you commenced arbitration at least 60 days after submitting the Notice of Dispute to Podbean, and the value of your claim is $75,000 or less, Podbean will pay your share of any such AAA fees. If the value of your claim is between $75,000 and $300,000, your share of any such fees will be capped at $200. If the value of your claim exceeds $300,000, the allocation of AAA fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. But the arbitrator may reallocate the fees to require Podbean to pay all fees if you cannot afford to pay them. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all AAA fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such cases, the arbitrator may direct you to reimburse Podbean for amounts that Podbean paid on your behalf.
  • No class or representative arbitration. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim without affecting other Podbean users or other customers or advertisers. YOU AND PODBEAN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. Upon motion of one or more affected parties, and after providing all other affected parties an opportunity to be heard, the arbitrator may, in its discretion, consolidate more than one of your claims to promote efficiency in discovery and to avoid inconsistent legal rulings. For the avoidance of doubt, any consolidation under the preceding sentence will be limited only to currently-pending arbitrations initiated under this agreement, and the arbitrator may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. All parties will retain the right to request an individualized hearing. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of these prohibitions or limitations on (a) non-individualized relief, (b) class, representative, and private attorney general claims, or (c) consolidation with respect to a particular claim or a particular request for relief (such as injunctive relief), and if all appeals challenging the court's decision are denied, then the parties agree that such a claim or request for relief will be decided by a court after all other claims and requests for relief are arbitrated.
  • 30-day opt out period. You have the right to opt out of this Dispute Resolution Agreement. An you who does not wish to be bound by this Dispute Resolution Agreement (including your waiver of class and representative claims) must notify Podbean as set forth below within 30 days of the first acceptance date of any version of these General Terms containing an arbitration provision (unless a longer period is required by applicable law). Your notice to Podbean under this subsection must be submitted via email to contact@podbean.com. An opt-out notice does not revoke or otherwise affect any previous arbitration agreement between you and Podbean.
  • Future changes to Dispute Resolution Agreement. If Podbean makes any changes to this Dispute Resolution Agreement (other than a change to Podbean’s Notice Address), you may reject any such change by notifying Podbean via the process set forth in Section 13(B) within 30 days of the change. It is not necessary to submit a rejection of the future change to this Dispute Resolution Agreement if you had properly opted out of arbitration in compliance with the requirements of Section 13(F). By rejecting a future change, you are agreeing that it will arbitrate any dispute in accordance with the language of this Dispute Resolution Agreement, as modified by any changes that you did not reject.

14. Consent to Receive Electronic Communications

  • For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive emails via the email address you have submitted when you sign up on the Services; and (b) agree that all General Terms, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Podbean provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were in writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.
  • Podbean may also use your email address to send you other messages, including information about Podbean and Services and special offers. You may opt out of such email by changing your account settings or sending an email to contact@podbean.com.
