1. About whatsdhype
whatsdhype ("whatsdhype", "we", "us") is a music discovery and discussion platform. Listeners discover new tracks tuned to their taste, rate and review them, make picks, and save what they love; artists share music into discovery for free and may use credits to boost its reach. These Terms form a binding agreement between you and whatsdhype.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use whatsdhype, and old enough to form a binding contract in your country. If you use whatsdhype on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
3. Your account
You sign in with your email using a one-time code, and may optionally set a password. You are responsible for keeping access to your email and account secure, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at info@whatsdhype.com if you suspect unauthorized use.
4. How the service works
Discovery presents tracks for you to preview, save, rate, review, or pass, and to build into shareable pick posts. Picks are curated sets with short inline samples; full tracks open on third-party services such as Apple Music. As an artist, you can submit a track into discovery for free and may allocate credits to a campaign that places it into other listeners' discovery feeds. Previews are short clips provided by Apple Music. whatsdhype does not host, sell, or stream the underlying recordings.
5. Credits
Credits (◆) are a prepaid promotion credit used only inside whatsdhype. They are not money, not a stored-value instrument, and have no cash value. Credits are not redeemable, cashable, or transferable, and cannot be exchanged for currency.
- Discovering, rating, reviewing, and creating cards and picks are free. You acquire credits by purchasing top-ups; your first purchase includes a one-time bonus.
- Credits spent on a campaign are consumed as your track is delivered to listeners. Unspent credits from a stopped or expired campaign return to your balance.
- We may adjust bonus amounts, caps, and pricing over time, and may reverse or withhold credits obtained through fraud, automation, or abuse.
- Purchases are generally final. Except where required by law, credit purchases are non-refundable.
