Privacy Policy

This site exists for two purposes:

  1. To rescue important audio from archives and libraries that focus on church / religion / theological presentations. This audio has been saved on reel-to-reel or cassette tape, and is likely to be saved in that form until it is too deteriorated to recover the audio.
  2. To digitize these presentations and make them available to be studied and appreciated.

The policies posted here are the rules under which we operate to make possible the purposes listed above.

Access to the Collection is provided at no cost to you and is granted for scholarship, research, and personal education. You certify that your use of the Site’s audio collection will be noncommercial and will be limited to non-infringing or fair use under copyright law.

In using the Site’s audio collection, you further agree (a) not to violate anyone’s rights of privacy, (b) not to act in any way that might give rise to civil or criminal liability, (c) not to infringe any copyright rights of any person.

We request that, according to standard academic practice, if you use the Site’s collection for any research that results in an article, a book, or other publication, you list the Site and the listed original source of the audio as resources in your bibliography.

The Site may modify this Agreement from time to time, and your continued use of the Collection and/or the Site constitutes your acceptance of any and all modifications. The Site will attempt to notify you of substantial modifications via the email address that you have registered with us, if any.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Internet site, SoundTheology.org from and against any and all liability, loss, claims, damages, costs, and/or actions (including attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Site’s services, the site, or the Collection.
