TERMS OF USE
The rules for using this website, our editorial policy, intellectual property, bookings, events and how to reach us about anything published here.
01, WHO WE ARE & ACCEPTANCE
This website, mneemo.com (the "Site"), is operated by Yaroslav Gorovoy, performing as MNEEMO and trading as HOUSE OF MNEEMO ("we", "us", "our"), London, United Kingdom. Contact: info@mneemo.com.
By accessing or using the Site you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. These terms apply to all visitors, including fans, promoters, journalists and partners.
02, CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date above shows the current version. Changes apply from the moment they are published on this page; your continued use of the Site after publication constitutes acceptance. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
03, USING THE SITE
We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive licence to access the Site and view its content for personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to:
- copy, reproduce, republish or redistribute substantial parts of the Site without our prior written permission (short quotations with credit and a link are welcome, see section 04);
- scrape, harvest or systematically extract content or data, including for training machine-learning models, without written permission;
- frame or mirror the Site, misrepresent its origin, or imply an affiliation that does not exist;
- interfere with the Site's operation, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, or place disproportionate load on the infrastructure;
- use the Site for any unlawful purpose.
04, OUR CONTENT & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Unless stated otherwise, all content on the Site, text, articles, design, layout, code, photography we own, graphics, the MNEEMO and HOUSE OF MNEEMO names and wordmarks, is owned by or licensed to us and protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws of the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions. All rights are reserved.
Quoting us
Journalists, bloggers and fans may quote short excerpts of our articles free of charge, provided the excerpt is attributed to "HOUSE OF MNEEMO" with a link to the original page, is not materially altered, and is not used to imply endorsement. For syndication or longer reproduction, ask first: info@mneemo.com.
Press kit
Materials supplied in our press kit (bio, approved photos, logos) are licensed solely for editorial coverage of MNEEMO and HOUSE OF MNEEMO with appropriate credit, and may not be used commercially, modified beyond reasonable cropping, or used in a defamatory or misleading context.
Partner & venue logos ("Partners & Rooms")
The "Partners & Rooms" section of the Site displays the names and logos of venues, clubs, brands, record labels, platforms and event series that MNEEMO and HOUSE OF MNEEMO have genuinely worked with, that is, where MNEEMO has performed, hosted or co-hosted events, released music, been officially listed or billed, or otherwise collaborated. These logos appear solely as a truthful, factual record of that work history, the same way a portfolio or CV references past engagements, and for no other purpose. Specifically:
- each logo is used nominatively, only to identify the venue, brand or organisation concerned, without alteration beyond proportional resizing and the Site's uniform monochrome presentation;
- display of a logo does not claim or imply that the brand currently endorses, sponsors, promotes or is in an ongoing partnership with MNEEMO, HOUSE OF MNEEMO or this Site, nor that any of those brands are connected with each other, it records that a collaboration, performance or engagement has taken place;
- all logos and trade marks remain the exclusive property of their respective owners; no licence over them is granted to us beyond this referential display, and none is granted by us to visitors;
- the list reflects our records of past and current work; if circumstances change, entries may be added or removed at any time without notice.
If you represent any of these venues or brands and would like your logo updated, the nature of the reference clarified, or the logo removed from the Site, email info@mneemo.com from a verifiable company address. We honour reasonable requests from verified rights holders promptly, normally within 7 days, without requiring legal correspondence.
05, EDITORIAL CONTENT, OPINIONS & FAIR DEALING
The Editorial section of the Site publishes journalism and commentary about electronic music and club culture: news reporting, reviews, criticism, interviews, guides and opinion. The following applies to all editorial content:
- Opinion, not fact. Articles reflect the personal views, assessments and creative judgments of their author at the time of writing. Statements of opinion, including rankings, comparisons (for example of clubs, festivals or releases) and cultural commentary, are exactly that: opinions, made honestly and without malice, and should not be read as statements of verified fact unless expressly presented as such with a source.
- Fair dealing. Where editorial content quotes, references or reproduces third-party material (artist names, track titles, short quotations, promotional imagery, artwork or stills), it does so for the purposes of criticism, review, quotation, news reporting and pastiche under sections 30 and 30A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and equivalent doctrines elsewhere (including fair use under US law), with attribution where practicable.
- No affiliation or endorsement. References to any artist, DJ, label, venue, club, festival, brand, ticketing platform or other third party are editorial only. They do not imply, in either direction, any affiliation, sponsorship, partnership or endorsement, unless we expressly say so. All third-party names and trade marks remain the property of their respective owners and are used nominatively, solely to identify the things being discussed.
- Accuracy and currency. We take reasonable care to check facts against sources current at the date of publication (many articles carry explicit fact-check notes distinguishing confirmed information from interpretation). Lineups, dates, venues, capacities, prices and similar details change; we do not guarantee that any article remains accurate after publication, and content is provided for general information and entertainment only, it is not professional, legal, financial or safety advice.
- Corrections and right of reply. If you believe an article contains a material inaccuracy about you, your venue, brand or event, or you wish to respond to coverage, contact info@mneemo.com with the URL and details. We review such requests promptly and in good faith, and will correct, clarify, update or annotate content where warranted.
- No intent to harm. Nothing on the Site is published with intent to defame, disparage or injure any person or business. Criticism, where it appears, is honest opinion on matters of public interest in music culture, based on facts stated or referenced in the article.
06, THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS & COPYRIGHT COMPLAINTS
Editorial articles may include promotional photographs, artwork, flyers and video stills relating to the artists and events covered. Such materials are used in good faith: at low resolution appropriate for web journalism, for identification, criticism, review and news reporting, and, where they originate from press releases, press kits, public promotional channels or platform-provided previews (such as video thumbnails), in the manner in which they were made available for editorial use.
Notice & takedown
If you own rights in any material on the Site and believe its use exceeds fair dealing or your licence, email info@mneemo.com with: (a) identification of the work; (b) the exact URL where it appears; (c) evidence of your rights or authority to act; (d) your contact details; and (e) a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorised. We will acknowledge promptly and, where the complaint appears well founded, remove or replace the material expeditiously, usually within 7 days, pending resolution. We may notify the original source and accept counter-notices. Repeat-infringement complaints are tracked. This procedure is intended to satisfy the spirit of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512) and the UK Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002.
07, MUSIC, VIDEO & THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS
Music, live sets and videos linked from the Site are hosted by third-party platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube, Deezer and others). Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their availability, content, advertising or data practices. Thumbnails and preview imagery are served by those platforms and remain subject to their licences.
08, EXTERNAL LINKS
The Site links to external websites (ticketing platforms, event listings, streaming services, press) for your convenience. We do not control them, do not endorse them, and accept no responsibility for their content, accuracy, legality or security. Visiting external links is at your own risk.
09, BOOKINGS & ENQUIRIES
Information on the Site about availability, performances and collaborations is an invitation to make contact only, it is not a contractual offer. Sending an enquiry (by email or via the enquiry interface, which composes a message in your own mail application) does not create any obligation on either party. A booking becomes binding only when its terms (date, venue, fee, rider, cancellation) are expressly agreed in writing by us or our authorised representative. Quotes, where given, are indicative and subject to availability and change until so confirmed.
10, EVENTS
Event listings on the Site are for information. Dates, venues, lineups and times may change or be cancelled without notice; the final terms of entry are set by the relevant venue, promoter or ticketing platform.
- Guest-list and RSVP requests are discretionary; submitting a request does not guarantee entry, and we owe no obligation or compensation if entry is declined or capacity is reached.
- Unless stated otherwise, events are for persons aged 18 or over with valid ID. Right of admission is reserved by the venue and promoter.
- HOUSE OF MNEEMO events may be photographed and filmed for promotional and archival purposes. By attending, you acknowledge that you may appear incidentally in such material, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you appear in published material and object, contact us and we will review removal in good faith.
- We are not liable for the acts or omissions of venues, promoters, security or ticketing platforms at events we do not control.
11, UNSOLICITED MATERIAL & SUBMISSIONS
If you send us demos, ideas, concepts, event proposals or other unsolicited material, you do so voluntarily and without any expectation of confidentiality, review, payment or credit. You confirm that anything you send is yours to send and does not infringe third-party rights. Because we work continuously on music and events, you accept that our future work may coincidentally resemble submitted material, and you waive any claim arising from such similarity. Enquiry messages may be retained and used as needed to respond to you and to manage the relationship (see the Privacy Policy).
12, DISCLAIMER
The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness or uninterrupted availability. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice.
13, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under the law of England and Wales, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Subject to that:
- we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of data, or loss of opportunity arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site or its content;
- we are not liable for decisions made in reliance on editorial content (including travel, ticket purchases or business decisions);
- our total aggregate liability to you in connection with the Site shall not exceed £100, the Site being provided free of charge.
If you are a consumer, these terms do not affect your statutory rights.
14, INDEMNITY
You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms or your unlawful use of the Site.
15, PRIVACY
Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.
16, GOVERNING LAW & JURISDICTION
These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of them or the Site (including non-contractual disputes), are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, save that if you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the UK or the EU you retain any mandatory protections and forum rights of your home country.
17, GENERAL
If any provision of these terms is found invalid, the remainder continues in force. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. These terms (with the Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement between us regarding use of the Site. We may assign our rights under these terms; you may not without our consent.
18, CONTACT
Questions about these terms, editorial complaints, licensing and rights requests: info@mneemo.com, subject line indicating the topic ("Editorial correction", "Copyright notice", "Licensing"). We aim to respond within 7 days.
