Submission terms

Effective from 16 September 2026

Sound Engineer Africa (“the Platform”, “we”, “us”) is operated by Remember Live Trading and Projects (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2024/261994/07, Johannesburg, South Africa.

These Submission Terms apply whenever you upload, submit, or otherwise contribute video content (“your Content”) to soundengineer.africa. They are separate from, and in addition to, our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. By submitting Content, you agree to these terms.

1. Who can submit

• You must be 18 or older.
• You must own your Content, or have all the rights and permissions needed to submit it — including the rights of anyone appearing or performing in it, and rights to any music, footage, or other material it contains that isn’t entirely your own work.
• You are responsible for making sure your Content doesn’t infringe anyone else’s copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights.

2. What you’re granting us

You keep ownership and copyright of your Content. By submitting it, you grant Sound Engineer Africa a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, stream, publicly display, and promote your Content on the Platform, and to use reasonable excerpts or thumbnails of it to promote the Platform itself (for example, on our own social media). This licence lasts for as long as your Content remains published on the Platform, and ends when it’s removed, subject to section 6.

You are not paid for submitting Content, unless we separately agree otherwise with you in writing.

3. Content standards

Your Content should be sound-engineering related — live, studio, broadcast, gear, or career content aimed at sound engineers. We may reject or remove Content that:

• infringes someone else’s rights (copyright, trademark, privacy, or otherwise)
• is unlawful, defamatory, hateful, sexually explicit, or promotes violence
• misrepresents who made it or what it shows
• isn’t genuinely relevant to sound engineering

4. Review and moderation

All submissions are reviewed before publishing. We may:

• approve, reject, or request changes to any submission, at our sole discretion
• edit non-creative metadata (title, category) for clarity or consistency before publishing
• remove previously published Content at any time, including after publication, if it’s later found to breach these terms or the law

If we reject your submission, we’ll tell you why. A rejected submission’s video file is kept for 30 days so you can revise and resubmit, after which it’s deleted from our systems. There is no guarantee a resubmission will be accepted.

5. Takedown requests

If you believe Content on the Platform infringes your rights, contact us at hello@soundengineer.africa with a description of the Content, the right you hold, and where it appears. We will review and, where warranted, remove or disable access to the Content.

6. Removing your own Content

You can ask us to remove your published Content at any time by contacting us or, once available, through your account. We’ll act on this promptly, but copies already cached or shared by others before removal may persist outside our control.

7. No warranty, limited liability

The Platform and the ability to submit Content are provided “as is”. We don’t guarantee that submitted Content will be reviewed within any particular time, or accepted. To the extent permitted by law, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the submission feature.

8. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Sound Engineer Africa against claims, losses, or costs arising from your Content, or from your breach of these terms.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these Submission Terms from time to time. The version in effect at the time you submit Content is the one that applies to that submission. Material changes will be dated on this page.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, given that Sound Engineer Africa is operated by a company registered there.
