Terms of Use

By starting, hosting, joining, or presenting a party, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. The Host controls the party

The Host creates and controls the party, chooses which experiences are shown, connects any third-party account, and decides whether to act on attendee suggestions. Attendee music and mix submissions are recommendations only: they do not connect to Spotify, control the Host's account, or guarantee that a track will be played.

2. Music and third-party services

A Host who connects Spotify authorizes playback through their own Spotify account and available device. The Host is responsible for ensuring that their account, venue, audience, playback, and use of music comply with applicable law, licences, and Spotify's terms and policies. Spotify features may require Premium and may be limited or withdrawn by Spotify.

Who's Next? is not sponsored, endorsed, or operated by Spotify. Spotify remains responsible for its service and content. Review the Spotify Terms of Use and the Spotify Developer Policy before enabling Spotify playback.

3. Personal and lawful use

Use the service only for lawful, appropriately licensed purposes. Do not use it to infringe copyright, harass or endanger anyone, bypass access controls, collect data without permission, or operate Spotify playback in a public, business, commercial, broadcast, or synchronized-audiovisual context where Spotify or applicable law does not permit that use.

4. Party content and participants

Hosts are responsible for their party's participants, prompts, uploaded photos, links, messages, recommendations, age suitability, and moderation. Only submit content you have permission to use. Do not submit illegal, abusive, discriminatory, sexually exploitative, privacy-invasive, or malicious content.

5. Party data

The service processes the information needed to run a party, such as names, answers, preferences, messages, optional photos, game activity, and report data. A Host may download a Party Report. Participants should therefore treat party contributions as visible to the Host and other participants where the experience indicates.

Spotify authorization credentials are used to operate the connected Host account and must not be shared with attendees. Hosts should end parties and disconnect third-party services when they are finished.

6. Availability and responsibility

The service is provided on an “as available” basis. Features can fail because of network, browser, device, or third-party-service issues. To the extent permitted by law, the service operator is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from party content, third-party services, or unlawful use by a Host or participant. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

7. Changes

These terms may be updated as the service changes. The effective date above identifies the version presented when a party is started.
