The DL Music service ("DLM" or "the Service") is owned and operated by Derek Luff Music, Inc. ("DL Music" or "we" or "us"). By accessing or using our web site at www.dl-music.com (the "Site"), you (the "User") signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms of Use" or "Agreement"), whether or not you are a registered user of DLM. Your use of the Site and agreement to these Terms of Use do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with DLM, DL Music, or its subsidiaries or affiliates.

If we do this, we will post the changes to these Terms of Use on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised. Your continued use of the Service or the Site after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. If you do not agree to abide by these or any future Terms of Use, do not use or access (or continue to use or access) the Service or the Site. It is your responsibility to regularly check the Site to determine if there have been changes to these Terms of Use and to review such changes.
