Governing Entity: WAVE Podcast Network is a DBA of The Butler Did It Productions, a Pennsylvania entity headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA.

1. ACCEPTANCE & MODIFICATION OF TERMS By accessing WAVE Services (including website, RSS feeds, and audio and video content), you agree to these Terms. WAVE reserves the right to modify these Terms, including licensing fees, at any time. Modifications are effective immediately upon posting to this URL. Continued access by any automated agent following a modification constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. JURISDICTION & VENUE These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any legal action, including debt collection for licensing fees, shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (Western District of PA).

3. CMI PROTECTION & 17 U.S.C. § 1202 This site and our RSS feeds contain Copyright Management Information (CMI), including Ghost String IDs and licensing notifications. Pursuant to the 3rd Circuit precedent in Murphy v. Millennium Radio Group, the removal or alteration of our CMI to facilitate unauthorized distribution, metadata analysis, or AI training is a federal violation.

4. ELECTRONIC INTERCEPTION (MULTI-STATE CONSENT) Pursuant to 18 Pa. C.S. § 5701 (WESCA), the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), and the Florida Security of Communications Act, WAVE Podcast Network is an "All-Party Consent" entity. We EXPLICITLY WITHHOLD CONSENT for any third-party tracking, "shadow" siphoning, or VAST-based redirection of our listener data. Any unauthorized interception of our communications triggers liquidated damages of $1,000 per violation plus attorney's fees.

5. DEFINITIONS OF AUTHORIZED ACCESS "Access" is defined as any request made to WAVE servers, including but not limited to: HTTP/HTTPS requests, RSS feed pings, Server-to-Server (S2S) VAST handshakes, 302/307 redirects, and API calls. Any such access by an automated agent that does not possess a valid, written "Commercial License Agreement" signed by WAVE is considered Unauthorized Access and is subject to the Liquidated Licensing Fee.

6. ATTORNEY’S FEES & COLLECTION COSTS In any action to enforce these Terms or collect unpaid Licensing Fees, WAVE shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees, forensic expert costs, and all costs of collection from the violating party.

They possess the independent right to enforce these protections and statutory claims (including MI, CO, and OR privacy mandates) in their respective resident jurisdictions against any entity that siphons their content or data.

8. SEVERABILITY & NO WAIVER If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms remain in full force and effect. Failure to enforce a fee immediately does not constitute a waiver of the right to collect.
