We have updated the language in our terms to make it clear that users who purchase Spotify through third parties are also subject to the terms of those companies. For example, if you bought your Spotify subscription through Telia in Sweden, you are subject to Telia&#8217;s terms and conditions as well as Spotify&#8217;s<\/li>\n<li><strong>Arbitration rules for non-US users\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; We have clarified that, if you don&#8217;t live in the US, any arbitration between and Spotify will be guided by the Rules of Arbitration of the international Chamber of Commerce. These are standard rules widely used around the world.<\/li>\n<li><b>Company that provides your service <\/b><b><i>outside<\/i><\/b><b> the US\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 At the end of the terms and conditions and privacy policy, the name and address of the Spotify company that provides your service (and which is the legal entity responsible for your data) is listed. In the past, this was often a local Spotify company; in Belgium, for example, it was Spotify Belgium. This company will now be Spotify AB everywhere but the US, in order to better reflect the reality of our business operations. Keep in mind, that as a practical matter, it\u2019s still the same \u201cSpotify\u201d \u2013 we just have had multiple operating entities and we\u2019re now bringing our operations under one organizational structure. (And if you were wondering, this is all about internal operational efficiencies and is not motivated by tax considerations; this will not have any impact on our obligation to pay taxes in local markets as required under local tax rules.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have any questions about Spotify&#8217;s new terms you can get in contact with them at privacy@spotify.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday Spotify updated their terms and conditions to clarify a number of things, particularly regarding users relationships with Spotify.
