The License You Grant to Audio Imperial

Your Content, Our Platform

What Rights Are You Granting Us?

When you submit any User-Generated Content to Audio Imperial through any channel — including product review forms, Q&A submissions, email, social media tags, or direct uploads — you grant NMG Express LLC (Audio Imperial) a license to use that content. Below is an exact and transparent description of that license.

License Terms in Plain Language

By submitting your content, you grant Audio Imperial (NMG Express LLC) a:

  • Non-exclusive license: You keep full ownership of your content. You can share the same content anywhere else you like. We are not acquiring ownership — only the right to use it.
  • Royalty-free license: Audio Imperial will not pay you a fee, commission, or compensation in exchange for using your content, and you will not owe us any royalties. This is a zero-cost content-sharing arrangement.
  • Worldwide license: Even though we only ship products within the United States, our website is accessible globally. Your content may appear on our website as viewed by users anywhere in the world.
  • Irrevocable license (for published content): Once your content has been published on our website, your license grant to Audio Imperial for that specific published version cannot be revoked. This is because removing already-published content from caches, third-party platforms, and syndicated feeds is not always technically possible.
  • Sublicensable license: Audio Imperial may share your content with our trusted technology partners, marketing platforms, or service providers strictly for the purpose of operating and promoting our business (e.g., displaying reviews on third-party retail platforms, or using review management software).
  • Perpetual license: The rights we hold to use your content do not expire automatically after a set time period. However, you can request removal of identifiable personal information as explained in Section 10 of this policy.
How We May Use Your Content

Within the scope of the license described above, Audio Imperial may use your UGC for the following specific purposes:

  • Displaying your review, rating, or testimonial on the relevant product page or site-wide review sections of audioimperial.com
  • Using your photos or videos in product listings, homepage features, or banner graphics on our website
  • Sharing excerpts of your review in advertising campaigns (online display ads, social media posts, or email newsletters) to highlight genuine customer satisfaction
  • Syndicating your review to authorized third-party platforms where Audio Imperial products are sold or featured
  • Reproducing your content in aggregated or quoted form in press materials, trade publications, or business presentations related to Audio Imperial
  • Translating or adapting your content for accessibility purposes (e.g., adding alt-text to your submitted photos)

ⓘ Audio Imperial will not sell, rent, or license your personal identity or UGC content to unaffiliated third parties for independent commercial use. We will not use your submitted content to represent endorsement of unrelated products or services without your separate, explicit, written consent.

Attribution

We may publish your content under your submitted first name and last name initial (for example, "James R."), or anonymously if you select that preference. We will not publish your full legal name, home address, phone number, or email address publicly in association with your UGC without your explicit written consent.

Content Standards & Guidelines

All content submitted to Audio Imperial must meet the following standards. These standards exist to protect the integrity and usefulness of product information for all customers.

Accuracy & Relevance

Your Review Must Be Genuine and Relevant

  • Your review must be based on a real, personal experience with the specific product you are reviewing. Do not review products you have not actually received, set up, and used.
  • All factual claims in your review (such as specifications, technical capabilities, or comparisons to other products) must be accurate to the best of your knowledge.
  • Your review content must be relevant to the product listed on the page where you are submitting it. Reviews about Audio Imperial shipping times, unrelated products, or other stores are not appropriate for product-level reviews but can be submitted as general testimonials.
  • Star ratings must honestly reflect your satisfaction level with the product. A 5-star rating submitted without genuine high satisfaction, or a 1-star rating submitted as retaliation rather than honest feedback, violates this policy.
  • Reviews must be written in English, the language of our website and customer support team.
Content Conduct

Tone, Respect & Communication Standards

  • Keep your review respectful and civil. Criticism of a product is welcome and encouraged — harsh, defamatory, threatening, or abusive language directed at Audio Imperial staff, other reviewers, product manufacturers, or any person is not acceptable.
  • Your review should focus on the product itself: its sound performance, build quality, packaging, ease of setup, value for money, and your overall listening experience.
  • Do not include personal attacks, slurs, obscene language, or discriminatory statements of any kind.
  • Do not use your review as a platform for political commentary, spam, solicitation, or off-topic rants unrelated to hi-fi audio or Audio Imperial products.
  • If your review contains a legitimate complaint about a product defect or service issue, we encourage you to contact us directly at support@audioimperial.com or call +1 888-865-1086 so we can resolve your issue promptly in addition to publishing your honest feedback.
Media Standards

Photo & Video Submission Requirements

  • All submitted photos and videos must be your own original recordings. Do not submit media downloaded from the internet, taken from manufacturer websites, other review platforms, or any source other than your own camera.
  • Photos should clearly feature the Audio Imperial product you purchased. Blurry, irrelevant, offensive, or deceptive images will not be published.
  • Videos must be under 5 minutes in length and in a standard format (.mp4, .mov, .avi). Audio quality should be clear enough for viewers to understand your commentary.
  • Do not include other people's faces in photos or videos without their informed consent. Do not submit images that reveal identifiable home addresses, license plates, or personally identifying information of others.
  • Submitted media may be resized or lightly compressed for web performance purposes. We will not alter the substance of your media content.

Prohibited Content

The following types of content are strictly prohibited on Audio Imperial. Submitting any of these may result in immediate removal of your content without notice, suspension of your ability to submit future content, and in cases involving illegal activity, referral to law enforcement authorities.

Fake, fabricated, or dishonest reviews that do not represent your genuine, firsthand experience with the product

Reviews submitted in exchange for payment, discounts, free products, or any other compensation, without clearly disclosing that relationship in the review itself

Content posted by a competitor, competitor's employee, or agent intended to damage Audio Imperial's reputation or skew our product ratings

Defamatory statements — false statements of fact presented as true that could damage the reputation of a person, brand, or business

Content that infringes on the copyright, trademark, patent, or other intellectual property rights of any third party (including manufacturer brand assets, professional photographs, or copyrighted music in video reviews)

Content that includes or depicts nudity, sexual content, graphic violence, gore, or other material that is inappropriate for a general retail audience

Hate speech targeting individuals or groups based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or any other protected characteristic

Content that contains spam, promotional material for other businesses, affiliate links, unsolicited advertisements, or solicitations of any kind

Content that contains or distributes malware, viruses, or any code designed to harm computer systems or harvest personal data

Personally identifiable information (PII) of third parties, including other individuals' full names, home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or financial details, posted without their explicit consent

Content submitted by automated bots, scripts, or artificial intelligence systems without clear human authorship and genuine personal experience

Content from individuals under the age of 18, since our platform is intended for adults only

Ownership, Intellectual Property & Third-Party Rights

Understanding who owns what is essential. This section clarifies ownership rights for both you and Audio Imperial.

Your IP Rights

You Retain Ownership of Your Content

You, the content creator, retain full copyright ownership of all original content you submit to Audio Imperial. This policy grants Audio Imperial a license to use your content, as described in Section 3, but it does not transfer ownership of your content to us.

You may continue to use, share, sell, or license your content to anyone else without restriction. Submitting your content to Audio Imperial creates no exclusivity in your favor or ours.

Your Obligations Regarding Third-Party IP

By submitting content to Audio Imperial, you represent and warrant that:

  • The content is entirely your own original work, or you have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions from the rightful copyright owner to submit it
  • Your content does not infringe upon any copyright, trademark, trade secret, right of publicity, or any other proprietary right of any third party
  • If your video review includes background music, that music must be royalty-free, licensed under a Creative Commons license that permits commercial use, or an original composition of your own
  • If your photos or videos include any trademarked products or logos beyond the Audio Imperial product itself, you are responsible for ensuring that such use is permitted under fair use or other applicable legal doctrines
  • If you have written about another person in your review — such as a technician who helped you set up your equipment — you have obtained that person's consent to be mentioned publicly
Audio Imperial's Intellectual Property

All other content on audioimperial.com — including our product descriptions, store layout, photography, brand name, logo, design assets, and all written copy — is the exclusive property of NMG Express LLC and is protected under applicable U.S. copyright and trademark law. You may not reproduce, redistribute, or commercially exploit Audio Imperial's own content without our prior written consent.

FTC Disclosure & Honest Review Guarantee

Federal Trade Commission Compliance

We Comply with the FTC's Endorsement Guidelines

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that any material connection between a reviewer and a business be clearly and conspicuously disclosed whenever that connection could affect the audience's assessment of the review. Audio Imperial strictly adheres to the FTC's Guides Concerning Endorsements and Testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and the FTC's updated 2023 Revised Guides Concerning Endorsements and Testimonials.

What Counts as a Material Connection?
  • Receiving a free or discounted product in exchange for a review
  • Being compensated with money, gift cards, store credit, or other items of value for submitting a review
  • Having a personal relationship (friend, family member, employee) with Audio Imperial or NMG Express LLC
  • Being a paid brand ambassador or influencer for Audio Imperial or any product brand we carry
Your Disclosure Obligation

If any of the above material connections apply to you, you are legally required to include a clear disclosure statement in your review. Examples of acceptable disclosures include:

  • "I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review."
  • "Audio Imperial provided me with this amplifier free of charge to review."
  • "I am an employee of NMG Express LLC / Audio Imperial."
  • "I was compensated for writing this review. All opinions are my own."

⚠ Failure to disclose a material connection is a violation of FTC guidelines and may constitute deceptive advertising under the FTC Act (15 U.S.C. § 45). Audio Imperial will remove any review discovered to have an undisclosed material connection. Repeat violations may be reported to the FTC.

Audio Imperial's Commitment to Review Integrity

Audio Imperial is committed to maintaining a trustworthy and authentic review environment. We do not pay for positive reviews. We do not delete negative reviews simply because they are critical of our products or service. All genuine reviews — positive, negative, or mixed — are eligible for publication provided they meet the content standards in Section 4 of this policy.

No Fake, Incentivized, or Manipulated Reviews

Audio Imperial has a strict zero-tolerance policy for inauthentic reviews. This section explains exactly what we prohibit and how we enforce it.

Review Authenticity Policy

Our Zero-Tolerance Stance on Review Manipulation

Audio Imperial does not engage in, solicit, facilitate, or allow any of the following review manipulation practices — all of which may also violate U.S. law, FTC regulations, and the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (ROSCA) where applicable:

  • Buying reviews: We do not pay any person, agency, or service to post positive reviews for Audio Imperial or our products
  • Review gating: We do not selectively ask only satisfied customers to submit reviews while discouraging unsatisfied customers from doing so
  • Conditional incentives: We do not offer refunds, discounts, or bonuses to customers who agree to change or remove negative reviews
  • Competitor attacks: We do not solicit negative reviews of competitor businesses
  • Self-reviews: Employees, owners, and contractors of NMG Express LLC may not post reviews of Audio Imperial products without clearly disclosing their relationship in full
  • Family reviews: Immediate family members or close personal contacts of Audio Imperial staff may not submit reviews without full disclosure
  • Bot or AI-generated reviews: Automated review submission through software, scripts, or AI language models is strictly prohibited

ⓘ The INFORM Consumers Act (2023) and FTC enforcement actions have significantly increased regulatory scrutiny of fake online reviews. The FTC's final rule on fake reviews (16 C.F.R. Part 465, effective October 2024) makes it unlawful to create, buy, or disseminate fake consumer reviews. Civil penalties of up to $51,744 per violation may apply to businesses that violate this rule.

What Happens if We Detect Fake Reviews?

Audio Imperial uses manual review processes and third-party review integrity tools to identify inauthentic submissions. If we detect a review that appears fake, incentivized without disclosure, or submitted in bad faith, we will:

  1. Remove the review immediately from our website
  2. Flag the associated customer account for review
  3. In cases involving deliberate fraud, preserve the evidence and consider reporting to the FTC or other relevant authorities
  4. Issue a notice to the submitter explaining why their content was removed

Content Moderation Policy

Moderation Standards

How Audio Imperial Reviews and Publishes Submitted Content

Audio Imperial operates a pre-publication moderation system. This means that all submitted User-Generated Content is reviewed by our team before it is published on our website. Content is not live immediately upon submission.

Our moderation process is governed by the content standards in Section 4 and the prohibited content list in Section 5 of this policy. We are committed to applying these standards consistently and without bias, regardless of whether a review is positive or negative.

Grounds for Rejection or Removal

We reserve the right to reject or remove any submitted content that:

  • Violates any provision of this UGC License Agreement
  • Contains false or misleading product claims that are demonstrably inaccurate
  • Includes personal attacks, profanity, hate speech, or discriminatory language
  • Is determined to be inauthentic, incentivized without disclosure, or fraudulent
  • Infringes on the intellectual property rights of any person or entity
  • Contains spam, promotional content, or links to external websites not related to Audio Imperial products
  • Is submitted in clear bad faith with the intent to harm Audio Imperial, a brand we carry, or any individual
  • Is submitted by a person under the age of 18
  • We are legally required to remove under applicable U.S. law
What We Will Never Do

Audio Imperial will never:

  • Reject or remove a review solely because it is critical of a product's performance or quality
  • Alter the substantive content of a review (meaning, change what you wrote) without your consent
  • Suppress negative reviews in order to artificially inflate our average star rating
  • Selectively moderate reviews based on the reviewer's identity, race, gender, political views, or any protected characteristic
Editing and Formatting

Audio Imperial reserves the right to make minor, non-substantive formatting edits to submitted content for readability purposes — such as correcting obvious typographical errors in product names, adjusting image sizes, or removing formatting code. We will not alter the meaning, sentiment, or factual claims in your review.

Our Moderation Process Step by Step

Here is exactly what happens to your content from the moment you submit it to the moment it appears on our website.

1

Submission Received

You submit your review, photo, video, or question via one of our accepted submission channels. The content is queued in our moderation system and is not yet visible to other site visitors. You will receive an automatic confirmation acknowledging receipt of your submission within 24 hours.

2

Purchase Verification

For product reviews and testimonials, our system cross-references your submission with our order records using your email address and order number (if provided). Verified purchase status may be displayed publicly alongside your review (e.g., "Verified Buyer"). Unverified reviews are not automatically rejected but are subject to more stringent moderation scrutiny.

3

Automated Screening

Content passes through automated screening tools that flag common issues such as spam patterns, prohibited keyword lists, duplicate submissions, and bot-like behavior. Content that passes automated screening moves to human review.

4

Human Review

A member of the Audio Imperial team reads or views your submission in full, checking it against all standards described in this policy. This review typically takes between 1 and 5 business days. During high-volume periods, it may take up to 10 business days.

5

Decision: Publish, Edit, or Reject

Your content is either published to the site, returned to you with a request to revise a specific issue, or rejected. If your content is rejected, you will be notified by email with a clear explanation of the reason. You may appeal a rejection by contacting us directly at support@audioimperial.com.

6

Post-Publication Monitoring

Once published, content remains subject to post-publication monitoring. If we later discover that published content violates this policy — or if a valid removal request or DMCA takedown notice is received — we will take appropriate action, which may include removal of the content.

Removal & Takedown Requests
