Audiobook Purchase Terms and Conditions

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY AND IN FULL. THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS ON THE AVAILABILITY OF AUDIOBOOKS.

Please read these Audiobook Purchase Terms and Conditions (these "Audiobook Terms") carefully as they govern your use of (which includes access to) audiobooks or other audio versions of literary works of authorship, such as books, comics, newspapers, magazines, and other audio versions of literary works of authorship ("Audiobook Content") on the Spotify Service (as that term is defined in the Spotify Terms of Use, which are hereby incorporated by reference). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning given to them in the Spotify Terms of Use. For the avoidance of doubt, the Audiobook Content is deemed "Content," for the purpose of applying the Spotify Terms of Use to these Audiobook Terms. In the event of a conflict between these Audiobook Terms and the Spotify Terms of Use, the Audiobook Terms shall govern.

By using or otherwise accessing Audiobook Content on the Spotify Service, you agree to these Audiobook Terms and the Spotify Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Audiobook Terms and the Spotify Terms of Use, then you must not use the Spotify Service or access any Audiobook Content.
