These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Julius Tech Hub (J.T.H) (“we”, “us”), the company that owns and operates Diamond Play. They cover your use of https://www.diamondplay.name.ng and everything we offer through it (the “Service”). You can learn more about Julius Tech Hub (J.T.H) at julius.diamondplay.name.ng.
By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use Diamond Play.

4. The service and plans
Diamond Play lets you stream music, build playlists, follow artists and discover new releases. We offer a free plan supported by advertising, and paid plans (such as Premium and Family) with additional features. On the Free plan you can skip up to 6 songs per hour; the count resets one hour after your first skip. Premium and Family have unlimited skips. Audio quality is Low or Normal on the Free plan, and every quality on Premium and Family. Features, catalog and availability can change, and not every track is available in every place.
Music is licensed for streaming within the Service only. You do not own the tracks you listen to, and you may not download, record, copy or redistribute them except through features we provide.
5. Paid plans and billing
- Price, billing period and renewal terms for a paid plan are shown before you confirm your purchase.
- Unless we tell you otherwise at checkout, paid plans run for the period shown and end when that period finishes unless renewed.
- Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or stated at checkout.
- We may change prices for future billing periods and will tell you in advance.
- Plan access ends automatically when your paid period ends.
- Online payments are processed by our payment partner, Paystack. We never see or store your full card details. Online payments through Paystack are being introduced in stages and may not be available yet.
6. Advertising
The Free plan includes audio advertisements that cannot be skipped. On the Premium plan advertisements still play, but you can skip them. The Family plan has no advertisements. You agree not to block, skip (outside the controls we provide), tamper with or artificially trigger ads or ad events.
7. Paid promotions for verified artists
Verified artists can pay to promote their own released music on Diamond Play. These rules apply to every paid promotion.
- Who can promote: only artists whose profile is verified by us, and only for tracks they own or have the rights to promote and that are already released.
- Placements: “Featured on Home” shows your song in a Promoted row on the home page. “Advert on the Player” plays a 15 or 30 second clip of your song as an advert between tracks for listeners on the Free and Premium plans (Family plan listeners hear no adverts). For clips, we use the first 15 or 30 seconds of the song you choose.
- Labelling: promoted content may be labelled as promoted or sponsored.
- Price and duration: the price depends on the placement and how many days, weeks or months you choose, and is shown in naira before you pay. Weeks and months may carry a discount.
- Payment: promotions are paid for online through Paystack. Payments are not available yet, and until we switch them on you cannot pay for or start a promotion, and nothing will be charged. We will update this page and the Service when they are available.
- Review: every paid request is reviewed before it goes live. We can refuse a request that breaks these Terms, involves content you do not have the rights to, or is not suitable for the placement.
- When it starts: your promotion starts when we approve it, not when you pay, and ends automatically when your chosen time is over. You can cancel a request at any time before you pay.
- Refunds: if we reject your request, we refund the full amount you paid to your original payment method. Refunds can take several business days to appear, depending on your bank or card provider. If we stop a promotion early because of a fault on our side, we will refund the unused time or extend it. Otherwise, once a promotion is approved and running, payments are not refundable except where the law requires.
- No guarantees: we do not promise any number of plays, streams, followers, sales or other results from a promotion.
- Your responsibility: you confirm you have all rights needed to promote the song, including the clips we create from it, and that it follows the rules in these Terms.
8. Acceptable use

- Break the law or infringe anyone’s rights, including copyright and privacy.

9. Your content and artist uploads
You may add content such as playlists, profile information, messages and, if you are an approved artist, music and artwork (“Your Content”). You keep ownership of Your Content.
You give Diamond Play a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, stream, display, reproduce and distribute Your Content on and through the Service, and to promote it within the Service, so that we can operate it. This licence ends when you remove the content or close your account, except for copies that are shared by others or kept in backups for a short period.
Artists confirm that they:
- Own, or have all necessary rights and licences to, everything they upload, including recordings, compositions, samples, artwork and any featured performers.
- Have not infringed any third-party rights, and will pay any royalties or fees owed to others.
- Have correctly marked explicit content.
We may remove or disable content, and suspend uploads or accounts, that we believe breaks these Terms or the law.
10. Copyright complaints
We respect intellectual property. If you believe content on Diamond Play infringes your copyright, email juliustechhub@gmail.com with:
- Your name and contact details.
- A description of the work you say is infringed.
- The link to the content on Diamond Play.
- A statement that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them, and that the information you are giving is accurate.
We may remove the content while we review, tell the uploader, and end the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe.
11. Our intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, logo, name and the “Diamond Play” brand, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by law. These Terms do not give you any rights to them other than the limited right to use the Service as intended.
12. Third-party services
The Service relies on providers such as hosting, storage, email and payment services (including Paystack for online payments). Links and content from others are not controlled by us, and we are not responsible for them.
13. Suspension and termination
You can stop using Diamond Play and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access, with notice where reasonable, if you break these Terms, put others or the Service at risk, or we must do so by law.
Sections that by their nature should continue after termination, such as content licences, disclaimers, liability and governing law, will continue.
14. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We work hard to keep it reliable, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted, error-free or that every track will always be available. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties not expressly stated here.
15. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Diamond Play and its owners and contributors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service.
Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or ₦10,000. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or limits your consumer rights under Nigerian law.
16. Your responsibility
You agree to cover reasonable losses and costs we suffer from third-party claims caused by Your Content or by your breach of these Terms or of the law.
17. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Courts in Lagos State have jurisdiction over disputes, unless the law gives you the right to bring a claim somewhere else. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve any issue informally.
18. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms as the Service grows. For important changes we will give you notice by email or in the app before they apply. If you keep using Diamond Play after the changes take effect, you accept the new Terms.
