1. Intellectual Property Rights

All content contained on this website is a copyright of grrrlinablackhoodie.com. For permission, please email us. We’re very laid-back and easy to talk to… unless you steal our stuff without asking.

2. Submission Policies

Feel free to submit music, photographs, blogs or other creative content to submissions@grrrlinablackhoodie.com. Please include: your contact information, your inspiration or other bands you sound like, a brief anecdote that will make us giggle — anything you think will pique our interest.

By submitting, you hereby agree…

that you are the owner (or have permission from the owner to publish or otherwise use the content). All submissions will be reviewed and published at the discretion of the site’s editor. If you want to contribute, you agree on the following terms and conditions:

• The publication of any material you submit to us will be at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to edit, make additions/deletions, or totally refuse publication if it’s obscene, offensive, defamatory of any person or otherwise illegal.
• We may cut, edit, crop or arrange your photograph(s) or graphics as we think fit to appear on the site. We promise not to make it look stupid. And if it looks stupid, don’t be afraid to tell us.
• You grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to republish any material you submit — no take backs! If you really don’t want us to publish it again, just ask.
• You are liable for any third-party claims, costs, loss or damage we incur as a result of publishing material you submit to us.

For reviews or interview requests…

In accordance with FTC guidelines, anything received is in exchange for an honest and fair assessment. You cannot pay us to say your band is awesome. We have too much integrity (for now). Any paid or sponsored posts will be marked as such.

Are you looking for a music blog to interview you, so that you can share it to your social channels? To set something up, please contact us at info@grrrlinablackhoodie.com.

We reserve the right to refuse to review or interview any artists/products that we find offensive.
