Membership & Store Terms
I make and sell my own things. These are the terms for the Everything All-Access Pass and for anything else you buy from my store. They're written so a human can read them. If your situation needs airtight legalese, talk to a lawyer; this is me telling you the deal straight, and it's the version I'll hold myself to.
The short version
You pay for a year, you get everything I sell plus the members vault. It renews yearly until you cancel, which takes two clicks on Gumroad. Cancel and you keep access through what you paid for, and your downloads are yours forever. Buy at a launch rate and that rate is grandfathered for as long as you keep the pass. Bundle owners and Founding members never pay at all. Don't resell my work, and if anything goes wrong, email me: contact@nicheof.one.
1. Who you're dealing with
The seller is J.D. Forrest, operating as Niche of One, an independent media operation based in the United States. Payments are processed by Gumroad; your card details go to Gumroad, never to me or my servers. Questions go to contact@nicheof.one. You're emailing me, not a department.
2. What the All-Access Pass includes
An active pass gets you:
- Every digital product I sell on my own Gumroad store, current and future, while your pass is active.
- The members vault on this site: the high-fidelity radio stream and the downloadable music catalog.
- First access to drops, experiments and short runs, including occasional members-only items.
It does not include: other makers' products in the Mall or the recommended shops, Amazon items, affiliate products of any kind, physical goods unless a listing says so, client work, or one-off commissions. If I didn't make it and sell it on my own shelf, it isn't in the pass.
3. Billing, renewal, and cancellation
The pass is a yearly subscription billed by Gumroad. It renews automatically each year until you cancel. Gumroad sends a reminder before an annual renewal charges, so nothing sneaks up on you. You can cancel anytime from your Gumroad account; cancellation stops future charges and your access continues through the end of the period you already paid for.
Promotional launch rates are grandfathered. If you subscribe at a promotional rate (like the day-one price), that rate stays yours at every renewal for as long as your subscription stays active and in good standing. Cancel or lapse and later resubscribe, and you pay the then-current door price. For members billing at the regular rate, I sometimes offer renewal discounts before a renewal date; that's a habit of mine, not a contractual promise.
A failed renewal charge, refund, or chargeback ends pass access. Anything you already downloaded stays yours.
4. The grandfather clause
This one's load-bearing, so it goes in writing: anyone who purchased the Everything Bundle on or before July 4, 2026, and anyone who is a paid Founding member of my newsletter as of that date, receives complimentary lifetime access to everything the All-Access Pass opens. No charge, ever, for as long as this operation exists. This access is tied to your purchase email and is not transferable or resellable.
5. Your license to the work
Everything you get through the pass or the store is licensed to you, personally. That means:
- Downloads are yours to keep forever, including after you cancel.
- Use them yourself, on any of your own devices. Quote short passages with credit, that's fine and encouraged.
- Don't resell, redistribute, repost publicly, share your member login, or upload my work to file-sharing sites or AI training datasets.
- The music is for personal listening. Commercial use, sync, or sampling needs my written okay first. Email me; I'm easy to reach and historically reasonable.
I keep the copyright to everything. Abusing the license (sharing accounts, scraping the vault, reselling) gets your access revoked without refund, and I built the gate myself, so I will notice.
6. Refunds
If something's broken, missing, or genuinely not what the listing described, email me within 30 days and I'll make it right, refund included if that's the right answer. Refunds are processed through Gumroad. "I read it all and changed my mind" is generally not a refund; it's a library, not a hotel. I'm reasonable about edge cases, and I'd rather fix a problem than argue about one.
7. What I don't promise
The catalog and the vault are provided as-is. I plan to keep making things at the pace I always have, and the whole pitch is that profit goes back into the work, but I don't guarantee a release schedule, a volume of output, or that any particular future thing gets made. If I ever stop entirely, your downloads stay yours and your renewal simply stops mattering. The downside has a floor.
8. Access mechanics
Member sign-in works by magic link sent to your purchase email; there are no passwords. Keep your email current with Gumroad, because that address is your membership. If you change emails, write me and I'll move it.
9. Changes to these terms
I may update these terms as the operation grows. Material changes get announced in the newsletter and the feed, not buried. The grandfather clause in section 4 doesn't get walked back; that promise predates these terms and outranks them. Continuing to renew after a change means you accept it.
10. Liability, plain
To the maximum extent the law allows: everything here is provided as-is, without warranties, and my total liability to you is capped at what you paid me in the twelve months before the claim. These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. If something goes wrong, email me before anything else. I answer my own email, and nearly everything is fixable in one exchange.
