## About Ridge Radio
Ridge Radio is a multi-stream online station built around the sound and spirit of the ridge. From the high-energy edge of Ridge Rock, to the grounded storytelling of Ridge Country, and the calm, reflective atmosphere of Ridge Worship, each stream offers its own distinct listening experience while staying connected under one unified identity. Whether you're chasing bold guitar-driven anthems, heartfelt country roots, or peaceful moments of worship and reflection, Ridge Radio brings it all together—music that rises, flows, and connects from one horizon to the next.

## 1. Non-Commercial Hobby Status
This website and its associated audio streams (collectively, the "Service") are operated strictly as a personal, non-commercial hobby project. The Service does not operate as a business, corporation, or commercial enterprise, and does not generate business revenue. All content, music curation, playlists, and commentary are provided solely for personal expression, informational, and entertainment purposes.
## 2. "As-Is" and "As-Available" Provision
The Service is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. The operator does not guarantee that the audio stream or website will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components. Under no circumstances shall the operator be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use of, or inability to use, this website or stream.
## 3. Global Audience and Regional Intent
The Service is intended for a global audience and is not directed at, or tailored to, residents of any specific country, state, or territory. Alternative domain extensions (including, but not limited to, .ca redirects) are maintained strictly for personal convenience and domain preservation. They do not constitute an intent to target or conduct business within those specific geographic regions.
## 4. Privacy Notice & International Data Processing
The physical servers hosting this website and its audio streams are located outside of Canada.
* Data Collected: Because this is a hobby site, we do not actively track you, sell your data, or require user accounts. However, when you connect to the radio stream or browse the website, standard technical logs automatically register your IP address, browser type, and connection time. This data is used strictly for technical maintenance, preventing stream abuse, and counting anonymous listener numbers.
* International Transfers: By accessing the Service, you acknowledge that your connection data will be transferred across international borders. This data is subject to the privacy, security, and data laws of the country where the servers physically reside.
## 5. User Responsibility
Users who choose to access the Service from any location worldwide do so on their own initiative. You are entirely responsible for compliance with your own local, national, or international laws regarding the streaming of internet radio and digital media.

## 7. Copyright & DMCA Takedown Notice

* Please include your name, proof of ownership, and the specific track or content in question. The operator will review and gladly remove the content to resolve the matter amicably and promptly without the need for formal legal escalation.
If you want to record an mp3 promoting yourself and your music instead, for us to play on our station free of charge, we think that would be a much better resolution for both parties. Just send it our way and we'll upload it to our server rotation today! [email protected]

Any disputes, claims, or legal matters arising out of or related to the use of this website or the Service shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the country and region where the operator resides, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

## Music Submissions
Showcase your original music on Ridge Radio! 🎸 Submit your tracks to ridgeradio@mail.com — polished or AI-assisted (just mention it in your email). Include proper metadata with title and artist name. MP3s up to 25MB or a free-download link work best. We're especially interested in Alberta-themed or oriented songs that capture Alberta's independent spirit. If the music submission fits our genres of Rock, Country, or Worship, it's usually added to our rotation within 72 hours. The server determines how often and when it is played if at all. Submit your independent recordings at ridgeradio.ca and let's get your music heard!
