Welcome to Push It Real Good (the “Service”) which is owned and operated by McKinney & Silver, LLC (“McKinney”). By using the Service you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms of Use.
This Service allows you to create online buttons that use selected graphics available on our website and audio files accessible through a third party website at SoundCloud.com (the “Buttons”). Such Buttons are thereafter shared on a publicly accessible webpage under www.pushitrealgood.com. We want you to enjoy this Service and have fun. However, we expect users to follow certain rules and use good judgment at all times.
Please read these Terms of Use carefully before registering or using the Service. If you do not accept these Terms of Use, then you may not use the Service. These Terms of Use are subject to change by McKinney at any time, effective when posted on the Service. Your continued use after such notice will constitute acceptance by you of such changes.

Therefore, you hereby grant McKinney a worldwide, royalty-free right and license to display, distribute, sublicense, modify or otherwise use your Button anywhere and through any medium. If you no longer wish to have your Button used in this way, then please follow the instructions below in the section entitled “Removing Your Button.”
