We are not responsible for or involved in the negotiation of any interaction, transaction, license or other relationship between you and any other user of the Service or the Website or provider of Content, nor any licensor, licensee, advertiser, sponsor, affiliate, strategic partner, vendor or any other third party, and are not acting as your or any other party's agent or advisor. We do not endorse any Content provided by a user, Provider, advertiser, sponsor, affiliate, strategic partner, vendor or any other third party, and cannot guarantee any aspect of such interaction, transaction, license or relationship between a Provider and Client or with respect to any other party. Additionally, we do not endorse any party or licensing any intellectual property under Opportunity Use Agreements between a Provider and Client. Any Opportunity Use Agreement entered into between a Provider and Client is at your sole discretion and risk and we make no representations or warranties concerning the results from any such activities. Further, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of, and do not pre-screen, monitor or endorse, any Content provided by a user, Provider, vendor or any other third party, nor transactions that take place on the Website or through the Service (such as content delivery method used to deliver music), and have no obligation to do so (though we reserve the right to do so).

6. User Conduct.

You may access and use the Website, the Service and Content only for the purposes expressly authorized hereunder and so long as you are in compliance with all provisions of this Agreement, and as to Songs, so long as you are in compliance with such applicable Provider Agreement.

In connection with your use of the Website and the Service, any Content you provide to us or post on or through the Service or the Website is referred to herein as a "Submission". You agree to abide by all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations and not violate or infringe any rights (including without limitation copyrights, rights of publicity or privacy and trademarks) of others or our policies or the operational or security mechanisms of the Website and Service, nor allow or facilitate a third-party to do the same.

Unless otherwise expressly authorized by us and without limiting your rights to your Submissions, you agree not to nor allow anyone else to:

You are responsible for verifying the accuracy and legality of (i) any Content that you access or use though the Website or the Service, (ii) the ability of any user, Provider, advertiser, sponsor, affiliate or strategic partner to perform any transaction with you or license or engage in a relationship with a user, and (iii) adhering to the terms and conditions of any Opportunity Use Agreement.

7. Songs and Providers

Usage of any song(s) by a Client, including compositions and master recordings for such song(s) included as part of the Content (collectively referred to as "Songs") that you access through the Service is subject to and conditioned on such Client entering into a separate written master use and/or synchronization and performance rights (publishing) license ("Opportunity Use Agreement") between the Client and such provider of such Song (a "Provider"). Any use of the Songs by a Client shall be subject exclusively to the terms and conditions of the Opportunity Use Agreement and will supersede any conflicting provisions in this Agreement, provided, however that your obligations to Brandracket under this Agreement with respect to Song(s) shall continue to apply.

10. Privacy and Personally Identifiable Information

You agree to the Company's Privacy Policy, as may be updated from time to time, and that is made available online at http://www.brandsforbands.com/privacy-policy. The Company's Privacy Policy explains what data the Company collects from users of the Website and how we treat your personally identifiable information related to accessing and managing your User Account and protect your privacy when you use the Website or the Service. Your use of Content provided by others whether on the Website, through the Service or separate from thereto may result in your personally identifiable information being provided to others, in which case the Company's Privacy Policy shall not apply to such personally identifiable information.

11. Copyright and Trademark Infringement Policy and Notification Procedure

The Company does not own the Content posted by others to the Website. All Content is posted by an individual, group or company (collectively, the "Provider") who has represented and warranted to the Company that, among other things, neither the Content nor the names, trademarks and service marks under which Content is promoted (collectively, the "Name") infringes any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights, rights of publicity or privacy, or moral rights.

Since the Company is not in a position to determine who has the prevailing claim to use any particular Content or Name posted to the Website, its policy on such matters is that they be resolved directly by the parties alleging misuse of their Content and/or Name (the "Complainants") and the Providers. We recommend that Complainants immediately notify Providers about allegations of infringement.

For matters of suspected copyright infringement please see our Copyright Policy, available at http://www.brandsforbands.com/copyright-policy.

12. Third Party Links and Content

The Website contains links and references to websites of others. We may, from time to time, at our sole discretion, add or remove links to other websites. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you, and access to any such websites is at your own risk. You are recommended to review the information provided by third parties (such as, but not limited to, the terms of service of the relevant website) before accessing such websites. We do not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to such websites or the products and services offered thereby. In no event will we be responsible for the information contained in such websites, their practices or for your use of or inability to use such websites, or transmissions received from such Websites. By using the Website, you expressly relieve us from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Website, and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each other website that you visit.

13. Access to the Website, Service and Content

The Company reserves the right to change, suspend, remove, terminate or disable access to the Website, Service or Content, or any feature thereof, at any time for any reason, or no reason, in its sole discretion, with or without notice. You acknowledge that we may, in our sole discretion and at any time(s), impose a fee for the use of certain Services, upon posting a notice on the Website or through notice to you through the email designated in your User Account. In addition, we may, from time to time, perform maintenance upon the Website or Service resulting in interrupted service, delays or errors in the Website or Services. We may attempt to provide prior notice of scheduled maintenance but we do not guarantee that such notice will be provided. You agree to back up all of your Submissions, including Promotional Materials and Songs, so that you can access and use them when needed. Brandracket does not warrant that it backs-up any Content, including Submissions. As a result, you agree to accept as risk the loss of any and all of your Submissions on the Website or through the Service, or any delay in accessing any Content, including without limitation Songs, Promotional Materials and other Submissions. In no event will the Company be liable for any removal or disabling of access to any portion of the Website, Service or Content, including but not limited to any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, theft or destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, user communications.

14. Public Forums and Private Communications

The Website or an Affiliated Website may contain certain features that enable users to interact directly with each other, including by sending private messages to other Website users and posting comments and exchanging useful and helpful information with other users of the Website ("Public Forums"). While using a Public Forum or reading a private message, you may be exposed to content of other users with which (a) you may disagree, (b) that you may find offensive, indecent, or objectionable, or (c) is inaccurate, misleading, or illegal. You expressly assume and agree to bear any and all risks associated with your use of, exposure to or reliance on any such content. You should be skeptical about information provided by others, and you acknowledge that the use of any Submissions posted in any Public Forum or received via a private message is at your own risk. Further, never assume that people are who they say they are, know what they say they know, or are affiliated with whom they say they are affiliated with. Information obtained in a Public Forum or from a private message may not be reliable, and it is not a good idea to take any action based solely or largely on information you cannot confirm. We cannot be responsible for the accuracy of any Submissions contained in a Public Forum, and we shall not be responsible for any decisions made or actions taken or not taken based on such information or content. For example, we are not responsible for any transactions based on Submissions contained in the Public Forums or a private message.

Please respect and interact with other users as you would in any public arena. Do not reveal information that you do not want to make public.

We encourage you to report to us at [email protected] any suspected violations of this Agreement or any other additional terms posted on the Website, in particular, as they relate to inappropriate behavior or activity in our Public Forums. We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to investigate and take appropriate legal action in our sole discretion against anyone who we believe violates this Agreement, including removing the offending communication in whole or in part from the Website, suspending or terminating the membership of such violators or suspending or terminating their right to use and access the Website.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to adopt, modify and post additional rules in any Public Forum and to condition access to any such feature by any individual or group in accordance with criteria determined by us in our sole discretion, to deny or restrict access by any individual or group who fails to meet that criteria or by anyone who fails to comply with our criteria or rules at any time, and to change or modify the criteria or rules at any time, in our sole discretion.

15. Fees

(1) License Fees. All payment of money in exchange for license or ownership rights to Content (including Songs) ("License Fees"), including without limitation, Fees pursuant to an Opportunity Use Agreement shall be due and payable according to a separate written agreement (e.g., Opportunity Use Agreement). We may offer a License Fee payment and/or collection option on the Website. In the event you and another user of the Website elect to use our payment process, you agree to Brandracket (or its payment processing vendor, e.g., PayPal) storing your payment card or account information. You also agree to pay the applicable Fees as they become due plus all related taxes, and to reimburse us for all collection costs and interest for any overdue amounts. You agree to update or provide us with your then current payment information (bank account, credit card or otherwise) to comply with your obligation to pay such Fees. Payments will be charged by us or our payment processor in accordance with the terms of your applicable written agreement. You agree that any disputes regarding payment or charges shall be submitted to your applicable licensee or licensor, as the case may be, within sixty (60) days of such charge and that Brandracket shall be acting as a payment intermediary solely to accommodate the parties in collection and distribution of the License Fees pursuant to their separate written agreement. Users are ultimately responsible for the payment and/or collection of any Fees and we make no representations, warranties or assurances regarding such payment or collection of Fees.

(2) Premium Access Fees. The Website may, from time to time, feature premium options that we offer for a fee, either on a one-time or subscription basis (collectively, "Premium Access"), you agree to Brandracket (or its payment processing vendor) storing your payment card or account information. You also agree to pay the applicable fees for the Premium Access (including, without limitation, periodic fees for premium accounts) as they become due plus all related taxes, and to reimburse us for all collection costs and interest for any overdue amounts. You also agree to update or provide us with your then payment card or account information to comply with your subscription terms and to Brandracket charging your payment card or account on a periodic basis in accordance with your subscription terms. Payments will be charged on the day your Premium Access goes into effect and will cover the use of that service for the period indicated. Thereafter, you agree that periodic payments (if applicable and subject to change from time to time that will be reflected in an updated Terms of Use posted on our Website) will continue to be charged to your credit card on a recurring basis until you cancel the Premium Access. The amount of the periodic recurring charge (if any) will be the then current subscription fee applicable to the Premium Access you selected. You acknowledge that the amount of the recurring charge (if any) may increase if the applicable subscription fee increases. Premium Access must be cancelled prior to your periodic renewal (if any) in order to avoid billing of the next period's Premium Access fee. You may cancel your Premium Access by emailing us at [email protected]. All Premium Access fees and charges are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods of such Premium Access. All Premium Access features expire immediately upon cancellation or termination of your Premium Access features or account. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we reserve the right to either suspend or terminate your Premium Access. Any such suspension or termination may (at our sole election) result in the cancellation of your User Account or of any promotional programs or features applicable to your Premium Access. You agree to submit any disputes regarding any charge to your account in writing to us within sixty (60) days of such charge, otherwise such dispute will be waived and such charge will be final and not subject to challenge. You also acknowledge that our Premium Access is subject to this Agreement and any expressly indicated terms related to the provision of the Premium Access, if any.

(3) We are not responsible for paying any amounts unless we have received payment. We reserve the right to charge-back and offset for any charge-backs. If you have been overpaid for any reason (as determined in our sole discretion), you agree to repay us immediately upon request.
