Terms of Use

Effective Date: January 26th, 2016

We appreciate you taking the time to read this section as it is most important that you understand and agree to it prior to using Musjic services. It is rather a long document so we thought to commence with the three most important issues you may consider pertinent to going forward.

Welcome to the non-legally-binding introductory paragraph to our Terms of Use! We recognize that the following document is the literary equivalent of 20 milligrams of Ambien, but it really and truly is required that you read and agree to it before using Musjic. We've done our best to make it all go down smooth – you won't find any 8-point type, or long sections of TOTALLY UNREADABLE ALL-CAPS intended to fulfill the legal definition of "conspicuous" (we're pretty sure Your Honor will accept yellow, bold text instead). Still, what follows is plenty involved, so we thought we'd kick things off by answering the top three things a visitor to this page might be wondering:

1. Am I signing over all rights to my music?

   No - the only rights we assign are the obvious ones we need to run the service. As an example, the right to host the music you upload, stream and sell it on your behalf, display whatever lyrics and artwork you put on the site, and so on. Click here for full details.

2. What material can I upload?

   Everything you upload must be your creative material and you must control all rights to it. Clearly, this means covers are out. An exception to this is where you have a written license, assignation or legal authorization from the artist to upload the cover to Musjic and grant us the rights detailed in the terms indicated below. Please do not upload cover songs unless you have obtained all necessary permissions and authorizations in writing! These requirements apply regardless of whether you're selling the music or giving it away. Click here for full details.

3. What will Musjic charge?

   The following represents the legally binding section. Please read these Terms of Use ("Agreement" or "Terms of Use") carefully before using the services offered by Musjic Limited. ("Company," “we,” “us,” or “our”). This agreement sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of the Website at www.musjic.com (the "Site") and the service owned and operated by company, including any mobile software applications offered or published by Company (collectively with the Site, the "Service"). By using the Site or Service in any form or manner, including but not limited to visiting or browsing the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use.

Personal Information – Fans

You may register with the Company as a fan and create a user account (“Fan Account”), which will allow you to access certain features of the Service that are only available through Fan Accounts, such as a fan profile page that lists your history of purchases of Music along with information that you choose to share about yourself, and the ability to follow other fans or Artists . Following an Artist or purchasing a subscription to an Artist (an “Artist Subscription”) gives that Artist access to your email address, as does making a purchase from an Artist while logged in to your Fan Account. Your history of purchases of Music, and any information you provide for your profile page will be available to other users of the Service by default, subject to our Privacy Policy.

As a condition to each such Artist’s right to receive such Fan Information, Company requires each Artist to agree to the terms set forth in the next section of this Agreement. However, you acknowledge that the Company has no control over the use of the Fan Information by the Artists, and you further acknowledge and agree that Musjic shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the Artists’ use of such Fan Information.

Fan Personal Information - Artists.

In connection with certain features of the Service, including by requiring that fans provide you with their e-mail addresses and other personal information in order to access the free download option, you may collect certain types of Fan Information. As a condition to receiving such Fan Information, you acknowledge and agree that you will not disclose, rent, or sell any Fan Information to any third party, and you will use the Fan Information only in connection with the Artist’s mailing list or Artist Subscription, in order to provide fans with general information and news about the Artist, such as upcoming shows, new Music or other Content delivered in connection with your Artist Subscription. You further agree that any e-mail or other communication sent to the Artist’s mailing list or sent in connection with the Artist Subscription will comply with e-mail marketing laws and include a mechanism by which the recipient can unsubscribe from the mailing list, along with clear instructions on how to do so (i.e. a functioning "opt-out" mechanism). You will promptly implement a recipient’s request to opt-out of receiving e-mails from you and will not send any further e-mails to such opting-out recipient.

Registration

You may browse the Site and view Content without registering, but as a condition to using certain aspects of the Service, you may be required to register with the Company and select a password and screen name (“User ID”). You shall provide the Company with accurate, complete, and updated registration information. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of these Terms of Use, which may result in immediate termination of your Company account. You shall not (a) select or use as a User ID or domain a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (b) use as a User ID or domain a name subject to any rights of a person other than you without appropriate authorization; or (c) use as a User ID or domain a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene. The Company reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel a User ID and domain in its sole discretion. You are solely responsible for activity that occurs on your account and shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Company password. You shall never use another user’s account without such other user’s express permission. You will immediately notify Company in writing of any unauthorized use of your account, or other account related security breach of which you are aware.

Fees and Payments – Fans.

You may purchase products and/or services from an Artist through the Site, including, without limitation, purchases of Content (including digital Content made available via download and streaming through the Service (“Digital Content”), physical merchandise (“Merchandise”) and Artist Subscriptions. Each such purchase is a “Transaction.”

All inquiries regarding Transactions involving Merchandise only (a “Merchandise Transaction”) will be directed to the relevant Artist. The Company is not responsible for refunds for Merchandise, except as provided for in this Agreement.

All sales of Digital Content are final (except where prohibited by law), unless otherwise determined by Musjic. If you do not receive the Digital Content or otherwise have an issue with the Digital Content delivered, please contact Musjic with your request and proof of payment, and we will notify the relevant Artist and work with them to resolve your issue. At Musjic's sole discretion, you may be credited or refunded for the Digital Content. However, you understand and agree that Musjic is a platform that Artists use to sell their products, and the Digital Content is derived from files provided by the relevant Artist, and the relevant Artist is solely responsible for such files.

Your total price for Digital Content will include the price of the product plus any applicable sales tax; such sales tax is based on your location and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you purchase the product. We will charge tax only in states or countries where digital goods are taxable.

If you purchase an Artist Subscription, your payment for such Artist Subscription will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period, unless you cancel your Artist Subscription before the end of the current subscription period. The cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period.

Content you purchase in a Transaction cannot be guaranteed to be available to you perpetually. For example, if we receive a notification of claimed infringement from a copyright owner or its agent with respect to specific Content, then U.S. or UK or other law may require us to remove that Content from the Service and not make it available for future sale and we may also have to deny continued access to anyone who previously purchased such Content. This means that you may lose access to purchased Content previously available to you through the Service.

If we are required by law to deny access through the Service to previously purchased Content, including by removing access to Content from a user’s personal collection through any mobile application, then the Company and Artists will not provide the user who purchased that Content with a refund, except as required by applicable law. Users bear all risk from the denial of access to any Content purchased through the Service.

Because there is a possibility that we may be required to deny you access to previously purchased Content, we encourage you to promptly download any Content you purchase through the Site to your own devices so that you will retain control and possession of such Content even if we are required to remove the Content from the Service.

You warrant that if you enter into a Transaction, then you shall be able to make full and immediate payment for the requested products or services.

Fees and Payments – Artists

You will set the prices for your products and services that are charged through Transactions (the “Prices”) through the Site, and you may change the Prices at your sole discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Musjic may redistribute previously purchased copies of your products to users who have, in Musjic's sole determination, received a corrupted copy of your product, an incorrect file format version of your product, an incomplete copy of your product, or suffered a loss of your product through hard drive failure, damage, theft or destruction, on a no-fee basis to the user (i.e., the user is not charged a new fee for the redistribution). Such redistribution may be effectuated by allowing a user to re-download a replacement copy themselves. A user that has a Fan Account will also be permitted to re-download any previously purchased Content from an Artist. In the event of any of the foregoing redistributions, no additional payments shall be made to you for such redistributions.

The Company shall be entitled to a share of the revenue you receive from Transactions (the “Revenue Share”), which shall be calculated on your gross revenue from Transactions, not including any Transactions for which you or we provide a refund, in accordance with the rate schedule set forth at www.musjic.com/pricing. You shall be solely responsible and liable for, and the Company shall have no responsibility or liability for, any Stripe fees (except for fees charged on the Company’s Stripe account), PayPal fees (except for fees charged on the Company’s PayPal account), credit card transaction fees (together, “Fees”), bad debts (such as credit card returns or fraud), disputed payments, and refunds, except as provided in this Agreement.

Musjic may withhold any taxes, duties, charges or levies on payments by Musjic to you pursuant to this Agreement as may be required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Musjic shall remit any such withheld taxes, duties, charges or levies to the appropriate tax authority.

For Merchandise Transactions, payments received from users for Merchandise shall be directed to you, unless there is an outstanding Revenue Share owed to the Company in which case such payments may be directed to the Company in accordance with the Company’s standard policies. Musjic may retain funds otherwise payable to you if Musjic is required or chooses to provide a refund on your behalf.

For Digital Content, Musjic will collect the purchase price and any applicable Fees and taxes. Musjic will pay you the gross proceeds we receive from the sale of Digital Content, minus the applicable Revenue Share and any applicable Fees (the “Artist Payout”).

For Artist Subscriptions, payments received from users shall be directed to you (the “Subscription Fee”), minus the applicable Revenue Share and any applicable fees which shall be directed to Musjic at the time of each payment.

When you receive a payment for Digital Content or Artist Subscription, you are liable to Musjic for the full amount of the payment sent to you plus any Fees if the payment is later invalidated for any reason. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment sent by the sender, plus the applicable Fees if there is a chargeback, a dispute, or if there is a reversal of the payment. You agree to allow Musjic to recover any amounts due to Musjic by debiting your account or withholding any Artist Payout or Subscription Fee. If there are insufficient funds to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse Musjic through other means.

The Company retains the right, but does not have the obligation, to immediately halt the offering or sale of any goods or services, prevent or restrict access to the Site or the Services or take any other action in case of technical problems, objectionable material, inaccurate listings, or actions otherwise prohibited by the procedures and guidelines contained on the Site, or for any other reason in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, and to correct any inaccurate listing or technical problems on the Site. Company may immediately halt the offering or sale of any goods or services upon receipt of notifications of claimed infringement, upon acquiring knowledge of actual infringement, or becoming aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing material is apparent with respect to any goods or services.

Additional Fees

In addition to the fees set forth above, the Company reserves the right to require payment of fees for certain additional features of the Service, including but not limited to Musjic Pro or Label accounts. Should you elect to subscribe to such features, you shall pay all applicable fees, as described on the Site in connection with such features. The Company reserves the right to change its price list and to institute new charges at any time, upon fourteen (14) days prior notice to you, which may be sent by e-mail or posted on the Site. Use of the Service by you following such notification constitutes your acceptance of any new or increased charges.

Musjic Pro and Label Account Cancellation and Termination of Payments

If you sign up for Musjic Pro or a Label account, you may cancel your subscription at any time by going to the relevant section of your profile page and clicking “cancel Pro subscription” or “cancel Label subscription”, as applicable. Once you cancel, your Musjic Pro or Label account services will continue for the duration of the monthly billing cycle for which you have already paid. We do not issue partial refunds for unused time in a monthly billing cycle for which you have already paid, but you will not be charged for any following monthly billing cycles.

You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, authorized sub-licensees and distributors, and each of their employees, contractors, directors, suppliers and representatives, from any and all liabilities, claims, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, that arise from or relate to your use or misuse of, or access to, the Site, Service, Content or otherwise from your User Submissions, violation of these Terms of Use, or infringement by you, or any third party using the your account, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity, and for breach of any of your representations and warranties in these Terms of Use. For the avoidance of doubt, you hereby agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company from any and all claims by a third party owning, controlling or claiming any right in or to your Music, including claims for performance royalties, synchronization royalties, mechanical royalties, and use or re-use fees. Company reserves the right to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will assist and cooperate with Company in asserting any available defences at your sole expense.

Limitation of Liability.

In no event shall the Company, nor its directors, employees, agents, partners, suppliers or content providers, be liable under contract, tort, strict liability, negligence or any other legal or equitable theory with respect to the Service (i) for any lost profits, data loss, cost of procurement of substitute goods or services, or special, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever, substitute goods or services (however arising), (ii) for any bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like (regardless of the source of origination), or (iii) for any direct damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.

Because the Company is not the buyer or seller in any Merchandise Transaction, if a dispute arises between one or more participants in a Merchandise Transaction, then you release the Company (and its affiliates, agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. For example, if you are a California resident, then you waive California civil code §1542, which says: "a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favour at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." You, being aware of said code section, hereby expressly waive any rights you may have thereunder, as well as under any other statutes or common law principles of similar effect. You acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this Agreement, and that without such waiver, this Agreement would not have been entered into by the Company.

Because the Company is not the buyer or seller in any actual Merchandise Transaction between Artists and fans and is not the agent of either for any purpose, Company does not have the duty to resolve and will not be involved in resolving any disputes between participants related to or arising out of any such Merchandise Transaction. Artists are individually responsible for compliance with all consumer rights laws applicable to their Merchandise Transactions, including EU Consumer Rights Laws.

International.

Wherever you access the service geographically, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

Dispute Resolution.

A printed version of these Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You and the Company agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Service must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom and the United States of America where identified.

Integration and Severability.

These Terms of Use are the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the Service and use of the Site, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and the Company with respect to the Site. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms of Use will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.

Miscellaneous.

The Company shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond the Company’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation (including "line-noise" interference). These Terms of Use are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable or sub-licensable by you except with the Company's prior written consent. The Company may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without consent. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of these Terms of Use and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under these Terms of Use, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys' fees. All notices under these Terms of Use will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; or the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service. The captions and headings in this Agreement are intended only for convenience, and will in no event be construed to define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement, or of any provision of this Agreement, nor in any way affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
