1.         CONTENT

Site and Service Content.  The Service offers: (a) music for developers to license for certain game-related uses on either a full “buy out” or a “subject to platform publishing clearance” basis for the requested use in each case (“Licensing Music Content”) and various software tools for developers to integrate their owned or licensed music into games (“Creator Tools”). The Service contains a variety of: (i) materials and other items relating to PlusMusic, and its products and services, and similar items from our licensors and other third parties, including all layout, information, articles, posts, text, data, files, images, scripts, designs, graphics, button icons, instructions, illustrations, photographs, audio clips, music, sounds, pictures, videos, advertising copy, URLs, technology, software, interactive features, the “look and feel” of the Service, and the compilation, assembly, and arrangement of the materials of the Service and any and all copyrightable material (including source and object code of both the Service and downloadable plug-ins); (ii) trademarks, trade dress, logos, trade names, service marks, and/or trade identities of various parties, including those of PlusMusic (collectively, “Trademarks”); and (iii) other forms of intellectual property (all of the foregoing but excluding Music Content (defined below), collectively, “Content”). The Service (including past, present, and future versions) and the Content are owned or controlled by PlusMusic, our licensors and/or certain other third parties.  Subject to your compliance with these Terms, PlusMusic grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-assignable, personal, and non-transferable license to use the Service as it is presented via the Site for your personal, non-commercial use only.  The foregoing limited license: (i) does not give you any ownership of, or any other intellectual property interest in, any Content, and (ii) may be immediately suspended or terminated for any reason, in PlusMusic’s sole discretion, and without advance notice or liability.  In some instances, we may permit you to have greater access to and use of Content, subject to certain Additional Terms.

LicensingMusic Content.  PlusMusic connects musicians, game developers, and other content creators in need of a musical soundtrack. The Service is a software based platform that allows game developers and musicians to license music for use within their developed games. The Service contains a cloud-based technology platform and software that enables users such as musicians and artists (collectively, “Licensors”) of the Service to license to other users of the Service (e.g., game developers) (“Licensees”), for agreed-upon compensation, certain sound recordings (each individually, a “Master” and collectively, the “Masters”) and underlying musical compositions embodied therein (each individually, a “Composition” and collectively, the “Compositions”) for the purpose of possible embodiment (“Sample”, “Sampling”) in other derivative works such as video games (each, a “Derivative Work”). Masters, Compositions, and Derivative Works shall be collectively referred to hereunder as “Music Content”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, where applicable, one (1) or more separate agreement(s) between Licensors, on the one hand, and PlusMusic, on the other hand (each, an “Outside Agreement”), shall control the licensing of any Music Content licensed by Licensors to Licensees on the Service.  For the avoidance of doubt, PlusMusic does not grant any licenses or other rights to any users of the Service with respect to Music Content other than as specifically set forth hereunder or in any Outside Agreement, and any and all further rights shall be governed by the terms of such Outside Agreement(s), if any. For details, see License Agreements.

If you are a composer or author of a musical work and are affiliated with a PRO, then you must timely notify your PRO of any royalty-free license you grant via the Service. You are solely responsible for ensuring your compliance with the relevant PRO’s reporting obligations. If you have assigned your rights to a music publisher, then you must obtain the consent of such music publisher to grant any license via the Service or procure that such music publisher also enters into such license. Please remember that merely being the author of a musical work (e.g., the writer of a song) does not necessarily mean you have the right to grant a license for use of that song.  If you are a recording artist under contract with a record label then you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service is in compliance with any contractual obligations you may have to your record label. Finally, if you wish to perform a cover song and license it, you must notify us of all details, and you shall be solely responsible for securing all rights, in and to the underlying musical work before uploading your recording or performance of such musical work to the Service.

10.        LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES

Linked Services; Advertisements. The Service may contain links, as part of third-party ads on the Service or otherwise, to or from third-party websites (“Linked Services”), including websites operated by advertisers, licensors, licensees, recruitment services and certain other third parties who may have business relationships with PlusMusic.

12.        DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Certain portions of this Section 12 are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and PlusMusic agree that we intend that this Section 12 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.  

First – Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes.  If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to the Service, the Content, your User-Generated Content, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of PlusMusic’s actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”, which includes those actions set forth in Section 12(D), then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it.  Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us.  But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section 12(A).  Your notice to us must be sent via email to info@plusmusic.ai. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, PlusMusic and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or PlusMusic to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and PlusMusic, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.

Binding Arbitration.  If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in this Section 12 (or agree to arbitration in writing with respect to an Excluded Dispute) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND PLUSMUSIC (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT— INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT OR NEGLIGENCE,—COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY), WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS, MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION.  THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PURCHASED THROUGH THE SERVICE OR ADVERTISING AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICE.  For U.S. residents, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between PlusMusic and you regarding these Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the Service, including the “No Class Action Matters” Section below.  BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY.  PlusMusic and you agree, however, that the applicable state, federal or provincial law, as contemplated in Section 12(H) below, shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and PlusMusic regarding these Terms and the Service, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to any jurisdiction’s choice of law principles. Any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except as modified herein, and the arbitration will be administered by the AAA.  If a party properly submits the Dispute to the AAA for formal arbitration and the AAA is unwilling to set a hearing then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”) using JAMS’ streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that you and an officer or legal representative of PlusMusic consent to in writing.  If an in-person arbitration hearing is required and you are a U.S. resident, then it will be conducted in San Diego, California.  You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require PlusMusic to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 12 to be enforceable, then PlusMusic will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration.  The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will apply and be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, and will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.  All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions are for the court to decide.  This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Service.  You can obtain AAA and JAMS procedures, rules, and fee information as follows: AAA: 800.778.7879 and http://www.adr.org and JAMS: 800.352.5267 and http://www.jamsadr.com.

Limited Time to File Claims.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT A EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12(A)) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES -- OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.  Commencing means, as applicable: (a) by delivery of written notice as set forth above in this Section 12; (b) filing for arbitration as set forth in this Section 12; or (c) filing an action in state, Federal or provincial court.  

Injunctive Relief.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 12 will not apply to any legal action taken by PlusMusic to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Service, any Content, your User-Generated Content and/or PlusMusic’s intellectual property rights (including such PlusMusic may claim that may be in dispute), PlusMusic’s operations, and/or PlusMusic’s products or services.  

No Class Action Matters.  YOU AND PLUSMUSIC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION.  Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated.  But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement in this Section 12 to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to this Section 12. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this “No Class Action Matters” section), are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator.  The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.

Jurisdictional Issues.  Except where arbitration is required above or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in state or Federal court in San Diego County, California. Accordingly, you and PlusMusic consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.

Small Claims Matters Are Excluded from Arbitration Requirement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of Disputes (but not Excluded Disputes) in small claims court of competent jurisdiction.

Governing Law.  These Terms and any Additional Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with, and any Dispute and Excluded Dispute will be resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.

(a)        the Service (including the Content, Music Content and the User-Generated Content;

(b)        your use of or inability to use the Service, or the performance of the Service (including any technical inability to validate your license to use the Service in any warrant circumstances), including the potential unavailability of content you have licensed for term-limited use and is no longer available for the renewal of that or another term;

The foregoing limitations of liability will apply even if any of the foregoing events or circumstances were foreseeable and even if PlusMusic Parties were advised of or should have known of the possibility of such losses or damages, regardless of whether you bring an action based in contract, negligence, strict liability, or tort (including whether caused, in whole or in part, by negligence, acts of god, telecommunications failure, or destruction of the Service).  Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages of the sort that are described above, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.  

EXCEPT AS MAY BE PROVIDED IN ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL PLUSMUSIC PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU, FOR ALL POSSIBLE DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE AND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS, EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID PLUSMUSIC TO ACCESS THE SERVICE OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION(S) THAT UNDERLIE THE CLAIM(S); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THIS PROVISION WILL NOT APPLY IF A TRIBUNAL WITH APPLICABLE JURISDICTION FINDS SUCH TO BE UNCONSCIONABLE.  FOR PURPOSES OF CLARITY, THE PRIOR SENTENCE DOES NOT EXPAND OR LIMIT ANY EXPRESS, WRITTEN PRODUCT WARRANTY THAT IS PROVIDED BY US.

15.        UPDATES TO TERMS

These Terms (or if applicable Additional Terms), in the form posted at the time of your use of the applicable services to which it applies, shall govern such use (including transactions entered during such use).  AS OUR SERVICE EVOLVES, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH WE OFFER THE SERVICE MAY PROSPECTIVELY BE MODIFIED AND WE MAY CEASE OFFERING THE SERVICE UNDER THE TERMS OR ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR WHICH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED.  ACCORDINGLY, EACH TIME YOU SIGN IN TO OR OTHERWISE USE THE SERVICE YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW AGREEMENT WITH US ON THE THEN APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY NOTIFY YOU OF OTHER TERMS BY POSTING THEM ON THE SERVICE (OR IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT), AND THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AFTER SUCH NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR GOING FORWARD AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER TERMS FOR YOUR NEW USE AND TRANSACTIONS.  Therefore, you should review the posted terms of use and any applicable Additional Terms each time you use the Service (at least prior to each transaction or submission).  The Additional Terms will be effective as to new use and transactions as of the time that we post them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other notice to you.  However, the Terms (and any applicable Additional Terms) that applied when you previously used the Service will continue to apply to such prior use (i.e., changes and additions are prospective only) unless mutually agreed.  In the event any notice to you of new, revised or additional terms is determined by a tribunal to be insufficient, the prior agreement shall continue until sufficient notice to establish a new agreement occurs.  You should frequently check the home page and the email you associated with your Account for notices, and you agree that the means set forth in these Terms are all reasonable manners of providing you with notice.  You can reject any new, revised or Additional Terms by discontinuing use of the Service and related services.

16.        GENERAL PROVISIONS

Indemnity.  You agree to, and you hereby, defend, indemnify, and hold PlusMusic Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements, interest, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that directly or indirectly arise from or are related to any claim, suit, action, demand, or proceeding made or brought against any PlusMusic Party, or on account of the investigation, defense, or settlement thereof, arising out of or in connection with, whether occurring heretofore or hereafter: (i) your Music Content and User-Generated Content; (ii) your use of the Service and your activities in connection with the Service; (iii) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms or any Additional Terms; (iv) your violation or alleged violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances, or orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities in connection with your use of the Service or your activities in connection with the Service; (v) information or material transmitted through your Device, even if not submitted by you, that infringes, violates, or misappropriates any copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress, patent, publicity, privacy, or other right of any person or entity; (vi) any misrepresentation made by you; and (vii) PlusMusic Parties’ use of the information or content that you submit to us (including your User-Generated Content and Music Content) (all of the foregoing, “Claims and Losses”).  You will cooperate as fully required by PlusMusic Parties in the defense of any Claims and Losses.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, PlusMusic Parties retain the exclusive right to settle, compromise, and pay any and all Claims and Losses.  PlusMusic Parties reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any Claims and Losses.  You will not settle any Claims and Losses without, in each instance, the prior written consent of an officer of a PlusMusic Party.

Severability; Interpretation.  If any provision of these Terms, or any Additional Terms, is for any reason deemed invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms or the Additional Terms, and the invalidity of the provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of these Terms or the Additional Terms (which will remain in full force and effect).  To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to waive, and you hereby waive, any applicable statutory and common law that may permit a contract to be construed against its drafter.  Wherever the word “including” is used in these Terms or any Additional Terms, the word will be deemed to mean “including, without limitation”.  The summaries of provisions and section headings are provided for convenience only and shall not limit the full Terms.

Communications.  As permitted by applicable law, when you communicate with us electronically, such as via email and text message, you consent to receive communications from us electronically.  Please note that we are not obligated to respond to inquiries that we receive.  You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.  

Investigations; Cooperation with Law Enforcement; Termination; Survival.  PlusMusic reserves the right, without limitation, to: (i) investigate any suspected breaches of its Service security or its information technology or other systems or networks, (ii) investigate any suspected breaches of these Terms and any Additional Terms, (iii) investigate any information obtained by PlusMusic in connection with reviewing law enforcement databases or complying with criminal laws, (iv) involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating any of the foregoing matters, (v) prosecute violators of these Terms and any Additional Terms, and (vi) discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, or, except as may be expressly set forth in any Additional Terms, suspend or terminate your access to it, in whole or in part, including any user accounts or registrations, at any time, without notice, for any reason and without any obligation to you or any third party.   Any suspension or termination will not affect your obligations to PlusMusic under these Terms or any Additional Terms.  Upon suspension or termination of your access to the Service, or upon notice from PlusMusic, all rights granted to you under these Terms or any Additional Terms will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately discontinue use of the Service.  The provisions of these Terms and any Additional Terms (including the terms applicable to Music Content and User-Generated Content), which by their nature should survive your suspension or termination will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to PlusMusic in these Terms, as well as the indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations on liability and the provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, and mandatory arbitration.

Assignment.  These Terms and any Additional Terms may not be assigned by you, and you may not delegate your duties under them, without the prior written consent of an officer of PlusMusic.  

No Waiver.  Except as expressly set forth in these Terms or any Additional Terms: (i) no failure or delay by you or PlusMusic in exercising any of rights, powers, or remedies hereunder will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy, and (ii) no waiver or modification of any term of these Terms or any Additional Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.  For avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be construed to restrict PlusMusic’s right to amend these Terms or any Additional Terms as otherwise permitted in those agreements.
