If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified so that it is valid and enforceable while reflecting to the greatest extent possible the original intent of the parties, and the remaining provisions shall be enforced pursuant to these Terms of Use. You agree that these Terms of Use and all agreements incorporated herein may be assigned by Company, in its sole discretion, to a third party. You may not assign these Terms of Use or any agreement incorporated herein without the prior written consent of Company. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or extent of the text to which they pertain. Any use of the term “including” or variations thereof in these Terms of Use shall be construed as if followed by the phrase “without limitation.” Company’s failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive Company’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. These Terms of Use, and any additional terms or conditions set forth by Company in connection with specific services or features made available through the Platform, which are incorporated herein by reference, collectively set forth the entire understanding between you and Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you and Company have entered or enter into a separate written agreement with respect to any such specific services or features, then, solely with respect to such services or features, such separate agreement will control in the event of any irreconcilable conflict between the terms of such separate agreement and these Terms of Use. Notices to you (including notices of changes to these Terms of Use) may be made via posting to the Platform or by e-mail (including in each case via links), or by regular mail. Without limitation, 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.
  3. Jurisdictional Issues. The Platform is controlled or operated (or both) from the United States and is not intended to subject Company or any of its related legal entities, officers, directors, employees, subcontractors, agents, representatives, successors or assigns to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than the United States. Company does not represent or warrant that the Platform or any specific features or services that may be accessible through the Platform are appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Those who choose to access the Platform and the entities that such individuals represent do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for complying with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Company may limit the availability of the Platform and/or specific features or services of the Platform with respect to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we choose, at any time, in our sole discretion.
  4. Applicable Law; Arbitration. The laws of the United States (including federal arbitration law) and the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use, and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you (including the entity you represent) and/or Company and/or any User or third party making an offer(s) through the Platform arising from or related to these Terms of Use. All disputes arising out of or related to these Terms of Use or any aspect of the relationship between you and Company, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury, and you agree that you and Company are each waiving the right to trial by a jury. You agree that any arbitration under these Terms of Use will take place solely between you and Company, and not together with or on behalf of any other parties; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted, and you are agreeing to give up the ability to participate in a class action. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, as amended by these Terms of Use. The Commercial Arbitration Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org/Rules. Any in-person appearances will be held in New York County, State of New York. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the provisions of these Terms of Use and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms of Use, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
  5. Export Control Laws. You are responsible for complying with United States export controls and for any violation of such controls, including any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. You represent, warrant and covenant that you are not (a) located in, or a resident or a national of, any country subject to a U.S. government embargo or other restriction, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; (b) on any of the U.S. government lists of restricted end users.

Company will not be liable in the event of the loss of a username or password or the misuse by anyone of a username or password. It is your sole responsibility to secure and maintain your username and password and to keep current any personal or business information provided to Company. You agree that you will (1) log out and close down access to the Non-Public Portions at the end of each Non-Public Portions session; (2) immediately notify Company, by email as provided for on Company’s Contact Page, of your loss, or any unauthorized use of, your username and/or password or account, or any other breach of security; and (3) immediately change your password, if possible. You have the option to change your password as often as you wish by creating a new password. It is recommended that you change your password at least once every 60 days.
  • Deactivation of Registered Users. Company has the right to deactivate or suspend you (or restrict your access rights) as a Registered User at any time for any reason, including for the reason that (1) you are terminating your employment with your entity; (2) your Registered User account will be inactive for an extended period of time; or (3) there is reason to believe that you have violated or will violate these Terms. Upon any deactivation of your account by Company your License to the Non-Public Portions of the Platform will automatically terminate and you agree that you will cease use of the Non-Public Portions immediately.
  1. Electronic Communication and Transaction of Business. By requesting and accepting access to the Non-Public Portions (including by logging on at least one time to the Non-Public Portions), you consent to receive communications from Company electronically and to have Company communicate with you by email or by posting notices on the Non-Public Portions (subject to the Privacy Policy). You agree that all agreements, licenses, notices, disclosures and other documents and communications that Company provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such documents or communications be in writing, and that such documents and communications are of the same legal effect as though they had been provided in non-electronic (hard copy) form. You further agree that, to the extent contemplated and permitted by the Non-Public Portions, you and/or other users of the Non-Public Portions with which you are transacting business (including other Users and Company) may review, accept and enter into binding agreements, including licenses, by electronic means without the requirement of a physical signature.
  2. Submissions and Third-Party Content. The Non-Public Portions may provide Registered Users with certain functionalities to upload or transmit certain materials to the Non-Public Portions, in connection with licensing and other activities conducted through the Non-Public Portions. Subject to the provisions of the Privacy Policy, you acknowledge and agree that Company may use, reproduce, distribute, perform, publicly display, edit, encode and/or share such materials as appropriate in order to facilitate the conduct of business and provision of services through the Non-Public Portions and Company. You agree not to upload or transmit to the Non-Public Portions any content which (1) is libelous, defamatory, invasive of privacy, obscene, pornographic, abusive or threatening (it is, however, permissible to upload and reference bona fide names of songs, albums and artists); (2) violates or infringes any person’s legal rights or the legal rights of any entity, including copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets; (3) violates any law; (4) advocates any unlawful activity; (5) solicits funds, or otherwise advocates, for any entity, goods, or services; (6) contains any viruses, worms, Trojan horses, defects, time bombs, or other items of a harmful nature; (7) is inaccurate or misleading; or (8) implies or suggests that such content is endorsed by Company. You are solely responsible for any content you submit, and Company has no responsibility for any such content, including its legality, originality, reliability and/or appropriateness. You acknowledge and agree that Company has the right (but not the obligation) to monitor any submissions or materials transmitted through the Non-Public Portions, and to alter or remove any such materials, to disclose such materials to any third party in order to properly operate the Non-Public Portions and to comply with legal obligations or governmental requests. You acknowledge that Company will not return any materials you submit to Company.
  3. Changes to Related Entities. In some cases, Company may be notified of a change in the particular entities or catalogs owned or administered by, or related to, a Registered User. Company reserves the right to make appropriate changes to its Databases and ongoing licensing practices to reflect such a change in relationship. For example and without limitation, in the case where a publisher is acquired or becomes administered by another publisher that acts as a “top level” publisher (i.e., controlling entity) according to Company’s records, certain licensing authorizations of the newly acquired or administered publisher may be adjusted to reflect the licensing authorizations of the “top level” publisher, including without limitation any “opt-in” or “opt-out” authorizations of the “top level” publisher. In addition, if you become aware of any changes to any entities or catalogues owned or administered by you, you agree to promptly notify Company of such changes in writing.
