A. Licensed Music Content
The Site and our mobile application provide access to sound recordings, musical compositions, lyrics, and related metadata ("Licensed Music Content") that are owned by or licensed from third-party record labels, music publishers, distributors, and other rights holders (collectively, "Music Rights Holders"). Licensed Music Content is made available to you solely for personal, non-commercial use within the Site and our mobile application, subject to the terms and restrictions set forth herein and any additional terms required by our Music Rights Holders.
B. User-Generated Content (UGC)
The Site may allow you to create, customize, and share content that incorporates Licensed Music Content, including but not limited to personalized messages, playlists, recommendations, mood-based selections, shareable cards, and other creative expressions that pair your original text, images, or other materials with Licensed Music Content (collectively, "UGC"). You acknowledge and agree that:
- UGC is intended for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not use UGC for any commercial purpose, including but not limited to advertising, promotion, sponsorship, or monetization on any platform, without our prior written consent and, where required, the consent of the applicable Music Rights Holders.
- You may share UGC through the sharing features provided within the Site (e.g., direct messaging, sharing via the app's built-in tools). Any sharing of UGC outside of the Site's designated sharing features is prohibited unless expressly authorized. You acknowledge that once UGC is shared with a recipient, the Company cannot control whether that recipient further distributes, screenshots, or re-shares it beyond the initial share, and the Company assumes no liability for any such downstream sharing by third parties.
- You may not download, rip, capture, reproduce, or extract the audio of any Licensed Music Content from the Site or any UGC for any purpose. Screen recordings, audio recordings, or any other method of capturing Licensed Music Content in full or in part is strictly prohibited.
- You may not remove, alter, or obscure any copyright notices, watermarks, metadata, or other proprietary notices embedded in or associated with Licensed Music Content or UGC.
- You may not sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, distribute, or otherwise commercially exploit or make available to third parties any Licensed Music Content, whether in isolation or as part of UGC.
- Any previews, clips, or excerpts of Licensed Music Content made available through the Site are provided under license from the applicable Music Rights Holders. The duration, format, and availability of such previews are determined by the terms of our agreements with Music Rights Holders and may change at any time without notice.
C. License Grant for UGC
By creating and sharing UGC through the Site, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, and transmit your UGC solely for the purposes of operating, providing, improving, and promoting the Site and our services. This license does not transfer ownership of your original creative elements within the UGC. For the avoidance of doubt, this license does not grant us any additional rights to the underlying Licensed Music Content beyond those already held under our agreements with Music Rights Holders.
D. Third-Party Beneficiaries
You acknowledge and agree that Music Rights Holders are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 11 and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this section directly against you. Music Rights Holders retain all rights, title, and interest in and to their respective Licensed Music Content, including all intellectual property rights therein.
E. Takedown and Removal
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion or upon request from any Music Rights Holder, to remove, disable, or restrict access to any UGC or Licensed Music Content at any time and without prior notice. If Licensed Music Content is removed from the Site due to the expiration or termination of a license, any UGC incorporating such content may also be removed or rendered unavailable. You acknowledge that the availability of specific Licensed Music Content is subject to our ongoing agreements with Music Rights Holders and is not guaranteed.
F. Restrictions
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you expressly agree that you shall not:
- Use Licensed Music Content to train, develop, or improve any artificial intelligence, machine learning model, algorithm, or similar technology, whether for commercial or non-commercial purposes.
- Synchronize Licensed Music Content with any audiovisual content outside of the Site's intended functionality without obtaining separate synchronization licenses from the applicable Music Rights Holders.
- Broadcast, publicly perform, or publicly display Licensed Music Content in any venue, event, or platform outside of the Site, including but not limited to bars, restaurants, retail locations, livestreams, podcasts, or video platforms.
- Use Licensed Music Content in connection with any political campaign, political advertisement, or political advocacy.
- Modify, remix, sample, or create derivative works of Licensed Music Content except as expressly permitted by features within the Site.
- Circumvent or attempt to circumvent any digital rights management, content protection, or access control technology used in connection with Licensed Music Content.
G. Indemnification for UGC
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its Music Rights Holders from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (i) your use of Licensed Music Content in violation of this Section 11; (ii) any UGC you create that infringes or is alleged to infringe any third-party intellectual property or other rights; or (iii) your breach of any representation or warranty in this Section 11.
H. Termination of Music Access
Without limiting our general rights of termination under these Terms of Service, we may immediately suspend or terminate your access to Licensed Music Content and the ability to create UGC if we reasonably believe you have violated any provision of this Section 11. Upon termination, all licenses granted to you with respect to Licensed Music Content shall immediately cease, and you must promptly delete all copies of Licensed Music Content and UGC in your possession or control.
