This Service will continue for a period of one year, which unless terminated by
either party as provided below, automatically shall renew for successive annual
periods (the "Term"). During the Term, you shall be afforded with the use and
benefit of those Service features described on our website, which may be revised
by us from time to time as provided below (the "Service Benefits"). Due to
technical considerations, certain Service Benefits may not be available to you
immediately upon commencement of the Term, but shall be provided to you as soon
as commercially reasonable. Please direct any questions about the Service or
Service Benefits to us by email at: labels@nciaa.org . In addition to the terms of
this Agreement, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions included in the
User Agreement, including but not limited to, agreeing not to use this site for
any unlawful purpose, and to the terms and conditions of our Privacy
Policy.
2. Accuracy and Posting of Information and
Materials
As further consideration for these
service(s), you agree to: (1) provide certain current, complete and accurate
information about you as required by the application process; and (2) maintain
and update this information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate.
You also grant to NCIAA the limited right to enter into an agreement with a
third-party on your behalf, only to the extent necessary and solely for the
purpose, to enable NCIAA to perform its services and carry out its obligations
under the then current Services Agreement between you and NCIAA as described on
our Web site and in this Services Agreement regarding the uploading and posting
of your Materials to our Internet music distribution site.
3. Ownership of
Materials
You shall retain full ownership of
your materials, which may include, but are not limited to: sound recordings,
musical compositions and/or vocal works, pictures, videos, song lyrics, album
and other artwork, liner notes and other related materials (Materials) at all
times, while granting to NCIAA the non-exclusive rights and licenses set forth
in this Agreement. By accepting this Agreement and/or submitting your Materials,
you are guaranteeing to NCIAA that
you are of legal age to enter into contracts in your jurisdiction (and in any
event you have reached 18 years of age) and have all rights, approvals and/or
consents necessary to submit your Materials on the terms provided herein. You
also guarantee that no permission is required from any other individual or
company for the use of your Materials and other rights provided herein. You
further guarantee to NCIAA that the
compositions, recordings, lyrics, artwork and other materials contained in your
Materials are original, created solely by you (or you own them as a result of
your purchase of all rights therein and thereto from the lawful owner), do not
contain any "samples" or excerpts from any copyrighted material or the material
of others, and do not otherwise infringe on the rights of any other individuals
or companies. You also guarantee that the content of your Materials does not and
will not violate any other applicable laws, including without limitation those
pertaining to defamation, libel or obscenity. Lastly, you guarantee to NCIAA
that your Materials do not contain and will not produce any "viruses" or other
information that may damage or otherwise interfere with our computer systems or
data or that of our customers. You shall be fully responsible for any violation
of your agreements including the guarantees made to NCIAA under this paragraph
and you shall indemnify NCIAA and its customers from any damages and costs,
including reasonable attorney's fees, arising from your breach. You shall sign
and deliver to NCIAA any additional documents that NCIAA may request to confirm
NCIAA's rights under this Agreement. If you believe that your Materials have
been copied and are accessible on this site in a way that constitutes copyright
infringement, you may notify NCIAA at Legal@nciaa.org.
4.
Termination
You may terminate this Agreement by
notifying us at any time by email to: Labels@nciaa.org. and NCIAA will remove
all of your Materials from our site and database within a business reasonable
period of time, upon receipt of your written request for such removal and your
access to the Service Benefits shall terminate immediately upon such receipt.
NCIAA will not be responsible for any copies of your Materials that may have
been disseminated before we actually remove your recordings from our system. We
shall not refund any portion of the Subscription Fee you have paid or agreed to
pay, unless you are requesting termination under the terms and conditions
defined in Modifications to Agreement below. If we offer a Payment Plan and
you have chosen to pay for our Service by participating in our Payment Plan (see
Subscription Fees), any remaining balance owed to us will be billed in total,
to your credit card, immediately upon receipt of your written termination
request. We may terminate this Agreement at any time by so notifying you,
effective as of your actual receipt of such notice or after sending notice of
termination to the email address you supply to us, whichever is sooner. In the
event we terminate this Agreement due to your failure to meet the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, our User Agreement or our Privacy Policy, we shall
not refund any portion of the Subscription Fee and, if you have chosen to
participate in the Payment Plan offered for this Service, will immediately bill,
in total, any remaining balance owed to us to the credit card account you
provided. If we choose to terminate this Agreement for reasons not related to
you, we will refund to you the portion of the Subscription Fee for which we have
not yet performed service.
5. Subscription
Fees
As consideration for the services
you have selected, you agree to pay NCIAA the applicable service(s) fees set
forth on our Web site at the time you elect to subscribe to this Service or any
other NCIAA service. All fees are due immediately pursuant to the payment option
you choose and are non-refundable, subject to the above paragraph titled
Termination of this Agreement. NCIAA may take all remedies available to
collect fees owed. Any renewal of your services with us is subject to our then
current terms and conditions and payment of all applicable service fees at the
time of renewal. By providing credit card billing information, you shall be
authorizing us to charge that credit card until the termination of this
Agreement. We have the right to immediately discontinue your ability to use the
Service if we do not receive payment when due. Regardless of the method of
payment, it is your responsibility to advise us of any billing problems or
discrepancies within thirty (30) days after such discrepancies or problems
become known. Your credit card issuer agreement governs the use of your
designated credit card account in connection with the Service, and you must
refer to that agreement and not this Agreement to determine your rights and
liabilities as a cardholder.
6. Modifications to
Agreement
Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, you agree, during the term of this Agreement, that we may: (1) revise
the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and/or (2) change part of the
services provided under this Agreement at any time. Any such revision or change
will be binding and effective immediately upon posting of the revised Agreement
or change to the service(s) on the NCIAA Web site, or upon notification to you
by e-mail or United
States mail. You agree to periodically
review our Web site, including the current version of this Agreement available
on our Web site, to be aware of any such revisions. If you do not agree with any
revision to the Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement at any time by
providing us with notice by e-mail. Notice of your termination will be effective
on receipt and processing by us. If you choose to terminate service with us due
to a modification to our subscription agreement, any fees paid by you to us for
which service has already been provided will not be refunded. However, if you
have paid for services that have not been fulfilled at the time we receive your
request for termination and your request is due solely to a modification in our
subscription agreement, we will refund to you the portion of payment for which
we have not yet performed service. We will not provide refunds to you for any
reason other than a modification we have made to our Subscription Agreement. By
continuing to use this Service after any revision to this Agreement or change in
service(s), you agree to abide by and be bound by any such revisions or changes.
We are not bound by nor should you rely on any representation by (i) any agent,
representative or employee of any third party that you might use to apply for
our services; or in (ii) information posted on our Web site of a general
informational nature.
7. Modifications to Your
Account
In order to change any of your
account information, you must use the User Name and the Password that you
selected when you registered as a NCIAA Label Member. Please safeguard your User
Name and Password from any unauthorized use. In no event will we be liable for
the unauthorized use or misuse of your User Name and
Password.
8. Breach
You agree that your failure to abide
by any provision of this Agreement, any NCIAA operating rule or policy, the
dispute policy, or your willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable
information as part of the application process, or your failure to update your
information to keep it current, complete or accurate, or your failure to respond
for over thirty (30) calendar days to inquiries from us concerning the accuracy
of the contact details associated with your account information may be
considered by us to be a material breach and that we may provide a written
notice, describing the breach, to you. If within ten (10) calendar days of the
date of such notice, you fail to provide evidence, which is reasonably
satisfactory to us, that you have not breached your obligations under the
Agreement, we may then terminate all NCIAA' service(s) you are using without
further notice. We will not refund any fees paid by you if we terminate your
Agreement due to your breach. Any such breach by you shall not be deemed to be
excused simply because we did not act earlier in response to that, or any other
breach, by you.
9.
Severability
You agree that the terms of this
Agreement are severable. If any term or provision is declared invalid or
unenforceable, that term or provision will be construed consistent with
applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the
parties, and the remaining terms and provisions will remain in full force and
effect.
10. Entire
Agreement
You agree that this Agreement, the
rules and policies published by us, the User Agreement and the Privacy Policy
are the complete and exclusive agreement between you and us regarding our
services. This Agreement, our rules and policies, the User Agreement and the
Privacy Policy supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether
established by custom, practice, policy or precedent.
11. Transfer and
Assignment
Your rights under this Agreement are
not assignable and any attempt by your creditors to obtain an interest in your
rights under this Agreement, whether by attachment, levy, garnishment or
otherwise, renders this Agreement voidable at our option.
12. Agreement to be
Bound
By applying for a NCIAA-TrakHeadz
Label Membership service(s) or by using the service(s) provided by the TrakHeadz
Program under this Subscription Agreement and our User Agreement, you
acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions
of both agreements and any pertinent rules or policies that are or may be
published by NCIAA.
