AGREEMENT ON TERMS & CONDITIONS OF USE

 

This Agreement on Terms & Conditions of Use (“Agreement”) is effective as of the date on which User (as defined below) indicates User’s acceptance of this Agreement, and is made by and between User (herein “User” or “you”) and Spinacity LLC, dba “Spinacity.com” (“SPINACITY™”), a Florida USA limited liability company with its principal place of business in Margate, Florida, USA.  SPINACITY™ and you are sometimes referred to below as “party” or “parties” to this Agreement. All Terms and Conditions set forth herein, in our Privacy Policy and/or in other Legal Notices and documents elsewhere within the SPINACITY™ web domain, are expressly made a part hereof, and are hereby incorporated by reference.

 

 

WHAT DOES OUR PLATFORM DO?

Spinacity.com (sometimes called the “Website” or “Site” below) permits Users, especially new musical composers and artists, to view the profiles, performance dates and locations of Disc Jockeys (“DJs) and Social Influencers (“Influencers”) with whom the Website works and who have registered on our Platform. DJs and Influencers register with us to allow Artists to consider each DJ and Influencers potential value as an outlet for the Artist’s Musical Material (as defined below). If a DJ or Influencer selects and accepts the Artist’s Musical Material for one or more of the DJ’s or Influencers performances through our Site, the DJ, Influencer and Artist may separately enter into an agreement on such terms and conditions as may be agreed to between them or may utilize the Form Performance Agreement (“Performance Agreement”) found elsewhere on our Site. Every Performance Agreement – whether or not it utilizes the Form on our Site -- should contain (a) a description of the Musical Material; (b) the date or dates and venues/distribution methods at which the DJ or Influencer has agreed to perform the Musical Material; (c) payment terms, and (d) any other terms and conditions as communicated between the DJ, Influencer and the Artist. Each party to the Performance Agreement acknowledges and agrees that it is contractually obligated to the other party and not Spinacity™, and that Spinacity™ is not a party to and will in no way be responsible for the performance of either the Artist or the DJ/Influencer under the Performance Agreement, except for facilitating the transmission of payment from the Artist to the DJ or Influencer in accordance with this Agreement. Spinacity™ does not make any representations or warranties of any kind in respect of a Performance Agreement. Both parties to the Performance Agreement also agree to act in good faith when negotiating and performing their obligations under each Performance Agreement.

 

[PLEASE NOTE:

There are three (4) different “User” categories on SPINACITY™ that involve certain separate registration procedures and/or separate terms and conditions: (1) Visitors; (2) Artists; (3) DJs (4) Social Influencers. This Agreement outlines the understandings and contractual commitments between SPINACITY™ and each of the three types of Users. It does not govern the understandings and contractual commitments that may be made between Artists, DJs and Influencers. SPINACITY™ may supplement this Agreement with posted guidelines or rules applicable to specific areas of the SPINACITY™ Website(s) or to one or more of the above-described User categories. In addition, SPINACITY™ may offer other services that are not governed by this Agreement, but rather by the terms of service of our respective service partners. SPINACITY™ reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time. Except where the context requires otherwise, the term “User,” as used in this Agreement, means any one or more of the above-described User categories, whether collectively or individually.]

 

ARTISTS POSTING MUSICAL MATERIAL TO SPINACITY™

 

The Spinacity™ Platform permits subscribing Artists who register with us to post their Musical Material and view the Profiles of DJs & Influencers who have registered on our Platform and have chosen to allow Artists to view their Profiles. If a DJ or Influencer selects a particular Artist’s work through our Website, the DJ, Influencer and Artist may separately enter into a Performance Agreement on such terms and conditions as may be agreed to between the DJ, Influencer and the Artist. Every Performance Agreement must contain (a) a description of the services the DJ/Influencer will provide to the Artist, (b) payment terms, and (c) any other terms and conditions as communicated between DJ/Influencer and Artist through this Platform or otherwise. Both the DJ/Influencer and the Artist understand that they will be the parties to the Performance Agreement, and that Spinacity™ is not a party to and will in no way be responsible for the performance of either the DJ, Influencer or the Artist under any Performance Agreement, except for facilitating the transmission of payment from one party to the other on their instructions in accordance with these Terms of Use. Artist further understands and agrees that any content submitted through the Platform pursuant to a Performance Agreement and accepted by a DJ or Influencer shall remain publicly accessible on our Platform for a minimum of six (6) months after the Performance Agreement is finalized, or such greater term as specified in the Performance Agreement. Spinacity™ does not make any representations or warranties of any kind in respect of a Performance Agreement. Artist also agrees to act in good faith when negotiating and performing Artist’s obligations under each Performance Agreement.

 

You, the Artist, hereby agree to pay to Spinacity™ a fee equal to 50% percent (50%) of the fee agreed to between the Artist and the DJ or Influencer (the “Performance Fee”), or, if no amounts are payable by you in connection with a Performance Agreement, you shall pay to Spinacity™ an amount as determined by the then current fee schedule found on our Website (the “Fee”).  You, the Artist, hereby agree that at no time will you enter into an agreement with, or make any payment to, a DJ, and Influencer or other party that has been introduced to you by or through our Website without utilizing the Spinacity™ Platform as the payment conduit for all payments you may make. If you make any payments in connection with a Performance Agreement other than through the Platform, you shall pay to Spinacity™ the Fee within fifteen (15) days of such payment. You will pay Spinacity™ the Fee even if you the DJ or Influencer fails fully or partially to perform under the Performance Agreement. Ordinarily, Spinacity™ will facilitate the transmission of payments from the Artist to the DJ, Influencer (or vice versa) in connection with a Performance Agreement (“Facilitated Payment”). You hereby authorize Spinacity™ to deduct our Fee from any such Performance Fee or Facilitated Payment prior to transferring the remaining funds to the other party on your instructions. You agree that Spinacity™ is not a trustee or fiduciary in respect of any Performance Fee, Facilitated Payments or any Performance Agreement. Spinacity™ reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to place a hold on your Performance Fee or Facilitated Payment if Spinacity™ determines that the funds may be subject to a breach of applicable law (e.g., fraud, money-laundering or “payola”), or if Spinacity™ is required to do so in order to cooperate with law enforcement.

 

Artists will be permitted to post musical works and other intellectual property within the SPINACITY™ Website for the purpose of promoting to DJs/Influencers any and all merchandise, materials, services, information, music, audio or video files, or any other images, photographs, materials, or content (collectively, “Musical Material”) that the Artist may post, upload or otherwise make available within the SPINACITY™ web domain. The Artist does hereby represent and warrant to SPINACITY™, with the intent that SPINACITY™ rely on such representation and warranty, that all such Musical Material and each and every element thereof -- including without limitation musical arrangements, titles, lyrics, melodies and/or any recordings thereof – is owned, controlled, or has been acquired to the extent such rights (including but not limited to copyrights) may be necessary to permit the use of such Musical Material as contemplated on the SPINACITY™ Website.  The Artist shall be solely responsible for the Artist’s own Musical Material and the consequences of posting or publishing it. In connection with Musical Material, the Artist affirms, represents, and warrants that the Artist owns or has the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize SPINACITY™ to use all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to any and all such Musical Material and to enable inclusion and use of the Musical Material in the manner contemplated by the SPINACITY™ Site and this Agreement. Artist further represents and warrants that the posting and/or exhibition and/or performance of such Musical Material by a DJ or Influencer does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, intellectual property rights, contract rights or any other rights of any person or entity.  As among the Artist, our DJs, our Influencers and SPINACITY™, Artist agrees to pay and be responsible for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing to any person or entity by reason of any Musical Material posted by Artist and/or exhibited and/or performed on or through the SPINACITY™ Website or under a Performance Agreement.. Artist grants to SPINACITY™, without charge, the rights necessary for SPINACITY™ to include such Musical Material on our Website and to use such Musical Material as needed to communicate the Artist’s work to our DJs and Influencers.

 

This limited license does not grant SPINACITY™ or its DJs and Influencers the right to sell, exploit or otherwise distribute Artist’s Musical Material in the absence of a Performance Agreement between the Artist and a DJ or Influencer participating on the SPINACITY™ Website. The above license granted by Artist will terminate within a commercially reasonable time after Artist removes or deletes Artist’s Musical Material from the SPINACITY™ Site. Artist understands and agrees, however, that SPINACITY™ may retain for a commercially reasonable time, but not display, distribute, or perform, server copies of Musical Material that has been removed or deleted.

 

SPINACITY™ does not permit copyright infringing activities and/or infringement of any other intellectual property rights on our Website, and Artist agrees that SPINACITY™ has authority under this Agreement to remove any or all of Artist’s Musical Material if properly notified that exhibition, display and/or performance of such Musical Material (or any portion thereof) infringes on a third party’s intellectual property rights. SPINACITY™ reserves the right to remove Musical Material without prior notice. Artist hereby represents and warrants that Artist owns and/or controls all rights necessary to provide said Musical Material to SPINACITY™ for display, performance and/or exhibition within the SPINACITY™ Website. If Artist wishes to perform Artist’s music on the SPINACITY™ Website, Artist must – and, by posting Musical Material on the SPINACITY™ Website, Artist warrants that Artist does -- own the rights necessary to display, exhibit and perform said Musical Material, both as to the sound recording (including without limitation such rights in all performances embodied in the sound recording) and the musical composition (the music and lyrics as originally composed by the composer(s)) or has the express written and signed authorization of each person who does own those rights. For example, if Artist wishes to post a song written by another individual, Artist may not do so without the songwriter’s written and signed permission. Similarly, if Artist wishes to post a sound recording owned by another individual or entity (for example, a music label), Artist may not do so without the owner’s written and signed permission. Artist must own or lawfully control all trademark rights and publicity rights of third parties depicted in any and all Musical Material that Artist posts on the SPINACITY™ Website. Artist also agrees that nothing in any Performance Agreement between the Artist and a DJ or Influencer (or another person introduced to the Artist on or through our Website) will or may violate any provision of law making unlawful so-called “Payola” arrangements between the owner of Musical Material and any individual or entity subject to such laws.

 

Since binding contracts may only be entered into by adults, minors (in most jurisdictions, persons under the age of eighteen (18)) may not post Musical Material to the SPINACITY™ Site without the written, signed permission of a parent or guardian.  Artist (or, as appropriate, Artist’s parent or legal guardian) is solely and completely responsible for all activities of Artist undertaken within the SPINACITY™ web domain, including but not limited to any and all content provided by Artist, any and all comments of Artist, and any other activities of Artist within the SPINACITY™ Website.  Artist hereby agrees and acknowledges that Artist is absolutely prohibited from violating or infringing upon the publicity rights, privacy rights, copyright, trademark rights, intellectual property rights, or any other rights of any kind, of any third parties, of any Visitor, or of any other user of the SPINACITY™ Website.

Neither you, nor any other User of this Website, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, representative, consolidated or private attorney general proceeding.

 

Arbitration Agreement/Limitation of Procedural Rights

 

You understand and agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and SPINACITY™ are each agreeing to arbitration instead of the right to a trial before a judge or jury in a public court (“Arbitration Agreement”). In the absence of this Arbitration Agreement, you and SPINACITY™ might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided herein, you give up those rights. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited in arbitration. The right to appellate review of an arbitrator’s decision is much more limited than in court, and in general an arbitrator’s decision may not be appealed for errors of fact or law.

 

In the event a dispute arises between User and SPINACITY™, SPINACITY™ and User agree to pursue neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly.  Accordingly, User and SPINACITY™ agree that any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement, the SPINACITY™ Website, or SPINACITY’s other services shall be resolved in accordance with one of the provisions herein or as otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties.  Before resorting to these alternatives, SPINACITY™ strongly encourages you to first contact SPINACITY™ directly to seek a resolution, and the parties hereby agree to use alternative forms of dispute resolution, including non-binding mediation and/or binding arbitration to be held in or as near as possible to Miami-Dade County, Florida, U.S.A.

This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, with the surviving provisions being interpreted so as fully as possible to effect the original intentions of the parties to this Agreement. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and SPINACITY’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. SPINACITY™ reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time and without notice, and it is your responsibility to review this Agreement regularly for any such changes. Your use of the SPINACITY™ Website in any manner following any amendment of this Agreement will signify your assent to and acceptance of its revised terms. YOU AND SPINACITY™ AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SPINACITY™ WEBSITE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
