Terms of Service
Welcome to MixMatchMusic!
Please read the following important terms and conditions ("Terms of Service") carefully. MixMatchMusic, Ltd. ("MixMatchMusic") provides our website located at MixMatchMusic (the "Site") through which users can connect and collaborate with other musicians online and use any other products or services we make available via the Site (collectively, the "Services").
These Terms of Service and all policies referenced in this document or elsewhere on the Site govern your access to and use of the Site and Services. The MixMatchMusic Attribution and Royalty Policy forms part of these Term of Service and is incorporated herein by reference. These Terms of Service are a legal agreement between you and MixMatchMusic and apply to you whether you are a "MixMatchRegistered User", "MixMatchArtist" (each term as defined below), or a visitor just browsing the Site (collectively, "MixMatchMusic Users"). These Terms of Service limit MixMatchMusic's liability and obligations to you, grant us certain rights, and allow us to change, suspend or terminate your access to and use of the Site and Services.
SPECIAL NOTE TO MixMatchArtists:
- Our Royalty Policy May Change at Any Time - As part of the Services, MixMatchMusic may provide MixMatchArtists (defined below) the opportunity to participate in the MixMatchMusic Attribution and Royalty program under which they may be eligible to receive royalties as result of contributing music content to the MixMatchCommunity's library and the use thereof by other MixMatchMusic Users. Our royalty program and the related algorithm are subject to change at any time with notice, and changes could result in lower royalties (if any) or none being generated by use of your content. If upon notice of new royalty terms you decide to terminate your account or membership, please note that the new royalty program or algorithm will apply to the content you previously submitted to the MixMatchMusic system.
- Termination of Your Membership Does Not Mean Users Cannot Still Use Your Content &mdash If in accordance with Section 7, you decide to terminate your MixMatchMusic account or membership to the extent that your content has been incorporated into or used by another MixMixMatch User that content will remain in the MixMatchMusic system. MixMatchMusic Users may be relying on the fact that you made your content available for them to create new collaborative works and may continue to use your content in works they have already created prior to termination.
Do not use our Site or Services (e.g. submit content) if you are uncomfortable with these possibilities or any other terms and conditions in these Terms of Service. Please see our FAQs and MixMatchMusic's Attribution and Royalty Policy for further information.
As further described throughout this Terms of Service, as a MixMatchMusic User you must support the MixMatchMusic mission to encourage and facilitate the use and promotion of original works of authorship made by our users — that is, you may not engage our Services using content that does not belong to you or content that you do not have the right to use.
Please note that these Terms of Service do not govern your use of our affiliated website Remix Wizard. Please see the separate terms and conditions which apply to use of the Remix Wizard website and service available at Remix Wizard.
