BEFORE READING FURTHER, PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:

Sections 4, 5 and 6 of these Terms and Conditions of Use can be confusing and we apologize for the legalese that is used. But the bottom line is that at no time will either MP3Waxx.com or a user have any rights to sell or commercialize your music. When you publish a music file to the Web Site, you have two choices. You can make the file available for listening only or you can allow others to download and copy the file. If you chose the first option, users can only listen to the music file. No other rights are transferred to us or to users. We can not sell or distribute the music file, or make it available for any commercial purpose without your permission. The only thing we can do with the music file is allow users to play it on our Web Site or inside of Widgets that are available from the Web Site (the Widget can be located on our Web Site or another web site). If you chose the second option, a user can download and store the music file without charge. The user will then forever have the right to play the file for his or her personal enjoyment. This is very similar to downloading a song from iTunes. Although the user can play the file, the user can not sell, distribute or commercialize the music file in any way. This is the intent of the Usage Rules in Section 6. No matter which option you chose, at no time are we or a user entitled to sell your music or use it for any commercial purposes and you still retain all rights to commercialize your music.

4. LICENSE TO CONTENT (EXCEPT MUSIC FILES AVAILABLE FOR COPYING BY OTHER USERS). By Publishing Content (except your audio or music files that you allow others to download and copy) to any part of the Web Site, you automatically grant to the Company, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant to the Company, a non-exclusive, transferable, fully-paid, worldwide license (with the rights to sublicense) to use, copy, perform, display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such Content and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. This license includes without limitation any and all professional names, photos, trademarks, logos and biographical information of artists, performers or bands. You may remove such Content from the Web Site at any time and the license granted above will automatically terminate.

5. LICENSE TO MUSIC FILES AVAILABLE FOR COPYING BY OTHER USERS. The Web Site includes Services where you may publish music files and allow other users to download and copy such files. If you use the Services to allow other users to copy, perform and use your music files, you automatically grant to the Company and other users, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant to the Company and other users, an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully-paid, worldwide license (with the rights to sublicense) to use, copy, perform, display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such files and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such files; provided, however that in all events other users’ rights with respect to such files will be subject to the Usage Rules set forth in Section 6 below. You may remove such files from the Web Site at any time and the license granted above to such music files will survive such removal. However, we will not continue to publish or make available on the Web Site content you have removed from the site.

THE FOREGOING GRANT OF RIGHTS IN SECTIONS 4 AND 5 INCLUDES PUBLIC PERFORMANCE RIGHTS. PUBLIC PERFORMANCE RIGHTS INCLUDE THE RIGHTS TO PLAY YOUR SONGS IN PUBLIC VENUES SUCH AS RESTAURANTS, CAFES, PARKS AND STORES. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY GRANTED YOUR PUBLIC PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO A PERFORMANCE RIGHTS ORGANIZATION (“PRO”) SUCH AS BMI, ASCAP OR SESAC, THEN (1) YOU MAY BE PROHIBITED FROM GRANTING THE SAME RIGHTS TO US, OR (2) A GRANT OF PUBLIC PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO US MAY PREVENT A PRO FROM COLLECTING ROYALTIES ON YOUR BEHALF. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS A PRO MAY REQUIRE THAT AN ARTIST PROVIDE THE PRO WITH NOTICE IF THE ARTIST IS GRANTING PUBLIC PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO ANOTHER PARTY. IF YOU HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH A PRO, WHICH INCLUDES SUCH A PROVISION, YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING SUCH NOTICE TO THE PRO.

6. USE OF WEB SITE AND SERVICES. You understand that the Services and the Web Site are available for your personal use only. Your use of any Services that provide for or facilitate commercial transactions may be subject to additional terms and conditions. Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Services, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals.
You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties. You agree that we shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings. If there is a dispute between you and any third party, you understand and agree that we are under no obligation to become involved.

consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such dispute and / or our Services. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

In the event that you provide any content (i.e., recordings, compositions, etc.) in response to any contest, request, solicitation or other offering (a “Solicitation”) that is made available by a third party through the Site, any license, assignment or transfer of rights in and to such content to the third party is solely between you and the third party; provided, however, that in the event you provide a remix in response to a Solicitation, you hereby assign all rights, title and interest in and to such remix to the third party that is providing the Solicitation.
