Artist Submission Agreement

JAMLEGEND ARTIST SUBMISSION AGREEMENT

YOU MUST READ AND ACCEPT THIS JAMLEGEND ARTIST SUBMISSION AGREEMENT BEFORE UPLOADING MUSIC TO JAMLEGEND.COM. THIS AGREEMENT CREATES A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN YOU AND FOO BREW, INC. ("Foo Brew"). YOU SHOULD READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE UPLOADING OR OTHERWISE PROVIDING ANY MUSIC OR ASSOCIATED CONTENT TO FOO BREW.

1. Your Acceptance
By uploading music in the form of digital file or otherwise ("Music") to Foo Brew via to the JamLegend.com website (the "Website") or by other means, the person submitting the Music ("You") agrees to the terms and conditions set forth in this JamLegend Artist Submission Agreement (this "Agreement") and to the JamLegend.com Web Site Terms and Conditions of Use (the "Terms of Service"). If You do not agree to the provisions of this Agreement and the Terms of Service, then You must not upload or provide Music or any associated content (e.g., artist names, song titles, album art, logos, text or images, etc.) ("Associated Content") to Foo Brew. The Music and Associated Content You upload or otherwise provide to Foo Brew are referred to in this Agreement as Your "Music Submission."

2. Respect of Copyright Owner Rights
Each person who uploads or otherwise supplies Music and/or Associated Content to the Website, agrees to respect the intellectual property rights of third parties and agrees not to upload Music or Associated Content for which he/she does not own or have all required licenses, rights or authorizations to upload and grant the rights set forth in this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, You normally must own or have sufficient licenses, rights or authorizations to both the sound recording that constitutes the Music and its underlying notes, arrangement and lyrics (that is, the copyrighted composition). If You are uncertain as to the scope of rights You own or have in any Music or any Associated Content, then You should not upload or provide such Music or content to Foo Brew. For example, purchasing a physical compact disc CD or a download from an on-line digital music store will typically not give You the right to upload or provide such Music to the Foo Brew or to authorize the use of the Music as described in this Agreement. In addition, You will typically need one or more written permissions from music publishers and/or other rights owners to record or provide cover recordings (that is, to provide Your recording of songs recorded by other artists). Unauthorized Music or Associated Content uploaded to the Website may be removed by Foo Brew at any time, with or without notice. You may be subject to liability for providing any unauthorized Music or Associated Content to Foo Brew. In addition, Foo Brew may terminate the JamLegend accounts of any person that provides unauthorized Music or Associated Content.

3. Grant of Rights to Foo Brew
By uploading Music and any Associated Content to the Website You hereby grant to Foo Brew an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, assignable and sublicenseable worldwide license to use, reproduce, distribute, stream, play, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise exploit the following:
  • Your Music including the sound recording and the composition; and
  • all Associated Content
all for use in connection with Foo Brew’s business including, without limitation, in any game or entertainment products or services (including services available through any network) created, licensed, offered, authorized, distributed or sold by Foo Brew now or in the future (collectively, the "JamLegend Services").

For the avoidance of doubt, and by way of example and not limitation, the rights that You grant in this Agreement include a license to:
  • Reproduce, store and use the Music and Associated Content on computer systems to facilitate its incorporation into JamLegend Services;
  • Incorporate the Music and Associated Content in the JamLegend Services;
  • Synchronize or allow others to synchronize the Music with visual images for use in the JamLegend Services and to coordinate the play and sound and video activity of the JamLegend Services (the "Game Play") with the Music;
  • Create or allow others to create music tracking data ("Game Tracks") for use in coordinating Music with Game Play in the JamLegend Services, including, without limitation, facilitation of different simulated instruments, multiple user activity, and/or different levels of Game Play;
  • Reproduce, distribute, publicly display and publicly perform the Music and Associated Content in the JamLegend Services, including, without limitation, as data reproduced, distributed to, or accessed on or by computers, gaming systems, game controller devices, networks, storage devices, and/or simulated musical instruments; and
  • Reproduce, distribute, publicly display and publicly perform the Music and Associated Content in any form of advertising or other promotional materials, in any medium selected by Foo Brew in its sole discretion.
Foo Brew may, but is not obligated, to provide attribution to You as the contributor of any Music Submission. You grant Foo Brew a nonexclusive, perpetual license to replicate, distribute, publish, create derivatives of, broadcast and use, worldwide, in any media and at any time, Your name, picture, voice, likeness, and/or biographical or other information that you may provide for promotional, attribution or other purposes related to the Music Submissions that You provide or with regard to their use in or with the JamLegend Services.

You irrevocably waive (and will cause to be waived) any claims of "moral rights" with respect to Your Music Submissions or this Agreement.

You understand that all the foregoing rights are also granted for the benefit of users of the JamLegend Services (each, a "User") and You hereby grant each User the right to use, copy, perform, and otherwise exploit Your Music Submissions consistent with the grant of rights set forth above, as Foo Brew may permit. Rights granted to Foo Brew and Users in this Agreement cover all technologies, means of distribution, and media, including those not yet invented or created.

4. Your Cooperation
You agree to be bound by instructions that Foo Brew provides or makes available to You with regard to this Agreement, including, without limitation, technical specifications and formats for provision of Music Submissions.

5. Confirmation of License Grants
Upon Foo Brew’s request, You agree to provide and/or execute any documents sought by Foo Brew to perfect, obtain, confirm or enforce its license and rights as stated in this Agreement. In addition, You hereby irrevocably appoint Foo Brew and its officers and agents as Your agents and attorneys-in-fact to act to execute legal documents on Your behalf to evidence, perfect, or enforce Foo Brew’s rights regarding any JamLegend Services.

6. Your Reservation of Rights
YOU RETAIN ALL RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE MUSIC NOT SPECIFICALLY GRANTED HEREIN. THE LICENSE GRANT SET FORTH IN SECTION 3 IS NON-EXCLUSIVE, MEANING THAT THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT LIMITS YOU RIGHT TO USE OR LICENSE TO ANY THIRD PARTY ANY OF THE RIGHTS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT GRANT FOO BREW ANY RIGHT TO RELEASE YOUR MUSIC AS STAND-ALONE FULL LENGTH AUDIO-ONLY DIGITAL FILES (FOR EXAMPLE AS MP3s OR ON A CD), PROVIDED THAT FOO BREW CAN MAKE AND DISTRIBUTE STAND-ALONE MUSIC CLIPS OF UP TO THIRTY (30) SECONDS.
