‍
You must be at least 18 years of age and a resident of the United States to use our Platform.  By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older and reside in the United States. If you use our Platform on behalf of another person or entity, (a) all references to “you” throughout these Terms will include that person or entity, (b) you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on that person’s or entity’s behalf, and (c) in the event you or the person or entity violates these Terms, the person or entity agrees to be responsible to us. 

2.    Platform 

‍The Platform is a marketplace that enables musical artists who wish to promote their music (“Artists”) to connect with disc jockeys, influences, or other tastemakers who are looking for new music to play in the clubs in which they perform or on social media channels (“Tastemakers”).  Tastemakers will create date and time slots (“Slots”) for which they are offering Artists the ability to submit their  songs (each a “Song”) for the opportunity to have their Song  played by the Tastemaker during that Slot, in a club as determined by the Tastemaker (a “Club Slot”) or on a social media channel selected by Artist from the drop-down menu on the Platform (a “Social Media Slot”), in exchange for a fee determined by the Tastemaker or as otherwise set forth in the Platform (the “Slot Fee”).  Artists can upload their Songs to the Platform and request either a Club Slot or a Social Media Slot via the drop-down menu. The Tastemaker can then listen to the submitted Song and decide, in the Tastemaker’s sole discretion, whether to play the Song during the applicable Slot. We may, from time to time, release new features, tools, services, and resources on the Platform or modify or eliminate features, tools, services, and resources, with or without notice, all of which will be subject to these Terms of Use, as well as any additional terms and conditions that we may release for those specific services or features. For all purposes under this Agreement, (a) for Club Slots, playing at least 1 minute of the Song will constitute playing the Song, and (b) for Social Media Slots, playing the Song for the entire duration selected by Artist when the Song is submitted will constitute playing the Song.

3.    Payment of Slot Fee; Platform Fee
‍
Artist must submit payment of the Slot Fee to the Platform at the time the Song is submitted for consideration for that Slot, via the payment methods accepted on the Platform. However, such funds will not be paid to the Tastemaker until the Tastemaker accepts the bid and provides verification (as determined by the Platform in accordance with Section 4 below) that the Song was played in the designated Slot.  After verification has been made by the Tastemaker to the satisfaction of BREAKR, the Platform will pay the applicable Slot Fee, less any applicable Platform Fees (as defined below) if applicable, to the Tastemaker.  If the Tastemaker rejects the Song or accepts the Song but does not provide verification that the Song was played during the Slot within  two (2) days of the completion of such Slot (the “Verification Period”), the Slot Fee will be refunded to the Artist.  Once Artists submit a Song for consideration for a Slot, Artists may not cancel the submission, and the Artist is not entitled to a refund unless the Tastemaker does not verify, as determined by BREAKR, that the Song was played. All decisions as to the payment or withholding of the Slot Fee will be at the sole discretion of the Platform.  “Platform Fees” means the amount we deduct from the Slot Fees payable to Tastemakers.

4.    Verification  
(a) Tastemakers must provide verification within the Verification Period that the Song was played during the applicable Slot, in accordance with the method designated by BREAKR as set forth herein, which method may be changed from time to time. (b)  The method of verifying that the Tastemaker has played the Song is as follows:(i) For live shows and livestreams, the Tastemaker takes a video evidencing that the Tastemaker has played the Song (the “Verification Video”).  For live shows, the Verification Video must show the date, location and time the Song was played as well as the primary area of party where the majority of people are standing.  For livestreams, the Verification Video must show the date and duration of the livestream and the platform on which it was streamed. The Tastemaker sends the Verification Video to the Artist via the Platform(ii)  For other Social Media Slots, the Tastemaker must send the URL of the location on the social media platform on which the Song has been played to the Artist through the Platform (the “Verification URL”).(iii) The Artist reviews the Verification Video or Verification URL to determine whether it evidences that the Song was played, and must send notice of approval or rejection thereof within two (2) days of receipt thereof (the “Approval Period”), which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;(iv)  For Social Media Slots other than livestreams, once the Artist has approved the Verification URL, BREAKR will verify that the Song has been played for the designated duration.If Artist rejects the Verification Video or Verification URL, then BREAKR will review the Verification Video or Verification URL and determine whether it evidences that the Song was played (which BREAKR may determine in its sole, good faith discretion);(v) Verification occurs when the Artist or BREAKR approves the Verification Video or Verification URL, or if Artist fails to approve or reject the Verification Video or Verification URL within the Approval Period.(c) If there are any disputes as to whether verification was sufficient, the final decision as to whether the Tastemaker has provided such verification will be made by BREAKR, in its sole discretion.  If such verification is not provided within the Verification Period, the Tastemaker is not entitled to receive the Slot Fee.  

5.    Compliance with Law; FTC Endorsement Guidelines
‍
Tastemaker will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding Tastemaker’s activities in connection with the Platform.  Without limiting the foregoing, for all Social Media Slots, and for any Club Slots for which Tastemaker makes any comments regarding the Song or otherwise takes any action that might be viewed as an endorsement, Tastemaker will at all times comply with the FTC Endorsement Guidelines. This includes (a) clearly and prominently disclosing Tastemaker’s relationship with Artist and BREAKR (e.g. by stating or including the following language in connection with any Social Media Slot: “#BREAKrPartner”); and (b) ensuring that all statements by Tastemaker are accurate and reflect the honest opinions of Tastemaker.  Additional information about the FTC Endorsement Guidelines can be found in the FTC’s brochure entitled Disclosures 101 for Social Media Influencers available at https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/plain-language/1001a-influencer-guide-508_1.pdf   6.    User Accounts and

As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute.  The arbitrator, BREAKR, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision. You and BREAKR agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee (up to a maximum of $250 if you are a consumer), and BREAKR will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by BREAKR, BREAKR will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and BREAKR agree that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in Alameda County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.Any Dispute must be filed within one year after the relevant claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that you and BREAKR will not have the right to assert the claim.‍You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 19 by emailing us at support@musicbreakr.com. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration.

Further, if any part of this Section 19 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 19 will be enforceable.
