Terms of Service

Effective June 22, 2022

These Modern Musician Terms of Service (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Modern Musician LLC (“Modern Musician”) and the entity or person placing an Order for or accessing the Services (“Customer” or “you”).

This Agreement consists of the terms and conditions set forth below and any Orders. Certain capitalized terms are defined in Section 19 (Definitions) and others are defined contextually in this Agreement. If you are accessing or using the Services on behalf of your company, you represent that you are authorized to accept this Agreement on behalf of your company, and all references to “you” reference your company.

The “Effective Date” of this Agreement is the date which is the earlier of (a) Customer’s initial access to the Services through any online provisioning, registration or order process or (b) the effective date of the first Order. Modern Musician may modify this Agreement from time to time as permitted in Section 17 (Modifications to Agreement).

By indicating your acceptance of this Agreement or accessing or using the Services, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each party expressly agrees that this Agreement is legally binding upon it.

1. Overview. Modern Musician provides Services that help customers integrate, manage and control their data as described below. Services also include courses, coaching & mentorship programs. Customer’s Order will identify the Services it may use.

v Connections. Connections acts as a central hub, allowing Customer to collect Customer Data from sources (“Sources”) and send it to destinations (“Destinations”) for Customer’s further use. Sources and Destinations are described in the Documentation and may include Customer’s own websites, apps or properties or its accounts with third-party services. As described in the Documentation, Customer selects its Sources and Destinations and the Customer Data it wishes to exchange between its Sources and Destinations.

v Additional Services. Modern Musician offers additional Services and optional features that may be used with Connections. These Services and features are subject to this Agreement and, if specified in an Order, Supplemental Terms.

2. Use of Services.

2.1. Permitted Use. **During the Subscription Term, Customer may access and use the Services only for its internal business purposes in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement, including any usage limits in an Order. This includes the right to copy and use Modern Musician Code to enable Sources and Destinations as described in the Documentation.

2.2. Users. **Only Users may access or use the Services. Each User must keep its login credentials confidential and not share them with anyone else. Customer is responsible for its Users’ compliance with this Agreement and actions taken through their accounts (excluding misuse of accounts directly caused by Modern Musician’s breach of this Agreement). Customer will promptly notify Modern Musician if it becomes aware of any compromise of its User login credentials.

2.3. Restrictions. Customer will not (and will not permit anyone else to) do any of the following: (a) provide access to, distribute, sell or sublicense the Services to a third party, (b) use the Services on behalf of, or to provide any product or service to, third parties (but this does not prohibit Customer’s use of the Services with its Sources and Destinations as permitted in this Agreement), (c) use the Services to develop a similar or competing product or service, (d) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or seek to access the source code or non-public APIs to the Services, except to the extent expressly permitted by Law (and then only with prior notice to Modern Musician), (e) modify or create derivative works of the Services or copy any element of the Services (other than authorized copies of the Modern Musician Code), (f) remove or obscure any proprietary notices in the Services, (g) publish benchmarks or performance information about the Services or (h) use the Services in violation of the AUP.

3. Sources and Destinations. Customer is responsible for selecting and configuring its Sources and Destinations, for any other third-party products it chooses to use with the Services and for any exchange of Customer Data it enables through the Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Modern Musician is not responsible for any Sources, Destinations or other third-party products used by Customer with the Services, their code or technology, or how the providers use or protect Customer Data. Customer’s use of any third-party Sources, Destinations or other products is subject to its separate agreement with the provider.

4. Customer Data.

4.1. Data Use. Customer grants Modern Musician the non-exclusive, worldwide right to use, copy, store, transmit, display, modify and create derivative works of Customer Data, but only as necessary to provide the Services and any related Modern Musician services and support to Customer under this Agreement.

Customer represents and warrants that it has made all disclosures and has all rights, consents and permissions necessary to use its Customer Data with the Services and grant Modern Musician the rights in Section 4.1 (Data Use), all without violating or infringing Laws, third-party rights (including intellectual property, publicity or privacy rights) or any terms or privacy policies that apply to Customer’s Sources, Destinations, or Customer Data.

5.2. Prohibited Uses. Customer must not use the Services with Prohibited Data or for High Risk Activities. Customer acknowledges that the Services are not intended to meet any legal obligations for these uses, including HIPAA requirements, and that Modern Musician is not a Business Associate as defined under HIPAA. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Modern Musician has no liability for Prohibited Data or use of the Services for High Risk Activities. These obligations apply regardless of any Modern Musician features that help Customer identify or block Prohibited Data.

6. Suspension of Services. Modern Musician may suspend Customer’s access to the Services and related services if Customer breaches Section 2 (Use of Services) or Section 5 (Customer Obligations), if Customer’s account is 30 days or more overdue, to prevent harm to other customers or third parties or to preserve the security, availability or integrity of the Services. Where practicable, Modern Musician will use reasonable efforts to provide Customer with prior notice of the suspension (email sufficing). Once the issue requiring suspension is resolved, Modern Musician will promptly restore Customer’s access to the Services in accordance with this Agreement.

7. Commercial Terms.

7.1. Subscription Term. Unless the Order provides otherwise, each Subscription Term will renew for successive 1-month periods (“Renewal Terms”) unless either party gives the other party notice of non-renewal at least 7 days before the current Subscription Term ends.

7.2. Fees. Fees are as described in each Order and, unless the Order provides otherwise, invoices are due on the invoice date. Modern Musician reserves the right to increase the rates specified in the Order for Renewal Terms. Late payments are subject to a service charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by Law, whichever is less. All fees and expenses are non-refundable except as set out in Section 9.2 (Termination) or Section 17.1 (Modifications to Agreement).

7.3. Taxes. Modern Musician’s fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes in any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its Orders, other than taxes assessable against Modern Musician based on Modern Musician’s net income, property and employees. If any deduction or withholding is required by Law, Customer will notify Modern Musician and pay Modern Musician any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that Modern Musician receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount Modern Musician would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required.

7.4. Affiliate Orders. An Affiliate of Customer may enter its own Order(s) as mutually agreed with Modern Musician. This creates a separate agreement between the Affiliate and Modern Musician incorporating this Agreement with the Affiliate treated as “Customer”. Neither Customer nor any Customer Affiliate has any rights under each other’s agreement with Modern Musician, and breach or termination of any such agreement is not breach or termination under any other.

8. Disclaimers. The Services and all related Modern Musician services and support are provided “AS IS”. Modern Musician and its suppliers make no other warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title or noninfringement. Modern Musician does not warrant that Customer’s use of the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free, that Modern Musician will review Customer Data for accuracy or that it will maintain Customer Data without loss. Modern Musician is not liable for delays, failures or problems inherent in use of the Internet and electronic communications or other systems outside Modern Musician’s control. Customer may have other statutory rights, but any statutorily required warranties will be limited to the shortest legally permitted period.

9. Term and Termination.

Except for Modern Musician’s use rights in this Agreement, between the parties Customer retains all intellectual property and other rights in Customer Data provided to Modern Musician.

11. Limitations of Liability.

11.1. Consequential Damages Waiver.

12. Indemnification.

12.1. Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend Modern Musician from and against any third-party claim to the extent resulting from Customer Data or Customer’s breach or alleged breach of Section 5 (Customer Obligations), and will indemnify and hold harmless Modern Musician against any damages or costs awarded against Modern Musician (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or agreed in settlement by Customer resulting from the claim.

12.2. Procedures. Customer’s obligations in this Section 12 are subject to receiving (a) prompt notice of the claim, (b) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense and settlement of the claim and (c) all reasonably necessary cooperation of Modern Musician, at the Customer’s expense for reasonable out-of-pocket costs. Customer may not settle any claim without Modern Musician’s prior consent if settlement would require the Modern Musician to admit fault or take or refrain from taking any action. Modern Musician may participate in a claim with its own counsel at its own expense.

13. Confidentiality.

13.1. Definition. “Confidential Information” means information disclosed to the receiving party under this Agreement that is designated by the disclosing party as proprietary or confidential or that should be reasonably understood to be proprietary or confidential due to its nature and the circumstances of its disclosure. Modern Musician’s Confidential Information includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any technical or performance information about the Services. Customer’s Confidential Information includes Customer Data.

13.2. Obligations. As the receiving party, each party will (a) hold Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose it to third parties except as permitted in this Agreement, including Section 4.1 (Data Use), and (b) only use Confidential Information to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights in this Agreement. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for Modern Musician, the subcontractors referenced in Section 18.9), provided it remains responsible for their compliance with this Section 13 and they are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section 13.

13.3. Exclusions. These confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that the receiving party can document (a) is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of the receiving party, (b) it rightfully knew or possessed prior to receipt under this Agreement, (c) it rightfully received from a third party without breach of confidentiality obligations or (d) it independently developed without using the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.

13.4. Remedies. Unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which damages alone are an insufficient remedy. Each party may seek appropriate equitable relief, in addition to other available remedies, for breach or threatened breach of this Section 13.

14. Required Disclosures. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits either party from making disclosures, including of Customer Data and other Confidential Information, if required by Law, subpoena or court order, provided (if permitted by Law) it notifies the other party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment.

15. Free & Beta Services. This Section applies to Modern Musician’s Free plans and any other free, trial, alpha or beta access to the Services or Service features (“Free & Beta Services”). Free StreetTeam plans are subject to the usage limits at https://streetteam.me/pricing. All other free plans are subject to the usage limits in applicable order details. Any other Free & Beta Services are provided solely for Customer’s internal evaluation during the period designated by Modern Musician (or if not designated, 14 days) and may be subject to additional terms agreed by the parties. Modern Musician will identify Free & Beta Services prior to Customer’s use. Free & Beta Services are optional to use and Modern Musician may suspend or terminate Free & Beta Services at any time for any reason. Free & Beta Services may be inoperable, incomplete or include features that Modern Musician may never release, and their features and performance information are Modern Musician’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Modern Musician’s aggregate liability for Free & Beta Services will not exceed US$50.

16. Publicity. Neither party may publicly announce this Agreement except with the other party’s prior consent or as required by Laws. However, Modern Musician may include Customer and its trademarks in Modern Musician’s customer lists and promotional materials but will cease further use at Customer’s written request.

17. Modifications to Agreement.

17.1. Modifications to Agreement. Modern Musician may modify this Agreement from time to time with notice to Customer. Modifications take effect at Customer’s next Subscription Term or Order unless Modern Musician indicates an earlier effective date. If Modern Musician requires modifications with an earlier effective date and Customer objects, then at Modern Musician’s option, either (a) modifications become effective on Customer’s next Subscription Term or Order or (b) Customer may terminate this Agreement with notice to Modern Musician, in which case Modern Musician will provide Customer a refund of any pre-paid Services that Customer paid Modern Musician within the last 30 days (as its exclusive remedy). To exercise this right, Customer must notify Modern Musician of its objections within 30 days after Modern Musician’s notice of the modified Agreement. Once the modified Agreement takes effect Customer’s continued use of the Services constitutes its acceptance of the modifications. Modern Musician may require Customer to click to accept the modified Agreement.

17.2. Modifications to Supplemental Terms and Policies. Policies are not subject to Section 17.1 (Modifications to Agreement). With notice to Customer, Modern Musician may relocate or change the Supplemental Terms and Policies to reflect new features or changing practices, but the modifications will not materially reduce Customer’s rights or Modern Musician’s overall obligations in the Supplemental Terms or Policies or modify the legal terms in the main body of this Agreement during a Subscription Term.
