WELCOME TO BLIP.FM Welcome to Blip.fm, an online property of Reblip LLC (as used herein, "we", "our" or "us"). If you use Blip.fm or any affiliated site operated by us (collectively, the "Site"), that means you agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use (the "Terms"). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE LEAVE THE SITE NOW. You should read these Terms carefully, and re-read them from time to time, as they can change without notice.
OWNERSHIP OF CONTENT Your Content. We do not own your content. However, by uploading, posting or displaying (collectively, "Posting") any text, images, audio, video or other content (collectively, "Content") to the Site, you grant us a limited license to use your Content throughout the Site. We call this the "Content License", which is basically a set of rules for how we may, and may not, use your Content. Specifically, under the Content License: • We may include your Content in temporary or permanent features, functions, promotions or other activities occurring on or through the Site, including in "widgets" that are created or managed on or through the Site but exist or function outside of the Site, or through one or more applications or APIs accessible by users or third parties (collectively, "Programs"); these Programs may enable us or users to use, modify, reproduce, publicly perform, publicly display, transmit, stream and distribute your Content.• We may let other parties exercise these rights on the Site and in or through "Programs" (the Content License is sublicensable). • We may exercise these rights without paying you (the Content License is fully paid & royalty free). • We may exercise these rights throughout the Site worldwide, including through "Programs" which may reside outside of the Site. • You may grant similar licenses to others (the Content License is non-exclusive). • You may terminate the license at any time by following the steps described below. Terminating the Content License. If you want to terminate the Content License with respect to some or all of your Content, you can do so by deleting such Content from the applicable profile. To request deletion of an entire user profile you must also send an email to
[email protected] stating your name, the username, password and registered email address(es) associated with the profile, with the words "Delete User Profile" in the subject line. Please note that if you or another party in possession of the your username and password subsequently places Content on the profile, this will void your deletion notice. If we violate the Content License, you may either terminate the Content License as described above or send a reasonably detailed email explaining the violation to
[email protected]. We will correct the violation within a reasonable time not to exceed 30 days after receipt of proper notice. These are your exclusive remedies for a breach by us. We are not responsible for disputes between users, including breaches of the
Content license by users, disputes between users associated with particular content, or for any deletion or reinstatement of content that may result from the actions of one or more such users. Notwithstanding anything else in these Terms, please note that terminating the Content License does not automatically remove all of your Content accumulated throughout the Site as a result of your participation in the Site; we retain the Content License in such Content and will consider any requests to withdraw such materials on a case by case basis, in light of the technical and other resources necessary to effect such withdrawal, and other factors we deem relevant. Community Programs. Programs can be added, deleted or modified by us at any time. From time to time, we may initiate Programs that involve use of your Content outside of the general scope of the Content License, or would involve different kinds of content. These Programs may involve different or additional terms than those found in these Terms which you must agree to (collectively, "Ancillary Terms"). Ancillary Terms include formal notice language and clickthrough agreements, the descriptive names of Programs, and the stated rules/limitations, descriptions and obvious functional elements of such Programs, which serve as notice to you of how such activities are intended to work, and of the terms applicable to the activity. Your participation in or use of a Program constitutes your agreement to such Ancillary Terms. Partner Offerings. In addition to our Programs, we may occasionally facilitate other businesses ("Partners") providing or offering to provide goods or services to users ("Partner Offerings"). To assist Partners in making these Partner Offerings relevant to Users, we may provide Partners with non-personally identifying information about a user, including the User's known or estimated zipcode, age, and gender information associated with the User Profile and/or associated Band Profiles, together with an identification number or other information that would not reveal a user's personal identity to the Partner. Except as specifically provided for herein, participation in such Partner Offerings is subject to whatever terms, conditions and privacy policies are agreed to by Partner and the user; notwithstanding the wording of any such materials, nothing therein may cause us to have, or increase any liability or obligation to any party. By utilizing or opting in to such Partner Offering, you agree that we shall be completely free from any liability arising from that relationship (including all aspects of that relationship that happen on or through the Site). Contests, sweepstakes and other promotions. From time to time, we, our users or our Partners may conduct contests, sweepstakes, giveaways or other promotions (collectively, "Promotions") on or through the Site. In order to be eligible to participate in any Promotion, your user profile must include your legal name, and a profile picture, and be registered with a verified or verifiable email address; one entry per individual and per email address (the foregoing are the "Minimum Account Requirements"). If the Ancillary Terms of a Promotion do not expressly state otherwise (or if there are no such stated Ancillary Terms), then by participating in the Promotion you agree that the users or Partners presenting, offering or sponsoring the Promotion, and not us, are solely liable for the Promotion, including but not limited to the awarding of any prizes or awards. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as giving any party permission to conduct or sponsor a Promotion on, through, or utilizing the Site. In addition, by participating in any Promotions, you represent that you are a permanent, legal resident of the United States and at least 18 years of age (and at least 19 years of age if a resident of Alabama or Nebraska, and at least 21 years of age if a resident of Mississippi). Fraudulent entries, or entries generated by script or other technological means are void. If a promotion involves inviting others to register on the Site, only those registrations meeting the Minimum Account Requirements will count for any purpose in the Promotion; if a newly registered user was invited by multiple users, we will determine which participant in the promotion will receive credit for the registration. Prize and
award payouts under $250 in value are generally made within one week of closure of the promotion; larger payout amounts are generally made within thirty days. We may, in our discretion, require a signed release and affidavit before delivering the prize or award to a participant. Our determinations regarding any aspect of a promotion are final. The foregoing provisions apply to any and all Promotions, except (and, in the case of such exception, only) to the extent that the Ancillary Terms associated with such Promotion expressly state otherwise. Your Content is your responsibility. You (and not us) are solely responsible for your Content, and for its accuracy, integrity, quality, lawfulness and merit. By putting your Content on the Site, or by delivering your Content to a third party via the Site or other mechanism facilitated by us, you are making a legally binding promise that you possess all the rights necessary in order for you to grant to us the Content License, and that your Content (and the inclusion of such Content in Programs) does not violate the privacy, publicity or intellectual property rights (including copyright) of any other party. If any royalty or other payment becomes due to any party as a result of us fully exercising the Content License rights to such Content, or your participation in the Site or any Programs, then you alone (and not us) shall be responsible for such payments. Your use of Content in any Program is your responsibility. You may not upload, post, publish or transmit any Content that is unlawful, fraudulent, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, profane, threatening, abusive, or otherwise objectionable, including, without limitation, any Content that would constitute illegal activity, give rise to civil liability, or violate any local, state, national or applicable foreign law. You may not put Content on the Site if you can't make all these promises about the Content, or for which you are not legally entitled to grant us the Content License. Site monitoring. We reserve the right, but are not obligated to, monitor or screen any or all Content, activity or information exchange occurring on or through the Site, including but not limited to monitoring to determine compliance with these Terms or to accumulate economically valuable data about usage and other behavior patters on or related to the Site. For information on privacy, please see our Privacy Policy. We do not guarantee that any monitoring or screening it conducts will be effective or accurate. Site organization. The Site is organized around "users" who create "profiles"(also called “accounts”). Please exercise care with respect to profiles you create and the passwords to access such profiles, and carefully monitor the activity in such profiles, because you are responsible for all of the Content in such profiles under these Terms, just as if you had personally uploaded it. More on "widgets". As described above, "widgets" are features or Programs that allow users (and in some cases, others) to use, share or manage content that will appear in a location other than the Site. As in all other cases, users who upload content are fully responsibly for such content, including responsibility for respecting the rights of copyright owners.
