2.07.4. Provider agrees to utilize and provide Provider's best efforts to include, as soon as possible, a link to the Site from any website related to Provider and/or owned, operated, or maintained by Provider and/or on Provider's behalf.
2.07.5. As used herein, the term "use" as it applies to the Content includes, without limitation, the right to stream musical and/or other Content at no additional cost or charge to SAWCE. The term "use" shall also include SAWCE'S use of Content titles and artist names in connection with a "music market" to be utilized by users of the Site wishing to invest and/or speculate in the popularity of any Content offered for sale on the Site, at no additional cost or charge to SAWCE. This provision, 2.07.5, refers to the SAWCE recommendation system and affiliate system.
2.07.6. SAWCE shall have the right, and throughout the term of this Agreement shall continue to retain the right, to remove from the Site any and all Content for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation Content that SAWCE deems, in SAWCE'S sole discretion and judgment, to be illegal, unsafe, scandalous, obscene, libelous or of a morally deviant nature, and/or otherwise inappropriate, without any claim, recourse and/or right by Provider. Content uploaded to the Site shall remain on the Site unless removed by SAWCE in accordance herewith, and/or requested to be removed by Provider, in writing. If Provider requests that the Content be removed from the Site, Provider shall state the reason for the removal request. SAWCE will, within sixty (60) calendar days of Provider's notice, remove the Content from the Site. However, it is expressly agreed that a Provider shall not be permitted to request removal of Content submitted to the Site under the terms of this Agreement for a period of sixty (60) calendar days from the date Provider uploads such Content onto the Site (hereinafter the "Upload Date").
3.00. In full and complete consideration of the performance of all the terms and provisions to be performed by Provider, and for all the rights granted to SAWCE hereunder, SAWCE agrees to pay to Provider an amount (the "Provider Payment") equal to the net sales price of any Content sold on the Site (or by virtue of any partnership with SAWCE) to any third party ("Sales Revenue"), minus a fixed percentage of no greater than thirty percent (30%) of such Sales Revenue ("Retained Percentage") per song. In addition, an initial one-time listing fee ("Listing Fee") of no greater than Five Dollars ($5.00) per unit of Content will be deducted from the Sales Revenue. For the sake of clarity, the Provider Payment is 70% of the Sales Revenue after the Listing Fee for each unit of Content sold on the Site is deducted from the Sales Revenue.
3.00.1. The Retained Percentage is subject to change by SAWCE, in SAWCE'S sole discretion and judgment, upon prior written notice to Provider, including notice via email, text message, etc., provided however, that no increase shall be effective during the first one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the Upload Date. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the Provider retains the right to opt out of the service, within fifteen (15) days of SAWCE'S notice to Provider of said increase, if an increase in the Retained Percentage is found to be disagreeable to the Provider after consultation and discussion with SAWCE.
3.01. No later than thirty (30) calendar days after the end of a Pay Period, which is to be no longer than three (3) calendar months, and assuming the receipt by SAWCE of Sales Revenue from downloaded Content, SAWCE shall make the Provider Payment due Provider pursuant to Paragraph 3.00 above. This provision shall be in effect so long as there is at least Ten Dollars ($10.00) in Provider Payment from the sale of Provider's Content during the preceding Pay Period. If the Provider Payment is not at least Ten Dollars ($10.00) from the sale of Content through the Site for a given Pay Period, then SAWCE shall be entitled to retain that revenue and apply it to each successive Pay Period until Provider has earned at least Ten Dollars ($10.00) of cumulative Provider Payment. Once Provider has earned at least Ten Dollars ($10.00) in cumulative Provider Payment, including any cumulative Provider Payment from prior Pay Periods, SAWCE shall pay the Provider's Payment no more than three (3) calendar months thereafter. In the event that this Agreement is terminated, SAWCE shall pay the Provider's Payment no more than three (3) calendar months thereafter upon due demand.
3.02. Provider acknowledges that Provider is responsible for immediately notifying SAWCE, in writing, of any address and/or notice changes where Provider is to receive payment and/or notice. Provider assumes all responsibility with respect to advising SAWCE of any change in notice address. In the event a Provider Payment does not reach Provider due to a failure to provide updated mailing address information or updated PayPal account information, Provider hereby absolves SAWCE from any liability in connection with such failure.
3.03. The initial term of this Agreement ("Term") shall consist of a period of two (2) years commencing on the Effective Date listed above. The Term shall be automatically extended for consecutive one (1) year periods, unless terminated by either party by written notice to the other party at least sixty (60) days before the end of the then applicable term. This Agreement may be cancelled upon sixty (60) calendar days advance written notice by either Party after an initial term of sixty (60) calendar days. It is hereby acknowledged by Provider that the Provider's Content will be offered for sale through the Site (and through SAWCE'S Strategic Network Partners, if separately agreed to by the parties) until this Agreement is validly terminated by either Party hereto. If not validly terminated by either party, this Agreement will renew thereafter automatically on the same terms and conditions for additional successive annual periods without the need for further action by either party.
3.04. It is hereby agreed to and acknowledged by the parties that in order to better serve its customers and Providers, SAWCE shall have the right to compile and use statistics related to the sale of Provider's Content and of Provider's purchases to better understand the Provider and his/her preferences, etc. SAWCE hereby expressly reserves the right to collect information about its users, including, without limitation, information about its Provider, via cookies and recorded data from SAWCE'S servers and/or partners.
3.04.1. It is expressly agreed to by the parties to this Agreement that it is permissible for SAWCE to provide and/or sell any or all of the collected information to SAWCE'S business partners, in SAWCE'S sole discretion and judgment, without the necessity of notice to, approval by, and/or compensation to Provider; provided, however, except as otherwise provide on the Site, that in accordance with SAWCE'S Privacy Policy, as set forth elsewhere on this Site, SAWCE will take reasonable steps to avoid knowingly disclosing its Providers' names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, banking information and/or address without first notifying Provider in advance in sufficient time to allow its Providers to object and to legally prevent SAWCE from disclosing said information.
3.04.2. In addition, by using this Site, Provider acknowledges and agrees that Internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. Provider acknowledges and understands that any message or information sent to SAWCE may be read or intercepted by others, even if there is a special notice that a particular transaction or transmission (for example, credit card information) is encrypted.
3.05. It is hereby acknowledged by the Provider that Provider shall be fully responsible for any and all taxes, interest and penalties arising from receipt by Provider of any Provider Payment from SAWCE. In addition to the general indemnification granted elsewhere by Provider to SAWCE, Provider hereby agrees to indemnify and hold SAWCE, its officers, directors, shareholders, predecessors, successors-in-interest, employees, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates, harmless from any demands, loss, liability claims or expenses (including attorneys' fees), made against SAWCE by any third party due to or arising out of or in connection with Provider's uses of the Site.
4.00. Provider agrees to and shall be responsible for any costs, attorneys' fees and/or damages incurred or assessed against SAWCE and its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives because of and/or arising out of any action taken in response to, and/or suggested by, Provider's Content, including, but not limited to, suggestions and/or or inducements that a listener should and/or engage in any illegal, unsafe, scandalous, obscene, libelous or morally deviant and/or otherwise inappropriate behavior.
4.00.1. Provider agrees to and will indemnify and hold SAWCE (and its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives) harmless, and Provider agrees to and will pay any defense costs, attorneys' fees and costs as well as any and all damages and/or payments assessed against SAWCE on account of any illegal, unsafe, scandalous, obscene, libelous or morally deviant and/or otherwise inappropriate material contained in Provider's Content.
4.01. SAWCE shall not be responsible for editing any Content and Provider will have no editorial control over the Content after its submission. However, SAWCE retains the right, in its sole discretion, to delete and/or decline to use any Content that in SAWCE'S opinion is illegal, unsafe, scandalous, obscene, libelous, morally deviant and/or otherwise of an inappropriate nature.
4.02. Provider agrees and warrants that Provider shall immediately notify SAWCE, in writing to the notice address listed herein, if any claim of infringement, obscenity, incitement, or any other legal action is brought against Provider in connection with any Content, including, without limitation, any claim pursuant to Paragraphs 2.01, 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05 and 3.04.
4.03. This Agreement is personal to Provider. Provider may not assign or otherwise transfer Provider's rights and duties under this Agreement without prior written notice to SAWCE and written consent of SAWCE. Any such purported assignment without notification is null and void.
5.00. Provider hereby agrees and acknowledges that this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the Province of British Columbia and shall be interpreted and governed by the laws of that province, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Provider agrees and submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue in the provincial and/or federal courts in the Province of British Columbia. Notwithstanding the statutory period of limitations provided for in British Columbia, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the Provider that any claim under or in connection with this Agreement related to allegations that SAWCE breached the Agreement shall be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or such claim or cause of action is time-barred. In the event of any controversy or dispute between SAWCE and Provider arising out of or in connection with the use of the Site, the parties shall attempt, promptly and in good faith, to resolve any such dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve any such dispute within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days), then either party may submit such controversy or dispute to mediation pursuant to paragraph 5.01 below.
5.01. If any disputes and/or differences whatsoever shall arise between the Parties in connection with the compliance, interpretation and/or enforcement of this Agreement, any and all such disputes and/or differences shall be submitted to mediation in Vancouver, British Columbia, before a mediator mutually selected by the Parties. If mediation is not successful, or within thirty (30) calendar days, whichever occurs first, either Party may request the dispute be submitted to final and binding arbitration, in Vancouver, British Columbia, before an arbitrator mutually selected by the Parties. If the Parties cannot mutually agree upon the selection of an Arbitrator within two (2) weeks, the Parties shall select an Arbitrator as provided in the Commercial Arbitration Act of British Columbia for commercial disputes. The Arbitrator chosen shall be bound by the express terms of this Agreement, except as necessary to comply with the requirements of applicable case law, and shall hear and determine all disputes as presented to him or her as expeditiously and economically as possible. To the extent consistent with applicable statutory and case law, the Prevailing Party in any action, proceeding or arbitration shall be entitled to recover not only the amount of any damages, judgment, award or settlement in favor of said Party, if any, but also such other damages, costs and expenses as may be actually incurred by said Party, including Court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, or expert witness or consultant fees incurred in connection with such action, proceeding or arbitration. Any award of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding and may be confirmed as a final judgment in any Court of competent jurisdiction in British Columbia. The courts of the Province of British Columbia shall have the exclusive jurisdiction over both of the Parties and their property to enforce any resolution or the award of the Arbitrator. Provider hereby waives any challenge to venue, including forum non-conveniens.
6.00. NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR ARISING HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMIATION, NO REPRESENTATION OR AFFIRMATION OF FACT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, STATEMENTS REGARDING SUITABILITY FOR USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PLATFORM OR THE AFFILIATE TECHNOLOGY), WHETHER MADE BY A PARTY'S REPRESENTATIVE, EMPLOYEE OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A WARRANTY BY THAT PARTY FOR ANY PURPOSE, AND/OR GIVE RISE TO ANY LIABILITY OF THAT PARTY. THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF SAWCE TO THE PROVIDER FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUR OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED ALL FEES AND COMMISSIONS COLLECTED OR DUE HEREUNDER.
6.01. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed to by the Parties that the Internet is sometimes unreliable, slow or inactive. As such, the parties agree that SAWCE shall not be responsible for any delays and/or errors in fulfilling orders for Provider's Content caused by SAWCE'S Internet connection, equipment (including server) failure, distributors and/or delivery services and/or by Acts of God, and/or any other cause beyond the control of SAWCE. SAWCE shall not be responsible for any failure to list the submitted Content due to transmission errors and/or any other cause beyond the control of SAWCE.
6.02. Inadvertent/Minor Errors Not a Material Breach. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed to by the Parties that, although SAWCE uses its best efforts to accurately account, there may be minor, inadvertent accounting errors due to the number of transactions processed by SAWCE, coupled with the fractional dollar amount of many of these transactions. Provider will have the right to request, not more than once per calendar year and at Provider's expense, an audit of SAWCE'S records to verify the accuracy of SAWCE'S accounting in regard to Provider's Content (an "Audit Request"). Such Audit Request is subject to SAWCE'S agreement, which may be withheld in SAWCE'S sole discretion. An audit, should Provider's request be granted by SAWCE in its sole discretion, will occur at the place where SAWCE maintains such records, during SAWCE'S normal business hours and with at least thirty (30) days prior notice. In the event that accounting errors are found, SAWCE reserves the right to address and rectify the alleged errors within fifteen (15) business days. Any audit, objection relating to any accounting statement, or lawsuit arising therefrom, must be made (and lawsuit commenced) no later than one (1) year after the date of the Pay Period in question. Provider hereby waives any longer statute of limitations that may be permitted by law. Provider agrees that in the event Provider brings legal action against SAWCE for a purported breach of the agreement due to a failure to provide an accurate accounting, and a financial review or audit of SAWCE'S books and records yields a finding that the difference between the accounting provided by SAWCE to the Provider and the auditor's findings is five percent (5%) or less, then Provider agrees to reimburse SAWCE for its actual attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection with the Provider's action and/or audit.
7.00. Except as set forth above in Paragraph 3.00 as to notice by e-mail, all notices and/or demands concerning material obligations and claims of breach, provided for or permitted under this Agreement shall be made in writing and either be (i) personally delivered, or (ii) sent by postage prepaid certified mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) delivered by courier service.
