TERMS OF USE
LAST UPDATED: 6th of January 2022
You're one step closer to being a part of Rights HUB community. We can't wait to have you on board. Before we make things official, however, it is important for you to understand the terms and conditions – including the rules, rights and obligations associated with using RIGHTS HUB.
To assist you with your review of the agreement, at the end of most sections of the agreement we provide a short summary of the applicable section. These summaries are included for reference purposes only, do not constitute contractual terms and are not a substitute for reading the actual contractual terms; the summaries will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement, and, in all cases, the substantive terms of this Agreement (and not any summary) will govern and take priority over any summary.
Please note that other terms and conditions may also apply to your use of RIGHTS HUB; in particular, if you use certain portions of Rights HUB service, you may have to agree to additional terms and conditions, such as the third party applications.
Please take a moment to read this Agreement (as defined below) carefully. Your use of Rights HUB (as defined below) constitutes your agreement to this Agreement.
This RIGHTS HUB (together with any successor RIGHTS HUB(s), the Service (as defined below) and any related mobile software application made available by us (together with any successor application(s) (the "App")), collectively, "RIGHTS HUB") is operated by Monokrome Music Ltd. ("we", "us"). We provide RIGHTS HUB users with access to Rights HUB service (such service and related content and materials, the "Service"). Your use of Rights HUB (including the Service) is governed by these Terms of Use (this "Agreement"), regardless of how you access Rights HUB (including through the Internet, through a mobile network, or otherwise). This Agreement is between you and us.
For clarity, this Agreement governs your general access to and use of Rights HUB.
PLEASE NOTE: Rights HUB may include or be used in connection with certain Third Party Applications (as defined in Section 12 below). Your access to or use of such Third Party Applications may be governed by additional terms and conditions that are not set forth in this Agreement and that are made available by the particular providers of such Third Party Applications.
If you are an individual, or a company, label or other organisation ("Organisation"), accessing or using Rights HUB not only on your own behalf or for your own benefit but also on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any other individual or other group of individuals (A "GROUP"), then you are agreeing to this Agreement on behalf of yourself and such Group (including each member of the Group), and you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority to bind such Group (including each member thereof) to this Agreement. References to "you" and "your" in this Agreement will refer to both the individual or organization accessing or using Rights HUB and to such Group (including each member thereof).
THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT, AS FURTHER SET FORTH IN SECTION 18 BELOW (AND SUBJECT TO THE EXCEPTIONS SET FORTH THEREIN), REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR ANY OTHER COURT PROCEEDINGS, OR CLASS ACTIONS OF ANY KIND.
Summary:
Please read these terms carefully. If you use RIGHTS HUB (including our apps or websites), you agree to these terms. If you are a UK resident, you will want to take a close look at Section 18, which requires that disputes between you and us be resolved on an individual basis through binding arbitration, rather than in a court room before a judge and jury.
- Acceptance of Terms.By using RIGHTS HUB, you agree to the terms of this Agreement and to any additional rules and guidelines that we post on Rights HUB. We may make changes to this Agreement from time to time; we may notify you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting the revised version of this Agreement on RIGHTS HUB. You can determine when we last changed this Agreement by referring to the "LAST UPDATED" legend above. Your use of Rights HUB following changes to this Agreement will constitute your acceptance of those changes; provided, however, any material change to this Agreement shall not apply retroactively to any claim or dispute between you and us in connection with this Agreement that arose prior to the "LAST UPDATED" date applicable to that version of this Agreement in which we included such material change. We may, at any time, without liability, modify or discontinue all or part of Rights HUB; charge, modify or waive fees required to use Rights HUB; or offer opportunities to some or all RIGHTS HUB users.
Summary:
We're constantly evolving, which is a key reason why we need the flexibility to modify these terms and our services from time to time as set out in Section 1 above. You should check the "Last Updated" legend at the top of these terms from time to time to determine if these terms have been modified since you last reviewed them; if they have been modified, you will want to take the time to review the modified terms.
