All other trademarks not owned by 789TEN or its affiliates that appear on the Website or made available or appears on any Service are the property of their respective owners, who may or may not be affiliated with, connected to, or sponsored by 789TEN or its affiliates.
License. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, including without limitation, your payment of any applicable fees and/or taxes, 789TEN and/or its Providers grant you a limited, non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable license to access and use the Services and any Products purchased via Services for personal use (the “License”). For the avoidance of doubt, the License does NOT include: (i) any collection and use of any product listings, descriptions, or prices; (ii) any downloading or copying of information for the benefit of another merchant; (iii) any use of data mining, bots, or similar data-gathering and extraction tools; (iv) commercial use of Educational Content; (v) creation of derivative works of Educational Content; (vi) the resale of any unmodified content provided in Soundpacks in whole or in part; or (vii) any conduct or activity otherwise prohibited under the provisions of these Terms. The License does, however, include the right for you to amend, alter, modify, adapt, combine, create derivative works from the Soundpacks you have purchased, to include elements from the Soundpacks in your own work, and to use the program presets provided on the Website for personal and/or commercial use. Any Content purchased from the Website will be royalty free, unless otherwise stated.
License Limitations. While you are free to create and commercially exploit original creative works incorporating elements from the Soundpacks, including, without limitation, songs incorporating the performances and/or lyrics contained in so-called lyrics packs, you may not register copyright in and/or to any individual components of your original compositions obtained from 789TEN, including, without limitation, the lyrics contained in lyrics packs, which remain the sole property of 789TEN. (For clarity, if registering original compositions utilizing said lyrics with music rights organizations such as SOCAN or ASCAP, you shall likewise not register the lyrics writer or performer for any royalties, mechanical or otherwise.) You shall furthermore have no right to claim copyright infringement against any other individual for the use of any samples or other materials obtained from 789TEN, including, without limitation, the lyrics.
Rights Reserved. All rights not expressly granted to you under the License or these Terms are reserved and retained by 789TEN or its licensors, suppliers, publishers, rights-holders or other Providers. No Service, nor any part thereof, may be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without the express written consent of 789TEN. You may not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any Trademark, logo, or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout, or form) of 789TEN without express written consent. You may not use any meta tags or any other “hidden text” utilizing the name or Trademarks of 789TEN without the express written consent of 789TEN. For the avoidance of doubt, any consent required to be obtained from 789TEN may be unreasonably withheld by 789TEN. You may not misuse the Services. You may use the 789TEN Services only as permitted by law and as set forth in these Terms. The License granted by 789TEN will automatically terminate in the event you fail to comply with these Terms, or any part thereof. 789TEN further reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue the Website and/or the Services, or any part thereof, at any time and without notice to you, and 789TEN will not be liable to you or to any third party should it exercise such rights.
Personality Rights. The Providers retain all personality rights. While you may incorporate elements from Soundpacks and the program presets in your own creative works, you may not use or reference the name of the Provider, including without limitation musicians and artists, who created the Content you use. For example, you may not reference any such Provider in your created works, commercial or otherwise, as “featuring,” “with,” or any other language which would create the impression of a direct collaboration. Any such use, or other deemed breach of any Providers’ personality rights may be cause for immediate termination of your Account and may result in legal action taken against you.
Product Descriptions. While 789TEN attempts to accurately describe all Products offered for sale through the Services, 789TEN does not warrant that such descriptions, or any other Content of any Services is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.
Payments and Taxes. You agree that you will pay for all Products you purchase through the Services using Tokens (defined below), and that 789TEN may charge your payment method for said Tokens purchased via your subscription Plan (defined below) and for any additional amounts (including without limitation, taxes and late fees, where applicable) that may be accrued by or in connection with your Account. You further agree and acknowledge that all prices, including any related taxes and/or fees, will be charged in United States Dollars (USD), unless 789TEN exercises its right to, at any time, to charge such amounts in any other currency, without notice to you. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF ALL FEES AND FOR PROVIDING 789TEN WITH A VALID PAYMENT METHOD FOR PAYMENT OF ALL PURCHASES AND APPLICABLE FEES AND TAXES. The total purchase price for Products will include the price of the Product plus any applicable sales tax. Such sales tax is based on your billing address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you download or purchase the Product. 789TEN will charge tax only in states where digital goods are taxable. All sales of Products are final. In the event a Product becomes unavailable following a transaction but prior to download, your sole remedy is a refund of the total purchase price. If technical problems prevent or unreasonably delay delivery of your purchased Product, your exclusive and sole remedy is either replacement or refund of the total purchase price paid, as determined by 789TEN in its sole discretion.
Subscription Plans. In order to make purchases via the Website you will need to purchase an annual or monthly subscription plan (each a “Plan”) which will renew automatically unless and until you cancel your Plan, or we terminate it. You must have Internet access and provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (as such may be updated from time to time, the “Payment Method”) to use the Plan service. We will bill the monthly membership fee to your Payment Method. You must cancel your membership fee before it renews each month (as explained below) in order to avoid billing of the next month’s membership fees to your Payment Method. A Plan will provide you a set number tokens (“Tokens”), depending on the Plan plan you choose. Tokens are redeemable for Products and Services on the Website. The number of Tokens per Product and Service will vary.
Purchases And Access After Cancellation. If you cancel your Plan, your Account will remain active and will retain access to any purchases made with your Tokens, but you will not be able to purchase further Products and Services until you activate a new Plan. In order to continue to access your purchases, you must maintain access to your Account.
Compatible Devices. In addition to an active Account, use of the Services and Products requires a compatible device, Internet access, and certain software (fees may apply). High-speed Internet access is strongly recommended for regular use and is required for video content. The latest version of certain software may be required or recommended to access the Website and/or Services and may be required for certain transactions or features of the Services and to purchase or download the Products, or to continue viewing or accessing purchased Products. You agree that meeting these requirements, which may change from time to time, is your sole responsibility.
Third-Party Software. There are software programs and technology contained within, or available through, the Website or the Services, that have been licensed to us by third parties (collectively “Third-Party Software”). Any Third-Party Software is subject to the proprietary rights of its respective owner. You acknowledge and agree that the owners of Third-Party Software will not be held liable for the removal or other unavailability of such Third-Party Software in the Service. In addition, the same terms and conditions, including all limitations and restrictions, set forth in these Terms apply to the Third-Party Software contained in the Service. 789TEN does not assume any responsibility or liability for your use of such Third-Party Software.

Additional terms and conditions may apply to you with respect to your use of those Third-Party Platforms. 789TEN does not assume any responsibility or liability for your use of such Third-Party Platforms. YOUR ABILITY TO ACCESS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ON THE WEBSITE MAY REQUIRE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE. 789TEN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISSING FEATURES OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO USE OR ACCESS, ANYTHING PURCHASED THROUGH THE WEBSITE IF SUCH DEFICIENCY IS THE RESULT OF A REFUSAL ON YOUR PART TO ACCEPT ANY RELATED THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OR THIRD-PARTY PLATFORM TERMS OF USE OR CONDITION.
Third-Party Materials. Certain content, products and services available via the Website or Services may include material, data, content, logo or information from third parties or hyperlinks to third party websites. 789TEN may provide links to third-party websites or products. You agree that 789TEN is not responsible for examining or evaluating the content, accuracy or safety of such third-party content or websites, and 789TEN does not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or websites, or for any other materials, products, or services of third parties. You agree that you will not use any third-party materials in a manner that would infringe or violate the rights of any other party and that 789TEN is not in any way responsible for any such use by you.
Reviews, Comments, Communications, and Other Content. Upon purchase of a Product, you may be admitted into a private forum for that Product (a “Forum”). (Certain Forums may require more than one purchase for access.) Providers connected to the related Product may, from time to time, participate on said Forum, but there is no guarantee of direct communication to or with any Provider or any other individual on a Forum. You may post reviews, comments, suggestions, ideas, questions and other content (“User Content”) publicly on the Website so long as such User Content is not illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights of any party, or otherwise injurious to third parties or objectionable, and does not consist of or contain software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of “spam” or unsolicited commercial electronic messages, any of which 789TEN may, but is under no obligation to, determine in its sole discretion. To post User Content, you must be logged in to your Account. 789TEN reserves the right, but not the obligation, to regularly screen, remove or edit User Content. If you post User Content, and unless 789TEN indicates otherwise, you grant 789TEN a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sub-licensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, perform, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, communicate to the public by telecommunications and display such User Content throughout the world in any media for any purpose, commercial or otherwise. You represent and warrant that you own all rights to the User Content you post on the Website, that such User Content is accurate and that use of such User Content does not violate these Terms and will not cause injury to any third party. You hereby indemnify 789TEN for any and all claims resulting from your User Content, and you hereby acknowledge and agree that 789TEN takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content. All of the above-stated User Content limitations and requirements will apply to any and all Forums, including without limitation abusive or confrontational communications directed at Providers, 789TEN representatives, or other Forum users, which 789TEN may, in its sole discretion and without any obligation, enforce as we see fit.

Termination. If you fail, or 789TEN suspects that you have failed, to comply with any provisions of these Terms, 789TEN, in its sole discretion, without notice to you may: (i) terminate these Terms and/or your Account, whereupon you will remain liable for all amounts due under your Account up to and including the date of termination; and/or (ii) prohibit access to the Services or Website, or any part thereof.
