1.3 The service enables Users to create, host, and promote virtual and in-person live events for which you may sell or purchase tickets (the “Ticket Sales Feature”). If you choose to use the Ticket Sale Feature, you agree to abide by all economic and other terms and conditions presented to you in exchange for your use of the Ticket Sales Feature, including without limitation, for ticket sellers --sharing the proceeds from the sale of tickets with SHOWX and its third party service providers that facilitate such service. As a ticket seller, you agree that you are solely responsible for all things related to the events, customers, tickets, venues, and performances utilizing the Ticket Sales Feature.

Whether you are a ticket seller or ticket purchaser, SHOWX shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to anything related to the events or the tickets sold through the Ticket Sales Feature.

1.4 The service also enables Users to plot out, map, and optimize a tour route so venues and other Users can see when and where you are touring to create potential opportunities to perform with other Users and at venues along the way. Users can receive notifications when venues have availability in a city the User is looking to perform in, as well as co-bill opportunities with other Users that are also looking to perform in those cities.

You agree to use the SHOWX service, including all features, functionalities, and content associated therewith, in accordance with all applicable intellectual property laws, rules, and regulations, and other restrictions on use of the service or content therein, and to respect the intellectual property rights of third parties. Please note that your unauthorized use of the SHOWX service may violate the rights of others and applicable laws, and may result in your civil and criminal liability.

1.12. Permissions You Give to Us. As part of our agreement, you also give us permissions that we need to provide certain aspects of the SHOWX service. We do not claim ownership of the works or other content you stream, upload or post, but you grant us a license to use it. When you create, stream, share, post, or upload any content, information, or other works covered by intellectual property rights (including without limitation music, photos, or videos) on or in connection with the SHOWX service (“User Content”), you hereby grant to us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your User Content (consistent with your privacy and application settings). You can end this license to us anytime by deleting your User Content or account. However, the User Content will continue to appear and be used if you shared it with others or allowed others to collaborate on it, and they have not deleted it.

You give us permission to show your username, profile picture, band, or artist name and information about your actions (such as likes or tour map) or relationships (such as follows and connections) next to or in connection with accounts, ads, offers, and other sponsored content that you follow or engage with without any compensation to you. You agree that we can download and install updates to the service on your device. Any User Content posted by you to or through the service or transmitted to SHOWX will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary, and treated as such by SHOWX, and may be used by SHOWX in accordance with these Terms of Use without notice to you and without liability to SHOWX. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted herein include, but are not limited to, the right to reproduce sound recordings (and make mechanical reproductions of the musical works embodied in such sound recordings) and publicly perform and communicate to the public sound recordings (and the musical works embodied therein), all on a royalty-free basis. This means that you are granting SHOWX the right to use your User Content without the obligation to pay royalties to any third party, including, but not limited to, a sound recording copyright owner (e.g., a record label), a musical work copyright owner (e.g., a music publisher), a performing rights organization (e.g., ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, etc.) (a " PRO"), a sound recording PRO (e.g., SoundExchange), any unions or guilds, and engineers, producers, or other royalty participants involved in the creation of User Content.

1.13. Intellectual Property Rights. As between SHOWX and you, you retain ownership of any rights you have in your User Content and submitting your User Content to the service does not transfer ownership of your rights.

1.14. Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with these Terms of Use, SHOWX hereby grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free, and worldwide right and license to access and use the service solely for either (a) your personal, non-commercial use, or (b) your internal business purposes, and, in either case, solely in strict compliance with the provisions of these Terms of Use and in accordance with the features of the service as it is marketed by SHOWX.

1.15. You Must Have Rights to the Content You Make Available Through the Service. You must not post or stream any User Content to the service if you are not the copyright owner of or are not fully authorized to grant rights in all of the elements of the User Content you intend to post to the service. In addition, if you only own the rights in and to a sound recording, but not to the underlying musical works embodied in such sound recordings, then you must not post or stream such sound recordings using the service unless you have all necessary rights, authorizations, and permissions with respect to such embedded musical works that grant you sufficient rights to grant the licenses to SHOWX under these Terms of Use. You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the User Content posted by you on or through the service or otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in these Terms of Use; (ii) the posting, streaming or other availability and use of your User Content on or through the service does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights, intellectual property rights, or any other rights of any person, including, but not limited to, the rights of any person visible in any of your User Content; (iii) the posting, streaming or other availability of your User Content on the service will not require us to obtain any further licenses from or pay any royalties, fees, compensation, or other amounts or provide any attribution to any third parties; and (iv) the posting, streaming or other availability of your User Content on the service and sharing of such User Content outside the service does not result in a breach of contract between you and a third party. You agree to pay all monies owing to any person as a result of your User Content on the service.

1.16. Waiver of Rights to User Content. By posting User Content to or through the service, you waive any rights to prior inspection or approval of any marketing or promotional materials related to such User Content.

Nothing in these Terms of Use grants you a license to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, communicate to the public, synchronize. or otherwise use and exploit any third party content, including, but not limited to, sound recordings and musical works included in your device’s local music library in your works. You are solely responsible for clearing the rights to any third party content, including, but not limited to, sound recordings and musical works used in works. The ability to access the local library of any device on which an app is stored does not by itself authorize you to use the sound recordings and other content within such library without the authorization of the copyright owners of such content in the local library.

1.18. You hereby acknowledge and agree that if you post a work or other User Content created on or uploaded to SHOWX to any external site or service, then you are solely responsible for obtaining all permissions and consents for posting or sharing such work or User Content to any external site.

Moreover, SHOWX solely owns all design rights, databases and compilation and other intellectual property rights in and to the service, in each case whether registered or unregistered, and any related goodwill.

1.20. SHOWX trademarks, service marks, and logos used and displayed on the service are SHOWX’s registered and unregistered trademarks or service marks, (the “trademarks”). Other product and service names located on the service may be trademarks or service marks owned by third parties (such other names and marks are also included in “trademarks”). Except as otherwise permitted by law, you may not use the trademarks to disparage SHOWX or the applicable third-party, SHOWX’s or a third-party's products or services, or in any manner (using commercially reasonable judgment) that may damage any goodwill in the trademarks. You may not use any trademarks as part of a link to or from any service without SHOWX’s prior express written consent. All goodwill generated from the use of any SHOWX trademark will inure solely to SHOWX’s benefit.

1.21. The posting of any objectionable content may subject you to third party claims and none of the rights granted to you in these Terms of Use may be raised as a defense against any third party claims arising from your posting of objectionable content.
