The service is provided by Playback ApS (CVR no. 43092847) (“Playback” or “We”) to you as customer (“Customer”, “You”, or “Your”) and/or user (“User”) and/or collaborators (“Collaborators”) and referred to each as a ”Party” and collectively as “Parties”.

By clicking “I agree” to the pop-up, You agree to these T&Cs.

‍1 The Playback Platform Service (“Platform”) and Tools (“Tools” or “App-s”)‍

1.1 The Platform is an online tool located at https://app.playback.studio/.

1.2 The Platform allows You to register Your releases and assign monetary rights to the people You have collaborated with on the release (referred to as the “Collaborators”). After You have registered the name and e-mail of a Collaborator, an email is sent to the Collaborators, asking the Collaborators to sign up to the Platform. Playback then proceeds to calculate the amount of royalties due to You, and each Collaborator of Your release. It is Your responsibility to ensure that Playback is granted access to the relevant income sources from which Playback is to collect the revenue. Playback pays out the royalties in accordance with the allocation (the “Allocation”) You have registered to the release.

1.3 As a Collaborator, You shall register on the Platform and/or Apps, which includes the acceptance of these T&Cs. As a Collaborator you are also considered a Customer and User of the Platform and/or Apps.

1.4 You undertake to: I. Loyally register the Allocation for each release in accordance with the underlying agreements with Collaborators. II. Grant Playback access to each revenue source e.g. The Orchard Workstation, enabling Playback to collect the revenue. III. Comply with, under Your full liability, all regulations applicable to the operations that You perform.

‍2 Ownership of Intellectual Property Rights and Usage of the Platform‍

2.1 You remain the sole owner of any intellectual property rights, including copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and all other applicable rights (collectively “IPR”), which You have made before or after accepting these T&Cs. Playback shall be entitled to use Your IPR solely to the extent that it is necessary for the performance of these T&Cs.

2.2 Playback remains the exclusive owner of the Platform and all IPR vested in it, and You are not authorized to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code, know-how or algorithms, documentation, or data relevant to the Platform.

2.3 You are explicitly prohibited from: (i) using the Platform in any other form than as provided by Playback; (ii) using the Platform for any purpose other than as set out in these T&Cs; (iii) obtaining title to the Platform or any IPR therein; and (iv) sub-licensing the Platform.

3.3 We will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks associated with the processing of personal data. Such measures shall include protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage.

After receiving your data, Playback will retain the information for a certain duration to meet Playback's legal obligations and in compliance with applicable data protection regulations. Playback shall not be held liable for any loss of such data.

‍6 Liability‍

6.1 We will use our best efforts to provide You with a safe and bug-free Platform. However, the Platform is provided as is and We cannot guarantee that the Platform will always run without interruption, bugs, or delay. We will not be held liable for any damage: (i) not caused by our breach of these T&Cs; (ii) that neither Party could have reasonably foreseen at the moment the present T&Cs were accepted; (iii) caused by third parties; or (iv) caused by events outside our control.

6.2 Neither Party shall be liable for any indirect or consequential damages. Either Party’s liability shall not exceed the greater of (i) the royalties collected by Playback on Your behalf during the 12 months leading up to the event incurring liability or (ii) EUR [50,000].

6.3 The liability limitations in this section 6 shall not apply in case of a Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or a Party’s indemnification obligation in accordance with section 6.4.

6.4 You hereby declare that You hold all IPR and/or are in possession of necessary approvals to agree to these T&C and Your use of the Platform. Communication to Collaborators regarding the use of the Platform to manage Your royalty rights is Your sole responsibility. Therefore, Playback shall never be held liable for issues arising out of or related to Your use of the Platform and You shall indemnify Playback against any claims raised by Collaborators or third parties for Your infringement of IPR or Your misrepresentations towards either Playback, Your Collaborators, or any third party.

7.2 At suspension of payments, bankruptcy, or similar proceedings taken by the general body of creditors collectively, as well as composition/rescheduling of debt, is considered a material breach of these T&Cs and entitles the other Party to terminate the T&Cs immediately to the extent that the rules of the Bankruptcy Act do not prevent this.

7.3 If one of the Parties fails to fulfill their obligations to a material extent, the other Party may terminate the T&Cs without the other Party being entitled to compensation.

‍8 Confidentiality‍

8.1 For the purposes of the T&C, "Confidential Information" refers to any non-public, proprietary, or confidential information, whether disclosed orally, in writing, or by any other means, that is provided by one party (the "Disclosing Party") to the other party (the "Receiving Party") during the term of the T&C.
