Once you have agreed to the terms of this Agreement and provided all information as required by us, you may upload or otherwise submit Content to the Website in accordance with our contributor guidelines.

By uploading or otherwise submitting Content to us, you are offering us rights to the Content subject to the terms of this Agreement. If we accept your offer by posting the Content on the Website, we will have all rights to the accepted Content as set forth herein. Unless otherwise agreed, you will retain legal ownership of your Content, and no copyright ownership or title will be transferred to us.

We have the right in our sole discretion and for any reason to (i) accept or reject any Submitted Content, or (ii) at any time revoke any acceptance of Submitted Content and remove the same from the Website. We will endeavor, but are under no obligation, to notify you of such decision via the Website or by email.

We also will have the right, but not the obligation, to edit, resize, resample, convert, color correct, crop or otherwise composite any Submitted Content to correct what we determine, in our sole discretion, to be an error, misleading statement, malfunction or omission or for purposes of facilitating the marketing, distributing, sale and licensing of the Content. We retain no liability whatsoever for doing, or failing to do, the same. You acknowledge that we are not providing legal advice to you in this, or in any other, regard.

When you submit or upload Audio Content, you are required to designate in the Content Information whether or not the Audio Content is "Available For Musical Works". If you do not make such designation, then you authorize us to make such designation in your place and you agree to be bound by any such designation made by us.

4. Appointment as Distributor and Dealer and Licenses.

You hereby (i) appoint us as your non-exclusive distributor, and (ii) grant us the worldwide non-exclusive right to directly or indirectly, promote, distribute, sell and/or grant broad perpetual, non-exclusive licenses to the Content and to collect and remit fees in connection with those efforts on the terms set forth in this Agreement as well as the NY Clips License Agreement posted by us on the Website. NY Clips will have the worldwide right to use, copy, transmit, broadcast, telecast, perform and publicly display the Content, derivative works thereof, the Content Information, and your name and biographical information for purposes of promoting, advertising, marketing and distributing the Content, you, the Website, us and/or our business (collectively, "Promotional Uses"), including (i) allowing or sublicensing use by our Representatives and/or Resellers and other business partners working with or for us as part of such Promotional Uses and (ii) Promotional Uses as part of joint marketing arrangements between us and Resellers and other business partners. Promotional Uses will not entitle you to any compensation nor create any additional relationship or responsibilities between you and us.

You hereby waive, or have obtained a valid and enforceable waiver of, any "moral rights" related to the Content, including but not limited to the right to be identified as the author of the Content and the right to object to modification of the Content.

You acknowledge that we have no responsibility whatsoever for the compliance by Content Users or any other Person with the terms of the NY Clips License Agreement, or any actions performed by Content Users or any other Person outside of the NY Clips License Agreement, notwithstanding any rights you may have to pursue any such Person at law.

5. Pricing and Payment of Contributor's Fees.

You shall have the option of setting prices for the Content, or may request that we price the Content on your behalf. If you choose to set your own price for the Content, we will only sell rights to the Content to Content Users at the price set by you, provided that (i) we and/or our Resellers may charge an additional amount to certain Content Users, with the net additional payment to us shared with you according to the provisions regarding Contributor Fees below, (ii) if you so agree when submitting your Content, we may allow the Content to be downloaded without charge by Content Users as part of one of our promotions, and (iii) we will have no liability whatsoever for any errors in pricing that are not proved to have been caused primarily and directly by our gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any taxes paid by Content Users will not be paid or passed on to you.

We shall pay the Contributor fifty percent (50%) of the license fees received by us from Content Users for your Content ("Contributor's Fees"). We will pay on or about the 15th of each calendar month for Contributor's Fees accrued on or before the last day of the previous calendar month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may delay any payment to you until (i) we have received the information and documentation that we reasonably determine is needed to verify your identity and to comply with legal requirements, and (ii) a minimum payment set by us, after deductions, is due.

The minimum NY Clips payment to contributors is $100.

To the extent determined by us to be appropriate, payment of Contributor's Fees will be net of: (i) taxes or other withholdings that we determine are required by applicable law; (ii) bad debts or other uncollectible sums; (iii) legal and other reasonable fees incurred in enforcing this Agreement; (iv) fees, charges and/or costs payable to or deducted by financial institutions for the processing of any credit card, debit card, e-check or alternative payment method and/or currency conversion for payments received by us or paid to you in a currency other than U.S. Dollars; (v) refunded payments for Content; and (vi) any amounts owed by you to us under this Agreement or otherwise. We are also entitled to set-off against any amount owing to you, all amounts to which we are or may be entitled under this Agreement, any other agreement or otherwise at law, including withholding amounts as security for any pending or threatened claim relating to any matter which is the subject of a representation, warranty or indemnity under this Agreement.

NY Clips allows the choice of various payment options and links to payment processors (collectively "Payment Processors") on the Website. The Payment Processors are not our agents or subcontractors. In order to use a Payment Processor to process payments from us to you, you must (i) opt in on the Website for payments to you to be paid to you through the Payment Processor and (ii) register and contract with and provide all information required by the Payment Processor. You are solely responsible for, and assume all risks associated with, the choice and usage of the Payment Processor and its (and its contractors' and associated banks' and credit card networks' and payment gateway's) services, acts and omissions. We will be deemed to have met our payment obligations to you by delivering such payment to the Payment Processor with instructions that it be paid to you, unless (and until) such payment is returned to us.

No interest will accrue in the event that we delay payment or refrain from making a payment to you. If at any time we determine that your account has become dormant, we may send you email notice of that determination, at which point we will be entitled to terminate your membership and cancel any funds or payments owed to you, unless you promptly inform us otherwise.

6. Credit Attribution.

We will use reasonable efforts to identify you or the Person identified by you as the copyright owner of the Content. We will also advise, but not necessarily obligate, Content Users to credit you or such copyright owner in the same manner.

7. Performance of a Musical, Dramatic or Literary Work.

You may not submit any Content that is wholly or primarily a recording of a performance of a musical work or a literary or dramatic work (whether Audio Content, an audiovisual work or otherwise) the copyright of which is owned by or licensed on an exclusive basis to another Person unless you have received the written authorization to do so from such owner or exclusive licensee for such submission, said authorization encompassing all necessary rights in such required by this Agreement (collectively, "Required Rights"). You represent and warrant that you have obtained any and all Required Rights and they are included in said license.

8. Performing Rights Organizations; You-Tube.

Without limiting this Agreement, except for reports and royalties that may be due to a PRO with regard to performance of Audio Content that you designate as being PRO Audio Content in the Content Information, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) you agree that no license is required from and no payments or reports are required to be made to you or any PRO relating to the license and distribution of the Content to Content Users by us or the use, performance, synchronization or distribution of such Content by Content Users as permitted by the NY Clips License Agreement and (ii) you waive any rights to any such payment or report.

You may not take any action on or with respect to YouTube (or other networks that allow for the so-called "claiming" or "monetization of content") that would interfere with the ability of Content Users to monetize or collect revenue from any such network with respect to their Works For Distribution.
