This agreement (the
"Agreement") is entered into by and between you ("you") and DidYaKnow LLC, d/b/a
Bands.tv, (hereinafter referred to as "Bands.tv") regarding your use of the
Bands.tv service (the "Service"). By using the Service, you are entering into
this Agreement with Bands.tv and indicating that you agree to be bound by these
terms and conditions. If you do not agree with these terms and conditions as
originally stated, please do not use the Service. In addition, when using
particular Bands.tv owned or operated services, you and Bands.tv shall be
subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services, which may
be posted from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby
incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Unless explicitly stated
otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service,
including the release of new Bands.tv properties, shall be subject to the
Agreement.
-
Priority.
This Agreement, in combination with Bands.tv's Privacy Policy (available at
http://bands.tv/alpha/index.php?main_page=privacy), sets forth the terms and
conditions under which Bands.tv makes the Service available to you. In the
event of an inconsistency between this Agreement and Bands.tv's Privacy
Policy, this Agreement shall control.
-
Rights Associated with the Service. The Service is designed to help you find news
and music information that resides on both Bands.tv and on sites not owned
or controlled by Bands.tv. In particular, the Service provides brief
descriptions of news stories, band information, music videos, and upcoming
events to help you identify the music and information of interest to you.
When you select a content item that appears to be interesting, you will be
linked to either a Bands.tv page that contains the full information or to
the source site on which that content appears. Bands.tv owns and retains all
intellectual property rights to the Service; but Bands.tv does not claim
ownership rights to the content, which are instead held by the sites to
which the Service links or other third party providers.
-
The content displayed as results, or linked
to, by the Service are developed by people over whom Bands.tv exercises no
control. The results that appear from Bands.tv's indices are indexed by
Bands.tv's automated machinery and computers, and Bands.tv cannot and does
not screen the sites before including them in the indices from which such
automated search results are gathered. As a result, the Service may display
results and links to sites that some people find objectionable,
inappropriate, or offensive. We cannot guarantee that a Bands.tv page will
not include unintended or objectionable content. Bands.tv assumes no
responsibility or liability under any circumstances for the content of any
site included in any search results or otherwise linked to by the Service.
-
User Platform.
The “User Profile Platform” is a segment of the Bands.tv Service that allows
a user to register with Bands.tv as a “User.” Registering as a User does not
make you an agent or employee of Bands.tv in any way. This Agreement applies
equally to Users and to any Content originating from Users.
A User will be provided access to Bands.tv Content (a collection of bands,
musicians, artists, recommendations, ratings, and videos organized by
locality/zip code and/or by genre and/or band/artist). As a User, you will be
able to select new bands of interest to you from Bands.tv and post reviews
(displayed as comments and ratings) along with your own commentary and/or
criticism about those selected content to the Bands.tv’s website. As part of
your own commentary and/or criticism, you may be permitted to upload, post,
email, transmit or otherwise make available images, and/or hyperlinks related to
those stories, bands, or videos you choose. As a User, you may NEVER add, edit,
delete, modify, or otherwise alter in any way a full band details, and you will
not have access to do so on Bands.tv’s Service unless you are the owner of such
content. You may only upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available
your own comments and/or criticism related to a particular news story. You are
solely responsible for any material originating from you as set forth in the
Content section of this Agreement.
As a User, you will have the ability to choose forums of interest to you from
Bands.tv’s Forums page and Band profile pages and post such forums and profiles
along with your own commentary and/or criticism about them to the Bands.tv Video
and Profile page. As part of your own commentary and/or criticism, you may
upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available images, and/or
hyperlinks related to any forums you choose. You are solely responsible for any
material originating from you as set forth in the Content section of this
Agreement.
As a User, you will have the ability to promote a story to the Bands.tv user
profile page that you alone completely author. You are solely responsible for
any material originating from you as set forth in the Content section of this
Agreement.
As a User, you will have the ability to promote a URL to the Bands.tv Musician
page. You are solely responsible for any material originating from you as set
forth in the Content section of this Agreement.
As a User, you must make sure that any images and/or text that you post or link
to as a URL and/or a hyperlink are under your explicit control. Linking an image
and/or text from another site that is not under your control can often result in
that site changing the contents of what you linked possibly violating this
Agreement. If you choose to post a URL, hyperlink an image and/or any other
content, you do so at your own risk to your account. By hitting the [SUBMIT
BUTTON], you are warranting that you have permission to post an image and/or
hyperlink, even if it is subject to copyright protection. If you submit an image
and/or content that is later alleged to be a copyright infringement, Bands.tv
will remove that image and/or content and comply with all related legal
directives. Bands.tv will comply with any lawful demands related to all
copyrighted work. If the image posted to Bands.tv is posted illegally, Bands.tv
will comply with state and federal law enforcement agencies in any action
regarding the illegally posted image. To the extent Bands.tv is able to identify
persons who are responsible for repeat postings of material in violation of
copyright law or other terms of this Agreement, Bands.tv reserves the right to
terminate accounts of such repeat violators. All rules set forth in the Content
section of this Agreement apply equally to posting images and hyperlinks as well
as all other forms of posting or linking.
-
Registration.
When you register on Bands.tv, you must provide true, accurate and complete

If you are under 13, you may not register to use Bands.tv service.

password. As part of the User registration process, you will be asked to provide
your full name, date of birth, email address, username and password, and a short
description of your interests. You will not be permitted to register as a User
unless you are registered as a Bands.tv User. You, not Bands.tv, will be
responsible for all activities occurring under your username and for keeping
your password secure. Please read Bands.tv’s Privacy Policy
(http://bands.tv/alpha/index.php?main_page=privacy) for additional information
as to Bands.tv’s handling of your personal information. Bands.tv retains the
right to revoke and/or terminate any user’s (including User’s) registration and
all privileges associated with such registration at any time, including for any
violation of this Agreement.

Use of the Service.
You may only display the content of the Service for your own personal use
(i.e., non-commercial use) and may not otherwise copy, reproduce, alter,

product or service; use the Service to increase traffic to your Web site for
commercial reasons, such as advertising sales; take the results from the

Content.
“Content,” as used herein, is all information, data, text, software, music,
sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags, or other materials,
whether publicly posted or privately transmitted. “User Content” is any
Content provided by and/or originating from a Bands.tv user. “User Content”
is any Content provided by and/or originating from a Bands.tv User, a user
who properly registers on the User Platform by providing all necessary
information. As used herein, “Content” refers to both User Content, Video
Content, and Audio Content unless expressly stated otherwise. You understand
that all Content is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such
Content originated. This means that you, and not Bands.tv, are entirely
responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or
otherwise make available via the Service. In this regard, you understand
that Bands.tv does not monitor or control the content of information posted
by others, and instead simply provides a service by allowing users to access
information that has been made available. Because Bands.tv does not control
the Content posted via the Service, Bands.tv does not guarantee the
accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. You acknowledge that by
using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent
or objectionable. Under no circumstances will Bands.tv be liable in any way
for any Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in
any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the
use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available
via the Service. Should Content be found or reported in violation with, but
not limited to, the following terms, it will be Bands.tv’s sole discretion
as to what action should be taken, including suspension and/or termination
of your account.

for any reason, including for example, content that is available via the

perpetual, irrevocable and fully sub-licensable license to use, distribute,
reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly
display such Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content
into other works in any format or medium now known or later developed. The

-
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL BANDS.TV OR ITS
LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO ANY USER (INCLUDING USERS) ON ACCOUNT OF THAT USER'S
USE OR MISUSE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE ARISING FROM ANY CLAIM RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. SUCH LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

ARISE FROM USE OR MISUSE OF AND RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE, FROM INABILITY TO
USE THE SERVICE, OR FROM THE INTERRUPTION, SUSPENSION, OR TERMINATION OF THE

-
Requests for Removal of Links or Cached
Materials. Bands.tv occasionally receives requests from
people to remove links from its indices. Although Bands.tv reserves the
right to address such requests individually, the general approach that
Bands.tv takes reflects the following principles:
Bands.tv's indices consist of information that has been identified, indexed and
compiled through an automated process with no advance review by human beings.
Given the enormous volume of web site information added, deleted, and changed on
a frequent basis, Bands.tv cannot and does not screen anything made available
through its indices. For each web site reflected in Bands.tv's indices, if
either (i) a site owner restricts access to his or her web site or (ii) a site
is taken down from the web, then, upon receipt of a request by the site owner or
a third party in the second instance, Bands.tv would consider on a case-by-case
basis requests to remove the link to that site from its indices. However, if the
operator of the site does not take steps to prevent it, the automatic facilities
used to create the indices are likely to find that site and index it again in a
relatively short amount of time.
-
Hold Harmless and Indemnity. You agree to hold harmless and indemnify
Bands.tv, and its employees, agents and representatives, from and against
any third party claim arising from or in any way related to your use of the
Service, including without limitation any claim or demand, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of
Content (including but not limited to User Content) you submit, post,
transmit or otherwise make available through the Service, your use of the
Service, your connection to the Service, your violation of this Agreement,
or your violation of any rights of another. The foregoing includes, without
limitation, indemnity for any liability or expense arising from all claims,
losses, damages (actual and consequential), suits, judgments, litigation
costs and attorneys' fees, of every kind and nature. In such a case,
Bands.tv will provide you with written notice of such claim, suit or action.
-
Release and Waiver.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby release, and
waive all claims against Bands.tv and its employees and agents from any and
all liability for claims, damages (actual and consequential), costs and
expenses (including litigation costs and attorneys' fees) of every kind and
nature, arising out of or in any way connected with use of the Service. If
you are a California resident, you waive your rights under California Civil
Code § 1542, which states, "A general release does not extend to claims
which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the
time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially
affected his settlement with the debtor." Residents of other states and
nations similarly waive their rights under applicable and/or analogous laws,
statutes, or regulations.
-
Modifications of Terms. Bands.tv shall have the right to modify the
terms of this Agreement at any time, which modification shall be effective
immediately upon posting. Accordingly, we suggest that you check this page
periodically. To make your periodic review more convenient, we will post a
date at the bottom of this page.
-
Intellectual Property Policy. Bands.tv respects the intellectual property
rights of others and endeavors to comply with all applicable US laws
regarding intellectual property. To the extent Bands.tv is able to identify
persons who are responsible for repeat postings of material in violation of
copyright law, Bands.tv reserves the right to terminate accounts of such
repeat infringers. Further, Bands.tv’s policy is to provide attribution for
the content available on the Service by linking to the source of the
content.
-
RSS Content/Iframe.
Bands.tv offers RSS format feeds for each of our webpages, other than the
front page. Access is via the XML button located on the upper right hand
corner on each such page. Attribution (included in each feed) is required as
set forth below.
Bands.tv also offers syndication of its headlines for each of our topical news
pages, other than the front page. Access is via the "Add Headlines" link located
on each page.
The RSS feeds and the Iframe syndication are provided free of charge for use by
individuals and non-profit organizations for personal, non-commercial uses. In
both cases, we require that you provide attribution to Bands.tv. In connection
with the RSS feed, if you provide this attribution in text, please use: "News on
[name of page] from Bands.tv" and a hyperlink to the Bands.tv source page. If
you would prefer to provide this attribution with a graphic, please contact us
so that we may provide you with the Bands.tv logo. Bands.tv attribution is built
into the Iframe graphics, which attribution may not be edited, altered, or
removed. We reserve all rights in and to the Bands.tv name and logo, and your
right to use the Bands.tv name or logo is limited to providing attribution in
connection with these RSS feeds and Iframe. We are also including the provider
of each individual news story in the feed alongside each headline, along with a
hyperlink to that site. Please do not alter this for display. We want our news
providers to be not only attributed for their work but also receive the traffic
from those interested in reading a particular story. Bands.tv also reserves the
right to require you to cease utilizing either the RSS feed and/or the Iframe at
any time for any reason.
-
Miscellaneous.
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable,
such provision shall be deemed superseded by a valid enforceable provision
that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the
remaining provisions shall be enforced. Bands.tv's failure to act with
respect to a breach by you or others does not waive Bands.tv's right to act
with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. The failure of Bands.tv to
exercise or enforce any right or provision of these terms and conditions
shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The section
headings and subheadings contained in this Agreement are included for
convenience only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the terms of this
Agreement. This agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws
of the State of Washington as if made in Washington by two residents of that
state. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement
shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial
arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any such
controversy or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall
not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any
other party. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and unappealable.
The arbitration shall be conducted in Seattle, Washington and judgment on
the arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Bands.tv may at any time
seek injunctions or other forms of equitable relief from any court of
competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any provision hereof, for all
purposes of this Agreement each party shall be and act as an independent
contractor and not as partner, joint venture, agent, employee or employer of
the other and shall not bind nor attempt to bind the other to any contract.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Bands.tv and you
with respect to the subject matter hereof. You agree that, except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, there shall be no
third-party beneficiaries to this agreement.
