LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR GC MUSIC SONGWRITER TRACKS
(“Agreement”)
By purchasing a single track from GC Music
Songwriter Tracks or any number of tracks (the“Track(s)”) whether on
a Compact Disc or through downloading or any other means,
the purchaser (“Purchaser”) agrees that Purchaser’s rights to use the
Track(s) will be governed by the terms of this agreement (the
“Agreement”). As described below, Purchaser will receive a license to
use the Track(s) for the sole purpose of demonstrating lyrics,
melodies and/or instrumentals and for no other purpose and GC Music
retains all intellectual property rights to the Track(s).
In exchange for the price Purchaser is paying for
the Track(s) and agreement to the terms herein, GC Music will provide
the Track(s) to the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees that:
GC Music provides the Track(s) to Purchaser for use
in the promotion of Purchaser’s demonstration materials and for no
other purpose. This means that Purchaser may use theTrack(s) in
demonstrating lyrics, melodies and/or instrumentals. When so used,
the Track(s) may be reproduced as background tracks to the lyrics,
melodies and/or instrumentals for demonstration purposes only.
However, the Track(s) may under no circumstances be reproduced
themselves, without accompanying lyrics, melodies and/or
instrumentals.
Purchaser may not sell the Track(s) in any form
(altered or unaltered) or allow them to be broadcast for commercial
gain but may only use the Track(s) to demonstrate lyrics,
melodies and/or instrumentals. Thus, if Purchaser was to record
lyrics, melodies and/or instrumentals over the Track(s), Purchaser
could not sell the resulting recording or allow it to be broadcast
for a fee of any kind, but could only use it to demonstrate (as a
“demo”) the lyrics, melodies and/or instrumentals. Thus, no product
containing the Track(s) in any form (altered or unaltered) may be
sold by the Purchaser or used to earn any kind of fee or royalty.
Because use of the Track(s) is limited to
demonstrating materials, Purchaser may not use the Track(s) for
commercials, movies, television, or master recording of any kind.
GC Music is providing the Track(s) to Purchaser on a
royalty-free basis NON-exclusively. This means that GC Music
continues to retain the right to sell the use of the Track(s) to any
person to use for any purpose at any time. Thus, others will be
using the Track(s) for the same purposes Purchaser may use the
Track(s) and Purchaser may not in any way infringe or restrict the
use of this material by others who have purchased a license to use
the material.
This is a NON-transferable license, which means that
Purchaser may not assign, sub-license or sub-contract any of its
rights under the agreement to a third party.
By purchasing the right to use the Track(s),
Purchaser does NOT purchase any right to ownership of any
intellectual property rights in the Track(s). Ownership of all
copyrights remains with GC Music and Purchaser shall not claim
otherwise.
Purchaser and GC Music agree irrevocably to submit
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Davidson County, Tennessee
Circuit Courts or General Sessions Court, or the United States
District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee at the option of
the party filing any complaint or action for any claim or matter
arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the legal
relationships established by this Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding of the Purchaser and GC Music and no variation of this
agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by or on
behalf of Purchaser and GC Music.
If any provision of this Agreement shall be found by
any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
not affect the other provisions of this agreement which shall remain
in full force and effect.
