Napster Developer Platform Terms of Use

1. Introduction

Welcome and thank you very much for your interest in Rhapsody International Inc.'s ("Napster ") Developer Platform (the "Platform"). The Platform encompasses the Napster API, the Napster SDKs, the Napster Chrome extension, and the Napster Developer Portal, and all future developer products Napster may build. Napster built the Platform to allow developers to integrate their new or existing products with Napster's subscription streaming music service (the "Service"), and the musical works, sound recordings, and associated metadata contained therein, as licensed to the Service from third-party providers (the "Music Content") (such providers, "Music Content Providers").

By CLICKING "I AGREE" OR downloading, implementing, or otherwise using THE NAPSTER PLATFORM, you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Napster DEVELOPER PLATFORM Terms of USE (the "PLATFORM Terms").

Napster reserves the right to amend these Platform Terms from time to time. You should monitor the Napster Developer Portal to ensure that you are aware of any changes to the Platform Terms. In the event that you do not agree with any changes to the Platform Terms, you must immediately cease any and all use of the Platform and Service integration.

These Platform Terms are incorporated into and are subject to the Napster Terms of Use, Napster Privacy Policy, and Napster End User License Agreement (the "Napster Policies"). Your use of the NAPSTER PLATFORM and the Service is subject at all times to Napster. By using the NAPSTER PLATFORM, you agree that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the Napster Policies.

2. Eligibility

YOU HEREBY REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE ALL AUTHORITY NECESSARY TO BIND YOURSELF TO THESE PLATFORM TERMS. If, at any time, you do not agree to these PLATFORM Terms, then you ARE no longer granted a license to use NAPSTER'S PLATFORM, and must discontinue all uses of the NAPSTER PLATFORM.

IF YOU ARE USING THE NAPSTER PLATFORM ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY, ENTITY, OR ORGANIZATION (COLLECTIVELY, A "SUBSCRIBING ORGANIZATION"), THEN YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU: (A) ARE AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THAT SUBSCRIBING ORGANIZATION WITH THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ORGANIZATION TO THESE PLATFORM TERMS; (B) HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE PLATFORM TERMS; AND (C) AGREE TO THESE PLATFORM TERMS ON BEHALF OF SUCH SUBSCRIBING ORGANIZATION.

If you are a developer or a developer working on behalf of a Subscribing Organization that (a) itself or any of its affiliates operates or otherwise is integrated with (i) an application, product or service that is intended to permit or permits unauthorized access to or otherwise infringes or violates the intellectual property rights of others (an "Unauthorized Purpose"), or (ii) is used for the Unauthorized Purpose by a material number of persons and/or in respect of a material volume of content, or (iii) is predominantly used for the Unauthorized Purpose, or (iv) is advertised as being capable of use for the Unauthorized Purpose; or (b) is, either directly or indirectly, including through affiliates, a direct competitor of a Music Content Provider, then you are not eligible for the NAPSTER PLATFORM.

3. Conditions of Use; Account Creation

To access and use the NAPSTER PLATFORM, you must create an account (an "Account") by registering at the Napster Developer Portal and providing Napster with current, complete, and accurate information about you, your Subscribing Organization (if any) and Your Application (as defined below).

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials, including unique API keys, provided by Napster to you ("Credentials"). You may only access your Account with the Credentials provided to you by Napster and you will be fully responsible and liable for all activities that occur through the use of your Credentials. You agree to notify Napster immediately at api-feedback@napster.com of any unauthorized use of your Credentials, or any other breach of security with respect to your account on the Service. Napster will not be liable for any losses, damages or claims arising from unauthorized use of your Credentials.

All information collected by Napster during your registration for the NAPSTER PLATFORM will be used in accordance with the Napster Privacy Policy. Any information collected by you about any Napster User (as defined below) must be handled in a manner consistent with the Napster Privacy Policy.

4. License Grant, Platform Use and Monitoring

The NAPSTER PLATFORM allows you to create certain compatibility between an application, service or product created by you ("Your Application") and the Service. Use of the NAPSTER PLATFORM with Your Application must be limited to registered paying and free trial subscribers of the Service (each, a "Napster User") and may only be used in conjunction with the Service.

Subject to the terms and conditions of these Platform Terms and during the term of these Platform Terms, you are hereby granted a limited, nonexclusive, non-sublicensable, nonassignable (except as authorized herein), freely revocable license to access and use the NAPSTER PLATFORM (and any supporting documentation provided by Napster ) solely for the purpose of developing Your Application to display and transmit the Service and Music Content to Napster Users (e.g., for enabling subscription-based streaming via the Service). All rights not expressly granted to you herein are reserved by Napster and Music Content Providers, as applicable.

Napster may at any time change the specifications of or restrict or limit access to the NAPSTER PLATFORM in Napster's sole discretion, without any liability to you. Your right to access and use the NAPSTER PLATFORM is a privilege, which may be revoked by Napster at any time, without or without notice. You acknowledge and agree that Napster may use any technological means to enforce these Platform Terms.

If you do receive permission to use the name, marks or logos of Napster or a Music Content Provider, you must not use them in any manner that creates a false suggestion, either directly or indirectly, that Your Application is sponsored by Napster or such Music Content Provider or an "official" Napster or Music Content Provider application.

CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF YOU RESIDE IN SUCH A JURISDICTION, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS OF WARRANTIES, REMEDIES OR LIABILITY CONTAINED IN THESE PLATFORM TERMS APPLY TO YOU TO THE FULLEST EXTENT SUCH LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS ARE PERMITTED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE JURISDICTION WHERE YOU ARE LOCATED.

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEGE THAT AS USED IN THIS SECTION 17, THE TERM Napster INCLUDES NAPSTER'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, LICENSORS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, MUSIC CONTENT PROVIDERS), AND SUBCONTRACTORS.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you and Napster acknowledge and agree that (a) the provisions hereof that limit liability, disclaim warranties, or exclude consequential damages or other damages or remedies will be severable and independent of any other provisions and will be enforced as such, regardless of any breach or other occurrence, and (b) all limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties, and exclusions of consequential damages or other damages or remedies will remain fully valid, effective, and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, even under circumstances that cause any exclusive remedy under this Agreement to fail of its essential purpose.

18. Waiver

The failure of Napster to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Platform Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Platform Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by Napster.

19. Severability

If any provision of these Platform Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated from these Platform Terms to the minimum extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

20. Assignment

You may not transfer or assign these Platform Terms or any of the rights or licenses granted under these Platform Terms, except in the case of a merger or sale of all or substantially all of your assets if you are a corporate or other similar entity.

It is acknowledged that these Platform Terms were initially prepared by Napster. However, you acknowledge and agree that you had an opportunity to have a lawyer review and counsel you regarding these Platform Terms prior to accepting these Platform Terms, even if you chose not to consult a lawyer.
