Member and Stargaze may be referred to herein each as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties." Defined terms in the singular number shall include the plural and vice versa when the context in which such defined terms are used indicates that such is the intent.
Our Platform enables artistic, creative, and talented individuals to upload audio, video, photographic or other media (respectively, "Artist/s" and "Content") for viewing by prospective agents, managers, producers, talent scouts and other businesses or individuals seeking to engage Artists (collectively, "Industry Members"). Artists and Business Members may be referred to collectively herein as "Members."
We maintain other terms and policies that supplement these Terms, such as our Privacy Policy. If you are under the age of 18, you may only use the Platform with the consent of your parent or legal guardian.
In the event of conflict, the order of precedence from first to last is as follows: (1) Artist Terms with regards to Artists and Business Member Terms with regards to Business Members, (2) this Terms, (3) Privacy Policy, (4) Website Terms of Use.
Terms
1. Stargaze's Provision of the Platform
Stargaze makes the Platform available to Artists and Business Members solely for the purpose of enabling Artists to submit Content to Business Members for the purpose of evaluating mutually beneficial business opportunities between Artists and Business Members, subject to Members' compliance with this Terms and any other applicable agreements between Members and Stargaze. Stargaze may make changes and updates to the Platform and Content curation at any time and for any reason.
2. Artist and Business Member Details
Basic information about Content will be available to all Members on the Platform. Certain information about Content and Business Members may only be available upon request. Such requests may require a requesting Member to provide additional information to Stargaze and/or to a specific Artist or Business Member via the Platform. Access to such information will be approved or rejected in Stargaze's and, as applicable, the Artist's or Business Member's discretion and Artist and Business Member each agree that Stargaze shall have no liability for Stargaze's provision of such access in accordance with an Artist's or Business Member's instructions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stargaze has the right to revoke a Member's access to any such information or Platform feature at any time and for any reason.

As between you and Stargaze, all software, images, text, graphics, illustrations, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, photographs, audio, videos, music on and "look and feel" of the Platform, and all intellectual property rights related thereto (the "Stargaze Property"), are either owned or licensed by Stargaze, it being understood that you or your licensors will own Content you upload to the Platform. Such Stargaze Property, including Content created by users other than you, may not be downloaded, copied, reproduced, distributed, transmitted, broadcast, displayed, sold, licensed or otherwise exploited for any purpose whatsoever without our or, where applicable, our licensors' prior written consent. We and our licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted in and to their Content.
You represent and warrant that you will not use any trademarks, logos, or service marks of Stargaze or the Platform, whether registered or unregistered ("Stargaze Trademarks") unless you are authorized to do so by Stargaze in writing. You agree not to use or adopt any marks that may be considered confusing with the Stargaze Trademarks. You agree not to purchase, register, or use search engine or other pay-per-click keywords (such as Google Ads), trademarks, email addresses, social media names, or domain names (including without limitation top-level domains, sub-domains, and page URLs) that use or include Stargaze or Stargaze Trademarks or that use or include any terms that may be confusing with the Stargaze Trademarks.
You acknowledge and agree that we may generate revenues, increase goodwill or otherwise increase our value from your use of the Platform, including, by way of example and not limitation, through the sale of advertising, sponsorships, promotions, and Competitions (defined below), and except as specifically permitted by us in these Terms or in another agreement you enter into with us, you will have no right to share in any such revenue, goodwill or value whatsoever. You further acknowledge that, except as specifically permitted by us in these Terms or in another agreement you enter into with us, you have no right to receive any income or other consideration from any Content or your use of any musical works, sound recordings or audiovisual clips made available to you on or through the Platform, including in your Content, and (ii) are prohibited from exercising any rights to monetize or obtain consideration for your Content uploaded to the Platform.
Subject to these Terms, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, worldwide license to access and use the Platform, including to download the Platform on a permitted device, and to access the Platform solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Stargaze reserves all rights not expressly granted herein in the Platform and the Stargaze Property. You acknowledge and agree that Stargaze may terminate this license at any time, for any reason or no reason.
STARGAZE DOES NOT GRANT YOU ANY RIGHTS OR LICENSES WITH RESPECT TO SOUND RECORDINGS AND MUSICAL WORKS MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH OR ON THE PLATFORM.
You acknowledge and agree that when you view content provided by others on the Platform, you are doing so at your own risk. The content on our Platform is provided for entertainment purposes and general information only. It is not intended as information or advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from taking, any action on the basis of the content on our Platform.
3.5 User Content
Your uploads of Content to the Platform must be made in accordance with these Terms. In general, Stargaze does not screen, verify or approve Content and the views expressed by our Platform's users do not necessarily represent our views or values. Content that you upload to the Platform will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. When you upload Content to the Platform, you agree and represent that you own that Content, or that you have received all necessary authorizations from, or are authorized by, the owner of any part of the Content to upload it to the Platform and to enable us to use the Content in accordance with these Terms. If you only own the rights in and to a sound or video recording, but not to the underlying musical or videographic works embodied in such recordings, then you must not upload such recordings to the Platform unless you have all authorizations from, or are authorized by, the owner of any part of the Content to upload it to the Platform.
You, or the applicable owner of your Content, continue to own such Content after it is uploaded to our Platform. However, by uploading Content to the Platform, you grant us an unconditional irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully transferable, perpetual worldwide license to use, modify, adapt, reproduce, translate into one or more languages, make derivative works of, publish and/or transmit, and/or distribute, and to authorize other Platform users and other third-parties to view, access, use, download, modify, adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, publish and/or transmit your Content in any format and on any platform, either now known or hereinafter invented.
You further grant us a royalty-free license to use your user name, image, voice, and likeness to identify you as the source of any of your Content; provided, however, that your ability to provide an image, voice, and likeness may be subject to limitations due to age restrictions.
For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted in the preceding paragraphs of this Section include, but are not limited to, the right to reproduce sound recordings (and make mechanical reproductions of the musical works embodied in such sound recordings), and publicly perform and communicate to the public sound recordings (and the musical works embodied therein), all on a royalty-free basis. This means that you are granting us the right to use your Content without the obligation to pay royalties to any third party, including, but not limited to, a sound recording copyright owner (e.g., a record label), a musical work copyright owner (e.g., a music publisher), a performing rights organization (e.g., ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, etc.) (each, a "PRO"), a sound recording PRO (e.g., SoundExchange), any unions or guilds, and engineers, producers or other royalty participants involved in the creation of Content.
3.6 Musical Works and Recording Artists
If you are a composer or author of a musical work and are affiliated with a PRO, then you must notify your PRO of the royalty-free license you grant through these Terms in your Content to us. You are solely responsible for ensuring your compliance with the relevant PRO's reporting obligations. If you have assigned your rights to a music publisher, then you must obtain the consent of such music publisher to grant the royalty-free license(s) set forth in these Terms in your Content or have such music publisher enter into these Terms with us. Just because you authored a musical work (e.g., wrote a song) does not mean you have the right to grant us the licenses required by these Terms. If you are a recording artist under contract with a record label, then you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Platform is in compliance with any contractual obligations you may have to your record label, including if you upload any new recordings through the Platform that may be claimed by your label.
3.7 Waiver of Content-Related Rights
By posting Content to the Platform, you waive any rights to prior inspection or approval of any marketing or promotional materials related to such Content. You also waive any and all rights of privacy, publicity, or any other rights of a similar nature in connection with your Content, or any portion thereof. To the extent any moral rights are not transferable or assignable, you hereby waive and agree never to assert any and all moral rights, or to support, maintain or permit any action based on any moral rights that you may have in or with respect to any Content you upload to the Platform.
We also have the right to disclose your identity to any third parties claiming that Content you uploaded to our Platform constitutes a violation of their intellectual property or privacy rights.
We reserve the right to cut, crop, edit or refuse to publish your Content at our sole discretion. We have the right to remove, disallow, block or delete any posting you make on our Platform for any reason. Accordingly, we recommend that you save copies of Content that you upload to our Platform to ensure that you have permanent access to copies of such Content. We do not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, appropriateness or quality of any Content, and under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any Content. We accept no liability in respect of any Content submitted by users and published by us or by authorized third parties.
3.8 Suspension of Access
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, Stargaze may suspend your access to any portion or all of the Platform for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, because (i) Stargaze reasonably believes that your use of the Platform disrupts or poses a security risk to Stargaze or to any other Members or vendors of Stargaze, (ii) Stargaze reasonably believes that you are using or intend to use the Platform in breach of these Terms, in breach of any other applicable agreement between you and Stargaze, or in violation of applicable law, or (iii) Stargaze's provision of the Platform to you is or becomes prohibited by applicable law. Stargaze will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of profits) that Member may incur as a result of suspension of access to the Platform.
3.9 Platform Availability
We, in our sole discretion may, without advance notice or liability, immediately suspend or terminate the availability of the Platform and/or any user Content, and any elements or features the Platform and Content, in whole or in part, for any reason, in our sole discretion, and without advance notice or liability.
