illustrations, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, photographs, audio, videos, music on
and “look and feel” of the Services, and all intellectual property rights related thereto (the “Sazalem

Sazalem Content or materials on the Services for any purpose not expressly permitted by these Terms is

At Own Risk. You acknowledge and agree that when you view content provided by others on the
Services, you are doing so at your own risk. The content on our Services is provided for general
information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. You must obtain
professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of the content
on our Services.
Disclaimers. We make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that any
Sazalem Content (including User Content) is accurate, complete or up to date. Where our Services
contain links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your
information only. We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources. Such links should not
be interpreted as approval by us of those linked websites or information you may obtain from them. You
acknowledge that we have no obligation to pre-screen, monitor, review, or edit any content posted by you
and other users on the Services (including User Content).
USER CONTENT
User Content. Users of the Services may be permitted to upload, post or transmit or otherwise make
available content through the Services including, without limitation, any text, photographs, user videos,
sound recordings and the musical works embodied therein (“User Content”). The information and
materials in the User Content have not been verified or approved by us. The views expressed by other
users on the Services do not represent our views or values.
Content Standards. Whenever you access or use a feature that allows you to upload or transmit User
Content through the Services (including via certain third-party social media platforms such as Instagram,
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter), or to make contact with other users of the Services, you must comply with
the standards set out at “Access to and Use of the Platform and Services” above. You may also choose
to upload or transmit your User Content on sites or platforms hosted by third parties. If you decide to do
this, you must comply with their content guidelines as well as with the standards set out at “Access to and
Use of the Platform and Services” above. As noted above, these features may not be available to all
users of the Services, and we have no liability to you for limiting your right to certain features of the
Services. You warrant that any such contribution does comply with those standards, and you will be liable
to us and indemnify us for any breach of that warranty. This means you will be responsible for any loss or
damage we suffer as a result of your breach of warranty. Any User Content will be considered non-
confidential and non-proprietary.
No Endorsement or Verification. The Sazalem platform contains access to third-party content, products
and services, and it offers interactions with third parties. Participation or availability on the Sazalem
platform does not amount to endorsement or verification by us. We make no warranties or
representations about the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any content posted on the Sazalem
platform by anyone.
No Confidential or Proprietary Content. You must not post any User Content on or through the Services
or transmit to us any User Content that you consider to be confidential or proprietary. When you submit
User Content through the Services, you agree and represent that you own that User Content, or you have
received all necessary permissions, clearances from, or are authorized by, the owner of any part of the
content to submit it to the Services, to transmit it from the Services to other third-party platforms, and/or
adopt any third-party content.
Ownership and License of User Content. You or the owner of your User Content still own the copyright in
User Content sent to us, but by submitting User Content via the Services, you hereby grant us an
unconditional irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully transferable, perpetual worldwide license to
use, modify, adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, publish and/or transmit, and/or distribute and to
authorize other users of the Services and other third-parties to view, access, use, download, modify,
adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, publish and/or transmit your User Content in any format and
on any platform, either now known or hereinafter invented.
Name and Likeness. You further grant us a royalty-free license to use your username, image, voice, and
likeness to identify you as the source of any of your User Content; provided, however, that your ability to
provide an image, voice, and likeness may be subject to limitations due to age restrictions.
Special Provisions Regarding Music
Where Only Sound Recording Rights Are Provided. If you only own the rights in and to a sound recording,
but not to the underlying musical works embodied in such sound recordings, then you must not post such
sound recordings to the Services unless you have all permissions, clearances from, or are authorized by,
the owner of any part of the content to submit it to the Services.
Rights of Music Stakeholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted in the preceding paragraphs
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 User 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.) (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 User Content.
Third parties also include Kaz Amanat.
Specific Rules for 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 User 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 User 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 in 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 Services is in compliance with any contractual
obligations you may have to your record label, including if you create any new recordings through the
Services that may be claimed by your label.
Waiver of Rights to User Content. By posting User Content to or through the Services, you waive any
rights to prior inspection or approval of any marketing or promotional materials related to such User
Content. You also waive any and all rights of privacy, publicity, or any other rights of a similar nature in
connection with your User 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 User Content you post to or through the Services.
Third Party Claims. We also have the right to disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that
any User Content posted or uploaded by you to our Services constitutes a violation of their intellectual
property rights, or of their right to privacy.
Reserved Rights to Edit User Content. We, or authorized third parties, reserve the right to cut, crop, edit
or refuse to publish, your content at our or their sole discretion. We have the right to remove, disallow,
block or delete any posting you make on our Services if, in our opinion, your post does not comply with
the content standards set out at “Your Access to and Use of the Platform and Services” above. In
addition, we have the right – but not the obligation – in our sole discretion to disallow, block or delete any
User Content (i) that we consider in violation of these Terms, or (ii) in response to complaints from other
users or third parties, with or without notice and without any liability to you. As a result, we recommend
that you save copies of any User Content that you post to the Services on your personal device(s) in the
event that you want to ensure that you have permanent access to copies of such User Content. We do
not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, appropriateness or quality of any User Content, and under no
circumstances will we be liable in any way for any User Content.
Restricted Availability. You control whether your User Content is made publicly available on the Services
to all other users of the Services or only available to people you approve. To restrict access to your User
Content, you should select the privacy setting available within the Platform. We accept no liability in
respect of any content submitted by users and published by us or by authorised third parties.
FEEDBACK
Feedback. While we are continually working to improve the Services and Platform, we pay close attention
to the feedback, comments, and suggestions we receive from the user community. If you choose to
contribute by sending us any ideas for products, services, features, modifications, enhancements, content
(such as audio, visual, games, or other types of content), promotions, strategies, or product/feature
names, or any related documentation, artwork, or other materials (collectively “Feedback”), then
regardless of what your accompanying communication may say, the following terms will apply, so that
future misunderstandings can be avoided.
No Obligations. Accordingly, by sending Feedback to us, you agree that Sazalem has no obligation to
review, consider, or implement your Feedback, or to return to you all or part of any Feedback for any
reason. Feedback is to be provided on a non-confidential basis, and we are not under any obligation to
keep any Feedback you send confidential or to refrain from using or disclosing it in any way; and
Feedback License. You irrevocably grant us perpetual and unlimited permission to reproduce, distribute,
create derivative works of, modify, publicly perform (including on a through-to-the-audience basis),
communicate to the public, make available, publicly display, and otherwise use and exploit the Feedback
and derivatives thereof for any purpose and without restriction, free of charge and without attribution of
any kind, including by making, using, selling, offering for sale, importing, and promoting commercial
products and services that incorporate or embody Feedback, whether in whole or in part, and whether as
provided or as modified. You irrevocably authorize and instruct us to automatically charge the applicable
fees for a service plan at the beginning of each recurring period using the applicable payment method.
The payment method includes credit card, debit card, or ACH transfer.
INDEMNITY
You hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sazalem and its officers, directors, owners, agents,
information providers, affiliates, licensors and licensees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and
against any and all liability and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by
the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim arising out of: (a) any breach by you or any user of
your account of these Terms or the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants; or (b) your

ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER
This section includes an arbitration agreement and an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an
individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). Please read it carefully.
You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by following the opt out procedure described below.
Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and Sazalem, you will
first contact Sazalem and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to
more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action.
Arbitration Agreement. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute,
controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of Sazalem’s services and/or
products, including the Services, or relating in any way to the communications between you and Sazalem
or any other user of the Services, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. This mandatory arbitration
agreement applies equally to you and Sazalem. However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern
any Claim by Sazalem for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Services that is
unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms or (b) bar you from making use of
applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases. If you are an individual you may opt out of
this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of the first of the date you access or use this Services by
following the procedure described below.
Federal Arbitration Act. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and
enforcement of this provision, and that you and Sazalem are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to
participate in a class action. This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms.
If you are a resident of the U.S.:
Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach,
termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or
applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration San Jose, CA before one
arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules
and Procedures. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause
shall not preclude parties from seeking
If you are not a resident of the U.S.:
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, including the formation,
interpretation, breach or termination thereof, including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable, will be
referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the JAMS International Arbitration
Rules. The tribunal will consist of a sole arbitrator. The seat of the arbitration will be San Jose, California,
USA. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings will be English. Judgment upon the award
rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Opt-Out. If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with Sazalem and you are an individual, you may opt out
of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to legal@ within thirty (30) days of the first of the date
you access or use the Services.
Class Action Waiver. Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as
a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar
proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any
forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate
similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the
arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void,
or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The
parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a
party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually,
through arbitration. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the
Arbitration Agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or
injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to
provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather
than in arbitration, you and Sazalem each waive any right to a jury trial.

consumer rights notice: The Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the

MISCELLANEOUS
Entire Agreement. These Terms represent the entire agreement and understanding between the parties.

concerning this subject matter. No amendments or modifications shall be binding upon either party unless
made in writing and signed by us and you.
Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms or to respond to a breach by you or other
parties shall not in any way constitute a waiver of our right to enforce subsequently any terms or
conditions of these Terms or to act with respect to similar breaches.
Severability. If a provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, that provision
will be deemed severable and shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as
nearly as possible, the intention of the parties. The validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions
will not be affected and such provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
