We strive to bring the latest music and music video to industry professionals. Please read these terms carefully before using our API platform.
When reviewing our Terms of Service, please keep in mind:
- As our subscribers, you are very important to us. It is our desire to work together to give you the tools to access, discover, and manage your music library. Please respect the content of our industry artists and do not
share your subscription with any body.
- We fight for the rights of artists, and their music. We work hard to make sure that all of the music on POOL is fully licensed. This respect manifests itself in what we support in POOL.
Compliance of Terms of Service. Please note that the usage of the POOL API and the documentation is subject to your review and agreement with this Terms of Service agreement. You are not required to
agree to the Terms of Service. However, if you reject the Terms of Service, you do not have any right to use the POOL API Platform. If you use the POOL API Platform, you will be deemed to have accepted these Terms of Service
and entered into a legally binding contract with Promo Only, Inc ("Promo Only", “we”, and “us”).
Other Terms. You should also read our Subscriber Terms and Conditions of Use, our Privacy Policy, and the documentation made available to you on the POOL API Usage website ("Documentation"). If there
is any conflict between the Terms of Service and another of these documents, the Terms of Service shall govern. Please note that if you use any of the POOL API calls (defined below), you shall be bound by the Terms of Service.
Acceptance on Behalf of a Third Party. If you are developing on behalf of an organization, corporation, group, or affiliation, you agree to these Terms of Service for that organization and promise that
you have authority to bind that organization and its parents, subsidiaries, and sister companies to these Terms of Service. In that case, "you" and "your" will refer to that organization, its parents, subsidiaries, and sister companies.
Language. In the event that these Terms of Service are translated into other languages and there is a discrepancy in different languages, the English language version shall prevail to the extent that
such discrepancy is the result of an error in translation.

this Agreement.

undertaken by you or a third party.
Enforcement of Terms of Service. We may enforce these Terms of Service against you, your PDA or Website if we conclude that your PDA or Website violates this Agreement or is negatively impacting the
POOL Platform, POOL Service or POOL Content. We may or may not notify you in advance. Enforcement can include revoking your Security Codes, disabling your PDA, restricting your, and your PDA's, access to the POOL Platform
(including its functionality), requiring you to delete data, terminating our Agreement with you, or any other action that we deem appropriate.

Promo Only deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, without notice. Promo Only may use technical measures to prevent over-usage or stop usage of the POOL Platform.
Monitoring Usage. You agree that Promo Only may monitor your use of, and collect usage data related to, the POOL Platform to ensure quality, improve the POOL Service and verify your compliance with these
terms. You agree not to block or interfere with such efforts and to provide us with reasonable access to information related to your compliance with these Terms of Service. Promo Only may use any technical means to overcome any
interference. At our sole discretion we may request, and you shall provide, proof that your website, product or service and any content within your website, product or service is properly licensed.

VIOLATION OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR VIOLATION OF ANY LAWS, REGULATIONS, OR THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.
DISCLAIMERS. ANY USE OF THE POOL PLATFORM IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE POOL PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. THERE IS NO WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE POOL PLATFORM,

or POOL Content, you release Promo Only and its corporate affiliates and any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, licensors, licensees, assigns or successors, for any and all damages, liabilities,
causes of action, judgments and claims arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. To the extent that California Civil Code 1542 is applicable to you, you waive California Civil Code 1542 with respect to the
foregoing claims described in this paragraph: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his/her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him/her
must have materially affected his settlement with debtor."
Entire Agreement. These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Promo Only with respect to your use of the POOL Platform and supersede any prior agreements, whether oral or
written, concerning the subject matter of these Terms of Service, except and then only to the extent that you have entered into a Separate Agreement. A "Separate Agreement" is a written agreement between and signed by
Promo Only and you governing your use of the POOL Platform.
Changes to the Agreement. We may revise these Terms of Service from time to time and the most current version will always be posted on our website, so please check it regularly. By continuing to access
or use the POOL Platform after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms of Service. If you do not agree to the new terms, you must terminate this Agreement, stop using the POOL Platform, delete all
POOL Content and cease all operation, promotion, distribution and support of all your products and services that rely on the POOL Platform.
Non-exclusive Agreement and Competition. These Terms of Service are a non-exclusive agreement. Please understand that Promo Only and/or other third parties (including other developers) may be developing
and may develop products and services that may be similar to or competitive with your PDA, website or other products or services provided by you. Nothing in these Terms of Service shall in any way restrict or preclude Promo Only
and/or such third parties from creating and fully exploiting such products, services or other business activities without any obligation to you.

in any third parties.
Intellectual Property. Promo Only respects intellectual property rights, and expects you to do the same. The POOL Platform, POOL Service, POOL Content and any Promo Only Marks (our "Intellectual Property")
are the property of Promo Only or Promo Only's licensors and protected by intellectual property rights. You do not have the right to use the Intellectual Property in any manner not covered by this Agreement.

- You may not remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property notice contained in or provided through Promo Only's Intellectual Property.
Confidentiality. In your interactions with Promo Only, you may be given access to certain non-public information, software, specifications, or code ("Confidential Information"), which is confidential and
proprietary to Promo Only. You may use this Confidential Information only as necessary in exercising such rights as are granted to you in these Terms of Service. You may not disclose any of this Confidential Information to any third
party without Promo Only's prior written consent. You further agree that you will protect this Confidential Information from any unauthorized use, access, or disclosure with no less than a reasonable degree of care than your own
confidential information.
Publicity. You may not suggest a partnership with, sponsorship by, or endorsement by Promo Only without Promo Only's prior written approval. You permit Promo Only to make public statements about your use
of the POOL Platform at any time.
Terms. This Agreement begins on either (i) the date you demonstrate your acceptance of the Terms of Service or (ii) when you first use the POOL
Platform, and shall continue until terminated (the "Term") as permitted under these Terms of Service.
- Compliance with the provisions of these Terms of Service is very important. Any licenses contained in these Terms of Service will terminate automatically and without notice if you fail to comply with them.
- We reserve the right to modify, suspend or discontinue the POOL Platform and/or the POOL Service, or to terminate your ability to use the POOL Platform, at any time prior to or after your development of a PDA,
website, product or service, without notice, for any reason or for no reason, without any liability to you or your users.
- Promo Only may terminate these Terms of Service by notice to you of termination or by terminating your ability to use the POOL Platform. You may terminate these Terms of Service by ceasing all use of the POOL Platform
and notifying Promo Only.
- Upon any termination or notice of any discontinuance, you must immediately cease and desist from using the POOL Platform.
Severability. Should for any reason, or to any extent, any provision of these Terms of Service be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or enforceability shall not affect or render invalid
or unenforceable the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service and the application of that provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.
Governing Law and Venue. Unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of a member state of the European Union or any other jurisdiction:
- This Agreement is subject to the law of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles, except to the extent Florida law is preempted by United States Federal Law, including
the Federal Arbitration Act.
- You and Promo Only agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Florida, to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that arises in connection with this Agreement.
No Waiver. The failure or delay by Promo Only to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service or rights under applicable law shall not constitute a waiver of any such provisions
or rights.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND PROMO ONLY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR
REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and Promo Only agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Arbitration. If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in a jurisdiction in which this is enforceable, the following mandatory arbitration provisions apply to you:
- Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. You and Promo Only agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Promo Only arising in connection with or relating in any way to these
Terms of Service or to your relationship with Promo Only as a user of the POOL Platform (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during
or after the termination of these Terms of Service) will be determined by mandatory binding individual arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT
REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney fees), except
that the arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms of Service.
- Exceptions. Notwithstanding clause above, you and Promo Only both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to
(i) bring an individual action in a U.S. small claims court; (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable U.S. federal, state, or local agencies where such actions
are available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
- Arbitration Rules. Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings.If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in the United States, any arbitration between you and
Promo Only will be finally settled under the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then in force (the "AAA Rules"), as modified by these Terms of Service. You and
Promo Only agree that these Agreements affect interstate commerce, so the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply and govern the interpretation and enforcement of this provision (despite the choice
of law provision above). The AAA Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at www.adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Orlando, FL, provided that if the claim is for $5,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (i)
solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by
the AAA Rules in the county of your billing address. The AAA fees will be set by the AAA according to its fee schedules. You and Promo Only will share the AAA fees equally, unless otherwise reallocated by the arbitrator.
If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Promo Only for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the
AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award,
if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the
arbitrator's ruling on the merits.If you are not located in, are not based in, do not have offices in, and do not do business in the United States, any arbitration between you and Promo Only will be finally settled under the
Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC") then in force (the "ICC Rules") by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules, as modified by these Terms of Service, and will
be administered by the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC. Any arbitration will be conducted in the English language and unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of a member state of the European Union or any
other jurisdiction, the law to be applied in any arbitration shall be the law of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles.
- Time for Filing. Any arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with the AAA within ONE (1) YEAR after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should
know of the act, omission, or default giving rise to the claim; and there shall be no right to any remedy for any claim not asserted within that time period. If applicable law prohibits a one-year limitation period for
asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.
- Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do
not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail ("Notice"). Promo Only's address for Notice is: 257 S. Lake Destiny Dr., Orlando, FL, USA. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and
basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do
so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Promo Only may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Promo Only shall not be disclosed to the
arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Promo Only shall pay you (i) the amount
awarded by the arbitrator, if any, (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Promo Only in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator's award; or (iii)
$500.00, whichever is greater. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than
for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of arbitrator's decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.
Except as required to enforce the arbitrator’s decision and award, neither you nor Promo Only shall make any public announcement or public comment or originate any publicity concerning the arbitration, including, but not
limited to, the fact that the parties are in dispute, the existence of the arbitration, or any decision or award of the arbitrator.
- Modifications. In the event that Promo Only makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Promo Only's address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending
us written notice within 30 days of the change to Promo Only's address for Notice, in which case your license under this Agreement shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior
to the amendments you reject, shall survive.
- Enforceability. If the class action waiver is found to be unenforceable in arbitration or if the entirety of this Section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section shall be
null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms of Service.
