Disclaimers; No Warranties; Release.

·       No Warranties. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY PARTIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, WITH RESPECT TO ALL RECORDS, FINAL PRODUCTS, AND MATERIALS MADE AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH CollaboMe.

·       "As is" and "As available" and "With All Faults". YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT USE OF COLLABOME AND ALL CONTRIBUTIONS, FINAL PRODUCTS, AND MATERIALS IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. HITRECORD, AND ANY DATA, INFORMATION, THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE, RECORDS, FINAL PRODUCTS, MATERIALS, THIRD PARTY SITES, SERVICES, OR APPLICATIONS MADE AVAILABLE IN CONJUNCTION WITH OR THROUGH HITRECORD, ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" BASIS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

By this we mean that Company cannot breach these Terms and expect you to have released us for such breach as a result of your agreeing to the Released Claims. By way of example and not limitation, if Company fails to share certain profits (if any) with you derived from the monetization of your Contributions in accordance with the Monetized Final Product Terms, the Company would be in breach of these Terms and could not defend itself by claiming that you have Released Claims against Company for such breach. For the further avoidance of doubt and by way of example and not limitation, however, the Released Claims include any Use of your Contribution by an artist, contribution label, music publisher, television or cable network, production company, movie or television studio, or streaming service sublicensed by Company pursuant to these Terms for Uses authorized in these Terms.
