The Mobile Software is provided by Jukata through your Service Provider and is subject to your compliance with the terms of this Agreement and your Service Provider Agreement. The Mobile Software, Computer Software, and any other software provided or utilized by Jukata to provide the Member Services are collectively “Jukata Software” and are deemed part of the Services.

(b)           Jukata Software License. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Jukata grants to you a nontransferable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, worldwide license, for your own personal noncommercial use, from internet addresses originating in the United States only, while you are a Member, to (1) access and use the Mobile Service and install and execute the Mobile Software, in executable object code format only, solely on your Mobile and solely for your use of the Mobile Service in accordance with this Agreement and your Service Provider Agreement, and (2) access and use the Computer Service and install and execute the Computer Software, in executable object code format only, solely on your Computers and solely for your use of the Computer Service.

(c)            Open Source Software. Certain items of independent, third-party code that are included with the Jukata Software may be subject to open source licenses (“Open Source Software”). This Open Source Software is licensed under the terms of the applicable license for such Open Source Software. Nothing in this Agreement limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable license for such Open Source Software. In particular, if the Open Source Software is subject to the GNU General Public License (“GPL”), nothing in this Agreement restricts your right to copy, modify, and distribute such Open Source Software. Currently Jukata uses Open Source Software under the following licensees: LAME (www.mp3dev.org) and LGPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.txt). This list may be updated from time to time. Applicable licenses, source code, attributions, and/or other information regarding any such Open Source Software will be provided upon written request to Jukata.

1.3           Your Content.

(a)           Synchronizing and Uploading. The Member Services currently only supports audio files (“Music Files”). The Computer Software, in part, enables you to synchronize and/or upload your Music Files on your Computer through your Account to the Member Services, up to the maximum number of tracks and/or media files set forth on the Website. You are solely responsible for all Music Files, text, data, images, audio files, video files, and other content accessed or uploaded through your Account to the Member Services (“Content”). You represent and warrant that (i) you own a copy of each of your Music Files, (ii) you have the right to synchronize and upload your Music Files to the Member Services and to stream your Music Files back to you, and (iii) your Content does not violate the Acceptable Use Policy (defined below). Because you alone (and not Jukata) are responsible for your Content, you may expose yourself to liability if, for example, your Content violates the Acceptable Use Policy. You assume all risks associated with use of your Content.

(b)           Content License. You hereby grant to Jukata an irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free and fully paid, worldwide license (i) to synchronize and upload your Music Files to the Member Services and to stream your Music Files back to you, each on your behalf, (ii) to reproduce, distribute, publicly display and publicly perform your Music Files as necessary to perform such synchronization, uploading, and streaming on your behalf, and (iii) to reproduce, distribute, publicly display and perform, prepare derivative works of, and otherwise use your Content (other than the Music Files) to provide you the Member Services.

(c)            Security. We make reasonable efforts to protect your Content and Account information through the design of the Services as well as technical means, but no company, including Jukata, can fully eliminate security risks connected to handling data on the Internet and you acknowledge, understand and agree that Jukata therefore cannot and does not guarantee the security of your Content and Account information while it is transmitted over the Internet or stored on the Services.

1.4           Other Products.

(a)           Restore Service. Jukata provides to Members a Music File restore service as described at www.jukata.com/restore_services (such page, the “Restore Service Page” and such services, the “Restore Services”). If you order Jukata’s Restore Service and meet the requirements set forth on the Restore Services Page (e.g., you have not exceeded the maximum number of restores and the file meets certain type and quality requirements, each as described on the Restore Services Page), Jukata will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore each Music File that has been synchronized with or uploaded to your Account for Jukata’s then current fee for the Restore Service as set forth on the Restore Services Page (such fee, the “Restore Service Fee”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Restore Service Fee applies each time you use the Restore Services. As your sole remedy and Jukata’s sole liability for failure to restore all such Music Files, Jukata will provide you a refund of the Restore Service Fee as described on the Restore Services Page. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, EXCEPT FOR A REFUND OF THE RESTORE SERVICE FEE, IN NO EVENT WILL JUKATA BE REQUIRED TO COMPENSATE YOU FOR ANY LOST FILES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE.

(b)           Music. If available and subject to additional terms and conditions, you may order music videos or music files (“Music Products”) from (1) Jukata’s Website, for Jukata’s then-current fee for the Music Product and subject to Jutaka’s then-current terms and conditions of sale; (2) a third party provider’s website, for the provider’s then-current fee for the Music Product and subject to the provider’s then-current terms and conditions of sale; or (3) from a Jukata affiliate’s, for the affiliate’s then-current fee for the Music Product and subject to the affiliate’s then-current terms and conditions of sale.

1.5           Fees and Payment. If you have ordered the Restore Service, you agree to pay the Restore Service Fee. Unless you and Jukata have agreed to an alternate billing arrangement in writing, Jukata will automatically bill the credit card you provided with your order of the Restore Services, for the Restore Service Fee, and will provide you an invoice to the email address in your Account. All fees are non-refundable. Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you are responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies or duties. If any fee cannot be charged to your credit card for any reason, Jukata may invoice you for such unpaid fees. All invoices, if any, shall be due and payable immediately upon receipt. Any amounts not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum legal rate if less.
