Terms of Service

1. Introduction, Overview, and Your Agreement

These terms of service (and any other terms or information incorporated into them by reference) (collectively the "Terms") govern your access and use of Soundverse Inc.’s and SonicLabs AI Private Limited’s ("Soundverse," "we," or "us") website, located at https://soundverse.ai/ (the "Site"), and the products, tools, applications, and services made available through it (together with the Site, the "Services"). These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with Soundverse for products, services, or otherwise.

The Terms incorporate by reference the Soundverse Licensing Model, available at https://help.soundverse.ai/faqs/licensing-model (the "Licensing Model"), which describes the usage rights attached to each subscription plan and Custom License. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the Licensing Model with respect to the scope of a usage license, the Licensing Model prevails to the extent of the conflict.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES, AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, THE OWNERSHIP AND CLEARANCE OF GENERATED CONTENT, AND OUR COPYRIGHT AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

By accessing or using the Services, you signify that you: (1) have the legal capacity to comply with and agree to comply with these Terms; (2) are not a minor in the jurisdiction in which you reside; and (3) will use any Output commercially only to the extent permitted by your subscription plan, the applicable clearance tier, and any Custom License you have purchased, as described in Sections 4 through 7 and in the Licensing Model. If you do not meet (1) or (2), or do not agree to (3), you are not authorised to access or use the Services.

2. Your Information

For information concerning how and why we might collect, store, use, and/or share your personal information when you visit the Site, please read and review our Privacy Policy.

3. Your Rights to Use the Services; Our Content and Intellectual Property Rights

Subject to these Terms, Soundverse grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, and personal license to access and use the Services. Your rights to use, publish, monetise, and distribute Output are not unlimited: they are determined by your subscription plan, the clearance tier of the relevant Output (Section 4), your authorship status in the Output (Section 5), and any Custom License you hold (Section 6).

Unless otherwise expressly indicated by Soundverse, all content displayed or made available on the Site, including without limitation, text, images, illustrations, designs, logos, domain names, service marks, software, scripts, and the selection, compilation and arrangement of any of the foregoing is owned by Soundverse, its affiliates, licensors and/or other third parties ("Site Content"). The Site and all Site Content are protected by copyright, trade dress, trademark, moral rights, and other intellectual property laws in the United States, the United Kingdom, India, and other international jurisdictions. All such rights are reserved.

All registered and unregistered trademarks, logos, usage paradigms and service marks are the property of Soundverse and/or their respective owners. Nothing displayed or accessed in connection with the Services shall be construed as granting by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any trademark, logo, or service mark displayed in connection with the Services without the owner’s prior written permission, except as otherwise described herein.

4. The Spectrum of Creation: Provenance and Clearance

AI-assisted music sits on a continuous spectrum between fully machine-authored and fully human-authored work. Soundverse classifies every piece of Output on that spectrum using the framework in this Section 4. Two independent questions apply to every track: (a) how much of it was authored by a human (which determines ownership, Section 5); and (b) whether it is clear of third-party rights (which determines whether it may be distributed, Section 7). These are separate questions. A fully human track built on a copyrighted sample may not be distributed; a fully AI track built only on Soundverse models may be. You agree that Soundverse may evaluate, classify, gate, and record your Output under this framework.

4.1 Provenance Signature

Each track produced through the Services carries a provenance record (a "Provenance Signature") describing, for each of the following axes, how the relevant element originated: (i) Lyrics; (ii) Composition; (iii) Voice and likeness; (iv) Source stems; and, for collaborative projects, (v) People (contributors and their consents). Any axis value that reflects an uncleared third-party right, for example third-party copyrighted lyrics, a copyrighted reference melody, an unlicensed real person’s voice, or stems taken from a protected recording, constitutes a "Taint."

4.2 Clearance Tiers

Based on its Provenance Signature, each track is assigned one of three clearance tiers:

4.3 The Weakest-Link Rule

Most tracks are built in multiple steps: generation, inpainting, added stems, voice swaps, extensions, and mastering, whether performed conversationally through Agent One or manually in AI Studio. Each operation is recorded in the track’s provenance ledger. The final clearance tier of a track equals the minimum tier across every operation and input in its lineage. Clearance only travels downward: a later step can never restore a tier that an earlier step destroyed.

Editing does not launder rights. Inpainting, region edits, extensions, effects, mastering, stem separation, and similar operations inherit the tier of the material they operate on. They can preserve a clean track; they cannot clean an infringing one. Writing your own lyrics over a copyrighted melody, humming or programming a protected hook yourself, translating copyrighted lyrics, or separating stems from a protected master does not create a distributable work.

The reference is the risk. For any tool that accepts an uploaded reference, motif, source track, or target voice, the uploaded material determines the clearance outcome. If the reference or source is a third-party copyrighted work, the resulting Output is treated as a derivative work and classified RED unless you hold and provide the necessary license.

5. Output Ownership; Ownership Follows Your Tier

As between you and Soundverse, and subject to your compliance with these Terms and applicable law, excluding any third-party material you include, you own all right, title, and interest in and to the audio and other content generated for you by the Services ("Output"), to the extent such rights exist and subject to the tier-based qualifications in this Section 5 and the master ownership terms in Section 6.1. Soundverse and its licensors retain all rights in and to the Platform, models, software, and datasets, and, except as provided in Section 6.1, in and to the master recordings of Output.

Your ownership of, and your commercial rights in, any given Output are determined by the tier you are on. Two tiers apply together: (a) your authorship tier in the specific Output, which determines what is legally ownable; and (b) your subscription plan and license tier, which determines the scope of the usage rights Soundverse grants you. The Licensing Model (https://help.soundverse.ai/faqs/licensing-model) sets out the plan and license tiers in detail.

5.1 Authorship Tiers

Copyright protection requires human authorship. Soundverse classifies each project into one of three authorship statuses based on the contributions that are audible in the final rendered track:

For clarity: writing a text prompt, pressing generate, accepting an AI default take, making trivial parameter changes (tempo, volume, trims, format conversion), or approving or commissioning work does not, by itself, constitute human authorship. The more original human expression you contribute, the more of the Output you can own and enforce. Soundverse encourages you to add genuine human creativity to work you intend to commercialise.

5.2 License You Grant to Soundverse to Run the Services

You grant Soundverse a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, cache, encode, reproduce, process, transmit, display, perform, and otherwise use your User Content and Output solely (a) to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Services for you (for example, to render, remix, export, store, and deliver your projects); (b) to compute, record, and audit Provenance Signatures, clearance tiers, provenance ledgers, and release stamps as described in Sections 4 and 7; and (c) to comply with law and enforce our policies. Any broader use (for example, for model improvement) is governed by the Privacy Policy and your settings and choices there.

5.3 Third-Party Rights

You are responsible for ensuring your User Content and Output do not infringe the rights of others. Ownership in Output does not include any rights in third-party works you upload or prompt to be reproduced, nor does it include any rights in another person’s voice, name, or likeness. A Taint on any provenance axis excludes the tainted element from your ownership and may block distribution of the entire track under the weakest-link rule.

5.4 Plan-Specific Licenses

Certain plans include additional Output licenses or restrictions (commercial rights, attribution requirements, or asset packs). The plan and license terms in the Licensing Model (https://help.soundverse.ai/faqs/licensing-model) are incorporated by reference and prevail to the extent they expressly modify this Section 5.

6. Licenses and Commercial Use by Plan

The scope of your right to use Output commercially depends on your subscription plan and any Custom License you purchase. The authoritative and current description of each license is the Licensing Model at https://help.soundverse.ai/faqs/licensing-model. The summary below is provided for convenience:

• Free Trial / Free Plan. Non-commercial use only. You may not monetise Output generated on a free plan.
• Creator Plan. Royalty-free usage of Output as part of your content (for example videos, podcasts, streams, advertisements, client videos, websites, and events as background music), provided the music itself does not become the final standalone product. Sample Usage and Full Ownership rights may be added by purchasing a Custom License.
• Pro Plan. Royalty-free usage plus a Sample Usage License by default, permitting distribution of Soundverse-generated samples as part of your own creations, including to DSPs, provided the sample does not constitute the entirety of the final track. Full Ownership may be added by purchasing a Custom License.
• Max Plan (Tiers x1 through x5). Includes all rights granted under the Pro Plan and, in addition, permits distribution of Soundverse tracks, including distribution to DSPs through the Services, subject at all times to the clearance tier of the track (Section 4), the Distribute gate (Section 7), and the human contribution requirement below. Track volume, credit, and feature limits vary by Max tier (x1 through x5) as described in the Licensing Model and the subscription screen.
• Custom Licenses. A Sample Usage License permits use of generated samples within your own creations; samples may not be resold standalone or packaged into sample packs. A Full Ownership License grants you the right to reproduce, perform, and redistribute the licensed Output, including where the music itself is the final product. Pricing is calculated on the duration of unique AI-generated or AI-processed content as described in the Licensing Model.
• Enterprise Tier. Includes all usage licenses, including Sample Usage and Full Ownership, under a separately negotiated agreement.

Human contribution requirement for music distribution. You may not distribute purely AI-generated Output to music streaming services (such as Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music) as standalone music. Your final composition must include genuine human contribution, consistent with the authorship tiers in Section 5.1 and the distribution gates in Section 7. Individual DSPs apply their own policies, which may be stricter.

Fully human-authored tracks. A track that is fully human-authored, meaning no AI generation or AI processing was used in its creation, is eligible for distribution under any paid tier, subject to the clearance tier of the track (Section 4), the consent and authority requirements of Section 7, and platform policies. For clarity, clearance still applies: a fully human track that contains an uncleared third-party right (for example, a copyrighted sample) remains blocked from distribution.

Soundverse monitors commercial platforms for use of Soundverse-generated content. Output used commercially without the required plan, tier, or Custom License may be reported for removal, and repeat violations may result in suspension or termination of your account.

6.1 Master Ownership

Unless you have purchased the master rights in a track under a separate written agreement and for a separate fee, ownership of the master recording of Output generated through the Services sits with Soundverse. Your rights in such Output are the usage and distribution rights granted under your plan, tier, or Custom License, together with any copyright you hold in your own human contributions under Section 5. The fee for a master purchase is not fixed and depends on multiple factors, including without limitation the extent of AI generation or processing in the track, the applicable clearance tier and any encumbrances, the intended use, and the commercial terms of the release. For information about purchasing master ownership, please contact sales@soundverse.ai.

7. Distribution and the Distribute Gate

Distribution means pushing a track out of the Services to digital service providers, social platforms, or licensees for public consumption or monetisation. Distribution eligibility is determined by the clearance tier of the track computed under the weakest-link rule, together with the additional gates below.

• GREEN tracks are eligible for distribution upon your standard originality attestation.
• AMBER tracks are eligible only after the applicable condition is satisfied: uploading the relevant license or consent record, completing an originality attestation, and/or accepting the applicable royalty split (for example, a licensed artist royalty logged through TRACE). The encumbrance attaches to the release.
• RED tracks are blocked from distribution. No override is available. You will be shown the tainted element and a cure path: remove or replace the tainted input, or obtain and upload the required license, and regenerate the affected steps.

7.1 Collaborative Projects

Where more than one human contributes to a project in AI Studio, distribution additionally requires: (a) the identification of every stakeholder whose expressive or arrangement contribution is audible in the final rendered track; (b) each such stakeholder’s consent to commercial release and acceptance of the agreed revenue split; and (c) release authority held by the person initiating distribution. Consent is scoped: agreeing to collaborate in a session is not agreement to commercial release. A performer holds rights in their recorded performance even where they wrote nothing. Soundverse proposes splits from the contribution ledger but does not arbitrate disputes between collaborators; distribution remains blocked until all stakeholders have agreed or the unconsented contributions have been removed.

AI agents, including Agent One, are not authors, receive no split, and hold no veto. However, material introduced into a project by an AI agent at your direction (for example, an external reference pulled into a session) can introduce a Taint, and responsibility for the resulting clearance outcome rests with the project owner.

7.2 AI Disclosure and Release Records

Where AI materially contributed to a track, you may be required to acknowledge an AI-content disclosure before distribution, and Soundverse may label the release accordingly where required by law or platform policy. Each release is stamped with its provenance ledger, clearance tier, splits, and disclosure status so that takedowns, audits, and royalty runs can be traced.

7.3 Protection of the Distribution Pipeline

A single infringing or non-compliant track distributed through Soundverse can trigger content matches, takedowns, chargebacks, and, at scale, jeopardise Soundverse’s distributor relationships for all users. You agree that the gates in this Section 7, including a minimum human-authorship requirement for one-click distribution to DSPs, are account-level and catalogue-level safety mechanisms, and that Soundverse may decline, delay, or revoke distribution of any track that fails them.

8. Voice, Likeness, and Personality Rights

A person’s voice, name, and likeness are protected by rights of publicity and personality rights that are separate from copyright. A track can be fully original in composition and still violate these rights. Accordingly:

• You may train voice or instrument models only on your own voice or performances, or on the voice of another real, identifiable person with their recorded, release-scope consent on file.
• Artist DNA models. You may not create a DNA model of any person or artist unless you own or hold the necessary rights in that person’s voice, likeness, and the training material. Creating a DNA model of an artist you do not have rights to is prohibited, regardless of intent, and any such model and all of its outputs will be classified RED and may be quarantined or deleted without notice.
• Voice swaps to a real artist’s voice are permitted only through licensed artist models (including Artist DNA models), which carry an artist royalty logged through TRACE, or with the artist’s documented license.
• A model trained on a person’s voice without consent is treated as tainted at the model level: every output of that model is classified RED, and Soundverse may quarantine or delete the model.
• Prompts that direct the Services to imitate a specific living artist may be restricted, flagged, or classified AMBER, and you may be required to provide an attestation before distribution.

9. Uploads; Representations; Copyright Compliance

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights, licenses, permissions, and consents to upload User Content to the Services and to create and use Output as contemplated here. You must not upload or otherwise provide copyrighted material (including sound recordings, compositions, stems, vocals, samples, MIDI transcriptions of protected melodies, or lyrics) unless you have a valid license or other authorization. Uploaded references and sources are the primary way third-party rights enter a track; each upload is evaluated under Section 4 and can reduce the clearance tier of everything built on it. Soundverse may remove or disable access to any material alleged to be infringing and may terminate repeat infringers’ access. You are solely responsible for your User Content, Output, and your use and distribution thereof.

YouTube and other external links. Where the Services allow you to provide a YouTube link or other external link as an input or reference, your right to do so depends on whether you own or hold the necessary rights in the linked track. A link to your own original track is treated as your own upload; a link to a third-party copyrighted track is treated as an uncleared third-party input and will reduce the clearance tier of everything built on it, up to and including a RED classification. Providing a link is providing the material: it carries the same responsibilities and consequences as a direct upload.

Kindly avoid uploading copyrighted music to Soundverse. Do not upload, link to, or otherwise provide music, stems, vocals, lyrics, or other material that you do not own or have not licensed. You are solely responsible for any material you provide and for all consequences of providing it, including takedowns, blocked distribution, account action, and claims by rights holders.

No provider liability for your uploads or outputs. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Soundverse is not responsible for any claims, losses, or damages arising from your User Content, your Output, or your failure to obtain or comply with third-party licenses.

10. Prohibited Uses

You are fully responsible for your activities while using the Services, including any content, information or other materials you post or upload, and you bear all risks associated with the use of the Services. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations in connection with your use of the Services. You also agree not to use the Services to engage in any prohibited conduct or to assist any other person or entity in engaging in any prohibited conduct.

We reserve the right (but not the obligation) in our sole discretion to (1) monitor the Services for violations of these Terms; (2) take appropriate legal action against anyone who uses or accesses the Services in a manner that we believe violates the law or these Terms, including without limitation, reporting such user to law enforcement authorities; (3) deny access to the Services or any features to anyone who violates these Terms or who we believe interferes with the ability of others to enjoy the Services or infringes the rights of others; and (4) otherwise manage the Services in a manner designed to protect our rights and property and to facilitate their proper functioning.

• Impersonation; deceptive source claims. You must not impersonate any person or entity or falsely imply an affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship. This includes presenting Output as if created by or in collaboration with a specific artist, label, or rights holder without authorization. If your use is satirical, parodic, or otherwise permitted by law, you must clearly disclose that the content is AI-generated and not endorsed.
• Misuse of tracks; circumvention of provenance. You must not (i) remove or alter any watermarking, provenance, or attribution features; (ii) attempt to generate or distribute Output that is substantially similar to specific copyrighted tracks or compositions in a manner that infringes; (iii) bypass safeguards, content filters, clearance gates, rate limits, or the classification and distribution controls described in Sections 4 and 7, including by using editing, humming, MIDI programming, translation, or stem separation to disguise a third-party work as original; (iv) use Output to train third-party models without the necessary rights;
• Attempt to do any of the above.

11. Termination of Repeat Infringers

We will terminate or disable your use of the Services in appropriate circumstances if you are deemed by us to be a repeat copyright infringer.

YOU AGREE THAT SOUNDVERSE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OUTPUT GENERATED BY THE GENERATIVE AI MODELS. WE ADVISE YOU TO THOROUGHLY CHECK THE OUTPUT AND WHETHER IT INFRINGES ANY EXISTING COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL BEFORE USING OR DISTRIBUTING IT.

BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF DAMAGES, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. License Compliance; Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for selecting and complying with the license(s) applicable to your Output and any third-party materials you incorporate, including the plan and Custom License requirements described in Section 6 and the Licensing Model (https://help.soundverse.ai/faqs/licensing-model).

21. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

21.1 Agreement to Arbitrate

This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You and Soundverse agree that any and all disputes, claims, demands, or causes of action (“Claims”) that have arisen or may arise between you and us, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator, rather than in a court by a judge or jury, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you or we may (but are not required to) assert individual Claims in small claims court if such Claims are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action and that our respective rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

21.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualised Relief

YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

21.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution

Before commencing any arbitration (or suit in small claims court, if available), you agree to provide Soundverse with a written notice of Claim, and Soundverse agrees to provide you with a written notice of Claim to the extent reasonably possible based on the availability of your contact information to Soundverse (“Notice”). Notice shall be sent to legal@soundverse.ai with a paper copy to Soundverse Inc. USA Office: Soundverse Inc., 651 N Broad St Suite 201, New Castle Middletown 19709, United States, or India Office: SonicLabs AI Private Limited, WeWork NESCO IT Park, 10th Floor, Building 4, Goregaon East, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, 400063. Where Soundverse has your contact information, Soundverse will send its Notice to you using the last email address we have on file for you if you have provided us with an email address (each, a “Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the Claim in sufficient detail to evaluate the merits of the claiming party’s Claim and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought, including the amount of money (if any) that is demanded and the means by which the demanding party calculated the claimed amount. Both parties agree that they will attempt to resolve a Claim through informal negotiation within ninety (90) calendar days from the date the Notice is received. If the Claim is not resolved within ninety (90) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. Each party agrees that state and federal courts in New York, New York, USA may enter injunctive relief to enforce the pre-filing requirements of this paragraph, including an injunction to stay an arbitration that has been commenced in violation of this paragraph.

21.4 Arbitration Procedures

The Federal Arbitration Act fully applies to the Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time that such arbitration is initiated (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found on the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would. Except as set forth above, all issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, threshold issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement and issues relating to (a) whether the terms of these Terms (or any aspect thereof) are enforceable, unconscionable, or illusory and (b) any defence to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. During arbitration proceedings, the amount of any settlement offer made by Soundverse or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms and applicable law. While an arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief, the arbitrator may do so only with respect to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual party’s Claim. The arbitrator’s decision and judgement thereon will not have a precedent or collateral estoppel effect on any other Claim. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Any arbitration hearings will take place in New York, New York, USA, at another mutually agreeable location or, if both parties agree, by telephone or video conference. Whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator or by a hearing will be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

21.5 Small Claims Court

Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, either party may elect to pursue a Claim in a local small claims court rather than through arbitration so long as the matter remains in a small claims court and proceeds only on an individual basis.

21.6 Cost of Arbitration

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator’s satisfaction that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, we will pay your portion of such fees, subject to allocation in the arbitrator’s award. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

21.7 Confidentiality

Each of the parties shall maintain the strictly confidential nature of the arbitration, including all aspects of the arbitration proceeding and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, and shall not (without the prior written consent of the other party) disclose to any third party the fact, existence, content, award, or other results of the arbitration, except as may be necessary to enforce, enter, or challenge such award in a court of competent jurisdiction or as otherwise required by law.

21.8 Opt Out

You may reject this Arbitration Agreement, in which case only a court may be used to resolve any Claim. To reject this provision, you must send us an opt-out notice (the “Opt Out”) within thirty (30) days after you first access the Services. The Opt Out must be sent to the Soundverse Notice Address. The Opt Out must include your name, phone number and the email address you used to sign up and use the Services. This is the only way of opting out of this Arbitration Agreement. Opting out will not affect any other aspect of these Terms and will have no effect on any other or future agreements you may reach to arbitrate with us.

21.9 Severability

If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than Paragraph 21.2 above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualised Relief”) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable, and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Paragraph 21.2 above are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to Claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.

22. Choice of Law

Any and all Claims shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the internal substantive laws of the State of New York in all respects, without regard for the jurisdiction or forum in which the user is domiciled, resides or is located at the time of such access or use. Except as provided in the Arbitration Agreement, all Claims will be brought in the federal or state courts in New York, New York, and you and Soundverse each unconditionally, voluntarily, and irrevocably consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, AS SET FORTH ABOVE.

A printed version of these Terms and any other notice given in electronic form will be admissible in any arbitral, judicial, or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms and your use of the Services to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

23. Waiver and Severability

If you do not comply with a portion of these Terms and we do not take action right away, this does not mean we are giving up any of our rights under these Terms. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, the remainder of the Terms shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

24. Entire Agreement; Construction

These Terms, together with the Licensing Model and any Custom License terms incorporated by reference, contain the entire agreement between you and Soundverse regarding your use of the Services and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or understandings between you and Soundverse on that subject.

25. Assignment and Delegation

You may not assign or delegate these Terms or any rights or obligations under these Terms. Any attempted or purported assignment or delegation shall be null and void and will automatically terminate your right to use the Services. We may assign or delegate these Terms or any rights or obligations under these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or to any affiliate or as part of a corporate reorganisation.

26. Notices

All notices to Soundverse under these Terms, unless otherwise specified, shall be sent to legal@soundverse.ai. Service of any notice will be deemed given on the date of receipt delivered by email.
