To the extent it is necessary in order for Outright Mental to provide you with any of the aforementioned hosting services, to undertake any of the tasks set forth in these Terms of Use, including the distribution of advertising or other promotional material on our Platform and/or to enable your use of the Platform, you hereby grant such licenses to Outright Mental on a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free and fully paid basis.

WHERE THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION LIMITS OR PROHIBITS THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED OR OTHER WARRANTIES AS SET OUT ABOVE, THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LAW OF SUCH JURISDICTION APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUTRIGHT MENTAL’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE GREATER OF 100 EURO OR THE AMOUNTS (IF ANY) PAID BY YOU TO OUTRIGHT MENTAL DURING THE PREVIOUS TWELVE (12) MONTHS FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

OUTRIGHT MENTAL AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND SHAREHOLDERS, SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR:

  1. ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM:

    (A) YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM OR ANY PART OR PARTS THEREOF, OR TO ACCESS ANY CONTENT OR ANY EXTERNAL SERVICES VIA THE PLATFORM;

LOSSES ARE FORESEEABLE WHERE THEY COULD BE CONTEMPLATED BY YOU AND OUTRIGHT MENTAL AT THE TIME YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE, AND THEREFORE DO NOT INCLUDE ANY INDIRECT LOSSES, SUCH AS LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY.

ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM MUST BE NOTIFIED TO OUTRIGHT MENTAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH CASES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SUCH LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS REFLECT A REASONABLE AND FAIR ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN YOU AND OUTRIGHT MENTAL AND ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND OUTRIGHT MENTAL, AND THAT OUTRIGHT MENTAL’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OF USE LIMITS OR EXCLUDES THE LIABILITY OF OUTRIGHT MENTAL, ITS SUBSIDIARIES, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND/OR SHAREHOLDERS: (I) FOR ANY DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY ITS OR THEIR NEGLIGENCE, (II) FOR ANY FORM OF FRAUD OR DECEIT, (III) FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED WILFULLY OR BY GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR (IV) FOR ANY FORM OF LIABILITY WHICH CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED BY LAW.

Data protection, privacy and cookies

All personal data that you provide to us in connection with your use of the Platform is collected, stored, used and disclosed by Outright Mental in accordance with our Privacy Policy. In addition, in common with most online services, we use cookies to help us understand how people are using the Platform, so that we can continue to improve the service we offer. Our use of cookies, and how to disable cookies, is explained in our Cookies Policy. By accepting these Terms of Use and using the Platform, you also accept the terms of the Privacy Policy and our Cookies Policy.

Meetups

Outright Mental has an active community of users, many of whom organize and attend face-to-face meetings at venues all over the world (“Meetups”). While Outright Mental is generally supportive of Meetups and may provide branded promotional materials to help organizers promote their Meetups, Outright Mental does not sponsor, oversee or in any way control such Meetups. You hereby acknowledge and agree that your attendance and participation in any Meetups is entirely at your own risk and Outright Mental does not bear any responsibility or liability for the actions of any Outright Mental users or any third parties who organize, attend or are otherwise involved in any Meetups.

Competitions and other promotions

From time to time, some Outright Mental users may promote competitions, promotions, prize draws and other similar opportunities on the Platform (“Third Party Competitions”). Outright Mental is not the sponsor or promoter of these Third Party Competitions, and does not bear any responsibility or liability for the actions or inactions of any third parties who organize, administer or are otherwise involved in any promotion of these Third Party Competitions. If you wish to participate in any of these Third Party Competitions, it is your responsibility to read the terms and conditions applicable to the relevant Third Party Competition and to ensure that you understand the rules and any eligibility requirements, and are lawfully able to participate in such Third Party Competitions in your country of residence.

Use of Outright Mental players and widget

The Platform includes access to customizable players ( “Players”), and an embeddable version of the Outright Mental waveform player (“Widget”) for incorporation into users' own sites, third party sites or social media profiles, whether or not a Linked Service. This functionality is provided to enable Uploaders to put their Content wherever they wish, and to enable other users of the Platform to share and distribute Content within the parameters set by the Uploader.

You may not, without the prior written consent of Outright Mental, use the Players or the Widget in such a way that you aggregate Content from the Platform into a separate destination that replicates substantially the offering of the Website, or comprises a content service of which Content from the Platform forms a material part. Similarly, you may not, without the prior written consent of Outright Mental, use the Players or the Widget to embed Content into any website or other destination dedicated to a particular musical (except where the relevant Content is Your Content and you are the person or are authorized to represent the person to whom the site or destination is dedicated), or to a particular genre. You may not use the Players or Widget in any way that suggests that Outright Mental or any musical, audio creator or other third party endorses or supports your website, or your use of the Players or Widget. The foregoing shall apply whether such use is commercial or non-commercial.

Outright Mental reserves the right to block your use of the Players and the Widget at any time and for any reason in its sole discretion.

Subscriptions and gift codes

Certain features of the Platform are only available to registered users who subscribe to a “Pro” or “Pro Unlimited” plan (together, “Pro Accounts”) or to Outright Mental Go (Pro Accounts and Outright Mental Go are each referred to as a “Subscrpition”).

The purchase of Pro Accounts and gift codes related to Pro Accounts is subject to additional terms, which you will find here. In addition, the purchase of subscriptions for Outright Mental Go is subject to additional terms, which you will find here.

The Pro Account Terms and the Outright Mental Go Terms include, amongst other things, terms relating to payment, the conclusion, renewal and cancellation of your Subscription, including your right of cancellation during the first 14 days of your Subscription, and certain technical usage limitations.

The Pro Account Terms are applicable to Pro and Pro Unlimited Account users and the Outright Mental Go Terms are applicable to Outright Mental Go users in addition to these general Terms of Use when they purchase a Subscription. Outright Mental reserves the right to limit the availability of Outright Mental Go subscriptions to specific jurisdictions as may be determined by Outright Mental in its sole discretion from time to time.

Changes to the Platform, accounts and pricing

Outright Mental reserves the right at any time and for any reason to suspend, discontinue, terminate or cease providing access to the Platform or any part thereof, temporarily or permanently, and whether in its entirety or with respect to individual territories only. In the case of any temporary or permanent suspension, discontinuation, termination or cessation of access, Outright Mental shall use its reasonable endeavors to notify registered users of such decision in advance.

You hereby agree that Outright Mental and its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, employees, agents, directors, officers and shareholders shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any changes or modifications to the Website, Apps and/or any Services that Outright Mental may wish to make from time to time, or for any decision to suspend, discontinue or terminate the Website, the Services or any part or parts thereof, or your possibility to use or access the same from or within any territory or territories.

Outright Mental may change the features of any type of account, may withdraw or, or introduce new features, products or types of account at any time and for any reason, and may change the prices charged for any of its Subscriptions from time to time. In the event of any increase in the price or material reduction in the features of any Subscription which you have purchased, such change(s) will be communicated to you and will only take effect with respect to any subsequent renewal of your subscription. In all other cases, where Outright Mental proposes to make changes to any type of Subscription you have purchased, and these changes are material and to your disadvantage, Outright Mental will notify you of the proposed changes by sending a message to your Outright Mental account and/or an email to the then current email address that we have for your account, at least six (6) weeks in advance. You will have no obligation to continue using the Platform following any such notification, but if you do not terminate your account as described in the Termination section below during such six (6) week period, your continued use of your account after the end of that six (6) week period will constitute your acceptance of the changes to your Subscription.

If you have a Subscription, and terminate this Agreement before the end of such Subscription, we are unable to offer any refund for any unexpired period of your Subscription.
