Legacy takes alleged copyright infringement seriously. If you believe that any information or material on our Site constitutes copyright infringement, please see our DMCA Addendum for how to submit a claim.

6. Cover Song Licensing Services

The Site allows you to purchase a service whereby Legacy acquires on your behalf, prior to your distribution of phonorecords [as such term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (the Copyright Act), mechanical licenses for the reproduction of musical compositions. You tell us the format you want to use (e.g. CD, digital download or ringtone) for the mechanical licenses and the number of copies (100, 1000, etc.) to be distributed. Legacy calculates the royalty that must be paid to the music publisher(s) under the Copyright Act for use of the musical composition(s), based on the statutory mechanical royalty rate in effect at the time of release. Please note that mechanical royalty rates may change over time, and Legacy reserves the right to adjust its royalty charges accordingly. You pay those royalties to Legacy, along with Legacy's licensing service fee, and Legacy obtains the license(s) from the appropriate publisher(s) or copyright holder(s) and pays the publisher(s) or copyright holder(s) the royalties on your behalf.

The maximum number of copies Legacy will license per song per album at the statutory mechanical royalty rate is 2,500 units. If you wish to license more than the maximum number of copies, Legacy will attempt to obtain the license, but will charge an additional fee of up to $0.014 USD for each copy for our services (minimum: $25 USD). This charge is in addition to the royalties owed and will be paid to Legacy, not the copyright holder. In addition, if you wish to license more than 2,500 physical units, you agree to deliver a pressing report to Legacy on stationery of the manufacturer, indicating the actual quantities produced, upon our request.

The Cover Song Licensing service does not allow you to obtain licenses for samples, audio recordings (masters), synchronization rights (audiovisual), theatrical rights, grand rights, or print rights. If you want to obtain any of those rights, you must contact the rights holder(s) directly, or ask us to provide Custom Licensing services. In addition, the Cover Song Licensing service does not allow you to obtain mechanical licenses for songs that do not comply with the compulsory mechanical licensing provisions of the Copyright Act.

For each song you submit to us for licensing, you agree that:
  1. You will not change the lyrics of the song.
  2. You will not change the fundamental melody of the song (general rearrangement is allowed, however).
  3. You will not request a song that has never been previously recorded and commercially released.
  4. You will not release any recording of any song for any purpose other than personal private listening by the end user.
  5. You will not sell copies of any recording of any licensed song outside of the United States without additional permission from the rights holder(s).

Under the Copyright Act, a mechanical license must be obtained from the copyright owner of the applicable musical composition prior to the manufacture or distribution of digital or physical copies. Under certain circumstances, even if the copyright owner cannot be found, or refuses a license, a so-called "compulsory license" can be obtained. Importantly, a compulsory license may only be obtained by giving a "Notice of Intention to Obtain a Compulsory License" to the copyright owner or their agent, before or within 30 days of making, and before distributing, any phonorecords (including digital copies).

Therefore, we require that you submit your request to Legacy at least 45 days in advance of your distribution of any copies. If that time limit has passed, Legacy will still try to help you and make every effort to secure a retroactive license on your behalf, but in that instance a license cannot be guaranteed. If a license cannot be secured and the time to secure a "compulsory license" has expired, any accrued royalties will be returned to you. In all events, you will be responsible for any claim by a publisher or copyright holder, and you agree to indemnify Legacy against any such claim in accordance with section 10 below.

7. Marketplace

The Marketplace allows users (as Seller) to post original compositions, soundalike, and licensed cover recordings with visual artwork (collectively Contributions) for other users (as Buyers) who are interested in obtaining music for non-commercial use to browse and purchase rights to the Seller's music, subject to the restrictions of these Terms of Use.

By providing Contributions to the Site, Sellers grant us and our service providers the right to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display and distribute the Contributions for use on our Site and in our Services (including for our business purposes) and to provide the license terms described to Buyers. By posting a Contribution, Seller explicitly agrees to allow Buyers to license the Contributions under the Standard License Agreement (the current version, which Legacy may change from time to time, is set forth here) in effect at the time of the transaction, unless Seller or Legacy provides overriding terms.

While Legacy may monitor and decide to remove any Contributions in our sole discretion, Sellers and Buyers understand and acknowledge that:
  1. Seller is responsible for any Contributions submitted to the Marketplace, and Seller—not Legacy—has full responsibility for the content, including the legality, reliability, accuracy, and appropriateness of that content.
  2. Buyers are responsible for the user of any Contributions obtained through the Marketplace, and Buyer—not Legacy—has full responsibility for their compliance with the terms of the applicable license.
Sellers represent and warrant that neither Contributions or the use thereof by us or Buyers in accordance with the license terms will:
  1. violate, plagiarize, misappropriate, or infringe upon the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity, moral rights, contract or other personal or proprietary rights;
  2. contain unlawful material;
  3. constitute false or misleading statements of fact or indications of origin;
  4. slander, libel or defame any person or entity;
  5. cause injury of any kind to any person or entity; or
  6. violate any applicable laws, rules, regulations or other governmental regulations.

When submitting Contributions for sale to potential buyers through the Marketplace, Sellers can select their preferred tier to determine Buyer pricing. Unless otherwise agreed by Legacy, Legacy will retain fifty percent (50%) of the Buyer's fees for cover recordings, and twenty-five percent (25%) of the Buyer's fees for original works. Legacy will deduct the amount of Legacy's fees described above and will pay Sellers quarterly for all Buyer transactions processed in the prior quarter when the amount in Seller's account reaches the level Seller designates during account registration. Legacy may also issue payments from your Account at additional times in its sole discretion. Sellers may be able to change the applicable pricing tier and add or remove Contributions from the Marketplace at any time. Seller must submit an International Standard Recording Code (ISRC), if Seller has one, at the time that Contribution is submitted; Legacy may obtain an ISRC for Contributions if Seller does not provide one.

Buyers represent and warrant that they will use a purchased Contribution solely in compliance with the applicable license terms approved by the Seller. Buyers acknowledge that individual Contributions purchased by Buyer may be downloaded (or re-downloaded) through Buyer's Marketplace account so long as the Contributions are available to the Marketplace. If Sellers remove their Contributions, those items may no longer be available for download (or re-download) or other access.

Legacy acts as an agent for Sellers in operating the Marketplace and is not a party to the license between Sellers and Buyers (though Legacy may be a third-party beneficiary with the ability to enforce the terms). Any license effected through the Marketplace is subject to the terms of the Standard License Agreement in effect at the time of the transaction (the current version, which Legacy may change from time to time, is set forth here), including the accreditation requirements in favor of Legacy, unless Legacy or the Seller provides an overriding custom license agreement. Sellers acknowledge that removing a Contribution from the Marketplace does not affect any license(s) granted to Buyers prior to the removal of the Contribution. Sellers will not make Content ID claims (or issue similar takedown requests) on third-party platforms against Buyers that have obtained sufficient license rights to use Seller's Contributions unless Buyers violate the limitations of the applicable license terms.

Please note that Legacy's Services for Marketplace Contributions do not include any legal opinion or clearance of third-party rights (other than cover song licensing of downloads from our Site). Legacy is not liable for any dispute between Seller and Buyer regarding the terms of the Standard License Agreement or any use of a Contribution according to its terms.

8. Custom Licensing Services

For songs not available for licensing through the Cover Song Licensing service, or for commercial uses outside the scope of the Marketplace Standard License Agreement, Legacy offers Custom Licensing services. For an additional charge, Legacy will provide consultation and assistance to submit your licensing request directly to the copyright proprietor(s). Custom licensing can be challenging because, under the Copyright Act, the copyright owners maintain total control of their works. This means they can set any fee, take all the time they need, and reject the licensing request outright. For this reason, it is important to manage your expectations.

Many factors affect the response, including budget, use and even the current workload of the copyright holder's processing department. For this reason, Legacy does not guarantee licensure in whole or in part for any custom request, and we also do not guarantee timing, or even that you will receive a response from the copyright holder. All Custom Licensing fees paid are final and are not eligible for refunds. This includes the upfront fee plus any additional fees paid upon acceptance of a license agreement.

When requesting Legacy's licensing services, you agree and warrant that you will provide accurate information, including song title(s), songwriter(s), publisher(s), track length and any other information requested, for the song(s) that you wish to license. Legacy is not responsible if licenses cannot be obtained, if the incorrect license is obtained, or if you pay insufficient publisher royalties as the result of inaccurate information in license requests.

You agree to limit your use of the songs you license to the format(s) and number of copies that you request Legacy to license on your behalf. Because you are asking Legacy to acquire a specific number and type of licenses, we must emphasize that any use of the song(s) in any format(s) or numbers of copies which are not requested and licensed is a violation of these Terms of Use and may also violate the rights of the applicable publisher or copyright holder.

For example, if you request mechanical licenses for 100 digital downloads that you intend to offer for download or sale, you are not authorized to reproduce the musical compositions in physical or ringtone format without further licensing. In addition, you are not authorized to produce or sell more than 100 digital downloads. The 101st digital download requires an additional license. It is your responsibility to ensure that additional mechanical licenses are requested BEFORE you offer the 101st digital download for download or sale. If you get to that point, contact us, and we will set you up for the additional units needed.

9. Refund Policy

You agree to read and accept our Refund Policy each time before making a purchase. Our refund policy is available online here: https://www.easysong.com/about/refund-policy.aspx

15. NO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

No information provided in these Terms of Use, on the Site, or during phone conversations with Legacy representatives should be construed as legal, accounting or other professional advice. Legacy does not provide such services and the availability of background information here does not create any professional service relationship. Although Legacy has attempted to clearly and succinctly explain many of the rules associated with licensing musical compositions, none of the information provided here is an adequate substitute for obtaining advice and guidance from a lawyer, accountant or other licensed professional.

16. Third Party Sites

The Site may provide you with access to third party websites, databases, networks, servers, information, software, programs, systems, directories, applications, products or services, including without limitation, linked services (hereinafter External Services).

By linking or otherwise providing access to any External Services, Legacy does not give any representation, warranty or endorsement, express or implied, with respect to the legality, accuracy, quality or authenticity of content, information or services provided by such External Services.

External Services may have their own Terms of Use and/or privacy policy, and may have different practices and requirements from those of Legacy with respect to the Site. You are solely responsible for reviewing any Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and other terms governing your use of all External Services, which you acknowledge you use at your own risk. You are advised to make reasonable inquiries and investigations before entering into any transaction, financial or otherwise, and whether online or offline, with any third party related to any External Services.

You are solely responsible for taking the precautions necessary to protect yourself from fraud when using External Services, and to protect your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content and material that may be included on or may emanate from any External Services. Legacy disclaims all responsibility and liability for any harm resulting from your use of External Services, and you irrevocably waive any claim against Legacy with respect to the content or operation of any External Services.

17. Termination

18. Electronic Communication and Contact

You consent to receive communications and your Licensing Agreement(s) from Legacy electronically. You agree that all contracts, licenses, notices and other communications provided to you in electronic format by us will satisfy any legal requirements that such documents or communications be in writing, and that such documents and communications have the same force and effect as though they had been provided in non-electronic form.

19. Assignment

Legacy may assign its rights and (where permissible by law) its obligations under these Terms of Use, in whole or in part, to any third party at any time without notice, including, without limitation, to any person or entity acquiring all or substantially all of the assets or business of Legacy. You may not assign these Terms of Use or the rights and duties hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third party without the prior written consent of Legacy.

20. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Use are subject to the laws of the United States, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and excluding the principles of conflict of laws (international private law). You agree, and Legacy agrees, to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA for resolution of any dispute, action or proceeding arising in connection with these Terms of Use. The provisions of this section do not apply to any claim in which Legacy seeks equitable relief of any kind. You acknowledge that, in the event of a breach of these Terms of Use by Legacy or any third party, the damage or harm, if any, caused to you will not entitle you to seek injunctive or other equitable relief against Legacy, including with respect to your content, and your only remedy will be for monetary damages, subject to the limitations of liability set forth in these Terms of Use.

21. Disclosures

The Services are offered by Legacy Productions, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Minnesota, with its main place of business at 12800 Whitewater Drive #275, Minnetonka, MN 55343 USA.

If you are a resident of the State of California, you may have these Terms of Use sent to you electronically by sending a letter to the above address with your electronic mail address and a request for these Terms of Use.

22. Waiver and Amendment

The failure by Legacy to take any action with respect to a breach by you of these Terms of Use does not waive any right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breach. Legacy may, from time to time, amend these Terms of Use and your use of the Site following any such amendment shall constitute your further agreement to follow and be bound by the amended Terms of Use.

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified so that it is valid and/or enforceable to the greatest extent possible under applicable law. All remaining provisions shall be unaffected and enforceable.

It is understood that in the event of any conflict between these Terms of Use and the Licensing Services Agreement, these Terms of Use shall control.

This Copyright Registration Addendum (this Registration Addendum) governs the terms on which Legacy will provide you with certain music copyright registration services as described on the Site (the "Registration Services").

Please read these terms carefully prior to using or registering for the Registration Services. BY USING THE REGISTRATION SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS REGISTRATION ADDENDUM AS WELL AS TO THE LEGACY TERMS OF USE. If you do not agree to all such terms, then you may not use the Registration Services. If, and to the extent, there is any conflict between the provisions of this Registration Addendum and the provisions of the Terms of Use, the terms of this Registration Addendum will control.

If you are registering for or adding the Registration Services on behalf of one or more other writers, a group, or a company or other entity, then you represent and warrant to Legacy that you are authorized to do so on their behalf and to bind them to this Registration Addendum. The terms "you" and "your" include all such persons and entities.

1. Acknowledgements

Legacy is an independent company in the business, among other things, of registering music with the U.S. Copyright Office. LEGACY IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE U.S. COPYRIGHT OFFICE.

Nothing in the Registration Services should be construed as offering legal advice or representation. LEGACY DOES NOT OFFER LEGAL ADVICE OR LEGAL SERVICES OF ANY KIND, NOR PROTECTION AGAINST CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

The information on the Site regarding the Registration Services should not be used as a substitute for the advice of a qualified attorney. The Registration Services are not intended to create an attorney-client relationship and no attorney-client relationship will be created with Legacy by using the Registration Services. If you need legal advice for your specific copyright problem, you should consult a licensed and qualified attorney in your area.

THE REGISTRATION SERVICES DO NOT INCLUDE REGISTRATION WITH ANY ORGANIZATION REGARDING LICENSING OR COLLECTION OF ROYALTIES. It is the music owner's responsibility to register his/her work(s) for purposes of licensing and royalties with the appropriate agencies, including, for example, ASCAP, BMI and SoundExchange.

Since Legacy does not listen to music files that are submitted for registration purposes, but only checks that they are submitted in the proper format, the physical integrity or usability of files submitted is not verified nor warranted by Legacy.

2. Fees

You agree to pay all Copyright Office filing fees and other fees as specified in your account registration or as otherwise authorized under your account. When you sign up for the Registration Services, you will be providing Legacy with credit card information and authorization to charge any fees you may incur in connection with your use of the Registration Services directly to your credit card account. If, at any time, Legacy is unable to charge or otherwise recover the relevant fees from the credit card provided, Legacy may suspend the Registration Services.

3. Changes

Legacy reserves the right at any time to modify this Registration Addendum and to impose new or additional terms or conditions on your use of the Registration Services. Legacy will inform you of any proposed modifications (e.g., by email or through your account page on the Site) and you may terminate this Registration Addendum upon written notice if you do not wish to accept them. Otherwise, such modifications and additional terms and conditions will be deemed accepted and incorporated into this Registration Addendum.

You represent and warrant as follows:

  1. (a) You are at least 18 years of age.
  2. (b) All registration information and other information you submit to Legacy is and will remain truthful and accurate.

1. Grant of Rights

During the Term and Exploitation Period (as defined below), you grant to Legacy and its designees the exclusive rights of administration throughout the world (the Territory) with respect to 100% of your rights, title and interest (the Writer's Interest) in and to the musical compositions you submit to Legacy via the Legacy website (the Site) (collectively, the Compositions), except that with respect to the manufacture and distribution of physical copies of the Compositions, the rights granted hereunder will be nonexclusive. The rights you grant to Legacy include, without limitation, the exclusive (except as stated above) right, license, privilege and authority throughout the Territory with respect to Writer's Interest in and to the Compositions, whether now in existence or whether created during the Term, to do the following, as necessary:

  1. (a) To register the Compositions with the relevant performance rights organization(s) (e.g., ASCAP and/or BMI) (PROs) and other licensing agencies (e.g., The Harry Fox Agency) for which Legacy may offer such registration services (the Third Party Registrations). Third Party Registrations will be made according to the then current rules, terms and conditions of the applicable PRO or licensing organization, and may require the payment of fees as specified by Legacy. If Legacy makes additional PROs and licensing agency registrations available, you may request registration with such additional PROs and agencies at any time. If you are already registered with such PROs or other third parties, you will need to sign such letters of direction as Legacy provide to enable us to administer your account with such PROs or other third parties on your behalf during the Term and Exploitation Period. You acknowledge that Legacy will not be able to start collecting publishing income on your behalf unless and until the necessary Third-Party Registrations and/or letters of direction are accurately completed.
  2. (b) To perform and license others to perform the Compositions publicly or privately, for profit or otherwise, by any means or media whatsoever, whether now known or conceived and developed during the Term, including, without limitation, public or private live performances, radio broadcast, television, Internet and mobile telecom.
  3. (c) At your request or with your permission in each instance, to do or authorize others to do the following: (i) substitute new titles for any of the Compositions; (ii) make any arrangement, adaptation, translation, dramatization or transposition of any of the Compositions, in whole or in part, and in connection with any other musical, literary or dramatic material;(iii) add new lyrics to the music of any Composition or new music to the lyrics of any Composition, and (iv) prepare other derivative works based on the Compositions, regardless of any so-called "moral rights".
  4. (d) To make or cause to be made, and to license others to make phonograph records, master recordings, digital downloads, streams, podcasts, ringtones, soundtracks, pressings and any other mechanical, electrical or other reproductions of the Compositions, in whole or in part, including without limitation, the right to grant licenses to third parties authorizing so-called "sampling" and/or interpolation of the Compositions, and to use, manufacture, advertise, license, sell, or otherwise exploit such reproductions for any and all purposes, including, without limitation, private and public performances, radio, television, motion pictures, phonograph records, and any and all other means and devices, whether now known or conceived or developed during the Term, including any synchronization rights.
  5. (e) To print, publish, sell and distribute, and to authorize others to print, publish, sell and distribute, copies of the Compositions, in all forms, including, without limitation, sheet music, orchestrations, arrangements and other editions of the Compositions, separately or together with other musical compositions, including, without limitation, in song folios, compilations, song books, mixed folios, personality folios and lyric magazines, with or without music.
  6. (f) To sublicense any or all of the rights granted herein to any persons or entities.
  7. (g) To exercise and exploit during the Term and Exploitation Period exclusively, any and all other rights now existing or existing during the Term with regard to the Writer's Interest in all Compositions under and by virtue of any common law or statutory laws or provisions, including without limitation, copyright laws, including so-called "grand rights" and small performance rights, including synchronization rights.
  8. (h) To administer and collect all monies derived from the exploitation of the Compositions during the Term and Exploitation Period throughout the Territory.

You understand that it is your responsibility to notify the relevant PROs or other third party licensing agencies or licensors at the end of the Exploitation Period, and if you fail to do so, Legacy may continue to receive income on your behalf. If Legacy receives monies that were earned after the applicable Exploitation Period for a particular Composition from a PRO or other third party licensing agency, licensor or other entity due to their acts or omissions or your failure to notify the relevant third party of the expiration of the Term, you acknowledge that our receipt thereof will not be a violation of this Publishing Addendum and that Legacy have the right to accept such monies on your behalf. In such event, our Administration Fees will apply to such monies, and Legacy will remit all Net Income to you as and when Legacy would otherwise have accounted to you if this Publishing Addendum and Term were still in effect.

If you are a YouTube "partner" and provide Legacy with accurate details identifying your YouTube channel, then subject to the rest of these terms, Legacy will "whitelist" and not monetize your channel.

2. Licenses

3. Term / Termination

The term of this Publishing Addendum will begin on the date you register for the Publishing Services and will continue for a period of one year (the Term) unless earlier terminated by Legacy as stated below. The Term will automatically renew for consecutive 3-month periods (each a Renewal Term) unless you terminate the Term prior to the end of the then-current period by sending an email with a request to terminate along with your email address and user ID (a Cancellation Notice). Regardless of when you send a Cancellation Notice, termination will not be effective until the end of the period of the Term in which the notice is received.

Notwithstanding any termination of the Term, the rights granted and the Publishing Services provided under this Addendum will continue with respect to any particular Composition until the end of the Exploitation Period for such Composition. The Exploitation Period for a Composition will begin on the date you submit such Composition to Legacy and will continue until the later of (i) the end of the Term or (ii) 12 months after the date you submit the Composition to Legacy, unless earlier terminated by Legacy as stated below. For example, if you submit a Composition on January 1st and the Term ends on February 1st of that year, the Exploitation Period for that Composition will continue until December 31st of that year.

Legacy will continue to have the right to collect all income payable with respect to any Composition that was earned during the Exploitation Period for a period of one year after the date of expiration of the Exploitation Period for such Composition. Legacy will continue to account for and pay to you your share of all such income.

Legacy may terminate the Term and/or the Exploitation Period for any or all of the Compositions at any time upon written notice, for any reason or for no reason. Termination of your Account or of the Legacy service as a whole will also constitute termination of this Publishing Addendum.

After the Term and Exploitation Period, Legacy will continue to have the right, but not the obligation, to collect all income payable in respect of exploitations of the Compositions that was earned during or before the Term and/or Exploitation Period, and Legacy will continue to account to you your share of all such income.

If, and to the extent that, any fraudulent activities are determined to be caused by your or your affiliates' actions or omissions, any costs incurred by Legacy (including legal fees and costs) in connection therewith may, in addition to its other remedies, be deducted by Legacy from any monies otherwise payable to you hereunder. Certain of Legacy's licensees may also have policies related to fraud and suspected fraudulent activities and you agree that such policies will be binding on you hereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you shall be responsible for and shall pay: (i) any royalties and other sums due to artists (featured and non-featured), authors, co-authors, copyright owners and co-owners, producers, engineers, and any other record royalty participants from sales or other uses of the Catalog, (ii) all mechanical royalties or other sums payable to music publishers and/or authors or co-authors of musical compositions embodied in the Catalog from sales or other uses of the Catalog, (iii) all payments that may be required under any collective bargaining agreements applicable to you or any third party (e.g., to unions or guilds such as AFM or SAG-AFTRA), and (iv) any other royalties, fees and/or sums payable with respect to the Catalog or other materials provided by you to us. You agree that the amount payable to you is inclusive of any so-called "artist royalties" that might otherwise be required to be paid for sales or exploitations pursuant to the applicable laws of any jurisdiction and for any public performances, public displays or communications to the public of the sound recordings and musical works constituting the Catalog. To the extent permitted by law, you hereby waive any so-called "moral rights" in the Catalog applicable under the laws of any jurisdiction.

4. Term / Termination

The term of this Licensing Support Addendum will begin on the date you register for the Licensing Support Service and will continue for a period of one year (the Term) unless earlier terminated by Legacy as stated below. The Term will automatically renew for consecutive 3-month periods (each a Renewal Term) unless you terminate the Term prior to the end of the then-current period by sending an email with a request to terminate along with your email address and user ID (a Cancellation Notice). Regardless of when you send a Cancellation Notice, termination will not be effective until the end of the period of the Term in which the notice is received.

Legacy may terminate this Licensing Support Addendum, the Licensing Support Service, or any part thereof, at any time upon written notice, for any reason or for no reason. Termination of your Account or of the Legacy service as a whole will also constitute termination of this Licensing Support Addendum.

After the Term, Legacy will continue to have the right, but not the obligation, to collect all income payable in respect of music licenses of Catalog earned during the Term, and Legacy will continue to account to you your share of all such income.

You understand that it is your responsibility to notify the relevant third-party licensing agencies or licensors or other entity at the end of the Term, and if you fail to do so, Legacy may continue to receive income on your behalf. If Legacy receives monies that were earned after the Term from a third-party licensing agency, licensor or other entity due to their acts or omissions or your failure to notify the relevant third party of the expiration of the Term, you acknowledge that our receipt thereof will not be a violation of this Licensing Support Addendum and that Legacy has the right to accept such monies on your behalf. In such event, our Service Fee (defined below) will apply to such monies, and Legacy will remit all Net Sums to you as and when Legacy would otherwise have accounted to you if this Licensing Support Addendum was in effect.

5. Your Account

In order to use the Licensing Support Service, you must create a Legacy licensing account (your Account). You will be asked as part of the Account Registration to select a unique user name and password and to provide Legacy with accurate, complete registration information to obtain access to the Site and the Licensing Support Service. You will be solely responsible for any and all activity transacted and charges incurred under your Account, so please ensure that you keep your user name and password confidential and safe. If at any time your registration information changes or if you learn or suspect that your Account has been used or obtained by a person not authorized to use it, please notify Legacy immediately. Any materials submitted by you to Legacy will not be returned.

6. Fees

Legacy will deduct and retain a service fee of 25% of the Net Receipts (the Service Fee) for its own account. As used herein, Net Receipts means the total amounts actually collected on your behalf by Legacy in connection with a licensed use of the Catalog, including, without limitation, synchronization license, master license, theatrical license, mechanical license, public performance license, print rights license, less all actual, reasonable, non-overhead costs paid or incurred by Legacy solely in connection with the exploitation of Catalog and the collection of income.

7. Accounting

Legacy will pay to you all Net Income collected on your behalf in connection with licensing of the Catalog. Net Income means the total amounts actually collected on your behalf by Legacy in connection with a licensed use of the Catalog, including, without limitation, synchronization license, master license, theatrical license, mechanical license, public performance license, print rights license, less all actual, reasonable, non-overhead costs paid or incurred by Legacy solely in connection with the exploitation of Catalog and the collection of income, including, without limitation, audit fees, collection expenses and fees, and any taxes required to be deducted.

If Legacy has, in its reasonable business judgment, reason to suspect that your account has been subjected to and/or involved in fraudulent activities, Legacy reserves the right to suspend the payment of Net Income to your Account and to block your ability to otherwise withdraw funds therefrom, until satisfactory resolution and/or explanation of the suspect activities is obtained. To the extent that any fraudulent activities are determined to be caused by your or your affiliates' actions or omissions, any costs incurred by Legacy (including legal fees and costs) in connection therewith may, in addition to its other remedies, be deducted by Legacy from any monies otherwise payable to you hereunder. Certain of Legacy's licensees may also have policies related to fraud and suspected fraudulent activities and you agree that such policies will be binding on you hereunder.

The Net Income payable by Legacy to you will be posted to your Account on or before the 10th day of April for the period ending the preceding December 31st, and on or before the 10th day of July for the period ending March 31st, and on or before the 10th day of October for the period ending the preceding June 30th and on or before the 10th day of January for the period ending the preceding September 30th, together with an account of the amounts earned by you during such quarterly period. Legacy will issue payments from your Account when the amount in your Account reaches the level you designate in your Account registration. Legacy may also issue payments from your Account at additional times in its sole discretion.

All accountings rendered and payments made by Legacy to you will be binding upon you and not subject to any objection for any reason unless specific objection in writing, stating the basis thereof is given to Legacy within one year from the date rendered. Statements and payments will be sent in accordance with the relevant instructions in the Registration. No generalized objection (such as, but not limited to, a generalized claim of over-reporting of deductions or underreporting of income or any similar generalization) will be deemed a valid objection.
