By clicking the "I agree" button or pressing the "I Accept" button when creating a BMP account, or by using the BMP Platform (including but not limited to the downloading of said application) or the BMP Services, you confirm that:
BMP grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to make personal non-commercial use of the BMP Platform (including a right to download parts of said Platform, such as the BMP Widget or BMP Webplayer) and the BMP Services and to receive by conditional downloads and limited 60-day streams the digital content made available through the BMP Service (based on, and limited to the extent of, the licensing rights BMP has obtained from third party content owners and distributors) in your home country. You do not have any right to transfer or sublicense your rights under this Agreement. You do not have a right to use the content in a way other than as expressly permitted by the Agreement.
If you agree to pay the BMP Premium and/or BMP Published Prices to purchase the download or streaming rights to BMP Playlists and individual audio tracks or to pay the subscription fee for access to the BMP Services as a Flex Member, such purchases and fees will be charged in accordance with the payment method you have chosen for your purchase. If you are paying by PayPal or other Alternative Payment Method (the "APM") allowed by BMP, by designating an APM account to be billed, you confirm that you are authorized to make such purchase and that you are a verified owner of such AMP account. If you are paying by credit or debit card, by designating a card to be billed, you confirm that you are authorized to make such purchase and that you are the holder of such card (i.e. that the card is issued in your name).
All prices stated in the BMP Services are inclusive of value added taxes (where applicable) and other applicable taxes and fees, including a minimum processing fee (the "MPF") that might be added to the BMP Published Prices when the sum of a single transaction in the BMP Services is below 2 USD (the "Minimum") or the equivalent of this amount in other currencies. The MPF equals the fixed minimum fee charged by most payment processing companies, and it may range from approximately $0.05 to $0.30 per transaction. For any cross-border international transactions, the MPF may be higher, as it will include currency conversion costs charged by these providers - usually 2.5% of the transaction cost. Please check the payment provider's policies and processing fees before using it in the BMP Services.
To avoid paying the MPF, you might want to aggregate transactions, so that the checkout sum is always higher than the Minimum stated above, or you might consider buying BMP credits (as defined herein) and use them as pre-paid virtual tokens to purchase music, pay the subscription fees or even donate the credits to someone else's BMP account.
BMP plans to accept a variety of different payment methods; however, as of now, PayPal is the only APM available. Please check the BMG Websites for other methods which may be available in the future.
The prices stated in the BMP Services are expressed in terms of the appropriate number of BMP Credits and/or the currency appropriate for the country where BMP Playlists are published and made available for purchase.
4a. All prices mentioned in this document are temporarily altered by a Promotional Scheme, active until February 28, 2011. Exclusively with the use of the BMP288 Promotional Code, the prices are as follows: Published Price per User's own built Playlist: 188 credits, equal to 188 smallest indivisible monetary units of respective countries (VAT and other applicable taxes included) Published Price per Playlist built by other User: 288 credits, equal to 288 smallest indivisible monetary units of respective countries (VAT and other applicable taxes included) The abovementioned prices will be binding for BMP Users who have used the BMP288 Promotional Code until the day of February 28, 2011.
The BMP Premium Price applies to the price for BMP downloads and the price for downloads & streams of the audio tracks in Playlists built by BMP Full or Flex users from the catalogs of music provided by BMP's licensors,. It might include VAT and other applicable taxes and fees. The price appears in the Build Your Own section of the BMP Service next to each track chosen by the Playlist creator to build a personal or thematic Playlist. Only the Playlist creators can purchase selected tracks at this price.
The BMP Published Price applies to Playlists and tracks used to build the Playlists and made them available to the BMP registered FULL and FLEX users for purchase of the conditional download and limited 60-day streaming rights - the price may include VAT and other applicable taxes and fees. The price is set up and can be changed/adjusted by the creator using the BMP-devised algorithms. The algorithms include BMP base data on the music owner's and/or provider's recommended retail price, market data on the artist popularity, ‘the going rate' for similar tracks, and other relevant information necessary to set up a default or most likely price. The BMP user and Playlist creator can accept this BMP-recommended default price as the BMP Published Price or she/he can set up a different price; however, the new price must be within a range of prices set by an appropriate BMP algorithm.
The BMP Published Price determined that way, is then listed as the end-user or retail price next to each track and Playlist published in the BMP Services and available for purchase.
The BMP Playlist (the "Playlist") is a compilation of five (minimum) to eight (maximum) original, unaltered audio tracks available to the BMP Full and Flex users from the BMP catalogs as MP3 files. The tracks belong to their legal owners: the original artists, their record companies or distributors. Under the BMP license with the music providers, the BMP users can build their own personal or thematic playlist and recommend it to other users as a unique or different musical experience. Any track available from the BMP catalogs can be used to build such Playlist, including but not limited to, tracks uploaded by independent musicians and/or record labels, provided they have all the necessary rights to do so and permit BMP to publish and sell the music on their behalf.
Each Playlist should have its own title and description explaining its style, mood or the inspiration for its creation. A Playlist may not contain more than two recordings by the same artist. No more than three identical tracks can be built into two or more separate Playlists. The length of a Playlist may not be longer than 45 minutes; a single track in a Playlist may not be longer than 7 minutes, unless the other tracks in the Playlist are significantly less than 7 minutes long and the total length of the Playlist remains no more than 45 minutes.
Playlists created by the BMP users cannot be copyrighted as separate pieces of art or intellectual property, unless they consist of music, graphics and other protected content that is wholly owned or all the rights to this content are otherwise controlled by one owner. BMP reserves the right to store each Playlist in its original or altered sequence of tracks, including any description or art that might be associated with each Playlist, and use it for promotional purposes or with intent to record and distribute them, subject to BMP receiving all the necessary rights from the legal owners of the music to do so. The Playlist creator transfers all the rights that arise in connection with the creation of such Playlist to BMP.
The BMP Credits are virtual tokens representing limited license permission from Znak to be used in the BMP Service to use features of the BMP Services as set forth in this Agreement.
The BMP Premium and Published Prices of the audio tracks and Playlists, and the BMP Flex subscription fees may be represented in terms of a number of BMP Credits which may be exchanged with Znak by a user to purchase them. The prices of other products and services listed at and available for purchase through the BMP Services, including, but not limited to, the BMP Gear, and BMP and third party merchandise and virtual goods available for sale at an online shopping store also may be represented in terms of a number of BMP Credits which may be exchanged with Znak by a user to purchase them. Although BMP Credits are virtual tokens that are not redeemable for monetary value, for purposes of the purchases described above one BMP Credit will be deemed solely for these purposes to be equal to the value of 0.01 USD, for applicable transactions that originate in the US; 0.01 GBP for applicable transactions that originate in the UK; and, 0.01 Euro for applicable transactions that originate in Portugal and (if applicable) other Euro-zone countries in which Znak makes the BMP Services available. The BMP Credits can also be exchanged by a user with Znak at such deemed values with respect to VAT (if applicable) and other taxes and fees that constitute the total sum otherwise due at the check out from the BMP Shopping.
BMP Credits may be earned by BMP users as savings and rewards according to the following criteria:
For example: A BMP Full user creates a Playlist containing 8 tracks and publishes it in the BMP Services with the BMP Published Price of $6.00 (or 600 BMP Credits) in the USA and £6.95 (695 BMP Credits, incl. 19.5% VAT) in the UK. That Playlist was purchased in the US 300 times as a Playlist and 800 tracks were purchased from that Playlist for a total of $2,800 or 280,000 BMP Credits. In the UK, the results were 100 and 350, respectively and the total was £1,004 or 100,400 BMP Credits. Given these statistics and revenues generated, the Playlist creator would earn 10% of the first 500 purchases and 12% for each additional purchase in the US, and 10% for all purchases in the UK. However, the basis for the 10% reward in the UK has to exclude the applicable VAT. Therefore, the Playlist creator would earn 8,400 BMP Credits in the UK (in addition to his US BMP Credits). Please note that the example is a simplified illustration of how the credits are being calculated; it is by no means intended to be a typical or expected scenario; the actual number of qualified transactions might vary and purchases might be subject to additional fees, such as MPF, defined above, or international transfer fees (the "ITF") affecting the amount of BMP Credits earned. You acknowledge and agree that BMP Credits are not real currency or any type of financial instrument and are not redeemable for any sum of money from Znak at any time. BMP Credits are redeemable only as permitted under this Terms of Service and Use. You agree that Znak has the right to manage, regulate, control, and/or modify the license rights underlying such BMP Credits as it sees fit and that Znak will have no liability to you based on its exercise of this right.
The BMP Credits are transferable by the holder to any other user, provided that both users comply with this Terms of Service and Use, maintain their Accounts in good standing, and are not delinquent on any Account payment requirements. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or otherwise expressly permitted by Znak, the BMP Credits may not be transferred, sublicensed, encumbered, conveyed or made subject to any other disposition, and you agree that any attempted disposition in violation of this Terms of Service and Use is null and void. Znak may revoke BMP Credits at any time without notice, refund or compensation in the event that the BMP Credit program is suspended or discontinued; Znak determines that fraud or other illegal conduct is associated with the holder's Account; Znak imposes an expiration date on usage of BMP Credits in compliance with applicable laws and regulations; the holder's Account is terminated for violation of these Terms of Service and Use; or the holder becomes delinquent on any of that user's Account payment requirements, ceases to maintain an active Account or terminates this Agreement.
8a. The abovementioned amounts and percentages of BMP Credit earnings are temporarily altered by a Promotional Scheme, active until February 28, 2011. Playlists built by BMP Users who have used the BMP288 Promotional Code will earn 88 BMP Credits, equal to 88 smallest indivisible monetary units of respective countries (VAT and other applicable taxes included), upon purchase of said Playlists by other BMP Users. The above regulation will be in effect until the day of February 28, 2011.
BMP users can earn or purchase the BMP Credits using the BMP Shopping Cart and available payment methods. The BMP Credits can also be transferred or exchanged between the registered users, for example, by donating a given number of BMP Credits earned by one user to another. If any such transaction is international, that is, involves transfer of credits or monies to pay for the credits over national borders, then BMP may charge the user receiving the credits an International Transfer Fee or ITF. This fee is the monetary equivalent of 2.5% of the value of the cross-border transaction, plus any currency conversion fees charged by international banks and payment agencies.
For example: A BMP user based in the USA has earned 8,400 BMP Credits as a reward for UK purchases of a Playlist he built and recommended to the BMP music lovers in UK. Because the Credits were earned in UK, they represent £84 (not $84). Should the user chose to transfer the Credits to his US account, BMP would need to convert them using the current currency conversion rate, as published by the Financial Times on the day of the exchange, and charge 2.5% ITF. If the GBP/USD exchanges were 1.5445 that day, then the user would receive 12,974 minus 2.5% or 12,495 BMP Credits to be used in the US.
BMP may change the subscription fee for the BMP Flex level of your membership from time- to-time. Such changed fee will take effect after the end of the then current subscription term (i.e. the term that you have already paid for). Any price change will be communicated to you. If you do not wish to be bound by such changed price relating to your Flex Membership, you may terminate your BMP Flex subscription in accordance with this Terms of Service and Use. Please note that such termination will cause removal of all current Playlists you might have active in the BMP Services. Your continued use of the BMP Flex account and/or your Playlists after the communication of such price change to you constitutes an acceptance of such new price.
At registration as a BMP Flex user, you have a choice of setting up and activating the recurring payment option. If you chose to do so, your subscription to the BMP Flex service will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term, as declared at registration, and your account will be automatically charged with the monthly subscription fee, using the designated payment method, unless you terminate your subscription prior to the end of such subscription term in accordance with the Terms of Service and Use.
The BMP Platform has features that allow you to make your profile or parts of it publicly available, embed your Playlists on third party sites, share links with, comment and recommend tracks and Playlists to other users of the BMP Services and integrate your activities in the BMP Services with functionality offered by third party social networking services, including, but not limited to, Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. You may choose whether to use the social networking features or not. If you use BMP social networking, you must respect other users in your interactions with them.
