You may register with the Indigo Prophet as a fan and create a user account (\u201cFan Account\u201d), which will allow you to access certain features of the Service that are only available through Fan Accounts, such as a wishlist, a fan profile page that lists your history of purchases of Music along with information that you choose to share about yourself, and the ability to follow other fans or Artists . Following an Artist or purchasing a subscription to an Artist (an \u201cArtist Subscription\u201d) gives that Artist access to your email address, as does making a purchase from an Artist while logged in to your Fan Account. Your wishlist, history of purchases of Music, and any information you provide for your profile page will be available to other users of the Service by default, subject to our Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n

Fan Personal Information – Artists.<\/h3>\n

As a condition to receiving such Fan Information, you acknowledge and agree that you will not disclose, rent, or sell any Fan Information to any third party, and you will use the Fan Information only in connection with the Artist\u2019s mailing list or Artist Subscription, in order to provide fans with general information and news about the Artist, such as upcoming shows, new Music or other Content delivered in connection with your Artist Subscription.

You will promptly implement a recipient\u2019s request to opt-out of receiving e-mails from you and will not send any further e-mails to such opting-out recipient.<\/p>\n

Registration.<\/h3>\n

You may browse the Site and view Content without registering, but as a condition to using certain aspects of the Service, you may be required to register with Indigo Prophet and select a password and screen name (\u201cUser ID\u201d). You shall provide Indigo Prophet with accurate, complete, and updated registration information. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of these Terms of Use, which may result in immediate termination of your Indigo Prophet account. You shall not (i) select or use as a User ID or domain a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (ii) use as a User ID or domain a name subject to any rights of a person other than you without appropriate authorization; or (iii) use as a User ID or domain a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene.

You are solely responsible for activity that occurs on your account and shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Indigo Prophet password. You shall never use another user\u2019s account without such other user\u2019s express permission. You will immediately notify Indigo Prophet in writing of any unauthorized use of your account, or other account related security breach of which you are aware.<\/p>\n

Fees and Payments \u2013 Fans.<\/h3>\n

You may purchase products and\/or services from an Artist through the Site, including, without limitation, purchases of Content (including digital Content made available via download and streaming through the Service (\u201cDigital Content\u201d)), physical merchandise (\u201cMerchandise\u201d) and Artist Subscriptions. Each such purchase is a \u201cTransaction.\u201d<\/p>\n

All inquiries regarding Transactions involving Merchandise only (a \u201cMerchandise Transaction\u201d) will be directed to the relevant Artist. Indigo Prophet is not responsible for refunds for Merchandise, except as provided in this Agreement.<\/p>\n

All sales of Digital Content are final (except where prohibited by law), unless otherwise determined by Indigo Prophet. If you do not receive the Digital Content or otherwise have an issue with the Digital Content delivered, please contact Indigo Prophet with your request and proof of payment, and we will notify the relevant Artist and work with them to resolve your issue. At Indigo Prophet\u2019s sole discretion, you may be credited or refunded for the Digital Content. However, you understand and agree that Indigo Prophet is a platform that Artists use to sell their products, and the Digital Content is derived from files provided by the relevant Artist, and the relevant Artist is solely responsible for such files.<\/p>\n

Your total price for Digital Content will include the price of the product plus any applicable sales tax; such sales tax is based on your location and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you purchase the product. We will charge tax only in states or countries where digital goods are taxable.<\/p>\n

If you purchase an Artist Subscription, your payment for such Artist Subscription will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period, unless you cancel your Artist Subscription before the end of the current subscription period. The cancellation will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period.<\/p>\n

Content you purchase in a Transaction cannot be guaranteed to be available to you perpetually. For example, if we receive a notification of claimed infringement from a copyright owner or its agent with respect to specific Content, then U.S. law may require us to remove that Content from the Service and not make it available for future sale and we may also have to deny continued access to anyone who previously purchased such Content. This means that you may lose access to purchased Content previously available to you through the Service.<\/p>\n

If we are required by law to deny access through the Service to previously purchased Content, including by removing access to Content from a user\u2019s personal collection through any mobile application, then Indigo Prophet and Artists will not provide the user who purchased that Content with a refund, except as required by applicable law. Users bear all risk from the denial of access to any Content purchased through the Service.<\/p>\n

Because there is a possibility that we may be required to deny you access to previously purchased Content, we encourage you to promptly download any Content you purchase through the Site to your own devices so that you will retain control and possession of such Content even if we are required to remove the Content from the Service.<\/p>\n

You warrant that if you enter into a Transaction, then you shall be able to make full and immediate payment for the requested products or services.<\/p>\n

Fees and Payments \u2013 Artists.<\/h3>\n

You will set the prices for your products and services that are charged through Transactions (the \u201cPrices\u201d) through the Site, and you may change the Prices at your sole discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Indigo Prophet may redistribute previously purchased copies of your products to users who have, in Indigo Prophet\u2019s sole determination, received a corrupted copy of your product, an incorrect file format version of your product, an incomplete copy of your product, or suffered a loss of your product through hard drive failure, damage, theft or destruction, on a no-fee basis to the user (i.e., the user is not charged a new fee for the redistribution). Such redistribution may be effectuated by allowing a user to redownload a replacement copy themselves. A user that has a Fan Account will also be permitted to redownload any previously purchased Content from an Artist. In the event of any of the foregoing redistributions, no additional payments shall be made to you for such redistributions.<\/p>\n

Indigo Prophet shall be entitled to a share of the revenue you receive from Transactions (the \u201cRevenue Share\u201d), which shall be calculated on your gross revenue from Transactions, not including any Transactions for which you or we provide a refund, in accordance with the rate schedule set forth at www.Indigo Prophet.com\/pricing. You shall be solely responsible and liable for, and Indigo Prophet shall have no responsibility or liability for, any Stripe fees (except for fees charged on Indigo Prophet\u2019s Stripe account), PayPal fees (except for fees charged on Indigo Prophet\u2019s PayPal account), credit card transaction fees (together, \u201cFees\u201d), bad debts (such as credit card returns or fraud), disputed payments, and refunds, except as provided in this Agreement.<\/p>\n

Indigo Prophet may withhold any taxes, duties, charges or levies on payments by Indigo Prophet to you pursuant to this Agreement as may be required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Indigo Prophet shall remit any such withheld taxes, duties, charges or levies to the appropriate tax authority.<\/p>\n

For Merchandise Transactions, payments received from users for Merchandise shall be directed to you, unless there is an outstanding Revenue Share owed to Indigo Prophet in which case such payments may be directed to Indigo Prophet in accordance with Indigo Prophet\u2019s standard policies. Indigo Prophet may retain funds otherwise payable to you if Indigo Prophet is required or chooses to provide a refund on your behalf.<\/p>\n

For Digital Content, Indigo Prophet will collect the purchase price and any applicable Fees and taxes. Indigo Prophet will pay you the gross proceeds we receive from the sale of Digital Content, minus the applicable Revenue Share and any applicable Fees (the \u201cArtist Payout\u201d).<\/p>\n

For Artist Subscriptions, payments received from users shall be directed to you (the \u201cSubscription Fee\u201d), minus the applicable Revenue Share and any applicable fees which shall be directed to Indigo Prophet at the time of each payment.<\/p>\n

When you receive a payment for Digital Content or Artist Subscription, you are liable to Indigo Prophet for the full amount of the payment sent to you plus any Fees if the payment is later invalidated for any reason. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment sent by the sender, plus the applicable Fees if there is a chargeback, a dispute, or if there is a reversal of the payment. You agree to allow Indigo Prophet to recover any amounts due to Indigo Prophet by debiting your account or withholding any Artist Payout or Subscription Fee. If there are insufficient funds to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse Indigo Prophet through other means.<\/p>\n

Indigo Prophet retains the right, but does not have the obligation, to immediately halt the offering or sale of any goods or services, prevent or restrict access to the Site or the Services or take any other action in case of technical problems, objectionable material, inaccurate listings, or actions otherwise prohibited by the procedures and guidelines contained on the Site, or for any other reason in the sole and absolute discretion of Indigo Prophet, and to correct any inaccurate listing or technical problems on the Site. Indigo Prophet may immediately halt the offering or sale of any goods or services upon receipt of notifications of claimed infringement, upon acquiring knowledge of actual infringement, or becoming aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing material is apparent with respect to any goods or services.<\/p>\n

Additional Fees.<\/h3>\n

In addition to the fees set forth above, Indigo Prophet reserves the right to require payment of fees for certain additional features of the Service, including but not limited to Indigo Prophet Pro or Label accounts. Should you elect to subscribe to such features, you shall pay all applicable fees, as described on the Site in connection with such features. Indigo Prophet reserves the right to change its price list and to institute new charges at any time, upon ten (10) days prior notice to you, which may be sent by e-mail or posted on the Site. Use of the Service by you following such notification constitutes your acceptance of any new or increased charges.<\/p>\n

When you access third party websites, you do so at your own risk.
