REMIX CONTEST TERMS & CONDITIONS

The terms (the “Terms” or the “Agreement”) govern your (“You,” or the “Entrant”) participation in the remix contest (the “Contest”) operated by CHAPTERD Recordings. By entering the Contest you agree that you have read these Terms and agree to be bound by them. Please read these Terms carefully as they form a binding legal agreement between You and CHAPTERD Recordings.

​

  1. CONTEST ENTRY 

    An eligible individual may enter the Contest by taking the following steps:

    1. preparing a remix (the “Remix”) of one of the songs specifically made available for purpose of being remixed (the “Eligible Songs”) initiated and monitored by CHAPTERD Recordings ;

    2. uploading the Remix and the component tracks of the Remix (“Remix Stems”) (the term “Eligible Songs” shall mean to include Remix Stems) to CHAPTERD Recordings, in any file format specified by CHAPTERD Recordings; and

    3. providing the necessary identifying information to enter the Contest on the Contest Page. 

      (the materials referenced above collectively form your “Entry”).

    No purchase is necessary to enter the Contest or open an account on the Website in order to access the Contest or enter the Contest.

  2. GRANT OF SUBLICENSE 

    Third party owners of the intellectual property to the Eligible Songs (our “Partners”) have granted CHAPTERD Recordings, among other rights, the right to sublicense the Eligible Songs to You in connection with the Contest, subject to the terms and conditions of these Contest Terms.

    CHAPTERD Recordings grants Entrants who have properly submitted an Entry to the Contest during the Contest Period a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable license to store, use, copy, display, perform and run the Eligible Songs for the sole purpose of remixing the Eligible Songs subject to these Terms including the sublicense conditions set out in section 15, and for no other purpose (the “Sublicense”).

  3. DURATION OF CONTEST 

    The Contest shall be open between the dates specified on the Contest Page (the “Contest Period”). Entries to the Contest will only be accepted during the Contest Period. An Entry will be accepted when CHAPTERD Recordings’s computer servers record Your Entry information as submitted. The sole determinant of time for the purposes of determining the beginning and end of the Contest Period shall be CHAPTERD Recordings’s computer servers. Any automatic computer receipt (such as a confirmation email) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of an Entry for the purpose of these Terms.

  4. ELIGIBILITY 

    The Contest is open only to individuals who, for the duration of the Contest Period:

    1. reside in a jurisdiction where the Contest is lawful;

    2. are over the age of majority and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in the jurisdiction where they reside or who have entered into the Contest with the informed consent of a legal guardian if under the age of majority;

    3. read and agree to be bound by these Terms and any terms of use and privacy policies CHAPTERD Recordings may have in place during the Contest Period; and

    The Contest is void where prohibited by law. 

    By entering the Contest You represent and warrant to CHAPTERD Recordings that you meet these criteria. CHAPTERD Recordings reserves the right to require proof of age and jurisdiction of residence prior to awarding You with a Prize. 

    Only Remixes of Eligible Songs will be accepted for the purpose of entering the Contest. Any Remixes of songs that are not Eligible Songs will not be considered.

  5. PARTICIPATION AND ODDS OF WINNING 

    No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win the Contest. Your odds of winning are affected by the number of qualifying Entries received and the quality of Your Entry.

  6. ONE ENTRY PER INDIVIDUAL 

    Each individual eligible to enter the Contest may only provide one (1) Entry per Eligible Song to the Contest. If an individual is determined, in CHAPTERD Recordings’s sole discretion, to have provided more than one (1) Entry for the same Eligible Song that individual’s Entries may be disqualified for that Eligible Song or all of the individual’s Entries into the Contest may be disqualified at the sole election of CHAPTERD Recordings. Entries may not be modified after being submitted.
