The content, software, images, text, graphics, illustrations, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, photographs, audio, videos, music, and the overall appearance of the Services (collectively referred to as “BNN Content”) are owned or licensed by BNN, except for any User Content that you upload or transmit. You may not use the BNN Content or materials on the Services for any purposes not expressly permitted by these Terms. You are strictly prohibited from downloading, copying, reproducing, distributing, transmitting, broadcasting, displaying, selling, licensing, or otherwise exploiting the BNN Content without our or our licensors’ prior written consent. We and our licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted in and to their content.

By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that we may generate revenues or increase our value from your use of the Services, including through the sale of advertising, sponsorships, promotions, usage data, and virtual items (as defined in the “Virtual Items Policy”). Unless permitted by us in these Terms or another agreement you enter into with us, you have no right to share in any revenue, goodwill, or value generated by your use of the Services, and you have no right to receive any income or other consideration from any User Content or your use of any musical works, sound recordings, or audiovisual clips made available to you on or through the Services.

You are granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, worldwide license to access and use the Services, including to download the Platform on a permitted device, and to access the BNN Content solely for your personal, non-commercial use and solely in compliance with these Terms. BNN reserves all rights not expressly granted herein in the Services and the BNN Content. We may terminate this license at any time for any reason or no reason.

You acknowledge and agree that you view content provided by others on the Services at your own risk. The content on our Services is provided for general information only and is not intended to constitute advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking or refraining from any action based on the content on our Services.

We make no representations, warranties, or guarantees, whether expressed or implied, that any BNN Content (including User Content) is accurate, complete, or up to date. Our Services may contain links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, which are for your information only. We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources and do not endorse them. We have no obligation to pre-screen, monitor, review, or edit any content posted by you or other users on the Services, including User Content.

B. User-Generated Content

Users of the Services are allowed to share User Content, which includes text, photos, videos, sound recordings, and music. They may also use locally stored sound recordings and ambient noise to create videos, as well as add BNN Elements such as music, graphics, stickers, and Virtual Items. However, the information and materials in User Content, including those that include BNN Elements, are not verified or approved by BNN. The views expressed by other users on the Services do not represent BNN’s views or values.

If you upload or transmit User Content through the Services, you must comply with the standards set out in “Your Access to and Use of Our Services.” You may also upload your User Content on third-party sites or platforms, but you must comply with their content guidelines and the standards set out in “Your Access to and Use of Our Services.”

By sharing User Content, you warrant that it complies with the standards set out above, and you will be liable for any breach of that warranty. You must not post any User Content that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.

When you submit User Content through the Services, you agree that you own that User Content or have received all necessary permissions, clearances, or authorizations from the owner of any part of the content to submit it to the Services, transmit it to other third-party platforms, and adopt any third-party content. If you only own the rights to a sound recording but not to the underlying musical works, you must not post such sound recordings to the Services unless you have all necessary permissions, clearances, or authorizations from the owner of any part of the content.

You or the owner of your User Content still own the copyright in User Content sent to BNN, but by submitting User Content via the Services, you grant BNN an unconditional, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully transferable, perpetual worldwide license to use, modify, adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, publish, transmit, distribute, and authorize other users of the Services and third-parties to view, access, use, download, modify, adapt, reproduce, make derivative works of, publish, and transmit your User Content on any format and platform, either now known or hereinafter invented. You also grant BNN a royalty-free license to use your user name, image, voice, and likeness to identify you as the source of your User Content.

The rights granted in the previous paragraph include the right to reproduce sound recordings and publicly perform and communicate sound recordings and the musical works embodied therein on a royalty-free basis. This means that BNN can use your User Content without the obligation to pay royalties to any third party, including a sound recording copyright owner, a musical work copyright owner, a performing rights organization, a sound recording PRO, any unions or guilds, and engineers, producers, or other royalty participants involved in the creation of User Content.

If you are a composer or author of a musical work affiliated with a PRO or have assigned your rights to a music publisher, you must notify your PRO or obtain your publisher’s consent to grant the royalty-free license(s) set forth in these Terms in your User Content. If you are a recording artist under contract with a record label, you are solely responsible for complying with any contractual obligations you may have to your record label, including if you create any new recordings through the Services that your label may claim.

You control whether your User Content is made publicly available on the Services to all other users or only to people you approve. To restrict access to your User Content, you should select the privacy setting available within the Platform.

BNN has the right to disclose your identity to any third party who claims that any User Content posted or uploaded by you to our Services violates their intellectual property rights or right to privacy. BNN also reserves the right to remove, disallow, block, or delete any User Content that violates these Terms, in response to complaints from other users or third parties, or at BNN’s sole discretion.

If you send Feedback to BNN regarding our product ideas and features, you agree that BNN has no obligation to review, consider, or implement your Feedback or to keep it confidential. Feedback is provided on a non-confidential basis, and BNN is not under any obligation to refrain from using or disclosing it in any way. You also grant BNN an irrevocable and unlimited permission to use, modify, distribute, create derivative works of, publicly perform, communicate to the public, make available, publicly display, and exploit Feedback and derivatives thereof for any purpose and without restriction, free of charge and without attribution of any kind.

8. Indemnity

We may change, suspend, withdraw, or restrict the availability of any part of our platform at any time without notice.

We are not liable for any indirect or consequential losses incurred by you, including loss of profit, goodwill, opportunity, or data, except to the extent expressly set out in these Terms.
