Licensee shall have the right to use and permit others to use Licensor’s (“Producer”) approved name, approved likeness, and other approved identification and approved biographical material concerning the Producer solely for purposes of trade and otherwise without restriction solely in connection with the New Song recorded hereunder.

Licensee shall use its best efforts to ensure that Producer is properly credited and Licensee shall check all proofs for accuracy of credits, and shall use its best efforts to cure any mistakes regarding Producer's credit. In the event of any failure by Licensee to issue credit to Producer, Licensee must use reasonable efforts to correct any such failure immediately and on a prospective basis.

Licensee shall have five (5) business days from its receipt of written notice by Licensor and/or Licensor’s authorized representative to cure any alleged breach of this Agreement by Licensee. Licensee’s failure to cure the alleged breach within five (5) business days shall result in Licensee’s default of its obligations, its breach of this Agreement, and at Licensor's sole discretion, the termination of Licensee’s rights hereunder.
If Licensee engages in the commercial exploitation and/or sale of the Beat or New Song outside of the manner and amount expressly provided for in this Agreement, Licensee shall be liable to Licensor for monetary damages in an amount equal to any and all monies paid, collected by, or received by Licensee, or any third party on its behalf, in connection with such unauthorized commercial exploitation of the Beat and/or New Song.
Licensee recognizes and agrees that a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Licensee give rise to irreparable injury to Licensor, which may not be adequately compensated by damages. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Licensee of the provisions of this Agreement, Licensor may seek and shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction restraining the Licensee from violating the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall prohibit Licensor from pursuing any other available legal or equitable remedy from such breach or threatened breach, including but not limited to the recovery of damages from the Licensee. The Licensee shall be responsible for all costs, expenses or damages that Licensor incurs as a result of any violation by the Licensee of any provision of this Agreement.

Licensor warrants that the manufacture, sale, distribution, or other exploitation of the New Song hereunder will not infringe upon or violate any common law or statutory right of any person, firm, or corporation; including, without limitation, contractual rights, copyrights, and right(s) of privacy and publicity and will not constitute libel and/or slander.
Licensee warrants that the manufacture, sale, distribution, or other exploitation of the NewSong hereunder will not infringe upon or violate any common law or statutory right of any person, firm, or corporation; including, without limitation, contractual rights, copyrights, and rights of privacy and publicity and will not constitute libel and/or slander. The foregoing notwithstanding, Licensor undertakes no responsibility whatsoever as to any elements added to the New Song by Licensee, and Licensee indemnifies and holds Licensor harmless for any such elements.

Licensee shall have no obligation to approve the use of any sample thereof; however, if approved, any payment in connection therewith, including any associated legal clearance costs, shall be borne by Licensee. Knowledge by Licensee that “samples” were used by Licensor which were not affirmatively disclosed by Licensor to Licensee shall shift, in whole or in part, the liability for infringement or violation of the rights of any third party arising from the use of any such “sample” from Licensor to Licensee.
Parties hereto shall indemnify and hold each other harmless from any and all third party claims, liabilities, costs, losses, damages or expenses as are actually incurred by the non-defaulting party and shall hold the non-defaulting party, free, safe, and harmless against and from any and all claims, suits, demands, costs, liabilities, loss, damages, judgments, recoveries, costs, and expenses; (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees), which may be made or brought, paid, or incurred by reason of any breach or claim of breach of the warranties and representations hereunder by the defaulting party, their agents, heirs, successors, assigns and employees, which have been reduced to final judgment; provided that prior to final judgment, arising out of any breach of any representations or warranties of the defaulting party contained in this agreement or any failure by defaulting party to perform any obligations on its part to be performed hereunder the non-defaulting party has given the defaulting party prompt written notice of all claims and the right to participate in the defense with counsel of its choice at its sole expense. In no event shall Licensee be entitled to seek injunctive or any other equitable relief for any breach or non-compliance with any provision of this agreement.
Under no circumstances shall Licensor be liable to Licensee for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, even if Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
The Beat is provided "as-is," and Licensor makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the Beat, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Licensee acknowledges that any breach of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm to Licensor, and that monetary damages may be inadequate. Accordingly, Licensor shall have the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce this Agreement.
Licensor shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, strikes, labor disputes, government orders, or any other force majeure event.

Licensee shall have five (5) business days from its receipt of written notice by Licensor and/or Licensor’s authorized representative to cure any alleged breach of this Agreement by Licensee.

Nothing herein shall prohibit Licensor from pursuing any other available legal or equitable remedy from such breach or threatened breach, including but not limited to the recovery of damages from the Licensee.

In no event shall Licensee be entitled to seek injunctive or any other equitable relief for any breach or non-compliance with any provision of this agreement.
Under no circumstances shall Licensor be liable to Licensee for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, even if Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
