  2. Acceptance of Terms. The Service is provided to you under the terms and conditions of these Yahoo! Music Unlimited Terms of Service (“Additional Terms”) that supplement the Yahoo Terms of Service ("TOS") located at http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/utos/utos-173.html that are incorporated by reference. For clarity, the Subscription Service, the Permanent Download Service, and the MP3 Download Service is each a "Service" as defined in the Yahoo Terms of Service. Yahoo! reserves the right to update and change, from time to time, these Additional Terms and all documents incorporated herein by reference. You can always find the most recent version of these Additional Terms at http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/music/musictos/musictos-280.html and the most recent versions of the Yahoo Terms of Service at the URL listed above.

Music Unlimited Privacy Supplement at http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/launch/details.html.

  4. Yahoo ID Requirement. To access the Service, you must have a valid Yahoo ID. If you do not have a Yahoo ID, you will be prompted to complete the registration process before you can access the Service.

  5. Age requirements for use of the Service. The Service is available for individuals aged 13 years or older.

  6. Objectionable Material. You understand that by using the Service, you may encounter content that may be deemed offensive, indecent, or objectionable, which content may or may not be identified as having explicit language. Nevertheless, you agree to use the Service at your sole risk and that MusicNet, Yahoo, and their licensors shall not have any liability to you for content that may be found to be offensive, indecent, or objectionable.

  7. System Requirements. Use of the Service requires a compatible device, Internet access (fees may apply), operating systems and certain software (fees may apply) including the Yahoo! Music Jukebox (the “Software”), or hardware, and may require obtaining updates or upgrades from time to time. Because use of the Service involves hardware, software, and Internet access, your ability to use the Service may be affected by the performance of these factors. High speed Internet access is strongly recommended. You acknowledge and agree that such system requirements, which may be changed from time to time, are your responsibility. The Service is not part of any other product or offering, and obtaining any other product shall not be construed to represent or guarantee you access to the Service. Once Content (as defined in Section 7 below) is accessed and you receive the Content, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Content, and MusicNet, Yahoo shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage.

  8. Agreement Regarding Usage Rules. The Usage Rules (as defined in Section 9 below) differ for the Subscription Service, the Permanent Download Service, and the MP3 Download Service, and are as described in Sections 10 and 11 below, respectively. You agree that your streaming and downloading of sound recordings, information related to the sound recordings, video and artwork in connection with the Service (collectively, the “Content”) is further acknowledgement of your acceptance of and agreement to use such Content solely in accordance with the applicable Usage Rules as set forth below, and that any other use of the Content will constitute a breach of this Agreement and may constitute a violation of law, including copyright infringement. You acknowledge and agree that the Content may include security technology (including as referenced in Section 9 below) which is an inseparable part of the Content. The applicable Usage Rules shall govern your rights with respect to the Content, in addition to any other terms or rules that may have been established between you and another party. MusicNet and Yahoo reserve the right to modify the Usage Rules at any time. The Service and the Content are only for your personal, non-commercial use and are non-transferable (except as otherwise expressly authorized by Yahoo).

  9. You acknowledge that some aspects of the Service, Content, and administering of the Usage Rules entails the ongoing involvement of and/or monitoring by MusicNet, Yahoo and/or their licensors. Accordingly, in the event that MusicNet, Yahoo or any of their licensors changes any part of the Service or discontinues the Service (or any part thereof), which MusicNet, Yahoo or their licensors may do at their election, you acknowledge that you may no longer be able to use Content to the same extent as prior to such change or discontinuation, and that neither MusicNet nor Yahoo shall have any liability to you in such case. Availability of any Content is subject to change at any time.

  10. Privacy Policy. Your personal information and information regarding your use of the Service (including any Content) may be collected by MusicNet, Yahoo or their licensors (including via automated means) in order to validate and authenticate information provided by you and to monitor your compliance with this Agreement and the Terms and Conditions set forth on the Site. Other than as set forth herein and in the Yahoo privacy policy referenced herein, your personal information will not be used or shared for any other reason.

  11. The Subscription Service will be customized for you. As stated, to access the Subscription Service, you must obtain a Yahoo! ID and password. This information is transmitted to and collected by Yahoo! when you sign in to verify your identity. Furthermore, Yahoo! may collect information regarding your use of the Software and Subscription Service on an ongoing basis to customize your experience, including marketing and advertising. This information may be sent from your computer to Yahoo via a third party. Information necessary to operate the Subscription Service or Software may be sent to third parties.

    The Yahoo! Music Jukebox contains menu items that access features of the Yahoo! Music Jukebox, including links to certain websites, song files and artist pages. Yahoo collects information regarding your use of the features on the Yahoo! Music Jukebox. From time to time, some menu item buttons may be used to advertise or promote products and services. Also, as is generally the case with all websites, websites you visit through links on the Music Jukebox may contain banner advertisements, paid links or other promotions.

    The Yahoo! Music Jukebox contains a search box that returns search results pages in response to queries that you may enter. All queries that are submitted by you through the search box are transmitted to and collected by Yahoo!. Search results pages will often contain advertising in the form of sponsored search results, banner advertisements or other promotions. Advertising shown to you on the search results pages may be related to the search query you entered.

  12. Security. You understand that the Service, and products accessed through the Service, such as Content, and the Software, includes a security framework using technology that is designed to protect digital information and limits your access and use of Content according to certain usage licensing rules established by MusicNet, Yahoo and their licensors and will govern your rights with respect to that Content (“Usage Rules”). You agree to comply with such Usage Rules, as further outlined below, or as set forth in the Terms of Service or in the FAQ, and you agree not to violate the Usage Rules or attempt to violate any security components of the Service, Content or Software. You agree not to attempt to, or assist another person to, circumvent, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise tamper with any of the security components related to such Usage Rules for any reason whatsoever. Usage Rules may be controlled and compliance with Usage Rules may be monitored by MusicNet, Yahoo and/or their licensors, and MusicNet, Yahoo, and their licensors reserve the right to enforce the Usage Rules with or without notice to you. You will not access or use the Service by any means other than through the Software that is provided by MusicNet and/or Yahoo for accessing the Service. You agree not to modify the Software or Content in any manner or form, or to use modified versions of the Software, for any purposes including obtaining unauthorized access to the Service. Violations of system or network security, including without limitation the Usage Rules, may result in civil or criminal liability. Such rules and policies will be applied generally in a nondiscriminatory manner to users of the Service and Software, and may include, for example, required or automated updates, modifications, and/or reinstallations of the Software and obtaining available patches to address security, interoperability, and/or performance issues. Failure to permit such updates, modifications and/or reinstallations may result in interruption or termination of the Service without notice to you.

  13. The Subscription Service

    1. Description. The Subscription Service is the digital music service offered to you for a monthly fee which, when paid, will enable you to engage in unlimited on-demand streaming, conditional downloading, and LAUNCHcast Radio Plus. You may engage in unlimited on-demand streaming by listening either to any of the full songs or to :30 second samples from the available catalog as many times as you choose for personal non-commercial use (“On-Demand Streams”). Conditional Downloading means downloading of Content to your hard drive which may be accessed by you for personal non-commercial use for the duration of your subscription (‘Conditional Download”). As long as you maintain your monthly subscription, you will have the ability to continue to download such Content to your hard drive and to listen to your library of Conditional Downloads as many times as you choose. Subject to a monthly renewal of your rights (as provided in subsection (b) below), you are not required to be on-line to access Conditional Downloads.

    2. Usage Rules for the Subscription Service. You may copy each Conditional Download to up to two additional personal computers (i.e. a total of 3 copies). Additionally, you may copy each Conditional Download to up to 2 portable devices provided such devices adhere to the Usage Rules and security requirements, as may be established by MusicNet, Yahoo and/or their licensors from time-to-time. If you wish to transfer Conditional Downloads to portable devices, you may be required to “opt-in” to that tier of the service, and additional fees may be assessed as provided on the Site and may be subject to change without notice from time-to-time. If you wish to burn Conditional Downloads to CDs you will need to pay for them as Permanent Downloads (per the terms described below). You may not record or redistribute On-Demand Streams. MusicNet will automatically renew your rights to all of your Conditional Downloads at the beginning of each month that you are a subscriber so long as your subscription remains current. This means that in order to play any Conditional Download after the end of a month, you must log on to the Service so that MusicNet can renew your rights for that Content.

    3. Subscription Service Fees. By completing the Subscription Service registration, you authorize Yahoo to charge the recurring subscription fee to your designated credit card. Payment for the Subscription Service occurs on a pre-pay basis. Monthly subscribers are billed monthly, commencing upon Subscription Service registration (or at the end of any promotional free trial period). Annual subscribers are billed annually, commencing upon Subscription Service registration (or at the end of any promotional free trial period). At the end of each billing period, depending on the subscription plan you select, your subscription will automatically renew at the then-current rate for the same term, unless you tell us to cancel. The credit or debit card you register to access Yahoo! Music Unlimited or that is charged for the original subscription will be automatically charged on the anniversary date of your initial registration for a renewal term of the same duration (i.e., monthly or annually) as your original subscription. All subscription fees are subject to change, in the sole discretion of Yahoo. You will receive at least 10 days advance notice of any change in fees. If you do not accept the new fees, you must terminate your subscription before your subscription is renewed. In order to cancel your subscription before it is renewed, follow the directions at http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/music/jukebox/myaccount/myaccount05.html .Any such cancellation will result in the termination of your ability to access the Subscription Service at the end of the term for which you have paid or at the conclusion of any free trial period, as applicable.

    4. Trial Offer Pre-Authorizations. You may be required to provide your credit or debit card number to register for a trial offer to the Subscription Service. You agree that Yahoo may obtain prior authorization from the issuer of your credit or debit card to charge the applicable subscription fee in the event you do not cancel your subscription to the Service on or before the completion of your free trial. A prior authorization is not a charge; it is simply a guarantee from your bank that it will make the necessary funds available in the event you continue your subscription. Each bank has its own policy with respect to how it treats pre-authorized funds. Even though the preauthorization is not an actual charge, some financial institutions may treat pre-authorized funds as pending charges and accordingly may temporarily reduce your total available credit by the amount of funds subject to the preauthorization. Because these policies are established by banks and not by Yahoo!, Yahoo! is not responsible for any consequences that may occur as a result of your bank’s practices, including (but not limited to) the imposition of overlimit fees or the temporary unavailability of a portion of your credit line.

    5. Community features. Subscribers to Yahoo! Music Unlimited are encouraged to use the service to discover new music and share their music listening experience with their friends. The Subscription Service offers features designed to enhance this experience, allowing subscribers to listen to friends’ playlists, discuss music with their friends on Yahoo! Messenger, listen to their Messenger friends’ music collections, and send a link to a song to other subscribers. These community features do not enable or permit users to copy and transfer music files to other users, and such uses are expressly prohibited.

    6. Termination of the Subscription Service. If (a) your credit card is invalid for any reason, (b) you charge back to your credit card the fees due under these Additional Terms, (c) it appears you have engaged in cheating or manipulation of the Subscription Service, (d) Yahoo otherwise believes you have acted inconsistently with the spirit or letter of this Agreement, or (e) the license agreement between you and Yahoo with respect to the Software is terminated for any reason, then, your Subscription Service account will be suspended or cancelled immediately and all the information contained within it will immediately become inaccessible. Yahoo may, but has no duty to, immediately terminate the Subscription Service if Yahoo in its sole discretion concludes that you have provided false information in connection with your registration. Yahoo accepts no liability for information (whether or not related to the Service or Software) that is deleted or otherwise impacted due to termination. If your Subscription Service account is cancelled pursuant to this provision, you will not receive a refund.

  14. Permanent and MP3 Download of Content

    1. Description. The Permanent Download Service is the Service that provides Content that is capable of being downloaded to and stored on the hard drive of your computer and then transferred, burned or copied, solely for personal, noncommercial use subject to the terms and conditions below (“Permanent Downloads”). The MP3 Download Service is the Service that provides Content that is capable of being downloaded to and stored on the hard drive of your computer and then transferred, burned or copied, solely for personal, noncommercial use subject to separate terms and conditions below.

    2. Usage Rules for:

However, each purchase of a Permanent or MP3 Download shall be deemed a final, nonrefundable sale.
