You acknowledge and agree that Company may disable access to and/or terminate your account and/or remove or disable access to any Recordings or any associated materials you provide to Company in the event that Company receives any claim that, if true, would constitute a violation of your representations and warranties hereunder.

(b) You agree not to engage in (or to permit, encourage, enlist, retain, or employ third parties to engage in), activities that, in Company’s sole discretion, constitute Streaming Manipulation.

1. “Streaming Manipulation” means any activity and/or method which involves the artificial creation, by human or non-human means, of online or offline plays on audio and/or audio-visual streaming services, where such plays do not represent bona fide end-user listening and/or views initiated by genuine consumers and taking place in the reporting country. Streaming Manipulation may involve or include, but is not limited to, increasing, generating or manipulating play counts, sales, follow counts, engagement activity, or other key metrics used by the Services and/or any Partner Store, through the use of (A) bots, scripts, viruses, worms or any other computer codes, files, programs or automated processes; and/or (B) click-farms, troll-farms, inauthentic accounts, shared account information, or virtual private networks. Streaming Manipulation can be the result of activities undertaken with respect to either individual or groups of Recordings in order to artificially improve chart positioning, increase market share, increase royalty or other payments, or for any other fraudulent or dishonest purposes.
2. You should be aware that Streaming Manipulation may be the result of the actions of a third party, such as a promotion or marketing company, record label or music distributor, acting on behalf of an artist or on its own behalf. You are encouraged to investigate and vet any companies or individuals you may enlist, retain, or employ to promote or market your music, as you may be liable for Streaming Manipulation perpetrated by a third party on your behalf. For the avoidance of doubt, any Streaming Manipulation done by a third party on your behalf or that relates to your Recordings is a violation of these Terms of Service.
3. The factors used to determine whether any particular consumption or marketing activity is Streaming Manipulation will vary according to the specific circumstances of each case and the examples and descriptions of Streaming Manipulation set forth herein are not intended to be exhaustive.
4. Certain Partner Stores that use your Recordings may also have policies related to fraud and suspected fraudulent activities and you agree that it is your responsibility to become aware of and follow such policies, and such policies shall be binding upon you hereunder.

(c) In the event that Company has, in its good faith discretion, reason to suspect that your account or Recordings have been subjected to, involved in, or generated revenue from: violating the Terms of Service; fraud; infringement of copyright, trademark, right of publicity or any other intellectual property right; failure to comply with any third-party license requirement; or Streaming Manipulation (collectively, “Improper Conduct”), Company reserves the right to (i) discontinue the posting of income, including any Net Income or other payments to your account, (ii) block your ability to otherwise withdraw funds therefrom until resolution of the suspect activities to the satisfaction of Company is obtained, y (iii) remove any or all of your Recordings from any or all Partner Stores. You further agree that such revenues will be forfeited by you if Company determines, in its good faith discretion, that your account or Recordings have been subjected to, involved in, or generated revenue from Improper Conduct.
(d) You further agree to the following:

1. You agree to provide Company with any information reasonably requested by Company as part of its investigation into Improper Conduct.
2. You agree that if one of the Company partner notifies Company that any of your Recordings have generated revenue, plays, or streams as a result of Improper Conduct, such notice will serve as sufficient evidence for Company to determine, in its good faith discretion, that such revenues or plays are the result of Improper Conduct.
3. If the Company reasonably suspect your account to have been subjected to, involved in, or generated revenue from Improper Conduct, you agree that all revenue in your account may be frozen during the anti-fraud investigation.
4. Upon Company’s determination that your account or Recordings have been subjected to, involved in, or generated revenue from Improper Conduct, you agree that all revenue in your account and/or frozen by Company is definitly forfeited, regardless of whether it was generated from any specific Recording(s) or Partner Store.
5. You agree that Company’s good faith determination of Improper Conduct can be based on streaming or other activity that is the same or similar to cases that the Company has previously determined involved Improper Conduct.
6. The payment of revenues to you by Company does not constitute Company’s acknowledgement that such revenues were not the result of Improper Conduct.
7. If Company determines that revenues generated to your account are the result of Improper Conduct, and such revenues have already been paid out to you, you agree to return such revenues to Company.
8. You agree that you will not be entitled to ask a refund for any fees paid by you to Company in the event Company disables access to your account, your Recordings and/or any other materials you provide to Company, or to any revenues forfeited by you as set forth in the preceding sentence.
9. To the extent that Company, in its good faith discretion, determines that any Improper Conduct was caused by you or your affiliates’ actions or omissions or by any third party acting on your behalf or at your direction, any costs incurred by Company (including legal fees and expenses) in connection therewith may, in addition to its other remedies, be deducted by Company from any monies otherwise payable to you.
10. If in Company’s reasonable business judgment it elects to engage an attorney to review potential Improper Conduct or review and/or respond to any third-party allegation of Improper Conduct by you or associated with your account or Recordings, Company shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to deduct from your account or charge any alternate payment method you provide to Company (such as a PayPal account, credit card or debit card) (each a “Payment Method”) the cost of such engagement, to offset the costs of associated legal fees and expenses.
11. Company has no tolerance for any form of harassement, threat and blackmail behavior from a user that Company reasonably suspected to violate our terms. Any form of harassement, threat or blackmail against Company or its human team due to an anti-fraud verification or decision, and instead of providing requested documentation, is a common pattern used by fraudsters. This kind of behavior will immediately lead the Company to confirm an improper conduct and to terminate your account.
12. Anonymous and repeated fake, dishonest and defamatory posts, publications and reviews made in order to harm Company without mentioning an improper conduct/fraud attempt from your side are against the law and severely sentenced by juridictions. More generally, if you believe we have committed an error, we believe you should always be able to handle the situation with respect and discretion. You will always be welcome to discuss your point of view in front of competent court, as Company always acts in the respect of the laws that applied to it, and in respect of our partners guidelines.

(e) You agree that Company may terminate your account in its sole discretion for any reason and at any time, if we reasonnably believed that you have engaged in Improper Conduct or violated our terms.
