the lead, even if the lead was unaware of any particular purchase, if a
family member exceeded his or her authority as granted by the lead, or

member, including purchases made on the Lead's payment method while the
exiting member was part of the Family. Similarly, if you leave a Family,
you may no longer view or download the products or information of the
other Family members, and products that you downloaded from other Family
members while a member of the Family may no longer be accessible.
n)

hereunder, in whole or in part, to any third party without the prior
written consent of Musica.
19. Warranty

endeavor to provide the best service we can, but you understand and
agree that THE MUSICA SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. YOU USE THE MUSICA SERVICE AT
YOUR OWN RISK. MUSICA DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
In addition, Musica does not warrant, endorse, guarantee or assume
responsibility for any Third Party Applications, Third Party Application

caution where appropriate. No advice or information whether oral or in
writing obtained by you from Musica shall create any warranty on behalf
of Musica in this regard.
20. Limitation

agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, your sole and
exclusive remedy for any problems or dissatisfaction with Musica, the
Third Party Applications or the Third Party Application content is to

TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MUSICA, ITS
OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, DIRECTORS, SUBSIDIARIES,
AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR
(i) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR
CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR PROFITS)
DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE MUSICA SERVICE,
THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS OR THIRD PARTY APPLICATION CONTENT, REGARDLESS
OF LEGAL THEORY, WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER MUSICA HAS BEEN WARNED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE; (ii) AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO
THE MUSICA SERVICE, THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS OR THIRD PARTY APPLICATION
CONTENT MORE THAN THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO MUSICA DURING THE PRIOR
THREE MONTHS IN QUESTION.
21. Waiver and Indemnity
By
using the Musica service, you agree, to the extent permitted by law, to
indemnify and hold Musica, its directors, officers, employees,
affiliates, agents, contractors, and licensors harmless with respect to
any claims arising out of your breach of these Terms of Use, your use of
the Musica Service, or any action taken by Musica as part of its
investigation of a suspected violation of these Terms of Use or as a
result of its finding or decision that a violation of these Terms of Use
has occurred. This means that you cannot sue or recover any damages
from Musica, its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents,
contractors, and licensors as a result of its decision to remove or
refuse to process any information or content, to warn you, to suspend or
terminate your access to the Musica service, or to take any other
action during the investigation of a suspected violation or as a result
of Musica's conclusion that a violation of these Terms of Use has
occurred. This waiver and indemnity provision applies to all violations
described in or contemplated by these Terms of Use.
22. Entire agreement
These
Terms of Use constitute all the terms and conditions agreed upon
between you and Musica and supersede any prior agreements in relation to
the subject matter of these Terms of Use, whether written or oral. Any
additional or different terms or conditions in relation to the subject
matter of the Terms of Use in any written or oral communication from you
to Musica are void. You represent that you have not accepted the Terms
of Use in reliance on any oral or written representations made by Musica
that are not contained in the Terms of Use.
Occasionally we may
offer you the chance to participate in sweepstakes, contests, and
surveys (Special Promotions) through the Musica Service. Special
Promotions may be governed by terms and conditions that are separate
from these Terms of Use. If the provisions of a Special Promotion’s
terms and conditions conflict with these Terms of Use, those separate
terms and conditions shall prevail.
23. Severability
Should
any provision of these Terms of Use be held invalid or unenforceable
for any reason or to any extent, such invalidity or enforceability shall
not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable the
remaining provisions of the Terms of Use, and the application of that
provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.
24. Choice of law and mandatory arbitration
a)
These Terms of Use are subject to the laws of Canada, without regard to
choice or conflicts of law principles. Further, you and Musica agree to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Canada to resolve any
dispute, claim or controversy in connection with these Terms of Use.
b)
You and Musica agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out
of or relating in any way to the Musica Service or your use thereof,
including these Terms of Use, shall be determined by mandatory binding
arbitration.
You agree that the Arbitration Act, Cap. 49 Laws of
Canada governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and
that you and Musica are each waiving the right to a trial and the right
to participate in a class or multi-party action/suit.
This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and the termination of your Musica account.
YOU
AND MUSICA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN
YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS MEMBER OR IN ANY
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR PROCEEDING. Further, no arbitrator shall
consolidate any other person’s claims with your claims, and may not
otherwise preside over any form of a multi-party or class proceeding. If
this specific provision is found to be unenforceable in any way, then
the entirety of this arbitration section shall be null and void. The
arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief.
Any
arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with
Chartered Institute of Arbitrators within ONE (1) YEAR after the date
the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of
the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim; and there shall
be no right to any remedy for any claim not asserted within that time
period. If applicable law prohibits a one-year limitations period for
asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time
period permitted by applicable law.
