Moreover, MEUS aims to produce, commercialize, distribute (retailing or wholesale) digital and/or multi-media products and any other product. Joining MEUS is free for the basic version and can provide for the subscription of different types of paid services according to the user’s choice.
2. Inability to make purchases.
In this version of the Software, you may not make any purchase transactions. Therefore, you agree that any Subscription, Virtual Goods and Virtual Money available for purchase in the Software, as well as the prices and fees thereof, are not true and official in this beta version, but are for testing purposes only and therefore do not imply any cash disbursement for the user or any obligation on the part of the developer to provide the relevant product or service that is being offered or any other obligation on the part of the seller in customary purchase transactions. MEUS in its sole discretion may change the terms of the offer in any manner and at any time. When and if MEUS makes it possible for you to actually and officially purchase Subscriptions, Virtual Goods, Virtual Money and any other products and services through the Software, it will update and/or replace this Agreement with a new one. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these general terms. You are encouraged to periodically review these general terms and conditions to stay informed of updates. You will have to accept the new Terms and Conditions in order to make purchases.
3. Service/Contests/Frieebies/Rewards.
a. MEUS is a platform where fans can get points whenever they listen to music on the biggest music streaming platforms and purchase tickets and merchandise of their favorite artists almost anywhere online. Certain organizers ("Organizers") can create contests and/or freebies by offering merit-based rewards of different types and levels to different users ("Fans") to incentivize and facilitate marketing of the Organizer and its activities by its Fans ("Contests/ Freebies").
b. By creating a Contest/Freebie on MEUS, the Organizer is offering Fans the opportunity to interact with artists. By participating in the Contest/ Freebie, the Fan accepts that offer and a contract between the Organizer and Fan is formed.
c. Organizers are wholly responsible for fulfilling obligations both implied and stated in any Contest/ Freebie they create and are required to fulfill all rewards if achieved. Organizers shall make a good faith attempt to fulfill each reward by its delivery date as noted in the Contest/ Freebie. For some rewards, the Organizer may need further information from Fans (e.g., a mailing address) to enable the Organizer to deliver the reward. The Organizer and/or MEUS shall request the information directly from Fan before the Contest/ Freebie reward is achieved. To receive the reward, Fans agree to provide the requested information to the Organizer and/or MEUS within a reasonable amount of time or as otherwise set forth in the Contest/ Freebie official rules.
d. MEUS reserves the right to reject, cancel, interrupt, remove, or suspend a Contest/ Freebie at any time and for any reason, and shall not be liable for any damages as a result of any such action. MEUS may terminate Contests/ Freebies and/or accounts of users that are single or repeat infringers of the intellectual property rights of others.
e. MEUS is not liable for any damages or loss incurred related to rewards or any use of the Service. MEUS is under no obligation to become involved in disputes between Organizers or Fans, including, but not limited to, disputes relating to the delivery of rewards MEUS does not oversee the performance or punctuality of rights and/or obligations associated with any Contests/ Freebies. You hereby release MEUS, its owners, shareholders, members, officers, employees, agents, licensees and successors from any claims, damages, or demands of any kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and the Service.
f. MEUS creates weekly fan leaderboards for each artist and monthly fan leaderboard for each Album/Single regardless of the direct and/or indirect promotion of the artist and MEUS does it totally free of charge. The fan certifications that MEUS will attribute to deserving fans have a strong identity communicative value in the fanbase, but they have no economic value and cannot be transferred in any way by the user. MEUS does not earn directly from the fan leaderboards; they are a feature developed with the sole purpose of recognizing fans with a symbolic prize for what the artists already ask them to do daily and/or that the fans themselves realize spontaneously. In no way can this activity be considered a copyright infringement. If the artist and/or his representative express their willingness to block or end the fan leaderboards or more generally close the artist’s profile on the app, MEUS will do so by communicating to its fans its express will. MEUS will not impersonate any artist; the official presence of an artist will be communicated by the verified symbol. On the contrary, the following will be reported “This artist is not yet on MEUS, invite her/him” with the possibility for the fan to invite her/him by signing an invitation petition if he wishes.
4. Use of Fan Finder.
a. On certain areas of our Service, you may be given the opportunity to interact with other users. Use of any interactive features of the Service is governed by and subject to the following terms. MEUS may terminate your account if we believe, using our sole discretion, that you have violated any of these rules, the terms in this Agreement, or any law.
b. No Violations of Third-Party Rights: You agree that you will not impersonate any person or organization, including without limitation, the personnel of MEUS. You further agree that you will not misrepresent an affiliation with another person or organization, nor will you post any content that contains slanderous or libelous comments about others, or that infringes any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or other intellectual property right of a third party (as well as rights of publicity and privacy). You agree that you will not collect or store personal data about other users except as permitted in the regular course of operation of the Service and pursuant to MEUS’s Privacy Policy.
c. You agree that you will not upload or transmit any content that contains unauthorized business solicitation of any type outside of the scope of the applicable Contest/Freebie or Artist that you support, including advertising products or services unrelated to the Contest/ Freebie, offering a product or service for sale.
d. No Viruses, Corrupting Files or Interference: You agree that you will not post any content that contains viruses, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may adversely affect the operation of MEUS’s system or a third party's computer.
