Clips will be accessed by customer app through Feed’s API which may provide secure URLs that will reset after 24 hours. In Feed.fm's sole determination, the Services may include use of Feed.fm Marks (as defined below) to identify Feed.fm as the provider of API Content (e.g., through the use of a notice such as "Powered by Feed Clips"), and Customer shall not interfere with or otherwise block or obscure the display of such notice. Customer acknowledges that the music catalog and individual tracks available through the Services are subject to change at any time without prior notice due to licensing rights expiration, rights holder restrictions, geographic limitations, or other factors beyond Feed.fm's reasonable control. Feed.fm may provide advance notice of planned content changes when reasonably feasible and in Feed.fm's sole discretion, but shall have no obligation to provide such notice and shall have no liability for any unavailability of specific Content. Customer acknowledges that access to and use of API Content is subject to compliance with security specifications and technical requirements ("Security Solution") established by content licensors. Customer shall ensure that Customer's Sites and all end user interactions with API Content adhere to all applicable Security Solution requirements, including but not limited to device authentication, geo-filtering, encryption standards, and anti-circumvention measures.

If and when Customer desires to obtain such professional services, Customer shall communicate to Feed.fm the type and extent of the services desired and Feed.fm shall develop and provide to Customer an SOW describing the desired services for Customer's review and approval. Feed.fm shall have no obligation to provide services to Customer, and Customer shall have no payment obligations for such services, unless and until an SOW specifying the scope of services to be provided and the costs thereof has been duly executed by authorized representatives of each party. Such SOWs, if any, shall be incorporated by reference into and made a part of this Agreement upon execution by authorized representatives of each party. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of an SOW and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the SOW shall govern with respect to the Services provided thereunder. The parties may, by mutual agreement, make changes ("Changes") to the scope, schedule, fees, term or other substantive aspects of the Services agreed to in any SOW. The party requesting a Change shall prepare a written "Change Order," specifying in adequate detail the requested Change(s), and shall submit it to the other party for review and, if accepted, approval thereof. In no event shall any Change be effective or acted upon in any way or implemented until a Change Order defining such Change has been approved in writing by the duly authorized representatives of both parties.
3.3 Additional Services. Subject to payment of Feed.fm's then-current applicable fees, Customer shall have access to certain mutually agreed upon additional services identified on the SOW. Additional services may include, without limitation, additional functionality, marketing tools, e-commerce support, advertising sales, special promotions, and additional analytics or reporting. Nothing herein shall obligate Feed.fm to provide any Additional Services, some or all of which may be discontinued by Feed.fm at any time; provided, however, that Feed.fm shall provide Customer with 90 days advance written notice prior to discontinuing any such additional services and; further provide, that, in the event any additional services are discontinued after Customer has paid a fee for a fixed term for such additional services, Feed.fm shall reimburse Customer for the pro rata portion of the fixed term for which the additional services have been discontinued.

Feed.fm shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Services and API are available at all times, other than during scheduled maintenance or circumstances beyond Feed.fm's reasonable control (including but not limited to force majeure events, third-party service outages, internet connectivity issues, or other technical limitations). Customer may email Feed.fm at support@Feed.fm to report concerns with the API or Services. Feed.fm shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any concerns reported via such support contact.
Feed.fm does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Services or API. Occasional periods of downtime, latency, or technical issues may occur.

3.5 Geographic Restrictions. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Services are currently available solely for use within the United States.

For Customers whose Site allows end users to upload their own content (videos, images, or other media) for synchronization with Feed Clips music, Customer must implement Content ID integration via Feed.fm's partner or another Feed.fm-approved automatic content recognition provider. Customer acknowledges that Feed.fm's performance obligations and indemnification commitments under this Agreement are expressly conditioned upon Customer's full and proper compliance with Content ID requirements. Customer shall use the Content ID service to validate that user-generated content contains only Feed.fm-licensed music. Customer shall provide Feed.fm with written proof of Content ID service acquisition, including documentation of the specific service tier and capability level obtained, prior to platform launch.

- Dispute Resolution
10.1 The following binding dispute resolution procedures shall be the exclusive means used by the parties to resolve all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to the Agreement (collectively, "Disputes"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, pending conclusion of the dispute resolution process herein prescribed, either party may seek and obtain an injunction or other appropriate relief from a court to preserve or protect its Proprietary Information or Intellectual Property Rights with respect to any matter.
10.2 The party seeking resolution of a Dispute, shall give the other party written notice describing the nature of the Dispute and the relief sought. Within 30 days following delivery of such Dispute notice, executives of each party will meet and attempt to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not finally resolved within 30 days (or such other period of time as the parties may agree to in writing) following delivery of such Dispute notice, then the party seeking relief may then initiate arbitration.
10.3 Any arbitration action shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The parties agree that any arbitration action shall be heard and decided by one arbitrator (the "Arbitrator") to be agreed upon by the parties. If the parties cannot agree upon an Arbitrator within 14 days of delivery or the demand for arbitration ("Demand") (or such other time period as the parties may agree to in writing), the parties agree to the appointment of a single arbitrator pursuant to R-11(a) and (b) of the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules or whatever AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules are then in effect for the appointment of a single arbitrator.

The "Prevailing Party" is the party that is awarded judgment or other legal or equitable relief as a result of the arbitration or the party receiving or entitled to receive a payment of money or the party defeating a claim for receipt or payment of money from the other party in settlement of the Dispute. If both parties receive a judgment or other award of relief, the Arbitrator shall determine which party, if any, is the Prevailing Party, or shall determine an appropriate allocation of costs and attorneys' fees between the parties, in each case taking into consideration the merits and amounts of the claims asserted by each party, the relative values of the judgments, or other forms of relief received by each party, the relative equities between the parties, and the parties' respective contributions to the length and expense or arbitration or proceeding.
10.6 THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN SUCH PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. FURTHER, CUSTOMER AGREES THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING AND THAT IF THIS SPECIFIC PROVISO IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION SECTION SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.
