Terms of Use
TERMS OF USE
Welcome to NEXTSONG.LIVE (“NS”), wholly owned properties of MUSIC AUDIENCE EXCHANGE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“MAX”). We are excited to have you here. This document acts as our official terms and conditions (“Terms”) for services and products used or provided by MAX through NS (“Sites”). It is a legal contract between you, an individual user of at least 13 years of age or a single entity (“you,” “User”, “user” or, collectively, “Users”, “users”), and MAX regarding your use of our services and the purchase of products or services from the Sites. This agreement governs all purchases from the Sites. By using the Sites, you acknowledge and accept these Terms.
Please read these Terms carefully because they govern your use of our services, accessible via the Sites, which enable you to participate, support, or interact with Events.
Agreement to Terms
By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don't agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.
Changes to Terms or Services
We may modify the Terms at any time, at our sole discretion. If we do so, we'll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Sites or through other communications. It is important that you review any modified Terms because, if you continue to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms, you're indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don't agree to be bound by the modified Terms then you may no longer use the Services. Because our Services are evolving over time, we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.
Who May Use the Services
Eligibility
You may use the Services only if you are 13 years or older and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.
Using the Services; Payment Terms
Through the Services, you'll be able to find music, artist related live and recorded content, and various other Events hosted and operated by MAX, NS, STS, or third parties at various locations (each such location, a "Venue"). When you make a purchase through the Sites, you represent that: (i) any credit card information you supply is true and complete; and (ii) you'll pay the charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including any applicable taxes. You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets you purchased. You will not dispute or otherwise seek a "chargeback" from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets through the Sites. Should you do so, your tickets may be cancelled, and we may, in our sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision from using our Services. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have selected the correct Event for which you are purchasing a ticket. Except as otherwise stated in MAX's Refund Policy below, after your purchase of a ticket for a Paid Event is processed, the transaction is final, and MAX will have no liability for any disputes related to tickets purchased through the Sites.
Purchases from MAX through the Services may not be exempt from sales or use taxes simply because they are made from the Internet or because MAX is not required to collect sales or use tax by any particular state or region. Whether any sales tax will be collected on a given purchase and the amount of tax charged depends on a number of factors including whether the seller is subject to tax in a given jurisdiction. The purchaser is responsible for any applicable taxes not collected by MAX and certain states require purchasers to file a sales/use tax return annually reporting taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay such tax. For details, see the website of, or otherwise contact, the applicable taxing authority. If any sales tax will be collected directly by MAX in connection with a purchase, that amount will be shown either prior to the completion of any purchase or reflected in the final confirmation of that purchase.
Refund Policy
By purchasing Services (provided the Event is not cancelled) through our Sites, you are purchasing a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to participate in the Event. Further, by purchasing Services you agree and are aware that these purchases and contributions are non-refundable and non-returnable, except in the event of an Event cancellation. The license represented by the purchase may be terminated immediately if your Account is terminated for any reason, in MAX's sole and absolute discretion, or if MAX discontinues providing the Services.
Cancellations
On occasion, Events may be canceled or postponed by the artist or Event promoter. Should this occur, we will provide a refund of ticket fees or charges and any pre-Event artist services charges.
If a refund is provided, the value paid as well as the service fee and any applicable taxes will be refunded. If a refund is issued, it will be issued using the same method of payment that was used to purchase the original Services. If a credit card was used to make the refunded purchase, then only that actual credit card will receive the credit for the refund. MAX will not be liable for travel or any other expenses that you or anyone else incurs in connection with a canceled or postponed Event. The refund will be processed and issued within 30 business days from the date of the cancellation notice, or as soon thereafter as is administratively practical.
Events
All Events are organized and operated by either MAX or third parties. In the case where an Event is organized by a third party, MAX, NS, SL, and STS have no part in such organization or operation and such Event organizers and operators and/or Venue owners may have additional terms and conditions governing your attendance at an Event. You agree to comply with any such terms and conditions when you attend Events.

We welcome feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the Services ("Feedback"). You can submit Feedback by emailing us at support@set.live. You agree that all Feedback will be the sole and exclusive property of MAX and you hereby irrevocably assign to MAX and agree to irrevocably assign to MAX all of your right, title, and interest in and to all Feedback, including, without limitation, all worldwide patent rights, copyright rights, trade secret rights, and other proprietary or intellectual property rights therein.

If you believe that materials you uploaded or posted on the Services was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the Copyright Owner, the Copyright Owner's agent, or pursuant to applicable law, to make such materials available to MAX for use on the Services, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to our Copyright Agent:

Dispute Resolution
Please read this Section carefully; it may significantly affect your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.
Governing Law
These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
Agreement to Arbitrate
MAX is available by email at [support@set.live] to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Services. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. Each of you and we agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
If we do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant the immediately preceding paragraph, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance and breach), your and our relationship and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. You and we shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on you and us and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.
The JAMS rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures. If you initiate arbitration, to the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred and Fifty U.S. Dollars ($250.00), we will pay the additional cost. If we are required to pay the additional cost of the filing fees, you should submit a request for payment of fees to JAMS along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS. We will also be responsible for paying all other arbitration costs arising in connection with the arbitration, other than costs incurred by you for legal counsel, travel and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses not constituting fees or amounts payable to JAMS. You will not be required to pay fees and costs incurred by us if you do not prevail in arbitration. We will also pay JAMS to reimburse you for any portion of the $250 filing fee that is more than what you would otherwise have to pay to file suit in a court of law.
You and we understand that, absent this mandatory provision, you and we would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. You and we further understand that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
You and we each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in our respective individual capacities only and not as a class action, and you and we each expressly waive our respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and you and we shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Notwithstanding your and our agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either you or we may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.
You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out by emailing us at support@set.live. The notice must be sent within 30 days of your agreement to these Terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of this Section. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.
To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth above do not apply or if you have opted out of arbitration, you and we agree that any litigation between you and us shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in the State of Texas and Collin County. You and we expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in Texas for any litigation other than small claims court actions. In the event of litigation relating to these Terms or the Services, you and we agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial, except where a jury trial waiver is not permissible under applicable law.
No action arising out of these Terms or your use of the Services, regardless of form or the basis of the claim, may be brought by you more than one year after the cause of action has arisen (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause arose).
Changes
Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Changes to Terms or Services" Section above, if MAX changes this "Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to support@set.live) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated" date above or in the date of MAX's email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you'll arbitrate any dispute between you and MAX in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
General Terms
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between MAX and you regarding the Services, Events and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between MAX and you regarding the Services and Content. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without MAX's prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. MAX may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
Any notices or other communications provided by MAX under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given by MAX: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Sites. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
MAX's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of MAX. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise
