Uploading Content: Any Content that you post, upload, contribute or otherwise make available (“Contribute”) on the ANONA Sites is referred to as “User Content”. By Contributing User Content to ANONA and/or via any ANONA Site, you grant ANONA a worldwide, royalty-free and for payment of no compensation of any kind, non-exclusive, perpetual, license to use, exploit and publicly perform and display such content via ANONA and/or on ANONA Sites.

You retain all rights in, and are solely responsible for, the User Content that you Contribute to ANONA and to the ANONA Sites. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not ANONA, are entirely responsible for all User Content that you Contribute to the ANONA Sites.

You acknowledge and agree that by using the ANONA Sites any User Content that you Contribute may be used, modified and/or altered by other persons (including as set out under the section Collaboration Agreement below) and that ANONA shall not be held responsible for any such use, modification or alteration.

ANONA does not claim any rights to User Content other than (i) the right to host and display such materials on the ANONA Sites, (ii) display and make such User Content available for the purposes of facilitating collaboration with other ANONA users (iii) to make available, publish, disseminate, publicly perform, broadcast for use in advertising, marketing and/or promotional materials in connection with the ANONA community and the ANONA Sites (including via online and social media posts) and/or (iv) in accordance with the terms of a License Agreement (see section relating to “Selected Collaborations” below).

You may only Contribute User Content that you wholly own and/or control the rights to, is appropriately licensed to you for the intended use, and/or where you have the express permission of the copyright owner(s) or their authorized representative(s). In all cases, you commit to adhere to any terms as set out by the owner, license or agreement. If you are Contributing content under a Creative Commons license, you agree that you will adhere to all requirements of such Creative Commons license including properly attributing the licensor and providing a link to the source of the original work. ANONA reserves the right to suspend your access to ANONA Sites, terminate content exchanges via any ANONA Site, and/or take any other action deemed necessary where ANONA believes User Content infringes on the rights of third parties under copyright law or any other applicable law.

For example, it is not permitted to download an unlicensed audio file from an ‘open’ collaboration project and to upload it to another public website, platform and/or or digital service provider without the express authorisation of all applicable copyright owner(s).

4. Collaboration Agreement

By submitting Content to a collaboration on ANONA, you are authorising and allowing other users to access, download, playback your work, and to build, modify and alter your work including by mixing, remixing, editing, cutting, rearranging, adapting and/or dubbing.

Following a collaboration, ANONA may invite you to release a work created via ANONA as a “Selected Collaboration”. In the event you are selected, you and all collaborators with copyright interests in the Selected Collaboration will be required to enter into a separate agreement with ANONA (“Assignment Agreement”).

Where there is a discrepancy between these ToS and the Assignment Agreement, the Assignment Agreement will take precedent.

If you wish to release a work yourself or via alternative means you agree that you (i) will be solely responsible for obtaining, maintaining and paying for all clearances and third party rights, licenses, permissions and consents including obtaining the authorization of other ANONA users that collaborated on the applicable Content and (ii) ensure ANONA’s involvement in the creation of the Content will be appropriately acknowledged and credited (including in all applicable production credits).
