Please read these Terms carefully. Section 15 contains an agreement to arbitrate disputes on an individual basis and a waiver of the right to bring or participate in class actions. It affects your legal rights.
1. Acceptance of Terms

In order for the Service to function, you grant untz a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license, exercisable directly or through our service providers, to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, display, and adapt your Content (including by reformatting, resizing, or transcoding it) solely for the purposes of operating and improving the Service and of displaying your Content to the users with whom you have shared it. untz will not use your Content in advertising or marketing materials without your separate, express permission. Content created under a separate written agreement with untz, including any paid creator program, is governed by that agreement. This license terminates when you delete the relevant Content or your account, except with respect to backup copies retained as described in the Privacy Policy.

You represent and warrant that (a) you own or have obtained all rights necessary to submit your Content and to grant the license in Section 3.3; (b) your Content does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party or any applicable law; and (c) where your Content depicts or records other persons, you have obtained any permission or consent required by applicable law from those persons.
- 3.5Recordings. The grab feature records audio from your surroundings and stores it with the relevant night, where it is accessible to the night's participants. Laws governing the recording of audio in public and private settings vary by jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for using the feature in compliance with applicable law, including any restrictions imposed by a venue. untz may remove any recording or video at the request of a person who appears in it.
- 3.6Third-party material. Song titles, artwork, audio previews, and links displayed within the Service are obtained from third-party catalogs and are the property of their respective owners. Such material is provided for identification and listening within the Service and is subject to the terms of its owners.
- 3.7Feedback. If you provide suggestions or feedback regarding the Service, untz may use them without restriction or obligation to you.
4. Sharing and Visibility
- 4.1The Service is designed to share nights with their participants and with your friends. The Privacy Policy describes in detail which information is visible to which persons. In summary, a night is visible to all of its participants; your friends may view your nights; and any person who receives an invitation link may view a night's summary information and join the night.
- 4.2Once you share a night, its other participants retain access to the night and to the Content they contributed. Your own photographs, videos, and recordings are removed when you delete your account. untz has no control over Content that another person has saved outside the Service.

- harass, threaten, intimidate, defame, or discriminate against any person, or to submit Content that is hateful, sexually explicit, or that glorifies violence or self-harm;
- submit Content that is unlawful, that you lack the right to share, or that violates the privacy of any person, including intimate images of any person without that person's consent;
- upload complete performances or sets; the grab feature is intended for short excerpts used to identify and recall a track;
- disregard a venue's restrictions on photography or recording;
- impersonate any person or entity, misrepresent your affiliation, or join nights you did not attend in order to access other users' Content;
- interfere with the Service, including by scraping, automated access, reverse engineering, probing for vulnerabilities, circumventing usage limits or access controls, or imposing an unreasonable load on our infrastructure;

- 6.3untz may remove or conceal Content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe violate these Terms or present a risk to other users or to untz, with or without notice. Where practicable, we will inform you of the reason. Repeat violators will be removed from the Service.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, untz disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and any warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. untz does not warrant that music will be identified accurately, that Content will be preserved, or that other users are who they represent themselves to be. The Service does not provide safety, medical, or transportation advice. You are solely responsible for your own safety and decisions.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, untz shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, regardless of the theory of liability. The aggregate liability of untz for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the greater of one hundred United States dollars (US$100) or the amount you paid to untz in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations of liability; in those jurisdictions, the liability of untz is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

15. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver
- 15.1Informal resolution. Before commencing arbitration or litigation, you agree to send a written description of the dispute and the relief sought to support@untz.co and to allow untz thirty (30) days to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. untz agrees to the same procedure before asserting a claim against you.
- 15.2Agreement to arbitrate. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved under Section 15.1 shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, before a single arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 15. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award to you individually. Any hearing will take place in New York County, New York, or, at your election, by video or telephone conference. untz will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in excess of the amount you would have paid to file a claim in court, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous. A court, and not the arbitrator, shall decide any question regarding the enforceability of this Section 15.
- 15.3Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in lieu of arbitration. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent unauthorized use of the Service or infringement of intellectual property rights.
- 15.4Class action waiver. You and untz each agree that any proceeding shall be conducted solely on an individual basis, and each waives the right to bring, join, or participate in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action, whether in arbitration or in court. If this Section 15.4 is found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim, that claim shall proceed in court rather than in arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 15 shall continue to apply to all other claims.
- 15.5Right to opt out. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement in Section 15.2 by sending written notice to support@untz.co within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your name, the display name associated with your account, and a statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.
- 15.6Jury trial waiver. To the extent any claim proceeds in court, you and untz each waive the right to a trial by jury.
- 15.7Limitation period. Any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim accrues; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred. This limitation does not apply where prohibited by applicable law.
- 15.8Governing law and venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and, with respect to arbitration, by the Federal Arbitration Act. Any claim that may be brought in court shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. If you are a consumer residing in a jurisdiction whose laws entitle you to bring claims in your local courts or under your local law, nothing in this Section 15.8 deprives you of that entitlement.
