Under this Code, you will not:
- Upload, email or otherwise transmit any images or other Content that are unlawful, obscene, harmful, hateful, invade the privacy of any third party, contain nudity or pornography, or are otherwise objectionable.
- Disseminate materials that impact or invade the privacy of others, such as photographs, video clips, sound recordings, personally identifiable information, or other materials that reveal personal, private, or sensitive information about another person, without that person’s consent.
- Submit or disseminate material that is intentionally false, defamatory, libelous, unlawfully threatening, or unlawfully harassing.
- Infringe any third party’s copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy. Electronic materials – such as music, videos, games, images, and text in electronic form — can easily be copied, modified, and sent over networks (such as the Internet). These electronic materials are thus extremely vulnerable to unauthorized distribution and copyright infringement. These materials may not be transmitted over the Application without the copyright owner’s permission, or without a legitimate “fair use” justification for the transmittal.
- Transmit materials that contain any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or other computer-programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept, or expropriate any system, data, or personal information.
- Use the Service to artificially generate traffic or page links to a Web App or for any other purpose not expressly allowed under these Terms.
- Use the Application in a manner that could disable, overburden, or impair the App or interfere with any other party’s use and enjoyment of the App, such as through sending “spam” email.
- Seek to obtain access to any materials or information through “hacking,” “data harvesting,” or through other means, we have not intentionally made available to you through the Application.
- Use the Services to aid in the purposes of any harassment or abuse.
- Use the Application to circumvent any state law.
- Use the Application for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms. For example, you will not use the Application, Services, or Content to violate any law, statute, or regulation (including, without limitation, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination, or false advertising).
We will enforce the above Code of Conduct wherever we deem necessary. Please understand, however, that Major Gig does not control – and does not necessarily endorse — the Content found in any Interactive Service. Major Gig reserves the right (but has no obligation) to remove or refuse to distribute any information on the App. When you participate in the App, you do so at your own risk, and we expressly disclaim responsibility for the content found in these Services.
If Member musician fails to abide by any provision of these Terms and the above Code of Conduct, Major Gig may, at Major Gig’s sole option, terminate a Member musician’s account immediately. Notwithstanding the aforesaid policy, Major Gig reserves the right to terminate any Member’s membership with Major Gig at any time without prior notice.
