Nex Artist - Terms and Conditions

These Terms were updated on 4th April 2023

Introduction

The Site is operated by Nex Artist Limited trading as Nex Artist (“Nex”) (we, us and our). We are a limited company registered in the United Kingdom. Our registered company number is 13093536, and our registered office is at Marsland Chambers, 1a Marsland Road, Sale, England, M33 3HP.

Nex Artist is a web application and a mobile application music platform. The web application enables music artists to upload their tracks (Artists), and the mobile application enables users to listen to tracks via their devices by streaming (Listeners). Both Artists and Listeners register an account. Registered accounts can be used for accessing both the web application (as an Artist), and on the mobile app (as a Listener). In addition to creating an account with an email address and password, Google accounts can instead be used to authenticate on the platform. Signing up with a Google account negates the requirement to verify the user's email address.

Artists on the web application and Listeners on the mobile application use the platform with a limited qualified licence set out in the terms and conditions (together referred to as “users/you”).

Part of these terms and conditions is specific to artists on the web application at https://nexartist.app and part is specific to Listeners on the mobile application.

These terms and conditions also apply to any other websites or applications through which Nex Artist makes its online platform and applications for mobile, tablet and other smart devices and application program interfaces available (collectively, the "Applications") through the application and online website (collectively, the "Site").

These terms apply to the use of the Applications and the service through the Applications. These terms control any terms which may be imposed by either iOS or the Android platform and any other application distribution platform for the use of the Applications and/or the service through an app. Anywhere in the terms where the word Site is used shall also include the word app and vice versa. A User's use of any app will terminate at the same time as the use of the services to which the app relates.

Please print a copy of these terms for future reference.

Any personal information submitted to or through the Site is governed by our Website Privacy and Cookies Policy.

We reserve the right to change these terms from time to time, if it’s a minor change such as changes in the law or our arrangements with third parties, then, Users are responsible for checking the current terms on the site by checking the version and date on which they were last modified which will be shown at the beginning of these terms. If a fundamental change significantly alters the services, we will notify Users individually.

The service acts as a mere conduit. We do not initiate, modify, or select the receiver of any transmission through the service. We are not liable for any third-party content and the UK Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 and any other analogous law worldwide does not apply to the service.

Please do not use the service if you have not read and understood these terms and conditions. By registering an account on the Applications you have executed a binding contract with us (the “Agreement”).

Licence and Site Access

Nex Artist grants you a personal, revocable, non-transferable, and non-exclusive license to access and make personal use of the Site and to use the object code of the site on a single computer, subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) You do not, and do not allow any third party to, copy, modify, create a derivative work from, or attempt to transfer any right in the software for the Site; and

How to Sign Up

Artists can sign up on the web application registration page (https://nexartist.app/signup), which must be accessed from a web browser and requires an internet connection to use. If they choose to sign up with an email and password, they will be required to complete the sign-up form; email address, and password, confirm the password, agree to the terms and conditions, and optionally agree to receive marketing emails. Once validation succeeds, the user will receive a verification email containing a unique URL link, which they can click to activate their account. Alternatively, if they choose to sign up with a Google account, they will be required to specify which account to authenticate with and enter the relevant credentials. On the first login, the Artist will be guided on completing their profile with a series of setup pages and finishing on the subscription page where they must select from the available tiers. All paying subscription transactions will be securely processed via Stripe on their website before redirecting the user back to the Nex Artist web application. Artists can amend their subscription settings at any time on the profile page.

Listeners can sign up on the mobile application registration page. The mobile application must be downloaded from either the Google Play Store or Apple App Store (depending on device compatibility). If they choose to sign up with an email and password, they will be required to complete the sign-up form; email address, password, confirm password, agree to the terms and conditions, and optionally agree to receive marketing emails. Alternatively, if they choose to sign up with a Google account, they will be required to specify which account to authenticate with and enter the relevant credentials. On first login, the Listener will be shown the in-app tutorial and guided through various features.

How it Works

The Nex Artist platform consists of a web application and a mobile application. Both apps serve to provide different functions for music artists or listeners and can be used free of charge (paid subscription tiers are available for artists).

On the web application, artists can manage their profile information and tracks which are presented to listeners on the mobile application. Through the profile page on the web application, artists can also amend their subscription settings and view previous invoices linked to their account. If their subscription tier is updated, artists will receive a confirmation email and the new tier limits will be enforced immediately. Artists can also view profile statistics on the web application to analyse their performance on the mobile application.
On the mobile application, listeners can use the search page to discover music artists by specifying criteria such as artist country, track genre and track BPM. The search function will return any artist matches and auto-play the tracks on their profile. Using swipe and touch gestures, the listener can perform play/pause/next/previous actions on the artist’s tracks, in addition to performing an impression action (swiping left on the artist to ‘dislike’ or swiping right on the artist to ‘like’), which contributes to the artist’s daily impressions quota as defined by their subscription tier. When an artist has been ‘disliked’ they will no longer show in future search results for that listener. Conversely, when an artist has been ‘liked’, they will appear in the listener’s artist collection, where they can replay the artist’s tracks, view full streaming links, and access links to the artist’s social media pages.

You upload tracks on the site, subject to our Artist Distribution Agreement under Schedule 1 to this Agreement which an artist must accept before uploading tracks on the Site. We identify how much of each track has been streamed to provide Artists with useful statistical information on the performance of their tracks.
You shall retain full ownership and copyright of any and all tracks you submit to Nex Artist, at all times, subject only to the rights and licenses you grant to Nex Artist pursuant to this Agreement or any other applicable agreement. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement: you authorise and direct us to make and retain such copies of your Tracks as we deem necessary in order to facilitate the storage, use and display of such Tracks in accordance with our terms for streaming access.
This license expressly excludes any resale or commercial use of the Site or its contents; any collection or use of any track listings, descriptions, or prices; any derivative use of the Site or its contents; any downloading or copying of account information for the benefit of any merchant; and any use of data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction tools. Neither the Site nor any portion thereof may be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without Nex Artist’s express written consent.

The Regulations state that your right to cancel an order starts the moment you place your order and doesn’t end until seven working days from the day after you receive your goods.
However, there are some goods such as software and digital music files that you can't return if you simply change your mind.
Where the artists have uploaded more tracks than their previous subscription tier limit or their daily impressions exceeds their previous subscription tier limit (proving that they are making use of their new subscription tier). If neither of these has been exceeded, then a refund can be offered.

Dispute Resolution

The Parties wish to resolve disputes arising under this Agreement expeditiously, amicably, and at the level within each party's organization that is most knowledgeable about the disputed issue.

The Parties agree that the award of the arbitrator in any arbitration proceeding shall be final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
