END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

By selecting “I Agree,” creating or activating an account, or accessing or using the Music Business Starter Kit platform (“MBSK”), you agree to this End User License Agreement (the “EULA”) with Grey Duck Music, LLC d/b/a Grey Duck Music Business Labs (“Grey Duck”). If you do not agree, do not create an account or access or use MBSK.

1. Individual License and Eligibility. If you are an authorized faculty member, staff member, or enrolled student within the group covered by an active institutional license, Grey Duck grants you a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable right to access and use MBSK for educational purposes during that license term. You may access MBSK only through your own account and only while you remain eligible. You may not share credentials, permit another person to use your account, misrepresent your eligibility, or bypass access, security, or usage controls. You are responsible for activity through your account and must promptly notify Grey Duck of suspected unauthorized access.

2. Faculty Use. While the applicable institutional license is active, authorized faculty and staff may use MBSK in courses within the licensed group and may link from Canvas or another learning management system to content hosted on MBSK. You may not copy, upload, embed, reproduce, or store MBSK hosted content in an learning management system or other repository, except for materials MBSK expressly makes available for downloading or copying. Instructional-use rights end when the institutional license ends.

3. Downloaded Materials. You may download or copy PDFs, spreadsheets, templates, and similar resources only when MBSK makes them available for download or copying. If you legitimately obtain those materials while authorized, you may keep and use them indefinitely for your own personal, noncommercial use, including after graduation or expiration of the institutional license. You may not redistribute, resell, sublicense, publicly post, share, or provide them to another person, student, course, or class.

4. Prohibited Conduct. Except as expressly permitted above, you may not: (a) copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, scrape, frame, mirror, or systematically extract MBSK; (b) sell, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, transfer, publicly display, post, perform, or otherwise make MBSK or access to it available to anyone else; (c) remove or alter proprietary notices; (d) introduce malicious code, disrupt MBSK, evade technical protections, or access another account; (e) use MBSK unlawfully or infringe another person’s rights; or (f) use Grey Duck Music’s names, marks, logos, or branding except to identify and link to MBSK as permitted.

5. Ownership. Grey Duck and its licensors own MBSK and all associated intellectual-property and proprietary rights, including its content, software, design, text, graphics, audio, video, templates, platform features, updates, and modifications. This EULA is a license, not a sale. No ownership transfers to you, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved.

6. Access, Availability, and Changes. Your MBSK access depends on the applicable institutional license and may end when that license expires or is not renewed. Grey Duck may, but need not, provide a transition or grace period. MBSK is internet-based and is not guaranteed to be available at all times. It may experience temporary interruptions, maintenance, outages, delays, reduced functionality, security events, platform changes, or third-party failures. Grey Duck may revise, replace, add, remove, suspend, or discontinue content or features and does not promise 100% uptime, uninterrupted or error-free access, advance outage notice, continued availability of particular content or features, or a specific support response time.

7. External Services and Privacy. MBSK may rely on or link to third-party services. Your use of those services is subject to their terms and at your own risk. Grey Duck’s collection, use, retention, protection, and disclosure of personal information are governed by its then-current Privacy Policy. Grey Duck may collect account, device, access, performance, interaction, and usage information to operate, secure, support, analyze, and improve MBSK, detect misuse, and comply with law. No internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.

8. Educational Purpose. MBSK is an educational and informational resource. It does not guarantee any academic, professional, financial, business, project, or other outcome and does not provide individualized legal, accounting, tax, financial, investment, or similar professional advice. You are responsible for evaluating and verifying information before relying on it and for your decisions and actions.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MBSK, ITS CONTENT, DOWNLOADS, LINKS, EXTERNAL SERVICES, AND ALL ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH MBSK ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, COMPATIBILITY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. GREY DUCK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED OR THAT MBSK, SERVERS, DOWNLOADS, OR LINKS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

10. Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GREY DUCK, ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND THEIR PERSONNEL WILL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, PERSONAL INJURY, OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO MBSK OR THIS EULA, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE. GREY DUCK’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PERSONALLY PAID GREY DUCK FOR MBSK DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

11. Suspension; Termination. Grey Duck may suspend or terminate your account immediately to protect MBSK or others, enforce eligibility or usage limits, investigate suspected misconduct, comply with law, or respond to credential sharing, unauthorized distribution, infringement, unlawful conduct, or a security threat. When access ends, you must stop accessing MBSK and stop using MBSK materials except for the continuing personal use of materials legitimately downloaded as permitted by Section 3. At Grey Duck’s request, you must return or destroy copies made or retained contrary to this EULA.

12. Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Grey Duck, its affiliates, licensors, service providers, and their personnel from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from your unauthorized access, reproduction, distribution, disclosure, or misuse of MBSK; your violation of law or third-party rights; content or materials you submit; or your material breach of this EULA.

13. Governing Law; Disputes. Michigan law governs this EULA without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before commencing arbitration, you and Grey Duck will attempt in good faith to resolve a dispute through confidential, nonbinding mediation in Ingham County, Michigan, with mediator fees shared equally. If not resolved within forty-five (45) days after a written mediation demand, the dispute will be finally resolved by binding arbitration in Ingham County under the American Arbitration Association Consumer Arbitration Rules. Either party may seek temporary or injunctive relief in the state or federal courts located in Ingham County to protect intellectual property, confidential information, access controls, or security pending arbitration. YOU AND GREY DUCK WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY AND PARTICIPATION IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. To the extent permitted by law, any claim must be commenced within one (1) year after it accrues or it is permanently barred.

14. Changes; General. Grey Duck may update this EULA prospectively on reasonable notice and may require you to accept the updated terms before continuing to use MBSK. If you do not agree, you must stop using MBSK. The Privacy Policy may be updated as stated in that policy. This EULA and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Grey Duck concerning your individual MBSK access and use. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will continue in effect. A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. Grey Duck may assign this EULA; you may not assign it. Electronic acceptance and records are effective as originals.

15. Contact. Questions, notices, and support requests may be sent to Grey Duck Music, LLC, 2222 W. Grand River Ave., Suite A, Okemos, Michigan 48864, or [email protected].
