32. Handling Deposits and Gig Payments :
Every member or user providing services showcased on the GoTalent platform, referred to as a “Supplier,” hereby designates GoTalent as its representative for receiving deposits, balances, or other payments permitted through the GoTalent Services, individually termed as a “Payment.” In cases where a user, not functioning as a Supplier, intends to make a payment to a Supplier for their services, known as a “Purchaser,” through the GoTalent platform, GoTalent has the option, but not the obligation, to accept such Payment as an agent acting on behalf of the Supplier. Once GoTalent receives any Payment, the Supplier to whom the Payment pertains releases the Purchaser from any liability related to the Payment, regardless of whether or when GoTalent disburses the Payment to the Supplier. The Purchaser is considered a third-party beneficiary of this release by the Supplier. Upon receiving Payments on behalf of Suppliers, GoTalent will settle the amounts owed to Suppliers after deducting all disclosed GoTalent Fees associated with the Services and accounting for any chargebacks, reversals, or returns initiated by the Purchaser. GoTalent retains the right to refund a Payment to a Purchaser at its discretion. Additionally, GoTalent may issue a receipt in the name of the Supplier for each Payment, which the Supplier is obligated to honour.
33. Refund Policy:
All purchases are considered final and are non-refundable, unless we explicitly agree to different terms.
34. Ownership of Content:
Unless indicated otherwise, all copyrighted materials, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, and other intellectual properties featured in texts, articles, images, illustrations, designs, icons, photographs, videos, sound clips, or any other materials within the GoTalent platform (collectively referred to as “Contents”) are either owned, licensed, used with permission, or lawfully utilized by GoTalent. The entirety of the GoTalent platform is protected by copyright, trademark, trade dress, and other proprietary rights, with all worldwide rights, titles, and interests owned and controlled by GoTalent. Unless explicitly stated, the utilization of a third party’s trademark or trade name within our platform does not imply any connection with or endorsement by GoTalent of that third party or its products or services. GoTalent explicitly disclaims any such association or endorsement.

If you are associated with a performance rights organization (“PRO”) concerning your public performance rights, such as BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, or GMR, you may be restricted from granting identical rights to GoTalent. Alternatively, granting public performance rights to GoTalent could hinder a PRO from collecting royalties on your behalf. In specific cases, a PRO may demand that you notify them when granting public performance rights to another entity. If your agreement with a PRO includes such a provision, you are solely responsible for providing the necessary notice to the PRO. Please understand that no fees or payments of any nature shall be owed to any PRO or music publisher for the utilization of your User Content as authorized by these Terms. GoTalent is under no obligation to remunerate you or any other party for any amounts, including record or publishing royalties, performance fees, license fees, or union, guild, or collective bargaining fees, in relation to the distribution, public performance, or other use of your Submissions as permitted by these Terms. The licenses and rights granted to GoTalent as described herein will persist even if you remove your Submissions from the Services, terminate your account or usage of the Services, or if these Terms are otherwise terminated, except in the event that you provide written notice of such license(s) termination to us. In that case, the specified license(s) will expire, and we will cease using the mentioned Submissions within thirty (30) days.
You affirm, warrant, and agree that:
· You possess or control all necessary rights in and to the Submissions required for their use on GoTalent.
· You have full rights and authority to grant the rights, licenses, and permissions as outlined in these Terms.

You must also directly pay any third-party fees and royalties that may be necessary, including, but not limited to, those related to artists, band members, authors, co-authors, copyright owners and co-owners, publishers, producers, or any other individuals involved in creating your Submissions. This includes payments related to mechanical royalties, digital phonograph delivery royalties, public performance royalties, payments required by collective bargaining agreements or statutory schemes, or any other royalties, fees, and sums due for your Submissions. Upon request, you must provide confirmation of such authorizations and payments to GoTalent.

Conditional upon your strict compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to use our App. This license permits the use of the App, downloaded directly from a legitimate marketplace, solely in object code format, and exclusively for your personal use for lawful purposes. In regard to any open source or third-party code that may be integrated into the applications, such code is governed by the applicable open source or third-party license EULA, if any, which authorizes the usage of such code.

The App may automatically download and install upgrades, updates, and additional features to enhance, improve, and further develop the App and our Services.
48. Devices and Communication Costs:
To download, use, or access our App, you must have a compatible “smart” device. We cannot assure or guarantee that the App will be compatible with or accessible on your particular device. Regular messaging, data, and other rates and fees charged by your telecommunications provider will continue to apply. You acknowledge that you are responsible for any expenses related to sending or receiving data and communications through your device.

We reserve the right to enhance or make alterations to the Services, including the information and services provided through them, without prior notice to you. We may introduce, remove, reposition, or amend some or all of the Services at our discretion.
51. Rights Transfer and Assignment:
There may come a time when GoTalent considers transferring or assigning its rights in the Services to a third party, whether due to a merger, acquisition, asset sale, reorganization, or any other reason. In such a scenario, you consent to GoTalent transferring or assigning all its rights and responsibilities related to you, including those pertaining to your Personally Identifiable Information, under the condition that this third party agrees to adhere to a privacy policy that is at least as protective as GoTalent’s then-current Privacy Policy.
52. Nature of Relationship:
You acknowledge that these Terms and your use of the Services do not establish any joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship between you and GoTalent.
53. Severability Clause:
If any provision within these Terms is deemed invalid, such invalidity shall not impact or undermine the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. In such a situation, the unaffected provisions shall remain fully enforceable as though the invalid provision was never a part of these Terms.
54. Headings:
The headings used in this agreement are for convenience only and do not define, limit, describe, or otherwise alter the scope or interpretation of this Agreement in any way.
55. Entire Agreement, Amendments, and Waiver:
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and GoTalent regarding your use of the Services, and they supplant all previous agreements regarding the same subject matter. Failure on our part to enforce any of our rights as outlined in these Terms does not constitute a waiver of those rights. Any modifications to or waivers of these Terms must be made in writing and signed or posted within the Services by GoTalent to be considered valid and enforceable.
