After posting your Content to the LowLow Services, you continue to retain all ownership rights in such Content, and you continue to have the right to use your Content in any way you choose. By displaying or publishing ("posting") any Content on or through the LowLow Services, you hereby grant to LowLow a limited license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content solely on and through the LowLow Services.
Without this license, LowLow would be unable to provide the LowLow Services. For example, without the right to modify Member Content, LowLow would not be able to digitally compress music files that Members submit or otherwise format Content to satisfy technical requirements, and without the right to publicly perform Member Content, LowLow could not allow Users to listen to music posted by Members. The license you grant to LowLow is non-exclusive (meaning you are free to license your Content to anyone else in addition to LowLow), fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that LowLow is not required to pay you for the use on the LowLow Services of the Content that you post), sublicensable (so that LowLow is able to use its affiliates and subcontractors such as Internet content delivery networks to provide the LowLow Services), and worldwide (because the Internet and the LowLow Services are global in reach). This license will terminate at the time you remove your Content from the LowLow Services. The license does not grant LowLow the right to sell your Content, nor does the license grant LowLow the right to distribute your Content outside of the LowLow Services.
2. You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the Content posted by you on or through the LowLow Services or otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in this section, and (ii) the posting of your Content on or through the LowLow Services does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person. You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing any person by reason of any Content posted by you to or through the LowLow Services.
