The Artist grants DMG a non-exclusive, worldwide license to distribute, monetize, host, and promote the Recordings and to use the Artist’s name, likeness, biography, and artwork solely in connection with such activities.
The Artist warrants that all submitted Recordings are original or fully cleared, that no third-party rights are infringed, that all contributors are properly credited and compensated, and that no conflicting agreements exist.
The Artist agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless DMG from any claims, damages, penalties, legal costs, or takedowns arising from breach of warranties, copyright infringement, misrepresentation, or fraudulent activity.
