community including the sending and receiving of e-mails, posting messages or commentary,
and voting on contests (collectively, “User Commentary”). The right to upload and
share User Videos on the Website and provide User Commentary (to “Submit” material)
is limited to registered Users (“Members”). Users are permitted to create different
audiovisual works inside MyStudio Recording Studios, including, but not limited
to, videos of the User:

States of America. Studio One makes no representations that the MyStudio Service
is appropriate or available for use in other locations, and access to the Website
from territories where the content on the Website may be illegal is prohibited.
Those who access or use the MyStudio Service from other jurisdictions do so at their
own risk subject to these Terms.
Fees. The standard fee for a recording session up to five minutes in length
inside a MyStudio Recording Studio is Twenty Dollars ($20.00), but may differ depending

to charge for use of the Website and to change its fees, for the MyStudio Recording

access to paid content or services on the MyStudio Service.
Revocable License to Use MyStudio Recording Studio. The purchase of an “Activation
Card”, which is the card that you receive to access a MyStudio Recording Studio

voluntarily assumes all risk of property loss and personal injury that may result
from the use of a MyStudio Recording Studio. Studio One may revoke the license and
eject or refuse entry to any User for violation of these Terms, illegal or rowdy
activity or misconduct as a Studio One employee may determine in their sole discretion.
Any User interfering with the recording session of any other User may be denied
access to a MyStudio Recording Studio. Activation Cards may not be duplicated. Unless
specifically authorized in advance by Studio One, an Activation Card may not be
offered in a commercial promotion or as a prize in a sweepstakes or contest. Studio
One may choose to relocate a MyStudio Recording Studio to another location with
or without notice. Refunds of an Activation Card will be decided on a case by case
basis. Purchase or use of an Activation Card constitutes acceptance of these Terms.
Prohibited MyStudio Recording Studio Uses. MyStudio Recording Studios are
offered to the public to enable Users to make high quality, HD User Videos. Nudity
is not permitted in a MyStudio Recording Studio or a MyStudio video. Videos that
are deemed offensive by the Studio One team may be removed from the Website or marked
as inappropriate for all viewers. We are not responsible for any financial losses
incurred to Users as a result of videos being removed that are deemed offensive
based on inappropriate content, gestures, actions, content, etc. Each User is entitled
to enter a clean, safe, and properly functioning MyStudio Recording Studio and to
record an audiovisual work without interference or disturbance. You hereby agree
that you will not destroy, deface, scratch, paint, write on, bring food, drinks,
bottles, glass, liquids, gum, candy or any similar items into any MyStudio Recording
Studio, distract or interfere with any other User’s use of a MyStudio Recording
Studio, or otherwise cause damage to or harm any Studio One property, a MyStudio
Recording Studio or any Studio One employee. You will leave the MyStudio Recording
Studio in a clean and properly working condition upon completing your recording
session inside a MyStudio Recording Studio. You may be responsible for any and all
damage you cause to any MyStudio Recording Studio, including monetary damages and
Studio One’s attorney’s fees.
OWNERSHIP; PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The MyStudio Service is owned and operated by Studio One. The content, visual interfaces,
interactive features, information, graphics, design, compilation, computer code,
products, software, services, and all other elements of the MyStudio Service that
are provided by Studio One (the “MyStudio Materials”) are protected by United States
copyright, trade dress, patent, and trademark laws, international conventions, and
all other relevant intellectual property and proprietary rights, and applicable
laws. MyStudio Materials do not include User Uploaded Content (defined below). All
MyStudio Materials contained on the MyStudio Service are the property of Studio
One or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies and/or third-party licensors. All
trademarks, service marks, and trade names contained in the MyStudio Materials or
on the MyStudio Service are proprietary to Studio One or its affiliates and/or third-party
licensors. Except as expressly authorized by Studio One, you agree not to sell,
license, distribute, copy, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, transmit,
publish, edit, adapt, create derivative works from, or otherwise make unauthorized
use of the MyStudio Materials. Studio One reserves all rights not expressly granted
in these Terms. You shall not acquire any right, title or interest to the MyStudio
Materials, except for the limited rights set forth in these Terms.
USER UPLOADED CONTENT
General. Studio One allows you to record a User Video and Submit, store,
reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display and otherwise use through
the MyStudio Service User Commentary and User Videos of MyStudio Karaoke Tracks
and Third Party Materials (collectively, User Commentary, User Videos of My Studio
Karaoke Tracks and User Videos of Third Party Materials are “User Uploaded Content”).
Mystudio.net is a single source, “closed” video hosting website and therefore you
are not permitted to Submit, upload, store, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform,
publicly display or otherwise use any other video content not created at a MyStudio
recording studio on or through the MyStudio Service except as outlined below in
Alternative Means of Entry.
Alternative Means of Entry. For contests and auditions only, a video not
recorded in a MyStudio Recording Studio can be entered into a contest or audition
on the Mystudio.net website by sending a DVD of the video to: MyStudio Contests
c/o Studio One Media, Inc, 7650 E. Evans Road, Suite C, Scottsdale, AZ 85260. Entrants
must register as MyStudio.net members. Studio One will promptly transfer the DVD
video to your Member account. Entries must be received before the contest end date
to qualify. Entrant must send his/her MyStudio.net profile name, contest name, email
address, birth date, full name, mailing address, and phone number. The DVD format
must be Flash On2 VP6 (non-streaming, progressive download), 640 x 360 (16:9 aspect
ratio), no greater than 700 kbps, and a total running time no greater than 4 minutes.
Submitted DVDs will not be returned.
Privacy Settings for User Uploaded Content.
User Videos. Upon completion of a recording session at a MyStudio Recording
Studio, the completed audio and video file is sent to and stored at a Studio One
controlled electronic storage medium. You may view your video by signing up as a
Member and entering the Privacy Code printed on your Activation Card at the MyStudio.net
website. The video can be accessed for viewing purposes for 30 days from the date
the video was created. Within 30 days of the creation of the video the User must
affirmatively elect to upload and activate the video through their Member account
to access the Member Services features. If you do not elect to activate your User
Video within 30 days of recording the video, you will not have the ability to view
your User Video at a later time. User Videos Submitted to the Website (whether they
are User Videos of you performing MyStudio Karaoke Tracks or Third-Party Materials)
are not made publicly available until you register as a Member and change the relevant
privacy setting for your User Video. You must affirmatively choose to make your
uploaded User Video public, either by sharing the User Video with a defined group
of other Users or with all Users of the MyStudio Service. Once you make a User Video
public, it is public. You may remove a User Video from public availability at any
time by:
- Signing into your account
- Click on "My Account"
- Click on "Video Info" icon
- Select "Make Video Private"
- Click "Submit"
or by removing the User Video from the MyStudio Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Studio One makes no representations or guarantees that a User Video, once made public,
even if later marked private or removed from the MyStudio Service, will not continue
to be available to the public through other sources. This is due to certain characteristics
and functionalities of the Internet. As more fully described in the Privacy Policy
for MyStudio.net and MyStudio Recording Studios, there may be limited circumstances
where Studio One may allow access to User Videos marked as private, for example,
in response to a subpoena or other legal process.
User Commentary. Studio One does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect
to any User Commentary Submitted by you to the MyStudio Service. You should assume
that any User Commentary you Submit will be available to all Users of the MyStudio
Service.
Entertainment and Information Purposes Only. Unless otherwise provided for
in a Guideline, as for example, with respect to any contests that may be sponsored
by Studio One, the User Uploaded Content is displayed for entertainment and informational
purposes only.
No Obligation to Publish. Studio One does not control User Uploaded Content.
Studio One makes no representation that it will publish or make available on the
MyStudio Service any User Uploaded Content, and reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to remove or refuse to allow any User Uploaded Content on the MyStudio
Service.

of moral rights or attribution with respect to your User Uploaded Content. You also
hereby grant to each User of the MyStudio Service a non-exclusive license to access
