Content, Bandman.co.uk 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, bandman.co.uk could not allow Users
to listen to music posted by Members. The license you grant to Bandman.co.uk is non-exclusive (meaning you are free to
license your Content to anyone else in addition to Bandman.co.uk), fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that Bandman.co.uk is
not required to pay you for the use on the Services of the Content that you post), sublicensable (so that Bandman.co.uk is
able to use its affiliates and subcontractors such as Internet content delivery networks to provide the Services), and
worldwide (because the Internet and the Services are global in reach). This license will terminate at the time you remove
your Content from the Services. The license does not grant Bandman.co.uk the right to sell your Content, nor does the license
grant Bandman.co.uk the right to distribute your Content outside of the Services.

have the right to grant the license set forth in this section, and (ii) the posting of your Content on or through the
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 Services.

commercial purpose as one of your "Top 8" friends, or sending private messages with a commercial purpose; or
