You are obliged to inform us without delay of any unauthorized access to your account or any other security compromise.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

Every element present on the Rhapsody website, encompassing but not confined to textual content, visual designs, brand insignia, photographic material, sound recordings, downloadable digital files, aggregated data, and software, belongs to Rhapsody or its respective content providers and is safeguarded by relevant intellectual property statutes. The entire collection of material on this platform is the exclusive asset of Rhapsody and falls under the protection of applicable intellectual property legislation. You are expressly forbidden from reproducing, replicating, copying, selling, reselling, accessing, or commercially exploiting any segment of the website without the explicit written authorization of Rhapsody. A restricted, retractable, and non-transferable license is extended to you for the purpose of establishing a direct web link to the main page of Rhapsody, provided that such a link does not misrepresent Rhapsody, its offerings, or its services in a deceptive, disparaging, or otherwise objectionable fashion.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The digital platform of Rhapsody, alongside all data, components, merchandise, and functionalities offered on or through this site, is presented by Rhapsody strictly on an "as is" and "as available" foundation, unless a written exception is explicitly provided. Rhapsody offers no assurances or guarantees, whether explicit or implicit, concerning the functionality of this site or the data, content, resources, items, or services accessible via it, except where detailed in a specific written agreement. You unequivocally accept that your engagement with this site is undertaken entirely at your own peril.

To the maximum degree permitted by governing law, Rhapsody repudiates all forms of warranties, whether stated or implied, including, though not limited to, implied guarantees of marketability and suitability for a specific objective. Rhapsody does not affirm that this website; the data, materials, articles, or services made accessible through it; its hosting infrastructure; or any electronic correspondence originating from Rhapsody are devoid of malicious software or other detrimental elements.

6. Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances will Rhapsody, its board members, executives, staff, associated entities, representatives, independent contractors, trainees, vendors, service partners, or licensors be held accountable for any harm, detriment, demand, or any form of direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, special, or resultant damages, including, without restriction, foregone earnings, diminished income, lost financial benefits, data compromise, reacquisition expenses, or comparable losses. This applies regardless of whether such claims arise from contractual obligations, tortious acts (including neglect), absolute liability, or any other legal basis, stemming from your utilization of any service or goods obtained through the service, or any other assertion connected to your engagement with the service or any product. This includes, but is not confined to, inaccuracies or omissions in content, or any loss or injury sustained from the application of the service or any content (or product) published, conveyed, or otherwise provided through the service, even if the potential for such damages has been communicated.

Given that certain states or legal territories prohibit the exclusion or restriction of accountability for indirect or incidental losses, within those specific jurisdictions, our liability will be curtailed to the broadest degree legally permissible.

7. Indemnification

You hereby consent to protect, defend, and absolve Rhapsody, along with our parent company, subsidiaries, affiliated organizations, collaborators, executives, board members, representatives, independent contractors, licensors, service facilitators, secondary contractors, suppliers, temporary staff, and personnel, from any and all claims or demands, including legitimate legal fees, initiated by any third party. Such claims or demands may arise from or be connected to your contravention of these Terms and Conditions, or any documents incorporated by reference within them, or your infringement of any statute or the rights of another party.

8. Severability

Should any clause within these Terms and Conditions be deemed illegal, invalid, or impossible to enforce, that particular clause will still be upheld to the maximum extent allowed by governing law. The unenforceable segment will be considered detached from these Terms and Conditions, and this decision will not impair the legitimacy or enforceability of any other remaining clauses.

9. Termination

All duties and responsibilities accrued by the parties before the cessation date shall persist beyond the termination of this accord for all relevant objectives. These Terms and Conditions remain in effect until either you or we choose to terminate them. You possess the right to discontinue these Terms and Conditions at any point by informing us of your decision to cease using our services, or simply by discontinuing your use of our platform. If, in our exclusive assessment, you fail to adhere to, or we suspect you have failed to adhere to, any stipulation or clause of these Terms and Conditions, we also reserve the right to terminate this agreement immediately without prior notification. In such an event, you will remain accountable for all outstanding balances up to and including the termination date; furthermore, we may consequently restrict your access to our services (or any component thereof).

10. Entire Agreement

Our inability to invoke or enforce any specific right or clause contained within these Terms and Conditions will not be interpreted as a relinquishment of that right or clause. These Terms and Conditions, together with any policies or operational guidelines published by us on this website or pertaining to the service, represent the complete and unified understanding and accord between you and us, regulating your engagement with the service. They supersede all previous or concurrent agreements, exchanges, and propositions, whether verbal or documented, exchanged between you and us (including, but not limited to, any earlier iterations of the Terms and Conditions). Any lack of clarity in the interpretation of these Terms and Conditions will not be resolved to the detriment of the party that drafted them.

11. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions, along with any distinct contracts under which we furnish services to you, shall be interpreted and enforced in conformity with the statutes governing agreements executed and fully implemented within the geographical jurisdiction where Rhapsody maintains its principal operations, disregarding any principles of conflicts of law.

12. Dispute Resolution

All disagreements or claims pertaining in any manner to your utilization of any Rhapsody offering, or to any goods or services marketed or disseminated by Rhapsody or via Rhapsody.com, will be settled through mandatory arbitration instead of judicial proceedings. An exception exists for claims eligible for presentation in a small claims court. The provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act and relevant federal arbitration legislation govern this covenant.

Arbitration proceedings do not involve a judge or jury, and judicial scrutiny of an arbitral decision is restricted. Nevertheless, an arbitrator is empowered to grant, on an individualized basis, the identical forms of redress and compensation as a court (including orders for injunctions, declaratory judgments, or statutory damages) and is obligated to uphold the stipulations of these Terms and Conditions just as a court would.

Both parties concur that any processes for resolving disputes will be carried out solely on an individual foundation, precluding any class, consolidated, or representative actions. Should a claim, for any reason, be litigated in a court of law instead of through arbitration, each party waives any entitlement to a jury trial. Furthermore, both you and we mutually agree that either party may initiate legal action in court to prevent the violation or other improper use of intellectual property rights.

13. Changes to Terms and Conditions

The most recent iteration of these Terms and Conditions is accessible for your review on this page at any given time. We retain the unilateral authority, at our exclusive discretion, to revise, modify, or substitute any segment of these Terms and Conditions by publishing such updates and alterations on our website. It is incumbent upon you to regularly consult our website for any revisions. Your ongoing utilization of or access to our website subsequent to the publication of any modifications to these Terms and Conditions signifies your acceptance of those changes.
