License

Dated March 16, 2010

This addendum (this “Addendum”) to the MySpace.com Terms of Use Agreement (as may be modified from time to time, the “MySpace Agreement,” located at http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=misc.terms), together with the MySpace Agreement, constitute legally binding terms and apply to your use of the MySpace Off-Site Developer Platform (as defined below) and the development software, features and functionality included therein and relating thereto (the “MySpace Off-Site Developer Service”). Any capitalized terms used in this Addendum not otherwise defined will have the meanings assigned to them in the MySpace Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service is a “MySpace Service” as defined by the MySpace Agreement, and all references to “MySpace Services” in the MySpace Agreement include the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service. In the event of a conflict between this Addendum and the MySpace Agreement, this Addendum will govern with respect to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service. The term “Developer” refers to a Member that has accessed and/or used the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service. Please read the MySpace Agreement and this Addendum carefully. You are authorized to use the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service (regardless of whether your access or use is intended) only if you agree to abide by all applicable laws, rules and regulations (“Applicable Law”), the MySpace Agreement and this Addendum. By accessing and/or using the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service, you agree to be bound to the terms of the MySpace Agreement and this Addendum. In addition, in consideration for becoming a Developer and/or making use of the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service, you must indicate your acceptance of the MySpace Agreement and this Addendum during the Developer service account creation process. You may be required to download software or content and/or agree to additional terms and conditions in order to use and access the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service. MySpace reserves the right to modify the MySpace Agreement and/or this Addendum at any time and from time to time, and each such modification will be effective upon posting on the MySpace Services. All material modifications will apply prospectively only. Your continued use of the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service following any such modification constitutes your agreement to be bound by and acceptance of the MySpace Agreement and/or this Addendum as so modified. It is therefore important that you review the MySpace Agreement and this Addendum regularly. If you do not agree to be bound by this Addendum and the MySpace Agreement and to follow all Applicable Law, you are required to discontinue use of the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service immediately.

Eligibility.

To use the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service, you must be a Member and have an active MySpace profile. By your use of the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service, you hereby confirm that you are at least 18 years old, or, if under 18, you have obtained your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to use the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service. You must be proficient in English to use the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service. A valid email address, contact name, phone number, MySpace Profile and business address (collectively “Developer Contact Information”) must be submitted by each Developer and will be kept on file with MySpace. If your provided Developer Contact Information becomes invalid and you do not provide updated Developer Contact Information, your access to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service may be suspended or terminated.

Term.

This Addendum shall remain in full force and effect while you are a Developer. You may terminate your Developer status at any time, for any reason, by ceasing to use the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service. MySpace may terminate your Developer status and your access to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service or may restrict, suspend or terminate your participation in the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service or any part thereof, including, without limitation, by restricting, suspending or terminating your access to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Platform or refusing to exchange data with, removing or deleting your Developer Service(s) and your Developer Service Content from the MySpace Services, in full or in part, at any time, for any or no reason, with no liability. If you or MySpace terminate your Developer status and/or your access to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service and/or the MySpace Off-Site Developer Platform, your rights, if any, to cache or store any MDP Content will immediately terminate without notice, and you will cease any refreshing, caching or storing of the MDP Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a User sets up a profile on your Developer Service using the MDP Content and chooses to maintain such profile after termination of your Developer status, you may continue to store a User’s Portable Profile unless such termination was upon MySpace’s determination (made in its sole discretion) that you violated the MySpace Agreement and/or this Addendum or unless you are otherwise directed by such User to delete such User’s Portable Profile. Even after your Developer status and/or access to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service has terminated, this Addendum and the MySpace Agreement will remain in effect, except that, unless otherwise explicitly stated herein, all rights granted to you hereunder shall immediately terminate without notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you understand and agree that MySpace is under no obligation to delete or ask Users to delete your Developer Service Content that has been incorporated into or through other aspects of the MySpace Services, and therefore such Developer Service Content may continue to appear and be used indefinitely.

Developer Access.

Upon submission of a Developer Service, you will be assigned a unique public and private key pair (“Developer Keys”) which you will need to provide to MySpace in order for your Developer Service to access the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your private key(s). You will not use the Developer Keys of another Developer at any time or to disclose your private key(s) to any third party. You will notify MySpace immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of or access to your MySpace Profile, Developer Service(s) or your Developer Key(s). You are solely responsible for any and all use of your MySpace Profile and Developer Keys. MySpace and its affiliates are not responsible for any unauthorized access to, alteration of, or the deletion, destruction, damage, loss or failure to store any Content which you submit in connection with your MySpace Profile or Developer Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may share and allow the use of your Developer Keys by service providers solely to assist and/or enable your implementation and/or use of the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service; provided that you shall ensure by written agreement and your diligent enforcement of such agreement that any such service provider at all times complies with the MySpace Agreement and this Addendum and you shall be responsible and liable for the performance of any such service provider, including, without limitation, indemnifying MySpace in connection with any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by such service provider.

Commercial Use.

Developer Service Content which you submit or post to the MySpace Services (i) may not contain any Advertising except as in the context of describing and as contextually relevant to an activity initiated by a User on your Developer Service and (ii) must comply with all rules and restrictions regarding posts and updates to a User’s MySpace Profile and other communications with Users, including without limitation, as set forth in Section 7.9. For the avoidance of doubt, you may not append any Advertisements to otherwise acceptable posts or communications. You may not display Advertising within or overlaying, sold based on the availability of, or targeted based on MDP Content or otherwise provide Advertising in connection with the MDP Content which in any way implies MySpace endorsement or affiliation with such Advertising. You will not, and will not permit any person, directly or indirectly, to provide Advertising in connection with your Developer Service or Developer Service Content that is inconsistent with the MySpace Agreement or this Addendum. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you shall block the following types of Advertising (each, an “Abusive Ad”) from delivery to your Developer Service and/or Developer Service Content: Advertising (a) for online gambling, online pharmacies, pornographic products or services, alcohol, guns, or tobacco; (b) containing any software viruses or any other computer code, files, or programs designed to interrupt, destroy, or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment, or otherwise adversely alter the User experience; and © containing any content, work, name, mark, designation, materials, or link that, to a reasonable person (as determined by MySpace in its sole discretion), may be infringing, abusive, obscene, pornographic, defamatory, harassing, grossly offensive, vulgar, threatening, or malicious or in any way contains nudity, sexually explicit or illegal content. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you acknowledge that providing or permitting Advertising to be provided, directly or indirectly, in violation of this Section 5, including, without limitation, failing to block an Abusive Ad will constitute a breach of this Addendum by you and entitle MySpace to all available remedies in law and equity, including, without limitation, special, punitive and exemplary damages and indemnification from you in connection with any third party claim, action or other proceeding arising out of or related to such event.

Proprietary Rights.

As between the parties, MySpace retains all right, title and interest, including without limitation all intellectual property rights, in and to the MySpace Services, including without limitation the MySpace Off-Site Developer Platform, including without limitation, any and all content, look and feel, user interfaces, data and metrics in connection therewith, and any derivative works and/or compilations thereof or relating thereto and any feedback you may provide to MySpace in connection with the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service and, as between the parties, MySpace and its Users retain all right, title and interest, including without limitation all intellectual property rights, in and to MDP Content. MDP Content, collectively with (i) and (ii) above, are referred to herein as the “MySpace Property.” You agree to take such actions (including, without limitation, execution of affidavits or other documents) as MySpace may reasonably request to effect, perfect or confirm MySpace’s rights in and to the MySpace Property.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the MySpace Agreement and this Addendum, MySpace grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable and non-transferable license to access and use the MySpace Off-Site Developer Platform solely to develop, test, display, distribute and execute Developer Service(s) and Developer Service Content, allow you to access the MDP Content in accordance with the MySpace Agreement and this Addendum, allow you to make your Developer Service Content available via the MySpace Services and allow other users to access your Developer Service and Developer Service Content; provided that MySpace reserves the right to limit, restrict or prohibit your or other Member access to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service, including without limitation the MySpace Off-Site Developer Platform and/or all MySpace Services, at any time or over a period of time, with or without notice, in its sole discretion. You will not, and will not permit any person, directly or indirectly, to (i) reverse engineer, disassemble, reconstruct, decompile, translate, modify, copy, or, other than as explicitly permitted hereunder, create derivative works of the MySpace Services, including, without limitation, the MySpace Off-Site Developer Platform, or any aspect or portion thereof, including without limitation, source code and algorithms; or (ii) distribute, sell, resell, lease, license, sublicense or transfer or otherwise make the MySpace Off-Site Developer Platform or any MDP Content available to any person or entity other than as expressly provided herein (including by storing your private key or password or MDP Content in any manner which would enable or facilitate access). You will use the MDP Content solely as necessary for the functionality of your Developer Service. For the avoidance of doubt, the licenses granted to you in this Addendum are personal to you and do not extend to your related entities, affiliates or assigns.
As between the parties, you retain all right, title and interest, including without limitation, all intellectual property rights, in and to any Developer Service and Developer Service Content that you create (excluding any MySpace Property and MySpace Content). By creating or displaying a Developer Service or Developer Service Content in connection with the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service, you hereby grant to MySpace a limited, non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, worldwide license (including, without limitation, under any patent related to such Developer Service or Developer Service Content) to link, reference, promote or otherwise redirect Users to such Developer Service and Developer Service Content and to and allow third parties to display Advertising and other Content with and in connection with such links, references, promotions or other redirects to your Developer Service and Developer Service Content. By submitting, posting or otherwise displaying Developer Service Content or other content on or through the MySpace Services, you hereby grant to MySpace a limited, non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, worldwide license (including, without limitation, under any patent related to such content) to (i) to use, copy, sublicense, reformat, modify, delete from, add to, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, distribute, execute and store and cache on its servers any such content, including without limitation, the right to link or otherwise redirect Users to, frame or embed such content; and (ii) to and allow third parties to display Advertising and other Content with and in connection with the content. Except as expressly granted herein, neither party grants the other party any intellectual property or other proprietary rights. You hereby release and covenant not to sue MySpace, its subsidiaries, or affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, agents, partners and employees, for any and all damages, liabilities, causes of actions, judgments, and claims pertaining to any materials or intellectual property you develop utilizing, in reliance on or with reference to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service or which otherwise may arise in connection with your utilization of, reliance on or reference to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service. In addition, you understand and acknowledge that (i) MySpace and/or its affiliates may be independently creating services and/or other Content in parallel with and similar to your efforts, and (ii) nothing in this Addendum restricts or prevents MySpace or its affiliates from creating and fully exploiting any such services and/or Content of MySpace or its affiliates without any obligation to you. You agree that when you or a user post or otherwise deliver content to the MySpace Services through or in connection with your Developer Service(s), such content will be deemed by MySpace to be made directly to the MySpace Services and subject to then current MySpace terms of use governing such content and any applicable user settings on the MySpace Services, including, without limitation, MySpace’s right to make such content available on and through the MySpace Services and to re-syndicate such content through the MySpace Services to third parties.
You must append the MySpace Tracking Parameters to each link to the MySpace Website included within your Developer Service (but not including API calls through the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service). You must provide a MySpace Button using a Designated MySpace Mark (as defined below) which includes “MySpace” on your Developer Service(s) at the initiation point for your Developer Service. If you display MDP Content related to a User on your Developer Service, you must provide a link to such User’s MySpace Profile from such MDP Content. Next to each User status and mood or activity update or other User action which you display on your Developer Service(s) (including each item available through the Real-Time Stream API), you must display the MySpace update logo (set forth at http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=MySpaceID_Logo_Kit) and link the logo back to such User’s MySpace Profile. In addition, if you provide activities, status updates or comments from the User’s profile within a Developer Service, you must provide a link back to the original event (e.g., photo upload, friend request or new message), status update or comment, as applicable, on the User’s MySpace Profile and if you provide a User’s profile photo within a Developer Service, you must provide a link back to the User’s MySpace Profile from such profile photo.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the MySpace Agreement and this Addendum, MySpace grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license to access and use the MySpace trademark and logos set forth at http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=MySpaceID_Logo_Kit, (each a “Designated MySpace Mark”) on your Developer Service, solely for the purposes set forth in Section 6.4 and to identify a button to take Users to the User interface of the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service on the MySpace Services (such link a “MySpace Button”) from your Developer Service. You may only display the Designated MySpace Marks in the form as provided by MySpace, but you may change the size of such Designated MySpace Marks so long as the proportions remain unchanged. The quality of your use of the Designated MySpace Mark pursuant to this license shall be of a high standard reasonably acceptable to MySpace, and shall be of at least equal quality to such use by MySpace directly. MySpace shall have the right to inspect your use of the Designated MySpace Mark at any time, and to request and approve in advance samples of your proposed use of the Designated MySpace Mark. All use by you of the Designated MySpace Mark pursuant to this license and all goodwill arising therefrom shall inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of MySpace.
Services.

You are solely responsible for your Developer Service(s) and Developer Service Content, and any material or information that you transmit to other Members and for your interactions with other Users, including without limitation, complying with all Applicable Law, the MySpace Agreement and this Addendum and for procuring and maintaining all necessary licenses, permissions and rights for your Developer Service(s).

violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademark, contract rights or any other rights of any person; [Note that even if you lawfully possess a copy of the content which you are uploading (e.g., because you purchased a copy of a photo), this alone does not give you the right to lawfully upload this copy to the MySpace Services or a Developer Service.];

contain any type of multi-media unless properly licensed for this specific use;

use the MDP Content other than as it is provided through the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service or edit, add to, delete from, remove hyperlinks from, add hyperlinks to, or otherwise modify MDP Content (including, without limitation, information within a User’s Portable Profile) except that you may allow a User to update such User’s MySpace status or mood in accordance with this Addendum;
display or otherwise provide (i) any User Information to any person other than the User from which such User Information was retrieved (“Originating User”); without the prior consent of the Originating User or (ii) any other information that may compromise the privacy or security of any person, as determined by MySpace in its sole discretion;
display or otherwise provide data from a Friends Stream API for a User to anyone other than such User, even at such User’s election [e.g., you may not display or provide the User with the ability or option to display or otherwise share a User’s friends’ information outside of that User]; provided this section does not prohibit you from displaying the same information retrieved from the Public Profile API or Real-Time Stream API;

unless otherwise designated in writing by MySpace, directly, or indirectly, proxy or encourage or facilitate the proxy of any MDP Content.
Caching and Storing.

MDP Content.

Other than as explicitly designated in writing by MySpace and in accordance with the MySpace policies set forth at http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=Portable_Contacts_REST_Resources, you and your Developer Service and Developer Service Content will not, and will not permit any person, directly or indirectly, to transfer, export, cache, store any or encourage or facilitate the transfer, exportation, caching, storing of any MDP Content associated with User activity or other post occurring over ninety (90) days prior. If caching of MDP Content is permitted (other than for MDP Content you obtain through the Real-Time Stream API), you may not cache any content retrieved through the Friends Stream API or User Stream API for more than four (4) hours or any other MDP Content for more than twenty-four (24) hours. If MDP Content is designated so that you may store such content (e.g., a User’s Portable Profile), such content must still be refreshed at least every twenty-four (24) hours until such time as the user from which such content was generated has revoked permission to your Developer Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you are not obligated to update the static MySpace user identification number provided by MySpace for a User; provided however, that the user identification number for a User must be deleted immediately upon revocation of permission for your Developer Service to access MDP Content in connection with such User.

Real-Time Stream API.

If you obtain MDP Content through the Real-Time Stream API, you must immediately honor all control signals (including, without limitation, notice of deleted or updated content or changes in Users’ privacy settings) provided by MySpace through the Real-Time Stream API and you may not cache or store any such MDP Content for more than fourteen (14) days.

Collecting Payment.

If you or your Developer Service collects or uses or directs the User to a service to collect (each such service, a “Payment Service”) any payment or account information or other value (including, without limitation, information from the User in connection with an offer for value) from Users you and all Payment Service(s) must comply with the then-current rules and regulations of all payment networks you use and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards available at http://www.pcicomplianceguide.org/pci-basics.html. The failure of a Developer, Payment Service or Developer Service to provide a User with services, product or other value for which the User has paid or otherwise provided value to the Developer, Payment Service or Developer Service may result in immediate and/or permanent suspension of the Developer Service and/or your access to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service, at MySpace’s sole discretion. In addition, you and your Developer Service and, if applicable, the Payment Service must clearly obtain a user’s explicit consent to any payment or offer and conspicuously, clearly and accurately disclose (i) that any payment collection is directly by you and if applicable, the Payment Service, and not MySpace and that you are solely responsible for the provision of the item or services; (ii) the terms of purchase or collection, including, without limitation, the item or services purchases and the duration of use for the item or service, including any renewal terms; and (iii) a policy and mechanism for refund in appropriate circumstances (i.e. if the item or services do not function as promised or the duration of use is not met). For the avoidance of doubt, you and your Developer Service(s) may not contain, link to or otherwise promote opt-out offers with hidden renewals and the failure to comply with this prohibition may result in immediate suspension of the related Developer Service(s) and/or permanent suspension of your access to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service, at MySpace’s sole discretion.

Customer Service.

Customer service is a very important part of your responsibilities as a Developer. Note that repeat User complaints and/or failure to adhere to these requirements may result in immediate and/or permanent suspension of your access to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service, at MySpace’s sole discretion. You and your Developer Services must:

have a clear, and easily discoverable area for Users to (i) ask the MySpace Off-Site Developer questions about your Developer Service; (ii) report abuse regarding the Developer Service; (iii) block another User from interacting with such User through the Developer Service; (iv) unlink the User’s MySpace Profile from your Developer Service; (v) change the User’s privacy settings for your Developer Service; and (vi) cancel the User’s account with your Developer Service and delete any MDP Content associated with such account (including, without limitation, any MDP Content which MySpace has designated as storable if directed by the User) from your Developer Service;
respond to any communication sent by a User with assistance within a reasonable period of time and resolve User complaints in a timely manner;
address User questions and complaints posted in your Developer Service’s user forum in a timely manner;
ensure that content posted in your Developer Service’s user forum complies with the MySpace Agreement and Addendum; and
clearly and conspicuously disclose that any communication, offer or payment collection is directly by or with the Developer, and not MySpace.
Service Communications.

Developer Services and Developer Service Content must be clear and truthful when communicating with Users and initiating communications between Users. The User must be made aware, prior to initiating any action, of both the form and content of that action, whether they are posting to their own MySpace Profile, sending a comment or message, or posting a bulletin or item to a MySpace activity stream. (e.g., “Share with your friends” is not allowed, but “Post a bulletin to your friends” is acceptable). You and your Developer Service(s) and Developer Service Content will not, and will not permit any person, directly or indirectly, to:

incentivize a User to “opt-in” to share their email address, first and last name, social security number or phone number to earn prizes, points, virtual money, a ranking, or any benefit within or outside the Developer Service;
post to or update a User’s MySpace Profile or send any message, friend request, comment, bulletin, notification, surveys, or any other form of communication (other than posting an activity update to a User’s MySpace stream in accordance with 7.9.3 below) without the User’s opt-in for each post or communication. All communications or profile posts/updates sent by a Developer Service must be displayed in advance to the initiating User, and the User must confirm the action prior to completing the communication or profile post/update;
post an activity to a User’s MySpace stream without such User’s opt-in for each post or a User’s opt-in for your Developer Service to post to such User’s MySpace stream without a prompt each time. All activity posts must be displayed in advance to the initiating User, and the User must confirm the post prior to posting it to the User’s MySpace Steam unless you have displayed a sample post to the initiating User and received such User’s opt-in for your Developer Service to post to such User’s MySpace steam without a prompt each time;
prompt a User to post to a MySpace Profile (including on such User’s activity feed) unless such prompt is initiated by a User action and such post is related to such action;
incentivize a User to send messages, invitations, bulletins, comments, surveys, friend requests or any other form of communication or profile post/update to earn prizes, points, virtual money, a ranking, or any benefit within or outside the Developer Service;
make service content or functionality contingent upon sending a message or friend request to another user or posting to/updating a User’s MySpace Profile;
initiate a MySpace messaging or profile post/update form to a User without prompting. (i.e., messaging, post to and update forms may only be presented to a User upon a click to “send Bulletin,” “Comments,” “Update Status,” “Post to Profile,” etc);

Protecting Copyright and Other Intellectual Property.

You agree to take all actions necessary to allow and assist MySpace to comply with Section 9 of the MySpace Agreement.
In addition, if a Developer Service that you create allows Users to download, view, listen to or otherwise access or distribute content provided by other Users, you must post and implement a copyright policy that complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), which must include, without limitation:
registering an agent with the United States Copyright Office to receive notices of claimed infringement;
if you receive a notice of infringement, expeditiously removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content and if necessary, contacting the person who submitted the notice for additional information; and
the adoption and implementation of a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of repeat infringers.
A sample copyright policy is provided here (“Sample Policy”) for your reference. If you wish to use the Sample Policy, please fill in all necessary information before posting it as your copyright policy. You must post your copyright policy on a page of your Developer Service and include a link to the policy on each page of your Developer Service or Developer Service Content which allows viewers to download, view, listen to or otherwise access or distribute content. Please note that the Sample Policy is provided for reference purposes only. MySpace’s provision of the Sample Policy does not constitute legal advice, and MySpace does not represent or warrant that your adoption and implementation of this policy will ensure safe harbor protection under the DMCA. You are solely responsible for complying with all Applicable Law, including copyright laws.

Privacy.

You agree to disclose, implement and comply with standards of privacy and confidentiality for the collection, use, sharing and storage of any data related to any User (including without limitation, with respect to MDP Content), any party with access to such data, and for messaging and other communication with Users, that are at least as stringent and user-favorable as the standards set forth in the then applicable MySpace privacy policy and then current industry standards. You are prohibited from providing any MDP Content or other data related to MySpace Users which you access or collect or are provided through use of the MDP Content in connection with your Developer Service other than as expressly provided in this Addendum, including for the purpose of Advertising.
The MySpace Off-Site Developer Service includes certain restrictions and User settings on data access meant to protect User privacy and gives Users the ability to control access to privacy settings for their User Information and User Content in connection with Developer Services (a User’s “Privacy Settings”). You hereby agree to comply with, and in no way circumvent, all such data access restrictions set by MySpace (including, without limitation, based on User age and a User’s friends only view settings for certain content) and the User’s Privacy Settings and to reflect updates to any such restrictions and settings as promptly as possible, including, without limitation, by deleting any MDP Content (other than Portable Profile if a User sets up a profile on your Developer Service using the MDP Content and chooses to maintain such profile after termination of your Developer status) for a User upon such User’s revocation of permission for your Developer Service or other setting change which would require such deletion. You must provide Users with explicit, clear, accurate and timely notice about how your Developer Service will use the MDP Content. If a User opts-in to share MDP Content related to such User with your Developer Service, you may only use such MDP Content as explicitly authorized by such User. You agree that you will not, and will not permit any person, directly or indirectly to, circumvent or modify such User’s Privacy Settings. In addition, you must obtain explicit authorization from a User prior to publishing any information related to such User on the MySpace Services.
If your Developer Service enables a User to upload photos to the MySpace Services, at each upload opportunity you must display to the User and obtain the User’s consent to the privacy level that will apply to the photos on the MySpace Services using the following setting choices: “Me – Albums that are private;” ‘Friends Only – Albums visible to only friends;” and “Everyone – Albums visible to everyone” and provide the User’s selected settings to MySpace with the upload of the photos to the MySpace Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your Developer Service includes an automatic background synchronization of photos to the MySpace Services, you may display to the User and obtain the User’s consent to the privacy settings above upon the User opting in to the automatic synchronization function and do not need to prompt the User for consent upon the automatic synchronization; provided that you (i) have clearly explained to the User that photo synchronization from your Developer Service to the MySpace Services will occur automatically and obtained the User’s opt in to such synchronization; and (ii) at all times your Developer Service provides the User with an easily accessible and understandable way to change the User’s photo privacy settings (consistent with the language above) and to allow the User to effective immediately opt out of the synchronization.
You acknowledge and agree that you may only access the personal information (“Personal Information”) of a User upon MySpace’s notice to you that such User has “opted-in” to permit you access to such information and you may only collect Personal Information from a User if that User opts-in to such collection after you have clearly disclosed that the information is being collected directly by you, and not by MySpace, and have directed the User via a link to your privacy policy. If a User opts-in to permit you access to such User’s Personal Information (including, without limitation, email address) through the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service, you may use such Personal Information only for customer service related communications unless you obtain a separate opt-in from such User to use the Personal Information for other purposes and each such purpose is accurately and clearly disclosed to such User before opt-in.
At the reasonable request of MySpace, you will promptly provide MySpace with information about a particular User of your Developer Service and will cooperate with law enforcement and other regulatory agencies in order to: (i) protect or defend the legal rights or property of MySpace or other companies within or affiliated with the News America Group or their employees, agents and contractors; to (including enforcement of our agreements); (ii) protect the safety and security of Users or members of the public including acting in urgent circumstances; (iii) protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or (iv) comply with the law or legal process.

MySpace reserves the right to issue publicity and promotional materials mentioning and/or describing the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service, Developer Services and/or Developers.

In addition, at MySpace’s reasonable request you will provide MySpace with information and/or other materials, and if any of your Developer Services are downloadable, including, without limitation, on a mobile or other wireless device, you will provide MySpace with a copy of such downloadable Developer Service(s) and any supporting documentation.

If you breach this Addendum by using or permitting the use of, directly or indirectly, the MDP Content other than as authorized under this Addendum, you acknowledge that you will have caused substantial harm to MySpace, but that the amount of such harm would be extremely difficult to ascertain with certainty. As a reasonable estimation of such harm, in addition to any other legal remedies which may be available to MySpace, you agree, (i) to pay MySpace $100 for each MySpace Profile referenced in the MDP Content impacted by such breach and (ii) if your access to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service is suspended or terminated in connection with such breach and you, your employees or affiliates gain access to the MySpace Off-Site Developer Service through another MySpace Profile, you agree to pay MySpace $100 for each data request made by any Developer Service established under such MySpace Profile. In addition, you acknowledge that MySpace may refer such any such matter to law enforcement and regulatory agencies, in its sole discretion.
