If a Retailer does not make all necessary payments to secure the appropriate music publishing licenses, we may, but are not obligated to, make certain payments for the music publishing licenses required in connection with such Retailer's Digital Distribution, and in connection therewith we shall have the right to deduct any payments we may make with respect to such licenses from any amounts payable to you hereunder.
  • (f) You acknowledge and agree that you will not, and will not authorize or encourage any third party to, directly or indirectly, use any deceptive, fraudulent, or other invalid means or method, including any manual or automated means, bots, botnets, robots, spiders, scrapers, data mining tools, automated scripts, or the like, to access your Recording(s) from the Retailers to generate plays, public performances, downloads, purchases, streams, or other uses of, or interactions with, your Recording(s) for the purpose of generating invalid or fraudulent Sale Proceeds or otherwise.

Reinstatement will not cause any payments retained by us to be paid to you. When you pay the reinstatement fee and re-subscribe to the Distribution Service, you will again be obligated to pay all applicable Service Fees.
