Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to You.

Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold WMG and its directors, officers, employees, agents, members, partners, suppliers, and licensors harmless and will keep them indemnified from any third-party claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, relating to or arising from: (a) your material (including anything you submit to us) or your use of the Services; (b) any violation by you of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any another party’s rights or applicable law.

Governing Law and Venue. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflict of laws provisions. Subject to the Arbitration Provision, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York for any and all disputes, claims, and actions arising from or in connection with the Services or these Terms. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to these Terms.
General. Section titles are only for convenience and have no legal or contractual significance. Any list of examples following “including” or “e.g.,” is illustrative and not exhaustive, unless qualified by terms like “only” or “solely”. WMG’s failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive its rights to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. A waiver will only be binding on WMG if it is in a written document signed by WMG. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining terms, covenants, and restrictions will remain in full force and effect. You and WMG intend that the provisions of these Terms be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, you and WMG agree that if any provision is deemed unenforceable, where possible, it will be modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, which may include its deletion. WMG may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice to you, and these Terms will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of WMG ’s successors and assigns. You may not assign, transfer or sublicense your rights (if any). These Terms (including any incorporated terms) and any Additional Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and WMG with respect to the Services. Both you and WMG warrant to each other that, in entering this agreement, neither WMG nor you have relied on nor will have any right or remedy based upon any statement, representation, warranty, or assurance other than those expressly stated in these Terms (including any incorporated terms) and any Additional Terms. The preceding sentence will not limit or exclude any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. No one other than you or WMG, and WMG’s successors and assigns, will have any right to enforce these Terms.
