terms of service

Slang Distribution, Inc. (“Slang”) provides its services and offerings (the “Slang Service,” as further described below) subject to these conditions, as well as Slang’s Copywrite and Privacy Policy (incorporated herein by this reference and collectively referred to as the “Terms of Service”).  By accessing or using the Slang Service, you (“you” , “your” or  “Licensor ” as applicable) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.  If you register on behalf of a business, you represent to Slang that you have the authority to bind that business and that your acceptance of these Terms of Service will be treated as acceptance by that business.  In that event, the terms “you” and “your” will refer to that business.  Slang reserves the right at any time to modify, discontinue or terminate the Slang Service, or modify these Terms of Service, without notice.  If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions in their entirety, you may not use the Slang Service.

Please note that, as described further in Section 5 below, each Claiming Party for each sound recording must agree to these Terms of Service by subscribing to the Slang Service.  Slang will not process payments for any sound recording Claiming Party unless and until such time as all such Claiming Parties for the applicable Licensed Content have subscribed to the Slang Service. 

The Slang Service

The Slang Service is comprised of
(i) the Slang or Stem application, an application that will allow you to upload and view Licensed Content and related accounting, payment and other information;

(ii) the Slang website, currently located at www.slangdistribution.com or  www.Stem.is   (and/or any successor or additional website(s) owned or operated by or for Slang);

(iii) the Slang syndication network to the extent provided by Slang (for example, when Slang makes videos, sound recordings or other content available on Third Party Platforms, as defined below);

(iv) the servers and networks operated by or on behalf of Slang; and/or

(v) any other technology and/or services (including payment technology) that Slang provides or uses in connection with the Slang Service.  The Slang Service allows you to make video, audio and other content available through certain third-party services (“Third Party Platforms”), as determined by Slang from time to time.  All content you make available hereunder is referred to as “Licensed Content”.  Licensed Content may include sound recordings, audiovisual works (i.e., videos), musical compositions embodied in sound recordings, related promotional materials and any other type of original work that you may upload to the Slang Service from time to time, along with any other material that is ancillary to the Licensed Content, including, without limitation, text, software, scripts, graphics, images, audio, and other information relating to the Licensed Content.

Elements of Licensed Content may be owned or controlled by more than one person or entity.  The owner or controller of each such element is referred to herein as a “Claiming Party.”  As set forth in Section 4 below, you agree to identify the Claiming Party for each element of the Licensed Content.

Licensed Content

As between you and Slang, you retain all rights in the Licensed Content not expressly licensed hereunder.  You shall be solely responsible for the Licensed Content, whether created by or for you, and the consequences of posting or publishing Licensed Content by means of the Slang Service.  You may not submit Licensed Content that contains any pornographic, infringing, hate-related, violent or illegal elements. You may only upload and publish Licensed Content for which you have sufficient rights and licenses to permit Slang’s sub-licensing and distribution as provided herein.  You acknowledge that you have no expectation of privacy or confidentiality with respect to the Licensed Content.

License and Right to Sublicense

The Slang Service offers you several methods of distribution and publishing for your Licensed Content.  For each method that you select on the Slang Service, you hereby grant to Slang a non-exclusive, sub-licensable and transferable right and license, in the countries you designate to Slang (the “Permitted Territory”) to:
(i)  market, sell, distribute, use, display, publicly perform, transmit, distribute, copy, edit, modify, store, reproduce, make available for download or streaming and/or otherwise provide your Licensed Content, as applicable, through the Slang Service and on Permitted Third Party Platforms (defined below).

(ii)  secure, encode, reproduce, host, cache, route, reformat, analyze and create algorithms based on the Licensed Content;

(iii)  distribute, transmit, and/or display the Licensed Content and encoded works via such technologies as are supported by Slang or the Permitted Third Party Platforms from time to time;

(iv)  display advertisements and promotional material in connection with the Licensed Content; and

(v)  perform such other acts with respect to the Licensed Content as are necessary from time to time to allow Slang to provide the Slang Service.

The rights granted hereunder shall include the sale and making available of Licensed Content by, without limitation, permanent digital downloads, temporary digital downloads, interactive streaming, non-interactive streaming, so-called “cloud services” and interactive television.  In claiming rights in Licensed Content, you will identify any Permitted Territory for which you own or control the rights referred to above.  Slang’s rights hereunder shall include, without limitation, the right to reproduce and store the entirety of the Licensed Content and the components thereof (i.e., recordings, data and artwork) and any related promotional materials in digital form on one or more computer facilities of or under the control of Slang and/or its subcontractors for the purpose of effectuating the marketing, sale and distribution of the Licensed Content as permitted hereunder.
This license to Slang and the Permitted Third Party Platforms will terminate at such time as you remove or delete your Licensed Content from the Slang Service, or you otherwise indicate that you no longer control the above rights for a specific Permitted Territory.

You understand and agree that

(i) the foregoing termination is subject to a reasonable wind-down period, not to exceed thirty (90) days, during which your Licensed Content may remain available through the Slang Service and

(ii) Slang may retain, but not display, distribute, or perform, metadata relating your Licensed Content that you removed or deleted from the Slang Service.

Identification

You shall submit the following information for each separate work constituting Licensed Content you submit to the Slang Service hereunder (“Licensed Work”) for each Permitted Territory:
(i)  the name or title of the Licensed Work, and any other identifying or related information Slang may request from time to time;

(ii)  the Permitted Territory for which rights are granted;

(iii)  the names of Third Party Platforms that may exploit the Licensed Content in each such Permitted Territory (“Permitted Third Party Platforms”);

(iv)  a listing of each and every party claiming rights in any element of the Licensed Work (including any and all contributors to the musical composition embodied in the Licensed Work) (as defined above, each, a “Claiming Party” and collectively the “Claiming Parties”); and

(v)  contact and payment information (method, bank routing) for each Claiming Party, including without limitation the percentage interest of any Net Income to be paid to each such Claiming Party.

You may enter and update this information and your account information via the Slang Application.

Payment

For each work comprising part of the Licensed Content, Slang will pay all Claiming Parties in the aggregate a sum equal to ninety-five percent (85%) of Net Income.  As used herein, “Net Income” is defined as Slang’s actual receipts from Third Party Platforms with respect to Licensed Content, less any tax, fee or other third-party charge related to the exploitation of the Licensed Content.  To the extent that you owe any amounts to Slang as a consequence of these Terms of Service or otherwise, Slang shall have the right to deduct all or a portion of such amounts from any Net Income otherwise payable to Claiming Parties.  Such amounts shall be paid to the Claiming Parties according to the percentage interests you provide pursuant to Section 4(v) above.

Slang will provide any payments due to each Claiming Party within forty-five (45) business days following the end of the calendar month in which Slang receives any amount from a Third Party Platform in respect of an item of Licensed Content.   Slang will not make payment to any Claiming Party unless and until the earned balance for that Claiming Party is at least US $100 (or its equivalent in local currency) at the time payment is due.  Each Claiming Party shall have a valid method of payment (bank information) on file with Slang.  Slang may suspend payments to any Claiming Party not having a valid method of payment (bank information) on file with Slang.  Any objection relating to any accounting statement or any lawsuit arising therefrom must be made (and any lawsuit commenced) no later than one (1) year after the date the statement is rendered, and you hereby waive any longer statute of limitations that may be permitted by law.  You will be responsible for any bank fees or other charges related to such payments.

By listing the Claiming Parties as set forth in Section 4(v) above, you represent and warrant that for each Licensed Work you have identified every possible Claiming Party.  You also acknowledge that each Claiming Party will receive any payments due separately and that Slang will only pay you your percentage interest.  All payments due hereunder shall be processed according to the information you give to Slang and only to the extent that information includes a valid payment method.  Please note that all Licensed Works comprised of sound recordings, each Claiming Party must agree to these Terms of Service by subscribing to the Slang Service.  Slang will not process payments for any Licensed Works comprised of sound recordings unless and until such time as all Claiming Parties are subscribers to the Slang Service. 

In the event that Slang in the exercise of its sole discretion has reason to suspect that your account has been subjected to and/or involved in fraudulent or infringing activities, Slang reserves the right to discontinue the payment of Net Income to any or all Claiming Parties with respect to the applicable Licensed Work(s) until resolution of the suspicion.  Furthermore, you agree that such payments will be forfeited by you if Slang determines, in its good faith discretion, that they are the result of fraud and/or infringement. To the extent that any fraudulent and/or infringing activities are determined to be caused by your or your affiliates’ actions or omissions, any costs Slang incurs (including legal fees and expenses) in connection therewith may, in addition to its other remedies, be deducted by from any monies otherwise payable to you hereunder.  Such deduction shall not act as a limitation on any amounts that may otherwise be due to Slang.  Certain Third Party Platforms may also have policies related to fraud and suspected fraudulent activities and you agree that it is your responsibility to investigate such policies, if any, and such policies shall be binding upon you hereunder.

You shall obtain all necessary consents (including with respect to name and likeness), secured all licenses and paid all associated fees required to be paid to third parties (including for the use of any music performed in, contained in or synchronized with any of the Licensed Content) (“Third Party Fees”) and you covenant to timely pay any and all Third Party Fees required to be paid in the future.  Third Party Fees shall include without limitation fees for (i) synchronization, digital phonorecord delivery, mechanical, public performance and any other licenses (as applicable) required from copyright owners or their agents, (ii) amounts due under collective bargaining agreements or pursuant to statutes or regulations and (iii) and any and all payments that may be due to parties other than Claiming Parties.

EXCLUSIVITY

You agree to not release any other records or singles embodying the performance of
an Artist whose featured performances are embodied in the Content via any other person, entity or platform

for a period of sixty (60) days following Distributor’s initial commercial release of the Content embodying the

featured performances of the Artist concerned (the “Exclusivity Period”).

RE-RECORD RESTRICTION

During the License Period, You shall not permit, to the extent Licensor controls such rights, Artist to re-record the compositions embodied in the applicable Content for any other person, entity or platform (excluding broadcast or concert performances).

UPSTREAMING PROVISION

(a)  If at any time during the Term, You proposes to sell, assign, license, transfer, furnish or otherwise make available to a third party the recording services of any Subject Artist in the Territory or proposes to sell, assign, license, grant distribution rights to or transfer ownership or control of the Masters to a third party in the Territory, You shall notify Slang Distribution in writing of such intention (the “Upstreaming Notice”), and Slang Distribution shall have the exclusive rights of first negotiation and last refusal to acquire the recording services of such Subject Artist or acquire the applicable rights in or to the Masters (the “Acquisition Rights”) upon the following terms and conditions:

Right Of First Negotiation

(i) Slang Distribution shall have the exclusive right, during the fifteen (15) day period immediately following the date Slang Distribution receives the Upstreaming Notice to notify You of Slang Distribution’s desire to enter into negotiations for the applicable Acquisition Rights.

(ii) In the event Slang Distribution so notifies You, Slang Distribution shall have the exclusive right, during the thirty (30) day period immediately following You’s receipt of such notice (the “Negotiation Period”) to negotiate the material terms and conditions of an agreement with You to acquire the applicable Acquisition Rights (“Acquisition Agreement”).  Slang Distribution and You agree to negotiate such terms and conditions at all times reasonably and in good faith, and Slang Distribution and You shall use their respective best efforts to consummate such Acquisition Agreement.

(iii) If Slang Distribution elects not to enter into negotiations for the Acquisition Rights or if, despite the parties’ best efforts, the material terms and conditions of an Acquisition Agreement cannot be reached during the Negotiation Period, then You shall have the right to negotiate an agreement for the applicable Acquisition Rights with any bona fide third parties, subject at all times to Slang Distribution’s right of last refusal as set forth below.

Right Of Last Refusal

(i) At all times during the six (6) month period immediately following the later of (A) the date of You’s Upstreaming Notice or (B) the expiration of the Negotiation Period, if any, You hereby agrees to immediately notify Slang Distribution in writing of any and all third party offers (and any and all third party responses to offers made by You) for any Acquisition Rights (“Notice of Offer”). The Notice of Offer shall include a copy of the third party’s offer or response, if available, and shall set forth the material terms and conditions of such offer or response (“Proposed Third Party Agreement”).

(ii) During the fifteen (15) day period immediately following Slang Distribution’s receipt of a Notice of Offer, Slang Distribution shall have the right to match the material terms and conditions of any such Proposed Third Party Agreement and acquire the applicable Acquisition Rights on such material terms and conditions.

(iii) If Slang Distribution elects not to match the material terms and conditions of a particular Proposed Third Party Agreement, Slang Distribution shall so notify You in writing, whereupon You shall have the right, during the ninety (90) day period immediately following the date of Slang Distribution’s notice, solely to consummate such Proposed Third Party Agreement with the proposing third party, but only upon the same material terms and conditions as were presented to and rejected by Slang Distribution, or upon material terms and conditions that are more favorable to You than the material terms and conditions presented to and rejected by Slang Distribution.  If the applicable Proposed Third Party Agreement is not consummated within the ninety (90) day period referred to herein, then You shall re-submit to Slang Distribution a Notice of Offer in respect of such Proposed Third Party Agreement and Slang Distribution’s Right of First Refusal shall apply in all respects to such re-submitted Notice of Offer.

(iv) If, prior to the consummation of any Proposed Third Party Agreement, the material terms and conditions thereof are altered to be less favorable to You or if for any reason the Proposed Third Party Agreement is not consummated, You hereby agrees to immediately notify Slang Distribution thereof in writing.  You further agrees that Slang Distribution’s right of last refusal as set forth in this Paragraph 3.08 shall apply to any and all subsequent Proposed Third Party Agreement(s).

(b) For purposes of this Paragraph, the words “material terms and conditions” shall include, among other material provisions, as applicable, those provisions of the applicable Acquisition Agreement or Proposed Third Party Agreement relating to (i) the term(s) of exclusivity and rights, (ii) the territory, (iii) product commitment, (iv) royalty rates, (v) recording budgets (if any) and (vi) Advances (if any).

(c) For purposes of this Paragraph, the words “party” and “parties”
shall include persons, firms, association, corporations or other business entities.

First Negotiation Right

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Licensor grants to Slang a "First Negotiation Right" for the duration of the Term of this Agreement. “First Negotiation Right” shall mean, prior to negotiating with any third-party, directly or indirectly, to enter into an exclusive recording agreement, distribution agreement or similar arrangement with an Artist, Licensor shall first give Distributor notice of Licensor’s intention to do so (such notice which shall not be given until Licensor intends to seek, in good faith, third-party offers in connection with the rights concerned) and shall negotiate with Distributor exclusively for a period of no less than thirty (30) days (the “First Negotiation Period”). If an agreement is not reached within the First Negotiation Period, Licensor may thereafter enter into negotiations with a third party to acquire the rights concerned. If material terms are agreed within the First Negotiation Period, but an amendment to this Agreement or separate written agreement, as the case may be, is not yet finalized within the First Negotiation Period, Licensor and Distributor will be deemed to have reached an agreement for purposes of this provision, and, as such,

Licensor shall not be entitled to enter into negotiations with a third party therefor (provided that, if a written agreement regarding the subject matter thereof is not finalized and fully executed within ninety (90) days after such material terms have been agreed, and any failure to enter into such written agreement during this ninety (90) day period is not caused by an unreasonable delay by Licensor or anyone acting on Licensor’s behalf, then Licensor shall be free to approach and negotiate with a third party).

In addition, you may not remove any proprietary notices, marks or labels.

You shall not launch or otherwise use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access the Slang Service in a manner which sends more request messages to the Slang server in any given period of time than a typical human would normally produce in the same period by using a conventional on-line web browser to read, view and submit materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Slang may grant the operators of search engines permission to use robots to copy materials from the Slang website for the sole purpose of creating publicly-available searchable indexes of the materials, but not caches or archives of the materials, provided that we reserve the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases.

You shall not harvest or collect information from the Slang Service, including, without limitation, information about other users of the Slang Service. The use of any information learned through the Slang Service or while on the Slang website is limited to the express purposes set forth in these Terms of Service; all other uses are strictly prohibited.

Unless expressly authorized, you shall not frame or otherwise display any portion of the Slang website or any of its contents.  No hyperlinks to any password-protected web pages on the Slang website are allowed.  Hyperlinks to non-restricted pages are subject to review and termination by Slang in its sole discretion.

Musical Compositions — Publishing Rights

As you are setting up the profile relating to each Licensed Work on the Slang System, you are asked whether you also wish to grant Slang the right to collect amounts due to you for “publishing” rights in the musical composition associated with such Licensed Work, for the Slang Service and on Permitted Third Party Platforms. 

Those rights may include

(i) public performance rights,

(ii) mechanical reproduction rights,

(iii) sync rights and other similar rights required or desirable for use on the Slang Service and on Permitted Third Party Platforms, all of which rights are only applicable for the uses of the Licensed Content granted to Slang herein, and only as such composition is embodied in such Licensed Works.  If you agree by checking that box, then this section will set forth the terms under which you grant those rights to Slang.
You agree that each musical composition embodied in a Licensed Work (defined in Section 4 above), and only as embodied in such Licensed Work and not on any independent or stand-alone basis, shall be part of the Licensed Content hereunder, and you hereby grant to Slang a revocable, non-exclusive, sub-licensable and transferable right and license, in the Permitted Territory (also defined in Section 4) to:

(i) use, display, publicly perform, transmit, distribute, copy, edit, modify, store, reproduce, make available for download or streaming and/or otherwise provide such musical composition as embodied in such Licensed Work through the Slang Service and on Permitted Third Party Platforms (defined above);

(ii) secure, encode, reproduce, host, cache, route, reformat, analyze and create algorithms based on musical compositions comprising Licensed Content;

(iii) distribute, transmit, and/or display such musical compositions embodied in such Licensed Work via such technologies as are supported by Slang or the Permitted Third Party Platforms from time to time;

(iv) display advertisements and promotional material in connection with the musical compositions embodied in such Licensed Work; and

(v) perform such other acts with respect to the musical compositions as embodied in Licensed Works as are necessary from time to time to allow Slang to provide the Slang Service.

The rights granted hereunder shall include without limitation the sale and making available of musical compositions as embodied in Licensed Works by, without limitation, permanent digital downloads, temporary digital downloads, interactive streaming, non-interactive streaming, so-called “cloud services” and interactive television.  In claiming rights in musical compositions comprising an element of Licensed Content, you will identify any Permitted Territory for which you own or control the rights referred to above.  This license to Slang and the Permitted Third Party Platforms will terminate within a commercially reasonable time after you remove or delete the applicable Licensed Content from the Slang Service, or you otherwise indicate that you no longer control the above rights for a specific Permitted Territory.

You represent and warrant that you control the rights granted to Slang in this section.

Amounts Slang receives from the exploitation of the rights granted under Section 13 shall be accounted for as set forth in Section 5 above for the applicable musical composition.  You acknowledge and agree that Slang treats sound recordings and musical compositions as separate works, and that accordingly the Claiming Parties and related percentage interests for each such work may differ, depending on the instructions you provide to Slang.

Force Majeure

Slang shall be excused from performance under these Terms of Service to the extent it is prevented from or delayed from performing, in whole or in part, as a result of an event or series of events caused by or resulting from

(1) weather conditions or other elements of nature or acts of God,

(2) acts of war, acts of terrorism, insurrection, riots, civil disorders or rebellion,

(3) quarantines or embargoes,

(4) labor strikes, or

(5) other causes beyond the reasonable control of Slang.  In the event that Slang is temporarily unable to ship a purchased item to you because of such an event, Slang will give you the option of deferring shipment or receiving a refund of your charges.

Electronic Communication

When you use the Slang Service or send emails to Slang, you are communicating with Slang electronically.  You consent to receive communications electronically from Slang and its Site Affiliates (as defined in the Privacy Policy).  Slang will communicate with you by email or by posting notices on the Site.  You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that are provided to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

By submitting this form, you agree to receive recurring automated promotional and personalized marketing text messages (e.g. cart reminders) from Slang Distribution at the cell number used when signing up. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Reply HELP for help and STOP to cancel. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply.

Modification

Slang reserves the right to make changes to the Slang Service, related policies and agreements, these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy at any time.  If Slang makes a material modification to these Terms of Service, it will notify you by:

(i) sending an email to the address associated with your account; or

(ii) displaying a prominent announcement above the text of these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, as appropriate, for thirty (30) days.  Slang is not responsible for your failure to receive an email due to the actions of your ISP or any email filtering service.

After notice of a modification to the Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy has been posted for 30 days, the notice may be removed.  If you choose to continue using the Site or Service, you agree that by doing so you will be deemed to accept the new Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, as relevant.

Survival

Notwithstanding any other of this Terms of Service, or any general legal principles to the contrary, any provision of this Terms of Service that imposes or contemplates continuing obligations on a party will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms of Service.

General

If any of these conditions are deemed invalid, void, or for any unenforceable, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the unenforceable condition shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition.  Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section.  These Terms of Service and the relationship between you and Slang will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions.  You and Slang agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the County of Los Angeles in the State of California with respect to any legal proceedings that may arise in connection with these Terms of Service.  The failure of Slang to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.  Slang does not guarantee it will take action against all breaches of these Terms of Service.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms of Service, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms of Service.  These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Slang and governs your use of the Site and Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Slang with respect to the Site or Service.

Completed Counter-Notices should be sent to:

Slang Distribution, Inc.

In addition, the Slang Network may use third party analytics software (for example, Google Analytics) to collect further Usage Data regarding the online usage patterns of our users. 

THE WAY SLANG USES INFORMATION

A. We will only user your Personal Data when the law allows us.  Specifically, we will use your Personal Data in the following circumstances:

    • where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into with you or have entered into with you;
    • where it is in our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) to do so and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests;
    • where we need to in order to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

B. We may use your Personal Data and Usage Data (together, “User Information”) to operate, maintain, improve and provide to you the features and functionality of the Slang Network and for related business purposes.  We may combine Usage Data with Personal Data in a manner that enables us to trace Usage Data to an individual user.

C.  We may use your email address or other Personal Data to send you marketing messages about the Slang App, new Slang products and services which are similar to those that you are already using or have enquired about and any Slang updates or as part of a specific program or feature. You will have the ability to opt-out of such use. We may, however, use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of important Slang App changes or for customer service purposes).

D. We use your User Information to

(a) improve the quality and design of the Slang Network and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing user preferences and trends;

(c) provide custom, personalized content and information,

(d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and

(e) track your uses of the Slang Network.

INFORMATION THAT SLANG MAY DISCLOSE

(ii) we may refer you to third-party payment processors to process payment on our behalf.  Any such User Information is provided directly to the Partner and is subject to that Partner’s policies, if any, governing privacy and security. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of our Partners.

B. We may share aggregated and anonymized data as well as Usage Data (such as anonymous user usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with certain third-parties to assist such third parties in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services, and/or functionality on the Slang Network. 

C. We may disclose any User Information:

(i) if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is in compliance with applicable law or in response to a court order, subpoena, legal process or search warrant,

(ii) if we believe, in good faith, such action is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Service, exercise our legal rights, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of the Slang Network, and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Slang, our users or others,

(iii) to any current or future acquirer, parent You, affiliated entity, joint venture, or other entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control with us (in which case we will require such entities to honor this Policy); or

(iv) or as described herein.

OUR COMMITMENT TO DATA SECURITY

Slang uses appropriate physical, technical and organizational safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your User Information and protect against unauthorized or unlawful use or accidental loss, corruption or damage.  Such safeguards include requesting a unique password to verify your identity before granting access to your account. Given the inherent risk of internet transmission, we cannot, ensure or warrant the security of User Information you transmit to Slang and you do so at your own risk. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times. Once we receive your User Information, Slang makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our system, but please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical or organizational safeguards.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Slang does not knowingly collect or maintain Personal Data on or through the Slang Network from persons under 13 years of age, and no part of the Slang Network is directed to persons under 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access the Slang Network at any time or in any manner. If we learn that Personal Data of persons under 13 years of age has been collected on the Slang Network, we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information from our system. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under 13 years of age has provided Personal Data to us, then you may alert us at privacy@Speakslang.com and request that we delete your child’s Personal Data from our system.

SPECIAL NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL USERS

IN THE EVENT OF MERGER, SALE, OR BANKRUPTCY

In the event that we are acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our Users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, assignment, assumption or other change of control. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, we may not be able to control how your User Information is treated, transferred or used, and you consent to the transfer of your User Information to any third party successors or assigns.

CHANGES AND UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically and this will be reflected in the “date last modified” set forth in Section 10 below. If you login to the Slang Network after an update to this Privacy Policy, we will advise you of the update. Your continued use of the Slang Network following such update constitutes your agreement to the revised Privacy Policy.

COOKIES

We use cookies to distinguish you from other users of the Slang Network. 

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive.

We use the following cookies: 

Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of the Slang Network. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of the Slang App. 

Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the Slang Network when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way the Slang Network works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. 

Functionality cookies. These are used to recognize you when you return to the Slang Network. This enables us to personalize your experience.

Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visits to the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make the Slang Network and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Service may become inaccessible or not function properly.

DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. 

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Your legal rights

If you are resident in the EU, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your Personal Data.  You have the right to:

Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you give us.

Request erasure of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of  your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Data if:

(a) you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;

(b) our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;

(c) you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend  legal claims; or

(d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your Personal Data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

CHANGES AND UPDATES TO THIS POLICY

This Policy may be revised periodically and this will be reflected in the “date last modified” set forth in Section 14 below. If you login to the Slang Network after an update to this Policy, we will advise you of the update. Should you continue to use of the Slang Network following such update, any such use shall be governed by the revised Policy.
