License to MSSPL
By providing Content to the Service, you grant to MSSPL a worldwide, exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to use and stream that Content (including to maintain copies for the purpose of streaming to members of the platform who may have subscribed to the Service on the promise of access to that content).

The licenses granted by you continue for a commercially reasonable period of time after you remove or delete your Content from the Service. You understand and agree, however, that MSSPL may retain, but not display, distribute, or perform, server copies of your videos that have been removed or deleted, unless this content has been sold by you to members of the Service or who may have subscribed to the Service on the promise of access to that content, in which case it would be required to maintain a copy for access for those individuals.
Right to Monetize
You grant to MSSPL the right to monetize your Content on the Service (and such monetization may include displaying ads on or within Content or charging users a fee for access). Other than as has been explicitly agreed to between you and MSSPL in writing, this Agreement does not entitle you to any payments from MSSPL. However, if MSSPL establishes and publishes a royalty payable to content owners for streaming content on the Service, you will be entitled to that payment. Some or all of the payments you may be entitled to receive from MSSPL under any other agreement between you and MSSPL may be treated as royalties. If required by law, MSSPL will withhold taxes from such payments.

We may notify you with the reason for our action, except where we reasonably believe that to do so: (a) would breach the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority or would otherwise risk legal liability for MSSPL or our Affiliates; (b) would compromise an investigation or the integrity or operation of the Service; or (c) would cause harm to any user, other third party, MSSPL or our Affiliates.
Community Guidelines Strikes
MSSPL may operate a system of “strikes” in respect of Content that violates the musifie streaming services Community Guidelines.
