This is a legal agreement between you and iMoveiLive Online Music Magazine. dba “MusicHoarder” (“Music Hoarder”).

1. Services.
2. During the Term, Music Hoarder seeks to sell certain master recordings and the underlying musical compositions embodied therein submitted by you to Music Hoarder (such master recordings and musical compositions shall be individually and collectively referred to herein as the "Masters") via the Internet in a variety of formats on the website www.musichoarder.com (the “Site”). Your use of the Services shall be on a non-exclusive basis. For the avoidance of doubt, you may exploit and license the Masters for services and retailers not provided by Music Hoarder for such Master hereunder.
3. You can choose from two different Services plans for each album (comprising three or more Masters) or single (one Master) that you distribute through Music Hoarder: the “Arena Plan” or the “Stadium Plan,” as set forth on the Site (collectively, the “Plans”). Fees paid by you as part of your selected Plan are non-refundable. Once you choose your Plan for a particular album and/or single, you cannot change Plans. If you choose the Stadium Plan and fail to make a future payment due, the applicable album and/or single will be automatically moved to the default Arena Plan and will not be removed from the Services until Music Hoarder receives notice from you, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, terminating this Agreement with regard to such album and/or single.
4. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be one (1) year from the Effective Date and will automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods (the “Term”), until terminated in writing by either party ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then current period.
