("STINGRAY"), AND NOT WITH ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY (E.G. THE APPLICATION STORE) OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES, STATING THE COMPLETE TERMS THAT GOVERN CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE STINGRAY BUSINESS MOBILE APPLICATION (THE "APP") AND OF THE STINGRAY BUSINESS MUSIC SERVICE AVAILABLE THROUGH SUCH APP (THE "STINGRAY BUSINESS SERVICE").

IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS, CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT USE THE APP AND THE STINGRAY BUSINESS SERVICE.

BY USING THE APP AND THE STINGRAY BUSINESS SERVICE, CUSTOMER SIGNIFIES THAT IT HAS READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED TO BE BOUND BY EACH AND EVERY TERM OF THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (THE "AGREEMENT").

STINGRAY MAY REFUSE ACCESS TO THE APP AND TO THE STINGRAY BUSINESS SERVICE FOR NON-COMPLIANCE WITH ANY PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT VERY CAREFULLY.

 

1. The App and the Stingray Business Service

Stingray is the sole owner and provider of the App, including but not limited to, when offered through: (i) the Android Market and on other Android applications stores (collectively the "Android Store"); (ii) the Apple App Store via the iTunes Store (the "Apple Store"); and/or (iii) on any other similar application store(s) owned and operated by third parties where the App is made available by Stingray, if any (the “Other Stores”), and of the Stingray Business Service accessible through such App. The Android Store, the Apple Store and the Other Stores shall be referred to thereafter as the “Store(s)”.

If Customer is a first-time user of the Stingray Business Service via the App, Customer will have to download the App via the Store. Once Customer has downloaded the App via the Store, Customer will need to subscribe to the Stingray Business Service which is offered as a recurring monthly subscription. In order to do so, Customer will need to sign up for an account on the website located at https://cs.business.stingray.com/#/subscribe (the “Stingray Business Website"), specify the single commercial establishment located in Canada for which Customer is subscribing (the “Premise”) and provide a valid credit card number. Customer’s first monthly subscription period will start on the day of subscription and will expire one month later at 23:59 (11:59 pm) (as an example, if Customer has subscribed on May 5th, the first monthly subscription period will start on May 5th and expire on June 4th at 23:59) and the monthly subscription will renew automatically and successively thereafter for an additional calendar month period (each a “Subscription Period”). In the event that Customer wishes to receive the Stingray Business Service in more than one (1) of its commercial establishment, Customer shall have a distinct subscription for each such commercial establishment. For the avoidance of doubt, if Customer created an account in the past to access Stingray Music, Customer will need to create a new account to access the Stingray Business Service.

Once Customer has successfully subscribed to Stingray Business Service, and entered in the App the key that Stingray has sent to Customer’s account on the management portal located at: https://cs.business.stingray.com/ (the “Customer Portal”), the App will give Customer free access to the Stingray Business Service for a thirty (30) day period (the “Trial Period”) and thereafter up until Customer cancels its recurring subscription as set forth in Section 18 or until terminated in accordance with this Agreement, subject to Customer’s payment of the applicable subscription fees, and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

The Stingray Business Service will allow Customer to choose between various channels of continuous, uninterrupted music produced according to specific genres and to stream the content of such channels for communication as background music in the Premise. The Stingray Business Service may also allow Customer to skip the song playing to listen to the next song in line on the playlist of a channel.

 

2. Use of the App and the Stingray Business Service on Other Devices

In addition to the devices that Customer owns or controls and from which Customer has downloaded the App or with which Customer first used the App downloaded through Customer’s computer, the Stingray Business Service may also be accessible through other devices that Customer owns or controls, subject to the terms of use of the applicable Store (the "Store Terms and Conditions"), and provided that Customer can only access the Stingray Business Service from one (1) device at a time.

When using the Stingray Business Service for the first time on any such other devices that Customer owns or controls, Customer will be required to download the App on such device from the Store (or when applicable, by synchronizing such device with Customer’s computer in accordance with the applicable Store Terms and Conditions). Customer will also be required to authenticate itself by providing Customer’s Account Email and Customer’s key or via any other authentication method provided by Stingray. Once Customer has accessed the Stingray Business Service through a device, such device will be automatically granted access to the Stingray Business Service thereafter without the need to re-enter such information. If one of Customer’s devices is accessing the Stingray Business Service while Customer is trying to access the Stingray Business Service with another device, Customer will be asked to select the device through which Customer wishes to access the Stingray Business Service and the other active session will be automatically closed.

Any and all devices that Customer owns or controls shall be referred to thereafter as "Device(s)".
