3 MUSIC STREAMING SERVICE, MUSIC LICENSE & COLLECTING SOCIETIES
- 3.1 Music Streaming Service. During the Term, Sonos will supply Customer with access to a Music Streaming Service. The content and music catalog, as well as overall offering, featured in the Music Streaming Service may vary between the entry-level Subscription plan (“Essential”), premium Subscription plan (“Premium”), or any other Subscription plan offered to Customers . Those Customers with an Essential or Premium plan Subscription agree that by entering into these General Terms and Conditions they are also agreeing to those terms associated with the Music Streaming Services located at Muzak, LLC dba Mood Media (“Mood Media”). Customer acknowledges that Sonos reserves the right to modify the Music Streaming Service at any time to a different but comparable streaming service during the Term. Where a Music Streaming Service that is part of the Subscription is no longer offered or available, Sonos may deactivate the Customer’s account associated with that streaming service that is no longer offered and will endeavor to promptly replace it with a comparable streaming service.
- 3.2 Music License
- 3.2.1 “Sonos Backgrounds Essential Service” (included with Essential Subscription plans) is a music streaming platform specifically developed for playing music in business establishments, powered by Mood Media. “Sonos Backgrounds Premium Service” (included with Premium Subscription plans) is a music streaming platform specifically developed for playing music in business establishments, powered by Mood Media. Either the Sonos Backgrounds Essential Service or the Sonos Background Premium Service may be referred to as “Sonos Backgrounds”, generally.
- 3.2.2 The terms of Section 3.2 (the “Music License”) apply to Customer’s use of Sonos Backgrounds. By agreeing to these General Terms and Conditions, or by using Sonos Backgrounds, Customer is hereby agreeing to be legally bound by the terms of this Music License.
- 3.2.3 Sonos Backgrounds is a technical software solution for the streaming of music in business establishments which may include curated channels and playlists. Sonos Backgrounds includes a large number of music pieces and sounds, together with related album artwork or other visual content (collectively the “Music Pieces”).
- 3.2.4 Subject to payment of the Subscription Fee and the restrictions in this Article 3, Customer is hereby granted a limited, non-exclusive right to make use of Sonos Backgrounds within the Site(s) during the Term of this Contract.
- 3.2.5 Customer may not use the Music Pieces for any purpose other than use with Sonos Backgrounds for “in-store” streaming at the Site(s), as explicitly allowed under these General Terms and Conditions. In addition, Customer may not: (i) amplify, transmit or re-transmit the broadcast of the Music Pieces so as to be audible outside of any such Site(s); (ii) copy, rent, sell, reproduce, publish, republish, post, broadcast, frame or transmit Sonos Backgrounds or the Music Pieces (or any part of them), nor authorize or assist anyone else in doing so other than as otherwise explicitly permitted under these General Terms and Conditions, nor may Customer reproduce, copy, or “rip” the Music Pieces, in whole or in part; (iii) not use the Mood Audio Content in connection with any form of entertainment for which an entry fee is payable; (iv) not use the Music Pieces in conjunction with any advertising or commercial message or entertainment or other public event at a Site(s) for which Customer or any other person receives consideration of any kind; (v) not use the Music Pieces in connection with performances by a DJ or VJ, or to displace a live orchestra; and (vi) not use the Music Pieces to accompany dancing (including ballrooms, nightclubs and dance studios) bowling, skating or instructed health club classes. Except as may be permitted under mandatory law, Customer further agrees not to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works based on Sonos Backgrounds. In the event that Customer uses the Music Pieces in connection with any of the uses hereunder, Customer is responsible for ensuring that you have obtained and are using the appropriate license(s).
- 3.2.6 Sonos has the right to immediately terminate the Subscription and this Music License and to suspend Customer’s access to Sonos Pro and/or Sonos Backgrounds at any time in the event of Customer’s actual or suspected unauthorized use of Sonos Backgrounds and/or the Music Pieces or other non-compliance with the provisions set forth in these General Terms and Conditions.
- 3.2.7 After the termination of these General Terms and Conditions has taken effect, Customer is no longer entitled to use nor access Sonos Backgrounds or the then-current Music Streaming Service provided as part of the Subscription.
- 3.2.8 Customer hereby acknowledges that Customer does not acquire any proprietary rights as a result of these General Terms and Conditions in relation to Sonos Backgrounds or any Music Pieces.
- 3.3 Collecting societies and the Music Pieces. None of the Music Pieces included in the Sonos Backgrounds Essential Service or Sonos Backgrounds Premium Service are administered by any collecting society by way of membership of a collecting society. Unlike many other services, payments to collecting societies are thus not generally required for Customer’s use of the Sonos Backgrounds Essential Service or Sonos Backgrounds Premium Service. However, in certain jurisdictions outside of the US, copyright, public performance rights, neighboring rights and/or other similar and/or related rights are mandatorily handled by collecting societies and/or similar organizations, granting them a right to collect fees despite such organizations having no rights in the Music Pieces. In any instances where fees are due to collecting societies or similar organizations, Customer agrees to be solely responsible for such payments and Sonos will have no responsibilities in this respect. If the Customer is approached or obtains actual knowledge of any claims from collecting societies or similar organizations relating to the use of the Music Streaming Service, Customer shall promptly notify Sonos. For the sake of clarity, Sonos shall in no event have any responsibility for any fees to collecting societies or similar organizations.
- 3.4 If Sonos receives information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to Sonos Backgrounds, Sonos may in its sole discretion and at no cost to Customer, choose to either (i) modify Sonos Backgrounds so that it is no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate, (ii) obtain a license for Customer’s continued use of Sonos Backgrounds in accordance with this Agreement, or (iii) terminate Customer’s Subscription upon ten (10) days’ written notice and refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription period of the terminated Subscription. The above obligations do not apply to the extent a claim arises from Customer’s use of Sonos Backgrounds in violation of this Contract.
- 3.5 During the Term, Sonos does not warrant that the Sonos Products or that the Music Streaming Service will operate without interruption or will be error-free, or that all errors will be corrected.

- 4.1 The Customer must:
- 4.1.1 act in accordance with applicable laws and regulations when performing the activities pursuant to these General Terms and Conditions;
- 4.1.2 with respect to the Music Streaming Service included with Sonos Backgrounds, utilize no more than one (1) Stream per physical retail/business location (single brick and mortar business location) with the exception of where Customer is sampling or demoing the Music Pieces privately (e.g. playing an additional Stream outside of regular business hours or not in front of the public who Customer holds their business open to);

5 PAYMENT, TERM AND CANCELLATION
- 5.1 Billing. You may purchase a Subscription directly from Sonos or from an authorized reseller by paying a Subscription Fee in advance on a monthly basis, annual basis, or some other recurring interval disclosed to you prior to your purchase. In the event Customer’s Sonos Products require an initial set up, Customer shall not see a balance for their monthly Subscription Fee until the first Sonos Product has been set up, at which point Customer will receive a pro-rated invoice for the remainder of the Term. For a Subscription entered into on an annual basis (“Annual Subscription”), you acknowledge and agree that your Subscription Fee shall be calculated based on the number of Systems indicated at the time of purchase, regardless of whether Sonos Products have been set up for your purchased Systems, and that your Subscription shall be effective on the date of purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer’s billing anniversary date (“Billing Date”) shall be the date Customer purchased the Subscription.
- 5.2 Taxes and Shipping Charges. Customer agrees to pay the amount specified in the order placed for the Subscription Fee and/or any Sonos Products, inclusive of any additional amounts (including sales tax, shipping charges, or other fees, as applicable) as may be accrued by or in connection with your purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of tax charged on your order will depend upon many factors including the type of Sonos Product(s) purchased and the destination of the shipment, if any. Factors are subject to change between the time you place an order and the time of payment, which could affect the calculation of sales taxes. The amount appearing on your order as sales tax may differ from the sales taxes ultimately charged.
- 5.3 Price Changes. Sonos may change the price for the Subscription, including any Subscription Fees or prices of Products, from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes will automatically take effect at the start of the next billing period following the date of the price change. Subject to applicable law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the Subscription after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with a price change, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing from the Subscription prior to the price change going into effect.
- 5.4 Renewal and Cancellation. YOUR PAYMENT TO SONOS THROUGH WHICH YOU PURCHASED THE SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE END OF THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, UNLESS YOU CANCEL BY EMAILING SUCCESS@SONOS.COM OR THROUGH THE CUSTOMER DASHBOARD, AS APPLICABLE, PRIOR TO THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT TERM. Your termination is only effective upon expiration of the then current Term by Sonos. Any addition or reduction to Sites shall be made in accordance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3, as applicable. You are not entitled to any refunds or credits in connection with any Subscription downgrades, reduction of Sites, or terminations of the Sonos Pro Service, unless otherwise explicitly stated in these General Terms and Conditions.
- 5.5 Term. Unless a different interval is agreed upon as between you and Sonos, the initial duration for the Subscription and billing period shall be for a period of one (1) month for a monthly Subscription and one (1) year for an Annual Subscription following the billing date (“Initial Term”). The monthly Subscription shall auto-renew for subsequent one (1) month terms following the one (1) month anniversary of the billing date and shall auto-renew for subsequent one (1) year terms following the one (1) year anniversary of the applicable Annual Subscription billing date (“Renewal Term”). As it pertains to an Annual Subscription, Sonos will provide you with thirty (30) day advanced notice of an upcoming billing period. Should Customer have a Mixed Subscription Plan and wish to change their Subscription from Annual to monthly, they may elect to opt-out of the auto-renewal of their Annual Subscription prior to the end of the Term. Customer’s Subscription for all Sites shall then convert to a monthly Subscription upon Renewal. For the avoidance of doubt, Mixed Subscription Plan shall be where a Customer possesses an Annual Subscription for one or more Sites and a monthly Subscription for all other Sites. The Initial Term together with the Renewal Term(s) shall constitute the “Term”.
- 5.6 Sonos may terminate the Subscription at any point during the Term, without cause subject to thirty (30) days written notice to Customer.
- 5.7 Sonos may terminate the Subscription at any time with immediate effect and without prior notice to the Customer if:
- 5.7.1 the Customer has failed to pay due installments of the Subscription Fee and/or other sums owed under the Contract or these General Terms and Conditions;
- 5.7.2 the Customer is a legal entity or business person who has signed the Contract in the performance of their commercial or independent professional or business activities, and there is also: an arrears of payments, a moratorium, bankruptcy, liquidation, or winding-up of business, or they are made subject to the rescheduling of debts of natural persons act, or there is a change in control of the legal entity;
- 5.7.3 at the start of, or at any time during, the Subscription Term the Customer has supplied incorrect information;
- 5.7.4 fraud has been committed by Customer or Sonos has a reasonable belief that fraud has been committed by Customer;

- 5.7.7 the Customer uses the Sonos Products or Subscription for improper or illegal purposes
- 5.8 In the event of termination of the Subscription by Sonos upon the occurrence of one or more of the events listed in Section 7 of this Article 5, the Customer’s access to the Subscription may be immediately blocked. Upon a termination of the Subscription pursuant to Section 7 of this Article 5 Sonos further has the right to:
- 5.8.1 suspend Customer’s access to the Music Streaming Service;
- 5.8.2 receive payment of the Subscription Fee due up until and including the month in which the Subscription is terminated, together with all other sums due under the Contract and/or these General Terms and Conditions; and
- 5.8.3 compensation for all losses actually incurred by Sonos.
- 5.9 Following termination of the Contract or a Subscription, the Customer’s access to the Subscription including the Music Streaming Service shall be suspended.
6 TRIALS, SUBSCRIPTION FEES, PAYMENT, ARREARS OF PAYMENT
- 6.1 Trial Periods. From time to time and in Sonos’ sole discretion, we may offer trials of our Subscription plan(s) for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (a “Trial”). You are eligible for a Trial only once. Sonos may determine your eligibility for a Trial, and withdraw or modify a Trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the extent permitted under applicable law. For some Trials, we’ll require you to provide your payment details to start the Trial. By providing such details you agree that we may automatically begin charging you the Subscription Fee for the Subscription plan on the first day following the end of the Trial on a recurring monthly basis or another interval that we disclose to you in advance. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE ON WITH THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FOLLOWING THE TRIAL PERIOD (INCLUDING THE CORRESPONDING SUBSCRIPTION FEE TO BE CHARGED TO YOUR METHOD OF PAYMENT), YOU MUST CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION BEFORE THE END OF THE TRIAL BY EMAILING SUCCESS@SONOS.COM.
- 6.2 Additional Locations (Sites). At any time during the Term, Customer may request to add Sites to their Subscription through the Customer dashboard or by emailing Sonos at success@sonos.com. Sonos shall charge for all additional Sites that Customer adds to their Subscription during the Term. The Subscription Fee will be transferred monthly in advance by means of the payment method provided by Customer at the time of adding additional Site(s) to Customer’s Subscription. Should the additional Site(s) be added to a Customer’s Subscription after the start of the next Renewal Term, the Subscription Fee for the added Site(s) shall be calculated on a pro-rated basis. In the case of an Annual Subscription, Customer may add additional Sites to their annual plan (i) on a monthly basis, or (ii) by providing payment of the Subscription Fee for the months remaining on the then-current Initial or Renewal Term. Upon renewal of the Annual Subscription, Customers who have chosen to pay for additional Sites via monthly payment may combine the added Site(s) into their annual plan, however, failure to combine the added Site(s) upon Renewal shall result in the continuation of the added Site(s) being billed monthly as a separate invoice.
- 6.3 Reducing Locations (Sites). At any time during the Term, Customer may request to reduce the number of Sites included in their Subscription by emailing Sonos at success@sonos.com or through the Customer dashboard. Any reduction to the number of Sites will take effect at the end of the then-current Term at which time you will lose access to your Subscription and/or the Sites which you removed shall no longer receive access to the Sonos Pro Service. Customer’s Subscription shall auto-renew at the lowered Subscription Fee upon Renewal. If Customer has not requested to reduce the number of Sites as instructed herein, the Subscription Fee owed shall be unchanged upon Renewal (subject to the terms in Section 5.3). Customer shall not be entitled to any refund should their actual Subscription usage per Site be less than the purchased amount.
- 6.4 The Customer irrevocably authorizes Sonos or - in the case of an assignment of the right - the party to which the right has been assigned, to obtain payment of all sums owed by the Customer under the Contract by means of direct debit from the account indicated by the Customer or the debiting of their credit card, or other selected payment method which Customer provided to Sonos in the course of signing up for the Subscription.
- 6.5 The Customer remains liable for payments that Sonos has not been able to collect. If the Customer has not paid the Subscription Fee or any other payment even after a payment reminder has been sent, Sonos may first contact the Customer to again request payment and offer the Customer the option to update their personal and/or payment data..
- 6.6 If a payment has not been received by Sonos within two (2) months of the payment date, and Sonos (or third party assigned with the right to collect the payment) has sent the Customer at least one payment reminder, Sonos reserves the right to terminate these General Terms and Conditions and suspend Customer’s access to the Subscription and Music Streaming Service. The Customer shall be liable for all costs thereby incurred by Sonos. Furthermore, in such a case the Customer shall not be entitled to any partial refunds and shall also be responsible for the remainder of the Subscription Fees owed under the current Subscription term.
- 6.7 Sonos reserves the right to assign its rights under the Contract and/or these General Terms and Conditions.
- 6.8 Sonos Backgrounds License Modification. Customers may modify their Sonos licenses during the Term. At any time during the Term, Customer may upgrade their Sonos Backgrounds Essential Service to Sonos Backgrounds Premium Service (“License Upgrade”) during the Term by emailing Sonos at success@sonos.com or through the Customer dashboard. Customer agrees that you will be charged and will pay a pro-rated Subscription Fee for the remaining Term through the payment method provided by Customer at the time of License Upgrade. Account changes for Customers who wish to modify the status of their Subscription from Sonos Backgrounds Premium Service to Sonos Backgrounds Essential Service, however, will be implemented during the following Renewal Term. For the avoidance of doubt, a Subscription modification from Sonos Backgrounds Premium Service to Sonos Backgrounds Essential Service cannot be implemented during the current Subscription Term. Any license modification made by Customer shall apply to all Sites on Customer’s account.
