The App also allows you to share Music projects with other users of the App. You are solely responsible for all your Music from the point of creation and, to the extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability (including liability for copyright infringement) with respect to your Music and the activities of any other users of these.

We cannot be held liable if your Music leaks unintentionally (e.g. if our servers get hacked).
  3. 2.3 Original Creator: You hereby confirm that you are the original composer of Music and any sound files imported by you to the App and/or our systems, or that you have acquired sufficient rights from the original creator(s) to reproduce and use these on and in relation the App. You further confirm that such Music and sound files (including its use by us as contemplated by these Terms) do not violate the Terms, any third party agreement, applicable law or the intellectual property rights of any third party. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless of any loss or damage we suffer as a result of your breach of this clause.
  4. 2.4 Review: You agree and acknowledge that, although we have no obligation to do so, we may in our sole discretion monitor, review or edit Music that we consider inappropriate, that does or might infringe any third party rights or has otherwise been created/uploaded in breach of these Terms or applicable law.
