The phling! service is a community-based mobile music service that Oxy Systems develops, markets and operates. To reach the largest market effectively, Oxy partners in certain markets with mobile wireless network operators. Using phling!, users are connected to all the music, podcasts, and pictures stored on their PCs, to friends and to everyone in the phling! community, all from the mobile phone. Users use the mobile phone to listen to their music anywhere, anytime without having to first synchronize with their PC. Users can read and submit song reviews, find out who is listening to what, browse user profiles, and stay in touch by posting messages to friends’ bulletin boards. Through the phling! service, users are able to discover new music through the community. Oxy Systems operates the Oxy Products as services that users may pay for on a subscription or per-use basis.
Oxy Systems respects copyright and other laws and we require that all of our users agree that they will not use the Oxy Products to infringe the intellectual property or other rights of others.
To enhance the music discovery process for phling! users, Oxy Systems has created the Mobile Music Promotion Program as a collaboration of Oxy Systems with owners of music content. The Mobile Music Promotion Program enables users to find and listen to a range of music that artists, musicians, record companies and other content owners make available to them through the phling! service. For the content owners, the Program is an opportunity to reach a mobile music community, to promote their music, and to get feedback from that community.
For Oxy Systems to be able to operate the Mobile Music Promotion Program, Oxy Systems must be authorized by the content owners through license of copyrighted works. For example, a license to modify such content is required to transcode music files to a format that can be played on a mobile handset. A license to publicly perform such content is required for us to allow users to listen to that music. The attached agreement includes the license, terms and conditions required for the Mobile Music Promotion Program.
The Mobile Music Promotion Program provides for listening by the user on the mobile handset of the content posted by content owners. No permanent copies of the music are made on the handset. There are no additional charges to the user for listening to this content.
In the future, Oxy Systems may offer the user the ability to download and make a copy of the content on the user’s PC and/or the mobile handset. Your content would be available for such download only with your authorization.
In the future, Oxy Systems may implement a feature that would allow users to purchase content in the Mobile Music Promotion Program. This agreement does not authorize Oxy Systems to sell your content and Oxy Systems will not do so in the future without your express permission and authorization. The terms and conditions including financial terms would be included in such future agreement.

No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import.
