- Representations: You represent and warrant that the music you submit is your own original creation, that you own all necessary rights (including samples, vocals, and beats), and that it does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party.
4. Storefront, Purchases, & Billing
Product Information: We strive to be as accurate as possible with product descriptions, sizing charts, and apparel imagery. However, we do not warrant that product colors or descriptions are entirely error-free due to display differences.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties
Our Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
