However: (a) the LOEL does not itself permit the adaptation of musical works to create mixes; (b) the LOEL does not apply to all musical works; and (c) the LOEL does not apply to artwork, and accordingly it is your responsibility to ensure that you have all necessary permissions and rights to create the mixes that you submit to the website, and that you submit mixes incorporating only musical works in which are covered by the LOEL (or in which you have control of the relevant electronic exploitation rights), and that you only submit graphic works in which have control of the relevant rights. Save to the extent that we are otherwise licensed under the MCPS-PRS LOEL to do these things, you grant to us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to: (a) copy, store and stream mixes that you submit to our website; (b) copy, store and publish artwork that you submit to our website; and (c) copy, store, publish and adapt any other material that you submit to our website, in each case on our website at www.mixtapepage.com and any successor website. To the extent that you are the owner of these rights, you also grant to us the right to sub-license these rights, and the right to bring an action for infringement of these rights. You further warrant and represent that all mixes, artwork and other material that you submit to the website will comply with the provisions of Sections 3 and 8 and will be suitable for distribution via the website, and that all mixes that you submit to the website will be of reasonable sound quality.

You hereby expressly agree that we may begin such preparations within such period, and may upload mixes within such period, notwithstanding any effect this may have on your consumer cancellation rights. If you cancel an agreement in accordance with this provision, you will receive a full refund of the price paid. We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we received your valid notice of cancellation.
