ArrangeMe Terms of Use

(Updated November 18, 2024)

THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CREATE A LEGAL AGREEMENT (THIS "AGREEMENT") BETWEEN HAL LEONARD LLC ("HAL LEONARD" OR "WE" OR "US" OR "OUR"), SELLERS OF TITLES ON THE ARRANGEME SERVICE (EACH A "SELLER" OR "YOU" OR "YOUR"), RETAIL PARTNERS DISTRIBUTING TITLES (EACH A "RETAILER"), AND USERS OF TITLES OR SUBSCRIBERS GIVEN ACCESS TO TITLES THROUGH A RETAILER (EACH A "USER").

This Agreement, combined with the ArrangeMe Privacy Policy (the "Privacy Policy"), which is hereby incorporated into this Agreement, governs your use of the ArrangeMe services, features and information, which offers a platform for Sellers to offer for sale Original Compositions (as defined below), PDArrangements (as defined below) and COArrangements (as defined below, and collectively with Original Compositions, PDArrangements and COArrangements, and all associated content such as the song title, cover art, product descriptions, classification data, tablature and other music types, "Titles"), recorded audio demonstrations of Titles ("Sound Recordings"), along with associated and successor websites, applications, features, information, and services, or any part thereof (the "Service"). Titles may be sold in PDF or similar format or as Interactive Titles (as defined below).

By using or accessing the Service, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, or you are below the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you are located, you are not permitted to use the Service or to register another person to use the Service. Hal Leonard is not liable for the use of the Service by, or for any content or advertisements viewed by, minor children in violation of this Agreement.

The Service.
The Service is a platform that allows Sellers to offer, sell and distribute Titles and Sound Recordings through Retailers through various business models, including as a permanent download, a digital print, or as part of a subscription service. A subscription service is a business model in which a User pays a fee on a regular basis in order to view an image of the Titles (“View”) on a digital device but shall not allow Titles to be downloaded or printed as part of the subscription (“Subscription Service”). A permanent download is an electronic transmission of a Title which results in a copy of the Title on a User’s personal storage device, where such Title is available to View at any time (“Permanent Download”). A digital print is an electronic transmission of a Title to a User that allows the User to print the number of physical copies purchased of the Title using a personal printer (“Digital Print”).

The actual contract for sale or distribution is directly between the Retailer and User; Hal Leonard is merely a passive intermediary to distribute Titles and Sound Recordings to Retailers. Hal Leonard has no control over and does not guarantee, and expressly disclaims to the extent permitted by applicable law: the truth or accuracy of the content or listings of any Seller; the ability of Sellers to sell and distribute Titles and Sound Recordings; that any Title will not infringe the rights (including intellectual property rights of any kind) of any third party; or that a User or Seller will actually complete a transaction.
Sellers' Rights and Obligations.
Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that once a Title or Sound Recording is uploaded to the Service and purchased by a User through the Service, Seller may not revoke the licenses granted to User through the Service after the completion of such sale, unless the User violates the express license granted under this Agreement.
1. License Grant.
  1. Seller grants to Hal Leonard and its Retailers a non-exclusive, non-transferable, irrevocable, limited license to store and distribute each of Seller's Titles and Sound Recordings through the Service and, at the option of such Seller, to store Seller's Original Compositions in its database of songs (the "Song Catalog") and to offer such Original Compositions to other Sellers to create COArrangements thereof.
  2. If sold or distributed as an Interactive Title, Seller also grants to Hal Leonard and its Retailers a non-exclusive, non-transferable, irrevocable, limited license to store Seller's Original Compositions in its database of songs (the "Song Catalog") and to offer such Original Compositions to other Sellers to create COArrangements thereof, and, if distributed as an Interactive Title, to reformat, transpose, and edit copies of the Titles for that number of performers that corresponds to the Price (as defined below) paid by User for the particular Title.
  3. Sound Recordings.
    Certain Titles may include Sound Recordings which are provided to Users for reference purposes and/or backing tracks only. Sellers who include Sound Recordings along with Titles hereby grants to Hal Leonard and its Retailers a non-exclusive right to market and sell licenses to Sound Recordings in MP3 or WAV format. For Sound Recordings intended to be used by Users as backing tracks, Sellers hereby grant to Users a non-exclusive right to publicly perform such Sound Recordings as backing tracks to the particular Title associated with such Sound Recording. Users who purchase licenses to Titles with Sound Recordings will have unlimited access to play the Sound Recordings and have the non-exclusive right to download and retain Sound Recordings on their devices and/or other media storage. If a Sound Recording is removed from the site it will no longer be for sale; however, Users who have previously purchased the Sound Recording will still have access to play, download, and retain Sound Recordings on their devices and/or other media storage. However, unless otherwise expressly stated, such license does not grant the User a mechanical, synchronization or master use license to such Sound Recording. In other words, the license granted by Hal Leonard and its Retailers to a Sound Recording is limited only to non-public use of the Sound Recording for reference purposes or, if indicated at the time of purchase, to publicly perform the Sound Recording as a backing track to the corresponding Title. A User is solely responsible for securing any other public performance, mechanical, master use or synchronization license from the appropriate rights holder in connection with a Sound Recording and Hal Leonard and its Retailers make no representation or warranty with respect to the availability or feasibility of securing such additional licenses to any Sound Recording.
2. Original Compositions.
  Each Seller represents and warrants that (a) any Title that consists of a piece presented by Seller as originally composed by such Seller in its entirety (an "Original Composition") is such Seller's own, original work, (b) Seller has the right to upload, sell and distribute the Original Composition through the Service; (c) other than a joint owner, no third party has any rights of ownership over such Original Composition that would prevent Seller from uploading and selling the Original Composition through the Service; and (d) the sale of such Original Composition by such Seller to a User through the Service, the use of such Original Composition by User as contemplated in this Agreement and the inclusion by Hal Leonard or any Retailer of such Original Composition in the Song Catalog will not infringe the rights (including intellectual property rights of any kind) of any third party. For clarification, if an Original Composition is jointly owned, the Seller that uploads the Original Composition to the Service is responsible for ensuring that Seller has the right to upload and offer for sale the Original Composition and is solely responsible for distributing any royalties, commissions or payments earned through the Service to any other joint owner of the Original Composition.
3. Arrangements.
  1. Each Seller represents and warrants that (i) any Title that consists of an arrangement (a "PDArrangement") of a pre-existing work that exists in the public domain (a "Public Domain Work") is such Seller's own, original work (except for the portion of such PDArrangement that was derived from the Public Domain Work), (ii) the Public Domain Work was validly in the public domain and no third party had any right of ownership over such Public Domain Work prior to Seller's creation of the PDArrangement, (iii) no third party has any rights of ownership over such PDArrangement and (iv) the sale of such PDArrangement by such Seller to a User through the Service, the use of such PDArrangement by User as contemplated in this Agreement and the inclusion by Hal Leonard or any Retailer of such PDArrangement in the Song Catalog will not infringe the rights (including intellectual property rights of any kind) of any third party.
  2. Each Seller represents and warrants that any Title or Sound Recording that consists of an arrangement of a Copyrighted Work ("COArrangement") is and shall be, from the inception of the creation thereof, a work-made-for-hire within the meaning of the United States Copyright Act. Accordingly, the copyright owner(s) of the Copyrighted Work ("Copyright Owner") shall exclusively own and/or control all right, title and interest in and to such COArrangement, including, without limitation, the copyright therein and any extensions and renewals throughout the world for the duration thereof. A COArrangement (i) can only exist as a standalone title and no medleys, mashups, or collections are allowed, (ii) is subject to usage limitations and may not be sold, leased, lent, rented, or otherwise distributed for explicit use by a professional symphony or string orchestra, professional concert or wind band, professional small ensembles, nor exclusive competitive use (including but not limited to show choir, marching band, percussion ensembles), and (iii) must be made available for public distribution and sale. In addition, Sellers will not use the Service for the distribution and sale of custom arrangements for ensembles of any size intended for the exclusive use of the commissioning ensemble, i.e., Seller will not remove a COArrangement shortly after purchase by the commissioning ensemble, and Sellers do not have the right to create a physical print version of a COArrangement for sale or distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, COArrangements specifically intended for exclusive competitive use are not permitted. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, a COArrangement with medleys and mashups are allowed for ArrangeMe Pro members.
  3. Each Seller represents and warrants that (i) any Title that consists of a COArrangement or PDArrangement (collectively "Arrangements") is such Seller’s own, original work (except for the portion of such COArrangement that was derived from the Copyrighted Work or is jointly owned), (ii) no third party has any rights of ownership over such COArrangement (except for the rights of the Copyright Owner or joint owner), and (iii) the sale of such COArrangement by such Seller to a User through the Service, the use of such COArrangement by User as contemplated in this Agreement and the inclusion by Hal Leonard or any Retailer of such COArrangement in the Song Catalog will not infringe the rights (including intellectual property rights of any kind) of any third party. To the extent available through the Song Catalog, the Seller shall obtain any Copyrighted Work to be arranged into a COArrangement through the Service’s Song Catalog and arrange such Copyrighted Work only to the extent it has been designated by Hal Leonard as being available to arrange into a commercially exploitable COArrangement. No Seller shall arrange any Copyrighted Work into a COArrangement unless the Copyrighted Work already exists in the Song Catalog.
  4. Each Seller represents and warrants that any Arrangement includes such Seller's own creative elements which make it unique from the Copyrighted Work or the Public Domain Work (as applicable) and that such Seller did not copy another Arrangement.
  5. No Seller shall offer any Arrangement through the Service other than in accordance with Section 2.3(a), (b), (c), and (d). Each Seller acknowledges that the Copyright Owner has the authority, at its total discretion, to require Hal Leonard to remove such Seller's COArrangement from the Service and any other affiliated websites. In addition, any Arrangement sold through the Service is at Seller's own risk and may be subject to removal at any time. Hal Leonard shall have the right to immediately suspend any Seller who violates the above conditions and/or submits any Title or Sound Recording that is not his/her original work to the Service.
  6. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Hal Leonard and its Retailers hereby disclaim any and all liability and shall not be held responsible for the infringement of any rights (including intellectual property rights of any kind) of any third party, including any violation of the United States Copyright Act of 1976, as amended (the "Copyright Act), by Seller in the creation and distribution of any Title (including any COArrangement) through the Service. Hal Leonard may, in its sole discretion and in accordance with Section 7.2, remove or prevent the future sale of any Arrangement at any time for any reason.
4. Interactive Titles.
  Sellers may choose to sell and distribute Titles in an interactive format ("Interactive Titles").
5. Digital Rights Management.
  Hal Leonard provides no digital rights management protection (DRM) for PDF files of Titles, Interactive Titles, nor Sound Recordings. PDF files of Titles sold by Hal Leonard are protected with a watermark that shows date of purchase, order and customer information, including number of purchased copies as a deterrent against unlawful reproduction or duplication. You agree that this provides adequate protection against unlawful distribution of the Titles and Sound Recordings.
6. Previews.
  Retailers may include previews of Seller's Titles that he or she lists for sale through the Service. Previews of Original Compositions or PDArrangements may include the entirety of the applicable Title ("Full Preview") or a shortened preview consisting of 1 or more pages for PDF Titles, or the lesser of 32-measures or half of applicable Titles for Interactive Titles ("Short Preview"). COArrangements may only use a Short Preview.
7. Age of Majority.
  Each Seller represents and warrants that he or she is at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which he or she is located.
8. Non-Exclusivity; Ownership.
  Subject to the license rights granted to Hal Leonard, its Retailers and Users in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, for Titles that are Original Compositions or PDArrangements, the Service is a non-exclusive marketplace and the Seller retains Seller's rights to such Original Composition or PDArrangement. This means that each Seller may also sell and distribute his or her Original Compositions or PDArrangements on any other platform or in print. However, for any Title that is a COArrangement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Seller acquires no ownership rights in such COArrangement and Seller may only sell and distribute a COArrangement through the Service. With respect to COArrangements, Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that Seller's rights to such COArrangement are subject to the rights of the Copyright Owner.
9. Marketing by Seller.
  Hal Leonard encourages Sellers to market their Titles and Sound Recordings on third-party websites, including social media. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any posts marketing Titles and Sound Recordings on any third-party website are subject to the terms of service applicable to such third-party website and (ii) Hal Leonard is not responsible for the content or practices of any such third-party website.

For the avoidance of doubt, no User hereunder is granted any additional performance, mechanical, master use nor synchronization rights hereby other than as expressly provided in this Agreement. Except for the express rights granted under this Agreement, Seller is solely responsible for securing any other rights from the respective rights holder for mechanical, master use and synchronization rights.

ArrangeMe Pro Membership
ArrangeMe Pro is a subscription service offered by ArrangeMe that provides Sellers additional features in the Service. Annual subscriptions will automatically renew each year unless and until Seller cancels such subscription or ArrangeMe or Hal Leonard terminate it. Seller must have Internet access and provide a current, valid, accepted method of payment to use the ArrangeMe Pro service. The annual subscription fee will be billed to Seller’s Payment Method. Seller must cancel Seller’s membership before it renews annually to avoid billing of the next year’s subscription fees to Seller’s Payment Method. Current ArrangeMe Pro Membership benefits and features are available on the Subscription Signup page located at the Seller’s existing account dashboard or at https://www.arrangeme.com/pro.
1. ArrangeMe Pro Billing.
  1. Recurring Billing.
    By starting Seller’s ArrangeMe Pro subscription and providing or designating a Payment Method, Seller authorizes us to charge Seller an annual subscription fee at the then current rate, and any other charges Seller may incur in connection with Seller’s use of the ArrangeMe Pro service to Seller’s Payment Method. Seller acknowledges that the amount billed annually may vary for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional offers, including promotional code redemption, and/or changing Seller’s subscription, and Seller authorizes us to charge Seller’s Payment Method for such varying amounts.
  2. Price Changes.
    We reserve the right to adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes to Seller’s service will take effect following email notice to you.
  3. Billing Cycle.
    The subscription fee for the ArrangeMe Pro service will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of Seller’s subscription and each year thereafter unless and until Seller cancels Seller’s subscription. Subscription fees are fully earned upon payment. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below, if Seller’s Payment Method has not successfully settled. Seller’s renewal date may change due to changes in Seller’s subscription. Visit the Account/Subscription page in your ArrangeMe dashboard to see the commencement date for Seller’s next renewal period. As used in these Terms of Use, "billing" shall indicate a charge, debit, or other payment clearance, as applicable, against Seller’s Payment Method. Unless otherwise stated differently, year or annually refers to Seller’s billing cycle.
  4. Cancellation and Refunds.
    PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-YEAR SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS. Seller’s annual ArrangeMe Pro subscription at any time, and Seller will continue to have access to the ArrangeMe Pro service through the end of Seller’s yearly billing period. To cancel, log in to your ArrangeMe account, go to the Account/Subscription section, and follow the instructions for cancellation. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our subscribers ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle Seller to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.
  5. Payment Methods.
    If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, we will send Seller an email notification asking Seller to update Seller’s Payment Method. Upon doing so, Seller remains responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorizes us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to Seller’s payment billing dates. For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of Seller’s Payment Method may charge Seller a foreign transaction fee or other charges. Check with Seller’s Payment Method service provider for details. If we are not able to successfully bill Seller’s card, we will immediately terminate Seller’s ArrangeMe Pro subscription.

Governing Law/Waiver of Injunctive Relief.
1. This Agreement and all aspects of the Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the U.S. and the State of Wisconsin governing contracts entered into and to be fully performed in Wisconsin (thus, without regard to conflict of laws provisions) regardless of your location. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state or federal courts located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
2. You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made hereunder to Hal Leonard are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which will irreparably harm Hal Leonard and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone, so that Hal Leonard will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages (if any).
3. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement ("Dispute"), you and Hal Leonard agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other. You will send your notice to support@arrangeme.com.
4. Mandatory Arbitration.
  If you and Hal Leonard are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations within thirty (30) days, either you or Hal Leonard may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the "Rules") of JAMS, which is available at the JAMS website. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.
5. Notwithstanding the above, you and Hal Leonard agree that arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between Hal Leonard and you individually. To the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration will be joined with any other; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
6. You and Hal Leonard agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Hal Leonard's intellectual property rights; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief or to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
Waiver/Severability.
1. The failure of Hal Leonard to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right under any provision of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Hal Leonard's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance.
2. You and Hal Leonard agree that if any portion of this Agreement, except any portion of Section 18.4, is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which will continue to be in full force and effect. If Section 18.4 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither you nor Hal Leonard will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of Section 18.4 found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and you and Hal Leonard agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Term and Termination.
This Agreement will remain in effect as long as your account is up-to-date and you remain in compliance with the terms hereof, unless it has been voluntarily suspended or terminated by you or Hal Leonard. You may terminate this Agreement by destroying all Service-related materials obtained from the Service. The privileges granted to you under this Agreement will terminate immediately and automatically without notice from Hal Leonard if, in our sole discretion, you fail to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement or for any reason in Hal Leonard's sole discretion. Following the termination of this Agreement, your account(s) or the Service, Hal Leonard shall retain all rights to the Submissions pursuant to this Agreement.
