Terms & conditions

1. Who we are, and what these terms cover

This website, adammusicproject.com, is operated by Astonish Entertainment, LLC ("we", "us", "our"), a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Astonish Entertainment is the label that owns the recordings and compositions of the A.D.A.M. Music Project, also known as the ADAM Music Project and AMP.

A.D.A.M. Music Project is the name of the band. Astonish Entertainment, LLC is the legal entity behind it — the company that holds the rights, signs the agreements and operates this site. These terms are between you and that company.

By visiting this site, you agree to these Terms & Conditions and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site.

2. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "last updated" date at the top. Changes take effect when posted. If you keep using the site after that, you're accepting the updated terms.

3. Using this site

You may browse the site, read the lyrics, watch the videos and share links to any of it. You agree not to:

• use the site for any unlawful purpose, or in any way that could damage or overburden it
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site, its servers, or any connected system
• scrape, harvest or systematically copy content from the site by automated means without our written permission
• upload or transmit malware, or anything designed to interfere with the site's operation
• impersonate us, any member of the project, or any other person.

We may suspend or restrict access to the site, in whole or in part, at any time and without notice.

4. Our content

Except where stated otherwise, everything on this site — the recordings, compositions, lyrics, artwork, photographs, video, logos, page copy and design — is owned by or licensed to Astonish Entertainment, LLC and is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, sell, or make derivative works from our content without our prior written permission, except for:

• personal, non-commercial use
• sharing links to pages on this site
• ordinary quotation and commentary permitted by law, with attribution.

Requests for anything beyond that — including press, sync, and licensing enquiries — go to admin@astonishentertainment.com.

5. Video games, characters and trademarks

This is the clause that matters most for a project like ours, so we'll be direct about it.

The A.D.A.M. Music Project writes original songs inspired by video game characters, worlds and culture. Adam DeGraide has described it as "the ultimate fan art project," and that's exactly what it is.

All video game titles, characters, names, logos and other marks referred to on this site — including but not limited to those associated with Apex Legends, Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokémon, Mega Man, Halo, Fortnite, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, The Last of Us, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Super Smash Bros., Resident Evil, Max Payne, Bayonetta, Destiny, Diablo, World of Warcraft, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, Pitfall!, Punch-Out!!, Duke Nukem, Rampage and Fallout — are the property of their respective owners.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to any video game publisher, developer or rights holder. References to games and characters are our own creative commentary and tribute. All songs, lyrics, recordings and artwork on this site are original works created by us.

If you are a rights holder and you believe something here goes further than you're comfortable with, contact us at admin@astonishentertainment.com and we will respond promptly and in good faith.

6. Music on streaming platforms

Our recordings are distributed through third-party services including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and YouTube Music. Those services are operated by companies other than us, under their own terms and privacy policies. We don't control them, and we're not responsible for their availability, their content, or how they handle your data.

7. Merchandise

Merchandise is sold through our online store at adammusicproject.store, which runs on a third-party e-commerce platform. Purchases, payment, shipping, returns and refunds are governed by the terms and policies published in that store, not by these terms. Product images are representative; colors and finishes may vary.

8. Booking, sync and other enquiries

Forms and email addresses on this site let you contact us about live bookings, sync licensing, press and general questions.

Submitting an enquiry does not create a contract, a booking, a license, or any obligation on our part. Nothing on this site is an offer capable of acceptance. Any engagement — a performance, a sync license, a use of our masters or compositions — is only agreed once both parties have signed a separate written agreement.

Please don't send confidential information through these forms.

9. Anything you send us

If you send us a message, comment, photo, video, recording, idea or other material, you keep whatever rights you already have in it. But you also grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, reproduce, display and share it in connection with the project — for example, reposting fan content on our channels.

You confirm that anything you send is yours to send and doesn't infringe anyone else's rights.

We can't treat unsolicited material as confidential. If you send us a song, a lyric or an idea, we may already be working on something similar, and you agree we owe you nothing if we do.

10. Email and text messages

If you join our mailing list or opt in to text messages, our Privacy Policy explains what you'll receive, how often, and how to stop. In short: reply STOP to any text to unsubscribe, reply HELP for assistance, use the unsubscribe link in any email, or contact us at admin@astonishentertainment.com. Message and data rates may apply.

11. Links to other sites

This site links out to streaming services, our store, ticketing partners, press coverage and social platforms. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, accuracy or practices. A link isn't an endorsement.

12. No warranties

The site is provided "as is" and "as available." We don't promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that the information on it is complete or current — tour dates, prices and release details change. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Astonish Entertainment, LLC and the members and contributors of the A.D.A.M. Music Project will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising out of your use of this site.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you for any claim relating to this site is limited to the amount you have paid us directly through this site in the twelve months before the claim. For almost every visitor that will be nothing, because this site sells nothing directly — merchandise is sold through our store, under its own terms.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Astonish Entertainment, LLC, its members, contractors and the artists appearing on our releases, from any claim arising out of your misuse of this site, your breach of these terms, or your violation of anyone else's rights.

15. Copyright complaints

If you believe material on this site infringes your copyright, send a notice to admin@astonishentertainment.com including: your contact details; identification of the work; the URL of the material; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized; a statement that your notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act; and your signature. We will investigate and, where appropriate, remove the material.

Designated DMCA agent: registering the music's copyright to Astonish Entertainment, LLC is a different thing from registering a DMCA agent. The agent registration is what gives the *website* safe-harbour protection for anything visitors post. Confirm whether one is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office; if so, list the agent's name and address here.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

A note on why Florida and not Delaware. Astonish Entertainment, LLC is formed in Delaware, but Delaware law governs the company's *internal* affairs — members, managers, the operating agreement. It doesn't have to govern a contract with a website visitor. Courts generally uphold a choice-of-law clause where the chosen state has a substantial relationship to the parties, and Florida is where the business actually operates, where the address is, and where the band is. Arbitrating in Delaware would mean nobody involved is anywhere near the forum. Your lawyer may still prefer Delaware for consistency across the company's agreements — this is their call, and it's a one-line change either way.

Arbitration. If a dispute arises between you and us out of or relating to these terms, this site, or our content, and we cannot resolve it informally, it will be settled by binding arbitration rather than in court. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, seated in Duval County, Florida, or conducted remotely by agreement. The arbitrator's decision is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, please email us at admin@astonishentertainment.com describing the dispute. We'll try to resolve it within 30 days. Most things can be sorted out this way.

Small claims. Either of us may still bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies.

Individual basis only. Claims must be brought individually, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective or representative proceeding, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims.

For your lawyer: consider adding a 30-day opt-out window, which strengthens enforceability of consumer arbitration clauses in many jurisdictions; and confirm the class-action waiver language suits Florida practice.

17. Odds and ends

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Our not enforcing a provision isn't a waiver of it. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about your use of this site.
