Terms of Service

Metalabel Terms of Service (Date of Last Revision: February 19, 2024)

Welcome to Metalabel’s Terms of Service. When you use Metalabel, you’re agreeing to the rules below. Some of these need to be expressed in legal language, so we’ve done our best to offer clear and simple explanations — written in italics, which are not part of the official legal terms — where the legalese gets a little intimidating and opaque. Thanks for reading.

Acceptance of These Terms of Service

1. Overview: Metalabel, Inc. (“Metalabel,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Company”) provides our services (described below) and related content to you through our website located at https://www. metalabel.com (the “Site”) and related technologies (collectively, the “Service”). All access and use of the Service is subject to the terms and conditions contained in these Terms of Service (as amended from time to time, these “Terms of Service”). By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Site or any other aspect of the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. These Terms of Use apply to all users of the Site or Service, including users who are also contributors of content, information, and other materials or services on the Site. If you do not accept the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service, you will not access, browse, or otherwise use the Service.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service at any time. If we do this, we will post the changes on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these Terms of Service were last revised. You may read a current, effective copy of these Terms of Service by visiting the “Terms of Service” link on the Site. We will also notify you of any material changes, either through the Service user interface, a pop-up notice, email, or through other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Service after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service. You should periodically visit this page to review the current Terms of Service so you are aware of any revisions. If you do not agree to abide by these or any future Terms of Service, you will not access, browse, or use (or continue to access, browse, or use) the Service.

Our lawyers made this part bold and all-caps to make sure you really notice it. It says that disputes with Metalabel will be settled through arbitration rather than a classic action lawsuit.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY, AS THEY CONTAIN AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES, AND OBLIGATIONS. THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE REQUIRES (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) THAT YOU SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION, AND FURTHER (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST METALABEL ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, (2) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO SEEK RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND (3) YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US RESOLVED BY A JURY OR IN A COURT OF LAW.

BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES IN ANY WAY (E.G., BY CLICKING ON THE “I ACCEPT” BUTTON, COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, MAKING INVENTORY AVAILABLE ON THE SERVICES AND/OR BROWSING THE WEBSITE) YOU REPRESENT THAT (1) YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF SERVICE, (2) YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH METALABEL, AND (3) YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THE TERMS OF SERVICE PERSONALLY OR ON BEHALF OF ENTITY YOU HAVE NAMED AS THE USER, AND TO BIND THAT ENTITY TO THE TERMS OF SERVICE. THE TERM “YOU” REFERS TO YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND ANY LEGAL ENTITY THAT YOU HAVE NAMED AS A USER AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION FOR THE SERVICES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE ANY OF THE SERVICES.

1.1 Your Privacy: At Metalabel, we respect the privacy of our users. For more information please see our Privacy Policy, located at https://www.metalabel.com/privacy-policy (the “Privacy Policy”).

The following are examples of the kinds of content and/or uses that are illegal or prohibited by Metalabel.

Metalabel may temporarily withhold any portion of funds pending settlement to user (as reflected in the user’s account) if Metalabel in its sole discretion, determines such action is necessary to secure payment for, performance of, and/or assurances regarding any liabilities, obligations, or indebtedness user may have incurred with Metalabel or any user.

3.3 Listing and Purchasing Products

Creators are responsible for the promises made in their releases and for their fulfilment. Transactions are between creator and collector, and Metalabel does not offer refunds. This is what you’re agreeing to when you post or purchase work on Metalabel.

Risks; No Warranty. You assume certain risks in using the Service. Users as a buyer and/or seller acknowledge and agree that you bear all of the risks in selling and/or buying any product through the Service. Users contract directly with each other for the purchase of any product through the Service. Metalabel does not make any representations or warranties regarding such products offered or sold through the Service.
Delivery of Digital and Physical Products. You may upload a digital file (“Digital Product”) and/or a listing of a physical product (“Physical Product”) to the Service and determine a retail price for those products. Upon purchase of the Digital Product, Metalabel will promptly facilitate the delivery of the Digital Product. Metalabel does not ship, handle or take custody of Physical Products at any point.

3.4 Fees:

We charge a 10% commission on each purchase, in addition to credit card processing fees.

To purchase goods, products, and/or services on Metalabel, you will be required to use a credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant to Metalabel that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with Stripe (as defined below), as applicable, of any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. When you sell a creative work using the Service, Metalabel will take a percentage of the purchase price as a fee for providing its Service in accordance with these Terms of Service. Our payment partners also collect fees, which may vary based on your location. If Metalabel’s fees change, Metalabel will notify you on our site at least thirty (30) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the fee change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to the changed fees. You will be responsible for all taxes associated with the Service, other than taxes based on Company’s net income.

3.5 Refund Policy: All purchases through the Service are final. Metalabel has no obligation to provide refunds but, in its sole discretion, may grant them in circumstances of fraud, or to correct any errors made by Metalabel or users, or where the work violates the Terms of Service.

3.6 Payment Processing: Notwithstanding any amounts owed to Company hereunder, COMPANY DOES NOT PROCESS PAYMENT FOR ANY SERVICES. To facilitate payment for the Service via bank account, credit card, debit card, and other supported payment methods, we use Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates (“Stripe”), a third-party payment processor. These payment processing services are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe terms and conditions and other policies available at https://stripe.com/legal and Stripe’s Global Privacy Policy available at: https://stripe.com/privacy (collectively, the “Stripe Agreements”). By agreeing to these Terms of Service, users that use the payment functions of the Service also agree to be bound by the Stripe Agreements, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. You hereby authorize Stripe to store and continue billing your specified payment method even after such payment method has expired, to avoid interruptions in payment for your use of the Service. Please contact Stripe for more information. Company assumes no liability or responsibility for any payments you make through the Service.

3.7 Compliance with Tax Law:

When using the Service, you agree that you will comply with all relevant tax laws and regulations. In particular, and without limitation, you agree that you will comply with all laws relating to the administration, collection, reporting and remittance of tax. Metalabel is responsible for calculating, collecting, and remitting sales taxes (including VAT, US state sales tax, GST, or other sales taxes as applicable) for certain transactions in the following countries (https://stripe.com/global) and the U.S., based on the relevant territory’s tax rules for Digital and Physical Products. Metalabel automatically determines the user’s location and, when appropriate, adds the proper amount of tax to the transaction, which will be noted in the transaction receipts. You agree to provide to us, on request, any information and evidence (including official receipts) which Metalabel may reasonably request to demonstrate that you have complied with tax laws, including in connection with any request for information which Metalabel may receive from any tax authority.

If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, you should notify Metalabel of your infringement claim in accordance with the procedure set forth below.

Metalabel will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable intellectual property laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement. A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be emailed to Metalabel’s Copyright Agent at info@metalabel.com (Subject line: “DMCA Takedown Request”).

identification of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works or other intellectual property are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works or other intellectual property;
identification of the content that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and where the content that you claim is infringing is located on the Service, with enough detail that we may find it on the Service;
your address, telephone number, and email address;
a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law; and
a statement by you that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of the copyright or intellectual property that is allegedly infringed.

4.6 Counter-Notice: If you believe that your User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the content in your User Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

your physical or electronic signature;
identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content to be removed or disabled; and
your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located within the Southern District of New York and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Metalabel will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing them that Metalabel may replace the removed content or cease disabling it within ten (10) business days. Unless the owner of the applicable copyrighted work or other intellectual property files an action seeking a court order against Metalabel or the user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

4.7 Repeat Infringer Policy: In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Metalabel has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at Metalabel’s sole discretion, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. Metalabel may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Service and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

5. Third-Party Services and Websites

Metalabel pages will sometimes link to other sites. We are not responsible for what happens on those sites.

The Service may provide links or other access to services, sites, technology, and resources that are provided or otherwise made available by third parties (the “Third-Party Services”). Your access and use of the Third-Party Services may also be subject to additional terms and conditions, privacy policies, or other agreements with such third party, and you may be required to authenticate to or create separate accounts to use Third-Party Services on the websites or via the technology platforms of their respective providers. Some Third-Party Services will provide us with access to certain information that you have provided to third parties, including through such Third-Party Services, and we will use, store and disclose such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For more information about the implications of activating Third-Party Services and our use, storage and disclosure of information related to you and your use of such Third-Party Services within the Service, please see our Privacy Policy.

To the extent permitted under applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Metalabel, its affiliates, and its and their respective officers, employees, directors, service providers, licensors, and agents (collectively, the “Metalabel Parties”) from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind, and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, any User Content, your connection to the Service, your violation of these Terms of Service, or your violation of any rights of another. Metalabel will provide notice to you of any such claim, suit, or proceeding. Metalabel reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this section, and you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting Metalabel’s defense of such matter. You may not settle or compromise any claim against the Metalabel Parties without Metalabel’s written consent.

9. Release
METALABEL EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN THE USERS OF THE SERVICE. THE SERVICE IS ONLY A VENUE FOR CONNECTING USERS AS A BUYER AND/OR SELLER. BECAUSE METALABEL IS NOT A PARTY TO THE ACTUAL CONTRACTS BETWEEN USERS, IN THE EVENT THAT YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH ONE OR MORE USERS, YOU RELEASE METALABEL, ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATED, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, INVESTORS, AGENTS, PARTNERS, AND LICENSORS, BUT EXCLUDING ANY USERS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, OR DAMAGES (ACTUAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL) OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES.

10. Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration:

This says that if there is a dispute between Metalabel and a user, it will be determined through arbitration rather than a class action lawsuit.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Agreement to Arbitrate
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Metalabel, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Service, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Metalabel are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND METALABEL AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND METALABEL AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Metalabel is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at info@metalabel.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Metalabel should be sent to 99 Canal Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10003 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Metalabel and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Metalabel may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Metalabel or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Metalabel is entitled.
Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, https://www.adr.org/consumer. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Unless Metalabel and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Metalabel agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. To the extent any Arbitration Fees are not specifically allocated to either Metalabel or you under the AAA Rules, Metalabel and you shall split them equally; provided that if you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of such Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of any Arbitration Fees, Metalabel will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Metalabel will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms of Service will continue to apply.
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, Metalabel agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Service, you may reject any such change by sending Metalabel written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).

11. Termination:

If you violate our rules or the spirit of them, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account. We don’t want to do that, so just be cool and follow the rules, okay?

You agree that Metalabel, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including for lack of use or if Metalabel believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Metalabel may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Metalabel may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Metalabel will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.

12. User Disputes: You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Service, and Metalabel will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Metalabel reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Service.

13. General:

To operate, we need to be able to maintain control over what happens on our website. We don’t take these powers lightly, and we only use them when we absolutely have to.

These Terms of Service (together with the terms incorporated by reference herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and Metalabel governing your access and use of the Service, and supersede any prior agreements between you and Metalabel with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use Third-Party Services, third-party content or third-party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Metalabel submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within New York County, New York. The failure of Metalabel to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of these Terms of Service and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Service to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Metalabel, but Metalabel may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. As used in these Terms of Service, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service. Metalabel will not be in default hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations where such failure or delay is due to civil disturbances, riot, epidemic, hostilities, war, terrorist attack, embargo, natural disaster, acts of God, flood, fire, sabotage, fluctuations or unavailability of electrical power, network access or equipment, or any other circumstances or causes beyond Metalabel’s reasonable control.
