The long version: By playing live or recorded tracks of your copyrighted works (music compositions and/or lyrics) during this webcast session, you grant to the Australian Songwriters Conference a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence for those works to be performed, displayed and recorded in connection with the webcast.
You also grant to users of the Australian Songwriters Conference website a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to access your copyrighted works via video playback of the webcast recording on the website.

INDEMNITY NOTICE
Where you submit your song/s to the Australian Songwriters Conference; your submission of a song (whether lyric, instrumental only, or music and lyrics) for critique by a representative or other contracted professional of the ASC constitutes your agreement to release, indemnify and hold harmless ASC and its owner, employees, attorneys, agents and representatives from and against any claim, including without limitation, of copyright infringement or other misappropriation, arising from any acts or omissions in connection with your submission.
SONG PITCH, SONG CRITIQUE AND LISTENING SESSIONS
Where an ASC session includes song pitching, song critiquing or listening session; songs are heard in order of submission. Unless otherwise stated on the form, submission of a song does not guarantee there will be time during the session for it to be heard. Song registrations are voided if the registrant does not attend the session. Specific to ASC Circle song critiquing sessions, where a registered attendee is present but the session time runs out before their song can be heard, the unheard songs may be placed at the top of that Circle's list for the next available song critiquing session.
