Last updated: April 6, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Melodin AI website, applications, and AI-assisted audio processing services (including stem separation and related features), operated by
Melodin AI, Inc. (“Melodin AI,” “we,” “us”). By creating an account, uploading audio, or otherwise using the service, you agree to these Terms.
1. Nature of the service
Melodin AI provides tools that analyse and separate audio into component stems or layers (for example vocals, drums, bass, and other parts). The service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. We may
modify, suspend, or discontinue features where reasonably necessary, including for legal, security, or operational reasons.
2. AI & output limitations
Stem separation uses machine-learning and signal-processing techniques. Outputs may contain artifacts, inaccuracies, phase issues, residual bleed, timing errors, or incomplete separation. Results depend on the source
material, genre, mix, and processing presets. Melodin AI does not warrant that outputs will be suitable for any particular commercial, broadcast, or mastering use. You are responsible for auditioning results and for any
creative or technical decisions based on them.
3. Intended use & rights-cleared audio
The service is designed primarily for creators who upload audio they own or are fully authorised to use—for example original productions, properly licensed masters, or other material for which you hold all necessary
rights (including reproduction, processing, and creation of derivative works). Typical use cases include preparing your own tracks into stems for remixing, rehearsal, DJ performance rigs, broadcast where permitted, or other workflows you
are legally entitled to pursue.
You must not use Melodin AI to process recordings you do not have the right to upload or separate. That includes, without limitation, commercially released recordings where you lack permission from rightsholders, bootlegs,
leaked material, or any content uploaded in violation of copyright, neighbouring rights, contract, privacy, or other applicable law.
4. Your sole responsibility for uploads
You are solely and exclusively responsible for every file you upload and every instruction you give the service. Melodin AI does not pre-screen uploads for legal compliance. If you upload content without proper rights, or
for an unlawful purpose, that misconduct is entirely your responsibility. You represent and warrant that: (a) you own or have obtained all licences, consents, and permissions required to upload and process the audio; (b)
your use of the service will not infringe any third-party rights; and (c) you will comply with all laws that apply to you (including copyright, personality rights, and data-protection rules where audio contains personal data).
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Melodin AI, its affiliates, directors, employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or
related to your uploads, your use of outputs, or your breach of these Terms, including claims by rightsholders, artists, labels, publishers, or collecting societies.
5. Separated stems & downstream use
Outputs of the service (separated stems, layers, previews, downloads, and any transformed files) are derivative of your source upload. Melodin AI does not grant you any licence to musical compositions,
sound recordings, or performances embodied in your upload beyond what you already hold.
You are solely responsible for any further use of separated audio—including distribution, public performance, synchronisation with video, sampling, training other models, sharing with third parties, or use in DJ sets,
streaming, or social media. If a use requires additional clearances (for example from writers, publishers, performers, or producers), obtaining those clearances is your obligation, not Melodin AI’s.
DJ sets, clubs, festivals, streaming, radio, and other public performances may require separate licences from rights holders and/or performing-rights organisations (PROs), venues, broadcasters,
or platforms—independent of Melodin AI. Using stems in a DJ set or live context does not replace public-performance, mechanical, sync, or neighbouring rights where your jurisdiction or platform requires them.
You must obtain and pay for those licences yourself.
6. Intellectual property
As between you and Melodin AI, you retain ownership of your original uploads (subject to third-party rights). To operate the service, you grant Melodin AI a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, process,
transmit, and display your content solely to provide, secure, and improve the service and to comply with law. We do not claim ownership of your music.
7. DMCA & copyright agent (U.S.)
We respect intellectual property rights and comply with the notice-and-takedown procedures of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, where applicable. If you believe content stored or transmitted
through the service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated copyright agent with the subject line “DMCA Notice”:
Designated Copyright Agent: Melodin AI, Inc.
Email: hello@melodinai.com
A current physical mailing address for DMCA notices may be published on our website or provided on request; U.S. law requires designated-agent registration with the U.S. Copyright Office for certain safe-harbor benefits—verify registration status separately.
Your notice should include, at minimum, the information described in 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):
- A physical or electronic signature of the person authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works);
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (for example URLs, track IDs, or account identifiers);
- Your contact information (address, telephone, email);
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Upon receipt of a valid notice, we may remove or disable access to the material and notify the affected user. If you believe material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send us a
counter-notification that complies with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), including your signature, identification of the removed material and its prior location, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the
material was removed by mistake, your name and contact information, and consent to jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or where your address is, if outside the U.S.). We may restore material in accordance with applicable law
unless the copyright owner seeks a court order.
We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers or who use the service predominantly for infringement. We may also disable access for single serious
violations.
8. EU / UK consumers & withdrawal
If you are a consumer in the European Union, European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, mandatory consumer-protection laws may apply in addition to these Terms, and nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot
legally be waived.
Under the EU/UK consumer rules, you may generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal from certain distance contracts. However, for digital content that is supplied immediately and you
expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal once delivery has begun, that right may not apply. By purchasing credits or starting a paid job that consumes
credits, you request immediate supply of the digital service where our checkout or interface states this, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If you believe you retain a statutory withdrawal or cooling-off right that we have not honoured, contact
hello@melodinai.com. Nothing in this section is intended to circumvent mandatory local rules where they prohibit such a waiver.
9. Accounts, credits & payments
You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account. Paid features and credit packs are billed as described at checkout (including through our payment processor). Fees are generally
non-refundable except where required by law or at our reasonable discretion. Taxes may apply as stated at purchase.
10. Service availability (no SLA)
We aim to keep Melodin AI reliable, but we do not guarantee any particular uptime, throughput, latency, or error-free operation. The service may be unavailable for maintenance, upgrades, security incidents, third-party
outages, or force majeure. There is no service-level agreement (SLA) unless we sign a separate written agreement with you that expressly provides one.
11. Suspension & termination
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account or access to the service at any time, with or without prior notice, for any reason or no reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms, created risk or legal
exposure for us or others, or if we cease offering the service or a feature. We are not liable to you for any suspension or termination. You may stop using the service at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including
intellectual-property, indemnity, limitation of liability, and governing law) will survive termination.
12. Prohibited conduct
You may not: reverse engineer or circumvent security; probe or stress the service without authorisation; upload malware; scrape or resell access; use the service to build a competing dataset of third-party commercial recordings without
rights; or use outputs to mislead as to authorship or to harass others. We may suspend or terminate access for violations (in addition to the general rights in Section 11).
13. Disclaimers & limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and
non-infringement. Melodin AI is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, goodwill, data, or opportunities, arising from your use of uploads, stems, or the
service. Our aggregate liability for any claim relating to the service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to Melodin AI for the service in the twelve (12) months before the claim or (b) fifty U.S. dollars (USD $50),
except where liability cannot be limited by law.
14. General
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, excluding conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence apply. You may bring claims only in your individual capacity, not as
a plaintiff or class member in any class action. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.
