Terms of Service

Melodin AI, Inc. · Last updated: April 6, 2026

Last updated: September 8, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Melodin AI website, applications, and related services—including artist pages, listening and discovery features, Stream Time, Studio / AI create tools, and AI-assisted audio processing (such as stem separation)—operated by Melodin AI, Inc. (“Melodin AI,” “we,” “us”). By creating an account, uploading audio, following artists, purchasing Stream Time or credits, or otherwise using the service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Nature of the service

Melodin AI provides a music platform for listeners and artists: discovering and following public artist pages, streaming releases, managing an artist profile and catalog, using Studio / Generate tools where available, and analysing or separating audio into component stems or layers. 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 and other AI-assisted audio tools use 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. Generated or edited audio from Studio tools may similarly contain errors or unexpected results. 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, public performance on the platform where applicable, and creation of derivative works). Typical use cases include publishing your own tracks on an artist page, preparing stems for remixing, rehearsal, or other workflows you are legally entitled to pursue.

You must not use Melodin AI to process or publish recordings you do not have the right to upload, stream, 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, process, and (where applicable) publicly stream 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, Studio exports, previews, downloads, and any transformed files) are derivative of your source upload or generation request. 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 or generated 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 (including streaming your public artist releases to listeners) 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):

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 Stream Time, stem 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, Stream Time, credits & payments

You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account. Stream Time packs, stem credits, and other paid features are billed as described at checkout (including through our payment processor). Listening on the platform may consume Stream Time; artists may receive earnings credits from paid listens as described in-product. Free promotional Stream Time (including welcome grants) does not create payable artist earnings. Artist payouts, where offered, are processed through Stripe Connect subject to Stripe’s terms and our minimum payout thresholds. Fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law or at our reasonable discretion. Taxes may apply as stated at purchase. There is no recurring subscription unless we clearly offer and you accept one.

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, streams, 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.
