Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Treble (the "Service", "we", "us", "our"), operated by Treble, located at Wyoming, United States. By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you ("you", "User") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1.Eligibility & Account

You must be at least 16 years old (or the higher age required by your jurisdiction) to use the Service. If you are between 13 and 16, you may use the Service only with verifiable parental or guardian consent and where permitted by law. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

You are responsible for: (a) providing accurate information when registering; (b) maintaining the confidentiality of your password; (c) all activity occurring under your account. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. We are not liable for losses caused by unauthorized account use that you fail to report.

2.The Service

The Service allows artists to (i) upload audio recordings, (ii) share public links so audiences can listen and rate the recordings, and (iii) view structured analytics about ratings, intent, listening behavior and demographics. Voter participation is anonymous; deduplication is performed via IP address, browser fingerprint, and cookie. The Service does not constitute a record label, distribution platform, royalty agent, or publishing service.

3.Your Content

"User Content" means any audio, text, images, metadata or other materials you upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available through the Service.

You retain all ownership rights in your User Content. We do not claim ownership of your songs. By uploading, you represent and warrant that:

• you own or control all rights in the User Content, or you have obtained all necessary permissions, licenses, releases, consents and clearances from any rights holders (including, where applicable, co-writers, performers, producers, sample owners, sound recording owners, publishers, labels and any unions or guilds);
• your User Content does not infringe any third-party copyright, trademark, right of publicity, privacy or any other intellectual property right;
• your User Content complies with these Terms and all applicable laws;
• you have the right to grant the licenses described in Section 4 below.

4.License you grant us

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, stream, publicly perform (only as part of the rating flow you authorize), display, transcode and create derivative works of your User Content solely for the purpose of operating, providing, securing and improving the Service. This license terminates when you delete the User Content or close your account, except that we may retain copies as required by law and in backup systems for a reasonable period.

You also grant us the right to use your User Content for internal analytics, abuse detection, fraud prevention, and aggregated/anonymized statistics that do not personally identify you or any voter.

5.Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• upload content you do not have the right to distribute, including songs containing uncleared samples, unlicensed beats, copyrighted lyrics, or any content infringing third-party rights;
• upload content that is illegal, defamatory, obscene, hateful, or violates the privacy of others;
• impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
• send spam, attempt phishing, scrape data, or use automated tools to inflate vote counts or manipulate results;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to extract source code, audio, or data beyond what the Service exposes to legitimate users;
• circumvent rate limits, anti-fraud mechanisms, or security controls;
• use the Service to compete with us or to develop a competing product;
• upload malware or content harmful to systems or networks.

We may, at our discretion, investigate any suspected violation, suspend or terminate accounts, remove content, and cooperate with law enforcement.

6.Voter participation

Voters access shared links anonymously and provide ratings and minimal demographic information (age range, gender selection). Voters do not create accounts. Vote integrity is enforced through technical deduplication; we may collect IP address, approximate country, and a browser fingerprint solely for that purpose. By visiting a public song link, voters agree to our Privacy Policy.

7.DMCA & copyright

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, see our Copyright Policy for instructions on filing a DMCA takedown notice. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.

8.Fees, beta & refunds

The Service is currently in beta and offered free of charge. We may, on prior notice, introduce paid features or plans. Pricing, features, and free quotas may change with reasonable notice (at least 30 days for material changes affecting paid users). Beta features are provided "as is" and may be discontinued without liability.

If we charge fees in the future, refund policies for those fees will be set out in the applicable order or plan terms. Where required by consumer-protection laws (including the EU Consumer Rights Directive), you may exercise your statutory withdrawal right within the applicable period.

9.Suspension & termination

You may close your account at any time from your dashboard or by emailing us. Upon closure, public links to your songs stop working and we will delete or anonymize your User Content within a reasonable period, except as required by law (e.g., to comply with legal holds or DMCA records).

We may suspend or terminate your account (immediately and without prior notice in cases of clear violation) if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, applicable law, or have engaged in fraud, abuse, or activity that risks harm to the Service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (e.g., 3, 4 license already-distributed copies, 10–17) do survive.

10.Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. We do not guarantee that votes received reflect any particular audience, predict commercial success, or guarantee any outcome with respect to your music career. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11.Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL TREBLE, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF REVENUE, PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR DIRECT DAMAGES IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) US$100. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

12.Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Treble, its affiliates and personnel from any claim, demand, loss, damage, fine, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your User Content, (b) your use of the Service, (c) your breach of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right. We may, at our option, control the defense of any claim subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate.

13.Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 14 below where applicable, the courts located in Wyoming, United States have exclusive jurisdiction. Consumers in jurisdictions whose laws grant them mandatory rights (e.g., the EU and the UK) retain the right to bring claims in their local courts and the protection of mandatory consumer law of their habitual residence.

14.Arbitration & class action waiver (United States only)

If you reside in the United States, you and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that you may bring claims in small-claims court if eligible. You and we waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action or class arbitration. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first acceptance by emailing hello@treble.popit.marketing with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your full name and account email.

15.Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will notify you by email or through the Service at least 14 days before it takes effect, except where the change must take effect immediately by law. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and close your account.

16.Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Copyright Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of that right.
• Assignment. You may not assign your rights without our prior written consent. We may assign in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
• No third-party beneficiaries. Except as expressly stated, these Terms do not create third-party beneficiary rights.
• Notices. We may give notices to you by email or through the Service. You may give notices to us at hello@treble.popit.marketing.
