Terms of Service

Version: 1.0 Effective Date: September 16, 2026

Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of SoundStage, a service operated by SoundStage, LLC. By creating an account, accessing SoundStage, or using SoundStage features, you agree to these Terms and the policies incorporated into them.

If you do not agree, do not use SoundStage.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create or use a SoundStage account.

By using SoundStage, you represent that you are at least 18 and legally able to agree to these Terms.

Accounts

SoundStage supports Fan and Artist account types.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for activity performed through your account, except to the extent caused by SoundStage or otherwise provided by law.

You must provide accurate information and must not impersonate another person, Artist, company, label, or organization.

Fan Accounts

Fans may use approved SoundStage features to discover Artists, follow accounts, Like, Recommend, comment, share, message, build a lineup, and participate in discovery-related features.

Fan accounts cannot publish public posts.

Artist Accounts and Verification

Artists may create an Artist account and prepare drafts, but public publishing requires successful Artist Verification.

Verification confirms only that SoundStage approved the Artist claim based on the evidence available at the time. Verification is not an endorsement, a guarantee of identity beyond the review performed, or a guarantee that the Artist owns every right associated with uploaded content.

Artist Content

Artists retain ownership of the content they create and upload, subject to rights owned by others.

You grant SoundStage a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transcode, display, perform, distribute, and make technical copies of content you submit as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, promote, and provide SoundStage features. This license ends when the content is deleted from SoundStage, except for reasonable backup, legal, security, enforcement, or archival retention and content that others have lawfully shared or incorporated into platform records where deletion is not technically or legally required.

You represent that you have all rights, licenses, permissions, and consents needed for the content you upload and for SoundStage to use it as described in these Terms.

Finished-Content Model

SoundStage does not provide a licensed music library and does not grant music rights to uploaders.

Artist posts must be finished content with any audio already incorporated by the uploader. You are responsible for all music, recording, composition, video, artwork, name, likeness, trademark, and other rights associated with your post.

Post Length

Public Artist video posts are limited to 30 seconds unless SoundStage changes the product limit and provides updated product terms or notices.

WebLinks

SoundStage may allow Artists or posts to include WebLinks to third-party destinations. SoundStage does not control those sites or services and is not responsible for their availability, content, transactions, or privacy practices.

Likes, Recommendations, and Discovery Features

A Like and a Recommendation are separate SoundStage actions.

SoundStage may use Likes, Recommendations, follows, watch activity, profile visits, and other platform activity to operate discovery, ranking, badges, streaks, or Discovery Score features.

Do not buy, sell, automate, exchange, or manipulate engagement in ways intended to distort SoundStage discovery or reputation systems.

SoundStage may change formulas, eligibility rules, labels, ranks, badges, or discovery systems as the service evolves.

Messaging and User Interactions

You are responsible for your interactions with other users. You must comply with the Messaging and Safety Rules and Community Guidelines.

Blocking, reporting, and messaging preferences are safety tools and may limit interactions between accounts.

Prohibited Conduct

You may not:

• Violate law or another person's rights.
• Harass, threaten, exploit, stalk, or abuse others.
• Impersonate others or submit fraudulent Artist Verification evidence.
• Upload content you do not have the right to use.
• Circumvent security, access controls, moderation, blocks, or account restrictions.
• Scrape, automate, reverse engineer, overload, disrupt, or misuse SoundStage except as permitted by law or written authorization.
• Distribute malware, phishing content, scams, spam, or fraudulent requests.
• Manipulate engagement, discovery, rankings, Recommendations, follows, or other platform systems.
• Use SoundStage in a way that creates unreasonable safety, legal, security, or operational risk.

Moderation and Enforcement

SoundStage may investigate suspected violations and may remove or restrict content, limit features, suspend publishing or verification, suspend accounts, or terminate accounts.

SoundStage may act without prior notice where reasonably necessary for safety, security, legal compliance, fraud prevention, or protection of users or the service.

Copyright

Copyright complaints are governed by the SoundStage Copyright and DMCA Policy. A normal content report is not a substitute for a formal copyright notice.

Copyright correspondence: [email protected].

Service Availability and Changes

SoundStage may add, remove, modify, suspend, or discontinue features. We do not guarantee that every feature will always be available, error-free, or compatible with every device.

Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SoundStage is provided "as is" and "as available." SoundStage, LLC disclaims warranties that are not expressly stated in these Terms, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the extent those disclaimers are permitted by law.

SoundStage does not guarantee discovery, audience growth, streams, followers, revenue, professional opportunities, or commercial success.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SoundStage, LLC and its officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from or related to SoundStage.

Where liability cannot legally be excluded, liability will be limited only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SoundStage, LLC and its officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your content, your misuse of SoundStage, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of another person's rights.

Disputes and Applicable Law

These Terms are governed by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms limits rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived. Any dispute must be brought in a court or forum with lawful jurisdiction unless the parties agree to another permitted resolution process.

Changes to These Terms

SoundStage may update these Terms as the service changes. Material changes may require new acceptance or other notice.
