Terms of Use

Effective August 4, 2026 · Version 2026-08-04

These Terms govern your use of YourSongs. They cover what you can do with the song we make for you, what we will and will not create, what you should know about AI-generated music, and how text messaging works. Please read sections 7 and 8 in particular — they describe real limits on what anyone can promise about AI-generated work.

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

YourSongs (“YourSongs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website at yoursongs.ai, the YourSongs applications, and the YourSongs API (together, the “Service”). These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and YourSongs governing your access to and use of the Service.

By creating an account, using the Service, or clicking to accept these Terms, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

We may change these Terms. When a change is material, we will post the updated Terms with a new effective date and version, and we will notify you — by email, by a notice in the Service, or by asking you to accept the new version before you continue. Changes are not retroactive. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or purchase anything from us. The Service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to create an account. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we will close it.

If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms, and “you” includes that organization.

You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable sanctions or export-control law.

3. Your account

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information on your account, for keeping your credentials confidential, and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission — write to support@yoursongs.ai.

We offer two-factor authentication and passkeys. We strongly recommend enabling at least one. You are responsible for keeping your recovery codes somewhere safe; we cannot recover them for you.

You may close your account at any time. Closing your account ends your right to use the Service and starts the deletion process described in our Privacy Policy.

4. What the Service does

YourSongs turns a short, guided, text-based conversation about a person or an occasion into an original song. You answer questions in your own words; we assemble what you tell us into a song package — a title, lyrics, a musical direction, and pronunciation guidance — and then produce recorded audio from it. The result is a keepsake you can play, keep, download, and share.

Songs are produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence, and in some cases with human review before delivery. Section 8 explains what that means for you.

Releasing a song to streaming services is optional and separate from the keepsake. It is available only where we offer it, and it is subject to section 13.

We may add, change, or discontinue features. We will not materially reduce a feature you have already paid for without offering you a reasonable remedy.

5. Fees, purchases, and gifts

Some parts of the Service are paid. The price, what it includes, any recurring charges, and any refund or cancellation terms are the ones presented to you at the point of purchase, and they form part of these Terms for that purchase. We will not charge you an amount you have not been shown first.

You authorize us and our payment processor to charge the payment method you provide for the amounts you approve, plus any applicable taxes. You are responsible for keeping your payment details current.

Where we offer a song as a gift, the person who pays is our customer and is bound by these Terms. The recipient must accept these Terms to claim the gift and use the Service.

If a charge is disputed or reversed, we may suspend access to the affected songs or features until the dispute is resolved.

6. Your content, and the permission you give us

“Your Content” is everything you provide: what you type in the conversation, the names, details, memories, and instructions you share, any files you upload, your profile information, and any feedback you send.

You keep ownership of Your Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, and process Your Content for the limited purpose of operating the Service and delivering what you asked for — including creating your song, improving your experience of your own account (for example, remembering how a name should be sung), providing support, and, where you have asked for it, releasing your song for distribution. This license ends when you delete Your Content or close your account, except where we must retain it as described in our Privacy Policy or by law.

We do not use Your Content to train our own generative models, and we require the AI providers we use to process it without training on it.

You represent that you have the rights necessary to give us this license and that Your Content does not infringe anyone’s rights or break any law.

7. Your song, and what you can do with it

When we make a song for you, we grant you a licence to use it. That licence — not ownership of a copyright — is what gives you your rights in the song, and this section sets out what it covers.

What you can do. For as long as your account is open and you have paid for the song, you may:

  • play it, as often as you like, for as long as you like;
  • download it as an MP3 or WAV file and keep your own copies of those files;
  • share it — privately, with a link we mint for you, or by playing it to people;
  • give it as a gift, or have it made as a gift for someone else; and
  • ask us to release it to the streaming services, and ask us to pull it back down, under section 13.

This licence is worldwide, perpetual as to copies you have already downloaded, and free of any further charge. It is for personal and family use. Commercial exploitation — advertising, synchronisation into film or video you monetise, resale, or use as production music — is not included unless we agree to it in writing.

What we hold. We are the label of record for songs made on the Service. We retain the distribution rights in the recorded audio, and any royalties a streaming release earns are collected by us. We hold those royalties separately and will say what we do with them before we do anything with them. You do not have to release your song, and if you never do, none of this affects your use of it.

Your words stay yours. Lyrics you write or edit yourself are Your Content under section 6, and nothing here takes them from you. Where you have written or substantially rewritten the words, any copyright in those words is yours.

Why it is a licence and not ownership. Section 8 explains this in full, but the short version is that a recording generated by a machine, without enough human authorship, may not attract copyright at all in the United States and elsewhere. Nobody can sell you ownership of something that may have no owner. A licence we can actually honour is worth more than a claim that would not survive being tested, and it is what lets us hold the distribution side steady on your behalf.

Provider terms pass through.Your song is produced using third-party AI systems. What you may do with it is the overlap of what we grant you here, what the producing system’s licence permits for that specific output, and what the plan or package you purchased includes. We record which system produced each version of your song so the applicable terms are traceable, and we will tell you the applicable limits on request.

We will not use your song in our own marketing without your separate, express permission.

8. What you should know about AI-generated content

Please read this section carefully; it describes real limits that no agreement can remove.

  • Copyright protection may be limited. In the United States and in several other jurisdictions, material generated by a machine without sufficient human authorship may not be eligible for copyright protection. Your creative input matters, but we cannot promise that your song, or any part of it, is protectable by copyright, and we make no representation that you can register it.
  • Outputs are not unique. Generative systems can produce similar results for similar prompts. Someone else’s song may resemble yours. Your licence to your song gives you no rights over other people’s similar outputs, and we may produce songs for others that resemble yours.
  • Results vary. Lyrics can misread your intent, names can be sung incorrectly, and audio quality varies. We give you ways to ask for changes, but we do not warrant that any song will meet a particular standard of artistic quality or match what you imagined.
  • AI disclosure obligations may apply to you. If you publish or distribute your song, the platform you use may require you to disclose that it is AI-generated. Section 13 covers this for releases we facilitate; anywhere else, complying is your responsibility.

9. Acceptable use

The Service exists to make songs that celebrate people. You agree not to use it to request, create, upload, share, or distribute content that:

  • sexualizes, endangers, or exploits a minor in any way — this is an absolute prohibition and we will report it where the law requires;
  • harasses, threatens, bullies, defames, or incites violence or hatred against a person or a group, including on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age;
  • is sexually explicit, or depicts a real, identifiable person in a sexual manner;
  • impersonates a real person, or puts words in a real person’s mouth in a way likely to deceive;
  • reuses someone else’s copyrighted lyrics or melody, recreates an existing song, or imitates a specific recording artist’s voice or performance;
  • infringes anyone’s intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights, or discloses someone’s private information without their permission;
  • promotes self-harm, illegal drugs, weapons trafficking, fraud, or any other illegal activity; or
  • is otherwise unlawful where you are or where the song will be heard.

You also agree not to:

  • reverse engineer, scrape, or attempt to extract the prompts, models, or source code behind the Service;
  • probe, disrupt, or overload the Service or circumvent any rate limit, access control, or security measure;
  • use the Service to build a competing generative product, or resell access to it except under a written partner agreement with us;
  • use automated means to create accounts or generate songs at scale outside our API and its terms; or
  • help anyone else do any of the above.

10. Songs about other people

Most songs made here are about someone other than the person ordering them. That is the point of a keepsake, and for a private song shared with family and friends we keep it simple.

Public release is different, because it makes a named person’s details permanently available to strangers. Before we release a song that names or clearly identifies a living private individual, you must confirm that you have that person’s permission, or that you otherwise have the right to feature them. We may ask you to confirm this again for a particular song, and we may decline to release it.

Songs about public figures, and songs referencing brands or trademarks, carry additional legal risk that falls on you. You are responsible for having whatever rights are needed.

Songs about someone who has died are welcome and we treat them with care. For a public release, you must confirm you have the standing or the family’s agreement to release it.

If someone tells us a song about them was made or released without their permission, we may remove it, withdraw it from distribution, or suspend the account responsible while we look into it.

11. Review, moderation, and enforcement

We review what goes into the Service and what comes out of it. We may decline a request, stop a song in production, refuse to deliver or distribute a song, remove content, limit a feature, or suspend or close an account, where we reasonably believe these Terms have been broken or that doing so is necessary to protect people, the Service, or us.

We aim to be proportionate: where the circumstances allow, we will tell you what happened and give you a chance to respond. For serious harms — content involving minors, credible threats, or illegal activity — we will act immediately and without notice.

If we refuse or remove a song you paid for, and you did not break these Terms, we will make it right.

If you believe your work has been infringed on the Service, write to legal@yoursongs.ai with enough detail to identify the work and the material you are reporting, and we will respond, including under the notice-and-takedown process of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act where it applies.

12. Third-party material

The Service creates original work. It is not a tool for copying existing songs. Do not ask us to reproduce copyrighted lyrics or melodies, to recreate a known song, or to make something “in the voice of” a specific artist. We refuse these requests, and a song that slips through is subject to section 11.

The Service may link to or interoperate with third-party services. We do not control them and are not responsible for them; your use of them is governed by their terms.

13. Optional streaming release

Where we offer it, we can submit your song to streaming services through a music distributor. Whether a song is released is your decision and yours alone: we submit nothing you have not asked us to submit, and you can ask us to pull a release back down at any time.

We are the label of record on every song released through the Service, including songs made through one of our partners. That is what section 7 describes: we hold the distribution rights, we deal with the distributor and the streaming services, and we collect any royalties the release earns. You do not have to do any of that, and you are not asked to warrant anything about the recording that only we can know.

By asking us to release a song, you confirm that:

  • you have the rights needed to release it, including any permission required under section 10;
  • the song contains no third-party material you are not entitled to use;
  • you accept that the distributor and each streaming service impose their own terms — including their policies on AI-generated music, metadata accuracy, and artist naming — and that these apply to your release; and
  • you understand that a release can be rejected, delayed, or taken down by a distributor or streaming service for reasons outside our control.

We will disclose AI involvement to the distributor where its policies require it. Royalties are collected by us and held separately, as section 7 describes. We do not promise that any song will be accepted, will remain available, or will earn anything, and a release is not an income arrangement — treat any royalty a song earns as incidental to the keepsake, not the point of it.

You may ask us to withdraw a release. We will pass the request on promptly, but takedown timing is up to the distributor and the streaming services, and copies already downloaded cannot be recalled.

14. Sharing a song, and what listeners can do

You can share a finished song by asking us to mint a share link. The link is unguessable, it belongs to you, and you can switch it off at any time. Anyone holding a live link can play the song on our site without an account. Turning the link off stops new plays; it cannot reach a copy someone already downloaded.

You control what a share link does:

  • Downloading is off unless you turn it on. A listener can always play the song; saving the file is a separate permission that only you can grant.
  • Passing it on is allowed unless you turn it off. A listener can reshare the song onward, up to three hops from you. Each hop makes a new link that answers to yours: switching yours off switches off everything downstream of it.
  • Lyrics are hidden unless you show them. The listening page shows the title and the audio by default.

Likes and comments. A listening page carries a like button and a comment box. A comment is content its author is responsible for, and section 9 applies to it in full. You can delete any comment on your own song, for any reason or none. We can remove one under section 11. Do not put anything in a comment you would not want the song’s creator, or anyone else with the link, to read.

Referral credit. If someone follows your share link, creates an account, and makes a song of their own, we credit your account. The amount is the one shown on our pricing page at the time. Credit is applied to what you buy from us; it has no cash value, we do not pay it out, and it is not transferable. We may withhold or reverse credit that comes from self-referral, bulk or automated link distribution, or anything else done to manufacture credit rather than to share a song with someone. If your account closes, unused credit goes with it.

15. Text messages

Text messaging is optional. We never text you unless you have added your mobile number and checked the box agreeing to receive messages — that affirmative opt-in is required, and it is separate from creating an account.

When you opt in:

  • Who is texting you: YourSongs.
  • What you will receive: account and security messages, including one-time verification and sign-in codes. These are transactional. We do not send marketing texts.
  • How often: message frequency may vary — most messages are sent in response to something you did, such as signing in.
  • Cost: message and data rates may apply. We do not charge for the messages; your mobile carrier may.
  • Stopping: reply STOP to any message to opt out, or remove your number on your account page. Reply HELP for help. Opting out of texts does not close your account, but it does turn off text-message sign-in codes, so make sure you have another way to sign in first.

Messages are delivered through Twilio, our messaging provider. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Keep your number current — if you give up a number, tell us, because whoever gets it next should not receive your codes. We keep a record of your opt-in and any opt-out, as described in our Privacy Policy.

16. Partner and API use

We offer YourSongs to businesses — event and wedding planners, for example — through our API and a partner workspace. Partner use requires a separate written agreement with us. Where that agreement conflicts with these Terms, it controls for that partner.

If you reach the Service through a partner, the partner is responsible for its own relationship with you, including what it charges you and how it handles your information under its own privacy policy. We handle the song creation.

Partners must not use the API to create accounts or songs for people who have not agreed to these Terms, must pass on the acceptable-use rules in section 9, and must keep their API credentials secret.

17. Our intellectual property

The Service itself — the software, the prompts and creative pipeline, the designs, the YourSongs name and marks, and everything else we provide other than your song and Your Content — belongs to us or our licensors. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Service as offered, and nothing more.

You may not use our name, logo, or marks without our written permission, except to say truthfully that you made a song with YourSongs.

18. Feedback

If you send us an idea, a bug report, or a suggestion, you give us permission to use it freely to improve the Service, with no obligation and no payment to you. You keep any rights you already had in it. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential.

19. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or close your account if you break these Terms, if we are required to by law, or if we discontinue the Service.

If we close your account without cause, or discontinue the Service, we will give you reasonable notice and a reasonable opportunity to download your songs.

Sections that should survive the end of this agreement do: your licence to the songs we have already made for you and the limits on it, our distribution rights in those recordings, the licence you granted us to the extent we must retain content, feedback, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and the dispute-resolution terms.

Closing your account does not take away files you have already downloaded. Your licence to play and keep those copies survives; what ends is your access to the Service and to the copies we hold for you.

20. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; that any song will meet your expectations, be original, be protectable by copyright, or be accepted for distribution; or that any content produced will be free of material that resembles someone else’s work.

Nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty or right that cannot be excluded under the law that applies to you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

21. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither we nor our suppliers will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Service — even if we were told such damages were possible.

Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service in any twelve-month period is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in that period or one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

These limits do not apply to liability we cannot limit by law, including, where applicable, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or — for consumers in the EEA and the UK — liability that cannot lawfully be restricted. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

22. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, your breach of these Terms, or your release or other use of a song — including a claim that a song infringes someone’s rights or was made or released about someone without their permission. We will notify you of any such claim, and you may not settle it in a way that imposes an obligation on us without our consent.

23. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Massachusetts for any dispute that is not resolved informally, and each of us waives any objection to venue there.

Before filing anything, please contact us at legal@yoursongs.ai and give us thirty days to try to resolve the problem with you. Most issues can be settled that way.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, nothing here deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence, or of your right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country.

Any claim relating to the Service must be brought within one year after it arises, except where a longer period is required by law.

24. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any terms presented at the point of purchase, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service, and they replace any earlier understanding.

If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will remain in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Neither of us is liable for a failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

We may send you notices by email to the address on your account or by a notice in the Service. Send us notices at legal@yoursongs.ai.

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship between us, and these Terms give no rights to anyone other than you and us.

25. How to contact us

For anything about these Terms, write to legal@yoursongs.ai.

For help with your account or a song, write to support@yoursongs.ai.
