Terms of Service

• •Your songs are yours. I only use them to run the app for you, and to show what you publish.
• •Be decent: don't break the app, and don't publish things you don't have the rights to.
• •Pro renews automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel any time.
• •It's a one-person app. I'll do my best, and your legal rights as a consumer always apply.

Melodoodle is run by Pablo Domínguez, an individual developer based in Mexico ("I", "me"). You can reach me about anything, including legal notices, at hi@dominguezpablo.com. How I handle your data is explained in the Privacy Policy.

You need to be at least 16 to use Melodoodle. If you are younger, you can only use it with the permission of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these terms for you.

• •Use a real email address you can access.
• •Keep your login details safe, and tell me if you think someone else is using your account.
• •You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• •You can delete your account at any time from Settings.

You own everything you create in Melodoodle: songs, lyrics, melodies, recordings and notes. I claim no ownership over any of it.

To run the app, you give me a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to store, copy, process (for example, to sync, mix and convert audio for exports) and display your content, only to provide Melodoodle to you. Private content is shown only to you. Content you publish is shown to anyone who visits it, for as long as it stays published. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies kept for a short time in backups.

You are responsible for what you upload and publish. Make sure you have the rights to it, including lyrics, recordings, backing tracks, samples and images that belong to someone else.

• •Hack, break, overload or reverse engineer the app, or scrape it
• •Get around plan limits or payments
• •Use Melodoodle for anything illegal, or to harass, threaten or hate on people
• •Upload or publish content that infringes someone else's copyright or other rights
• •Publish other people's personal information without their permission
• •Pretend to be someone else, or create fake or automated accounts
• •Upload malware or send spam
• •Sell, rent or redistribute the app itself

If you think something published on Melodoodle is illegal or infringes your rights (for example, your copyright), email hi@dominguezpablo.com with the link to the content, why you think it is illegal or infringing, your name and contact details, and a statement that your report is accurate and made in good faith.

I'll review reports promptly and may remove or unpublish content, or suspend accounts. If I act on your content, I'll tell you what I did and why, unless the law or someone's safety prevents it, and you can reply to disagree.

Melodoodle has a free plan with limits shown in the app, and a paid Pro plan that removes those limits and adds extra features. Features and limits can change over time as the app evolves.

Prices are shown before you buy. On the web, Pro is sold through Stripe, in the currency shown at checkout. In the Android app, Pro is sold through Google Play, which shows its own local price and bills you under its own terms.

• •Free trial on the web: web subscriptions start with a 7-day free trial. If you don't cancel before the trial ends, your subscription starts and you are charged for the first period.
• •Automatic renewal: Pro is billed monthly or yearly, depending on the plan you pick, and renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel.
• •Google Play: any trial, price and billing date for purchases in the Android app are the ones Google Play shows you.
• •Price changes: if the price of your subscription changes, I'll tell you in advance, and the new price only applies from your next renewal. You can cancel before then.

• •Web (Stripe): go to Settings in the app and use Manage Billing to cancel in the Stripe billing portal. You can also email me and I'll cancel it for you.
• •Google Play: cancel in the Google Play app, under Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
• •After you cancel: Pro stays active until the end of the period you already paid for (or until your trial ends), and then your account goes back to the free plan. Your songs are not deleted because your plan ended.
• •Deleting your account also cancels any active Stripe subscription or Google Play renewal.

Payments are not refunded for partial periods or unused time, except where the law requires it. Purchases made through Google Play follow Google Play's refund policy (you can still email me if something went wrong).

If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK: you have the right to withdraw from your web subscription within 14 days of your first purchase, without giving a reason. To do it, email hi@dominguezpablo.com with a clear statement that you want to withdraw. I'll cancel the subscription and refund you within 14 days, using the same payment method. Where the law allows, I may deduct a proportionate amount for any period you already used.

Consumers in other countries keep any similar right their local law gives them.

Melodoodle is built and run by one person. I work hard to keep it running and to protect your work, but I can't promise it will always be available, error free or unchanged. Features may be added, changed or removed. Please export songs that matter to you, as a backup.

To the extent the law allows, Melodoodle is provided "as is" and "as available". Nothing in these terms limits the rights you have as a consumer that can't be waived by contract, such as the legal guarantee that digital content and services work as described.

To the extent the law allows, I'm not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits or lost opportunities, and my total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of what you paid me for Melodoodle in the 12 months before the claim or 50 US dollars.

These limits don't apply to liability that can't be limited by law, such as for intent, gross negligence, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

• •You can stop using Melodoodle and delete your account at any time.
• •I can suspend or close an account for serious or repeated breaches of these terms, fraud, or when the law requires it. I'll tell you why, unless the law or someone's safety prevents it.
• •If I ever shut Melodoodle down, I'll give you at least 30 days' notice so you can export your songs, and refund any prepaid, unused time on web subscriptions.

These terms are governed by the laws of Mexico. This doesn't take away any mandatory consumer protections of the country where you live, and where your local law gives you that right, you can bring a claim in your local courts.

If you have a problem, please email hi@dominguezpablo.com first. Most things can be sorted out with a conversation.

If I change these terms, I'll update the effective date at the top. For important changes, I'll let you know in the app or by email before they take effect, and where the law requires it, I'll ask for your agreement. If you don't agree, you can cancel your subscription and delete your account before the changes apply.
