These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and [COMPANY] LLC(“SIGNAL,” “we,” “us”), which operates the SIGNAL website and application (the “Service”) — a browser-based tool for creating audio-reactive visuals and videos. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 13 (or the age of digital consent in your country) to use the Service. You are responsible for your account, for keeping your credentials secure, and for all activity under your account.
“User Content” means anything you upload, create, or generate with the Service — including audio, video, images, and the visual projects and exports you make. You retain ownership of your User Content. We do not claim ownership of it.
To operate the Service, you grant [COMPANY] LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, process, create derivative works from (e.g., generating a video from your audio), publicly display, transmit, and distribute your User Content, solely as needed to provide the Service and the features you use — including rendering exports and serving any share links you create. This license ends when you delete the User Content or your account, except for content you have shared publicly (which may persist until the share is revoked) and reasonable backup copies.
You represent and warrant that, for all User Content you upload or use, you either own it or have obtained all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to use it with the Service — including, where applicable, rights in any sound recording (master) and any musical composition (publishing), and any synchronization (“sync”) rights required to set music to video. You are solely responsible for clearing these rights. You acknowledge that uploading a commercial song you do not own or have a license to may infringe third-party copyrights, and that you — not [COMPANY] LLC — are responsible for such use and for any consequences of distributing your exports.
You may not upload or use any content that infringes any copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, or other right; that you do not own or are not licensed to use; or that is unlawful, deceptive, or harmful. You may not misuse the Service, attempt to circumvent its limits, or use it to violate any law. Violations may result in content removal and account termination.
We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Our notice-and- takedown process, counter-notification process, and designated agent are described in our DMCA / Copyright Policy. We will, in appropriate circumstances, disable or remove infringing content and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless [COMPANY] LLC and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your User Content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party right — including claims that your User Content or its distribution infringes intellectual-property rights.
The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error- free, or that exports will be suitable for any particular distribution or platform.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, [COMPANY] LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or USD $100.
Paid features are billed through our payment processor. Fees, billing cycles, and refund terms are presented at purchase. You are responsible for applicable taxes.
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, and remove or disable content, at our discretion — including for violations of these Terms or our policies, or as required by law.
We may update these Terms; material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [STATE], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
