LISTENIFY — TERMS OF SERVICE

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Listenify ("Listenify", "we", "our", or "us"). Listenify provides a platform through which users may upload, discover, share and listen to music, subject to the features available on the service.

By creating an account or using Listenify, you agree to these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, Copyright Policy and applicable platform guidelines.

If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the service.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

You must provide accurate account information and keep your login credentials secure. You are responsible for activities conducted through your account, subject to applicable law.

Users under the age of 18 must use the service only where legally permitted and with any required parental or guardian authorization.

We may restrict or suspend accounts where we reasonably believe that a user has violated these terms or applicable law.

3. Music Ownership and Upload Permissions

You retain ownership of music and other content you upload, subject to rights held by other parties.

By uploading content, you represent that:

• You created the content or have obtained all permissions and licences necessary for the uses permitted on Listenify.
• Your upload does not knowingly infringe another person's copyright, privacy, publicity or other legal rights.
• You have permission to include any samples, beats, recordings, performances, lyrics, artwork or other third-party material contained in your upload.
• The information you provide about the content is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

Purchasing, downloading or possessing an audio file does not by itself grant you permission to distribute or publicly stream it.

4. Licence Granted to Listenify

You retain ownership of your content. You grant Listenify a non-exclusive licence, for the duration your content is available on the service, to host, store, reproduce as technically necessary, transcode, transmit, display associated metadata and stream the content through the features you choose to use.

This licence is limited to operating, maintaining, securing and promoting the service as reasonably necessary, including making your music available to listeners in accordance with your account settings.

We will not treat this clause as permission to use your music in unrelated commercial releases or to sell your music as our own.

You must have the rights necessary to grant this licence. The licence does not override third-party rights.

5. Prohibited Content

You must not upload or share:

• Copyrighted music without the necessary authorization.
• Unauthorized commercial recordings, movie soundtracks or music ripped from streaming services.
• Remixes, mashups, covers or sampled music without the permissions required for the relevant use.
• Content that violates applicable law or another person's legal rights.
• Malware, deceptive files, impersonation content or fraudulent material.

6. Copyright Complaints and Content Removal

Listenify provides a process for reporting suspected copyright infringement.

We may review complaints, request additional information, restrict access to content, remove content or suspend accounts when appropriate or legally required.

We may preserve relevant records where required by law. We may notify affected users and provide a process for responding to or disputing a complaint where appropriate.

Repeated or serious violations may result in account termination.

7. Platform Availability

We aim to provide a reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted access, permanent storage, continuous availability or the preservation of every upload.

Features may change, and content may become unavailable for technical, legal, security or operational reasons. Users should maintain their own copies of original music files.

8. Third-Party Services

Listenify may rely on third-party hosting, storage, analytics, authentication or streaming services. Their services may be subject to separate terms and privacy practices.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Listenify is not responsible for losses arising from interruptions, user-generated content, unauthorized user activity or third-party service failures.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limits any rights that users have under applicable law. These terms do not guarantee immunity from copyright claims.

10. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these terms, repeated infringement, fraud, security threats or other lawful reasons. Where appropriate, users may appeal a restriction by contacting appeals@listenify.com.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms to reflect changes to our service or legal obligations. We will provide notice of material changes where required by law.

12. Governing Law

These terms are intended for an India-focused service and are subject to applicable Indian law. The appropriate jurisdiction and dispute-resolution arrangements must be finalized before publication.

LISTENIFY — COPYRIGHT POLICY

1. Our Commitment

Listenify respects the rights of musicians, composers, lyricists, producers, labels, performers and other copyright owners. Users must upload only content they own or are authorized to use in the ways enabled by the platform.

2. What Is Not Permitted

Unless the required rights or permissions have been obtained, users must not upload or distribute:

• Commercial songs belonging to other artists or labels.
• Music extracted from films, music videos or streaming services.
• Unauthorized remixes, mashups, covers or samples.
• Recordings that incorporate protected compositions, lyrics or performances without the necessary permissions.
• Content uploaded in a manner that exceeds the scope of an existing licence.

Crediting the artist, linking to the original song, stating "no copyright infringement intended" or making the upload free does not automatically grant permission.

3. How to Report Infringement

A rights holder or authorized representative can submit a report through the Report Song feature in the 3-dot track menu (select "Report copyright infringement") or contact:

Copyright email: copyright@listenify.com

Please provide:

1. Your full name and contact details.
2. The title and URL of each reported track.
3. Identification of the copyrighted work and your relationship to it.
4. An explanation of why the upload is unauthorized.
5. Supporting evidence or relevant documentation.
6. A declaration that the information provided is accurate and that you are authorized to submit the complaint.

Please do not send unnecessary sensitive personal information.

4. Review and Action

We may acknowledge receipt, request clarification, assess supporting material and take appropriate action. Depending on the circumstances and applicable legal requirements, we may disable access to the reported track, remove it, restrict the account, preserve relevant records or notify the uploader.

A report is not automatically proof of infringement. However, we may temporarily restrict access while a credible claim is reviewed. We will follow applicable statutory procedures and deadlines.

5. Counter-Notifications and Disputes

If your music is removed or disabled and you believe the action was mistaken, contact copyright-appeals@listenify.com. Include the track URL, your explanation, evidence of ownership or authorization, and any other relevant information. Reinstatement is not guaranteed, particularly where a legal order or unresolved rights dispute prevents it.

6. Repeat Infringers

We may warn, restrict or terminate accounts that repeatedly upload infringing content or knowingly abuse the platform.

7. False or Abusive Reports

Reports must be submitted honestly and in good faith. Knowingly false claims, impersonation of rights holders or abusive reporting may result in restrictions or other appropriate action.

8. No Guarantee of Legal Immunity

This policy describes our intended procedures. It does not waive any rights, eliminate copyright liability or guarantee that Listenify qualifies for any statutory intermediary protection.

9. Contact

Copyright appeals: copyright-appeals@listenify.com

LISTENIFY — MUSIC UPLOAD GUIDELINES

1. Upload Music You Have the Right to Share

Before uploading a track, ensure that you own or have permission for every relevant component, which may include:

• The sound recording.
• The underlying musical composition.
• Lyrics.
• Samples, beats and loops.
• Performances and collaborations.
• Cover artwork and other accompanying material.

2. Original Music

Original music may be uploaded if you have the necessary rights and any required permissions from collaborators, performers, producers or other contributors. Keep project files, release records or agreements that may help establish your rights.

3. Covers, Remixes and Mashups

Do not assume that permission to record a cover, use a beat, or remix a song automatically permits distribution and streaming on Listenify. Obtain the permissions required for your specific use, including applicable composition, recording, sampling and performance rights.

4. Commercial Music

Do not upload Bollywood songs, label releases, movie soundtracks or other commercial recordings unless you have obtained the necessary authorization for the intended platform use.

5. AI-Generated Music

You may upload AI-generated music only if your use complies with the applicable law, the relevant tool's licence and the rights of any third parties whose material is incorporated. Do not use AI tools to impersonate an artist deceptively or upload unauthorized copies or imitations of protected recordings.

6. Required Upload Declaration

Before publishing, you must confirm:

"I confirm that I created this content or have obtained all rights and permissions necessary for the uses permitted by Listenify. I have not knowingly included unauthorized copyrighted material. I understand that Listenify may restrict or remove my content following a rights complaint or where required by law."

7. Accurate Metadata

Provide accurate track titles, artist names, credits, descriptions and artwork. Do not impersonate another artist or falsely claim ownership.

8. Moderation

Listenify may review, restrict or remove uploads that violate these guidelines or applicable law. Users may appeal moderation decisions through support@listenify.com.

LISTENIFY — COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT PROCEDURE

Step 1: Submit a Complaint

Use the Report Song option in the song menu or email copyright@listenify.com. Identify the track and provide your contact information, rights information and explanation of the alleged infringement.

Step 2: Acknowledgement and Initial Review

We will assess whether the report identifies the content and explains the claimed rights sufficiently for review. We may request further details. An incomplete report may delay assessment unless immediate action is otherwise required.

Step 3: Assess the Evidence

We may examine available release information, licences, contracts, authorization records and the uploader's response. We do not require a single universal type of evidence because the appropriate proof varies by claim.

Step 4: Restrict Access When Appropriate

We may temporarily disable access while investigating a credible claim. Where applicable law requires removal or other action, we will follow the relevant procedure and deadline.

Step 5: Notify the Uploader Where Appropriate

We may inform the uploader of the complaint, subject to legal restrictions and safety considerations. We may invite evidence of ownership or authorization.

Step 6: Resolve or Escalate

Possible outcomes include:

• No action where the report is unsupported or the content is authorized.
• Continued restriction or removal where appropriate.
• Further investigation if the evidence is inconclusive.
• Referral to legal counsel or compliance personnel where necessary.

Step 7: Appeal

Affected users may submit relevant information to copyright-appeals@listenify.com. We will assess the appeal and communicate the outcome where appropriate. Content will not automatically be restored if a dispute remains unresolved or a legal requirement prevents reinstatement.

Step 8: Preserve Records

We will preserve relevant complaint records and associated information for the periods required by applicable law and our documented retention policies.

Required Complaint Details

• Claimant's name and contact information.
• Reported song title and URL.
• Identification of the copyrighted work.
• Explanation of ownership or authority to act.
• Supporting evidence, where available.
• Declaration of good faith and accuracy.
