Terms of Service

Agreement

sngwrtr (“the service”) is operated by SNGWRTR Software Inc., a corporation incorporated in California, United States, at 1820 Whitley Ave Apt 418, Los Angeles, CA 90028 (“we,” “us”). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the service. sngwrtr is currently in beta, which means things change often and occasionally break.

Your content is yours

You keep all rights to the lyrics, songs, recordings, and other work you create with sngwrtr. We claim no ownership of your creative work. You grant us only the limited permission needed to operate the service for you: to store your content, sync it to your devices, and display it back to you and to anyone you choose to share a song with.

Your account

• You’re responsible for keeping your login secure and for activity under your account.
• You must be old enough to form a binding agreement in your jurisdiction.
• One person per account, unless we agree otherwise.

Plans & billing

• sngwrtr offers a free tier and optional paid plans. Prices and what each plan includes are shown on our pricing page.
• Payments are processed by our reseller and Merchant of Record, Lemon Squeezy, who bills you and handles your card details. Applicable taxes may be added at checkout.
• Recurring plans renew automatically for the same period until you cancel. You can cancel anytime; cancellation stops future renewals and your plan stays active until the end of the period you already paid for.
• Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable, but if something goes wrong email us and we’ll try to make it right.
• We may change plan prices or features going forward; changes won’t affect a period you’ve already paid for.

Acceptable use

Don’t use sngwrtr to break the law, infringe someone else’s rights, upload content you don’t have the rights to, attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer the service, or abuse other users on shared songs. We may suspend accounts that do.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users anywhere in sngwrtr, including comments left on share pages. Objectionable content includes hate speech, harassment, threats, sexual content involving minors, and content that promotes violence. Offensive comments are filtered automatically, anyone can report a comment, and the owner of a share page can remove comments and block a listener. We review every report within 24 hours, remove content that breaks these terms, and block whoever posted it.

Copyright

sngwrtr hosts only what its own users record or upload, and it publishes nothing to the public by itself. We don’t stream film, television or music catalogues, and the service carries no media library of any kind. Everything a writer stores stays private to their account unless they create a share link for it themselves.

Uploading anything you don’t hold the rights to breaks these terms. If you believe something on sngwrtr infringes your copyright, email hello@sngwrtr.app with a link to it and enough detail to identify the work. We review every report within 24 hours, remove anything that breaks these terms, and suspend repeat infringers.

Imports from other apps

sngwrtr can bring work in from places you already keep it. Every import runs because you asked for it, on material you picked, and sngwrtr is acting on your instruction when it does. We do not go looking for anything on your behalf, and nothing is imported that you have not pointed us at.

You confirm that you own, or otherwise hold the right to copy into sngwrtr, everything you import, and that importing it breaks no agreement you have with anyone else. This applies to material belonging to someone else even when it is publicly reachable. A public board, a link somebody sent you, or a file shared with you is still theirs, and being able to open something is a different thing from having the right to copy it. Getting whatever permission is needed is yours to do, before you import.

What each import actually does:

• Google Drive. Two ways in. The file picker uses Google’s drive.file permission, the narrowest scope Google offers, which lets us read only the files you personally pick in that picker. A Drive link you paste is read through Google’s own public endpoints, so it works only while the file is shared in a way that permits it. We never list, browse or index your Drive.
• Apple Notes and Apple Voice Memos. Apple publishes no interface for either, so nothing is read from your device or your iCloud account. You export from Apple’s own app and hand us the result, by pasting it or dropping the file in.
• Pinterest. We read a public board, profile or pin through Pinterest’s public feed. No login, no key, and nothing private. The pictures you then choose are copied into your project.
• DISCO. We read a share link you paste. That link is often somebody else’s rather than your own account, which is the ordinary way DISCO gets used, and it is the case where the paragraph above matters most.
• Samply. We use Samply’s own documented interface with a personal token you supply yourself, and only for the import you asked for. Revoking that token in your Samply settings ends the access.
• Spotify. We read a public playlist through Spotify’s own interface in order to list its tracks as credits. No Spotify account of yours is connected, and no audio is copied.
• [untitled]. The app opens untitled.stream in its own window and you drive it yourself. Track names and lengths come across. We do not sign in for you and we hold no credentials of yours for it.
• Your own files. Anything you upload yourself, from your computer or your phone.

The services we import from are not ours

Google, Apple, Pinterest, DISCO, Samply, Spotify and [untitled] are independent of sngwrtr. We are not affiliated with them, endorsed by them, or acting on their behalf, and their names and marks belong to them. Your use of each of those services is governed by that service’s own terms, and importing from one here changes nothing about them. Any of them may change, limit or withdraw what they make available at any time, which can stop an import working with no notice to you or to us.

We do not and cannot verify that you hold the rights to what you import. We rely on your confirmation above. We do not review imported material before it reaches your account, and an import succeeding is in no way us agreeing that you were entitled to the material.

If something imported turns out not to be yours

You agree to cover us for any claim, demand, loss or cost, including reasonable legal fees, arising from material you import or from the way you use another service through sngwrtr. If someone tells us that something you imported infringes their rights, we handle it exactly as the Copyright section above describes: email hello@sngwrtr.app, we review every report within 24 hours, we remove anything that breaks these terms, and we suspend repeat infringers.

Imports can fail, and they are not a backup

An import can be slow, incomplete or wrong, and the service on the other end can refuse us or change without warning. Nothing about an import is guaranteed, and an import is no substitute for your own copies. Keep the originals wherever they already live. How imported material is handled once it arrives is described in our Privacy Policy.

Availability & changes

The service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. It may have downtime, bugs, or data issues, and features may change or be removed. We do our best to protect your work, but you’re encouraged to keep your own copies of anything important. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

Ending your use

You can stop using sngwrtr and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end access if these terms are violated. We may update these terms as the product grows; continued use after a change means you accept the update.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and the federal laws of the United States that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be handled by the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.
