Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and SonicEngine Technologies ("we", "us", or the "Company") governing your use of the SonicEngine Pro website and service at sonicenginepro.com (the "Service"). 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 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Service.

SonicEngine Pro uses AI audio source separation to split audio and video content you provide into individual stems (such as vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments), and lets you remix those stems with per-channel volume controls and download the results.

You can register with an email address and password or through a third-party sign-in provider (Google or GitHub). You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at support@sonicenginepro.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account. One account per person; accounts may not be shared or resold.

The Service offers a Free plan and paid subscription plans (Basic and Pro) with different monthly processing quotas and upload size limits, as described on our pricing page. Quotas reset monthly. We may change plan features or pricing with reasonable advance notice; changes will not apply retroactively to an already-paid period. You can cancel or downgrade at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable.

You agree not to:

• use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to process unlawful content;
• upload or submit content you do not have the legal right to process (see Section 6);
• attempt to circumvent usage limits, quotas, or access controls;
• probe, scan, disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the Service;
• scrape the Service or access it by automated means other than documented interfaces;
• resell or provide the Service to third parties as your own offering without our written consent.

You retain all ownership rights in the content you upload or submit. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, transmit, and reproduce that content solely as needed to operate the Service (for example, running audio separation and delivering your downloads). We claim no other rights in your content.

You may submit audio or video content either by direct upload or, where the feature is available, by providing a link to a third-party source (including YouTube). By doing so, you represent and warrant that you own the content or otherwise have the legal right to use and process it. The Service is intended for personal, non-commercial use unless you separately hold rights permitting broader use. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google, and your use of any YouTube-sourced content remains subject to YouTube's own Terms of Service. We do not guarantee the continued availability of any third-party source integration.

Copyright in any original recording and composition remains with its rightful owner. Processing content through the Service does not transfer or grant you any additional rights in the underlying work. You are solely responsible for your use, publication, or distribution of any output produced by the Service, and we disclaim all liability for it.

As between you and us, you own the separated stems and remixed output generated from your content, subject always to the rights of the underlying copyright holders. Creating a stem separation or remix of a work you do not own does not give you the right to publish, distribute, perform, or commercially exploit it.

The Service itself - including the website, software, design, branding, and underlying models and algorithms - is owned by the Company or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights in the Service other than the limited right to use it as intended.

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement. If you believe content processed or stored through the Service infringes your copyright, send a takedown notice to support@sonicenginepro.com including: (a) identification of the copyrighted work; (b) identification of the allegedly infringing material and where it is located; (c) your contact information; (d) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for them; and (f) your physical or electronic signature. We will remove or disable access to material identified in valid notices and may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake, you may submit a counter-notice with equivalent detail to the same address.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that separation output will meet any particular quality standard.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR REVENUE, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM (OR $20 IF YOU HAVE PAID NOTHING).

You agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from content you submit to the Service, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms - including any third-party claim that content you submitted or output you distributed infringes intellectual property rights.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, including for repeated copyright infringement. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends; sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 6, 7, 10, 11, and 12) survive termination.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced on the Service or by email before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Questions about these Terms: support@sonicenginepro.com.
