Terms of Service

1. Your content is yours

You keep full ownership of every beat, riddim, trackout, and recording you upload to Gruuvr. We don't claim any ownership of your creative work.

By uploading content you grant Gruuvr a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to host, display, stream, and process that content solely for the purpose of operating the platform — for example, generating waveforms, sending notification previews, or displaying your riddim on a collaborator's feed. We will not license your content to third parties or use it for any purpose beyond running Gruuvr.

2. You must own what you upload

You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to everything you upload. This means:

• No uploading beats, samples, or loops that sample copyrighted material without proper clearance.
• No reuploading another producer's work as your own.
• No content that infringes on any third party's intellectual property.
• No illegal content of any kind.

If you receive a DMCA takedown notice related to your upload, we will process it according to our DMCA Policy.

3. Forks and riddim remixes

A fork is a new riddim that links back to an original and preserves the attribution lineage permanently. Fork lineage cannot be removed or rewritten — it is a core part of how Gruuvr tracks creative credit.

• Forking a riddim is only permitted when the original producer has marked it as forkable.
• If a riddim is not marked forkable, you must obtain approval from the producer before forking.
• All forks must credit the original source — the lineage is displayed on the fork's page and cannot be edited.

4. Collaboration disputes

Gruuvr provides tools to invite collaborators, manage split agreements, and track contributions. However, we are a platform — not a legal intermediary. Any dispute about ownership, royalty splits, or collaboration credit is between the parties involved. Gruuvr is not responsible for resolving those disputes and cannot enforce private agreements.

We strongly encourage all collaborators to confirm splits before releasing anything commercially.

5. Age requirements

You must be at least 13 years old to create a Gruuvr account. Payment and rights-payout features require you to be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction).

6. Account termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in harassment, repeatedly infringe copyright, or otherwise act in ways that harm the Gruuvr community. Where possible, we will warn before taking action. For serious violations we may act immediately.

7. DMCA and copyright complaints

If you believe content on Gruuvr infringes your copyright, please review our DMCA Policy for instructions on submitting a valid takedown notice. We respond to all valid notices promptly.

8. Limitation of liability

Gruuvr is provided as-is. We are not liable for lost earnings, missed opportunities, collaboration disputes, content loss due to technical failure, or any indirect or consequential damages. Our total liability to you in any circumstances is limited to the amount you paid us in the preceding 12 months (if anything).

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we'll update the date at the top of this page and, for material changes, notify you by email or in-app notification. Continued use of Gruuvr after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
