These draft Terms explain the intended ground rules for listeners, creators, subscriptions, and digital music ownership on Undiscovered One. They are not yet publicly adopted or presented as an agreement already in effect. Formal entity, eligibility, governing-law, and dispute provisions remain to be finalized.
Acceptance and scope
Once finalized and validly adopted, these Terms are intended to govern access to Undiscovered One’s music platform and related services, including radio and streaming, discovery, accounts, creator dashboards, direct music purchases, Music Plus, and creator memberships. They are intended for listeners and creators, with additional responsibilities for those who upload or sell music.
Public access to this draft does not itself mean you have accepted an adopted agreement. Before the Terms take effect, the service should identify the contracting organization, provide the applicable terms and required notices, and use an appropriate acceptance process. The contracting organization is currently [Company legal name], pending confirmation.
Feature-specific policies may add details once adopted and properly presented. Linked placeholders are not already operative agreements. These Terms should be read alongside the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and foundational Digital Bill of Rights without treating any of those drafts as finalized legal terms.
Account eligibility and responsibility
You must be legally eligible to use the service and, where required, able to enter the relevant agreement or have valid permission from an authorized parent or guardian. Specific minimum-age requirements and supported-region rules remain to be finalized before public adoption; this draft does not invent a numerical age threshold. The service is not intended for children where their participation is legally prohibited.
Provide accurate information reasonably needed for your account and keep it current. If you act for an artist, collective, or business, you must have authority for the actions you take and the rights you represent. Do not create accounts to impersonate others, evade a valid restriction, or misrepresent rights or payout eligibility.
You are responsible for actions you authorize through your account, but a report of unauthorized access should be investigated rather than automatically treated as proof that you caused it. Some creator, payment, or payout features may require additional verification or eligibility checks.
Account security
Sign-in is handled through Undiscovered One Accounts using Supabase-based authentication. Protect your sign-in credentials and recovery methods, keep your contact information current, and use available security options. Never share verification codes or let someone use your account to bypass access or payment rules.
Contact the existing support channel promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. Reasonable identity checks may be needed before account recovery or sensitive changes. Security measures may temporarily restrict access to reduce harm; where appropriate, their basis and a path to review should be explained.
Listeners and creators
Listeners may discover, stream, follow, build playlists, subscribe, join creator memberships, and purchase music where those features are available. Access and benefits depend on the relevant account, purchase, subscription, membership, territory, and rights availability.
Creators and artists may upload releases, manage public profiles and release information, view creator dashboards, offer eligible music or memberships, and receive eligible payouts. Being a creator does not guarantee approval of every upload, earnings, a particular audience, or access to every feature. Additional creator agreements and payout rules remain to be adopted.
Creator ownership and the platform license
Creators retain ownership of their music and other original content. Uploading does not transfer copyright to Undiscovered One. You must own or have permission for the recording, composition, artwork, samples, performances, names, and other material necessary for the uses you enable. Accurate credits and rights declarations matter even for music created with AI assistance.
By submitting content, the intended grant is a non-exclusive license only to the extent needed to store, host, reproduce technically necessary copies, encode, stream, make authorized offline playback available, display, promote on or in connection with the service, and facilitate the sales or memberships you authorize. Cloud storage and other operational providers may exercise those permissions only as needed to deliver the service. The scope should match the features and permissions you select, not unrelated exploitation.
This ordinary platform license is not a blanket license to train generative-AI models or to sell your copyright. A materially different use would require a separate, clearly explained authorization where applicable. Removing a release from future sale should end new uses not needed for continuing obligations, while limited permissions may need to continue for legitimate prior purchases, disputes, legal duties, or technical wind-down. Detailed creator license terms must be confirmed in the future Creator Agreement.
User content and participation
Profiles, release descriptions, artwork, playlist information, comments, or other user contributions must be lawful and respect others’ rights where those features are offered. You remain responsible for content you submit and for obtaining required permissions. Publicly submitted material may be visible to others according to the feature; do not post private information you are not authorized to disclose.
Any permission for non-music user content should be limited to operating, displaying, and appropriately promoting the relevant service feature. It should not become a claim to ownership of your work. Undiscovered One may review or remove content that violates applicable rules, subject to appropriate notice, context, and review.
Music purchases and digital ownership
A direct music purchase gives a durable, platform-based digital ownership entitlement for the purchased item under the applicable purchase terms. It is not a transfer of copyright, ownership of the master recording or composition, or permission to redistribute, resell outside an authorized system, commercially exploit, or publicly perform the music beyond what law or a separate license permits.
Offline download means authorized-device offline playback inside Undiscovered One. It does not mean unrestricted MP3 ownership, an exportable unprotected file, or permission to bypass device authorization or copy protection. Access may require a compatible device, an authorized account, and checks reasonably necessary to validate the entitlement; exact device rules should be disclosed when applicable.
Removing music from future sale does not automatically remove legitimate prior purchases. The intended principle is to preserve those entitlements and access where law, rights, and service operation permit. A purchase is nevertheless not a guarantee that every device or service will operate forever, and access can be affected by a court order, a substantiated copyright issue, fraud, a reversed transaction, or other narrowly justified restrictions.
Ordinary account suspension or a ban may limit social participation, creator functions, streaming benefits, or new purchases, but should not automatically confiscate legitimately owned music. Restrictions should distinguish participation from existing ownership and preserve an appropriate access path where lawful and feasible. Exceptions should be tied to the affected entitlement or actual risk rather than used to cancel an entire legitimate library without justification; see the enforcement and termination sections below.
Future transfer and resale
Platform-supported transfer or resale of owned music is planned and is not yet available. A purchase today should not be represented as including a live transfer or resale function. Do not assume you can transfer an account, sell login credentials, or independently transfer an entitlement as a workaround.
If transfer or resale is introduced, eligibility, fees, rights-holder treatment, buyer and seller protections, and transfer consequences will be governed by a separate Digital Ownership & Resale Policy presented before use. Its current page is a placeholder, not an adopted resale agreement or a promise of a launch date.
Music Plus and recurring subscriptions
Music Plus is a subscription offering distinct from direct music purchases. Available benefits, price, billing frequency, any trial or promotion, and renewal terms should be shown before enrollment. Where a subscription is recurring, it renews and charges the authorized payment method at the disclosed interval until canceled, subject to applicable law and the terms actually presented at checkout.
Use the cancellation option available in account or billing management, or contact support if you cannot access it. Unless a disclosed plan, refund, or legal requirement provides otherwise, cancellation is intended to stop the next renewal while paid benefits continue through the current paid period. Benefits may end when the subscription expires, a payment fails, a refund changes its state, or the applicable subscription status otherwise no longer permits access.
Canceling Music Plus should not erase music you legitimately purchased directly. Subscription-only streaming or offline benefits are different from owned-music entitlements. Billing disputes, price changes, and renewal notices should follow applicable law; no specific plan price, cancellation interface, or trial entitlement is invented in this draft.
Creator memberships
A creator membership supports or provides access to a creator’s disclosed offering. It is separate from direct music ownership and from Music Plus. A membership does not automatically give permanent ownership of music unless a specific direct purchase or clearly stated entitlement says so.
Benefits, billing frequency, recurring status, cancellation effect, and any limitations should be disclosed before joining. Access to membership-only benefits may end with the membership’s state or paid term; legitimate separate music purchases should remain intact. Creator availability and offerings may change, with appropriate notice and remedies when required. Detailed membership terms remain to be adopted.
Payments, prices, taxes, and refunds
Payments and subscriptions use Stripe. The applicable price, currency, recurring nature if any, and taxes or fees should be disclosed in the purchase flow before you authorize payment. Do not assume all prices include tax or that the same price applies in every region. You must use a payment method you are authorized to use.
Contact support about duplicate charges, missing entitlements, unauthorized transactions, or other purchase problems. Refund and digital-content cancellation rights depend on applicable law, the purchase, and the terms disclosed before checkout. This draft does not impose a blanket no-refund rule, invent a refund deadline, or waive non-waivable consumer rights. A separate Music Purchase & Refund Policy will provide details once adopted.
A refund, chargeback, or reversal may remove the entitlement funded by that transaction or lead to a proportionate investigation. It should not automatically justify taking away unrelated legitimate purchases. You retain your right to dispute a charge with your payment provider; knowingly false disputes or payment fraud may lead to justified restrictions, subject to review where appropriate.
Creator earnings and Stripe Connect
Creator payouts use Stripe Connect and may require identity, tax, business, and bank-account verification. Maintain accurate onboarding information and respond to lawful verification requests. Payout availability depends on eligibility, supported regions, actual transactions, verification, and applicable restrictions.
Revenue allocations, fees, deductions, settlement timing, thresholds, and any reserves must be specified in the relevant creator agreement or payout policy before they apply. This draft does not invent a revenue-share percentage, guaranteed payout date, or minimum earnings. Refunds, disputes, suspected fraud, or legal obligations may affect specific amounts, with a reasonable explanation and review path where appropriate.
The future Creator Agreement and Payout & Revenue Share Policy should distinguish genuine risk-based holds from arbitrary withholding. Stripe’s independent compliance requirements may also affect onboarding or payouts, and Undiscovered One cannot promise to override them.
Intellectual property and copyright complaints
Music, artwork, trademarks, platform software, and other protected material remain owned by their respective rights holders. Permission to use the service does not authorize copying the platform, redistributing protected music, falsely claiming an artist’s identity, or using another person’s protected work outside the relevant permissions.
If you believe material infringes your rights, use the existing support/contact channel and provide enough information to identify the work, the material at issue, your authority, and how to contact you. Do not knowingly submit false claims. Affected creators should have an appropriate opportunity to respond where law permits.
The Copyright / DMCA Policy page is currently a placeholder. Formal notice requirements, any designated agent and address, counter-notice procedures, and jurisdiction-specific rules must be finalized before adoption where applicable. This draft does not claim an appointed DMCA agent, a registered address, or a completed statutory process.
AI-generated and AI-assisted music
AI-generated or AI-assisted music may be allowed when appropriately labeled and when the creator holds the rights needed for its use. Creators should make accurate disclosures about material AI involvement through the labeling options or submission process provided. Do not misrepresent a synthetic voice as an authorized performance or use AI to evade copyright, identity, or fraud rules.
AI use does not remove responsibility for samples, likenesses, compositions, artwork, or other protected material. Uploading does not automatically authorize generative-AI training. Detailed labeling categories, permissions, and transparency procedures will be addressed in the future AI Transparency Policy rather than assumed already live here.
Prohibited conduct
Do not use the platform for unlawful activity, infringement, impersonation, threats, harassment, targeted abuse, fraud, or disclosure of another person’s private information without authority. Do not upload malicious code, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with service operation, bypass security or payment controls, or exploit someone else’s account.
Do not manipulate plays, purchases, recommendations, or payouts through bots, deceptive accounts, collusion, or fraudulent transactions. Do not make false rights declarations, submit knowingly abusive complaints, or misrepresent sponsorship or AI involvement. Lawful criticism, good-faith reports, and genuine appeals should not be treated as abuse merely because they challenge a decision.
Technical access restrictions should not be used to prohibit activity that applicable law affirmatively protects. Detailed content and community standards remain to be adopted and should explain how context and proportionality inform decisions.
Moderation, restrictions, and appeals
Undiscovered One reviews uploaded music and may investigate suspected infringement, fraud, safety concerns, or rule violations. Depending on the issue, proportionate action may include requesting information, restricting a release or feature, removing content, pausing affected payouts, suspending participation, or closing an account. Immediate protective action may be necessary for credible security, legal, or safety risks.
Where appropriate and legally permitted, an important decision should explain the relevant reason, affected content or funds, and available review or appeal. Automated matches or recommendations may inform review but should not be treated as conclusive proof on their own. Use support to ask for review while detailed appeal procedures are being prepared; this draft does not claim a live appeal portal, guaranteed response time, or outcome.
An ordinary ban is not confiscation. Legitimate purchased ownership should be preserved separately from participation restrictions, with an appropriate access path where lawful and feasible. Narrow exceptions may apply to fraudulent or reversed purchases, substantiated copyright restrictions, binding legal requirements, or access measures necessary to address an actual security risk. Decisions should target the affected item or risk and permit appropriate review rather than silently canceling unrelated purchases.
These intended safeguards follow the Digital Bill of Rights. The detailed Account Enforcement & Appeals Policy is not yet adopted. Nothing here prevents compliance with an applicable legal order or requires disclosure of information that would compromise an investigation or another person’s safety.
Discovery and recommendations
Radio, discovery, and recommendations may use personalization, editorial judgment, and automated technology. They are intended to help listeners find music, but there is no guarantee of a particular number of plays, reach, ranking, placement, sales, or creator earnings.
Systems may change as the service evolves. Paid or sponsored placement, if introduced, should be appropriately identified rather than represented as independent discovery. Privacy and fair-opportunity principles should inform the use of listener information and creator performance signals.
Third-party services
The platform depends on services such as Supabase-based authentication, Stripe and Stripe Connect, cloud object storage, and potentially transactional email, recommendation, and content-recognition providers. Some providers have their own terms, verification requirements, and privacy notices, especially where you interact with them directly.
Undiscovered One should remain accountable for the functions it provides and the providers it chooses within its responsibilities. It cannot guarantee a third party’s independent availability or decisions. Links to external services do not transfer your music rights or mean every external statement is endorsed.
Service availability and changes
Features may be changed, maintained, interrupted, or discontinued for technical, rights, legal, or business reasons. Undiscovered One cannot promise uninterrupted playback, compatibility with every device, or permanent operation of every feature. Planned future features, including resale, are not guaranteed launch commitments.
Material changes affecting paid services or purchased access should receive reasonable notice where practicable, and applicable consumer rights and remedies remain available. Changes should distinguish subscription benefits from legitimate purchased entitlements. If continuity becomes impossible, the response should be explained and lawful options considered rather than claiming that a general change clause silently extinguishes ownership.
Practical limits and disclaimers
To the extent applicable law permits, the service is offered subject to ordinary technical and operational limitations. No promise is made that every recommendation will suit you, every upload will be approved, all user-supplied information will be accurate, or participation will produce commercial success.
Nothing in these draft Terms excludes a statutory warranty, consumer protection, refund right, or other responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded. These limits must not be read as overriding an express paid offering or permitting misleading claims about purchased ownership.
Liability and responsibility for claims
Responsibility for loss should depend on applicable law, the cause of the loss, and the parties’ obligations. Any limitation must be reasonable and must not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including fraud or other protected categories where applicable. This draft does not set an arbitrary monetary cap or a blanket waiver of all damages.
Users and creators should be responsible for their own unlawful conduct and knowing rights violations, not for every third-party claim merely because they have an account. This draft does not impose a broad indemnity requiring users to fund all platform disputes. Any later, narrowly tailored creator indemnity must be clearly explained, appropriate to the creator’s role, and finalized before acceptance. Final liability provisions require review before public adoption.
Termination, closure, and retained ownership
You may request account closure through available account tools or the existing support channel. Account closure and cancellation of recurring billing must be handled together with clear instructions; do not assume clearing browser data cancels a subscription. Outstanding transactions, earnings, disputes, and lawful retention duties may need to be resolved after closure.
Undiscovered One may terminate participation for a justified reason under applicable rules and law, subject to appropriate notice and review. Ordinary suspension or a ban should preserve legitimately purchased entitlements rather than automatically erase them. Fraud, chargebacks, substantiated copyright issues, binding legal requirements, or necessary security restrictions may affect the specific entitlement or access path, as described above.
Voluntary irreversible deletion can affect account identification and authorized access. Before closure, support should explain those consequences and any available way to preserve or arrange access. This draft does not promise unrestricted music exports, a live transfer feature, or a recovery system that has not been implemented. Necessary purchase, ownership, payout, tax, fraud, and legal records may remain even after personal profile information is removed.
Permissions and obligations should continue after closure only as needed for legitimate prior purchases, pending payouts, disputes, legal compliance, and an appropriate technical wind-down. Closure is not an automatic transfer of creator copyright or permission for new unrelated content use.
To be finalized before public adoption
Formal contracting entity: [Company legal name]. Registration details, legal identity, and [Company mailing address] must be confirmed. This draft does not substitute the brand name for a verified legal entity.
Governing law and dispute venue: to be finalized before public adoption. No state, country, court, or exclusive venue is selected by this draft. Applicable non-waivable consumer and local protections must be considered.
Arbitration and class-action waiver: to be finalized before public adoption. This draft imposes no arbitration requirement or class-action waiver. Any proposed provision must be assessed for fairness and legality, clearly presented, and accompanied by any legally required choices before it could apply.
You may contact support first to try to resolve a concern, but that invitation does not remove a right to contact a regulator, bring a lawful claim, or use a legally available dispute process. These open items must not be treated as already agreed terms.
Changes, notice, and draft history
October 7, 2026: this comprehensive draft replaced the Terms of Service placeholder. It remains not yet publicly adopted and has no effective date. Finalization must confirm the actual service behavior, formal legal details, eligibility, and applicable consumer requirements.
Once Terms are adopted, meaningful revisions should state what changed and when they take effect, with appropriate advance notice and a valid acceptance or choice process where required. Urgent legal or security changes may require a different notice timetable, but should still be explained when possible. Continuing to read this draft is not acceptance of future terms.
The Digital Bill of Rights is intended to guide changes toward stronger protections. Material reductions to established rights should not occur silently or be hidden in a routine update. The future Policy Change Log should distinguish drafting activity from publicly adopted changes.
Contact and related documents
For account, purchase, subscription, creator, or enforcement questions, use the existing Undiscovered One support/contact channel in the service or on the main website. Formal legal contact details remain [Legal contact] and [Company mailing address], to be confirmed before adoption. Never send passwords or full payment credentials in a support request.
The Privacy Policy explains personal-information handling, the Cookie Policy explains browser and device storage, and the Digital Bill of Rights sets out the foundational approach to ownership, privacy, discovery, and fair treatment. All are clearly marked drafts. The other linked policy pages remain placeholders until intentionally completed and adopted.
