Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Nyze LLC ("Nyze", "we", "us", or "our") governing your use of the Nyze macOS application, the nyze.xyz website, shared link pages at nyze.xyz/p/..., and all related services (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, clicking to accept, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. Please read Section 15 carefully: it contains an arbitration agreement and class action waiver that affect how disputes between us are resolved.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (16 if you live in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom) to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only if your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" includes that entity.

2. The Service; Beta Status

Nyze helps music producers organize beat libraries and share beats with artists through hosted links, with playback analytics for the packs they send.

3. Your Account

You must provide accurate information when creating your account and keep it up to date. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your credentials secure. Notify us immediately at support@nyze.xyz if you suspect unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms (see Section 12).

4. Your Content and Ownership

"Your Content" means everything you submit to the Service: audio files, file and folder names, metadata, artwork, artist contact details, pack titles, and anything else you upload or enter.

You own your beats. Full stop. Nyze claims no ownership of Your Content. Nothing in these Terms transfers any copyright, master rights, publishing rights, or any other intellectual property in your music to Nyze, and we will never sell, license, or distribute your music to anyone except as you direct through the Service.

License to operate the Service. So that we can legally do the things you ask the Service to do, you grant Nyze a limited, worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty free license to host, store, transcode (for example, converting your file to FLAC for streaming), generate waveform previews of, reproduce, transmit, stream, and display Your Content, solely (a) to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service, and (b) to deliver Your Content to the people you share it with. This license ends when you delete the relevant content or your account, except that (i) deletion from active systems and backups may take up to 30 days, (ii) the license continues for content already delivered to recipients (for example, a beat an artist downloaded before you revoked the link), and (iii) we may retain content as required by law. We do not use Your Content to train artificial intelligence models.

5. Your Responsibilities for Content and Contacts

You represent and warrant that:

• you own Your Content or have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to upload and share it through the Service, including with respect to any samples, interpolations, loops, or other third party material it contains;
• Your Content and your use of the Service do not infringe or violate any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights, or any law;
• for every person whose contact details you add to Nyze (such as artist names, email addresses, phone numbers, and social links), you have a genuine relationship with that person or their permission to store and use their details, and you will honor any request they make to stop contacting them;
• you will not upload contact details obtained from purchased lists, scraping, or any source other than your own genuine professional relationships.

You are solely responsible for Your Content, for the people you choose to share it with, and for your dealings with artists and other recipients. Nyze is a tool; when you share a pack, you, not Nyze, are the one sharing it.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to help anyone else to:

• upload or share content that is unlawful, infringing, malicious (including malware), or that you do not have rights to;
• use the Service to harass, spam, defraud, or deceive anyone, or to send unsolicited bulk communications;
• attempt to access another user's account, content, or data, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service;
• circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features, rate limits, signed URLs, link revocation, or access controls;
• scrape, harvest, or enumerate links, pages, or data from the Service;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app except where such restriction is prohibited by law;
• resell, rent, or offer the Service to third parties as a service bureau;
• use the Service to build a competing product, or use automated tools to place excessive load on the Service;
• misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or impersonate any person.

We may investigate violations and may remove content, revoke links, throttle usage, or suspend or terminate accounts, at our discretion, with or without notice.

7. Shared Links (Nyze Links)

When you create a pack link, understand how it works:

• Anyone with the link can open it. A pack page requires no account or password; the unguessable link itself is the access control. Anyone your recipient forwards the link to will see the same page, including the pack history previously sent to that artist. Share links only with people you intend to reach.
• Revocation takes effect quickly but not instantly. Revoking a link makes the page unavailable immediately, but streaming or download URLs already issued may continue to work for up to about 30 minutes.
• Disabling downloads limits convenience, not capability. When downloads are off, the page hides download buttons, but anyone who can stream audio can, with enough technical effort, capture it. Nyze cannot prevent a recipient from retaining or copying content you have shared with them, and we are not responsible for what recipients do with content you shared.
• Listener analytics are estimates. Activity is tied to the link, not to a verified identity, and may be inaccurate or incomplete (for example if a link is forwarded).
• Links live on our infrastructure. Links may stop working if your account is terminated, if content is removed under Section 8, or if the Service is discontinued.

8. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual property rights and expect users to do the same. If you believe content hosted on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@nyze.xyz (subject "DMCA Notice") or by mail to our designated Copyright Agent: Nyze LLC, 1741 Newnan Crossing Blvd E, Ste I #2012, Newnan, GA 30265, USA, including: (a) identification of the copyrighted work; (b) the URL or identification of the allegedly infringing material; (c) your contact information; (d) a statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and (f) your physical or electronic signature.

We will remove or disable access to material identified in a valid notice, notify the user who posted it, and accept counter notices as provided by 17 U.S.C. § 512. We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. Misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages under Section 512(f).

9. Third Party Services

The Service interoperates with third party services you choose to connect, such as Google (sign in) and Dropbox (library sync), and app downloads are delivered through GitHub. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them. If you disconnect a third party service, features that depend on it may stop working.

10. AI Assisted Features

Some features use artificial intelligence to parse file names and suggest metadata or tips. Output may be inaccurate; review it before relying on it. As described in our Privacy Policy, only file names and library summaries are processed for these features, never your audio.

11. Fees, Subscriptions, and Automatic Renewal

11.1 Paid plans

From the start date announced on our pricing page, using the Nyze app requires a paid subscription, unless your account has a free trial or a free access grant from us, such as beta access. Pack pages stay free for the artists and listeners who open them. Current prices are always shown at nyze.xyz/pricing.

11.2 Price and billing cycle

Nyze is offered as a monthly plan at $5 per month and an annual plan at $50 per year, in USD. The price and billing cycle that apply to you are the ones shown at checkout when you subscribe. You are billed in advance, at the start of each billing period, through our payment processor, Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number.

11.3 Automatic renewal

11.4 Free trial

A new subscription starts with a 14 day free trial, limited to one per account. A payment method is required to start the trial, and it is not charged during the trial. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your paid subscription begins automatically when the trial ends, your payment method is charged the price shown at checkout, and the subscription then renews as described in Section 11.3. We email a reminder before the trial ends. Cancel during the trial, the same way as in Section 11.3, and you pay nothing.

11.5 Refunds

Except where the law requires otherwise, payments are non refundable. Monthly subscription payments are not refunded, and canceling stops the next renewal rather than refunding the current period. If you are charged for an annual plan, you may ask for a refund within 14 days of that charge by emailing us. Refunds are granted at Nyze's discretion, and we may decline a request where we see abuse, such as repeated subscribe and refund cycles. To ask for a refund, email support@nyze.xyz from your account address. Nothing in this Section limits a cancellation or refund right that the law where you live gives you and that cannot be waived.

11.6 Taxes

Prices do not include taxes unless we say so. Where sales tax, VAT, GST, or a similar tax applies to your purchase, it is added at checkout and shown to you before you pay.

11.7 Price changes

We may change our prices. If the price of your plan changes, we will email your account address at least 30 days before the new price applies to you, and it applies from your first renewal after that notice period. If you do not agree to the new price, cancel before that renewal and you will not be charged it.

11.8 Failed payments

If a payment fails, we retry the payment method on file and email you. Your access continues for up to 7 days while we retry. If the payment still has not gone through, your subscription ends or is paused and paid features lock until you update your payment method. A failed payment does not by itself delete your account or your data.

11.9 If you used Nyze during the beta

Nothing you used for free during the beta converts to a paid charge without your explicit agreement. We will email you at least 30 days before any fee applies to your account, and you are only ever charged if you choose a plan and complete checkout yourself. If you decide not to subscribe, paid features may lock once that notice period has passed. You can still get a copy of your data and delete your account, as described in the Privacy Policy.

11.10 Free access

We may give some accounts free access, for example beta testers. Free access is not a subscription and does not renew into a paid charge. We may end a free access grant, and we will give at least 30 days notice by email before we do.

12. Term and Termination

By you: you may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from within the app.

By us: we may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, if required by law, if your use poses a risk to the Service or others, or upon discontinuation of the Service. Where practical, we will give reasonable notice and an opportunity to export Your Content.

Effect of termination: your share links stop working, your license grants to us end as described in Section 4, and we will delete Your Content as described in the Privacy Policy (generally within 30 days), except as retention is required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 4 through 8 and 13 through 17) survive termination.

13. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and noninfringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. Without limiting the foregoing, Nyze does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error free, or free of data loss, that links will remain available, that analytics will be accurate, or that defects will be corrected. You use the Service at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of Liability; Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Nyze and its owners, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or content (including loss of audio files or broken links), arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms, under any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Nyze's total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) fifty U.S. dollars ($50) and (b) the amounts you paid Nyze in the 12 months before the event giving rise to liability.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Indemnification. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Nyze and its owners, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Your Content, including claims that it infringes any third party rights; (b) contact details you added and any communications you direct at those contacts; (c) your violation of these Terms or of any law; or (d) your misuse of the Service. We will promptly notify you of any such claim and may participate in the defense at our own expense.

15. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at support@nyze.xyz describing the dispute, and both sides will try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days.

Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve it informally, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court or (b) seek injunctive relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service. The arbitration will be conducted in English, by a single arbitrator, and may be held by videoconference. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver. All disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only. Neither you nor Nyze may bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative action.

Opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@nyze.xyz with the subject "Arbitration Opt Out" within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and account email. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

Governing law and venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict of laws rules. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and Nyze consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Coweta County, Georgia.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app, the website, or by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect, and the "Last updated" date above will change. If you continue using the Service after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your account before the effective date. The version of the Terms you accepted, and when, is recorded with your account.

17. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Nyze about the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
• Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest remains in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Export compliance. You may not use the Service in violation of U.S. export laws or where you are barred from receiving it.
• Notices. We may provide notices through the app, the website, or the email on your account. Legal notices to Nyze go to support@nyze.xyz.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
