Terms of Service

1. About these terms

StemSpace is run by Leonardo Rayner, doing business as StemSpace (“StemSpace”, “we”, “us”), in Georgia, United States. By creating an account or using StemSpace you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use StemSpace.

You must be at least 13 years old. To buy a paid plan you must be old enough to make a binding contract where you live. If you use StemSpace for a business, you confirm you can accept these Terms for it.

2. Your account

Give accurate information, confirm your email address, and keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens on your account. Tell us at support@stemspace.io if you think someone else has got into it. One person should not share an account with others, and you may not make accounts to get around a suspension or a limit.

There are two kinds of account: Loop Creators, who publish loops, kits and other releases, and Producers, who browse, follow and download.

3. What StemSpace is

StemSpace is a place for loop makers to publish and for producers to find and download. We provide the website, storage, previews and tools. We do not make the releases, and we are not a party to the agreement between a Loop Creator and a Producer who downloads their release.

4. Your content

You own it. Your releases, audio, pictures, text, messages and comments (“your content”) stay yours.

What you let us do. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, process and show your content, and to make the versions the site needs, such as streaming copies, waveforms, preview clips and preview videos (including adding the producer tag you chose). We use this licence only to run and promote StemSpace and to deliver your releases to the people your terms allow. It ends when you delete the content, except for backup copies that are removed on their normal schedule, and copies that people already downloaded under a valid agreement.

What you promise. You promise that you made your content or have every right needed to share it here, that it does not break anyone’s rights or the law, and that your samples declaration on each release is true. Do not upload loops or samples made by others unless you have the right to share them in the way you describe.

5. Loops you download

Each Loop Creator sets the terms for their releases, and you see them before you download. Downloading means you accept those terms, and we keep a record of that agreement (who, which version of the terms, and when). StemSpace does not give you any rights to a loop beyond what the Loop Creator’s terms give you. Follow them.

6. Rules

You may not:

• upload or share anything that infringes someone’s copyright, trademark or other rights;
• harass, threaten or discriminate against anyone, or post hateful, sexual or illegal content;
• pretend to be another person or business;
• send spam, scams or unwanted bulk messages, or use referral codes in a dishonest way;
• upload malware, or try to break, overload or probe our systems;
• scrape the site, or copy audio in ways the site does not offer;
• remove or get around previews, producer tags, plan limits, or sign-in protection.

7. Copyright complaints

We respond to copyright notices under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act. How to send one, and how to answer one, is on our Copyright and takedowns page. We take down a release when we get a complete notice, tell its owner, and restore it if the owner sends a valid counter-notice and the sender does not go to court. An account with three standing notices is suspended. This is our policy for repeat infringers.

8. Plans, trials and billing

• The Free plan costs nothing and has no card. It has a small storage limit and cannot charge for releases.
• Starter and Pro are paid plans, billed monthly or yearly. Prices and storage are on the pricing page.
• A paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial. A card is needed to start it. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, we charge your card and the plan renews.
• A paid plan renews automatically each month or year at the price shown, until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in billing settings. It then stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
• Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
• If a payment fails, your plan stays on while Stripe retries. If it still fails, your account goes back to the Free plan.
• We may change prices. We will tell you before a new price applies to you, and you can cancel before then.
• Prices may not include taxes. Where tax applies, it is added at checkout.
• If your files are over your plan’s storage limit, we may stop new uploads until you are under it. We will not delete your files without telling you first.
• Refunds are covered in our Refund Policy.
• Referral rewards are a credit on your bill, not cash, and we may take them back if they were earned dishonestly.

9. Payments between people

Features such as buying a release or joining a creator’s Premium membership may be added. Where they are, the Loop Creator is the seller, they are responsible for their own taxes, and extra terms will be shown before you use them.

10. Moderation and ending an account

You can close your account at any time by emailing support@stemspace.io. We may remove content, limit features, or suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms or the law, puts others at risk, or is the subject of valid copyright notices. When we can, we tell you why. Anyone can report content from its page, and we review reports. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as 4, 11, 12 to 15) survive.

11. Our property

The StemSpace name, logo and software belong to us. These Terms do not give you any right to them. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.

12. No promises about the service

StemSpace is provided “as is” and “as available”. We work hard to keep it running and your files safe, but we do not promise it will always work, be free of errors, or never lose data. Keep your own copies of your files. We do not check every upload and are not responsible for what users post.

13. Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, or lost profits, data or goodwill. Our total liability to you for anything connected to StemSpace is limited to the larger of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US$100. Some places do not allow these limits, so they apply only as far as your local law lets them.

14. If a claim is made because of you

If someone makes a claim against us because of your content or because you broke these Terms, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of dealing with it, as far as the law allows.

15. Law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Georgia and applicable US federal law. Please email us first at legal@stemspace.io so we can try to solve the problem. If we cannot, the state and federal courts in Georgia will decide it, and you and we agree to those courts.

16. Changes

We may update these Terms. For important changes we will email you or show a notice on the site at least 14 days before they apply. If you keep using StemSpace after that, you accept the new Terms. If you do not accept them, you can close your account.
