Terms of service

DADAAUDIO is provided by Daniel Angelucci, VAT number IT04021720547, Strada Vicinale di Corposodo 13, 06062 Città della Pieve (PG), Italy. You can write to us at support@dadaaudio.com.

“DADAAUDIO”, “we” and “us” mean the provider of the service named above. “You” means the person or organisation using the service.

DADAAUDIO helps people who make music keep their catalogue in order and share it. Today the service is Aerie: a library for your tracks, their versions, files and rights data, with AI tagging, search, contacts, share links, comments, licence requests and statistics about your links. Plume (websites) and Perch (client projects) are in development: they are not available yet and cannot be bought.

Aerie is in early access. Everyone who joins before launch is on the Tester plan: every feature, up to 500 tracks, free. At launch every Tester workspace moves to the Free plan, with nothing deleted, and testers receive a discount code as described on the pricing page.

• You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
• You sign in with a one-time code sent to your email, or with Google. Keep access to your email and Google account safe: whoever controls them can sign in as you.
• Give us a real email address and keep it up to date: we use it for sign-in codes and for messages about your account and payments.
• Your music lives in a workspace. The workspace’s owners decide who joins it and with which role (owner, admin, editor or viewer), and they are responsible for what the members they invite do in it.

The plans, their limits and their prices are on the pricing page. Each workspace has its own plan. Every workspace keeps the Free plan, forever, with the limits shown there. Prices are shown in euros and exclude VAT. You pay in euros in the euro area, in pounds in the UK and in US dollars everywhere else (the same amounts as in euros; pounds are slightly lower). The exact amount, with any VAT or sales tax, is shown at checkout.

Paid plans start at launch. If something about a plan changes, we will tell you before it affects you; a new price never changes a period you have already paid for.

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Polar (Polar Software, Inc.). Polar is the Merchant of Record for all our orders: it sells the subscription to you, takes the payment and handles refunds. For anything about your service or your account, write to us.

In practice: when you buy a plan, you buy it from Polar (Polar Software, Inc.), which resells it to you, takes the payment, applies and pays VAT or sales tax, and sends you invoices and receipts. Polar’s own buyer terms apply to the purchase. Your card or payment details go to Polar and its payment processor and never reach us.

• Subscriptions renew automatically, monthly or yearly, until you cancel. You can cancel at any time, and you keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for.
• Moving to a bigger plan, or adding seats, applies at once: you pay the difference for the days left in the period. Moving to a smaller plan applies at the end of the period you paid for.
• If a payment fails, everything keeps working for 5 days while Polar tries again. After that, the workspace follows the Free plan’s rules until the payment goes through. Nothing is deleted.
• If your workspace goes over a plan’s limits (for example after moving to a smaller plan), your music stays visible, playable and shareable; you just can’t add new tracks until you are back under the limit or move up.

Refunds are explained in our refund policy.

You keep every right to the music, files, texts and data you put in DADAAUDIO (“your content”). We do not claim any ownership of it, we never act as your publisher, and we never use it to make music or to train AI models.

You give us only the permission we need to run the service for you: to store your content, make copies of it (for example a listening copy, a waveform or a copy with your voice tag), analyse it (including with the AI services described in our privacy policy), and show or send it to the people you choose. This permission ends when you delete your content or close your account, apart from copies we must keep for a short time in backups or by law.

You can download your files and export your metadata whenever you want.

Aerie uses AI to listen to your music and suggest tags, lyrics, explicit-content flags, tempo, key and the themes of the lyrics, to power search by meaning, and to read your voice tag aloud if you ask for an AI voice. These results are produced automatically and can be wrong. They are yours to change, and your edits always win. Check anything that matters (for example lyrics or credits) before you rely on it or send it to someone.

When you share music, you decide who receives it and what they can do: listen, download, comment, send you files, ask for a licence, or save it to their own DADAAUDIO account. The pages of your links show what you allow. You are responsible for the links you create and for whom you send them to.

Your links tell you who opened them and what they listened to or downloaded, as explained in our privacy policy. People who receive your links do not need an account and never pay.

When you add people to your contacts or share with them, you are responsible for having a good reason to use their details, as data protection law requires. We handle those details only to run the service for you.

You agree not to use DADAAUDIO to:

• upload or share material you don’t have the right to use, or that infringes someone else’s copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights;
• upload anything illegal, or malware, or content meant to deceive or harm people;
• send spam or unwanted messages through share emails, replies or licence requests;
• get around plan limits, access controls or link passwords, or access other people’s workspaces without permission;
• probe, overload or disrupt the service, or copy it, scrape it or reverse engineer it beyond what the law allows;
• use the service, or content taken from it, to train AI models.

If you break these rules we may remove the content concerned or suspend the account, as described below.

If you believe something shared through DADAAUDIO infringes your rights, write to support@dadaaudio.com with the link, the work concerned, why you hold the rights and how to reach you. We will look into it quickly, may disable the content or the link, and will tell the person who shared it. We close the accounts of people who repeatedly share material that isn’t theirs.

We work hard to keep DADAAUDIO available, fast and safe, and we keep backups. But Aerie is in early access and no online service is available all the time: there may be interruptions for maintenance, updates or reasons beyond our control. Keep your own copies of important files, as you would with any online service.

The service will keep improving, and features may change. If a change takes away something important that you are paying for, we will tell you in advance, and you can cancel and ask for a refund of the unused part of your period.

You can stop using DADAAUDIO at any time. To close your account, write to support@dadaaudio.com from your account’s email address; before you do, you can download your files and export your metadata. If you own a workspace with other members, tell us whether to hand it over to one of them or close it.

We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, that puts other people or the service at risk, or when the law requires it. Unless it would be unlawful or unsafe, we will tell you why first and give you time to fix the problem and to take out your content. If we close a paid account without a serious breach on your part, we refund the unused part of your period.

After an account is closed, we delete its content as described in our privacy policy.

Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility where the law doesn’t allow it to be limited, including for fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence, for death or personal injury, or for the rights consumers have under the law of the country where they live (such as the legal guarantee that a digital service conforms to what was agreed).

Within those limits: if you use DADAAUDIO for your business, we are not responsible for indirect losses such as lost profits, lost opportunities or lost goodwill, and our total responsibility for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the service in the 12 months before the claim (or €100 if you paid nothing).

We may update these terms as the service grows. When a change matters, we will email you at least 30 days before it takes effect, and the date at the top of this page will change. If you don’t agree, you can close your account before then and get a refund of the unused part of any paid period. Using the service after the change means you accept the new terms.

These terms are governed by Italian law. If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection given to you by the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts of your country. If you use DADAAUDIO for your business, the courts of Perugia, Italy, have jurisdiction.

If something goes wrong, write to us first: most problems are solved faster that way.
