Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 14, 2025

Session ("we," "us," or "our") is a music learning and creation platform powered by generative AI. These Terms of Service govern your use of our platform and services. By accessing or using Session, you agree to be bound by these terms and all applicable laws and regulations.

1. Who Can Use Session

Session is currently available only to users in the United States. You must be at least 13 years old to use the platform. If you’re under 18, you may only use Session with the consent of a parent or guardian.

2. Your Account

To access Session, you’ll sign in using Google. Additional sign-in methods may be added later. You’re responsible for keeping your account secure and for all activity under your login.

3. Beta Terms

Session is in beta, which means:

• The product is under active development and may change frequently.
• Features, availability, and stability are not guaranteed.
• We may suspend, restrict, or remove access at any time, for any reason.
• We are not responsible for any data loss, including loss of generated content (e.g., songs, MIDI files, tablature). Please export and back up your work externally.

We welcome your feedback but make no promises about incorporating it or providing support during this phase.

4. Your Outputs and Rights

Session uses proprietary generative artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) to help you create musical compositions based on your input (e.g., genre selection, prompts, or interactions). These technologies generate content autonomously, without human review.

As a result:

• Outputs may vary in quality, accuracy, and originality.
• You are responsible for reviewing and deciding how to use anything you generate.

A. Ownership of Outputs

You own the musical outputs you create and export from Session during beta. This includes downloadable compositions, MIDI files, and tablature.

B. Commercial Use

You may use your exported files for any legal purpose, including commercial projects like recordings, licensing, and performances. You are solely responsible for ensuring your use complies with copyright and other laws.

C. Our IP

Session’s software, models, algorithms, training data, codebase, and interface are proprietary. You receive no rights to our underlying technology—only to your exported outputs.

D. Copyright Compliance and Creative Risk

Our music-generation models are designed to be copyright compliant. They do not reproduce training data or generate copyrighted music.

However, we also use third-party LLMs to support musical structure, text generation, and interaction. These models are not owned or controlled by us, and we can’t guarantee the copyright status of their outputs.

By using Session, you acknowledge:

• Some outputs may unintentionally resemble existing musical works or styles, including those protected by copyright. This is an inherent risk in using generative AI.
• Outputs are not guaranteed to be unique, and other users may generate similar results.
• You are solely responsible for evaluating and using outputs appropriately.
• Session does not review outputs for copyright or legal issues and does not provide legal advice or warranties regarding outputs.
• We do not indemnify you for any claims related to your use of generated content.

E. Third-Party Content and Licensing

Session does not grant you rights to third-party music, recordings, samples, or likenesses. You own your generated files, but not any actual recordings unless you created them yourself.

F. Use of Your Content to Improve Session

To help us maintain and improve Session, we may use your Inputs (e.g., genre selections, text prompts) and Outputs (e.g., generated MIDI files or tablature) to enhance the performance, safety, and relevance of our models and features. This includes activities like debugging, product refinement, and model tuning. We do not use your Inputs or Outputs to train publicly available models or to generate outputs for other users.

G. Post-Beta Changes

We may revise these terms—including output ownership or licensing—when Session exits beta. We’ll notify you of any material changes. Continued use after updates means you accept the new terms.

5. Acceptable Use

A. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use Session to violate laws or third-party rights.
• Generate misleading, harmful, or infringing content.
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or copy how Session works.
• Interfere with the platform’s operation or integrity.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms.

B. DMCA Takedown Requests

If you believe content on Session infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown request to hello@sessionmusic.app with:

• Your name, contact information, and electronic or physical signature
• Identification of the copyrighted work
• A description of the allegedly infringing material and its location on Session
• A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you’re authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

We will review valid notices and respond in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

6. Third-Party Services

Session uses third-party infrastructure providers. Your use of Session may also be subject to those providers’ terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their services.

7. Disclaimers

Session is provided “as is” and “as available” during beta. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, or that the platform will be uninterrupted or error-free. Because Session is in beta, features and outputs may change unexpectedly or perform inconsistently. You use the platform at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for evaluating outputs for their suitability in your specific context. We do not guarantee that outputs will be accurate, original, or suitable for your intended use.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Session and its affiliates, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including damages for lost profits, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses—even if we’ve been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability under these Terms will not exceed one hundred dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of certain damages, so this section may not apply to you in full. Where it does not apply, it will be enforced to the maximum extent allowed under your local laws.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Session, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

• Your use of Session or your generated content,
• Your violation of these Terms, or
• Your infringement or violation of any intellectual property or other rights of any third party.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims.

10. Modifications

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll post the revised version and update the effective date. Continued use after that means you accept the new version.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. You agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of Session will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California. You consent to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts and waive any objections based on inconvenience or forum non conveniens.
