These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and DeepGrooves Music Technologies LLC (“DeepGrooves,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or using the DeepGrooves websites, web application, or related services (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
1. Eligibility and accounts
You must be legally capable of entering this agreement and provide accurate account information. You are responsible for protecting your credentials and for activity under your account. Notify support@deepgrooves.app promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
2. The Service
DeepGrooves provides tools for organizing, understanding, valuing, sharing, and enjoying physical music collections. Features, catalog coverage, external data, and availability may change over time. Market values, collectibility information, recommendations, and AI-generated responses are informational and may be incomplete or inaccurate; they are not professional appraisals or guarantees.
3. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation
Paid access is billed at the price and interval shown when you subscribe. Taxes may apply. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before renewal. You may cancel future renewal through the available account or support process. Except where required by law or expressly stated at purchase, charges already incurred are non-refundable.
4. Your content and collection data
You retain ownership of information and original content you submit. You grant us a limited license to host, process, reproduce, and display that content only as needed to operate, secure, and improve the Service and provide features you request. You represent that you have the right to submit the content.
5. Acceptable use
You may not misuse the Service, interfere with its operation, access another user’s data, evade limits or security controls, upload unlawful or malicious material, use automated access beyond documented interfaces, reverse engineer protected portions of the Service except where law permits, or use the Service to violate another person’s rights.
6. AI-assisted features
When you request an AI-assisted feature, DeepGrooves may send the prompt and limited collection context needed to provide that feature to an AI service provider such as OpenAI. Depending on the feature, this context may include shortlisted album titles and artists, recent listening history, play counts, last-played dates, ranking signals, cached genre or mood descriptions, and the genre or mood you selected. We limit the information sent to what is reasonably needed for the requested result. By using an AI-assisted feature, you authorize this processing as described here and in our Privacy Policy.
AI output may be inaccurate and should be reviewed before you rely on it. You remain responsible for decisions made using recommendations or generated content. AI features do not provide legal, financial, insurance, authentication, or professional appraisal advice.
7. Third-party services and metadata
The Service may use or link to third-party services and music-data sources. Their services and content are governed by their own terms. DeepGrooves is not affiliated with or endorsed by Discogs, MusicBrainz, Spotify, or their respective owners, and we do not guarantee third-party data or availability.
8. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, branding, and original documentation, is owned by DeepGrooves Music Technologies LLC or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not transfer ownership to you.
9. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary for security, nonpayment, material violation of these Terms, legal compliance, or protection of the Service and its users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
10. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR THIRD-PARTY DATA WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE, SECURE, COMPLETE, OR ERROR-FREE.
11. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DEEPGROOVES MUSIC TECHNOLOGIES LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, PERSONNEL, AND PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, OR GOODWILL. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute not resolved informally will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in New Jersey, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
13. Changes
We may update these Terms as the Service or legal requirements change. We will update the date above and provide additional notice for material changes. Continued use after revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
