StemScribe is an audio processing platform that provides stem separation (isolating vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments from audio recordings) and AI-powered music transcription (generating sheet music, tablature, and chord charts from audio). The Service uses machine learning models to process audio files you upload.
You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. If you are between 13 and 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may only use the Service with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms.
By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these age requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
Some features of the Service require you to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete registration information and to keep this information up to date. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
The Service may be offered in multiple tiers, which currently include:
We reserve the right to modify, add, or remove tiers and their features at any time. Pricing and feature details are available on the Service's pricing page. Changes to paid tier pricing will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle, and we will provide reasonable notice before any price increase.
Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as selected). You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial billing periods, except as required by applicable law.
You retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the audio files you upload to the Service ("User Content") and in the processed outputs the Service generates from your uploads ("Output"), subject to the underlying rights in the original audio.
We do not claim ownership of your User Content or Output. The separated stems, transcriptions, chord charts, and other outputs belong to you, subject to the rights of the original copyright holders.
By uploading User Content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to process, temporarily store, and transmit your User Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you. This license terminates when your User Content is deleted from our systems.
You represent and warrant that you own or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions for any audio you upload to the Service. This includes the right to make copies and create derivative works.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service does not violate the rights of any third party, including copyright holders, recording artists, music publishers, and record labels.

The Service processes audio but does not grant you any rights in the underlying musical compositions or sound recordings. If you process audio that contains copyrighted material, you are responsible for ensuring your use of the output complies with applicable copyright law, including any applicable fair use or fair dealing provisions.
If you provide us with feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that feedback for any purpose without obligation to you.
We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement.
