UPDATED: 03/09/2026

AGREEMENT TO TERMS

This agreement governs your use of the tunedrop Platform (“Platform”) and any other services made available at tunedrop (“Website”) and its mobile application (“App”) (Website and App collectively referred to as the “Platform”). By using the Platform, you agree to be bound by this agreement which forms a binding contractual agreement between you, the User, and us, tunedrop (“tunedrop”, “we” or “us”).

In this agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

  • “Content” means audio, text, photos, pictures, graphics, comments, and other content, data or information uploaded by a User to the Platform.
  • “Track” means a music track or audio file uploaded by a User to the Platform.
  • “Profile” means the public-facing artist page accessible at tunedrop.app/username.
  • “User” or “Artist” means any person who registers for and uses the Platform.

If you access or download our mobile application from the Apple App Store, you agree to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement and any Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms of Service.

BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT AND USING THE PLATFORM, YOU ACCEPT SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL CONTENT YOU UPLOAD. If you upload, distribute, or make available any music, audio, or other Content on the Platform that you do not own or do not have the legal right to use, distribute, or license, you bear all legal liability arising from that upload, including but not limited to claims of copyright infringement, DMCA takedown actions, civil lawsuits, statutory damages, and attorneys’ fees. tunedrop assumes no liability whatsoever for unauthorized uploads. You agree that tunedrop shall have no obligation to verify the ownership or licensing status of any Content you upload, and that you are solely responsible for obtaining all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions before uploading any Content to the Platform.

HOW IT WORKS

  • (Sign Up & Create Your Profile) Users sign up for an account and choose a unique username. This username becomes the URL for their public artist profile (e.g. tunedrop.app/your-name).
  • (Upload Tracks) Users can upload audio tracks to the Platform. Each track can include a title, description, and can be set as public or private. Upload limits vary by subscription tier.
  • (Share Your Profile) Public tracks are visible on your artist profile page. Anyone can visit your profile and listen to your public tracks without needing an account.
  • (Comments) Authenticated users may leave comments on public tracks. Track owners can manage and moderate comments on their own tracks.
  • (Hosting Service) tunedrop is a music hosting platform. tunedrop does not act as a distributor, record label, or music publisher. tunedrop has no obligations or liabilities relating to any agreements or arrangements between Users and third parties.
