1. License grant
Subject to these terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on iPhone devices that you own or control, for your own personal singing-practice purposes. This license is granted by us as the developer; your installation of the App is also subject to Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement.
2. What the App does and what it is not
Suede Sing performs on-device acoustic analysis of singing voice, including pitch tracking, spectral feature extraction, register classification, range tracking, and the recommendation of practice exercises drawn from a curated library. The measurements and recommendations the App produces are provided for educational and self-directed practice purposes only.
The App is not a medical device. The App does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any vocal disorder, injury, or medical condition. If you experience pain, persistent hoarseness, vocal fatigue, or other symptoms while using your voice, consult a qualified medical professional. The App's outputs do not substitute for professional vocal coaching, speech-language pathology, or otolaryngology care.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation.
- Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App.
- Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices in the App.
- Use the App in any manner that violates applicable law or infringes the rights of others.
- Use the App to record audio of any person without their knowledge and consent where such consent is required by law.
4. Your content
The App processes your singing audio entirely on your device. We do not receive, store, or have access to your audio recordings or to your TonePrint measurements. You retain all rights to your singing voice and any audio you produce while using the App.
Should a future version of the App offer an opt-in feature to share your TonePrint or recordings with us — for example, with a vocal coach you choose to invite — your participation in that feature will be governed by additional terms presented at the time of opt-in. v1.0 of the App offers no such feature.
5. Intellectual property
The App, including its software, design, content, exercise library, and the trademarks "Suede Sing", "TonePrint", and "Suede AI", is owned by JC Investment Group LLC or its licensors and is protected by United States and international intellectual property laws. Nothing in these terms transfers any intellectual property right to you other than the limited license described above.
6. Updates and changes
We may release updates, bug fixes, and new versions of the App from time to time. Some updates may add, remove, or change features. We may also discontinue the App at our discretion. We will not knowingly remove access to TonePrint data already on your device through such an update; however, uninstalling the App will permanently delete all locally-stored data.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Acoustic measurements produced by the App depend on microphone quality, ambient noise, posture, distance from the device, and other factors outside our control, and should be interpreted with that context.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will JC Investment Group LLC, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits or revenues, arising out of or related to your use of the App. Our total cumulative liability for any claim arising out of or related to the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) ten US dollars (USD 10).
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless JC Investment Group LLC and its affiliates from any claim, demand, loss, or damage, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of (i) your use of the App in violation of these terms or applicable law, or (ii) your infringement of the rights of any third party in connection with your use of the App.
10. Termination
You may terminate these terms at any time by uninstalling the App. We may terminate or suspend your license to the App at any time if you materially breach these terms. Sections 5 (Intellectual property), 7 (Disclaimer), 8 (Limitation of liability), 9 (Indemnification), and 11 (Governing law) survive termination.
11. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or related to these terms or the App will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable consumer rights you may have under the laws of your country of residence.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after a material change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
