What Alwayssound Is
Alwayssound is an app that helps you collect and organize music and video links from across the services you already use, and play that content through those services' own players. Alwayssound is an organizer and a launcher — not a music store, a streaming service, or a content host. We do not sell, stream, host, or distribute music or video. All content you collect remains the property of its rights holders and is delivered to you by the third-party services you connect, under their terms.
Alwayssound is an independent product. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Spotify, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, Apple, Discogs, or any other service you may connect through or that is referenced within the App.
License to Use the App
Subject to these Terms and any applicable license fee, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use.
You agree not to:
- Copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App, except as allowed by law;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except where that restriction is prohibited by law;
- Rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or redistribute the App or your license to it;
- Remove or alter any proprietary notices; or
- Circumvent, disable, or interfere with security or licensing features of the App.
Connecting Third-Party Services
The App lets you connect accounts and content from third-party services such as Spotify, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, and Apple Music. Your use of those services is governed by their terms and privacy policies, and you are responsible for complying with them. We are not responsible for the availability, content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party service, and a service may change, restrict, or discontinue its access at any time, which may affect features of the App. You are responsible for maintaining your own accounts and credentials with those services.
The App also draws album information — such as track listings — and release links from the Discogs music database, subject to Discogs' terms of service. This information is community-contributed, and we don't warrant its accuracy, completeness, or continued availability.
Acceptable Use
You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and only with content you have the right to access. You will not use the App to infringe anyone's intellectual property rights, to violate the terms of any connected service, or to download, copy, or redistribute content in ways those services do not permit. You are solely responsible for the links and content you collect and how you use them.
Fees, Licensing, and Refunds
The App requires a paid license to use. You may choose between a recurring subscription (for example, billed yearly) and a one-time purchase that grants a perpetual license to the version you bought. All purchases are made through the Apple App Store and are processed by Apple, subject to Apple's applicable terms, including the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- Recurring subscriptions. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple account at the time of purchase and renew automatically at the start of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in your Apple account settings; cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current period.
- One-time purchases. A one-time purchase is billed once and grants a perpetual license to use the version of the App available at the time of your purchase. Future major versions may be offered as separate paid upgrades and are not automatically included.
- Changes to fees. We may change our fees from time to time. Any change applies to future purchases and future renewal periods; for subscriptions, Apple will seek your agreement to any price increase where required before it takes effect. A change in fees does not affect a one-time purchase you have already made.
- Refunds. Purchases made through the App Store are subject to Apple's refund policies, and refunds are handled by Apple, not by us. To request a refund, please contact the App Store directly. Where required by law, your statutory refund and cancellation rights are unaffected.
Updates and Availability
We may release updates, and the App may download and install them automatically to remain secure and compatible. We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We do not guarantee that the App will be available without interruption or that it will be error-free.
Intellectual Property
The App, including its software, design, name, and logos, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a license to use the App, not any ownership of it. Your collection data and the underlying content belong to you and the respective rights holders — not to us.
Privacy
Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what data the App handles. By using the App, you acknowledge that policy.
Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will meet your requirements, operate uninterrupted, be secure or error-free, or that any defects will be corrected. Your use of the App is at your own risk.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim related to the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the App in the twelve (12) months before the claim arose, or (b) the amount you paid for your one-time purchase. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights or any connected service's terms.
Termination
You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your license if you breach these Terms or use the App unlawfully. On termination, the license granted to you ends and you must stop using the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the App after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute arising out of these Terms or the App will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.
Apple App Store
The App is licensed, not sold, to you for use through the Apple App Store, and the following additional terms apply. These Terms are between you and us only, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
- Scope of license. Your license to use the App is a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded device you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- Maintenance and support. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services for the App.
- Warranty. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation with respect to the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App.
- Claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer-protection or similar laws. We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and defending any claim that the App infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.
- Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting," and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party beneficiary. You and we acknowledge that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that Apple has the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
