Terms of Service

Last updated: June 25, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of SetMate (the "Service"). By creating an account or using SetMate you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use SetMate.

Your use of SetMate is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

1. Your account

You must provide a valid email address to use SetMate. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity under your account. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your country) to use SetMate.

2. License grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, SetMate grants you a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to download and use the SetMate app on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. This license does not allow you to use the app on any device that you do not own or control. The app may be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing where enabled by Apple.

3. Your content

You retain ownership of the songs, setlists, notes, images and other content you create in SetMate ("Your Content"). By using SetMate you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce and display Your Content solely to operate and improve the Service.

When you publish content to the public song library, you grant other SetMate users a license to view that content within SetMate and, where enabled, to copy it into their own library. You can unpublish your content at any time.

You represent that you have the right to upload Your Content and that it does not infringe any third-party rights, including copyright. SetMate is not a substitute for purchasing licensed sheet music or chord charts where such licenses are required.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
• Upload content that is infringing, defamatory, harassing, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service.
• Interfere with, disrupt, or impose an unreasonable load on the Service.
• Use automated means to scrape or download the public song library.
• Resell or redistribute SetMate without our written permission.

We may remove content or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

5. Subscriptions and billing

SetMate offers a free tier and paid subscriptions ("SetMate Pro"). Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings or through the App Store. Payment is charged at the start of each billing period and is non-refundable except where required by law.

New subscribers may receive a free trial period before their subscription begins. The length of the trial is shown on the subscription screen at the time of sign-up. Your payment method will be charged automatically at the end of the trial period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends.

For purchases made through the Apple App Store, Apple is the merchant of record and billing is governed by Apple's own terms and conditions. SetMate does not have access to your payment information. Refund requests for App Store purchases must be directed to Apple.

We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days' notice. Changes will not affect the current paid term.

6. Automated and AI-assisted features

SetMate may use automated systems, including third-party AI services, to process content — for example, to help screen content published to the public library, and, where offered, to help generate suggested chord charts. Any AI-assisted output is provided "as is," may be inaccurate or incomplete, and you are responsible for reviewing it before relying on it for a performance.

7. Intellectual property

The SetMate name, logo, software and all related materials are owned by SetMate and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights in the SetMate brand.

8. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SETMATE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS OR REVENUE, WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR USD 50, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless SetMate and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of the Service; or (c) your violation of these Terms.

11. Termination

You may stop using SetMate at any time and delete your account from the Settings screen. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes we will notify you in the app or by email and, where required, ask you to accept the updated Terms before continuing to use the Service.

13. Apple App Store

If you download or use SetMate through the Apple App Store, you acknowledge and agree that:

• These Terms are between you and SetMate only, not with Apple, Inc. ("Apple"). As between SetMate and Apple, SetMate is solely responsible for the app and its content.
• SetMate is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the app. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the app.
• SetMate is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law. In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app, and any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be SetMate's sole responsibility.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet any legal or regulatory requirement, or claims arising under consumer protection or similar laws.
• In the event of any third-party claim that the app or your use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, SetMate (not Apple) is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of that claim.
• You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms of service when using SetMate, including the terms of your wireless carrier or internet service provider.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple has the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

14. Copyright & DMCA Policy

SetMate respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. SetMate complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). We respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement and, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

User-submitted content. Songs, chord charts, lyrics, tabs, notes and other material in SetMate are created and submitted by users. Users are solely responsible for the content they create, upload or publish, and represent that they have the necessary rights to do so. SetMate does not pre-screen user content and is not the author of user-submitted material.

Filing a takedown notice. If you believe content available through SetMate infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to our Designated Agent (below) that includes all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (e.g., the public sheet URL, or the title and artist).
• Your contact information (name, address, telephone number and email address).
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Upon receiving a valid notice, we will remove or disable access to the identified material and make a good-faith effort to notify the user who submitted it.

Counter-notification. If you believe your content was removed in error or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to our Designated Agent including: (a) your signature; (b) identification of the material removed and its prior location; (c) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and (d) your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the U.S., any district in which SetMate may be found) and will accept service of process from the complainant. We may restore the material in accordance with the DMCA.

Repeat infringers. SetMate will, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, disable and/or terminate the accounts of users found to be repeat infringers, and may remove any content and refuse service to anyone at any time.

15. Affiliate Program

SetMate operates an optional Affiliate Program that lets enrolled users earn commissions for referring new subscribers. Participation is voluntary and is governed by the Affiliate Program Terms, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. By enrolling in the program or sharing a referral code, you agree to those terms.

Commissions are paid only on subscriptions that convert to paid and remain active through the stated hold period. SetMate may adjust commission rates, withhold or reverse commissions for refunded, fraudulent, or abusive activity, and suspend, modify, or end the program at any time. Affiliates are responsible for their own taxes and, where required for tax reporting, must provide tax information before payouts can be made. When promoting SetMate, affiliates must clearly and conspicuously disclose that they earn a commission, as required by applicable law (including the U.S. FTC endorsement guidelines). Referral discounts, where offered, apply only to eligible web sign-ups; App Store prices are set by Apple and are not discounted.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Colorado.
