Terms & Conditions

By using the Service you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and all policies referenced in them. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity.

We may make additional or different terms available for certain features or promotions. Where those apply, they supplement these Terms, and in the event of a conflict the feature-specific terms control for that feature.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or legal guardian’s permission to use the Service. The Service is not available to anyone under 13, to any user previously removed or suspended by us, or to anyone barred from using it under applicable law.

You may need to create an account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information, keep it current, and keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at hi@veena.studio if you suspect any unauthorized use. We may use third-party sign-in providers (for example, Google) to authenticate you, and we may refuse, reclaim, or remove a username at our discretion.

Veena is a browser-based digital audio workstation with an AI CoProducer that helps you create, arrange, edit, mix, and master music. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your own music creation, for personal or commercial purposes, consistent with your plan and these Terms.

The Service is offered on an evolving basis and may include beta, preview, or experimental features. We may add, change, suspend, or remove features, impose or modify usage limits, and update the Service at any time. We do not guarantee that the Service will be available uninterrupted or error-free, and we may perform maintenance that temporarily limits access.

The Service may be offered through free and paid plans. The features, usage limits, AI-action allowances, and credit amounts associated with each plan are described in the Service or on our pricing page and may change over time.

• Subscriptions. Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis (for example, monthly or annually) through our third-party payment processor. You authorize us and our processor to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
• Auto-renewal and cancellation. Subscriptions automatically renew for the same period unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time; the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access until then.
• Refunds. Except where required by law or expressly stated by us, all fees are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partial periods, unused credits, or unused features.
• Credits. Any credits, tokens, or allowances have no cash value, are non-transferable, may expire, and may be forfeited on suspension or termination.
• Price changes. We may change our prices and plan features. Price changes apply to the next billing cycle after we provide notice.
• Taxes and non-payment. You are responsible for applicable taxes. We may suspend or downgrade your access for failed or overdue payments.

“Your Content” means everything you upload, import, record, create, or submit through the Service — including audio, recordings, MIDI, stems, samples, project files, text prompts, lyrics, images, and other materials — excluding Output (defined in Section 6) and any Veena-provided materials.

You own Your Content. As between you and Veena, you retain all right, title, and interest in and to Your Content. We do not claim ownership of it.

License to Veena. You grant Veena a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), and transferable license to host, store, cache, back up, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works of, publicly perform and display, distribute, and otherwise use Your Content, in any media, in connection with operating, providing, securing, maintaining, developing, and improving the Service and our products and services. Where you use sharing, collaboration, publishing, or community features, this license extends as reasonably necessary to make Your Content available to the people and services you direct.

Your representations. You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to Your Content and to grant the license above; that Your Content, and our use of it as permitted here, does not and will not infringe or violate any third party’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights, or any law; and that you have cleared any third-party samples, recordings, performances, or other materials contained in Your Content. You are solely responsible for Your Content.

Storage. The Service is not a backup service. You are responsible for maintaining your own copies of Your Content. We may set storage limits and may delete or de-prioritize content in accordance with our retention practices or upon closure of your account.

The CoProducer and other AI features generate audio, MIDI, stems, arrangements, suggestions, and other outputs based on your inputs and prompts (“Output”).

Ownership of Output. As between you and Veena, and subject to your compliance with these Terms, you own the Output you generate through your use of the Service, and Veena assigns to you all of its right, title, and interest (if any) in and to that Output.

Nature and limits of Output. Output is generated automatically by machine-learning systems. Because of how these systems work, Output may not be unique: the Service may generate the same or similar Output for you and for other users, and you receive no rights in any other user’s Output. We do not represent or warrant that Output is original, accurate, complete, reliable, non-infringing, or protectable by copyright or other intellectual-property rights.

Your responsibility. You are responsible for reviewing, evaluating, and clearing Output before you rely on, publish, distribute, or commercialize it, including ensuring that your use does not infringe the rights of any third party. You should not treat Output as professional, legal, or financial advice.

We collect and process information about your use of the Service — including Your Content, Output, and usage, device, and log information — to provide, operate, secure, support, analyze, maintain, develop, and improve the Service and our products and services.

We may also create de-identified and/or aggregated data from Your Content and your use of the Service, and we may use and retain that data for any business purpose without restriction. For more about how we handle personal information and the choices available to you, see our Privacy Policy.

You agree not to, and not to permit anyone else to:

• violate any applicable law or regulation, or infringe or misappropriate any third party’s rights;
• upload, create, or share content that is infringing, unlawful, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit (including any content that sexualizes minors), hateful, harassing, threatening, or that promotes violence or illegal activity;
• upload audio, recordings, samples, lyrics, or other materials that you do not own or have the necessary rights to use, or otherwise use the Service to infringe copyright or other rights;
• impersonate any person or entity, or use a person’s name, voice, image, or likeness — including creating voice clones or other synthetic media of a real person — without their authorization;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service, or attempt to derive source code, models, or underlying ideas, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
• circumvent or attempt to circumvent usage limits, credits, paywalls, security, or access controls, or use multiple or automated accounts to evade limits;
• use the Service or any Output to develop, train, or improve any competing product or any machine-learning or artificial-intelligence model;
• use bots, scrapers, or other automated means to access the Service, except through interfaces we expressly provide;
• resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service except as we expressly permit;
• interfere with or disrupt the Service, introduce malware, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network; or
• remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices.

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, review, or remove content or activity, and we may investigate and take appropriate action — including reporting to law enforcement — for any suspected violation.

The Service — including its software, models, user interfaces, designs, text, graphics, logos, and the “Veena” and “CoProducer” names and marks — and all related intellectual property are owned by Veena or its licensors and are protected by law. Except for the limited license to use the Service granted in these Terms, we grant you no right, title, or interest in the Service or our intellectual property, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved. You may not use our trademarks without our prior written permission.

Any sounds, samples, loops, presets, instruments, or templates that we make available within the Service are licensed, not sold, for use within your own projects and subject to these Terms and any additional terms presented with them. You may not extract, redistribute, resell, or repackage them as standalone files or sample packs, or use them as training material for any machine-learning model.

The Service relies on and integrates third-party services — including AI and model providers, cloud hosting and storage, payment processing, analytics, and authentication. Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and policies, and we are not responsible for them or for any third-party content. Links to third-party websites or resources are provided for convenience and are not endorsements.

We respect intellectual-property rights. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright or other rights, contact us at hi@veena.studio with enough detail to identify the work and the material at issue, and we will review and may remove or disable access to it. We may also suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly or egregiously infringe.

If you give us feedback, ideas, or suggestions about the Service (“Feedback”), you grant Veena a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use the Feedback for any purpose without restriction or compensation to you, and we may develop, use, and commercialize features based on it freely.

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share personal information in connection with the Service. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree to our data practices as described there.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend, limit, or terminate your access to the Service or your account, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms, to protect the Service, our users, or third parties, or to comply with law.

On termination, your license to use the Service ends, and we may delete Your Content and account data, subject to our backups, retention practices, and the de-identified and aggregated data described in Section 7. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 5 through 9 and 12 through 21 — will survive. We are not liable to you or any third party for suspending or terminating your access, and no refunds are owed for termination resulting from your breach.

The Service, including all content and Output, is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Veena disclaims all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement.

Without limiting the above, we do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that Output will meet your expectations or be accurate, original, or non-infringing. You use the Service and any Output at your own risk, and you are responsible for backing up Your Content. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Veena and its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Veena’s total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid Veena for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the liability, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

These limitations apply to all claims, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you, and nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Veena and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) Your Content; (b) your use or misuse of the Service or any Output; (c) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law; or (d) your violation of any rights of a third party, including intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with us.

Please read this section carefully. It requires you and Veena to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration and waives your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.

Informal resolution. Before starting an arbitration, you agree to first contact us at hi@veena.studio and describe the dispute, and the parties will try in good faith to resolve it informally for at least 30 days.

Binding arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved informally will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except as provided below. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

You and Veena agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. You and Veena waive any right to a trial by jury.

Delegation. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve all issues, including the arbitrability of any claim, except that a court has authority to decide the enforceability of the class-action waiver above.

Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court for the actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property or confidential information.

Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing hi@veena.studio with your name, the email associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

Time limit. To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after it arises, or it is permanently barred. This Section 18 survives termination of these Terms.

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. For any matter that is not subject to arbitration, the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, will have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice — for example, by posting the updated Terms with a new “Last updated” date, or through the Service or by email. Changes are effective when posted unless we state otherwise. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the policies referenced in them are the entire agreement between you and Veena regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.
• No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• Notices. We may provide notices to you through the Service, by email, or by posting. You may send notices to us at hi@veena.studio.
• Export and sanctions. You represent that you are not located in, or a resident of, any embargoed jurisdiction, and that you are not on any restricted-party list, and you agree to comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws.
• Relationship. You and Veena are independent contractors; these Terms create no agency, partnership, or joint venture.
