Terms of Service

Last Updated: February 17, 2026

Applies to musiccoast.com, web apps, and iOS/Android apps. Not legal advice.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Music Co LLC ("Music Coast," "Music Co LLC," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your use of the Music Coast website (musiccoast.com), any related web applications, and our iOS and Android applications (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Definitions

Content means text, images, audio, video, metadata, and other materials on the Service. User Content means Content submitted by users, including music, artwork, and profile information. Creator means a user or entity that uploads music and related materials to the Service. Listener means a user that streams Content for personal listening. Subscription means a paid plan that may include features such as offline listening. Offline Listening means the ability to temporarily store encrypted copies of audio within the app for playback without an active internet connection.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. Accounts and Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

4. Fees, Subscriptions, and Billing

Some parts of the Service may be free and others may require payment. Pricing and features may change over time. If you purchase a Subscription through Apple’s App Store or Google Play, billing and cancellation are handled by Apple or Google (not by us). Please manage those Subscriptions through the applicable store account. Refund requests may also be subject to the store’s policies. If you purchase directly from us (for example on the website), we may use third-party payment processors. Your payment method may incur fees from your bank or processor.

5. License to Use the Service (Listeners)

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms. You agree not to:

• copy, record, rip, download (except via approved Offline Listening features), redistribute, or publicly perform audio from the Service;
• circumvent or disable security or DRM features;
• use bots, scrapers, or automated methods to access the Service;
• upload malware or attempt to interfere with the Service’s operation;
• use the Service for illegal activities or to violate the rights of others.

6. Our Content and Trademarks

The Service includes our software, design, logos, trademarks, and other materials we own or license ("Site Content"). Music Coast and related marks are trademarks of Music Co LLC. Except for the limited license above, we do not grant you any right in our Site Content.

7. User Content: Ownership and Responsibility

Creators and users retain ownership of their User Content. You are solely responsible for the User Content you submit, including ensuring it does not infringe anyone’s rights. We may remove User Content, disable accounts, or restrict access to Content at any time, including for legal, policy, or product reasons.

8. Creator Upload Rules (Music, Artwork, Metadata)

If you upload music or other media, you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant the permissions in these Terms for every territory where you make your Content available. This includes, at minimum:

• sound recording (master) rights, including the right to stream and make the recording available on-demand;
• musical composition rights (songwriting/publishing) sufficient for streaming and, if enabled, Offline Listening;
• permissions for any featured artists, producers, artwork, logos, samples, and other third-party materials used in your upload;
• the right to use names, images, and likenesses included with your upload (artist name, cover art, profile photos).

If you do not control a right (for example, a co-writer’s share, a publisher-controlled share, or a label-controlled master), do not upload the Content unless you have written authorization from the rightsholder(s).

Launch policy (recommended): At launch we may restrict uploads to original content and may prohibit covers, remixes, mashups, or sampled works unless you provide proof of clearance.

You must provide accurate metadata (artist name, track title, contributors, and where available: ISRC, writer and publisher information). We may require updates to metadata as a condition of continued availability.

9. Creator License Grant to Music Coast

By uploading User Content, you grant Music Coast a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, reproduce (including encoding, transcoding, caching), distribute, publicly perform, and make your User Content available through the Service, and to display associated artwork and metadata. This license includes the right to allow Listeners to stream your User Content through the Service for personal use. If Offline Listening is enabled, your license also includes the right to create and store encrypted, time-limited app copies for authorized subscribers. You also grant us the right to use your artist name, approved images, and short excerpts (for example, previews) to promote your Content and the Service. We do not claim ownership of your User Content. You may remove your User Content by deleting it or your account, but copies may remain temporarily in backups and for legal, accounting, or reporting purposes.

10. Creator Monetization Program (If Offered)

We may offer a Creator Monetization Program that pays eligible Creators based on plays, ad revenue, subscriptions, or other metrics. Participation is optional and may require agreeing to additional terms, providing payout and tax information, and meeting eligibility requirements. We may suspend or withhold payouts for suspected fraud, invalid traffic, policy violations, chargebacks, or disputes. We do not guarantee any earnings.

11. Offline Listening (If Enabled)

Offline Listening is provided for convenience and may be limited by device count, time period, territory, or rightsholder restrictions. Offline files are intended to be encrypted and accessible only within the Music Coast app. If your Subscription ends or if Content is removed or becomes unavailable, Offline Listening access to that Content may stop and offline copies may expire.

12. DJ Remixes, DJ Mixes, and Radio Features (If Enabled)

If we enable features that allow remixes, DJ mixes, mashups, or radio-style programming, additional rights are often required. To protect artists and rightsholders, you may upload such Content only if you have written permission from all relevant rightsholders (sound recording owners, publishers/songwriters, and any sampled sources), and you must provide proof on request. We may require that remix or DJ content be uploaded only by the original rightsholder or an authorized label/distributor, and we may restrict availability by territory or remove such Content at any time.

13. Copyright Policy (DMCA) and Repeat Infringers

We respect intellectual property rights and expect users to do the same. If you believe Content on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a DMCA notice with the required information (identification of the work, the allegedly infringing material, your contact information, a good-faith statement, and a statement under penalty of perjury).

14. Third-Party Services and Links

15. Disclaimers
