Terms and Conditions

1. Operator and acceptance

The service is operated by Drumlify, established in Poland. By accessing or using the service, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the service. Mandatory consumer rights in your country continue to apply and are not limited by this document.

2. The service

Drumlify is a browser-based drum pattern editor and notation tool. It lets users create and play drum patterns, save work to an account, share links, organize collections, collaborate in groups, publish approved material to the Pattern Library, and embed supported players. Some features require an account or Premium plan.

Unsaved work and local preferences may be stored in your browser. Browser storage can be cleared by you, your browser, or your device, so it should not be treated as permanent cloud storage.

3. Accounts and eligibility

• You must provide accurate account information and keep access to your login method secure.
• You are responsible for activity performed through your account unless you promptly report unauthorized use.
• Usernames must not impersonate others, violate rights, mislead users, or contain abusive content.
• You must be at least 16 years old, or meet the minimum age required in your country for using an online service and consenting to relevant data processing. A parent or guardian must authorize use where local law requires it.

4. User content and ownership

You retain ownership of pattern data, titles, descriptions, tags, collections, and other material you create. You confirm that you have the rights needed to upload, publish, share, or embed that material and that it does not infringe copyright, privacy, publicity, or other rights.

You grant Drumlify a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, technically adapt, display, and play your content only as needed to operate, secure, promote, and improve the service. This license ends when the content is deleted, subject to normal backup rotation, legal retention, and copies already shared or embedded outside Drumlify.

5. Sharing, groups, and publishing

• Anyone who receives a public or encoded sharing link may be able to view and play its pattern.
• Private account patterns are available only through authorized account and group access.
• Group administrators control membership, invitations, and group content. Members must use group access responsibly.
• Pattern Library submissions and published collections may be reviewed, approved, rejected, or removed. Publication is not guaranteed and does not transfer ownership to Drumlify.
• Removing public access does not retract copies, embeds, or exports previously made by other users.

6. Acceptable use

You may not use Drumlify to:

• break the law, infringe rights, harass others, or distribute harmful or deceptive material;
• access accounts or data without authorization;
• introduce malware, overload the service, scrape it at unreasonable volume, or bypass technical limits;
• manipulate advertising, subscriptions, save limits, analytics, moderation, or security controls;
• resell or commercially exploit the service itself without written permission.

7. Free access, advertising, and Premium

Free access may include save limits and advertising, including optional rewarded advertising used to unlock an action. Sharing by link remains subject to the limits shown in the product. Premium provides the features listed on the pricing page, currently including an ad-free experience and unlimited cloud saves while the subscription is active. Features and reasonable usage limits may change prospectively.

8. Billing, renewal, and cancellation

• Stripe processes payments. Drumlify does not store complete payment-card details.
• The price, currency, taxes, billing period, and total due are displayed before checkout.
• Monthly subscriptions renew monthly until canceled. Annual subscriptions are charged upfront and renew yearly.
• You can cancel renewal through the Stripe billing portal available from the pricing page. Cancellation normally takes effect at the end of the already-paid billing period and does not delete your account.
• When Premium ends, Premium features stop, but account content remains subject to the current free-plan limits.

9. Consumer withdrawal and refunds

Consumers may have statutory withdrawal, cancellation, refund, or service-conformity rights. In the European Economic Area, this may include a 14-day withdrawal period for a distance service contract. If you expressly request immediate access during that period and later withdraw, applicable law may permit a proportionate charge for service already supplied. Refund requests are assessed under mandatory law and the circumstances of the transaction. These terms do not replace or waive statutory consumer protections.

10. Availability, moderation, and termination

We may maintain, change, suspend, or discontinue features and may restrict or terminate access where reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, abuse prevention, non-payment, or a material breach of these terms. Where practical and legally permitted, we will give notice and an opportunity to remedy the issue or export eligible data.

11. Third-party services

Drumlify depends on third-party hosting, database, authentication, email, analytics, advertising, and payment services. Their availability and separate terms may affect parts of Drumlify. Links and embeds outside Drumlify are provided for convenience; we do not control third-party content or services.

12. Disclaimers and liability

Drumlify is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, perfect notation, audio accuracy, permanent availability of shared links, or suitability for professional, educational, or performance decisions. Keep independent copies of important work. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Drumlify is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by Polish law, without depriving consumers of mandatory protections available in their country of residence. Please contact us first so we can try to resolve a complaint. You may also use any competent consumer-protection body, court, or out-of-court process available under applicable law.

14. Privacy: controller and legal bases

Drumlify is the controller of personal data processed directly by Drumlify. We process data where needed to perform our contract with you, comply with legal obligations, pursue legitimate interests such as security and service improvement, establish or defend legal claims, and, where required, based on your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.

15. Data we collect

• Account and authentication data: email, display name, username, avatar, provider identifiers, password hash for email accounts, verification status, and authentication records.
• Workspace data: saved patterns, settings, collections, group memberships, invitations, publications, visibility, share metadata, and feature requests.
• Billing data: Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, plan, payment status, invoices, and transaction metadata, but not complete card details.
• Technical data: IP address, timestamps, browser and device details, request logs, security signals, diagnostics, and approximate location inferred from network data.
• Analytics and advertising data: pages, referral source, device category, meaningful feature interactions, consent choices, and advertising identifiers where enabled and permitted.
• Browser data: unsaved pattern state, preferences, and consent choices stored locally on your device.

16. How we use data

• authenticate users, secure accounts, and deliver requested service features;
• store, share, play, publish, and organize patterns according to your choices;
• operate subscriptions, invoices, free-plan limits, and Premium entitlements;
• send verification, password reset, security, billing, and service communications;
• diagnose errors, prevent abuse, measure usage, and improve product performance;
• display and measure advertising where enabled and legally permitted;
• comply with law and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

17. Service providers and international transfers

We use providers such as Netlify for hosting, Neon for the database, authentication providers including Google, Apple, and Facebook when configured, Resend for service email, Stripe for billing, and Google services for analytics, consent management, and advertising. Providers receive only data reasonably needed for their role and act under their own privacy terms or data-processing obligations.

Some providers process data outside Poland or the European Economic Area. Where required, transfers rely on an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, or another lawful safeguard. Provider lists may change as the service evolves.

18. Cookies, local storage, analytics, and ads

Necessary cookies and browser storage support authentication, security, consent, unsaved work, and preferences. Google Analytics measures visits and product interactions. Google advertising services may deliver contextual or, when permitted, personalized ads to free users. In regions where consent is required, optional analytics and advertising storage follows your choices. Analytics consent is managed by Drumlify, while advertising consent is managed separately through Google's interface.

Drumlify does not sell personal data for money. Some US laws may classify personalized advertising as a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. Where applicable, use the site's privacy controls or a recognized opt-out signal to communicate your choice. We do not discriminate against users for exercising applicable privacy rights.

19. Public data

Public patterns, published collections, usernames, descriptions, tags, and author labels can be accessed by anyone and indexed by search engines. Sharing-link content can be viewed by anyone who obtains the link. Change visibility or delete content before sharing if it should not be public. Search engines and third parties may retain cached copies beyond our control.

20. Retention and security

Account and workspace data is generally retained while your account is active. Authentication tokens are retained only for their operational period. Billing, tax, fraud-prevention, security, and dispute records may be retained for the period required by law or reasonably needed for those purposes. Provider-controlled analytics, consent, and advertising data follows provider retention settings. Deleted data may remain temporarily in protected backups until their normal rotation completes.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including access controls, encrypted network transport, and managed infrastructure. No online system can guarantee absolute security. Report suspected account or security issues using the contact section below.

21. Your privacy rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request:

• access to and a copy of your personal data;
• correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of eligible data;
• an objection to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing;
• withdrawal of consent and applicable advertising opt-outs;
• information about safeguards used for international transfers.

We may request information necessary to verify identity and protect the account. You may lodge a complaint with the Polish supervisory authority, the President of the Personal Data Protection Office, or another authority available to you under applicable law.

22. Content and account deletion

• You can delete saved patterns, collections, eligible group content, and publications through the relevant workspace controls.
• To request full account deletion, contact us from the account email with the subject "Account Deletion Request". We may ask you to verify account ownership.
• A verified request normally removes the account and account-owned active data within one month, unless law permits an extension or requires retention. Active subscriptions will be handled as part of the verified request.
• Revoking Google, Apple, or Facebook access does not itself delete data held by Drumlify.
• Deletion cannot recall content already exported, copied, cached, or embedded by another person.

23. Changes to this document

We may update these terms when the service, law, providers, or business model changes. The current version and its effective date will remain available here. We will provide additional notice for material changes where required. Continued use after a change takes effect means the updated terms apply, except where fresh consent or acceptance is legally required.

24. Credits
