These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Henri Audio, a product of Schaeman Creative LLC (“Writer’s Room,” “we,” “us,” “our”), governing your use of the Writer’s Room mobile app, web app, and related services (together, the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.
You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use the Service. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. By using the Service you represent that you can form a binding contract and aren’t barred from doing so under applicable law.
You own what you write. The songs, lyrics, sections, concepts, notes, and voice recordings you create (“Your Content”) remain yours. We don’t claim any ownership of them, we never sell them, and we never use them to train AI models.
So that we can actually run the Service for you, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, back up, transmit, reproduce, and display Your Content solely to: (a) operate, maintain, and provide the Service to you; (b) sync it across your own devices; and (c) make it available to the collaborators you choose to invite. This license exists only to deliver the features you ask for, lasts only as long as you keep the content in the Service, and ends when you delete the content or your account (except for backups that age out on a routine schedule, and anything you’ve shared with collaborators who retain their own copies). We do not use Your Content for advertising, do not sell or rent it, and do not use it to train AI — see Section 6 and our Privacy Policy.
You represent that you have the rights to the content you upload and that it doesn’t infringe anyone else’s rights or break the law.
Writer’s Room is a writing tool, not a referee. When you co-write with others, we provide the shared workspace — nothing more. We do not determine, assign, mediate, or guarantee songwriting splits, copyright ownership, publishing rights, credits, or royalties between you and your collaborators. Those are between you and them. We are not a party to, and are not responsible for, any dispute over ownership, splits, or rights arising from work created or shared in the Service.
Anything you place in a shared room is visible to the collaborators in that room, who may copy, retain, or use it. Choose your collaborators and what you share accordingly. Resolve splits and credits with your co-writers directly (and, where appropriate, in writing) — the Service does not do that for you.
You agree not to:
We may remove content or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
Your words stay yours. When you use the writing help, the relevant lyrics and notes are sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) to generate suggestions back to you. Your content is never used to train AI models, and we never sell it — it’s used only to answer your request, in that moment. The writing help is a craft tool that helps you get unstuck; it never writes your song for you, and any suggestions are yours to use, change, or ignore. You are responsible for the final work and for making sure it’s original.
Writer’s Room is currently in beta. That means it may be incomplete, may change, may be interrupted, and may contain bugs — including ones that could cause loss of data or content. Keep your own copies of work that matters to you.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that content will be preserved or backed up. Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.
We respect intellectual-property rights and expect users to do the same. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, see our Copyright / DMCA Policy for how to send a takedown notice. We respond to valid notices and terminate repeat infringers.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Henri Audio and Schaeman Creative LLC and their owners and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, content, goodwill, or business, arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service — even if we’ve been advised of the possibility. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) US $100. Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Henri Audio and Schaeman Creative LLC and their owners and agents from any claims, damages, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising out of content you upload, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of anyone’s rights.
You can stop using the Service and delete your account anytime from Account → Settings, which permanently erases your account and your content as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, to protect the Service or other users, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, dispute resolution) will survive.
If you download the app from the Apple App Store, you also agree that: these Terms are between you and us, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content; Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the app; Apple is not responsible for any product warranties or for addressing any claims relating to the app (including product-liability, legal/regulatory, or intellectual-property claims); and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you’re not located in a country subject to a U.S. embargo or on a U.S. prohibited-parties list, and you’ll comply with applicable App Store usage rules.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or by email. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State in which Schaeman Creative LLC is organized, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and you and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located there for any dispute not otherwise resolved. Some consumer-protection rights under the law of your home jurisdiction may still apply.
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a provision isn’t a waiver. You can’t assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
