Terms of Service

By creating an account and using DeckReady ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please refrain from using the Service.

The Service is a web application that performs audio loudness enhancement and mastering within your browser. All audio processing occurs entirely in your browser using the Web Audio API, and audio files are never transmitted to our servers. The Service does not guarantee the audio quality of processed results.

Using the Service requires account registration via Google OAuth. Each user may create only one account. You are responsible for managing your account.

Account suspension: If you violate these Terms, we may suspend your account after written notice (email) and a 7-day cure period. Serious violations may result in immediate suspension.

The Service offers three plans: Free, Pro ($9.90/month or $79/year), and Studio ($26.50/month or $199/year). Paid subscriptions are processed through Stripe, Inc. and auto-renew at the end of each billing period.

Cancellation: You can cancel anytime from your account page. After cancellation, you retain access until the end of the current billing period. No prorated refunds are provided.

EU right of withdrawal: Under the EU Consumer Rights Directive, you may exercise your right of withdrawal within 14 days of purchase. However, this right does not apply once you have expressly consented to the commencement of digital content delivery and acknowledged the loss of your right of withdrawal.

5.1 You warrant that you hold the necessary rights or licenses to edit and process any audio files used with the Service.

5.2 The Service does not store or access your audio files on our servers. All processing occurs within your browser.

5.3 You bear full responsibility for any claims arising from processing audio files that infringe on third-party copyrights or other rights.

The following activities are prohibited: unauthorized access or exploitation of vulnerabilities, sending automated bulk requests, reverse engineering (except for security research), and harassment of other users.

Payment processing is provided by Stripe, Inc. We are not responsible for damages caused by Stripe outages or errors. Credit card information is not stored on our servers. Please refer to Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for payment details.

We may modify or discontinue the Service. Significant changes will be notified 30 days in advance by email. Discontinuation of paid features will be notified 60 days in advance. We will provide advance notice of scheduled maintenance whenever possible.

The Service is provided "as-is." We make no guarantees regarding the audio quality of processed results.

Except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence, we are not liable for damages arising from use of the Service. Where liability is established, total damages shall not exceed the fees paid by you in the preceding 3 months.

We shall not be liable for failure to perform obligations during events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, power outages, telecommunications failures, or changes in law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. However, mandatory laws of your country of residence (including but not limited to the EU GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act) shall not be excluded by this provision.

In case of disputes, the parties shall first engage in good-faith negotiations for 30 days. If unresolved, the Tokyo District Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Service operator, its affiliates, and contractors from any damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from or related to:

• Your violation of these Terms
• Infringement of third-party copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights related to audio files you process
• Your misuse of the Service or violation of prohibited activities
• False or inaccurate information you provide

Individual basis: You may only bring claims against the Service in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class action or representative proceeding. Where prohibited by applicable law, this restriction shall not apply.

Negotiation: In case of disputes, you must first send written notice to [email protected] and engage in good-faith negotiations for 30 days.

Time limit: Any claim under these Terms must be brought within 1 year of the date the cause of action arose. Claims filed after this period are void, except where otherwise required by applicable law.

In the event of a business transfer, we may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms to the transferee without your consent. You will be notified by email in advance.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, only that provision is affected; the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

No waiver: Failure to exercise any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right.

Entire agreement: These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Service regarding its use, superseding all prior agreements, communications, and proposals.

Notices: Notices from the Service are deemed delivered when sent to your registered email address or displayed within the Service.

The Service does not host copyright-infringing content as audio files are never stored on or transmitted to our servers. However, if you have a copyright concern related to the Service, contact: [email protected]

Please include: identification of the copyrighted work, description of the allegedly infringing activity, your contact information, and a statement of good faith.
