Terms, in plain English

Your tapes stay your creative work. By making a tape on SFtunes, or by setting your profile public, you give us a non-exclusive commercial license to display your public tapes and your public Top 10 and Side B lists here and to license their metadata, song titles, track order, your liner notes, to third parties, including AI agents that pay to read them through our API. Only public things are ever licensed: private tapes, private profiles, and circles never leave the app, and the agent catalog carries your handle and songs only, never your name or contact info. Flip your profile private and your Top 10 leaves the catalog with it. Non-exclusive means it's still yours: share it, remake it, or take it anywhere else, anytime.

The split is 80/20, in your favor. When revenue can be traced to your tape or your Top 10, 80% of the net goes to you and 20% keeps SFtunes running. We can change those rates going forward with 30 days notice, never retroactively.

Earnings are credits, not a bank account. Your share accrues as SFtunes credits, not a cash balance. Once a year, if you're above $10, you can redeem them: a gift card, a donation to SFtunes or a charity, USDC to a wallet address you give us, or cash via PayPal. Credits roll over and earn no interest. Honestly, the amounts will probably be small. This is mixtape money, not a paycheck, and nothing here is financial advice.

Some links help keep the lights on. A few outbound links may earn SFtunes an affiliate commission. It never costs you anything, it never changes where the link goes, and those links are always marked.

The ground rules.Be a decent human: no spam, no scraping other people's tapes, no using SFtunes to harass anyone or break the law. We can close accounts that do. You can leave anytime, delete your account in Settings and your data goes with you. If these terms change in a way that matters, we'll give you 30 days notice before it takes effect.
