Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of SessionLinked, a remote audio collaboration service operated from the United Kingdom. By creating an account, downloading our software, or using any part of the service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use SessionLinked.

The service is operated by an individual sole trader based in the United Kingdom, referred to in these Terms as “SessionLinked”, “we”, “us”, and “our”. References to “you” and “your” mean the person or entity using the service.

You must be at least 16 years old to use SessionLinked. By using the service, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. If you are using SessionLinked on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind that organisation to these Terms.

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for any activity that takes place under your account. You agree to notify us promptly at hello@sessionlinked.com if you suspect unauthorised access. We are not liable for losses arising from your failure to keep your credentials secure.

You may delete your account at any time using the in-app deletion flow or by emailing us. Account deletion is permanent and will remove all of your data from our systems within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain certain records (see our Privacy Policy).

You own your recordings. Any audio that you create, record, or upload through SessionLinked remains your property. SessionLinked does not claim any ownership of, or copyright over, your audio content.

To provide the service, you grant SessionLinked a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, transmit, and deliver your audio content to the collaborators you choose to share it with. This licence exists only for the purpose of operating the service and ends when you delete the content or your account.

You are responsible for the content you upload. You agree not to upload content that:

• Infringes anyone else’s copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights;
• Contains samples, loops, or recordings you do not have the right to use;
• Is illegal under UK law or the law of any country where the content will be used;
• Is defamatory, harassing, threatening, or abusive towards any individual;
• Contains personal data of third parties without their consent.

If you become aware of content on SessionLinked that infringes your rights, contact us at hello@sessionlinked.com and we will investigate and remove it where appropriate.

SessionLinked allows you to record audio from your collaborators as part of a session. By taking part in a SessionLinked session, you acknowledge that:

• You may record audio that other participants send to you;
• Other participants may record audio that you send to them;
• The companion application displays a recording indicator when recording is active;
• You are responsible for complying with the recording consent laws of your jurisdiction.

In some jurisdictions (including parts of the United States and several European countries) it is illegal to record a private conversation without the consent of all parties. You must obtain any consent that the law in your location requires before recording. SessionLinked is not responsible for any failure to obtain such consent.

You agree not to:

• Use SessionLinked for any unlawful purpose;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to other users’ accounts or content;
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble our software except as permitted by law;
• Use the service to send spam, phishing attempts, or malware;
• Resell or sublicense the service without our written permission;
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the service;
• Use automated means to access the service in a way that imposes an unreasonable load.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

SessionLinked supports many third-party Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs). Names such as Logic Pro^®, Pro Tools^®, Cubase^®, Ableton Live^®, Studio One^®, Reaper^®, and others are trademarks of their respective owners. SessionLinked is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of these companies. References to these products in our software and on our website are made under the principle of nominative fair use and are intended only to describe interoperability and compatibility.

SessionLinked depends on or integrates with several third-party services and open-source software components, including Amazon Web Services, Stripe, BlackHole, Electron, React, and Node.js. These components are governed by their own respective licences and terms. A full list of open-source components is available in the companion application’s About menu.

SessionLinked offers a free tier and paid subscription tiers. Pricing is shown on the pricing section of our website and is in pounds sterling (GBP). All payments are processed by Stripe, and Stripe’s own terms apply to the payment transaction.

Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them. You can cancel at any time from your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not provide refunds for partial billing periods.

We may change subscription prices in the future. If we do, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice before the change takes effect, and you will have the option to cancel before the new price applies.

We aim to keep SessionLinked available at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. From time to time the service may be unavailable due to maintenance, infrastructure issues, or events outside our control. We will use reasonable efforts to give advance notice of planned maintenance.

We may also modify, suspend, or discontinue features of the service. Where a change materially reduces the functionality you have paid for, we will offer a pro-rata refund of any unused subscription period.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SessionLinked is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any data loss will not occur.

Our total liability to you under or in connection with these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you have paid us in the twelve months immediately preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred pounds sterling (£100).

We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of goodwill, loss of use, or loss of data, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law.

You agree to indemnify and hold SessionLinked harmless from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from (a) your use of the service, (b) your content, (c) your breach of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right.

You may stop using SessionLinked and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, or if we discontinue the service. On termination, your right to use the service ends immediately, but the sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including ownership, indemnity, and limitation of liability) will remain in effect.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms or your use of SessionLinked will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer based in the European Union, you may also have the right to bring a claim in the courts of your country of residence under applicable consumer protection law.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will notify you by email (if you have an account) and update the “last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of SessionLinked after a change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
