Terms of Service

Effective Date: August 29, 2026

Welcome to Relic. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Relic mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by Relic ("Relic," "we," "us," or "our").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Relic.

If you are between 13 and 18 years old, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you satisfy these eligibility requirements.

2. Accounts

Certain features of Relic may require you to create an account.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to maintain the accuracy of that information.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity occurring through your account.

If you believe your account has been accessed or used without authorization, you should contact us promptly.

3. The Relic Service

Relic is an audio platform that allows users to discover, listen to, organize, and share music, audio clips, playlists, and other content.

The Service may include content submitted by users, content provided by third parties, and content made available by Relic.

We may organize, recommend, rank, or personalize content based on factors including user activity, preferences, interactions, and other information.

We do not guarantee that any particular content will remain available through the Service.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable laws or regulations.
• Upload, submit, distribute, or share content that you do not have the necessary rights or permissions to use.
• Upload, submit, distribute, or share content that infringes or misappropriates another person's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
• Use the Service to harass, threaten, abuse, defame, or harm another person.
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise derive source code from the Service except where expressly permitted by applicable law.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers, networks, or infrastructure.
• Use automated means to create accounts or access the Service without our authorization.
• Scrape, crawl, harvest, or collect information from the Service without our authorization.
• Circumvent security features, access controls, or usage restrictions.
• Exploit bugs or vulnerabilities for purposes other than responsibly reporting them to us.
• Use the Service to distribute malware, malicious code, or other harmful material.
• Impersonate another person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

We may remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, or terminate access when we reasonably believe that a user has violated these Terms or that such action is necessary to protect the Service, its users, or third parties.

5. User Content

Relic allows users to submit certain content to the Service, including audio recordings, music, playlists, usernames, profile information, comments, images, and other materials ("User Content").

5.1 Your Responsibility for User Content

You retain ownership of User Content that you own.

By submitting User Content, you represent and warrant that:

• You own the User Content or otherwise have all rights, licenses, permissions, and authorizations necessary to submit it to Relic and for Relic to use it as contemplated by these Terms;
• Your submission and use of the User Content does not violate any applicable law or third-party rights;
• If your User Content includes material owned by another person, you have obtained any permissions or licenses required to use and distribute that material through the Service; and
• Your User Content does not violate these Terms.

You are solely responsible for the User Content you submit and the consequences of submitting it.

5.2 License to Relic

By submitting User Content, you grant Relic a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, encode, process, transmit, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, make available, and otherwise use your User Content as reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, improve, promote, and provide the Service.

This license continues for as long as your User Content remains on the Service and for a reasonable period afterward as necessary for backup, archival, legal, or technical purposes.

You understand that User Content submitted to the Service may be made available to other users and may be played, viewed, shared, or otherwise accessed through the Service.

5.3 Removal of User Content

We may, but are not obligated to, review User Content.

We reserve the right to remove, disable access to, restrict, or modify any User Content at any time and for any reason, including where we believe the content may violate these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of another person.

We may also remove or disable access to User Content in response to a valid copyright or other rights complaint.

5.4 Repeat Infringers

We may suspend or terminate accounts belonging to users who repeatedly submit content that infringes the rights of others.

6. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, user interface, branding, trademarks, logos, graphics, and other materials created or provided by Relic, is owned by Relic or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Except as expressly permitted by these Terms, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, sell, license, or create derivative works from Relic's proprietary materials.

Music, audio recordings, artwork, and other third-party materials available through the Service may be owned by their respective creators, artists, labels, publishers, licensors, or other rights holders.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of third-party content to Relic or to you.

7. Third-Party Content and Services

The Service may contain or provide access to content, services, links, or materials supplied by third parties.

Relic does not necessarily endorse or control third-party content and is not responsible for the accuracy, legality, availability, or quality of third-party content.

Your use of third-party services may be subject to additional terms and policies imposed by those providers.

8. Subscriptions and Payments

Relic may offer paid features or subscriptions.

If you purchase a subscription through the Apple App Store:

• Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of purchase.
• Your subscription may automatically renew unless you cancel in accordance with Apple's subscription cancellation procedures.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple ID account settings.
• Refund requests are subject to Apple's applicable refund policies and procedures.

Subscription prices and available plans may change from time to time. Where required, we will provide notice of material pricing changes.

9. Creator and Contributor Compensation

Relic may, at its discretion, offer compensation, revenue sharing, promotional opportunities, or other incentives to users or creators who submit User Content.

Any such program may be governed by additional terms, agreements, eligibility requirements, payment rules, or guidelines.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, submitting User Content does not create an obligation for Relic to pay you.

10. Copyright Complaints

Relic respects the intellectual property rights of others.

If you believe that content available through Relic infringes your copyright, you may submit a copyright infringement notice in accordance with our Copyright and DMCA Policy.

We may remove or disable access to content that is the subject of a valid infringement notice and may take additional action where appropriate.

11. Availability and Modifications

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time.

We do not guarantee that the Service or any particular feature, audio, playlist, or other content will always be available.

We may also impose limits on certain features or functionality.

12. Termination

You may stop using Relic and delete your account at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms, create legal or security risks, or engage in conduct that may harm Relic, its users, or third parties.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including provisions concerning intellectual property, User Content, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

RELIC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES.

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RELIC AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, REVENUE, OR GOODWILL ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RELIC'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO RELIC DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) $50.

15. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Relic and its owners, officers, employees, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to:

• Your User Content;
• Your violation of these Terms;
• Your violation of applicable law; or
• Your violation of another person's rights.

16. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will first be subject to good-faith informal resolution.

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, it will be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

To the extent permitted by law, you and Relic agree that disputes will be resolved individually and not as part of a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding.

17. Governing Law

These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent federal law or applicable consumer-protection law requires otherwise.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

If we make material changes, we may provide notice through the Service or by other reasonable means.

Your continued use of Relic after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
