Terms of Service

Agreement to These Terms

By using OwnSound, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Description of Service

OwnSound provides free, browser-based audio tools — effects, editing and conversion, and AI tools like vocal removal and speech to text. All processing happens on your own device; files you use are not uploaded to our servers. The site has no accounts and is free to use, supported by advertising.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the site, or meet the higher minimum age set by the law where you live. If you're under 18, use the site only with a parent or guardian's permission.

Acceptable Use

Use the tools only for lawful purposes. In particular, don't: upload files that contain malware or that infringe someone's copyright; use the tools to create illegal, defamatory, or deceptive content; attempt to disrupt, damage, or overload the site; scrape it at scale; or use bots or other artificial means to generate ad impressions or clicks.

Your Files and Your Rights

You keep all rights to the files you upload and the results you produce. We claim no ownership over them — and because processing happens on your device, we never receive them in the first place.

Copyright and Content ID

You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to use the audio you upload. If you process copyrighted music — for example, removing vocals from a commercial song — the resulting audio may still trigger copyright or Content ID claims when you post it. For full safety, use material you own or that is royalty-free.

Intellectual Property

The site and its content — the text, design, and tool pages — belong to OwnSound. You may use the tools freely; you may not copy or republish the site itself.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The tools are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted operation, or error-free results. Processing results vary by device and by the files you use.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, OwnSound will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages — including loss of data — arising from your use of the site.

Third-Party Services

Ads on the site are served by third-party networks, which we don't control; any dealings you have with an advertiser are between you and them. The site may also link to other websites we don't control.

Modifications and Termination

We may change, restrict, or discontinue any tool at any time, and we may block access to anyone who abuses the site.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
