Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of orchacollective.io and the services on it (the "Site"). The Site is run by Orcha Systems LLC, doing business as Orcha Collective ("Orcha," "we," "us"). By using the Site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
Last updated: July 12, 2026
1. Who Can Use the Site
You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live, and able to enter a binding contract. If you use the Site for a company, you confirm you are authorized to bind that company.
2. Accounts
Some features need an account. You are responsible for keeping your login secure and for everything done under your account. Tell us at licensing@orchacollective.io if you think your account has been used without permission. Keep your account information accurate.
3. Licenses Are Governed by Their Own Agreement
When you license a track, subscribe, buy a download, or integrate our API, the specific agreement for that transaction controls that transaction:
- Buying a sync license is governed by the Music Synchronization License Agreement at /legal/sync-license-agreement, plus your checkout summary.
- Buying a download, stem pack, or instrumental is governed by the Download and Stems License at /legal/download-license.
- Subscribing to a Creator, Pro, Studio, or Enterprise plan is governed by the Subscription Terms at /legal/subscription-terms, and team seats by the Team License at /legal/team-license.
- Using our API or a white-label integration is governed by the API and White-Label Partner Terms at /legal/api-terms.
- Listing tracks as a collective artist is governed by the Collective Artist Agreement at /legal/collective-artist-agreement and the per-track attestation at /legal/ai-disclosure-attestation.
Refunds across all of these are governed by the Refund Policy at /legal/refund-policy. Cookies are described in the Cookie Policy at /legal/cookie-policy. Copyright complaints are handled under the Copyright and DMCA Policy at /legal/dmca-policy.
These Terms of Service govern your general use of the Site. Where a license agreement and these terms disagree about a licensed track, a subscription, or a listed track, the license agreement controls for that subject.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- use the Site or any track outside what your license grants;
- resell, redistribute, or sublicense our music except as a license expressly allows;
- scrape, crawl, or bulk-download the catalog, previews, or metadata;
- probe, disrupt, or try to break the Site's security or infrastructure;
- upload anything unlawful, infringing, or that you do not have the rights to (this includes every warranty in the artist agreement); or
- misrepresent who you are, or impersonate anyone.
We may suspend or remove access for anyone who breaks these rules.
5. Our Content and Marks
The Site, its design, text, catalog metadata, and the "Orcha Collective" name and marks are owned by Orcha or its licensors. Nothing here transfers any of that to you, except the specific rights a license agreement grants for a specific track.
6. Third-Party Services
The Site uses third parties to run, for example Stripe for payments, an email provider for messages, an analytics provider, and cloud storage. Your use of those features is also subject to those providers' terms. We are not responsible for third-party services we do not control.
7. AI-Assisted Music Disclosure
Catalog music is AI-assisted. Our honest, detailed stance, what a buyer can rely on and what we do not warrant, is in the AI Disclosure Policy at /legal/ai-disclosure-policy. Read it before you license.
8. Disclaimers
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, except for the specific warranties written into a license agreement you buy. We do not warrant the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Orcha is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or data, arising from your use of the Site. For any licensed track, the liability cap in that track's license agreement controls. For everything else on the Site, our total liability is capped at the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $100.
10. Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify Orcha against any claim arising from your use of the Site, your breach of these terms, or your violation of anyone's rights.
11. Changes
We may update these terms. If we make a material change, we will post the new version with a new "Last updated" date and, where reasonable, give notice. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept it. A change does not alter a license you already bought.
12. Termination
We may suspend or end your access to the Site at any time if you breach these terms. Sections that by their nature should survive (content ownership, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, governing law) survive termination.
13. Force Majeure
We are not responsible for a delay or failure caused by something beyond our reasonable control — for example, an outage or failure of a third-party service we depend on (like our payment processor, email provider, or hosting), a natural disaster, war, labor action, or a change in law. Our obligations are suspended for as long as the event lasts, and we will use reasonable efforts to work around it. This does not excuse your obligation to pay amounts already owed.
14. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these terms, or any account or rights under them, without our written consent. We may assign these terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, with notice where reasonable. These terms bind and benefit each party's permitted successors and assigns.
15. Notices
We give you notice by email to the address on your account or by posting on the Site; notice is effective when sent or posted. You give us notice by email to licensing@orchacollective.io; notice to us is effective when we receive it. Copyright notices go to the Designated Agent in the Copyright and DMCA Policy.
16. Governing Law and Disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Georgia, and you consent to that jurisdiction and venue.
