Terms and Conditions

Last updated: November 9, 2026

These Terms govern your access to and use of SingFermata (“the Service”), a personal project operated by an individual under the name Fermata (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. About the Service

SingFermata provides tools for recording and editing vocal covers for personal use. You can upload audio for processing, including instrumental separation, melody detection, key changes and pitch correction, and record, edit and download your performances. The Service is offered without charge as a personal project. Its features may change, become unavailable or be discontinued.

2. Your account

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian. New accounts must provide and verify a valid email address before signing in. Keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account.

3. Your content and permissions

You retain any rights you hold in the material you upload and the recordings you create. These Terms do not transfer ownership of your content to us. By using the Service, you authorize us to store and process your content as needed to provide and operate the Service.

You may upload only material you own or are authorized to use. When uploading, you must confirm that you have the necessary rights; we record that confirmation. You are responsible for your uploads and for how you use or share your recordings. If you publish a cover, you are responsible for obtaining any required licenses. If a claim arising from your content or use of the Service results in costs, damages or legal fees for us, you agree to cover those amounts.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  1. upload unlawful material or material that infringes another person’s rights;
  2. access or attempt to access another person’s account or files;
  3. disrupt, overload or attempt to bypass the Service’s security or usage limits; or
  4. share your account with another person.

5. Privacy

Information we store. We store your username, email address and password hash, along with the content you upload or create and operational records needed to run the Service, such as processing jobs and account activity.

How we use it. We use your email address to verify your account and send password-reset messages. Our email delivery provider processes the address to deliver those messages. We use necessary cookies to keep you signed in and protect forms. Device preferences, such as your microphone choice, are stored in your browser and are not sent to us. We do not sell personal information or use advertising trackers. We record limited service-usage events for operations, security and staff reporting.

Access to content. Your files are private to your account and are not published for other users. We may access stored information when needed to operate or repair the Service, respond to a copyright complaint, or comply with law.

6. Data retention

We delete a cover’s song audio—including the uploaded song, its instrumental and key-changed versions— after 14 days without activity. Opening a cover, recording, editing it or downloading a mix restarts that period. Unused key-changed versions are deleted after 7 days and can be generated again. Takes, melody edits, lyrics and settings remain until you delete the cover. You may upload the same song again to continue working with it. When an uploaded file exactly matches one already processed, we may reuse the existing result. Deleting a cover removes its associated files. To request account deletion, contact us. Copies in backups may remain for a limited time.

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send us a notice that includes:

  1. your name and contact information;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work and the material you believe infringes it, with enough detail for us to locate the material;
  3. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent or the law;
  4. a statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on the rights holder’s behalf; and
  5. your physical or electronic signature.

We may remove content we believe infringes another person’s rights and may close accounts that repeatedly upload infringing material. If you believe content was removed in error, contact us.

8. Changes and account closure

We may update or discontinue the Service, revise these Terms, suspend or close accounts, or remove content at our discretion, including when these Terms are violated. We will update the date at the top of this page when these Terms change. Your continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. It may contain errors, experience downtime or lose data. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of anything you want to preserve.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages or losses arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service, including loss of files or recordings. If we are found liable, our total liability will not exceed US$50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so this section applies only to the extent permitted by law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us concerning the Service.
