Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Kaldrik ("Kaldrik", "the Service", "I", "me", or "my"), a web application for planning multitrack recording sessions, operated by an individual based in Texas, United States. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use Kaldrik. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate.

2. The Service

Kaldrik lets you create and store one or more projects for planning recording sessions, each containing song structures, arrangements, tempos, keys, lyrics, input lists, tracking orders, credits, notes, and session planning data (schedule, crew, budget, costs, taxes, quotes, invoices, and recorded payments), plus reusable libraries of contacts, gear, and studios, venues, and bands, studio room bookings, and calendar reminders, and to export, print, and invoice that data (individually or all projects at once). The Service is provided to help you organize your own work.

Kaldrik also offers an audio review feature. You may upload audio files (for example mixes, masters, or stems) to a project, keep multiple versions, and optionally share them through a read-only link so others can listen, leave time-stamped comments, and approve or request changes without signing in. Uploaded audio is stored privately and is reachable only through short-lived links generated for the people you choose to share with. You are solely responsible for ensuring you own or have the rights to any audio you upload (see Sections 4 and 5).

Kaldrik can also record quotes and payments for your sessions. This is record-keeping only: figures you enter by hand to track what you have quoted, billed, and received. Kaldrik does not process payments and does not collect or handle any card or bank account details. Any actual payment happens outside Kaldrik, through whatever method you and your client arrange.

Kaldrik also offers an optional read-only share link feature. If you choose to create a share link for a project, anyone who has that link can view a read-only copy of that project's contents without signing in. Each project has its own separate link, so sharing one project does not expose your others. The link always reflects your most recently saved data. Sharing is entirely optional and off by default; you can revoke a share link at any time from within the Service, which immediately disables access through that link. You are solely responsible for deciding who to share a link with and for any information you expose by doing so.

Kaldrik also lets you invite other users to collaborate on a project as an editor (can edit) or viewer (read-only). You control who you invite and their role, and you can change roles or remove collaborators at any time. You are responsible for deciding who to invite and for the project data you choose to share with them; collaborators must comply with the Acceptable Use section below. A studio or band logo and accent color you add for a shared page are your content (see "Your content"). Kaldrik records a log of project activity, including when collaborators (view-only collaborators included) open or change a project, which is visible to the project's members, including the owner.

A shared project page may allow people who have the link to leave comments and to check in: confirm their availability and mark which songs' parts they have learned. If you enable or keep these on, anyone with the link can post a comment or submit a check-in that is visible to you and to other viewers of that link. You are responsible for the share links you distribute and for moderating the discussion and check-ins on your shared pages. You are notified of new comments in-app and can delete any comment at any time. I may also remove content or disable a share link that I reasonably believe violates these Terms or the law. People who post comments or check-ins must comply with the Acceptable Use section below.

3. Your account

• When you create an account, you must affirmatively agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy by checking the consent box. I record your acceptance (including your email address, the date and time, the version of the documents accepted, and the IP address the acceptance was submitted from) as proof of agreement. See the Privacy Policy for details on this consent record.
• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account.
• You agree to provide accurate account information.
• I recommend enabling two-factor authentication for additional security.
• Notify me promptly through the contact page if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or its systems.
• Interfere with, disrupt, or place undue load on the Service or its infrastructure.
• Upload or store content that is unlawful, infringing, or that you do not have the right to use.
• Post comments or check-ins on a shared project page that are unlawful, harassing, infringing, or that you do not have the right to share.
• Upload a logo, avatar, or other image you do not have the right to use, or that is unlawful or infringing.
• Upload audio (such as a mix, master, or stem) you do not own or have the rights to share, or that is unlawful or infringing.
• Reverse engineer, resell, or attempt to extract the Service's source other than as permitted by law.

5. Your content

You retain ownership of the project data and content you create in Kaldrik. You grant me a limited license to store, process, and display that content solely as needed to operate the Service for you (for example, saving and syncing your projects). I do not claim ownership of your content and will not use it for any purpose other than providing the Service.

This includes any audio files you upload for review. They remain yours, are stored privately, and are served only through the short-lived links you create. The same limited license applies so Kaldrik can store the files and play them back for you and the people you share with. You are responsible for ensuring you hold all necessary rights to that audio.

Comments left by viewers on a project you share are content submitted by those individuals, not by me. As the project owner you control whether comments are shown and can delete any of them; I store them only to display them on your shared page and may remove content that violates these Terms. I am not responsible for, and do not endorse, comments or other content submitted through share links.

6. Intellectual property

The Kaldrik application, including its name, design, branding, and software, is owned by its operator and is protected by intellectual-property laws. © 2026 Kaldrik. All rights reserved. These Terms do not grant you any right to use the Kaldrik name or branding except as necessary to use the Service.

7. Copyright policy & DMCA notices

I respect the intellectual-property rights of others and ask you to do the same. I respond to proper notices of alleged copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and will, in appropriate circumstances, remove or disable access to material and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

Reporting alleged infringement. If you believe material on Kaldrik (for example audio, a logo, an avatar, or an image made available through a share link) infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, send a written notice to my Designated Copyright Agent (see below) that includes all of the following:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
3. identification of the material you claim is infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to let me locate it — because many links are short-lived, please include as much detail as you can: the share-link URL, the project or account where it appears, the file name, a page or comment timestamp, and/or a screenshot;
4. your contact information (name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address);
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

On receiving a notice that substantially complies with the above, I will expeditiously remove or disable access to the material and will notify the affected user that I have done so. If a notice is incomplete, I may contact you to ask you to correct it; a substantially incomplete notice may not be actionable until corrected.

Counter-notification. If your material was removed or disabled and you believe that was the result of a mistake or misidentification, you may send my Designated Copyright Agent a written counter-notice that includes all of the following:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before it was removed or disabled;
3. a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; and
4. your name, mailing address, and telephone number, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, the federal district court for any district in which Kaldrik may be found), and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or that person's agent.

On receiving a valid counter-notice, I will promptly send a copy to the original complainant and advise them that the material will be restored in 10 business days. I will then restore the removed material between 10 and 14 business days after forwarding your counter-notice, unless the complainant first notifies me that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity. (My separate right to remove content under these Terms may still apply.)

Repeat infringers. I will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. I keep a record of valid infringement notices received against an account and will disable or terminate accounts that accumulate them.

Misrepresentations. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

Designated Copyright Agent. Notices and counter-notices under this section should be sent to Kaldrik's Designated Copyright Agent:

Designated Copyright Agent, Kaldrik

This channel is only for copyright notices under this section; other messages sent here may not receive a response.

8. Use at your own risk: backups are your responsibility

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, with no warranties of any kind, and you use it entirely at your own risk. I may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time, and I do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

I do not keep backups of your song information or any other content you create. Data loss can occur for many reasons outside my control. You are solely responsible for keeping your own copies of anything important. Kaldrik provides export (.json and .xlsx) and print features for exactly this purpose, and you are strongly encouraged to export your projects regularly. I am not responsible for any loss of data, and no compensation will be offered for lost, corrupted, or unavailable data.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. I do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that your data will be preserved or recoverable, or that the Service will be secure, uninterrupted, accurate, or free of errors. Any reliance you place on the Service is at your own risk.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kaldrik will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service. To the extent liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the Service (if any) or USD $50.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. I may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or use the Service in a way that may cause harm. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends; sections that by their nature should survive (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will survive.

12. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by the Privacy Policy, which explains how your information is handled.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Comal County, Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

14. Changes to these Terms

I may update these Terms at any time, with or without prior notice. When I do, I will revise the "Last updated" date above, and significant changes will be reflected here. Your continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. (As noted in the Pricing section above, I will not begin charging an existing account without first giving notice and a chance to stop using the Service.)
