Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Lyricate ("the Service"), available at lyricate.app, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Lyricate is a web-based tool that allows users to search for song lyrics across multiple public sources, translate them, annotate Japanese text with furigana and romaji readings, and render lyrics as print-ready PDFs. The Service does not host or store lyrics permanently — it acts as a search and display intermediary.

3. Intellectual Property

All song lyrics, translations, and related metadata displayed through the Service are the intellectual property of their respective copyright holders (songwriters, publishers, labels, etc.). Lyricate does not claim ownership of any lyrics content. The Service merely provides tools to search, view, annotate, and format this content.

If you believe that content accessible through the Service infringes your copyright, please see our DMCA Policy.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. In particular:

• PDF exports and other outputs generated by the Service are intended for personal and educational use only. You may not redistribute, sell, or commercially exploit exported content without authorization from the relevant copyright holders.
• You may not use the Service to systematically scrape, crawl, or bulk- download lyrics content.
• You may not attempt to circumvent any rate limiting, access controls, or security measures of the Service.

5. Third-Party Services

Lyricate integrates with third-party APIs and services to provide features such as AI-powered annotations, text-to-speech, and machine translation. When you use these features, your input text may be transmitted to third- party providers (e.g., Google, DeepL) for processing. Lyricate is not responsible for the data practices of these third-party services. Please review their respective privacy policies for details.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Lyricate does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any lyrics, translations, or annotations displayed through the Service. Lyrics content is sourced from third-party providers and may contain errors.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lyricate and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or any damages resulting from reliance on content provided by the Service.

8. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
