Terms & Conditions

1. Agreement

By installing or using Rythune (the “app”) you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not install or use the app. The app is Developed & published by ScientistsHub Labs, referred to below as “we” or “us”.

2. Licence to use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use. You may not sell, rent, sublicense or redistribute the app, and you may not reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to derive its source code except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it.

If you obtained the app through Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service also apply to that distribution.

3. Your music and your content

Rythune plays media files that are already on your device. We do not supply, host or license that music. You keep all rights in your own files, and we claim no ownership over them, over playlists you create, or over any other content you generate in the app.

4. Copyright responsibility

You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to store and play the files you use with the app. Do not use Rythune with content you are not permitted to possess or play. Where the app allows you to browse or download material from third-party catalogues, you are responsible for complying with the licence terms attached to that material.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the app for any unlawful purpose;
• Interfere with, disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the app, any device it runs on, or any service it connects to;
• Use the app to infringe the intellectual property rights of others;
• Remove, obscure or alter any proprietary notices contained in the app.

6. Third-party services and content

The app's optional online section retrieves content from third-party music services. That content is provided by those services on their own terms, and their availability, accuracy and licensing are outside our control. We are not responsible for third-party content, and linking to or retrieving it does not imply any endorsement or partnership.

The app is built on open-source components. Their licences are listed within the app and continue to govern those components.

7. Availability and changes

We may add, change, suspend or discontinue features of the app or this website at any time. We may release updates, and some updates may be required for the app to keep working correctly. We do not guarantee that the app will be available without interruption or that it will be compatible with every Android device, manufacturer customisation or battery-management policy.

8. Disclaimer

The app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the app will be error-free, that playback will never be interrupted, or that scanning will identify every file on every device.

You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of your music files. The app reads your files; it is not a backup service.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, or for loss of data, arising out of or in connection with your use of the app. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Note for the publisher: some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations. Have this section reviewed for the markets you publish in, and add any liability cap you intend to rely on.

10. Termination

You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your licence to use the app if you materially breach these terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including sections 8, 9 and 12 — will do so.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When we do, the “last updated” date above will change, and the revised terms take effect when published on this page. Continuing to use the app after that point means you accept the revised terms.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING JURISDICTION], without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of that jurisdiction will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have where you live.

13. Contact

These terms are a starting point that reflects how the app actually works. They are not legal advice; have them reviewed before you publish.
