These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the GrooveNotes application ("App") provided by Infiniti Engineering, Inc. ("we", "us", or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App you agree to these Terms.
GrooveNotes is a personal vinyl record collection management application. You may use the App for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes. You must not misuse the App or attempt to access it using a method other than the interface and instructions we provide.
The App stores your music collection data on your device and, if enabled, syncs it across your devices via Apple iCloud. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Apple ID and devices. We do not have access to your iCloud data.
A. Developer API Key Requirement: To access certain advanced data enrichment, categorization, and automation features within GrooveNotes, you may be required to provide your own API key for the Google Gemini API. By generating and entering an API key, you acknowledge and agree that you are acting as a solo developer, administrator, or power-user of your own Google Cloud / Google AI Studio project. You assume full responsibility for complying with the Google AI Studio Terms of Service and the Gemini API Additional Terms of Service.
B. Data Privacy and Local Key Security: Your provided Gemini API key is stored locally on your device using secure storage protocols (Apple Keychain) and is never transmitted to or stored on servers owned or operated by GrooveNotes. The App acts purely as a local client proxy; all API calls to Google's generative models are made directly from your device to Google's API endpoints.
C. Purpose and Scope of AI Features: AI features within the App are intended strictly for personal productivity, personal data management, workflow automation, and organizational metadata enrichment (such as generating descriptions, summaries, or sorting criteria for your personal music collection). You agree that you will not use these integrated features for any prohibited commercial exploitation or in violation of the Google Prohibited Use Policy.
D. Disclaimer of AI-Generated Content: Any metadata, text, insights, or descriptions generated by the Gemini API within the App are the product of third-party artificial intelligence models. GrooveNotes makes no warranties or guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or appropriateness of AI-generated output. You acknowledge that generative AI models are subject to errors, and you are responsible for reviewing and verifying any AI-generated content added to your personal collection.
E. Cost, Quotas, and Service Availability: You are solely responsible for any data charges, rate limits, token usage, or potential billing associated with the API key you provide. GrooveNotes is not liable for service interruptions, changes to API pricing tiers, or the termination of your API key by Google.
If you contribute listening notes, replies, or other content to community features, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display that content to other users of the App. You retain ownership of your content and may delete it at any time. You agree not to post content that is unlawful, abusive, or infringes on the rights of others.
The App integrates with third-party services including Discogs, Google Gemini, and Google Firebase. Your use of these services through the App is subject to their respective terms of service. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content provided by third-party services.
A. Data Source and Attribution: GrooveNotes utilizes the Discogs API to provide music cataloging, inventory management, and descriptive metadata services. All product names, logos, and artist data are trademarks of their respective holders. Use of them does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by them.
B. Intellectual Property & Fair Use Policy: GrooveNotes does not own, store, or permanently host the album cover artwork displayed within the application interface. Album images are pulled dynamically via third-party APIs (including Discogs) and are displayed strictly for personal, non-commercial identification, informational indexing, and archival utility under the legal doctrine of Fair Use and the First Sale Doctrine.
C. Display Limitation: Artwork thumbnails are presented in a low-resolution format intended solely to assist the user in visually verifying physical media variants in their personal collection. GrooveNotes does not provide access to digital music streams, downloads, or commercial duplication services.
D. Takedown Policy (DMCA): If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content or artwork delivered via our third-party integrations infringes upon your copyrights, please contact [email protected] to request a local client-side filter. However, because images are hosted by Discogs, permanent removal requests must be directed to the data provider directly.
All rights, title, and interest in the App (excluding your personal data) are owned by Infiniti Engineering, Inc. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the App.
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of or inability to use the App.
A. Acknowledgement: You acknowledge that these Terms are concluded between you and Infiniti Engineering, Inc. only, and not with Apple, Inc. ("Apple"). Infiniti Engineering, Inc., not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and the content thereof.

C. Maintenance and Support: Infiniti Engineering, Inc. is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the App. You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
D. Warranty: In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Infiniti Engineering, Inc.
E.

G. Legal Compliance: You must represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
H. Third-Party Beneficiary: You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms within the App or on this page. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
