Waveship Terms of Service
Effective date ·
Welcome to Waveship. These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of Waveship, including our website, early-access pages, invite list, beta features, artist applications, and applications, and any related services.
By accessing or using Waveship, submitting an early-access request, or creating an account, you agree to these Terms.
About Waveship
Waveship is a platform for human-made culture. We are building tools for artists, fans, and cultural communities to share work, tell the story behind it, and build direct relationships around original creative output.
Waveship is currently in private beta. Features may change, break, be unavailable, or be discontinued as we develop the platform.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Waveship. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use Waveship only with permission from a parent or legal guardian.
By using Waveship, you represent that you are legally able to agree to these Terms.
Accounts and Access
Some areas of Waveship may require an account or invite approval. We may accept, reject, delay, remove, or limit access to any beta application, invite request, or account at our discretion.
You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for any activity under your account.
You agree to provide accurate information and to update it if necessary.
Early Access and Beta Features
Waveship may offer early-access, private beta, experimental, or invite-only features. These features are provided for testing and feedback. They may contain errors, change without notice, or be removed.
You understand that beta features are provided “as is” and may not be suitable for mission-critical use.

- Violate any law or regulation.
- Infringe or misappropriate someone else’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.

- Scrape, crawl, harvest, or misuse data from Waveship without permission.
- Use Waveship to distribute spam, malware, or malicious content.
- Use Waveship in a way that could damage the platform, our users, artists or community.
We may remove content, restrict access, suspend accounts, or take other action if we believe these Terms have been violated.
User Content
“User Content” means anything you submit, upload, post, display, or otherwise provide to Waveship, including text, images, audio, video, artwork, profile information, event information, applications, comments, collections, or other materials.
You retain ownership of your User Content.

This license does not transfer ownership of your work to Waveship.
You represent that you have all rights necessary to submit your User Content and grant this license.
Creator Work and Intellectual Property
Waveship is designed to respect human-made work and creative ownership.
Creators remain responsible for ensuring that works, samples, images, music, recordings, names, likenesses, trademarks, and other materials they submit are properly owned, licensed, or authorized.
Waveship does not verify ownership of all submitted works during private beta and is not responsible for disputes between creators, fans, collaborators, labels, publishers, licensors, or other third parties.

If you provide feedback, suggestions, ideas, or comments about Waveship, you grant us the right to use them without restriction or compensation. This helps us improve the product.

Termination

Some provisions of these Terms will continue after termination, including intellectual property, user content licenses, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute provisions.
Disclaimers
Waveship is provided “as is” and “as available.”
We do not guarantee that Waveship will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or available at all times. We do not guarantee that beta features will launch publicly or remain available.
