BeatXray Terms of Use

Effective date: August 17, 2026

1. Operator and acceptance

BeatXray is operated by Paul Bollinger, an Illinois sole proprietor located in Madison County, Illinois. These Terms govern your access to and use of BeatXray. By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or using the service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use BeatXray.

2. Eligibility and account security

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering a binding agreement. You must provide accurate account information, protect your sign-in credentials, and promptly notify BeatXray of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity conducted through your account unless prohibited by law.

3. Service and product disclaimer

BeatXray provides AI-assisted educational and creative analysis of rendered audio. Results may include estimated stems, tempo, key, chords, arrangement sections, MIDI material, and DAW-oriented assets. Results are estimates, not the original multitrack session or recovered plugin chain, and may contain errors, omissions, approximations, or incompatible settings. You must review outputs before relying on, publishing, or distributing them.

BeatXray does not determine copyright ownership, grant music licenses, or guarantee that an intended use is lawful. You remain responsible for permissions and compliance with copyright, contract, platform, and other applicable requirements. BeatXray does not guarantee uninterrupted service, permanent file storage, compatibility with every DAW, version, or plugin, or any artistic, educational, or commercial outcome.

4. Uploaded content and permission to process it

You retain your rights in uploaded audio and generated results. You may upload only material you own or are authorized to submit for analysis. You grant BeatXray a limited, nonexclusive license to host, copy, process, analyze, and transmit the content only as necessary to provide, secure, and support the requested service. BeatXray will not use uploaded audio, stems, or analysis results to train AI models unless you later provide separate, explicit opt-in consent.

5. Prohibited use

You may not use BeatXray to infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights; upload unlawful, malicious, or unauthorized material; evade access controls; impersonate another person or creator; distribute unauthorized material; misrepresent estimated output as original session data; probe or disrupt the service; introduce malware; or use automated access that unreasonably burdens the service. BeatXray may remove content or restrict access when reasonably necessary to address abuse, security risks, legal demands, or violations of these Terms.

6. Subscriptions, cancellation, and refunds

Prices, features, taxes, and billing intervals are shown in Stripe Checkout before purchase. Monthly limits are enforced according to the plan associated with your account. You may cancel through the hosted Stripe billing portal at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period, and access continues through that date. Charges already paid are nonrefundable and are not prorated, except where required by law or when BeatXray approves a refund for a verified billing or service failure. Cancellation does not itself delete your account or analysis data.

7. Data deletion and retention

You may delete eligible terminal analysis jobs through the dashboard. Source audio and generated artifacts are scheduled for automatic deletion 30 days after a job becomes complete, failed, or cancelled; scheduled deletion is generally completed during the following daily cleanup cycle. Limited transaction, security, fraud-prevention, audit, and legal records may be retained longer where reasonably necessary. The Privacy Notice provides additional details.

8. BeatXray property and feedback

BeatXray and its software, branding, interface, documentation, and service content are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not transfer ownership of BeatXray technology to you. If you voluntarily provide feedback, BeatXray may use it without restriction or compensation, provided the use does not identify you publicly without permission.

9. Third-party services

BeatXray relies on third-party infrastructure and payment services. Those services may experience outages, change their functionality, or apply separate terms. BeatXray is not responsible for third-party products or conduct beyond its reasonable control, but this provision does not limit rights that cannot legally be waived.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BeatXray is provided “as is” and “as available,” without express or implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, noninfringement, accuracy, availability, or compatibility. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BeatXray and Paul Bollinger will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; lost profits, data, opportunities, or goodwill; or losses arising from unauthorized uploads, inaccurate analysis, incompatible software, service interruption, or third-party services. Total liability for claims relating to BeatXray will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid BeatXray during the 12 months preceding the claim or $100. These limits do not apply where prohibited by law and do not waive nonwaivable consumer rights.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BeatXray and Paul Bollinger from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your uploaded content, lack of required rights or permissions, unlawful use of the service, or material violation of these Terms. This obligation does not cover losses caused by BeatXray's unlawful conduct, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

13. Governing law and disputes

Illinois law governs these Terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, either party must send written notice to legal@beatxray.com and allow 30 days for informal resolution. Unresolved claims must be brought in an appropriate state or federal court serving Madison County, Illinois. Either party may bring an eligible claim in small-claims court.

14. Changes and general terms

BeatXray may update these Terms to reflect service, legal, or security changes. Material changes will be identified by a revised effective date and, when appropriate, additional notice. Continued use after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms without written permission; BeatXray may transfer them as part of a lawful reorganization or business transfer.
