Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-07

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using IndieCrave (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

2. Who we are

The Service is operated by IndieCrave, LLC. Contact us at support@indiecrave.com.

3. Accounts

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater. You are responsible for the activity on your account.

4. Artist content + copyright

Artists retain ownership of music they upload. By uploading, you grant IndieCrave a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, stream previews of, and sell that music on your behalf. You represent that you own or are authorized to distribute every recording you upload — uploading copyrighted material without authorization is cause for immediate termination and may result in legal action.

5. Purchases + payments

Music sales are processed by Stripe under Stripe's terms. Payments to artists go directly into the artist's Stripe Connect account; IndieCrave never holds artist funds. IndieCrave charges $0 commission on music sales — only Stripe's processing fees apply.

Tier subscriptions (Indie tier and any future tiers) are billed in advance at the price displayed at checkout. You can cancel any time from your account; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid period.

5a. Sales tax + VAT

Tier subscriptions: IndieCrave is the seller of record for tier subscriptions and collects applicable sales tax or VAT through Stripe Tax, included on your invoice at checkout.

Music sales: For music, album, and tip purchases, the individual artist is the seller of record — funds flow directly into the artist’s Stripe Connect account, and IndieCrave does not hold or process those proceeds. Each artist is solely responsible for collecting, reporting, and remitting any sales tax, VAT, GST, or other transaction taxes owed on their sales based on their jurisdiction and the buyer’s jurisdiction. IndieCrave does not provide tax advice and does not collect or remit taxes on behalf of artists in v1. Artists should consult a tax professional regarding their obligations, particularly once they cross economic-nexus thresholds in any jurisdiction.

6. Refunds

Music purchases are non-refundable except when required by law or at IndieCrave's sole discretion. Tier subscriptions: pro-rated refunds are not offered when you cancel mid-period; your subscription remains active through the period you've already paid for.

7. Prohibited uses

• Uploading content you don't have rights to.
• Harassing other users or artists.
• Attempting to circumvent our payment, distribution, or rate-limiting systems.
• Reselling music outside of IndieCrave's marketplace mechanisms.

8. Termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. Music previously purchased by other users remains accessible to those buyers regardless of artist account status.

9. DMCA

See our DMCA policy for our copyright takedown process.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, IndieCrave, LLC's liability for any claim related to the Service is limited to the amount you've paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $50, whichever is greater.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be announced via email and / or an in-app notice 30 days before they take effect.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of the State of Texas.
