Terms of Service

Effective: August 6, 2026

Tap Five, LLC (“Tap Five”, “we”, “us”) makes Subdivide, an iOS app for musicians, and operates the subdivide.app website. These terms are an agreement between you and Tap Five covering the Subdivide sharing service and the website. By sharing a track, opening a share link, or using the site, you agree to them.

The app itself — installing and running Subdivide on your device — is licensed under Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement. These terms are in addition to that license, and govern the sharing service and the website. The Subdivide ChatGPT app has its own terms.

1. The sharing service

Sharing uploads a track — and for an audio cue track, its audio file — to our servers and returns a link. Anyone who has the link can open the track and download its audio until the link expires. A share link is unlisted, not secret. Shares expire 30 days after the link was created or last opened, whichever is later, and we may remove a share sooner as described in these terms. Initiating a share requires a Subdivide Pro subscription. Opening a share link does not, though some features for received shares — such as playing a shared audio cue track’s audio in the app — also require a subscription. We may change, suspend, or discontinue the sharing service at any time.

Sharing is not storage. A share link is a way to hand a track to someone, not a backup. Keep your own copy; when a share expires, it is deleted.

2. Your content

You keep every right you have in what you share. You grant Tap Five a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license — extending to the service providers that host the service for us — to host, store, reproduce, distribute, transmit, and display shared content solely to operate the sharing service: creating the link, serving the track and its audio to the people who open it, and creating and displaying the link’s preview image from the track’s labels and details. For each share, this license ends when the share expires or is deleted.

We do not review shared content before it is available. Labels pass through an automatic profanity screen, which is not review.

3. What you agree to

You have the rights to everything you share. Sharing a link distributes the track and its audio, and it is your responsibility to have the right to distribute what it contains.
You have any consent the law or your organization requires from people who can be heard on a recording you share.
You will not put other people’s personal information in track or cue point labels, which are visible to anyone with the link.
You will not misuse the service — no unlawful use, and no probing, scraping, overloading, or circumventing its limits.

4. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Our designated agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office (registration number DMCA-1077623):

Email is the fastest route. A complete notice includes:

identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed;
the share link (URL) of the material you claim is infringing, so we can find it;
your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf; and
your physical or electronic signature.

When we receive a complete notice, we remove or disable access to the material expeditiously and keep a record of the notice. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.

Counter-notices. If your share was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send our agent a counter-notice containing: identification of the removed material and the link where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; your name, address, and telephone number; a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, the District of Montana) and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent; and your physical or electronic signature. When we receive a complete counter-notice, we forward it to the person who sent the original notice. Unless that person tells us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action about the material, we may restore it in 10 to 14 business days, as section 512(g) provides.

Repeat infringement. Subdivide has no user accounts, so there is no account to terminate. Our policy is: we remove noticed content expeditiously, we keep records of the notices we receive, and where we can identify repeatedly infringing material or a source of repeated infringement, we take the steps available to our architecture to prevent further infringement, including refusing service.

5. Other objectionable content

To report a share that is unlawful or objectionable on grounds other than copyright, email hello@tapfive.dev with the share link. We may remove any share and revoke any link at our discretion, without notice.

6. Purchases

Subdivide Pro is sold through Apple’s App Store. Billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds are governed by your agreement with Apple. We never receive your payment details and cannot issue refunds ourselves.

7. Disclaimers

The sharing service and the website are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any share will remain available for any period of time.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tap Five’s total liability arising out of or relating to the sharing service or the website is limited to the greater of fifty U.S. dollars (US $50) or the amounts you paid, through Apple, for Subdivide Pro in the 12 months before the claim arose, and Tap Five is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data — keep your own copies. Nothing in this section limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or anything else the law does not allow to be limited. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you; where that is the case, our liability is limited to the greatest extent the law allows.

9. Responsibility for claims about your content

If someone brings a claim against Tap Five because content you shared infringed or violated their rights, you agree to cover the costs and damages that claim causes us, including reasonable legal fees. This applies only to claims about the content you shared, not to anything else, and not to the extent a claim results from our own conduct.

10. Age

The sharing service is not offered to children under 13. If you are under 18, use it only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. A parent or guardian who lets a minor use the service agrees to these terms on the minor’s behalf and is responsible for that use.

11. Termination

We may suspend or end access to the sharing service, remove shares, and revoke links at any time to enforce these terms or to protect the service, its users, or third parties.

12. Changes

We may update these terms. Changes take effect when posted here, and the date at the top reflects the current version. Using the sharing service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Montana, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Before filing any claim, email us — most issues can be resolved informally. Any dispute that cannot be must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Montana, and both sides consent to their jurisdiction. Either side may instead use small-claims court where its rules allow.

14. General

These terms, the documents they link to, and Apple’s license for the app are the entire agreement about the sharing service and the website. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, that part applies to the fullest extent the law allows, and the rest remains in effect. We may assign these terms as part of a sale or reorganization of Tap Five; you may not assign them.
