Terms of Service

These Terms are a binding agreement between you and SongRegister HQ, LLC, a California limited liability company (“we”, “us”), covering your use of SongRegister HQ at https://www.songregisterhq.com (the “Service”).

By creating an account or using the Service you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to create an account.

This section matters more than any other. Read it before you rely on the Service for anything with a deadline.

SongRegister HQ is a preparation and record-keeping tool. It stores the information registrations ask for, assembles it into the shape each destination expects, and sends you to that destination to file.

We do not submit anything on your behalf. We are not an agent, administrator, publisher or filing service. We do not transmit applications to the U.S. Copyright Office, BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, SoundExchange, any distributor, or anyone else. Every filing is made by you, on that organization’s own website, under your own account.

• We do not guarantee that any registration is accepted, processed, or processed within any period of time.
• We do not guarantee that you will receive any royalty, payment or recovery.
• We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for the U.S. Copyright Office, BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, SoundExchange, DistroKid, CD Baby, or any other organization named in the Service.
• Marking something “registered” in the tracker records what you told us. It does not verify anything with that organization.

Copyright, publishing and royalty rules are law. The Service presents general information — including fees, eligibility rules and deadlines such as the three-month window relevant to statutory damages — as a convenience. This is not legal advice, we are not your lawyers, and no attorney-client relationship is created. Fees and rules change, and the figures shown may be out of date.

Nothing in the Service is tax or financial advice. Consult a qualified professional before making decisions about your rights or your money.

You are responsible for your credentials and for everything done through your account. Use a password you do not use elsewhere, and tell us at support@songregisterhq.com if you believe it has been compromised.

One account is for one person or entity. Do not share logins.

You keep all ownership of the information you enter — your profile, songs, splits, registrations and any files you upload (“Your Content”). We claim no rights in your musical works.

You grant us only the limited licence needed to run the Service for you: to store, process, back up and display Your Content to you and to anyone you share it with. That licence ends when you delete the content or your account, subject to backups described in the Privacy Policy.

Split sheets contain other people’s personal information. When you enter a collaborator’s name, IPI or share, you confirm you are entitled to provide it and to have us process it for you. You are responsible for telling your collaborators that their details are stored here. See the Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for the accuracy of everything you enter. A registration prepared from wrong data will be wrong.

• Do not claim rights in works you do not own or control.
• Do not use the Service to infringe anyone’s copyright or to file false claims with any organization.
• Do not upload another person’s data without a lawful basis for doing so.
• Do not attempt to access other users’ data, probe or disrupt the Service, or scrape it in bulk.
• Do not resell or white-label the Service without our written agreement.

We may suspend or close an account that breaches this section, and we will tell you why unless we are legally prevented from doing so.

Parts of the Service are free. The registration preparation tools and catalog import require a paid plan.

• Monthly — $9.99 per month. Your subscription renews automatically every month at $9.99 USD until you cancel. You may cancel at any time from your Account page, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for.
• Lifetime — $149 one time. A single payment of $149 USD. This does not renew and you will not be charged again. “Lifetime” means for as long as we operate the Service; it is not a promise that the Service runs forever.

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never receive or store your full card number. Prices are in U.S. dollars and exclude any tax we are required to collect.

Refunds and cancellation are covered in full by our Refund & Cancellation Policy, which is part of these Terms. In summary: you may cancel a monthly subscription at any time and keep access until the end of the period you have paid for, and payments are otherwise non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise.

We may change prices. A change to a recurring price will be told to you by email before it takes effect and will apply only from your next renewal, so you can cancel first.

The Service links out to organizations where you file, and depends on service providers listed in the Privacy Policy. We do not control those organizations, their sites, their fees or their decisions, and we are not responsible for them.

We aim to keep the Service running but do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error free. We may change, suspend or discontinue features. If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will give reasonable notice and a way to export your data.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is 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 information in the Service — including fees, deadlines, eligibility rules or links — is accurate, complete or current.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost royalties, lost rights, missed deadlines, or lost data.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of the two sections above may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability for fraud, or for anything that cannot be limited by law.

You will indemnify us against claims arising from your use of the Service, from content you enter, and from filings you make — including a claim by a collaborator or rights holder about a registration you prepared here.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from the Account page. Deleting your account removes Your Content as described in the Privacy Policy. Cancelling a paid plan is covered by the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

We may suspend or end your access for breach of these Terms, for non-payment, or if we must do so by law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

Before filing anything, please write to support@songregisterhq.com and give us thirty days to resolve it. Most problems are a misunderstanding and a refund or a fix ends them.

Nothing here prevents either of us from bringing a claim in small claims court, and nothing waives any right you have under the laws of your home jurisdiction that cannot be waived by agreement.

We may update these Terms. If a change is material we will email registered users and update the effective date above before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the new version. If you do not, cancel and stop using the Service.

If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them to a successor of our business. These Terms and the policies they reference are the entire agreement between us about the Service.
