Terms of Service

1. The service

Hum to Search helps identify music from audio clips. Humming and original-recording recognition use different providers and may not always be available. Results are possible matches, not guarantees of a correct song, artist, recording version or rights ownership.

Recognition depends on audio quality, provider coverage and service availability. We may apply request limits, change features, or temporarily suspend access for maintenance, security or provider interruptions.

2. Eligibility and acceptable use

You must be at least 13 and legally able to agree to these terms, or have a parent or guardian’s permission where required. You agree to use the service lawfully and responsibly.

• Only submit audio you have the right or permission to use, including permission from people you record.
• Do not upload unlawful content, confidential recordings or malicious files.
• Do not bypass usage limits, interfere with security, overload the service or misuse access to third-party providers.
• Do not use results to misrepresent authorship, licensing or ownership of music.

We may restrict access when reasonably necessary to address abuse or violations of these terms.

3. Your audio and intellectual property

You retain any rights you hold in your submissions. You authorize us to process and transmit your audio to the recognition providers needed to fulfill your request. This permission does not transfer ownership of your audio to us.

Music, artwork, artist names and third-party metadata belong to their respective owners. A recognition result or streaming link does not grant a license to copy, distribute, download or commercially use a song. Our site branding and original content remain protected by applicable intellectual property law.

4. Privacy and third-party services

Our Privacy Policy explains audio processing, analytics, advertising and privacy choices. Recognition providers and external websites operate under their own terms and policies. Links and advertisements do not imply our endorsement of their content or offers.

Hum to Search is an independent website and is not an official Google, Shazam or SoundHound product.

5. Pricing and refunds

Our launch pricing is $5 USD for 50 credits or $10 USD for 100 credits, purchased once with no subscription or automatic renewal. See Pricing for availability. Purchases require sign-in so the credits and payment record can be attached to your account.

New accounts receive 10 free credits. Each completed humming or original-recording search uses 10 credits, including a completed search with no match. Recognition accuracy is not guaranteed. Invalid uploads and technical errors do not use credits; credits reserved for a failed request will be returned to the balance.

After paid access launches, you may request a refund for a wholly unused credit pack within 14 days of purchase by emailing support@humtosearch.app with your order reference. Used or partially used packs are not refundable except where required by applicable law. Duplicate charges, incorrect charges and undelivered credits will be investigated and corrected. Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method; processing time depends on the payment provider.

Any applicable taxes and the final total will be shown before payment. Browsing the website does not authorize a charge. External purchases follow the external provider’s terms. Nothing in this policy limits statutory consumer rights.

6. Availability and responsibility

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided as available, without guarantees of uninterrupted access or recognition accuracy. Verify results before relying on them. We are not responsible for losses caused by reliance on an incorrect match or interruptions outside our reasonable control, to the extent the law permits.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Applicable mandatory laws and remedies continue to apply.

7. Changes and contact

We may update these terms as the service changes. Revisions will be published here with an updated date, with any additional notice required by applicable law. If you no longer agree, stop using the service.
