SoundSift — Terms of Service
1. Who we are
SoundSift ("SoundSift," the "Service") is operated by Rulirela LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Rulirela," "we," "us," "our").
Rulirela LLC 2985 Grove Way Seguin, Texas 78155 United States support@soundsift.app
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the SoundSift website at soundsift.app, the SoundSift application at app.soundsift.app, and any related services we provide.
By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement.
The Service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. See our Privacy Policy for more.
3. What SoundSift does
SoundSift is an audio analysis tool. You upload an audio file, and the Service extracts acoustic features from it, produces suitability scores for common content formats, generates written narrative analysis using a third-party AI model, and displays interactive visualizations. You may export results.
SoundSift is an analytical aid. It produces estimates and opinions about audio characteristics — not guarantees, certifications, or professional advice. You are responsible for your own creative, technical, and commercial decisions.
4. Accounts
Access requires signing in with a Google account. When you sign in, we receive a Google account identifier and your email address. You are responsible for maintaining the security of the Google account you use and for all activity that occurs under your SoundSift account.
Notify us at support@soundsift.app if you believe your account has been accessed without your authorization.
5. Your content
You keep your rights. You retain all ownership of and responsibility for the audio files you upload ("Your Content"). We claim no ownership of Your Content.
Limited license to operate the Service. You grant Rulirela a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to process, transmit, and temporarily store Your Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you. This license exists only for as long as we are processing your file and ends when processing completes and the file is deleted.
We do not retain your audio. Uploaded audio files are held in temporary storage only for the duration of processing and your active session. They are deleted automatically by routine cleanup, and you may clear them immediately using the clear-files control in the application. We do not use Your Content to train AI models, and we do not sell, license, or share Your Content with third parties except as needed to provide the Service (see the Privacy Policy for the service providers involved).
You must have the right to upload it. You represent that you own Your Content or have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to upload it and to have it processed as described in these Terms, and that doing so does not violate any law or any third party's rights.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Upload content you do not have the right to upload, including material that infringes copyright or other intellectual property rights;
- Upload unlawful content, or use the Service for any unlawful purpose;
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' accounts, or our systems or networks;
- Interfere with, disrupt, overload, or attempt to degrade the Service;
- Circumvent usage limits, access controls, authentication, or billing mechanisms, including by creating multiple accounts to exceed free-tier limits;
- Use automated systems to access the Service in a manner that sends more requests than a human could reasonably produce in the same period;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code or underlying models of the Service, except to the extent this restriction is unenforceable under applicable law;
- Resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties as a service of your own without our written permission.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section.
7. Plans, billing, and payment
7.1 Free tier
SoundSift offers a free tier with a monthly analysis allowance. Free-tier limits are described in the application and may change. We may modify or discontinue the free tier at any time.
7.2 Paid plans
Paid plans and prices are listed on soundsift.app and in the application. As of the last updated date above, these are:
- SoundSift Pro Monthly — recurring monthly subscription
- SoundSift Pro Annual — recurring annual subscription
- SoundSift Pro 30-Day Pass — a single, non-recurring 30-day access purchase
7.3 Lemon Squeezy is our merchant of record
All purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy (Lemon Squeezy, LLC), which acts as the merchant of record and authorized reseller for SoundSift purchases. This means your purchase contract for payment is with Lemon Squeezy, Lemon Squeezy's name (typically shown as "LEMSQZY*") appears on your card or bank statement, and Lemon Squeezy is responsible for collecting and remitting applicable sales tax, VAT, and GST.
Rulirela does not receive, process, or store your payment card details.
Your use of the Service itself remains governed by these Terms.
7.4 Renewals and price changes
Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price for the plan until cancelled. The 30-Day Pass does not renew. We may change prices with notice; changes apply to renewals occurring after the notice period, not retroactively.
7.5 Cancellation
You may cancel a subscription at any time. Cancellation stops future renewals; access continues through the end of the paid period already in progress. See the Refund and Cancellation Policy for details.
8. Availability and changes
We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The Service depends on third-party infrastructure and may be affected by maintenance, outages, or provider failures outside our control.
We may add, modify, or remove features. If we make a change that materially reduces the core functionality of a paid plan, we will provide notice to the email address associated with your account.
9. Third-party services
The Service relies on third-party providers for hosting, authentication, payment processing, and AI-generated analysis. Those providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies. Our Privacy Policy identifies the categories of providers we use and what data they receive.
10. Intellectual property
The Service — including its software, scoring methodology, visualizations, interface, text, and branding — is owned by Rulirela LLC and protected by intellectual property law. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Service; they do not transfer any ownership to you.
The names "SoundSift" and "Rulirela" and associated logos are marks of Rulirela LLC.
You may use the analysis output the Service generates for you, including for commercial purposes, subject to these Terms.
11. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and may request account deletion at support@soundsift.app.
We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, or if continuing to provide the Service to you would create a security, legal, or operational risk. Where practical and lawful, we will give notice.
On termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive — including Sections 5 (your representations), 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15 — survive termination.
12. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that analysis output will be accurate or complete, or that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. AI-generated narrative content may contain inaccuracies and should be reviewed before you rely on it.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted.
13. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RULIRELA LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Rulirela LLC and its member, officers, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or connected to: (a) Your Content, including any claim that it infringes a third party's rights; (b) your use of the Service; or (c) your breach of these Terms or of applicable law.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and Rulirela agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute not subject to arbitration or small-claims resolution is the state or federal courts located in Guadalupe County, Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose law grants you the right to bring proceedings in your country of residence or to the protection of mandatory local consumer law, nothing in this section removes those rights.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. If a change is material, we will provide reasonable advance notice — by email to the address on your account, by notice in the application, or both — before it takes effect.
Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Service and cancel any active subscription.
17. General
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Refund and Cancellation Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Rulirela regarding the Service.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Force majeure. We are not liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
