Copyright Policy

Effective date: October 4, 2026

In short: You choose the audio and must have a lawful basis for uploading and processing it. Tonamorph is a processing tool, not a music catalogue or sample-clearance service. A completed job does not authorise a subsequent release. We assess specific rights complaints, act where appropriate and terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. This policy does not guarantee legal immunity for either party.

1. Purpose and scope

1.1 This policy is published by Tonamorph — that is, the operator identified in section 1.1 of the Terms of Service ("we", "us"). It explains the content obligations in the Terms of Service and how to raise a copyright concern with us. It applies to private processing and related Service material.

1.2 We consider sufficiently specific notices under applicable law. Section 7 describes the US statutory counter-notification route where relevant. An ordinary complaint from another country need not include a US court-jurisdiction consent. We do not assert that publishing this policy automatically qualifies every Service activity for a statutory safe harbour.

2. Your material and responsibilities

2.1 Before submitting audio, establish that you have the rights, permissions, consents or other lawful basis needed for the upload and selected processing by us and our providers. You may act for a rights holder, use properly licensed material or rely on a lawful exception where it genuinely applies. You need not personally be the original author of every lawful submission.

2.2 You are responsible for permissions needed for your subsequent release, distribution, synchronisation, public performance, sale or other use. Recording rights, composition rights, performers' interests and other rights may require separate consideration. A modern recording can remain protected even when a composition is out of copyright. We do not provide rights clearance or represent that every case requires exactly the same set of licences.

2.3 Receiving a file, processing it and delivering stems or MIDI are not a rights check or endorsement. Processing does not make a source recording royalty-free or guarantee acceptance by a distributor or automated matching system. Payment buys processing, not a music licence. The Refund Policy distinguishes proper performance from a later rights-clearance problem.

2.4 Read the actual licence for loops, samples, Creative Commons and other externally licensed audio. Permissions may differ for private transformation, commercial use and redistribution of isolated stems. A licence may permit a private adaptation while restricting its publication or distribution. MIDI transcriptions and separated audio recordings may engage different rights. Check the permissions for the specific material and intended use.

2.5 No fixed number of seconds, label such as 'educational', or technical transformation is a universal permission to use protected material. Obtain advice for a disputed use rather than relying on a slogan.

3. Our role and handling of content

3.1 You supply and select the material. We provide the technical operations described in the Terms. We do not offer a streaming-music catalogue, select recordings for you or publicly share your private jobs. We do not undertake routine pre-clearance of each file, but do not ignore specific sufficiently substantiated information about unlawful use.

3.2 Input and Output are private and subject to Privacy section 5: operational files are deleted from our storage 24 hours after upload, subject only to a specific binding legal-preservation obligation. Download links and the files themselves have distinct lifecycles. We do not use Input or Output to train, fine-tune or evaluate machine-learning models, or to build model-evaluation datasets, and we do not allow our providers to do so. Some job, billing and complaint records may remain for separately stated lawful purposes.

3.3 An expired file may be unavailable by the time a complaint arrives. We can still assess identifiable records and account conduct. We do not extend every user's audio retention speculatively or promise to recreate deleted files for a complainant.

4. Where to send a notice

Send a notice to our Copyright Agent by email, with the subject Copyright notice, or by post:

Copyright Agent, Tonamorph
36 Brodetsky Street, Tel Aviv-Yafo 6905155, Israel
Phone: +972 53-847-0155
Email: legal@tonamorph.com

Include a reliable contact address. This contact handles complaints whether or not the US statutory route is available. Where we rely on a US designated-agent registration, its required particulars must also be published and match the US Copyright Office directory. A complaint is not rejected merely because it came through our ordinary legal contact.

5. What a complaint should contain

5.1 Identify the work you claim is protected and your authority to act; the material or conduct complained of; why you believe the use is unlawful; and enough information to locate it. For a private job, provide any job identifier, account identifier or approximate date you lawfully know. A URL can identify public material. Do not attempt unauthorised access to obtain additional evidence, and do not send unnecessary identity documents or unrelated private files.

5.2 A US notice intended to satisfy 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) should include: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the protected work (or a representative list where appropriate); identification and reasonably sufficient location information for the alleged infringing material; reasonably sufficient contact information; a good-faith statement that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or law; and a statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, you are authorised to act for the owner of the exclusive right concerned.

5.3 Where Article 16 of the EU Digital Services Act applies, provide a sufficiently substantiated explanation, the exact electronic location or information suited to identifying the relevant material, your name and email except where the law permits omission, and a good-faith statement that the information is accurate and complete. We do not impose US perjury or court-consent language on every such report.

5.4 Consider applicable licences and legal exceptions before reporting. Knowingly material misrepresentations can have legal consequences, including under §512(f) where applicable. This warning is not intended to deter a good-faith report.

6. How we handle notices

6.1 We acknowledge a notice where contact details permit, evaluate its sufficiency and relevant circumstances, and act expeditiously where required. We may request information reasonably needed to locate material or understand the claim. The absence of a job ID is not an automatic bar if the material can otherwise be identified.

6.2 Where appropriate or legally required, we remove or disable accessible material, restrict an affected function or account, and notify the user with reasons and the available review route, subject to lawful confidentiality and safety restrictions. A complaint is not itself a final judicial determination of infringement.

6.3 We disclose to the responding party only information needed for the relevant procedure. A statutory counter-notification may have to be forwarded in full; unrelated attachments and excessive personal information are not automatically included. The Privacy Policy explains complaint-related processing.

6.4 We assess submissions fairly, including those prepared with automated assistance. We do not reject a notice solely because it was automated. Abusive or manifestly unfounded submissions may be dealt with proportionately under applicable law.

7. Disputing a restriction and US counter-notification

7.1 You can seek an ordinary review at legal@tonamorph.com, identifying the decision and the reason it was mistaken. Supply relevant licence or other evidence only to the extent needed. We reconsider errors; a review request is not an admission of infringement.

7.2 Where the US §512(g) counter-notification route applies, a compliant counter-notification must identify the removed or disabled material and its former location, include your physical or electronic signature, and state under penalty of perjury your good-faith belief that removal or disabling resulted from mistake or misidentification. Include your name, address and telephone number; consent to the jurisdiction of the US federal district court for your address, or, for an address outside the US, any judicial district in which the service provider may be found; and agree to accept service from the original notifier or its agent.

7.3 We forward a compliant counter-notification and inform the original notifier of the statutory restoration timetable. Where that procedure applies, material still retained is restored or access re-enabled not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification, unless the designated agent first receives notice of a filed action seeking the relevant restraining court order, or another lawful independent ground prevents restoration. We do not shorten the notifier's applicable opportunity to inform us merely to ten days in every case.

7.4 We cannot restore an audio file already deleted under the ordinary retention schedule. That does not prevent correction of an erroneous account record or lifting a restriction. Independent lawful grounds for a restriction are assessed separately and explained where required.

7.5 Applicable EU or other statutory complaint and redress rights remain available. The ordinary review offered here does not assert that we are an 'online platform' for every DSA obligation, and does not replace a statutory procedure where one applies.

8. Repeat infringement

8.1 We terminate users who are repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Multiple adequately substantiated, separate incidents within a 12-month period trigger review for restriction or termination. Deliberate serious infringement may justify action after one incident. There is no entitlement to one 'free' infringement.

8.2 We assess substance, including withdrawn notices, substantiated counter-evidence, mistaken identity and the pattern of conduct. Duplicate messages about the same incident do not automatically create multiple strikes. An unsupported allegation is not automatically a confirmed infringement, and a court judgment is not the only evidence that may support proportionate action.

8.3 Material being already deleted neither automatically exonerates the account nor proves the allegation. Relevant records are retained only for the lawful purposes and periods described in the Privacy Policy. Users must not evade an appropriate termination by opening a replacement account.

9. Other rights and unlawful conduct

For a trademark, privacy, voice, publicity or other rights concern, contact legal@tonamorph.com and identify the issue and material. We use the applicable procedure rather than pretending every complaint is a copyright notice. Requests involving serious imminent harm are escalated promptly.

10. No clearance or legal advice

We provide a technical tool. This policy does not grant rights in third-party content, bind a rights holder who has not agreed to it, or decide that a specific use is fair use or another exception. Responsibility for our own acts remains subject to applicable law; user assurances are not a substitute for our own technology licences.
