2. Description of Service

Crate is an AI-powered music research platform for DJs, radio producers, journalists, and music professionals. The Service provides tools for artist research, influence mapping, show preparation, playlist creation, and publishing — powered by AI models and integrated with third-party music and communication services.

3. Accounts

You must create an account to use Crate. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under it.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. You may not share your account credentials with others or create multiple accounts for the same person.

4. API Keys and Connected Services

Crate allows you to provide your own API keys (BYOK — Bring Your Own Key) for AI model providers and to connect third-party services like Spotify, Tumblr, Slack, and Google via OAuth.

• You are responsible for your own API key usage and associated costs
• You must comply with each third-party service's terms of use
• You can disconnect any service at any time through Settings
• We are not responsible for actions taken on your behalf through connected services based on your instructions to the AI agent

• Free plan: Limited research queries per month, basic features
• Pro plan: Increased limits, publishing, cross-session memory, and additional features
• Team plan: Shared access for organizations with a verified email domain

You can cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not offer refunds for partial months.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any illegal purpose
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, copy, or redistribute the Service
• Abuse rate limits or attempt to circumvent usage restrictions
• Use the Service to generate spam, misleading content, or impersonate others

• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure

7. Intellectual Property

Crate's software, design, branding, and documentation are owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws.

Content you create using Crate (research, playlists, published articles) belongs to you. However, AI-generated content may be subject to the terms of the underlying AI model provider (Anthropic, OpenRouter). You are responsible for ensuring your use of generated content complies with applicable laws and the terms of the AI providers.

8. AI-Generated Content

Crate uses AI models to generate research, summaries, and recommendations. You acknowledge that:

• AI-generated content may contain inaccuracies or errors
• We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of AI output
• You should verify important information before relying on it
• AI-generated content should not be treated as professional music industry, legal, or financial advice

9. Published Content

When you publish content through Crate to third-party platforms (Telegraph, Tumblr, Slack, Google Docs), that content becomes subject to the respective platform's terms of service. We are not responsible for content after it is published to external platforms. You are solely responsible for the content you choose to publish.

10. Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your use of the Service.

11. Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms. You may delete your account at any time. Upon deletion, your data will be removed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or an in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
