Terms of Service
Hummory (“we”, “us”) is a place to share the stories songs hold. By creating an account you agree to these Terms and to our Community Guidelines. Please read them; they’re short.
Who can use Hummory
- You must be at least 13 years old. If you’re under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian’s permission.
- One person, one account. Your @handle is public and can’t be changed.
- You’re responsible for what happens on your account.
Your stories
- You own what you write. When you share a story, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute it inside Hummory and in features built on it (for example, a voice reading your story aloud in a future “Story Radio” mode, or a share card you choose to create). This license ends when you delete the story or your account, except for copies others already shared or that we must keep by law.
- Only share stories that are yours to tell. Don’t post other people’s private information.
- Lyrics: you may quote a short line or two you remember. Don’t post full lyrics or other copyrighted text.
- You can share one story a day. You can edit or delete your stories at any time.
Zero tolerance
We do not tolerate objectionable content or abusive users. Content that breaks the Community Guidelines may be removed without notice, and accounts that break them may be warned, suspended, or banned. You can report any story or person from the ••• menu, and block anyone at any time.
Music
Song information and 30-second previews come from Apple. We don’t host or sell music; “Listen on” links open other services, which have their own terms.
Copyright complaints
If you believe something on Hummory infringes your copyright, email hello@hummory.com with the content’s location, your work, your contact information, and a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn’t authorized. We’ll remove infringing content and may close repeat infringers’ accounts.
Ending your account
You can delete your account in the app (Profile → Edit profile → Delete account). We may suspend or end accounts that break these Terms.
Disclaimers
Hummory is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. Stories are written by members, not by us, and don’t reflect our views. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we aren’t liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to US 00.
Changes
If we change these Terms in a way that matters, we’ll tell you in the app before the change takes effect. Continuing to use Hummory means you accept the new Terms.
Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
