Terms of Service
1. Who we are
WarmMaster ("WarmMaster", "we", "us") is an automated audio-mastering service operated by Børge Leskiewicz-Sæthran (operating as WarmMaster), based in Norway. You can reach us through our contact form. By creating an account or using the service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.
2. The service
WarmMaster takes an audio file you upload and returns an automatically mastered version. Mastering is fully automated. No human reviews your track, and results vary depending on the source material. We don't guarantee any specific outcome; the service is provided on an "as-is" basis.
- You add funds to your account in US dollars (no subscription) and pay only for the processing time each master uses. You can re-master a song with different settings any time.
- Uploaded tracks may be up to 15 minutes long and 500 MB.
- New accounts get 3 free trial masters, delivered as 60-second excerpts. Adding funds unlocks full-length downloads for masters made from that point on.
3. Your content and rights
You keep all rights to the audio you upload and to the masters you download. We claim no ownership of your music.
In return, you promise that:
- You own the audio you upload, or you have all necessary rights and permissions to upload it and have it processed.
- Your content does not infringe anyone else's copyright, trademark, or other rights, and is not illegal.
- You are solely responsible for the content you upload. If a rights-holder complains, that's between you and them.
You grant us a limited licence to store and process your audio only to provide the service to you (i.e. to master it and let you download it). We do not use your music for anything else.
4. Acceptable use
Don't upload content you don't have the rights to, don't use the service for anything illegal, and don't try to abuse, overload, or circumvent the service (including creating accounts to evade limits). We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules.
5. Payment
- Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
- Prices are shown in USD and may change; taxes may apply depending on your location.
- Your account is charged for each completed master based on its processing time. Because masters are delivered instantly and cost us compute, completed masters and account funds are non-refundable, except where required by law. If a master fails for a technical reason on our side, you are not charged for it.
6. Files and retention
Your uploaded tracks and finished masters are stored only briefly and then automatically deleted (see the Privacy Policy for the current window). Download your masters promptly. We are not a storage or backup service.
7. Availability and liability
We aim for reliable service but don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free. To the maximum extent permitted by law, WarmMaster is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 3 months before the claim.
8. Termination
You can stop using the service and request account deletion at any time. We may suspend or close accounts that violate these Terms.
9. Changes
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above; continued use means you accept the updated Terms.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Norway, and disputes will be handled by the courts there, unless mandatory consumer law says otherwise.
