Terms of Use

Last updated: June 22, 2026

Welcome to Loop. These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Loop Labs LLC ("Loop," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of our mobile application, websites, and platform services.

1.1 Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using Loop in any way, you're agreeing to these Terms. If something here doesn't work for you, we'd ask that you don't use the platform.

1.2 Eligibility & Account Responsibility

You must be at least 13 to use Loop. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian needs to be on board. Your account is your responsibility — keep your login secure and own what happens through it.

1.3 Platform Modification & Service Bounds

We're constantly improving Loop. That means features, reward tiers, algorithms, and interfaces may change without advance notice. We'll always aim to communicate meaningful changes, but we can't guarantee it for every update.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 22, 2026

2.1 Data Collection Protocols

We collect certain information to make Loop work — things like your name, email, device identifiers, location (via IP), and listening behavior. This helps us personalize your experience, keep the platform secure, and verify that ad impressions are legitimate.

2.2 Ad-Supported Systems & Tracking

Loop is ad-supported, which means we work with advertising partners and standard attribution tools to measure ad delivery. Device data is used to confirm that ad views are real, prevent bot abuse, and comply with regional privacy regulations.

2.3 Third-Party Sharing Limits

We don't sell your data. Full stop. We share information only with the services we need to run the platform — authentication providers, verified ad partners, and payment processors required to handle payouts.

Artist Distribution Agreement

Last updated: June 22, 2026

This Distribution Agreement applies exclusively to creators who submit audio assets, tracks, metadata, or custom media items to the Loop ecosystem.

3.1 Intellectual Property Rights Warranty

When you upload a song using an Upload Token, you're confirming that you own it — or have the rights to distribute it. That includes the master recording, any samples, lyrics, and artwork. If something is cleared incorrectly, that's on you.

3.2 Licensing Grants

You retain full copyright equity over your art. However, by publishing to the platform, you grant Loop a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to stream, compress, index, distribute, recommend, and play back your assets across all platform discovery layers and programmatic ad channels.

3.3 Platform Revenue Split Protocol

Loop implements a pay-as-you-go model entirely free from monthly subscription premiums. Net advertising revenues generated explicitly by streaming plays of your songs are allocated under a fixed 70/30 distribution protocol model. The uploading artist receives seventy percent (70%) of verified programmatic play payouts, while the platform retains thirty percent (30%) to handle infrastructure maintenance and stream distribution costs.

Community Guidelines

Last updated: June 22, 2026

4.1 Core Principles

Loop is built to nurture an open ecosystem connecting independent creators with organic listeners. We enforce a zero-tolerance policy against toxicity, hate speech, harassment, impersonation, and coordinate manipulation. All users must engage transparently across all discovery layers.

4.2 Prohibited Engagement Behaviors

  • Impersonation: You may not create profiles or upload media imitating established public figures, brands, or other creators without clear, explicit parody disclaimers.
  • Harassment & Bullying: Targeted abuse, hate speech regarding protected demographics, or continuous bad-faith engagement in public comments or artist portals is strictly prohibited.
  • Syndicated Manipulation: Coordinating groups or networks to artificially inflate or deflate specific creator track rankings, comment sections, or boost velocities violates community integrity.

4.3 Platform Enforcement Matrix

Violations of these guidelines can trigger tier-based sanctions at Loop’s sole discretion:

  • Tier 1 (Minor): Removal of offending content/comments and temporary restriction on social features (e.g., boosting, commenting) for 7 days.
  • Tier 2 (Moderate): Profile de-indexing from public recommendation feeds for 30 days and forfeiture of all active promotional rewards.
  • Tier 3 (Severe): Permanent account termination, permanent hardware ban, and complete asset clawback under Section 12 (Internal Fraud Playbook).

DMCA Policy

Last updated: June 22, 2026

5.1 Designated Copyright Agent Information

In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), Loop responds expeditiously to notices of alleged infringement. All copyright claims must be compiled and directed exclusively to our Designated Copyright Agent:

Email: support@loopmusic.store
Corporate Entity: Loop Labs LLC

5.2 Requirements for Filing a Formal DMCA Notice

To be effective under Section 512(c)(3), your written notification must include the following elements:

  • A physical or digital signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  • Clear identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list.
  • Precise identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, including the specific song_id, URL, or metadata path inside the Loop ecosystem.
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit Loop to contact the complaining party (address, telephone number, and email address).
  • A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

5.3 Counter-Notification Protocol

If your content was removed via a DMCA action and you believe this occurred due to mistake or misidentification, you may submit a formal counter-notification to support@loopmusic.store containing your contact info, signature, identification of the removed file, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal courts located in Tennessee under penalty of perjury. Loop will forward this to the original claimant. If the claimant does not file a court action within 10-14 business days, Loop will restore the material.

5.4 Strict Repeat Infringer Policy

Loop maintains a strict automated tracking registry for copyright infringements. Any creator account that accumulates three (3) verified DMCA takedown actions will be classified as a Repeat Infringer. Upon the registration of the third strike, the account will be automatically and permanently terminated, all media files wiped from active servers, and all pending wallet distributions forfeited to cover administrative legal expenses.

Quest & Rewards Policy

Last updated: June 22, 2026

How the Loop Works

Everything on Loop feeds into a single flywheel. Here's how it connects:

  • Discover — Open the app and explore new music in your Discovery feed. Every qualified listen earns you Quest progress.
  • Earn — Complete Daily Quests to unlock rewards, Boost allocations, and wallet credits backed by ad revenue.
  • Upload — Artists use earned or purchased Upload Tokens to publish songs to the platform and start earning 70% of their streaming ad revenue.
  • Boost — Use your Boost allocation to push a song you believe in. Boosted songs rise in Discovery, Trending, and Vibe recommendations — giving artists more listeners and giving you credit for spotting them early.
  • Repeat — More listeners generate more ad revenue, more Quest completions, more Boosts, and more opportunities for artists and fans alike. The loop keeps going.

6.1 Daily Quest Architecture and Milestones

Loop operates a promotional, ad-supported listener engagement system known as Daily Quests. Daily Quests reward active listeners for discovering music, completing songs, and participating in the platform ecosystem.

Daily Quest progress accumulates throughout the day as users:

  • Listen to at least thirty (30) seconds of eligible songs.
  • Complete required advertisement breaks.
  • Engage with the Discovery feed through normal listening behavior.

All Daily Quest progress resets globally at 12:00 AM each day. Unused progress does not carry forward into future calendar days.

6.2 Qualified Listening Activity

To advance Daily Quest progress, a listening session must qualify as legitimate platform activity.

A listening session is considered qualified when:

  • A minimum of thirty (30) seconds of the track is played.
  • The playback session remains active and uninterrupted.
  • Platform integrity systems determine the interaction to be genuine human activity.

Playback sessions generated through automation, artificial replay systems, or prohibited activity outlined in Section 12 are not eligible for Quest progression or reward calculations.

6.3 Playback Operations: Skip Mechanics

Each listener account receives three (3) complimentary skips. After all available skips have been used, an advertisement break must be completed before additional skips become available. Upon successful completion of an advertisement break, three (3) additional skips are automatically restored. This process may repeat throughout the listening experience.

6.4 Reward Distribution

Completion of Daily Quests may unlock promotional rewards, platform incentives, Boost allocations, or other engagement benefits as determined by Loop. Reward values, availability, and qualification requirements may vary over time and are subject to modification without notice.

Report System

Last updated: June 22, 2026

Loop gives every user a direct line to flag content or behavior that doesn't belong here. Reports are reviewed by our moderation team and cross-referenced against our automated detection systems.

How Reporting Works

You'll find a report option on every song, profile, and comment inside the app. Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) and select Report. You'll be asked to pick a reason — choose the one that best fits. You don't need to add extra notes, but detail helps us move faster.

After you submit, you'll get a confirmation that we received it. We don't share your identity with the person you reported.

What You Can Report

  • Fake streams / bot activity — accounts you suspect are using automation to farm Quest rewards or inflate play counts.
  • Stolen music — a song uploaded by someone who doesn't own it.
  • AI voice cloning — a track that imitates a real artist's voice without their consent and without an #AI tag.
  • Harassment or hate speech — comments, profile bios, or artwork targeting individuals or protected groups.
  • Spam / misleading metadata — titles, tags, or artwork designed to game Discovery rankings rather than accurately represent the content.
  • Impersonation — a profile pretending to be an established artist, brand, or public figure without a clear parody label.

What Happens After You Report

Our moderation team reviews every report, typically within 48 hours. Depending on findings, the outcome may range from a warning to content removal to a full account termination under the tier enforcement system described in Section 4.3. If we determine the reported content doesn't violate our policies, no action is taken — and we appreciate you flagging it anyway.

Abuse of the Report System

Reports are a trust-based tool. Filing reports in bad faith — for example, mass-reporting a competitor to suppress their visibility — is itself a violation of our Community Guidelines and may result in sanctions against your account.

Wallet & Payout Terms / Refund Policy

Last updated: June 22, 2026

7.1 Dual-Wallet Matrix

The Loop user interface maintains a real-time ledger split into two dynamic tracking segments:

  • Pending Wallet: A balance category containing rewards, incentives, and revenue currently undergoing verification and auditing procedures.
  • Verified Wallet: A balance category containing funds that have successfully completed the verification process and are eligible for withdrawal subject to platform requirements.

7.2 Financial Thresholds and Fees

  • Minimum Threshold: A user may request an external payout withdrawal only when their Verified Wallet balance reaches or exceeds a $10.00 minimum limit.
  • Platform Transaction Fee: To sustain automated clearing distribution networks, each withdrawal execution is assessed a flat 2.5% transaction platform fee deducted automatically at the moment of settlement.

7.3 Net-45 Clearance and Verification Timeline

All promotional balances, Quest rewards, and ad-split royalties go through a 45-day verification window. Funds stay in a pending state until 45 days after the end of the month in which they were earned. This hold lets our fraud detection systems (Section 12) confirm that the underlying activity was legitimate before releasing funds.

9.1 Refund Policy & Purchase Finality

All purchases on Loop — Upload Tokens and other digital items — are final. Because digital credits are delivered and activated immediately at checkout, we're not able to offer refunds after the fact. The one exception: if a confirmed double-charge occurs on our end, reach out to support within 10 days and we'll make it right.

Content & AI Music Policy

Last updated: June 22, 2026

10.1 Automated and Manual Ingestion Filters

Every audio file uploaded via an Upload Token must successfully clear a multi-tiered ingestion pipeline before publishing to public feeds. Loop utilizes automated acoustic fingerprinting libraries alongside manual moderation review boards to scan files for copyright infringement, malicious code artifacts, extreme explicit content, and metadata spam.

10.2 Takedown Justifications

Loop reserves the absolute right to remove, de-index, or scrub any media asset immediately without prior notification if the item contains unlicensed samples, audio profiles designed to mimic white noise or silence to exploit Quest counts ("stream baiting"), or artwork violating our core Community Guidelines.

11.1 Prohibited Synthetic Imitation & Voice Cloning

The upload and distribution of generative artificial intelligence tracks that clone, synthesize, or manipulate the distinct vocal traits, name, likeness, or performance signatures of established mainstream or independent artists without verified, legally documented bilateral contracts are strictly prohibited.

11.2 Requirements for Assistive AI Production Tools

Creators are permitted to distribute material produced with assistive AI engineering tools (such as software tools used for mastering or rhythmic quantization alignment). However, if a song features prominent synthetically generated vocal tracks, musical arrangements, or lyrics, the Creator must explicitly apply the standard #AI metadata classification tag within the upload layout configuration.

Internal Fraud & Enforcement Playbook

Last updated: June 22, 2026

12.1 Prohibited Interaction Vectors

Loop protects its ad partners and platform integrity through continuous monitoring. The following behaviors constitute fraud: Stream Farming — using bots, emulators, scripts, or click-farms to generate fake plays — and Ad Manipulation — using software to hide ads or simulate fake ad views.

12.2 Automated Tracking and Detection Logs

The verification engine continuously parses account telemetry logs, focusing on identical client device hardware tokens operating multiple concurrent playback interfaces, continuous 24-hour playback streams displaying zero biometric scroll data, and abrupt geo-locational IP drift anomalies.

12.3 Complete Revenue Clawback Protocols

If fraud is confirmed, the consequences are immediate and permanent: account suspended, 100% of Pending and Verified Wallet balances clawed back, and the hardware identifier banned from re-registering on Loop. There is no appeal process for confirmed fraud findings.

Definitions & Cross-References Matrix

Last updated: June 22, 2026

13.1 Local Glossary Definitions

  • Song: A digital audio recording and its associated metadata uploaded by a registered creator.
  • Boost: A platform engagement score attached to every eligible song. When you Boost a song, you're essentially casting a vote of confidence in it — telling the algorithm you believe in it. Boosted songs receive increased visibility across Discovery, Trending, and Vibe recommendation surfaces. Artists benefit from more listeners; fans get recognition for discovering great music early. Boost allocations are earned through Daily Quests or distributed as platform rewards.
  • Upload Token: A single-use creator publishing credit used to upload one Song to the platform.
  • Daily Quest: A promotional listener engagement program that rewards users for active listening, discovery, and platform participation throughout a single calendar day.
  • Qualified Listening Activity: Listening activity that satisfies Loop's minimum engagement requirements and passes platform integrity verification systems.
  • Pending Wallet: A balance category containing rewards, incentives, and revenue currently undergoing verification and auditing procedures.
  • Verified Wallet: A balance category containing funds that have successfully completed the verification process and are eligible for withdrawal subject to platform requirements.
  • Split Reward: The calculated advertising revenue allocation generated through eligible listening activity and distributed according to the applicable reward structure.
  • Discovery Feed: The primary listening experience where users discover new music, artists, and opportunities to earn rewards.
  • Trending: A promotional surface highlighting songs receiving elevated Boost activity and listener engagement.
  • Vibe: A personalized recommendation environment generated using listener behavior, preferences, Boost activity, and engagement signals.

14.1 Cross-References System Continuity

To ensure structural legal continuity, all sections must be interpreted together according to this system grid:

  • Financial Auditing Flows: Any balance tracked within the Dual-Wallet Matrix (Section 7.1) is subject to the security holds outlined in the Net-45 Settlement Cycle (Section 7.3) and may be completely invalidated under the Revenue Clawback Protocols (Section 12.3) if the session metrics fail Qualified Listening Activity (Section 6.2 & Section 13.1) rules.
  • Content and IP Enforcement: If an asset is flagged under the AI Music Policy (Section 11.1), it will trigger immediate profile extraction under Takedown Justifications (Section 10.2), a Tier 3 Sanction (Section 4.3), and processing under the DMCA Counter-Notification and Strike System (Section 5.4).
