Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use AmpTree. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you represent that you have permission from your parent or legal guardian to use the Service where such permission is required by applicable law. You represent that the information you provide is accurate.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for your account and for keeping your credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us at info@amptree.io if you believe your account has been compromised.

3. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

AmpTree has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behavior. You agree not to:

• post or send harassing, threatening, hateful, discriminatory, sexually exploitative, or illegal content;
• exploit, endanger, or sexualize minors;
• impersonate any person or entity, including impersonating an artist, brand, or AmpTree staff, or falsely implying affiliation or endorsement;
• upload content you do not have the right to share, or that infringes others' intellectual property or privacy;
• spam, scrape, or attempt to defeat security, rate-limits, or app-integrity checks;
• use the Service to break the law.

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, at our discretion.

4. User Content and License

You retain ownership of the content you submit — your posts, replies, profile information, messages, photos, and videos (“User Content”). You grant AmpTree a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display your User Content solely to operate and provide the Service (for example, showing your posts to your community or your profile to other users). This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except (a) for content others have already shared or saved, (b) where retention is required by law, and (c) for the residual copies described in our Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for your User Content and represent that you have the rights to share it.

5. Direct Messages

Direct messages are visible to the participants in the conversation. You must follow these Terms in messages. When you delete your account, we delete your messages and remove your identity from shared conversations, but the other participant retains the messages they sent (see the Privacy Policy).

6. Artists, Names, and No Affiliation

Artist names, trademarks, logos, and likenesses are the property of their respective owners. The presence of an artist page, name, or content on AmpTree does not imply that the artist endorses, is affiliated with, or participates in AmpTree, unless expressly stated. AmpTree does not guarantee that any particular artist uses or will use the Service. If you are an artist (or an authorized representative) and want a profile changed or removed, contact info@amptree.io.

7. Merchandise and Third-Party Stores

Artists may link their own third-party stores (for example, Shopify). When you purchase merchandise, you are buying from the artist/merchant, not from AmpTree. AmpTree does not process payments, fulfill orders, or ship goods, and is not the seller of record. All sales, pricing, taxes, shipping, returns, refunds, and customer service for merchandise are the responsibility of the artist/merchant and their store provider. Your purchase is subject to that store's and Shopify's terms.

8. Intellectual Property (AmpTree)

The Service itself — including the AmpTree name, logo, and software — is owned by AMPTREE LLC and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the app for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or resell the Service.

9. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to notices of alleged infringement. If you believe content on AmpTree infringes your copyright, send a notice with the information required by the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512) to our designated agent:

We may remove infringing content and terminate repeat infringers.

10. Moderation, Suspension, and Termination

We may review, remove, or restrict content, and suspend or terminate accounts, that we believe violate these Terms or harm users or the Service. You may delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete Account; deletion is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The Service may contain links to third-party sites and services (including artist stores and social links). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, products, or practices. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any artist will participate.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AMPTREE LLC and its officers, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data, arising from your use of the Service.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AMPTREE LLC and its officers, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your User Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in Wisconsin have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the Service, except where prohibited by law.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
