Terms of Service

By accessing, browsing, or using the onomo platform located at onomo.io and any associated subdomains, applications, or services (collectively, the “Service”), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”), our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, our Refund Policy, our Cookie Policy, and our Copyright Policy, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and Onomo Inc. (“onomo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a company organized under the laws of the State of Georgia, United States.

Age Requirement. You must be at least thirteen (13) years of age to create an account and use the Service. If you are between 13 and 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction), you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). If we learn that a user is under 13, we will promptly delete their account and associated data.

Capacity. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement in your jurisdiction. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Compliance. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service complies with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations.

Account Creation. To access certain features of the Service, you must create an account by providing accurate, current, and complete information. You agree to update your account information promptly if it changes.

Account Security. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your password. You agree to notify us immediately at security@onomo.io if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your account credentials.

One Account Per Person. Each individual may maintain only one (1) account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits, abuse referral programs, exploit free-tier benefits, or evade enforcement actions is strictly prohibited and grounds for immediate termination of all associated accounts.

Account Sharing. Your account is personal to you and may not be shared with, transferred to, or used by any other person. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

onomo is a web-based digital audio workstation (“DAW”) that provides music production tools including, but not limited to: synthesizer engines, drum synthesis engines, audio effects processors, a step sequencer, a piano roll editor, an arrangement timeline, a mixer with bus routing, audio recording capabilities, a multi-pad sampler, and an AI-assisted composition system known as AIRESS (AI for Recording Engineering and Sound Support).

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, with or without notice, including adding or removing features, changing usage limits, or updating the user interface. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify users of material changes in advance.

No Uptime Guarantee. While we strive for high availability, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the Service. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, server issues, or circumstances beyond our control.

5.1 onomo's Intellectual Property. The Service, including all software, source code, synthesizer engines, drum engines, audio effects processors, DSP algorithms, AudioWorklet processors, user interface designs, graphics, logos, trademarks, trade names, documentation, and all other proprietary materials (collectively, “onomo IP”), are owned by Onomo Inc. and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the onomo IP.

5.2 Your Content — Ownership. You retain full ownership of all original musical compositions, audio recordings, sound designs, arrangements, and other creative works that you produce using the Service (“User Content”). onomo does not claim any ownership interest in your User Content. You are free to distribute, sell, license, or otherwise exploit your User Content without restriction or obligation to onomo.

5.3 Limited License to onomo. By uploading, storing, or transmitting User Content through the Service, you grant onomo a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, store, transmit, display, and reproduce your User Content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Service to you (e.g., cloud sync, playback, rendering, and export). This license terminates when you delete your User Content or your account.

5.4 No Monitoring Obligation. onomo does not pre-screen, monitor, or review User Content. However, we reserve the right to remove or disable access to any User Content that we believe, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms, infringes third-party rights, or is otherwise objectionable.

5.5 Synthesized Sounds. All sounds generated by onomo's built-in synthesizer engines, drum engines, and effects processors are produced through real-time mathematical synthesis (not sample playback of pre-recorded audio). These synthesized sounds are original outputs generated by the software's DSP algorithms in response to your parameter settings and note input. onomo makes no claim of ownership over sounds you synthesize, and you may use them freely in your productions. However, onomo does not warrant that any synthesized sound is free from perceptual similarity to sounds produced by other software or hardware instruments, as synthesis algorithms may produce acoustically similar results from similar parameter configurations.

6.1 Nature of AI Output. The AIRESS AI co-producer generates musical content including, but not limited to, drum patterns, melodies, bass lines, chord progressions, slide note sequences, lyrics, synth presets, and drum kit configurations (“AI Output”). AI Output is generated by machine learning models in response to your prompts and your project context. AI Output is provided as a creative starting point and tool, not as a finished work.

6.2 Usage Rights. You may use, modify, incorporate, and distribute AI Output in your musical productions without restriction or additional payment beyond your subscription or credit usage. Once you accept and incorporate AI Output into your project, it becomes part of your User Content.

6.3 No Guarantee of Originality. AI models are trained on large datasets and may generate output that bears similarity to existing musical works, patterns, or styles. onomo does not warrant or guarantee that AI Output is original, unique, or free from similarity to copyrighted works. You are solely responsible for evaluating AI Output before incorporating it into your productions and for ensuring that your final works do not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party.

6.4 No Copyright Guarantee. The copyrightability of AI-generated content is an evolving area of law. onomo makes no representation regarding whether AI Output, standing alone, qualifies for copyright protection in any jurisdiction. Your creative modifications, arrangements, and additions to AI Output may strengthen your copyright claim over the resulting work.

6.5 AI Data Processing. When you use AIRESS, your project data (track names, note data, mixer settings, tempo, key, and other musical parameters) is transmitted to our AI processing provider (currently Google Gemini) to generate contextually relevant responses. This data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We do not use your project data to train AI models. Our AI provider's data processing is governed by their own terms of service and privacy policies.

6.6 Indemnification for AI Output. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless onomo from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of AI Output, including but not limited to claims of copyright infringement, trademark infringement, or any other intellectual property claims related to works you create using AI Output.

7.1 Free Tier. The Service offers a free tier with limited storage, project count, AI message credits, and export options. The free tier provides access to all core creative tools (synthesizer engines, drum engines, and effects processors) without charge. We reserve the right to modify free-tier limits at any time.

7.2 Paid Subscriptions. Paid subscription plans (“Pro” and “Ultra”) are available on a monthly or annual billing cycle. By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize onomo to charge your designated payment method on a recurring basis at the then-current subscription rate until you cancel. Annual subscriptions are charged as a single payment at the beginning of each annual billing period.

7.3 AI Credit Top-Ups. Additional AI message credits may be purchased as one-time top-up packs. Purchased top-up credits do not expire and are consumed only after your monthly plan credits are exhausted. Top-up purchases are final and non-refundable.

7.4 Price Changes. We reserve the right to change subscription prices at any time. Price changes for existing subscribers will take effect at the start of the next billing cycle following at least thirty (30) days' written notice. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel your subscription before the new price takes effect.

7.5 Automatic Renewal. All paid subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you will retain access to paid features until then.

7.6 Failed Payments. If a payment fails, we may retry the charge and/or suspend access to paid features until payment is successfully processed. We are not responsible for any fees charged by your bank or payment provider in connection with failed or retried payments.

7.7 Taxes. All prices are exclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. You are responsible for all applicable sales tax, value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), or other taxes imposed by your jurisdiction.

8.1 No Refunds — Subscriptions. All subscription payments (monthly and annual) are final and non-refundable. When you cancel a subscription, you retain access to paid features through the end of your current billing period, but no partial or prorated refund will be issued for the remaining time. We encourage you to use the free tier to evaluate the Service before subscribing.

8.2 No Refunds — Marketplace Purchases. All purchases from the onomo marketplace (premium instruments, preset packs, sound packs, drum kits, and other digital content) are final and non-refundable. Digital content is delivered immediately upon purchase and cannot be “returned.”

8.3 No Refunds — AI Credit Top-Ups. All AI credit top-up purchases are final and non-refundable. Credits are delivered immediately upon purchase.

8.4 Exceptions. In the event of a verifiable technical error that results in a duplicate charge or an incorrect charge amount, we will issue a correction or refund for the erroneous amount. To request a billing correction, contact billing@onomo.io within thirty (30) days of the charge with your transaction details.

8.5 Chargebacks. If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or payment provider instead of contacting us directly, we reserve the right to immediately suspend your account pending resolution. Fraudulent chargebacks (i.e., chargebacks filed after legitimate use of the Service) may result in permanent account termination and collection action for the disputed amount plus any fees incurred.

For complete details, see our Refund Policy.

9.1 Marketplace Purchases. The onomo marketplace offers digital content including premium instruments, preset packs, sound packs, drum kits, and project templates created by onomo and by third-party community creators. All marketplace purchases are permanently owned by you — they survive subscription downgrades and cancellations. Projects using purchased items will continue to function correctly regardless of your subscription status.

9.2 Subscription Claims. Pro and Ultra subscribers receive a monthly allocation of free marketplace claims. Claimed items are permanently owned. Unused claims do not roll over to subsequent months. The number and value limits of claims are determined by your subscription tier and may be modified by onomo with reasonable notice.

9.3 Community Creator Content. Third-party creators may sell content on the onomo marketplace. onomo acts as a platform and payment processor for community creator transactions. onomo does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the quality, originality, or fitness for purpose of community-created content. Community creators are solely responsible for ensuring that their content does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party.

9.4 Creator Obligations. If you sell content on the onomo marketplace, you represent and warrant that: (a) you own or have all necessary rights and licenses to the content; (b) the content does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party; (c) the content does not contain malicious code, viruses, or harmful material; and (d) you will comply with all applicable laws and regulations. onomo retains a commission on each sale as specified in the creator agreement.

9.5 Marketplace Removal. onomo reserves the right to remove any marketplace content at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to intellectual property complaints, quality concerns, or policy violations. If purchased content is removed from the marketplace due to an intellectual property claim, users who previously purchased the content will retain access to their existing copy, but the content will no longer be available for new purchases.

Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. In summary, you agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of any part of the Service

• Use automated tools, bots, scrapers, or scripts to access, interact with, or extract data from the Service
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security, rate-limiting, or access-control features of the Service
• Create multiple accounts to abuse free-tier benefits, referral programs, or promotional offers

onomo respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement.

If you believe that content available through the Service infringes your copyright, please submit a DMCA takedown notice in accordance with our Copyright Policy. Notices should be sent to our designated DMCA agent at dmca@onomo.io.

Repeat Infringers. In accordance with the DMCA, we will terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Counter-Notification. If you believe that content you posted was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification as described in our Copyright Policy.

12.1 Local Storage. By default, your project data is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB and localStorage. This data is stored on your device and is subject to the storage policies of your browser and operating system. Clearing your browser data, reinstalling your browser, or using a different device will result in loss of locally stored projects unless cloud sync is enabled.

12.2 Cloud Storage. If you create an account and enable cloud sync, your project data is transmitted to and stored on our servers. We use commercially reasonable security measures to protect your data, but we do not guarantee against data loss. Cloud storage limits are determined by your subscription tier.

12.3 Your Responsibility. You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of your important projects and data. onomo is not liable for any loss of data, regardless of cause, including but not limited to server failures, software bugs, browser updates, accidental deletion, or account termination. We strongly recommend exporting finished projects regularly.

12.4 Account Deletion. If you delete your account, all associated cloud-stored data will be permanently deleted within thirty (30) days. This action is irreversible. Locally stored data on your device is not affected by account deletion.

13.1 Downgrade Principle. We are committed to the principle that nothing you created or acquired through the Service is ever destroyed by a subscription change. When you downgrade from a paid plan to a lower tier or to the free plan:

• All purchased and claimed marketplace items remain permanently accessible
• All existing projects remain accessible (projects exceeding the lower tier's project limit become read-only)
• Storage exceeding the lower tier's limit enters a grace mode — existing data is preserved but new uploads are restricted until you are within the limit
• AI credits, export formats, and collaboration features adjust to the lower tier's limits

13.2 No Obligation. While we intend to maintain this downgrade protection policy, it is provided as a good-faith commitment and not a contractual guarantee. We reserve the right to modify this policy with reasonable notice.

14.1 Termination by You. You may terminate your account at any time through your account settings. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. If you have an active paid subscription, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

14.2 Termination by onomo. We may suspend or terminate your account immediately, without prior notice or liability, if: (a) you breach any provision of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy; (b) we are required to do so by law; (c) your account has been flagged for fraudulent activity; or (d) we reasonably believe that your continued use poses a risk to the Service, other users, or third parties.

14.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination: (a) all licenses granted to you under these Terms immediately terminate; (b) you must cease all use of the Service; (c) we may delete your account data in accordance with our data retention policies; and (d) any outstanding payment obligations survive termination. Termination does not entitle you to any refund of subscription fees, marketplace purchases, or AI credit top-ups.

14.4 Survival. Sections 5 (Intellectual Property), 6 (AI-Generated Content), 8 (Refund Policy), 12 (Data Storage and Backups), 15 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 16 (Limitation of Liability), 17 (Indemnification), 18 (Dispute Resolution), and 19 (Governing Law) survive termination of these Terms.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Without limiting the foregoing, onomo does not warrant that: (a) the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; (b) the results obtained from the Service will be accurate or reliable; (c) any errors in the Service will be corrected; (d) the Service will meet your specific requirements; (e) AI-generated content will be original, accurate, or suitable for any particular purpose; or (f) synthesized sounds will be free from perceptual similarity to sounds produced by other software or hardware.

You acknowledge that audio production involves inherent risks including but not limited to hearing damage from excessive volume levels. You are solely responsible for monitoring output levels and protecting your hearing.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ONOMO'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO ONOMO IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($100.00).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

18.1 Informal Resolution. Before filing any formal legal proceeding, you agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute with onomo informally by contacting us at legal@onomo.io. We will attempt to resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days of receiving your notice.

18.2 Binding Arbitration. If informal resolution is unsuccessful, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

18.3 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND ONOMO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and onomo agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

18.4 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.

18.5 Statute of Limitations. You agree that any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arose, or the claim is permanently barred.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent that arbitration is not applicable, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, United States.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Refund Policy, and Copyright Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and onomo regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Waiver. The failure of onomo to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder without our prior written consent. onomo may assign these Terms without restriction.

Force Majeure. onomo shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemic, government actions, power failures, internet disruptions, or third-party service outages.
