Terms of Service
Last updated: March 29, 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using Maiwav ("the Platform," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Platform. These Terms apply to all visitors, buyers, artists, and any other users of the Platform.
Maiwav is an AI music licensing marketplace that enables artists to upload, sell, and license AI-generated music tracks, and enables buyers to preview, purchase, and license those tracks for personal, commercial, royalty-free, or exclusive use.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account, subscribe as an artist, or make purchases on the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.
3. Artist Accounts & Subscriptions
Artists who wish to sell music on Maiwav must create an artist profile and maintain an active paid subscription. New artists receive a 7-day free trial. After the trial period, a recurring monthly subscription fee will be charged automatically to the payment method on file. You may cancel your subscription at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle.
Maiwav reserves the right to suspend or terminate any artist account that violates these Terms, including but not limited to accounts that upload infringing, fraudulent, or prohibited content.
4. Copyright, Intellectual Property & Artist Responsibility
This is the most important section of these Terms. Please read it carefully.
By uploading any music, audio, artwork, or other content ("Content") to the Platform, you represent, warrant, and agree to the following:
- You own or have the right to upload the Content. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any Content you upload does not infringe upon the copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, rights of publicity, or any other intellectual property rights of any third party.
- AI-generated content does not automatically mean copyright-free. If you used an AI tool to generate music, you are responsible for reviewing and complying with that tool's terms of service regarding commercial use, ownership, and licensing rights. Some AI tools retain rights to generated content or restrict commercial licensing.
- No copyrighted samples or melodies. You may not upload Content that contains, interpolates, samples, or is substantially similar to any copyrighted musical composition, sound recording, or other protected work without proper licensing and clearance from the rights holder.
- You grant Maiwav a license to host and display your Content. By uploading Content, you grant Maiwav a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, stream, and promote your Content on the Platform for the purpose of operating the marketplace.
- You are solely liable for your Content. Maiwav is not responsible for and expressly disclaims all liability arising from any Content uploaded by artists. Any claims, damages, losses, or legal actions resulting from copyright infringement or other intellectual property violations are the sole responsibility of the uploading artist.
⚠️ Maiwav is a platform provider and is not liable for copyright infringement committed by artists. Artists who upload infringing content may have their accounts terminated and may be subject to legal action by the rights holder. Maiwav cooperates fully with valid legal requests and DMCA takedown notices.
5. DMCA Takedown Policy
Maiwav respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). If you believe that any Content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice by contacting us at [email protected] with the following information:
- A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
- A description of the Content on the Platform that you claim is infringing, with sufficient detail to locate it.
- Your contact information (name, address, phone number, and email address).
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, Maiwav will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing Content and notify the affected artist. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.
6. Purchases & Licensing
When a buyer purchases a track on Maiwav, they receive a non-exclusive license to use that track in accordance with the license tier selected at checkout (Personal Use, Commercial Use, Royalty Free, or Exclusive Rights). The specific rights granted under each tier are described on the track detail page and in the license agreement provided at the time of purchase.
All sales are final. Refunds are not available for digital content once downloaded, except where required by applicable law. If you believe a track was misrepresented, contact us at [email protected].
Maiwav does not guarantee the accuracy of any license representation made by an artist. Buyers are encouraged to review license terms carefully before purchase. Maiwav is not liable for any disputes arising between buyers and artists regarding the scope or validity of a license.
7. Prohibited Content
You may not upload, post, or distribute Content that:
- Infringes any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right of any person or entity.
- Is obscene, defamatory, threatening, harassing, or otherwise unlawful.
- Contains malware, viruses, or any other harmful code.

Maiwav makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any Content on the Platform.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Maiwav and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Platform or any Content thereon, even if Maiwav has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
