Terms of Service

These terms cover your use of Echo Forte services — the website at echoforte.com, the mastering application under /app, and any human-delivered services (mixing, mastering, production, songwriting, AI finishing, ghost production). By uploading a file or purchasing a service you agree to these terms.

You retain full ownership of the audio you upload and the master we deliver back to you. We do not claim ownership of your music. You grant Echo Forte a limited, non-transferable license to analyse, process, store and deliver your files solely to provide the services you’ve paid for.

By uploading audio you confirm you own or control the rights to it. If you can’t clear that, don’t upload it — it saves everyone a fight later.

We store and process your uploads, analysis artifacts, previews and final outputs for the purpose of delivering the service you purchased. We do not use your audio to train AI models unless you explicitly opt in. We may retain anonymised technical metadata (e.g. loudness measurements) to improve the service.

You must not upload content that is unlawful, infringing, abusive, or intended to exploit our processing systems. You must not upload audio that you don’t have rights to. We reserve the right to refuse, remove or terminate service for any violation.

Each paid service has a stated deliverable — see the relevant service page or your order summary. Automated mastering delivers 24-bit WAV, 16-bit WAV, 320 kbps MP3 and a mastering report; productized mixing delivers mixed stereo files and (for the bundle) a mastered output with report; premium services are scoped per project.

We aim to deliver professional work that meets the spec of the service you purchased. We don’t warrant specific creative outcomes — chart position, stream counts, label interest — because those are outside our control. Mastering can improve suitable mixes; it cannot repair all source problems.

Our refund and credit policy lives on a dedicated page — see Refunds & Credits — and forms part of these terms.

Our aggregate liability for any service is capped at the amount paid for that service. We are not liable for lost profits, business interruption, or consequential damages.

We may update these terms as the service evolves. The version in force at the time you place an order is the one that governs that order.
