Terms of Service

Last updated: October 27, 2026

1. Agreeing to these terms

These Terms are an agreement between you and Jyncs ("Jyncs", "we", "us") for the Jyncs app and website (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

2. Who can use Jyncs

• You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you.
• You need an iPhone running iOS 26 or later, and an Apple or Google account to sign in.
• Playing full songs needs an active Apple Music subscription. Without one, the app plays 30-second previews, and hosting a stream is not available.
• You may not use Jyncs if we have banned you, or if the law forbids it.

3. Your account

• Keep your account secure; you are responsible for what happens on it.
• Choose a username that does not impersonate anyone, mislead, or offend. Usernames are public.
• You can delete your account in the app (Profile, then Delete Account). Our Privacy Policy explains what that removes.

4. Content rules: zero tolerance

You are responsible for everything you post: chat messages, usernames, bios, stream titles and welcome text, song requests and voice messages. Don't post or record anything that:

• harasses, bullies, threatens or targets anyone;
• is hate speech, or attacks people for who they are;
• is sexual, pornographic, or sexualises minors in any way;
• is violent, encourages self-harm, or promotes illegal activity;
• impersonates a person or organization, or shares someone's private information;
• is spam, scams, or floods chat.

Also don't hack, overload or reverse-engineer the Service, get around its limits or security, use bots or scraping without our permission, or create accounts to evade a ban.

5. Reporting, blocking and moderation

• You can report a user or a chat message, and block a user, from their profile or from the message. Blocked users can't follow you or send requests in your streams, and you won't see their streams.
• Streamers can mute listeners in their own chat.
• We filter text for slurs and profanity, and we review every report. We aim to act on reports within 24 hours, for example by removing content or by suspending or permanently banning the account. We may also report illegal content to the authorities.
• We may remove any content, or suspend any account, that we reasonably believe breaks these Terms.

6. Streams and music

• Jyncs syncs when songs play; it doesn't stream audio. Every listener plays music through their own Apple Music account, under Apple's terms.
• Streamers pick songs from Apple Music's catalog only, and must not use Jyncs to share audio from anywhere else. Voice messages must be your own voice and must follow section 4.
• Listeners can't skip songs. Songs that aren't available in your country or account may be skipped or replaced.
• Apple Music, songs and artwork belong to Apple and the rights holders. Jyncs is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple.

7. Your content and our rights

You own what you post. You give Jyncs a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display and distribute it in order to run and promote the Service, ending when you delete it or your account (except copies we keep as our Privacy Policy describes). The Jyncs name, logo and app belong to us. We give you a personal, non-transferable license to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, as allowed by Apple's App Store usage rules.

8. Changes and ending

We may change or stop features, or these Terms. If a change to the Terms is significant, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect; continuing to use Jyncs after that means you accept it. You can stop using Jyncs at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms or if we must by law.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, including that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or have any particular song. Content from other users is theirs, not ours.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Jyncs is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data or profits, arising from the Service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to US$50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you; nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law that can't be waived.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California, unless your local consumer law gives you the right to bring a claim where you live.

12. Apple

If you got the app from Apple's App Store:

• These Terms are between you and Jyncs, not Apple. Jyncs, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
• If the app fails to meet a warranty that applies to it, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (Jyncs is free). Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
• Jyncs, not Apple, is responsible for any claims about the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, consumer protection, and claims that the app infringes someone's intellectual property.
• You confirm you are not in a country under a US government embargo or on a US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
