Terms of Use

End User License Agreement · Effective November 8, 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and hymnbio for using the hymnbio iPhone app and hymn.bio. Please read them. By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them.

1. The agreement

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and [Developer legal name], [Postal address, city, country] (“hymnbio”, “we”, “us”). They apply to the hymnbio app for iPhone (the “app”), public profile pages and the website hymn.bio (together, the “Service”). Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information and is part of these Terms.

The app is licensed, not sold, to you. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. The app asks you to accept these Terms before you can create an account or post anything.

2. Who can use hymnbio

• You must be at least 13 years old, or older if your country requires it for using online services without parental consent.
• If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian has read and agreed to these Terms with you.
• You may not use hymnbio if we have previously removed your account, or if you are barred from receiving services under the laws that apply to you.

3. Your account

• You are responsible for what happens on your account. Keep access to your Apple ID and device secure.
• Only one person may use an account. Don't sell, transfer or share it.
• Your username must not impersonate another person, brand or artist, mislead people about who you are, or contain offensive words. We may reclaim usernames that break these Terms, that are inactive for a long time, or that a trademark owner has a legal right to.
• You can delete your account at any time from inside the app (tap your name on your profile › Delete account). This permanently removes your profile and content as described in the Privacy Policy.

4. Your content

“Your content” means anything you add to hymnbio: your name, username, profile photo, folders and their names, memory photos and notes, and the songs your profile shows.

• You own it. You keep all rights you have in your content.
• You let us show it. To run the Service, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, resize, display and distribute your content inside hymnbio, on your public profile and in share cards you create. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies others have already shared outside hymnbio and short-term backups.
• You are responsible for it. You confirm you have the right to post your content, and that it doesn't break the law or these Terms. Only post photos of other people if they are happy for you to do so.
• It is public. Your profile and what's on it can be seen by anyone with your link. See the Privacy Policy for the details.

5. Community rules

You agree not to post, upload, write or share anything, in your profile, folders, memories or notes, that:

• is hateful, demeaning or discriminatory towards people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability or serious illness;
• bullies, harasses, threatens, intimidates or targets another person, or encourages others to do so;
• is sexually explicit, pornographic or sexually suggestive, or involves nudity;
• sexualises, endangers or exploits minors in any way (we report this to the authorities);
• shows or glorifies graphic violence, self-harm, suicide, cruelty to animals, or promotes terrorism or violent extremism;
• promotes illegal drugs, weapons, gambling or other illegal activity;
• shares someone's private information (such as their address, phone number or ID documents) without their permission;
• impersonates any person, artist, brand or hymnbio, or falsely claims an affiliation;
• infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other rights;
• is spam, a scam, misleading or advertising for something unrelated to your music.

You also agree not to: misuse or attack the Service, access it by automated means (scraping, bots), try to get around blocks, filters or bans, create accounts to evade enforcement, reverse-engineer the app except where the law allows, or use hymnbio to break any law.

An automated filter checks names, usernames, folder names and notes before they are published. The filter helps, but it doesn't make objectionable content acceptable when it slips through.

6. Reporting and blocking

• Report. Every profile, folder and memory has a menu with Report. Choose a reason and add a note if you like. The person you report is not told who reported them.
• Block. The same menu lets you block the user. Blocked users' content disappears from your view immediately and they can no longer see your profile in the app. You can unblock them from your profile editor.
• Review. We review every report within 24 hours. If content breaks these Terms, we remove it and act against the account that posted it.
• Contact. You can also report by email at [email protected]. If anyone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first.

7. Enforcement

If we believe you broke these Terms, we may remove or hide content, reset your username, limit features, suspend or permanently remove your account, and block you from creating new accounts. For serious breaches, especially anything involving minors or threats to safety, we act immediately and may report to law enforcement. Where it is safe and lawful, we will tell you what we did and why, and you can ask us to review the decision by emailing support.

8. Music, artwork and Apple

• hymnbio shows information about songs in your Apple Music library: titles, artists, album artwork and 30-second previews, provided by Apple. All music, artwork, names and trademarks belong to their respective artists, labels, publishers and Apple. hymnbio does not own them and does not grant you any rights in them.
• hymnbio does not let you download, copy or record music, and you agree not to try. To listen to a full song, hymnbio sends you to Apple Music or the iTunes Store, where Apple's terms apply.
• Apple Music, iTunes Store, App Store and Sign in with Apple are trademarks of Apple Inc. hymnbio is an independent app; it is not made, sponsored or endorsed by Apple.
• Song details may be incomplete, wrong or removed by Apple or the rights holders at any time, and some songs may not be available in your country.

9. Your license to the app

Subject to these Terms, we give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the app for your personal, non-commercial use on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. The app may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing. You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the app, copy or modify it, or create works derived from it, except as the law expressly allows.

10. Our property

The app, the website, the hymnbio name, logo and design are owned by us and protected by law. Except for your content and the music information that belongs to others, all rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without any obligation to you.

11. Copyright complaints

If you believe something on hymnbio infringes your copyright or other rights, email [email protected] with: your contact details; a description of the work; the link to the hymnbio profile or item; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised; a statement that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for them; and your physical or electronic signature. We will remove infringing content promptly and remove accounts of repeat infringers.

12. Price and changes to the Service

hymnbio is currently free. If we ever add paid features, we will tell you the price and terms before you buy, and purchases will be handled by Apple through the App Store. We may change, add or remove features. If a change significantly reduces what you can do, we will tell you in advance where reasonably possible.

13. Ending the agreement

You can stop using hymnbio and delete your account at any time. We may end this agreement or suspend your access if you break these Terms, if we must by law, or if we stop providing the Service (in which case we will give you reasonable notice and a way to keep a copy of your memories where possible). When the agreement ends, your license to use the app ends, and you must delete the app. Sections 4 (for content already shared), 8, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 19 survive.

14. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We are not responsible for content posted by other users, or for Apple services and other third-party services you reach through hymnbio. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract.

15. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, hymnbio will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD 50.

Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you. We do not limit liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited under applicable law.

16. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to compensate us for reasonable claims, losses and costs (including legal fees) arising from content you post or your serious breach of these Terms.

17. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts and enforcement offices of [City], Türkiye, have jurisdiction, but if you are a consumer you may also bring a claim in the courts where you live, and you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence. Before going to court, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue.

18. Terms required by Apple

Because you got the app from the App Store, the following also apply, and override anything inconsistent in these Terms:

1. Acknowledgement. These Terms are between you and hymnbio only, not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). hymnbio, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are hymnbio's sole responsibility.
5. Product claims. hymnbio, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the app or your possession and use of it, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
6. Intellectual property. If any third party claims that the app or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, hymnbio, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
7. Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
8. Developer contact. Questions, complaints or claims about the app go to: [Developer legal name], [Postal address, city, country], [email protected].
9. Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the app, including your wireless data service agreement and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
10. Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

19. General
