By using SoundsDown you agree to the following terms. They are written to be as readable as
possible. If anything is unclear, contact us before you continue using the service.
1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using SoundsDown ("the Service") you confirm that you have read, understood,
and agreed to these Terms of Service and our
Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
2. What SoundsDown is
SoundsDown is a free online tool that lets you save publicly accessible SoundCloud tracks to
your own device as an MP3 (and, when the artist enables it, the original uploaded file). We
are an independent project and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by
SoundCloud Global Limited & Co. KG or any of its subsidiaries.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use SoundsDown. If you are in a jurisdiction with a
higher minimum age for online services, you must meet that age. By using the Service you
confirm you meet this requirement.
4. Acceptable use
You agree to use SoundsDown only for lawful, personal purposes. You will not:
- Download content you do not have permission to access or save.
- Re-upload, redistribute, sell, or monetize downloaded tracks without the original artist's permission.
- Use the Service to infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or any other legal right.
- Attempt to disrupt, overload, reverse engineer, or otherwise interfere with the Service or its infrastructure.
- Use automated tools, scrapers, or bots to bulk-download tracks without our written permission.
- Use the Service in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.
5. Intellectual property
SoundsDown does not own the tracks available through SoundCloud. All audio remains the
property of its original artists or rightsholders. Downloading a track does not transfer
ownership or grant a license to use the content commercially.
The SoundsDown name, logo, source code, and design are owned by us. You may not copy or
reuse them without permission.
6. Copyright and DMCA
We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content accessible through
SoundsDown infringes your copyright, send a notice to legal@soundsdown.com with:
- Identification of the copyrighted work.
- The URL or description of the infringing material.
- Your contact information.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on the rightsholder's behalf.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
We review valid notices promptly and may block access to the identified content while
we investigate. You can email the notice to legal@soundsdown.com or submit it with
the DMCA takedown form below.
7. No warranty
SoundsDown is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or
implied. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free,
compatible with every device, or that any specific track will be downloadable at any
given time. SoundCloud may change how tracks are served at any time, which can affect
functionality.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SoundsDown and its operators will not be liable for
any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of
data, lost profits, or business interruption — arising out of or related to your use of
the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
9. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SoundsDown and its operators from any
claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out
of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any
third-party right, including any intellectual property right.
10. Third-party content and services
SoundsDown interacts with content served by SoundCloud. We have no control over SoundCloud's
services, terms, or availability. Your use of any content you obtain is your own
responsibility and is subject to the original platform's terms.
11. Changes to the Service or Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or
without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the
Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. The "Last
updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
12. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately if we believe you have
violated these Terms or applicable law.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with generally applicable
international principles of online consumer law. Where the law of a specific jurisdiction
is required, the laws of the country where the Service operator is established will apply,
without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable
consumer rights you may have under the laws of your country of residence.
