MoryAudio

Effective 2026-04-29 · v2.0 — Open Infrastructure

Terms of Service

These Terms govern your access to MoryAudio (the "Service"), an open infrastructure operated by Morylen. By using MoryAudio you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Read this first

MoryAudio is a neutral platform. We host audio + metadata that artists upload. We do not curate, review, recommend, or rank content. We do not custody royalties — smart contracts on Polygon distribute payments directly between users. We make no guarantee of revenue, listener count, or content moderation. All licensing, copyright, tax, and regulatory obligations are the responsibility of the publishing artist.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use MoryAudio. Some on-chain features (staking, governance, fan-club Patron tier) additionally require you to be 18+ and to complete identity verification where applicable in your jurisdiction.

2. The platform's role — minimal intervention

MoryAudio provides:

  • Storage + delivery infrastructure (R2 / IPFS / HLS).
  • Listener discovery surfaces (search, sort, browse — by mechanical signal only, never editorial).
  • On-chain payment rails (HierarchicalRoyaltySplitter + MoryToken).
  • Tooling: account, wallet linking, fan-club, ticketing.

MoryAudio explicitly does not:

  • Curate, recommend, rank, or feature any specific artist or work.
  • Pre-screen, edit, or moderate uploaded content beyond automated abuse + copyright detection.
  • Custody, hold, or guarantee any royalty payments. Smart contracts execute autonomously.
  • Verify artist rights, sample clearance, or PRO licensing on the artist's behalf.
  • Provide tax, legal, or financial advice.

3. Account & security

You are solely responsible for your sign-in credentials and linked wallet. MoryAudio is not liable for losses caused by unauthorised access to your account or wallet.

4. Your content (User-Generated Content)

When you upload audio, artwork, lyrics, or other content ("Your Content") to MoryAudio, you retain all ownership and copyright. You grant MoryAudio a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to store, transmit, reproduce, and publicly display Your Content solely as necessary to operate the Service. This license terminates when you remove the content (subject to backups + on-chain immutability for already-issued royalty events).

You represent and warrant that:

  • You own or have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to upload Your Content.
  • Your Content does not infringe any third party's copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, or other rights.
  • You have cleared any samples and obtained PRO / mechanical licenses required in any jurisdiction where the Content is available.
  • You will accurately label AI-generated content per Section 6.
  • You are solely liable for any taxes, royalty splits, and disbursements between collaborators.

5. Prohibited content

You agree not to upload, stream, or distribute:

  • Content you do not own or have a license for.
  • Hate speech, harassment, sexual content involving minors, or unlawful material.
  • Malware, deceptive metadata, or fraudulently labelled AI content.
  • Content that violates the laws of your jurisdiction or any jurisdiction where the Content is reasonably accessible.

MoryAudio runs automated fingerprint matching (ACRCloud, Pex, AudibleMagic) and AI-detection pipelines on all uploads. These tools may automatically block or freeze content. Automated tooling is not editorial review; MoryAudio does not exercise human judgment over content quality, taste, or value.

6. AI-generated content disclosure

Per our P6 disclosure rule, AI-generated music must be self-labelled at upload time. Listeners always see the AI tag. We do not block AI content — we require it to be transparent.

7. Royalties — handled entirely by smart contracts

When you publish a track, the splits you configure are encoded in a HierarchicalRoyaltySplitter contract on Polygon. Streams, tips, ticket sales, and fan-club fees are paid in MoryToken (MORY) directly to each credited contributor on-chain.

MoryAudio does not custody, hold, escrow, or guarantee these payments. The contract executes autonomously. MoryAudio's platform fee (currently 5% of paid actions) is a separate on-chain transaction. We do not manually adjust any payout amount.

8. DMCA & takedown

MoryAudio is a "service provider" within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 512 and qualifies for the DMCA Safe Harbor. Rights holders can submit verified takedown notices via /legal/dmca. Verified notices freeze the affected track within 24 hours via the FREEZER_ROLE on the TrackRegistry contract. See also /legal/safe-harbor.

9. No guarantees

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" with no warranties of any kind, express or implied. MoryAudio does not guarantee:

  • Uninterrupted operation or specific uptime.
  • Any specific royalty amount, listener count, or visibility for your content.
  • That MoryToken (MORY) will hold any specific value.
  • That third-party DSPs, PROs, or wallets will operate as expected.
  • That the platform will continue indefinitely.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, MoryAudio's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the platform fees you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) US$100. MoryAudio is not liable for indirect, consequential, incidental, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or reputation harm.

11. Termination

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend accounts that violate these Terms. On-chain records (royalty events, NFT mints, votes) cannot be deleted but remain pseudonymous.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. Disputes shall first attempt mediation via the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board; if unresolved, exclusive jurisdiction lies with the Seoul Central District Court.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be announced 30 days before they take effect. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance.
