Terms of Service

BopMe is a brand operated by Beekman One LLC, 4001 N Ravenswood Ave, Chicago, IL 60613.

1. Acceptance & eligibility

By using BopMe you agree to these Terms and to the following, which are incorporated by reference: our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and Content Guidelines. You must be 18 or older. If you don’t agree, don’t use the service. Section 12 requires most disputes to be resolved by binding, individual arbitration and waives class actions — please read it.

2. What BopMe is

BopMe creates short, AI-generated novelty songs for entertainment. Songs are machine-written and machine-performed; results vary and may be inaccurate or unexpected. It’s a fun/joke product — we make no promise that a song will be funny, accurate, or fit any purpose.

Songs are works of novelty entertainment and commentary. They do not state real facts and do not represent the views of, or any affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement by, any real person, brand, or artist. Any resemblance to a real person or brand reflects the inputs you provide, not us.

3. Price & payment

$5.00 per song (one-time). Prices may change prospectively. On the web, payment is processed by Stripe. In our iPhone app, payment is an Apple in-app purchase processed by Apple at the price shown in the App Store for your region, which may differ from $5.00 and is charged in your local currency. Any video you ask us to make is included at no extra charge.

4. Your rights in the song

Your licence. You get a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use your song for anything, personal or commercial. Share it, post it, sell it. We won’t charge you again. It ends only if you take a refund or we remove the song under §8.

We don’t say you own it, because nobody can. AI music may not qualify for copyright at all, and the model that makes the audio doesn’t hand ownership to us. So we grant you every right we have, and we do not warrant ownership, copyrightability, title, or non-infringement. You are responsible for how you use and distribute your song.

5. Your responsibilities & the subject of the song

You are solely responsible for your inputs, your song, and how you use, share, and distribute it. You represent and warrant that:

• you have all rights, permissions, and consents needed for every real person named or described in your inputs, and for anything you submit;
• if the subject is a child, you are their parent or guardian, or you have permission from someone who is;
• the subject is not a nationally known public figure, celebrity, or recording artist;
• your inputs and your use of the song will not infringe any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property right, and will not violate anyone’s rights of privacy or publicity;
• you will not use the song to harass, defame, threaten, impersonate, or mislead anyone, or to send unsolicited or unlawful messages;
• you have the right to share every photo you upload, including the right to share every person shown in it;
• if a child appears in a photo you upload, or in the details you give us, you are that child’s parent or guardian, or you have permission from someone who is;
• you will comply with our Content Guidelines and all applicable laws.

Prohibited content is described in the Content Guidelines.

6. License to BopMe

You grant BopMe a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and use your song and its lyrics in order to operate and improve the service — including delivering it to you and hosting the reveal page your recipient opens — and to promote the service. We rely on your representations above when we display or feature a song. You can request removal at any time (see §8).

Photos are carved out. The promotional part of this license does not cover photos you upload or a photo video made from them. We use those only to make and deliver your video and to host it for your recipient. We will not use them to promote the service unless you separately agree at the time.

7. Acceptable use

No hate speech, harassment, targeting protected classes or minors, real celebrity/public-figure naming, or voice impersonation. Nothing that sexualizes anyone, and never a minor. We moderate inputs and may block, remove, or take down content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

We are not obligated to monitor. We screen inputs and uploaded photos because we want BopMe to stay fun and safe, not because we have agreed to. We have no obligation to pre-screen, monitor, or review any content, we do not guarantee that screening will catch everything, and doing any of it does not create a duty to do it. We may act, or decline to act, on any content at our sole discretion, with or without notice.

8. Takedown, DMCA & removal

We may remove any song at our discretion. If you are the subject of a song, or believe a song violates your rights, tell us using “Report this song” on the song’s page or by emailing support@bopme.co — we act on valid reports promptly.

Copyright (DMCA). If you believe content infringes your copyright, send a written notice with the elements required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) — identify the work and the infringing material, your contact information, a good-faith statement, a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act, and your signature — to our Designated Agent:

DMCA Agent, Beekman One LLC
4001 N Ravenswood Ave, Chicago, IL 60613
dmca@bopme.co

We remove or disable infringing material, may notify the affected user, and accept a counter-notice to the same agent if your content was removed by mistake.

Repeat infringers. If we receive two or more valid infringement or rights complaints about songs from the same buyer, we stop accepting orders from them and may remove their songs. Because BopMe has no accounts, we identify buyers by phone number. We may act sooner in a clear case. If a payment is taken before we apply this, we refund it.

9. Disclaimers

The service and songs are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” and to the maximum extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including the implied warranties of MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, and NON-INFRINGEMENT, and any warranty of accuracy, availability, uninterrupted or error-free operation, or that a song will be funny. That’s why a free remix and a money-back guarantee are included — and, as set out in our Refund Policy, that guarantee is your sole and exclusive remedy if you are not happy with a song.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and regardless of the form of action (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise), BopMe’s total liability for all claims is limited to the amount you paid for the song at issue. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill, even if we were advised such damages were possible. These limits apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain exclusions, so parts of §9 and §10 may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the smallest amount the law permits.

11. Indemnification

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BopMe and Beekman One LLC from any claims, damages, losses, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your inputs, your song, your use or distribution of the service or the song, or your breach of these Terms — including claims of intellectual-property infringement, violation of rights of privacy or publicity, defamation, or unlawful or unsolicited messaging. This section survives termination.

12. Dispute resolution, arbitration & class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully — it affects how disputes are resolved.

a) Talk to us first. Before starting an arbitration or lawsuit, email support@bopme.co with a description of the issue and the resolution you want. We’ll try in good faith to resolve it. Neither side may begin formal proceedings for 60 days after that notice (this period tolls any deadline).

b) Binding arbitration. If we can’t resolve it, any dispute will be settled by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court — except as noted below. The arbitration is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

c) Class-action waiver. Disputes will be brought only in your individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not preside over more than one person’s claims.

d) 30-day opt-out. You can opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@bopme.co with your name and “Arbitration Opt-Out” within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out won’t affect the rest of these Terms.

e) Coordinated (mass) filings. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed by or with the coordination of the same or coordinated counsel, the demands will be batched into stages of up to 50, each stage resolved (including any bellwether proceedings) before the next begins, with fees and timelines set accordingly. The statute of limitations is tolled for demands awaiting a later batch.

f) Small claims & carve-outs. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. Nothing here prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other relief in court to protect intellectual property or to stop misuse of the service.

g) Who decides what. The arbitrator decides all issues except that a court decides the enforceability of the class-action waiver and the coordinated-filings provision. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a claim, that claim proceeds in court; the rest of this section still applies.

h) One-year deadline. Any claim relating to BopMe must be filed within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred, to the extent the law allows.

i) Jury-trial waiver. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and BopMe each waive any right to a jury trial.

13. Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. For any matter not subject to arbitration, the state and federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to venue there.

14. Your data & deletion requests

To access or delete your data — or content about you as the subject of a song — email support@bopme.co. See our Privacy Policy for details and your rights.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms; material changes will be posted with a new effective date. If you use BopMe after that date, you accept the updated Terms. If you don’t agree, stop using the service. Changes don’t apply retroactively to a dispute we already have notice of.

16. General

Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest of these Terms stay in full force.

No waiver. If we don’t enforce a provision, that isn’t a waiver of it or of any other provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms. We may assign them, including to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, financing, or sale of assets.

Events outside our control. We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by something beyond our reasonable control, including the failure, suspension, or unavailability of a third-party AI, payment, hosting, or messaging provider, network outages, or changes in law.

Survival. Sections 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 16 survive any termination.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and Content Guidelines, are the entire agreement between you and BopMe about the service, and replace any earlier understanding.
