Terms of Use

In short

Grind is desktop software sold by subscription. Your files stay yours and stay on your machine. The subscription renews until you cancel, cancelling leaves you the days you have already paid for, and payment is handled by Lemon Squeezy, so we never see your card.

Who provides Grind

Grind is published and operated by its founder, based in France. Contact: contact@grindapp.io. These terms govern your use of the Grind application and of this website.

Using the software means you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not install or use it.

What you may do with the software

You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install and use Grind on the number of devices your plan allows, for as long as your subscription is active.

• You may not resell, rent, sublicense or redistribute the software.
• You may not attempt to circumvent the licence or device checks.
• You may not decompile or reverse-engineer the software, except where the law expressly allows it.

Your account

You need an account, and you are responsible for keeping its credentials to yourself and for what happens under it. Tell us at the address above if you believe it has been used without your permission.

You must be old enough to enter into a contract where you live.

Your content stays yours

Your beats, your files and the metadata you write about them belong to you. Nothing in these terms gives us any right over your work, and we do not receive your audio: it is read on your own machine.

Ending a subscription does not delete anything on your computer. Deleting your account is a separate action that only you can take.

Connecting a third-party account

Grind can optionally connect to accounts you already have elsewhere, such as a mail or storage account, so that it can act on your instruction. Those accounts remain governed by their own providers’ terms, and you can disconnect them at any time from the application’s settings.

What Grind does with data from a connected Google account is set out in the privacy policy and in the Google API disclosure.

The subscription

• The prices that apply are the ones shown on the pricing page, in the currency and with the taxes displayed at checkout.
• The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel it. A free trial does not cancel itself: if you do nothing, it becomes a paid subscription.
• You can cancel at any time. Cancelling stops the next renewal and leaves your access running to the end of the period you have already paid for. We do not pro-rate a period that has started.
• Lemon Squeezy is the merchant of record. It runs the checkout, takes the payment, applies the tax due where you are, and issues your invoice.
• If a payment fails, access may be suspended until it succeeds.

The right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer, you have fourteen days from the conclusion of the contract to withdraw from it, without giving a reason and without penalty. Write to contact@grindapp.io within that period.

Because Grind is digital content supplied immediately, you may be asked to acknowledge at purchase that supply begins at once and that your right of withdrawal ends once it has been fully performed, to the extent the law permits.

Availability, and what we do not promise

The software is provided as it is. We work to keep it functioning and available, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or free of defects, and we do not promise any particular commercial outcome from using it.

You are responsible for your own backups. Grind reads the files you already have; it is not a backup service.

Liability

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or under the legal guarantees owed to consumers.

Beyond that, and to the extent the law allows, our total liability arising out of these terms is limited to the amount you paid for the subscription over the twelve months before the event, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profits or lost opportunities.

Ending the agreement

You may stop using Grind and cancel at any time. We may suspend or end access if these terms are seriously or repeatedly broken, or if we are required to by law; where it is reasonable to do so, we will say why first.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the date at the top changes with it. A change that materially affects an active subscription is notified before it takes effect, and you may cancel if you do not accept it.

Law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you keep the right to bring proceedings before the courts that those rules make available to you.

Consumers in the European Union may also use the mediation and dispute resolution routes available to them.
