Terms of Service
Last updated: June 3, 2026
These terms govern your use of CanSo. By creating an account or using the platform, you agree to them. Please read them carefully.
1. Acceptance
By accessing CanSo or any storefront we host, you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy. If you are using CanSo on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it to these terms.
2. Your account
- You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
- You are responsible for the activity under your account and for keeping your password secure.
- Provide accurate information and keep it current.
- Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.
3. Artist content and rights
You retain full ownership of everything you upload. CanSo claims no ownership of your music, art, or merchandise. You grant us only the limited, non-exclusive license needed to host, stream previews of, display, and deliver your content to the fans who buy or access it, and to promote it within the platform.
You represent that you own or are authorized to distribute everything you upload, including all underlying compositions, recordings, and artwork, and that doing so does not infringe anyone else's rights.
4. Fees and subscriptions
CanSo charges artists a flat subscription fee and takes zero commission on sales. Subscription fees are billed in advance through Stripe on a recurring basis until you cancel. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We will give notice before any change to subscription pricing.
5. Payments and payouts
Fan payments and artist payouts are processed by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Services Agreement. Artists must complete Stripe Connect onboarding to receive funds. You are responsible for any taxes on your earnings. CanSo is not a party to the sale between an artist and a fan beyond providing the platform.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Upload content you do not have the rights to distribute.
- Infringe intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
- Upload malware, attempt to breach security, or disrupt the service.
- Use the platform for fraud, money laundering, or other unlawful activity.
- Scrape, resell, or misrepresent the service or other users' content.
- Post hateful, harassing, or illegal material.
7. Copyright and DMCA
We respect intellectual property and respond to valid takedown notices. If you believe content on CanSo infringes your copyright, submit a notice through our DMCA takedown form. We may remove infringing content and terminate repeat infringers.
8. Termination
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these terms, create risk or legal exposure, or for prolonged inactivity. On termination, your right to use the service stops; sections that by their nature should survive (ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability) will continue to apply.
9. Disclaimers
The service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CanSo will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or revenue. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service will not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold CanSo harmless from claims arising out of your content, your use of the service, or your breach of these terms.
12. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which CanSo operates, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, unless applicable law grants you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with a new “last updated” date. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms.
