Who we are
Rhune (“Rhune”, “we”, “us”) runs the invite-only artist platform at rhune.co (the “Service”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are the agreement between Rhune and every invited artist or authorised representative (“Artist”, “you”). By signing in you are agreeing to everything below. If something here worries you, please reach out before continuing.
Eligibility and accounts
The Service is invite-only and is designed for artists who are 18 or older. If you are acting for an artist, label, or rights-holder you must have permission to do so. Keep your magic-link emails and devices secure; you are responsible for anything that happens in your account. We can revoke an invite or suspend access if we spot misuse or risk to the Service.
Key definitions
Artist Content covers the notes, commentary, edited metadata, images, or other material you contribute. Spotify Metadata is the public catalogue data we import from Spotify (artwork, titles, dates, etc.). Fan Features are the community-facing tools we may add later, such as supporter accounts or public browsing experiences.
Your content and our licence
You keep ownership of your Artist Content. When you upload or save content you give Rhune a worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, adapt, and otherwise use that content as needed to operate, promote, and improve the Service (including Fan Features and any successor or substantially similar services we develop). This licence continues for existing uses after you close your account so that previously published materials, backups, and legal obligations can be fulfilled. We will respect any non-waivable moral rights you hold to the extent required by law.
You promise that you have the rights you need for everything you submit, that it does not break the law or the rights of others, and that you have cleared any necessary permissions with collaborators or labels. We can refuse, edit, or remove Artist Content if we believe it breaches these Terms or if we need to protect the Service.
How to behave on Rhune
You agree not to upload anything unlawful, defamatory, hateful, exploitative, or infringing; not to scrape or reverse engineer the Service; not to misrepresent yourself; and not to interfere with other users. Please protect your devices and email accounts—if someone gains access through your negligence, that is on you.
Spotify metadata
Spotify Metadata is governed by Spotify’s own terms. We refresh it regularly (and at least every 30 days) and whenever you open your dashboard. We display that material under Spotify’s developer/commercial terms and you agree not to use the Service to scrape, export, or repurpose Spotify data in a way that contravenes Spotify’s rules or our agreements with them.
Future features and monetisation
Rhune will keep evolving. We may add Fan Features, community spaces, advertising, subscription tiers, or new media uploads. We will always announce material changes, and by continuing to use the Service you agree to the updated Terms that accompany those changes.
Service changes and availability
We aim for calm, predictable uptime, but the Service is offered “as is” and “as available”. We may pause, change, or discontinue parts of the Service at any time. If downtime is planned we will let you know when we can.
Ending the relationship
You can delete your account at any time via Manage or by emailing hello@rhune.co. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms or if we have to comply with law. Some information (including backups, logs, or previously distributed content) may remain for a reasonable period for legal, security, or archival reasons. Sections covering licences, acceptable use, indemnities, disclaimers, and limits on liability stay in force after termination.
Our intellectual property
The Rhune codebase, design, trademarks, and branding belong to us or our licensors. These Terms do not grant you rights to our intellectual property other than what is needed to use the Service.
Indemnity
If a third party brings a claim against Rhune because of your Artist Content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms, you agree to defend and indemnify us and our affiliates from the resulting costs and liabilities (including reasonable legal fees).
Disclaimer and limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Service is provided without warranties of any kind—express or implied. We are not responsible for lost profits, data loss, service interruptions, or harm caused by third-party services or unauthorised access.
Our total liability for all claims arising from the Service or these Terms is capped at the greater of £100 or the fees (if any) you paid Rhune in the previous 12 months. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, although we may seek urgent injunctive relief in other jurisdictions if needed.
Updates to these Terms
We may update the Terms from time to time. We will email you, post a notice in the dashboard, or highlight changes on the site when updates are material. Using the Service after the new Terms take effect means you accept them.
