The short version
By installing or using Melody Flow ("the app"), you agree to these terms. They exist to keep things clear for both of us. Read them once — they're short and in plain English.
1. Who "we" are
Melody Flow is developed and published by an independent developer based in India. In these terms, "we," "us," and "our" refer to the developer. "You" and "your" refer to the person using the app. Contact: daksheshbabu@gmail.com.
2. Your license to use the app
When you purchase Melody Flow on the Google Play Store, you receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the app on Android devices tied to your Google account. You may:
- Install and reinstall the app on devices you own.
- Use the app for personal, non-commercial music playback.
You may not:
- Resell, redistribute, sublicense, or commercially rent the app.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the app's source code, except to the limited extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction.
- Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices within the app.
- Use the app to infringe the copyrights of music owners (see section 4).
3. Payment, refunds, and updates
Melody Flow is a one-time purchase of ₹59 on the Google Play Store. There are no subscriptions, recurring charges, or in-app purchases.
Refunds are handled entirely by Google Play under their standard refund policy. You may request a refund within 2 hours of purchase directly through your Google Play account, no questions asked. After 2 hours, refunds are at Google's discretion. We do not process refunds directly because we never see your payment information.
Updates are delivered free of charge through the Google Play Store. We may add features, fix bugs, or adjust behavior over time. We don't remove features you already paid for. If we ever make a significant change, we'll mention it in the release notes.
4. Your music, your responsibility
Melody Flow is a player — it plays audio files that already exist on your device. You are responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to play the music files in your library. We don't provide, host, stream, or distribute any copyrighted music. Songs you play through the app come from files you own, purchased downloads, or content you have otherwise lawfully obtained.
If you use the app to play pirated music, that's between you and the copyright holders — not us.
5. Acceptable use
Use the app for what it's for: playing music. Don't try to:
- Exploit the app or your Android device in ways that harm others.
- Use the app to distribute malware or interfere with other services.
- Circumvent our limits, bypass payment, or use cracked copies.
Violating these rules ends your license immediately. No refund.
6. Third-party content and services
Some optional features call third-party services — for example, the automatic lyrics feature fetches lyrics from a public lyrics API. When that happens:
- The third party's terms and privacy policy apply to that interaction.
- We have no control over their content, availability, or accuracy.
- Lyrics are provided "as-is" by their source and may be wrong, incomplete, or unavailable.
See the privacy policy for exactly what data is sent where.
7. No warranty
Melody Flow is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't promise the app will be bug-free, uninterrupted, perfectly compatible with every Android device, or suitable for every specific purpose. We've built it with care and we stand behind it — but we're one person, not an infallible corporation.
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the app — including lost data, lost profits, device issues, or any other losses.
Our total liability for any direct claim relating to the app is capped at the amount you paid for it (₹59). That is the nature of a ₹59 piece of software: the stakes are low for both of us.
Some jurisdictions don't allow certain liability limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability for fraud or for things that can't be limited by law.
9. Termination
You can stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. Your license ends automatically if you materially breach these terms. If Google removes the app from the Play Store for any reason, your existing installation continues to work, but we may not be able to deliver updates.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms occasionally — for example, if the law changes, or if we add a new feature that needs explaining. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects when this happened. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the new terms. Meaningful changes will also be mentioned in the app's release notes.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute relating to the app will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Tamil Nadu, India — unless mandatory consumer-protection laws in your country give you a right to bring a claim locally.
12. Severability
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. The unenforceable part will be interpreted as narrowly as possible to achieve its intent.
