Affirmuse User Guidelines

Version 1.2 – Effective Date: June 24, 2025

Welcome to Affirmuse! These User Guidelines apply when you use Affirmuse’s website, applications, and services (collectively, “Services”) and any music, content, or other materials made available through them (“Content”). They are designed to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. By using the Services you agree to follow these Guidelines.

Affirmuse is a streaming‑only audio service. Tracks may be played online but may not be downloaded, ripped, recorded, or otherwise copied for offline use unless we have given you specific written permission.

We may update these Guidelines from time to time, so please review the latest version on our website. Violations may lead to removal of Content and/or suspension or termination of your account. If your account has been previously terminated, you may not create a new one or attempt to bypass enforcement measures.

Please note: These User Guidelines are part of the broader Affirmuse Terms of Use, which remain the primary agreement governing your use of the Service, and do not replace them. You can view the full Terms of Use here.
