Terms of Use

Effective 7 September 2026. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and eccoses, operated in connection with Bonus Meditation / Basicform and the GearSound / Eccoses project (“we,” “us,” or “our”), governing access to https://eccoses.com and the related application (the “Service”).

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, or clicking any control that signifies acceptance, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility and children

You must have legal capacity to enter these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it. The Service is not directed to children under 13. A child under 13 may use the Service only with verifiable parental consent, or in a school or educational setting that has obtained any required parental consent. Parents and educators are responsible for supervising minors and for ensuring that any account or personal information provided for a minor is lawful. See the Privacy Policy for COPPA-aware practices.

3. The Service; beta and prices

The Service is a creative engine for original music and physics play, including desktop editing and optional WebXR walk-in. Features may change, break, or be withdrawn, especially during beta. Registration may be offered as a free beta (including a promotional period such as twelve months free for a limited number of spots). Any listed prices (for example, $3.99 per month, $30 per year, or a stated number of VR minutes) are informational only unless and until we present a separate, contemporaneous purchase flow. These Terms do not create a paid subscription. We do not process payments in this static build.

4. License to use the Service

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service for your personal, educational, or internal creative purposes. You may not copy, reverse engineer (except to the limited extent such restriction is prohibited by law), scrape, or resell the Service, or use it to build a competing product.

5. User Content — marketing use

You may create or submit music arrangements, scenes, images, text, and other materials through the Service (“User Content”). You represent that you have all rights needed to submit that User Content and that it does not infringe any third-party right.

Marketing use. We may share, display, or use User Content (including music arrangements and other creations made in the Service) for marketing, demonstration, education, and promotional purposes, in any media now known or later developed, worldwide, without additional compensation to you, unless prohibited by mandatory law. We will not present User Content as a paid endorsement by you unless we have a separate agreement to that effect.

6. Intellectual property of new work on the platform

As between you and us, we retain ownership of rights in new works created on or through the Service, including arrangements generated or authored in-app, scene files, and other outputs of the engine, together with the Service software, branding, and documentation. This allocation is a condition of use.

Assignment on written request. Upon your written request to the notice address below, we will review assignment of rights in a specified work back to you and may execute an assignment. We may condition that assignment on a reasonable administrative fee and on confirmation that the work does not incorporate unauthorized third-party material. We are not obligated to assign rights where we reasonably believe the request is incomplete, abusive, or would conflict with law or third-party rights. Until an assignment is executed in writing, ownership remains with us as stated in this section. You retain no implied license beyond the limited license in Section 4, except any license we expressly grant in writing.

Nothing in these Terms transfers our trademarks, the eccoses or GearSound names, or the underlying engine.

7. No third-party recreation; copyright

Binding obligation. You shall not upload, recreate, transcribe, sample, or attempt to reproduce copyrighted third-party works — including songs, scores, recordings, samples, lyrics, characters, or trademarks — without authorization from the rights holder, except to the extent such use is licensed to you or is in the public domain. The Service is for original creation and for licensed or public-domain material only.

You shall not use the Service to produce “sound-alike” recreations of protected musical works, to clone another artist’s recording, or to circumvent technical measures. Challenge modes, tutorials, and presets we ship are licensed by us for use in the Service; they do not authorize you to reproduce third-party hits.

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts for infringement or suspected infringement, with or without notice, including where we receive a complaint or where the material appears to recreate a protected work.

Copyright notices (DMCA-style)

If you are a copyright owner or authorized agent and believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to [email protected] that includes: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner. We will respond to proper notices and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the material and notify the user. Repeat infringers may have accounts terminated. If you believe your material was removed by mistake, you may send a counter-notice with the corresponding statutory elements to the same address. These procedures are intended to follow the notice-and-takedown approach associated with 17 U.S.C. § 512; they do not by themselves determine whether we qualify as a service provider under that statute.

8. Acceptable use

You will not interfere with the Service, probe it except with our written permission, upload malware, harass others, misrepresent your identity, or use the Service for any unlawful purpose. Headset use is at your own risk; follow your device maker’s safety guidance and do not use XR where it would be dangerous.

9. Accounts

You are responsible for credentials issued to you and for activity under your account. We may refuse, suspend, or terminate accounts at our discretion, including for violation of these Terms or for suspected infringement.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, accurate, or error-free. Educational and “brain health” language on marketing pages is motivational and descriptive of playful learning (attention, pattern recognition, short practice beats). It is not medical advice and is not a claim that the Service diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents any disease or condition.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR OPERATORS, CONTRIBUTORS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF TEN U.S. DOLLARS (US $10) OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (WHICH, DURING A FREE BETA, MAY BE ZERO).

12. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify us against claims arising from your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of a third party’s rights, except to the extent caused by our willful misconduct.

13. Changes; termination

We may modify these Terms. The Effective date will change when we do. If you continue to use the Service after an update, you accept the revised Terms where permitted by law. We may suspend or discontinue the Service at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5–7 and 10–12) will survive termination.

14. General

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service, unless we sign a separate written agreement with you. If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a transfer of the project. Headings are for convenience only.

15. Notices

Legal, copyright, assignment-of-rights, and other formal notices: [email protected] (placeholder — replace with the address you monitor). Website: https://eccoses.com.

These Terms are a boilerplate contract for the Service. They are not legal advice, are not certified as attorney-reviewed, and may be updated. You should obtain counsel in your jurisdiction if you need advice about your rights. Related pages: Privacy Policy, About.
