Terms of Service

By creating a JamMatch account or using the app you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please don't use JamMatch. You must be 18 or older to use the service.

You are responsible for what happens on your account and for keeping your password private. Give us accurate information, and use only accounts that belong to you. One account per person, please.

You can close your account at any time; we can suspend or close accounts that break these terms.

You keep ownership of the photos, text, videos and links you add. By adding them you give us permission to show them inside JamMatch to other members as your profile design intends.

• Only post content you have the right to share, and only link to performance videos you own or are allowed to feature.
• Performance videos must be hosted on YouTube or Vimeo; JamMatch does not host video files.
• Keep your profile honest: your instruments, levels, location and videos should describe you.

Musicians express interest privately. A connection, and the messaging and session planning that go with it, only opens when both people are interested. Interest you withdraw is removed; passes are remembered so the same profile isn't shown to you again.

JamMatch includes a small number of clearly labelled demo profiles in the Bay Area so new members can try the full flow. Demo profiles are fictional and are not real musicians.

JamMatch works because musicians behave decently towards each other. When you use the app, you agree not to:

• Harass, threaten, stalk or abuse another member;
• Post hateful, sexually explicit, violent or illegal content, or content that isn't yours to share;
• Use the app for spam, advertising, recruiting unrelated to music, or selling anything;
• Scrape, copy or harvest other members' information, or message people in bulk;
• Impersonate someone else, or create fake profiles other than our labelled demo profiles;
• Try to break, overload or reverse engineer the service.

You can report a profile, message, video or session, and block anyone you don't want to interact with. Blocking hides you from each other and closes off messaging.

We review reports and may hide content, remove a profile from discovery, or suspend an account. We aim to be fair, but we don't promise to remove every report or to tell you the outcome of someone else's report.

JamMatch helps you propose and confirm sessions, but it does not organise, supervise or insure them. Meeting other members, choosing a safe place to meet and taking care of your gear are your decisions and your responsibility. Always use your judgment before meeting someone new.

After playing together, members can leave an endorsement with a playing-style rating and an optional note. Endorsements should reflect your genuine experience. We may remove endorsements that are abusive, retaliatory or unrelated to playing.

We may remove or hide any content, and suspend any account, that we believe breaks these terms or puts other members at risk.

JamMatch is provided as is. Features may change, pause or be withdrawn, and we don't guarantee the service will always be available or that you'll find a match. If we make a meaningful change to these terms we'll update the date above and let you know in the app.

To the extent the law allows, JamMatch is not liable for indirect losses, or for what happens between members away from the app — including a jam, rehearsal, recording or gig you arrange through it. Nothing here limits rights that cannot be limited by law.
