Self-hosting terms

1. The code, as it is

Stackapella's code is under the Attribution Assurance License. These terms don't change that licence: they cover only what sits around it, such as support, releases and the services we run. You run the code as it is, with all its faults, and at your own risk.

2. Your data is yours

We can't see, change or remove anything on your install. Your users' recordings, accounts and songs live on your servers, and looking after them is up to you.

3. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms, and we'll say so on this page before a change takes effect. The licence for a version of the code you already have stays as it is.

4. Who can run an install

You must be 18 or older to run an install, and you must follow the law where you and your users are.

5. Your responsibilities

• Keep your credentials, keys and servers secure.
• Make backups, and check that you can restore them.
• Follow privacy law. Voices are personal data.
• Follow the age rules that apply to your users. Stackapella's own rules let people 13 and older sign up, and keep some features for adults.
• Deal with copyright in what your users upload.
• Publish your own terms and privacy policy for your users. Ours don't cover your install.

6. Support

You support your own users. We answer issues on GitHub when we can, and we don't promise a response time.

7. What your install sends us

Nothing, by default. A fresh install sends no crash reports, update checks, listings or usage data to us. Your users' browsers load Vue and a few libraries from a public CDN and the font from Google Fonts; those requests go to those services, not to us. If you choose to connect a service of ours, only the data that connection needs is sent, and these terms and our Privacy policy apply to it.

8. The songs, the course and the name

The songs, the course, the singing guides and the singers' recorded voices are under the content licence in the repository, not the code's licence. The Stackapella name and logo are covered by the trademark policy there. Please don't use them to present your install as Stackapella.

9. Credit, and our marketing

Keep the credit. The licence asks that the attribution (Hillel Coren and https://stackapella.com) shows each time the program runs. In a web install that's the "Powered by Stackapella" credit in the app's About and in the footer of its public pages. Keep it there, visible and linked, and don't hide it from visitors or search engines.

Link to us from your website. If you run Stackapella for other people, put one link to https://stackapella.com/ on your own public website, for example in the footer or on your About or credits page, where visitors and search engines can see it. You may mark it `rel="nofollow"` if you wish; we'd be grateful if you leave it as a normal link.

Call your service your own. Say it's "Powered by Stackapella" or "runs on Stackapella", but don't use the Stackapella name as your brand, and don't use our website's words, screenshots, logo, videos or singers' voices in your marketing. That way nobody mistakes your service for ours, or ours for yours.

The credit, ready to paste: `<a href="https://stackapella.com/">Powered by Stackapella</a>`

10. Sanctions and restricted use

You may not run an install where, or for people with whom, the law of the United States or your own country forbids it, or to break the law.

11. Liability and indemnity

As the licence says, the code comes without any warranty, and we aren't liable for any damage that comes from running it, as far as the law allows. You agree to cover any claims made against us because of how you run your install.
