Acceptable Use Policy

Music-Forte is built for music teachers, students, choirs, and composers. This policy describes the few things that aren't allowed. Everything else is fair game.

Prohibited uses

Illegal activity

Don't use the platform to plan, conduct, or facilitate activity that's illegal where you or your audience are located.

Sexual content involving minors

Absolutely prohibited, no exceptions. Music-Forte is used in schools; we have zero tolerance.

Targeted harassment

Don't use chat threads, comments, or shared drafts to target individuals with harassment, threats, doxxing, or hate speech (defined as content attacking people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or serious illness).

Don't use the music-generation tools to deliberately reproduce copyrighted material as your own. Don't upload third-party scores you don't have rights to and pass them off as yours. Pedagogical analysis of copyrighted works under fair-use principles is allowed and encouraged.

Spam and abuse of automated tools

Don't use the chat or composition endpoints to drive automated bulk content (e.g. mass-generating thousands of identical lesson plans, scraping our outputs to retrain competing models). Reasonable scripted use within our rate limits is fine.

Security probing without permission

Don't attempt to circumvent authentication, exfiltrate other users' data, or test exploits against us without coordination. Responsible disclosure is welcomed at support@music-forte.app.

Reselling without permission

You can't white-label or resell access to Music-Forte without a written agreement.

Voice or face cloning to impersonate

Don't upload a person's voice or likeness for the purposes of impersonating them in generated content. Pedagogical recordings of consenting adults (e.g. a teacher demonstrating a phrase) are fine.

Using AI output responsibly

Review before publishing. Generated lesson plans, harmonisations, and analyses can contain errors. Treat the AI as a fast-drafting assistant, not an oracle.
Cite where appropriate. If you publish AI-generated content, disclose that AI was involved. Schools and exam bodies generally expect this.
Don't pass coaching as assessment. Practice mode's coaching narrative is a study aid. UNEB Practical Music is assessed by trained human examiners.

Rate limits

We enforce per-user rate limits on AI endpoints to keep the service responsive for everyone. Specific limits aren't published (they change as we tune capacity). If you hit a limit, we'll surface a friendly "slow down" message rather than failing silently. Trying to circumvent rate limits through multiple accounts is an AUP violation.

Enforcement

When we observe (or are credibly informed of) an AUP violation, we may, depending on severity:

Send a notice and ask you to stop.
Restrict specific features (e.g. composition endpoints, voice tools) on your account.
Suspend the account pending response.
Terminate the account and delete its data (subject to legal retention requirements).
Report to law enforcement when conduct rises to that level — in particular for content involving minors.

We try to give notice and a chance to respond. We may skip notice when delay would cause harm (e.g. a clearly malicious account, a compromised credential, unlawful content already in the wild).

Appeals

If your account is restricted or suspended and you believe it's in error, email support@music-forte.app with "Appeal" in the subject and a description. We aim to respond within 5 business days.

Reporting violations

If you encounter content or behaviour on the platform that violates this policy, email us with the details. For content involving minors, also report directly to your local authority; we cooperate with such reports.
