EarMatch Terms of Use
Last updated: November 13, 2026
In short: EarMatch is free. Listen, swipe and keep what you love. Be decent to the people you meet in Friends and party mode, don't misuse the app, and remember the music belongs to the artists and the services that stream it. By using EarMatch, you agree to these terms.
Using EarMatch
EarMatch plays short previews of songs so you can find new music, save the ones you like and make playlists, alone or with friends. You can use it for your own, personal enjoyment. You may not:
- Copy, record or redistribute the song previews, artwork or other music content shown in the app.
- Use bots, scripts or other automated tools to use the app or its servers, or to collect information from it.
- Try to break, overload, reverse engineer or get around the security of the app or its servers.
- Use EarMatch for anything illegal, or to harm, harass or deceive other people.
EarMatch is distributed through the App Store, so Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. If these terms and Apple's agreement disagree, these terms win where the law allows.
Your account
Most of EarMatch needs no account. To use Friends and party mode you sign in with Apple, Google, or an email and password, and you must be at least 13 years old. Keep your sign-in safe: you're responsible for what happens on your account. You can delete your account anytime under Friends › Account (gear icon) › Delete account.
Friends and party mode
Your username, display name and Memoji are visible to other people, and in party mode to people who may not be your friends. Everything you choose to show must follow the Community Rules. We can remove a name, end a party, or suspend or delete an account that breaks those rules or these terms, without notice when we need to keep people safe.
The music
Song previews, album artwork and artist details come from Apple's music services. They belong to the artists, labels and other rights holders, not to EarMatch, and are shown under Apple's terms. Songs you add to Apple Music are saved to your own Apple Music library, which needs your own Apple Music access. Which songs are available can change at any time and can differ by country.
Other apps and services
EarMatch can open songs in Apple Music, Spotify or YouTube Music, and can help you move a playlist through other services such as TuneMyMusic. Those services are run by other companies, under their own terms and privacy policies. We're not responsible for them, and we can't promise they'll always work with EarMatch.
EarMatch belongs to us
The EarMatch app, name, logo and design are ours. These terms give you the right to use the app; they don't give you any ownership of it. Apple Music, App Store and iPhone are trademarks of Apple Inc. Spotify, YouTube and other names belong to their owners.
No guarantees
We work hard to keep EarMatch running well, but it is provided "as is" and "as available". We can't promise it will always be available, free of errors, or that every song will be one you love. We may change, add or remove features, or stop offering the app.
Limits on our responsibility
To the extent the law allows, EarMatch is not responsible for indirect or unexpected losses that come from using the app, from not being able to use it, from other services it connects to, or from other users' behaviour. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the consumer laws of your country that can't be limited.
Privacy
How we handle your information is explained in the Privacy Policy. The short version: no ads, no tracking, and we never sell your personal data.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change, the new version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Using EarMatch after a change means you accept the new terms.
