Terms of Service

Effective October 7, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and No Gimmicks Media LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Leafdrop”, “we”, “us”), about your use of Leafdrop at app.leafdrop.studio and related services (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these terms. If you use the Service for a business, you agree on its behalf.

1. What Leafdrop is

Leafdrop lets audio professionals (“Studios”) upload mixes and masters, share them with their clients through private links, collect timestamped feedback, and get paid. People who open a share link (“Clients”) don’t need an account; the Studio that sent the link decides what they can do (listen, comment, download).

2. Accounts

You need to be at least 16 years old to create an account. Give accurate information, keep your password safe, and tell us right away at hello@leafdrop.studio if you think someone else has access to your account. You’re responsible for what happens under your account and for the share links you create.

3. Plans, trials and billing

• New Studios start on the free plan, which has smaller limits shown in the app. On the free plan, Clients pay by card through Stripe only, and we keep a fee of 3% of each of those payments (see section 5).
• Paid plans are billed in advance, monthly or yearly, through our payment processor Stripe. Current prices are shown in the app before you subscribe.
• A paid plan may start with a free trial, which doesn’t need a card. If you add a card during the trial, your plan starts when the trial ends and your card is charged unless you cancel first; if you don’t, your Studio moves to the free plan when the trial ends.
• You can cancel anytime in Settings → Billing. Cancelling stops future charges; your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments aren’t refunded.
• Promo codes and free access we grant are at our discretion, may have limits or an end date, and have no cash value.
• We may change prices with at least 30 days’ notice. Changes apply from your next billing period.
• If your paid plan ends, your Studio moves to the free plan. Your projects and share links stay available; if they’re bigger than the free plan allows, new uploads stop and teammates past its seats can only view, until you free up space or subscribe again.

4. Storage limits

Each plan includes a storage allowance shown in the app. When it’s full, new uploads stop until you free up space or change plans; existing files stay available to you and your Clients.

5. Payments between Studios and Clients

When a Studio connects its own Stripe account, Clients pay the Studio directly through Stripe. Leafdrop is not a party to that transaction and doesn’t receive the money. On a paid plan, Leafdrop takes no fee from it. On the free plan, Leafdrop collects an application fee of 3% of each card payment through Stripe; the Client pays the price the Studio set, and the Studio receives the rest, less Stripe’s own fees. If a payment is refunded, our fee isn’t returned unless we decide otherwise. The Studio is the seller: it’s responsible for its prices, the work it delivers, refunds, disputes, invoices and taxes, and for its relationship with Stripe under Stripe’s own terms. The same applies to PayPal or other payment links a Studio adds.

6. Your content

You keep all rights to the audio, artwork, comments and other material you upload or write (“Content”). You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process (for example to draw waveforms or measure loudness), transmit and display your Content, only as needed to run the Service for you and the people you share it with. This license ends when you delete the Content, except for copies in backups, which are deleted on their normal schedule.

You’re responsible for your Content and confirm that you have the rights to upload and share it. When you share a link, the people you share it with can access what that link allows, including downloads if you enable them.

7. Acceptable use

Don’t use Leafdrop to:

• upload or share material you don’t have the rights to, or that is illegal, hateful, harassing or sexually exploits anyone;
• distribute malware, send spam, or phish;
• try to access other Studios’ data or accounts, probe or disrupt the Service, or get around limits and security measures;
• scrape the Service, or resell it without our written permission;
• use it as general file hosting unrelated to working with your Clients.

8. Copyright complaints

If you believe material on Leafdrop infringes your copyright, email hello@leafdrop.studio with: the work, where it appears (the link), your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn’t authorized, a statement that your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you’re the owner or authorized to act for them, and your signature. We’ll remove or disable access to infringing material and may close the accounts of repeat infringers.

9. Suspension and termination

You can stop using Leafdrop and ask us to delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, puts other users or the Service at risk, or is required by law to be closed; when reasonable, we’ll tell you first and give you a chance to download your files. After an account is closed we may delete its Content.

10. Changes to the Service and these terms

We keep improving Leafdrop and may add, change or remove features. If we change these terms in a way that matters, we’ll let you know by email or in the app before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the new terms.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we don’t give warranties of any kind, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we don’t promise the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. Keep your own copies of important files: Leafdrop is not a backup service.

12. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Leafdrop won’t be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim about the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and US $50.

13. Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against us because of your Content, your use of the Service, your dealings with your Clients, or your breach of these terms, you’ll cover our reasonable costs and losses from that claim.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and we agree to their jurisdiction. Nothing here limits rights you have under the consumer laws of the country where you live.

15. Affiliate program

If we accept you into the affiliate program (“Affiliate”), these terms also apply:

• We give you a referral link. A Studio is referred by you when it’s created on a browser that opened your link in the 60 days before, and no other Affiliate’s link was opened first. Studios referred by you get a 30-day free trial.
• You earn 50% of each subscription payment a Studio referred by you makes to Leafdrop in the 12 months after its first payment, excluding taxes, unless we agreed different terms with you in writing. Free trials, free access and promo codes earn nothing.
• A commission becomes payable 30 days after the payment it comes from. If that payment is refunded or disputed, the matching part of the commission is cancelled; if it was already paid out, we deduct it from your next payouts.
• We pay payable commissions about once a month, by PayPal or Wise, to the details you give us. You’re responsible for any taxes on what you earn and for any information we need to pay you lawfully.
• You can’t earn on your own Studio or Studios you control, use spam or misleading claims, pretend to be Leafdrop, or bid on “Leafdrop” in search ads. Tell people you may earn a commission when you share your link, as advertising rules require.
• We may change the program’s terms for future payments, or pause or end your participation at any time. If we end it for breaking these terms, unpaid commissions are forfeited; otherwise we pay what you earned up to then. You’re an independent contractor, not our employee or agent.

16. Other terms

These terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service. If a part of them can’t be enforced, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a right isn’t a waiver of it. You may not transfer these terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
