Effective from: 18 July 2026
In short: these Terms govern the use of backingtrack.store — a subscription service for music practice, with backing tracks, synced chord charts, per-instrument track separation (stems) and band collaboration tools. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these conditions, to the Privacy Policy and to the Cookie Policy.
Language and governing version. This English text is provided for your convenience. The Portuguese version of these Terms is the governing one: if there is any conflict or ambiguity between the two, the Portuguese text prevails. The Service is operated from Brazil by L2techs and is governed by Brazilian law, as set out in Section 16.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a contract between you and L2techs, the operator of backingtrack.store ("backingtrack.store", "we", "the platform" or "the service"), available at backingtrack.store and in any related applications (together, the "Service").
Please read carefully.By clicking "I accept", creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, you should not create an account or use the Service.
These Terms are governed by Brazilian law, in particular the Código de Defesa do Consumidor (Brazil's consumer protection statute). No clause here is intended to remove any right that Brazilian law grants you as a consumer — where a clause of these Terms conflicts with a mandatory rule of that statute, the statute prevails.
backingtrack.store is a digital platform for hobby and working musicians, built for practice, rehearsal, study and performance — it is not a passive music consumption service (like a playlist player). The Service combines:
We may add, change, limit or discontinue any Service feature at any time, including features still in an experimental ("beta") stage, without this creating a right to compensation — subject to the consumer's right to cancel the subscription under Section 3.4.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and 18, use must be with the knowledge and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who also becomes responsible for the obligations under these Terms, including financial ones. By accepting these Terms you confirm that you have legal capacity to contract or that you have obtained such consent.
To use most Service features you need to create an account, providing true, complete and current information (name, email and, where applicable, payment details). Registration can be done directly or through social login (e.g. Google).
You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity carried out under your account. Tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorised use of your account, through the channel in Section 18.
Each account is personal and non-transferable. Band accounts work as a shared space between members invited by someone who already has an individual account — sharing the login and password of a single account among several people to get around plan limits is not permitted.
The Service is offered in a free plan and paid subscription plans. The features, usage limits and current prices of each plan are always described on the site's pricing page("Pricing Page"), which prevails over any figure quoted in this Section in the event of a discrepancy caused by a price change or a change of offer.
| Feature | Free | Pro | Pro Band |
|---|---|---|---|
| Backing track catalog | Open access | Open access | Open access |
| Own upload + stem separation | 3 separations/month, full export | 20 separations/month | 40 separations/month |
| Per-instrument stems in the player (mute/solo) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Export (download) of the separated stems | Yes, within the 3 separations/month | Yes | Yes |
| Pitch shift and A-B loop | No | Yes | Yes |
| Community comments | Read only | Read and write | Read and write |

| Band (create and invite members) | No | No | Yes, up to 6 members per band (leader + 5) |
| Download of the platform's own catalog backing tracks | No | No | No |
Current prices in your currency are shown on the Pricing Page. The monthly audio separation limits (3 / 20 / 40) are disclosed openly: you can check how many separations you have used this month and your plan's ceiling directly in your account. These numbers exist to curb abusive or automated use and may be adjusted with prior notice on the Pricing Page.
Paid plans are charged on a recurring basis (monthly or yearly, as you choose) through a third-party payment processor. By subscribing to a paid plan you authorise automatic charging of the plan amount and applicable taxes to the payment method on file, each cycle, until cancellation.
The subscription renews automatically at the end of each cycle, at the price then in force, unless cancelled before the renewal date. Price changes for ongoing subscriptions will be communicated to you at least 30 days in advance, and you may cancel before the new price takes effect.
The Pro plan may be trialled for 7 days at no cost by eligible new subscribers, with proportional use of the plan's monthly allowance, capped at 5 audio separations during the trial. At the end of the trial, if you do not cancel, billing for the contracted plan starts automatically. We may limit trial eligibility to one per person/account.
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account or through the contact channel in Section 18. Cancellation stops future renewal; access to paid features remains until the end of the period already paid for, without a pro-rata refund of the current period, except in the cases below.
Part of the backing tracks available in the catalog is produced directly by backingtrack.store (our own recording) and made available with the corresponding chord chart. For that content we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to listen and practise within the Service, for as long as your subscription or the applicable free access lasts.
This licence does not include the right to download, extract, redistribute, sublicense, make publicly available outside the platform or commercially exploit that content. Using the backing track as a bed for your band's rehearsal or live performance is permitted; responsibility for any public performance licences for the show itself rests with you or with the venue/event, as it already does for any band performing live, with or without the Service — see also Section 6.
The Service lets you upload ("Submit") an audio file that you own or for which you have sufficient authorisation, so that artificial intelligence tools ("AI Tools") can separate that audio into per-instrument tracks and, where applicable, support the detection of chords, key and tempo. We call the content you upload "User Content"; we call the result generated by the AI Tools from it the "Output" (stems, detected chord chart and associated metadata).
You should only upload User Content if you own the rights in it or have authorisation from whoever does — both in the sound recording (the specific recording) and, where applicable, in the musical composition (melody, harmony, lyrics) contained in it. By Submitting User Content, you represent and warrant that:
We do not review each upload in advance to verify ownership of rights — that verification is your responsibility, under the representation above. This does not prevent us from acting under the takedown policy in Section 7 if we receive a notice from a rights holder.
You retain ownership of the User Content you upload and, within the limits of applicable law, of the Output generated specifically for you. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence, limited to what is necessary to host, process and store your User Content and generate the corresponding Output, solely to provide the Service to you and, where applicable, to form part of the shared catalog described in Section 6.
Your content is not used to train AI models. We do not use User Content or the Output generated from it to train or fine-tune artificial intelligence or machine learning models, without your express and specific authorisation. This applies both to our own models and to third-party models we may use to provide the Service.
The Output may contain inaccuracies — treat it as a study reference, not a definitive transcription. You may not redistribute, sublicense or package the Output as a sample, sound effect, loop or content library for third parties, nor use it to train third-party artificial intelligence models, nor to compete with the Service.
The AI Tools used to separate audio and detect chords, key or tempo are evolving technology and may produce inaccurate, incomplete or unexpected results — for example, one instrument bleeding into another track, or an incorrectly detected chord. You use the Output at your own risk, and the community may suggest chord corrections, which go through validation before entering the shared catalog.
To keep processing costs viable and avoid the same song being separated over and over, the stems and chord chart generated from an upload on a paid plan (Pro or Pro Band) become part of a shared catalog, accessible to other paying subscribers of the Service — equivalent to the backing track catalog in Section 4. This is different from your personal recording (your "take", your own performance recorded inside the Service), which stays private by default and is only shared if you explicitly choose to share it (e.g. within a band).
This clause is a condition for using the upload and separation feature on paid plans. If you would rather your upload were not incorporated into the shared catalog, you should not use that feature — get in touch through the channel in Section 18 to check available alternatives.
Highlighted clause — please read carefully (art. 54, §4 of the Código de Defesa do Consumidor). By subscribing to a paid plan and uploading audio for separation, you agree that the resulting stems and chord chart may enter a shared catalog accessible to other paying subscribers — it is not storage exclusively your own. If the holder of the copyright in the composition or in the sound recording notifies backingtrack.store requesting the removal of that song (Section 7), it will be blocked for all users who rely on it, including you, without this alone creating a right to a refund of the subscription — without prejudice to the other consumer rights set out in these Terms and in the law.
We respect third-party copyright. Any rights holder (composer, publisher or owner of the sound recording) may notify backingtrack.store requesting the removal of a song from the shared catalog, stating: (i) the specific song; (ii) proof of ownership of the right (for example, registration with the Biblioteca Nacional or ECAD, a publishing contract or representation by a publisher); and (iii) the requester's contact details.
This policy is based on the internet platform liability regime of the Marco Civil da Internet (Brazil's internet framework act), as interpreted by the Supreme Federal Court (Tema 987, RE 1.037.396): broadly, we are liable for third-party content when, having been notified out of court by the rights holder, we fail to act. Unfounded or bad-faith notices may create liability for whoever sends them.
When using the Service, you agree not to:
We may remove content, suspend or terminate accounts that breach this Section, at our discretion and with notice where feasible, without prejudice to other appropriate measures.
The Service — including brand, logo, layout, software, catalog database, texts and other elements created by us (excluding User Content and the Output generated from it) — is owned by L2techs or its licensors and protected by intellectual property law. These Terms do not transfer to you any right in those elements beyond the limited licence described here.
If you send us suggestions, criticism or ideas about the Service ("Feedback"), you grant us the right to use that Feedback freely to improve the Service, with no obligation of compensation or attribution.
How we process your personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, drawn up in line with the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (Law 13.709/2018 — Brazil's data protection act), and the use of cookies and similar technologies is described in the Cookie Policy. Both are incorporated into these Terms by reference and should be read together with them.
The Service uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to separate audio and support the detection of chords, key and tempo. This technology is evolving and may produce inaccurate, incomplete or unexpected results, as described in Section 5.5. You acknowledge this limitation and accept the risks of using the generated Output.
We make reasonable efforts to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The Service is provided "as is" and may undergo maintenance, instability or temporary unavailability, without this alone amounting to breach of contract — subject to the consumer's right to redress in the event of repeated or serious failure in the provision of the paid service, under Brazilian consumer law.
We recommend keeping your own copy of any User Content you upload and of the Output generated, especially if it matters to you. We may delete User Content and Output associated with accounts that have been inactive for an extended period, with prior notice where feasible.
To the fullest extent permitted by Brazilian law, we are not liable for indirect or incidental damages or lost profits arising from the use of, or inability to use, the Service. Nothing in this Section excludes or limits liability in situations where Brazilian law, in particular the Código de Defesa do Consumidor, does not permit limitation — such as damage arising from a defect in the provision of the service that causes loss to the consumer, or from wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
We are not responsible for content uploaded by other users, nor for third-party claims relating to User Content submitted by you or by others — primary responsibility for ownership of uploaded content lies with whoever uploads it, under Section 5.2.
You agree to indemnify us for reasonable losses, damages and expenses (including legal fees) arising from a third-party claim relating to: (i) your breach of these Terms; (ii) User Content you upload without holding the necessary rights; or (iii) use of the Service contrary to Section 8 (Rules of use). This does not remove your rights as a consumer and does not apply to damage caused by our own failure in providing the Service.
We may change these Terms from time to time, including to reflect new features, legal changes or plan adjustments. Material changes will be communicated at least 15 days in advance, by notice on the site or by email. Continued use of the Service after the effective date represents agreement with the new Terms; if you do not agree, you may cancel your account before that date.
We may also modify, limit or discontinue Service features at any time, subject, where applicable, to the consumer's right to cancel the paid plan without penalty where a feature essential to what was contracted is discontinued.
These Terms apply from the creation of your account or first use of the Service until the account is closed, by you or by us.
Once the account is closed, your right of access to the Service ends and we may delete your User Content and associated data, subject to the retention periods required by the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados and by legal obligations (e.g. tax records). Sections that by their nature should survive termination — such as Intellectual Property, Indemnity, Limitation of Liability and Governing Law — continue to apply.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil.
If you have any question, complaint or problem with the Service, please talk to our support channel first (Section 18) — most issues can be resolved directly, faster than through formal routes.
The courts of Belo Horizonte - MG, Brazil, where L2techs is based, are chosen to settle any disputes arising from these Terms, without prejudice to the consumer's right to choose the courts of their own domicile under art. 101, I of the Código de Defesa do Consumidor. We do not require arbitration as a precondition to a consumer bringing court proceedings; where there is mutual interest in other dispute resolution methods (mediation, arbitration), they may be agreed later, voluntarily, once the dispute has arisen.
Questions about these Terms, copyright requests (Section 7), exercise of data subject rights or any other matter about the Service can be sent through our contact form or by email to contato@l2techs.com.
