Terms of Service

Last updated: July 6, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Label Mate mobile application ("the app") developed by Joey Liechty ("we", "us"). By using the app, you agree to these Terms.

1. Description of Service

Label Mate is a music identification app that scans vinyl record labels, album covers, and barcodes, plays matching music, and prints physical labels for your records. The app uses on-device optical character recognition and image matching, cloud metadata services, Apple Music and YouTube for playback, and an optional connection to your Discogs account for collection browsing, pricing, and marketplace listings.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the app. By using the app, you represent that you meet this requirement.

3. Subscriptions and Payments

Free Tier

The app offers limited free functionality, including a daily scan budget and a daily label-print budget. A Pro subscription removes these limits. Budgets and feature gating may change between app versions.

Pro Subscription

Pro subscriptions are available on a monthly or annual basis. Subscriptions are processed and managed by Apple through the App Store. By subscribing, you also agree to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement.

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period
• You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings

Price Changes

We may change subscription pricing at any time. Price changes take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. Your continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app
• Use the app to violate any applicable law or regulation
• Attempt to circumvent subscription, scan, or print limits through technical manipulation
• Use automated systems to access the app's cloud services in a manner that exceeds reasonable personal use
• Redistribute, resell, or sublicense access to the app or its data

5. Intellectual Property

Our Content

The app, its code, design, and the catalog database are our property or licensed to us. The app is licensed to you, not sold.

Third-Party Content

Music metadata, pricing data, and album information are sourced from third parties including Discogs and are subject to their respective terms. Music playback is provided through Apple Music and is subject to Apple's terms.

Your Content

If you enable "Help improve the database," you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use your anonymous contributions (barcode mappings, video and streaming matches, BPM/key data, and photos of record covers submitted in missed-match reports) to improve the service for all users.

6. Third-Party Services

The app integrates with third-party services. Your use of these services is subject to their terms:

• Apple Music: Apple Media Services Terms
• Discogs (metadata, pricing, and, if you connect your account, collection access and marketplace listings under your account): Discogs Terms of Service
• YouTube (video playback): Label Mate uses YouTube API Services. By using the app's video playback features, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's data practices are described in the Google Privacy Policy.
• Google Cloud (Vision text-reading and Gemini cover-identification fallbacks): Google Cloud Terms

Actions taken through your connected Discogs account (such as listing a record for sale or editing your collection) are performed at your direction and are your responsibility under the Discogs Terms.

We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of third-party services.

Affiliate Links

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Printer and supply recommendations in the app link to Amazon using our affiliate tag. Products are sold by Amazon and its sellers, not by us; we make no warranty regarding recommended hardware, and purchases are subject to Amazon's terms.

7. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

• Music identification is based on optical character recognition and database matching. Results may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unavailable for some records.
• Pricing data from Discogs is provided for informational purposes only and may not reflect current market conditions.
• Key and BPM detection are estimates and should not be relied upon as exact values.
• Playback via Apple Music requires an active Apple Music subscription managed separately through Apple; YouTube playback depends on video availability.
• Label printing depends on your printer and label stock; we do not guarantee compatibility with any particular printer, print quality, or dimensional accuracy of printed output.
• We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the app or its cloud services.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR PURCHASING DECISIONS MADE BASED ON PRICING DATA DISPLAYED IN THE APP.

Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the app shall not exceed the amount you paid for the app in the 12 months preceding the claim.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

10. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the app's cloud services if you violate these Terms. You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it from your device.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of the state in which we are located.
