Terms
Last updated October 26, 2026
The short version: your music stays yours. You only upload what you have the right to, you keep your own masters, and you share it the way you choose. We keep it private, play it for you and the people you share with, and don’t use it for anything else.
Who you’re dealing with
VaultMe is run by Arian Vahdat, doing business as Vahdat Web, in California. “We” and “us” on this page means him. You can reach us at support@vaultme.me. By making an account or using a share link, you agree to these terms and to our privacy page.
Your account
- You need to be at least 13 to use VaultMe. If you’re under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian needs to agree to these terms too.
- Keep your password to yourself. You’re responsible for what happens in your account; tell us straight away if you think someone else got in.
- Sign-up is by invitation for now. An invite is for the person it was made for.
Your music stays yours
You keep every right you have in what you upload: songs, versions, covers, notes and names. We don’t own any of it.
To run VaultMe you give us permission to store it, make the compressed copy that plays, show its waveform, and play it for you and for anyone you share it with, only for as long as it’s in your account and only to provide the service. That permission ends when you delete it, apart from copies in backups for up to 7 days (see the privacy page). We never sell your music, publish it, or use it to train anything.
Keep your masters
VaultMe keeps a compressed copy of each song (256k AAC, or your MP3 or AAC as it is), not the file you upload, which is deleted once the copy is made. VaultMe is a place to keep, play and share your music, not a backup of your originals: keep your own copies of anything you can’t lose.
What you can upload and share
- Only music you have the right to store and share: your own work, or work you have permission for.
- Nothing illegal, and nothing meant to harm the service or its users (no malware, no trying to get into other accounts, no overloading it on purpose).
- A share link is for the person you send it to. You decide who gets one and can switch it off at any time; you’re responsible for what you share with it.
If someone reports that something you shared infringes their copyright, we follow the process on our copyright page, which can mean switching off share links and, for repeated reports, closing the account.
Storage and limits
Each account has 3.5 GB of storage for now, counted from the copies we keep, and each upload can be up to 200 MB. We may change these limits; if a change would affect music you already have, we’ll tell you first. VaultMe is free while it’s being built. If we add paid plans, nothing will be charged without you choosing a plan.
The service as it is
We work hard to keep VaultMe running and your music safe, but we can’t promise it will always be available, error-free, or that nothing will ever be lost. To the extent the law allows, VaultMe is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, and we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, or lost data. Where we are liable, it’s limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before (on the free version, that’s nothing). Some places don’t allow these limits, in which case they apply only as far as the law permits.
Ending things
- You can delete your account at any time in Account → Delete account; everything in it goes straight away.
- We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, for example for repeated copyright reports or abuse. Where we can, we’ll tell you first and give you the chance to download your songs.
- We may stop offering VaultMe. If we do, we’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice to download your music.
Changes
If we change these terms, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. For a change that matters, we’ll tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect. Using VaultMe after that means you accept the new terms.
The law that applies
These terms are governed by the laws of California, USA. If there’s a dispute, please email us first: most things can be sorted out that way. Otherwise, it’s for the courts of California, unless the law where you live gives you the right to go to your own courts.
