Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the LIA service operated by Jacopo Di Loreto, sole proprietor (Italian SRL in costituzione, P.IVA in attivazione) (“we”, “us”, “our”), accessible at liaplugin.com, including the LIA web application, LIA Bridge, and all related services (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
1. Description of the Service
LIA is an AI music assistant that connects to your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) through a local bridge application (“LIA Bridge”) installed on your computer. You interact with LIA through a browser-based chat interface or via Telegram, sending natural language commands. LIA processes your requests and sends control commands to your DAW session in real time.
LIA currently supports Ableton Live, with additional DAW support in development.
2. System Requirements
To use LIA, you need:
- macOS (Intel or Apple Silicon) or Windows 10/11
- A supported DAW (currently Ableton Live 12+, any edition)
- A modern web browser
- A stable internet connection
It is your responsibility to verify that you meet these requirements before subscribing.
3. Account Registration
To use LIA, you must create an account with a valid email address. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.
4. Plans and Pricing
4.1 Free Plan
New users can use LIA for free with limited daily usage. The Free plan provides access to Standard AI and basic features. No credit card is required.
4.2 Paid Plans
LIA offers multiple paid subscription plans (Starter, Pro, Studio) billed monthly or annually through Polar.sh, our payment processor. Each plan includes a daily usage allowance. When your daily allowance is reached, you can wait for the cooldown period to reset or top up your wallet to continue immediately.
4.3 Founder Plan
The Founder plan is available to the first 100 users only. It consists of a one-time payment of EUR 699 plus a monthly subscription of EUR 39.99. The one-time payment grants permanent Founder status (including Beta Tester access, dedicated support, and exclusive community access). The monthly subscription provides Studio-level daily usage. If you cancel the monthly subscription, you retain your Founder status but your daily usage reverts to the Free plan level. You may resubscribe at any time to restore Studio-level usage.
4.4 Wallet Top-Up
You may add funds to your wallet at any time (minimum EUR 10). Wallet funds are used when you exceed your daily plan allowance and choose to continue. Wallet balance does not expire. Wallet funds are non-refundable.
4.5 Usage Limits
Each plan has a daily usage allowance and a cooldown period. These limits are designed to ensure fair access for all users. Usage allowances reset after the cooldown period, not at midnight. Unused daily allowance does not carry over.
5. Pricing Changes
We may modify pricing for subscription plans with at least 30 days notice sent to your registered email address. Price changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle after the notice period. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel your subscription before the new price takes effect.
6. Cancellation and Refunds
6.1 Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your Polar.sh subscription management page. Upon cancellation, your plan access remains active until the end of your current paid billing period. After that, your account reverts to the Free plan. Your account data is retained for 90 days in case you resubscribe.
6.2 Refund Policy
We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee on your initial subscription purchase. If you are not satisfied within 7 days, contact [email protected] for a full refund. Refunds are not available after the 7-day period, for subscription renewals, or for wallet top-ups. The Founder one-time payment is non-refundable after 7 days.
7. Intellectual Property: Your Music
You own everything you create with LIA. Your DAW projects, audio files, MIDI compositions, and all musical output remain 100% yours. LIA does not claim any ownership, license, or rights over your creative work. Your projects never leave your computer. LIA Bridge only sends control commands, never audio or project files.
8. Intellectual Property: Our Service
The LIA service, including the web application, LIA Bridge software, AI integrations, branding, and all related intellectual property, is owned by Jacopo Di Loreto (sole proprietor, Italian SRL in costituzione). You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the Service without our written permission.
9. Data Collection and AI
LIA collects anonymized interaction data by default to improve the service and develop better AI models for music production. This data is stripped of all personal identifiers and cannot be used to identify you. You may opt out of data collection at any time in your Settings without affecting your use of the Service. See our Privacy Policy for full details on what data is collected and how it is used.
Third-party AI providers process your chat messages via API access. Per their API terms, your data is not used for model training by these providers.
10. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Share your account credentials with others or allow multiple users on a single account
- Attempt to bypass usage limits, authentication, or rate limits
- Use the Service for any illegal purpose
- Resell, sublicense, or provide access to the Service to third parties
- Use automated tools to send messages to LIA at scale beyond normal usage
11. Limitation of Liability
LIA is a creative tool, not a replacement for professional judgment. We provide the Service “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
- LIA is not responsible for data loss in your DAW. LIA sends commands that modify your session in real time. Always save your project before using LIA.
- We do not guarantee that AI-generated outputs will be musically accurate, professional-grade, or free of errors.
- Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim.
12. Service Availability
We strive for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The Service depends on third-party AI providers and their availability. We may perform maintenance that temporarily affects availability.
13. Service Discontinuation
If we discontinue the Service, we will provide at least 60 days notice to all active subscribers. Subscribers will receive a prorated refund for unused time. Because your projects are local, discontinuation does not affect your DAW projects or music.
14. Modifications to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
15. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Italy and the European Union. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Italy, without prejudice to your rights under GDPR or applicable consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction.
