Content & Community Guidelines
1. Purpose
These Guidelines keep MeloAI a creative and safe place. They apply to everything you generate, upload, publish, or share on the Service — tracks, lyrics, titles, artwork, profiles, comments, and event entries — and form part of our Terms of Service. Breaking them can lead to content removal or account action.
2. Respect intellectual property
- Do not submit lyrics, melodies, or recordings you do not have the right to use.
- Do not try to recreate a specific copyrighted song or an artist's catalogue.
- Do not upload reference audio you do not own or have permission to use.
3. No impersonation or unauthorised voice cloning
Do not attempt to imitate a real, identifiable person's voice, name, or likeness in a misleading way or without their permission. Do not present AI-generated music as if it were officially created or endorsed by a real artist when it is not, on MeloAI or when you share it elsewhere. Do not impersonate MeloAI staff, moderators, or partners. Do not remove or falsify AI-content labels where a platform or the law requires them.
4. Prohibited content
Do not create, upload, or share content that:
- is illegal, or promotes or facilitates illegal activity, in the markets where the Service operates;
- sexualises minors in any way, or exploits or endangers children;
- is pornographic or graphically sexually explicit (adult themes in lyrics are allowed within these rules and applicable law);
- incites hatred, harassment, or violence against people based on protected characteristics, including ethnicity or religion;
- contains credible threats, promotes terrorism, or glorifies self-harm;
- is deceptive, fraudulent, or designed to scam others;
- deliberately spreads harmful misinformation, including about elections or civic processes; or
- infringes the privacy of others or exposes their personal information.
The Service operates across several countries. Content lawful in one market can be unlawful in another; where the law of a market we serve requires it, we may remove content or restrict its visibility in that market.
5. Authenticity and platform integrity
- Do not spam, artificially inflate plays, likes, votes, or followers, or manipulate rankings, charts, or event results.
- Do not use bots or scrapers, or attempt to bypass credit limits, payment, or security controls.
- Do not fraudulently interact with advertising (for example, automated or incentivised ad clicks).
- Do not resell or redistribute access to the Service without our permission.
- Do not operate multiple accounts to evade enforcement, rig votes, or farm rewards.
6. Publishing to the public feed
Publishing makes your track part of what every listener sees. When you publish:
- use honest titles, genres, and descriptions — no bait metadata or keyword stuffing;
- do not flood the feed with near-duplicate generations; keep drafts private;
- make sure artwork and lyrics you attach follow these Guidelines.
We may curate what surfaces in discovery (trending, mixes, reels, stations), reduce the reach of low-quality or borderline content, and unpublish content that breaks these rules.
7. Enforcement and appeals
We may review reported content and take action we consider appropriate — including removing content, limiting reach or features, removing event entries or prizes, or suspending or terminating accounts. For serious harms (such as child-safety violations) we act immediately and may report to the relevant authorities.
If you believe we got a decision wrong, reply to the notice you received or contact [email protected]; where an appeal path is available we will tell you the outcome of the review.
8. Reporting a problem
If you see content that breaks these Guidelines, report it in the app where available, or contact [email protected]. To report copyright, voice, or likeness infringement specifically, use our Copyright & Takedown process.
