Interim terms · 24 July 2026

Terms of use

These interim terms define the narrow boundary of the current non-commercial research prototype.

No title or identity determination

A SoundTitle record is not a government registration. It does not prove identity and does not create, decide or guarantee copyright, performers' rights, personality rights or any other property right.

Prototype status

The site and API are experimental research materials provided for evaluation. They are not a production identity service, biometric authenticator, licensing clearinghouse, legal registry or professional advice service. Public registration is paused.

Permitted use

You may read the research materials, inspect the no-data interface preview and technically evaluate the read-only public endpoints. You must independently verify any information before relying on it.

Prohibited use

Records and status

registration_status describes a stored record state only. purpose_authorization is currently NOT_EVALUATED. Existing records are classified as SELF_DECLARED and must not be presented as verified identities or approved licences.

Availability and changes

The prototype may be changed, suspended or withdrawn without notice. No service level, continued availability, data permanence, legal effect or fitness for a particular purpose is promised.

Operator and governing terms

The operating legal entity, governing law, formal notice address and dispute procedure have not yet been published. This site therefore does not offer a commercial service or accept public enrolment. Those details and professionally reviewed terms are a reopening requirement.

Privacy

Use is also subject to the interim privacy notice. Do not submit personal or sensitive information while the contact and rights-request process is unavailable.
