You must be at least 18 years of age to use our Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organisation, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

- Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.
- Maintain the security of your account credentials and not share them with any third party.

- Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at our discretion if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms.
3. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Recapa is a platform that enables fans to upload video footage captured at live events. We aggregate crowd-captured video, synchronise it with professional soundboard audio, and produce shared recap videos of the event. The Services may also include tools and interfaces that provide labels, artists, and event organisers with access to synchronised, rights-cleared content for marketing and promotional use.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, with or without notice.
4. USER CONTENT AND LICENCE GRANT
4.1 Your ownership
You retain ownership of any video footage, images, or other content you upload to the Services ('User Content'). Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your User Content to Recapa.
4.2 Licence grant to Recapa
By uploading User Content to the Services, you grant Recapa a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, and sublicensable licence to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, distribute, and otherwise exploit your User Content, in whole or in part, in any media format and through any media channel now known or hereafter developed, for the following purposes:
- Service delivery: To synchronise your footage with professional audio, stitch it with other users' footage, and produce shared recap videos.
- Platform operation: To host, store, display, and deliver your User Content through the Services.
- Marketing and promotion: To use your User Content (or derivatives thereof) to promote Recapa, the Services, and the events to which the content relates.
- Commercial licensing: To sublicense your User Content to third parties, including but not limited to record labels, artists, artist management, tour managers, promoters, event organisers, and their authorised agents, for marketing, promotional, editorial, and commercial purposes (see Section 5 below for further detail).
This licence continues even if you stop using the Services or delete your account, to the extent that your User Content has already been incorporated into recap videos, shared with third parties under licence, or is otherwise reasonably necessary for the continued operation of the Services.
4.3 Audio synchronisation
You acknowledge and agree that Recapa may replace, augment, or synchronise the audio track of your User Content with professional soundboard audio or other audio sources. The resulting synchronised content may be materially different from your original upload.
4.4 No obligation to use
We are under no obligation to use, display, or include your User Content in any recap video, on the platform, or in any other context. We may, at our sole discretion, select, edit, crop, or exclude any User Content.
4.5 Attribution
While we may attribute User Content to the contributing user within the Services (for example, within the app's recap view), we are not obligated to provide attribution in all contexts, including when User Content is sublicensed to third parties or used for promotional purposes.
4.6 No compensation
You acknowledge that no compensation, royalties, or fees are or will become payable to you in connection with the licence granted under this Section 4 or the sublicensing described in Section 5. The value exchange for your contribution is the delivery of the synchronised recap experience and participation in the collective event memory.
4.7 Content removal and deletion
You may request the removal of your User Content from the Services at any time by contacting us at help@recapa.app or, where available, through the deletion features within the app. Upon receiving a valid removal request, we will use reasonable efforts to remove your User Content from the platform within a reasonable timeframe.
However, you acknowledge and agree that:
- Where your User Content has already been sublicensed to third parties prior to your removal request, that sublicensed content will not be recalled or withdrawn from those third parties. The sublicence granted to them remains in effect.
- Where your User Content has already been incorporated into recap videos or other derivative works that have been distributed or shared, it may not be practicable to remove your individual contribution from those works.
- Residual copies of your User Content may persist in backup systems for a limited period before being permanently deleted.
Removal from the platform does not terminate the licence granted under Section 4.2 with respect to content already in circulation. For the avoidance of doubt, no new sublicences of your removed User Content will be granted after your removal request has been processed.
4.8 Third-party content in recordings
Your User Content may incidentally capture third-party intellectual property, including but not limited to musical performances, artist likenesses, venue branding, and other audience members. The licence you grant under these Terms relates solely to your visual footage as captured by you. Recapa does not claim ownership of or licence rights over any third-party intellectual property embedded in your recordings. The use of any such third-party content (including musical performances and sound recordings) is governed by separate agreements between Recapa and the relevant rights holders.
4.9 Soundboard audio
The professional soundboard audio used to synchronise with your User Content is provided to Recapa under separate licence agreements with the relevant rights holders (such as artists, labels, or their representatives). You have no ownership of, licence to, or right to separately download, extract, or redistribute the soundboard audio or any synchronised version of your User Content that incorporates it, except as expressly provided through the Services.
5. SUBLICENSING TO THIRD PARTIES
5.1 Right to sublicense
Recapa may sublicense your User Content (including any synchronised, edited, or derivative versions) to third parties. These third parties may include, without limitation:
- Record labels and music distributors

5.2 Permitted uses by sublicensees

- Editorial and press coverage
- Event recaps and highlight reels
- Broadcast, streaming, and digital distribution
- Advertising and commercial purposes related to the event, the artist, or the music industry
5.3 Sublicensing terms
Recapa will enter into appropriate licence agreements with sublicensees. You acknowledge that you will not be a party to those agreements and that sublicensees' use of your User Content will be governed by the terms Recapa sets with them.
5.4 Modifications by sublicensees
Third-party sublicensees may edit, crop, overlay, combine, or otherwise modify your User Content for their permitted purposes. You waive any right to inspect or approve such modifications.
