Terms of use
Last updated 22 October 2026
In short: your music is yours. Use FirstTake to make your own songs, don't upload things you don't have the right to, and know that a listen link lets people hear and copy your song for themselves.
Your account
You sign in with your email address. Keep access to that inbox private, because anyone who can read it can sign in as you. You're responsible for what happens in your account.
Your music
- You keep all rights to the songs and recordings you make. We claim no ownership.
- You give us permission to store, copy, process and play your content only as needed to run FirstTake for you and for the people you share it with.
- Listen links: when you create one, anyone who has the link can listen and can make their own copy of the song in their account to change for themselves. Turn the link off at any time; copies already made stay with the people who made them.
- Collaborators you invite as editors can save new versions of the song. You can remove them at any time.
What you may not do
- Upload recordings, samples or lyrics you don't have the right to use.
- Use FirstTake for anything illegal, hateful or harassing, or to send spam.
- Try to break, overload or get around the limits or security of the service.
We may remove content or close accounts that break these rules.
Plans and payment
- The Free plan includes one song and 250 MB of recordings.
- Pro is a monthly subscription with unlimited songs and more storage. Payments are handled by Stripe and renew each month until you cancel.
- You can cancel any time from the Account menu. Pro stays active until the end of the period you've paid for; we don't refund partial months.
- If you return to Free, your existing songs stay, but you can't create new ones while you're above the free limit.
- We may change plans or prices; changes to a paid plan apply from your next billing period, and we'll tell you first.
The service
FirstTake is provided as it is. We work hard to keep your songs safe, but we can't promise the service will never be interrupted or lose data, so keep your own copies of important work (Song menu → Save project file). To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect losses or for more than what you paid us in the previous 12 months.
Ending
You can delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or put the service or other users at risk.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms; if a change matters, we'll update the date above and tell signed-in users. Questions: hello@firsttake.online.
