Terms.

Mixtaped is owned and operated by Verstack For Marketing and PR L.L.C S.O.C, a limited liability company registered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (commercial license no. 1516468), Office 101B-06, Mohammed Bin Al Zubair building, Al Garhoud, Dubai, UAE. Wherever these pages say "we", that's who is meant.

Everything you put in Mixtaped — entries, notes, photos — remains yours. You give us only the permission needed to store it and show it to the people your visibility settings allow. Public shelves sit on your profile; an unlisted shelf is off your profile but readable by anyone who knows its address, and the address is your handle plus the shelf's name rather than a secret code. The privacy page explains exactly what each setting does. Delete something and that permission ends with it.

Sign-in is by email code, so your account is as safe as your inbox. One handle per person, chosen honestly — handles that impersonate someone else or squat a brand can be reclaimed.

You must be at least 13 to have an account — 16 where your country sets that as the age of digital consent. Mixtaped is a library of grown-up taste with an audience, not a place built for children, and we remove accounts we learn belong to someone under the line.

Your handle is your address, so we won't take it away for being quiet. Going a while without opening Mixtaped costs you nothing, and a library you never touch is still your library. The only case where we'd free a handle is an account that has not been signed into at all for at least six months and holds nothing — no shelves, no entries — so the name isn't locked up by an empty account nobody came back to. Even then we write to the email address on the account first and give you time to answer.

The free plan is genuinely free and lets you keep a real library. Paid plans — Plus and Max — raise the shelf and entry limits and renew monthly. Prices are shown before you subscribe. There are two places to buy them, and they are not interchangeable.

On the web, payment is processed by Stripe — we never see your card number — and a subscription starts with a 7-day free trial. Invoices, the card on file, and cancelling all live in settings, which opens Stripe's own billing portal.

In the iPhone app, a plan is an Apple in-app purchase billed to your Apple ID. Apple takes the payment and holds that billing relationship; any trial or introductory offer is the one the App Store shows you before you confirm. Cancelling, changing the payment method, and asking for a refund happen in your Apple ID subscription settings — not in Mixtaped, because that is the only place they work. We cannot cancel or refund an Apple subscription on your behalf.

One account carries one plan, so you only ever need one of the two. If you do subscribe in both places, both are real and both keep charging while only one sets your plan — write to us and we'll sort it out with you rather than cancelling either on a guess.

Refunds. Bought on the web and changed your mind? Write to [email protected] within 14 days of a charge and we refund that charge in full — a person reads the mail and issues it through Stripe, usually within two working days, back to the card it came from. Beyond fourteen days we look at each case rather than promising; write anyway. Bought in the iPhone app? Apple holds that money and only Apple can return it: request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com or in your Apple ID settings, and Apple decides under its own policy — we cannot see, grant or refuse it.

Whichever way you bought it, you keep the paid limits until the end of the period you've paid for. Downgrading deletes nothing and locks nothing: your account stays open, every shelf stays visible to whoever your settings allow, and you can still read, edit and delete everything you have, including anything above the free limits. The single thing that stops is adding something new. A shelf already holding more entries than the free plan allows won't take a new entry until you remove some, and once you have more shelves than the plan allows you won't be able to make another one — the shelves themselves keep working. Get back under the limit and adding works again. If we change a price, we'll tell you before it affects you.

Mixtaped is a place for keeping and sharing the things that shaped you. It is not a place for:

• Anything illegal — content that breaks the law where you are or where we are, including anything that sexualises minors, which is reported to the authorities, not just removed.
• Pornography or sexually explicit material. Art and film with adult themes belong to their shelves; explicit imagery does not belong here at all.
• Hate or harassment — content that attacks people for who they are, or shelves aimed at a person rather than at a taste.
• What isn't yours to share — other people's private photos, personal information, or work passed off as your own.
• Abuse of the service — scraping, spam, probing, or overloading it.

Names are held to the same standard: handles, shelf names, display names and bios are the most public strings here, and ones that are obscene or impersonate someone can be refused or reclaimed. The works you collect keep their own titles — a film is called what it is called.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that cross these lines — ideally after a conversation, immediately when someone could be harmed. Curate covers and quotes the way personal collections always have: respectfully, at personal scale.

Search results, covers, previews, and metadata come from other people's services: TMDb (films), Deezer and Apple's iTunes Search (music, and the 30-second previews), Open Library (books), Steam and RAWG (games), Wikipedia (topics), OpenStreetMap's Nominatim (places), Geoapify (place map thumbnails), and YouTube or Google Maps when you paste a link. That material belongs to its owners, arrives as-is, and Mixtaped isn't endorsed or certified by any of them.

Mixtaped is provided as-is, without warranties. We work hard not to lose a byte of your library — and you can export it anytime — but we can't promise uninterrupted uptime, and features may change. If we ever wind the service down, we'll give you notice and time to export.

To the extent the law allows, the most we can owe you if something goes wrong is what you've paid us in the twelve months before it did. Said plainly: on the free plan that is zero, and on a paid plan it is roughly a year of what you paid for it — never more, whatever the loss. That is the honest size of the promise behind a service that costs either nothing or a few dollars a month, and it is the reason the export button exists. Your own copy is worth keeping.

You can delete your library in settings at any moment — profile, shelves, entries, and uploaded files go, and it's irreversible. A subscription bought on the web is cancelled as part of that deletion.

An Apple subscription is the one thing deleting cannot reach: cancel it in your Apple ID subscription settings first, or Apple carries on billing for an account that no longer exists. We may suspend accounts that break these terms, ideally after a conversation, not before.

These terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates as applied in the Emirate of Dubai, and disputes belong to the courts of Dubai.

That choice does not take away protections you cannot sign away. If you live in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or anywhere else whose consumer law applies to you regardless of what a contract says, those rights stand alongside these terms, and the privacy page describes how your data is handled under them. For anything about your personal data, the address below reaches the person responsible.

Disagreements, questions, or anything unclear: [email protected].

This page is what you agree to. What we actually hold, who can see it, and how to get it all back out is on the privacy page.
