Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: October 16, 2026

Version: 2026-10-16

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") describes conduct and content that are not allowed on Arship. It supplements, and is part of, our Terms of Service. These are also our community guidelines. Breaking this AUP can lead to content removal, loss of features, or suspension or termination of your account.

1. Prohibited Content

You may not upload, post, send, or otherwise share through the Service any content that:

• Infringes copyright or other intellectual property. This includes commercial sound recordings (for example, songs from streaming services, CDs, or digital purchases), licensed multitrack stems (for example, from MultiTracks.com, Loop Community, or PraiseCharts), click or backing tracks licensed to a specific church or organization, or anything else you don't have the licenses or permissions for.
• Violates someone's privacy or publicity rights. Don't record or share another person's voice or image without their permission, and don't post anyone's personal information without their consent.
• Is an intimate image shared without consent, or threatens to share one. Anyone can request removal through our TAKE IT DOWN page.
• Is obscene, sexually explicit, or sexually suggestive. Any content that exploits, sexualizes, or endangers a minor, including grooming or attempts to move a minor into private contact for sexual purposes, results in immediate termination and a report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and, where appropriate, law enforcement.
• Is hateful, harassing, bullying, threatening, or defamatory, or incites violence against any person or group, including because of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or age.
• Promotes self-harm, suicide, or dangerous activity.
• Promotes illegal goods or services, including illegal drugs, weapons, or fraud.
• Contains malware, viruses, or other harmful code, or links meant to trick people.
• Is spam, phishing, or a scam, including mass messages unrelated to your team or impersonation.
• Is false or misleading in a way meant to deceive other users (for example, pretending to be a worship leader to get into a team).

2. Prohibited Conduct

When using the Service, you may not:

• Get around, disable, or interfere with any security or safety feature of the Service, including authentication, rate limits, reporting, or blocking;
• Contact someone who has blocked you through another account, or get others to do it for you;
• File false or bad-faith reports, or retaliate against someone for reporting;
• Lie about your age or date of birth, or help anyone under 18 create or use an account;
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service, except where the law allows;
• Use User Content that isn't yours to develop or train a machine-learning or AI model;
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated means to access or collect data from the Service, including other users' profile information;
• Impersonate anyone, misrepresent your connection to a team or organization, or use false credentials;
• Create accounts in bulk, or share or transfer accounts;
• Send unsolicited commercial messages, or use the Service for solicitation unrelated to your team's activity;
• Access or try to access another user's account, recordings, messages, or team data without permission; or
• Use the Service to break any law or anyone else's rights.

3. Recordings

Recordings made with Arship are for private team rehearsal and review only. Record yourself. Don't secretly record rehearsals, conversations, or other people, and don't record anyone without the consent the law requires. You may not:

• Distribute, broadcast, stream, or publish recordings outside your team;
• Sell, license, or otherwise commercially exploit recordings;
• Upload recordings to public platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Spotify, etc.) unless you have every license needed, obtained outside Arship; or
• Use recordings for anything other than rehearsal, review, or coordinating with your team.

To release a recording publicly or commercially, you must get all the necessary rights (mechanical, synchronization, master, performance) yourself. Arship does not provide them.

4. Protecting Minors

Arship is for adults 18 and older, and accounts for minors are not available. Don't create an account for a minor or let a minor use your account. If you believe a minor is using Arship, or you have any concern about a child's safety, use the in-app Report → Child safety option or email support@arship.app. We will close accounts held by minors. If a child is in immediate danger, contact local law enforcement first.

5. Reporting, Blocking & Enforcement

• Report: use Report in the App on a message, recording, song request, or member, or email support@arship.app with as much detail as you can. Reports reach Arship and are visible to your team's admins. Reports about intimate images or child safety are treated as urgent.
• Block: blocking someone hides their content and notifications from you throughout the App and stops them from messaging you directly.
• What we do: we review reports and may remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, or terminate accounts, with or without notice. Team admins can also remove content and members in their team. Severe violations (content involving minors, intimate images shared without consent, threats of violence, or criminal activity) may lead to immediate termination and referral to NCMEC or law enforcement.
• Copyright: three valid copyright takedown notices against the same account lead to termination under our DMCA Policy.
• Review: if you believe we acted in error, email support@arship.app and we will take another look.

6. Changes

We may update this AUP from time to time. We will tell you about material changes in the App or by updating the "Last updated" date above.
