Terms of Service

Welcome to Sessio. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Sessio mobile application, our website (sessio.io), and related services (collectively, the "Platform"). By creating a Sessio account or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

Sessio is operated by Sessio ApS, registered in Denmark with CVR 45830012, Burmeistersgade 2, 1. th, 1429 København K, Denmark. Email: [email protected].

Sessio has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. By using the Platform you agree to abide by our prohibited-content rules (Section 7), and you can report content or block users at any time (Section 5.4); we act on reports of objectionable content within 24 hours.

Sessio is a workspace for music collaboration. The Platform lets you:

• Discover other creators and request to connect.
• Message connections directly.
• Schedule and plan sessions with other creators (in person or remote), including public sessions that allow request-to-join, role-targeted recruiting ("Looking For"), and audience-scoping ("Who Can View").
• Invite non-Sessio users to sessions by email.
• Manage your profile, including a featured track (searched from Apple Music), playlist embeds (Spotify or SoundCloud URL), credits, and other career fields.
• Reach the Hub directory of organisations, publishers, and labels (read-only).

We are continuing to build the Platform; additional features will be added in later releases. When those features are added, this document will be updated to cover them.

The Platform is provided on an "as is" basis, subject to mandatory statutory warranties under Danish law.

3.1 Ownership of content

You retain all rights to content you upload to or create on Sessio — including your profile photo, session cover images, free-text profile fields, and messages ("Your Content"). Sessio does not claim ownership.

You are responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to upload and share Your Content.

3.2 License to Sessio

To operate the Platform, you grant Sessio a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable license to:

• Store Your Content on our servers and those of our subprocessors.
• Display Your Content to you and to the users you authorise (collaborators in your sessions, your connections, viewers of your public profile).
• Process Your Content as needed to operate features — for example, generating image thumbnails and indexing for search.
• Create encrypted backups and copies for service continuity.

This license does not transfer copyright. You remain the owner.

3.3 Visibility controls

Sessio gives you several visibility controls. You are responsible for using them appropriately.

• Discoverability toggle — controls whether your profile appears in Explore.
• Session privacy — each session can be Connections-only (invite-only) or Public (visible in Browse Sessions and accepting request-to-join).
• Who Can View — Public sessions can be scoped to Everyone, Connections, or Favourites only.
• Looking For — Public sessions can be filtered to only appear to users whose professions match.
• Direct messages and session group chats are visible only to participants.

3.4 License to other users

When you invite a user to a session, they can see the session details, participate in the group chat, and (for in-person or remote sessions) see the location.

Inviting someone to collaborate does not transfer ownership of any content you share with them in the session context.

3.5 Profile audio embeds

When you feature a track (searched from Apple Music) or embed a Spotify or SoundCloud playlist URL on your profile, you confirm you have the right to associate that content with your profile. Sessio does not host the content — Apple Music preview clips and any embedded playlists are served directly by the respective platform.

4.1 Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for ensuring that Your Content (profile photos, session cover images, embedded media URLs, free-text fields, messages, and anything else you submit) does not infringe third-party copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights.

4.2 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sessio, our staff, and our subprocessors from any claims, damages, costs, or liabilities arising from infringement in Your Content or from disputes between you and other users over rights to content.

4.3 Takedown and counter-notice

If we receive a properly formed copyright takedown notice or other valid request to remove unlawful content under applicable law (including the EU Digital Services Act and Danish law):

• We will notify you without undue delay.
• We will remove or restrict access to the allegedly infringing content without undue delay.
• You may file a counter-notice if you believe the action is unjustified. We will pass valid counter-notices to the complainant.

Sessio is not liable for the substance of takedown notices or for content removed in response to them. You are responsible for defending your own claims.

5.1 Inviting collaborators

When you invite someone to a session, you confirm you have the right to do so and that you have any necessary permissions from the rights-holders of the content involved.

Direct invites (existing Sessio users). Invitees from your connections list see the invite in their Sessions inbox and can accept or decline.

External invites (non-Sessio users via email). You may invite non-members by email. By doing so, you confirm the recipient has consented to receive communication from you, or that you have a pre-existing relationship that makes it reasonable to contact them. Sessio applies a rate limit of 15 invites per recipient email address per rolling 7-day window across all senders, to prevent harassment.

Recipients may delete their data at any time by emailing [email protected].

5.2 Collaboration disputes

Sessio does not mediate disputes between users over content, conduct, or commercial arrangements. You agree to resolve such disputes directly with the other user or through appropriate legal channels.

5.3 Privacy of communications

Direct messages and session group-chat messages are visible only to participants and to Sessio's authorised staff or systems, for the limited purposes of operating the Platform, investigating abuse or violations of these Terms, or complying with legal process. Messages are transmitted over encrypted connections (TLS) and stored encrypted at rest. They are not end-to-end encrypted.

5.4 Blocking and reporting

You may block another user, which severs the connection (if any) and removes both users from each other's Explore and Browse Sessions surfaces.

You may report users or content for violation of these Terms via the in-app report flow or by emailing [email protected]. We will review reports of objectionable content within 24 hours, remove content found to be in violation, and eject the responsible user from the Platform. We prioritise reports involving illegal content, safety risks, and child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

You must be at least 18 years old to use Sessio. By using the Platform, you represent that you are 18 or older and legally able to enter into binding agreements.

You may not use the Platform if you have been banned from Sessio for violating these Terms, are subject to applicable sanctions, or intend to use the Platform for illegal activity.

7.1 Prohibited content

Sessio has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Content or behaviour that falls into the categories below is prohibited, and Sessio will take action as described in Section 5.4 and Section 7.3.

You may not upload, share, or transmit content that:

• Infringes copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights.
• Contains hate speech, harassment, threats, or incitement of violence.
• Sexualises minors.
• Violates privacy, defames others, or constitutes unlawful surveillance.
• Is illegal in Denmark or the European Union.

7.2 Prohibited behaviour

You may not:

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Platform.
• Disrupt service, overload servers, or distribute malware.
• Scrape or automate data collection without our written consent.
• Impersonate others.
• Send spam, unsolicited bulk messages, or excessive invitations.
• Use the Platform in violation of applicable law.

7.3 Enforcement

If you violate these Terms, we will remove the offending content and may suspend or permanently eject your account from the Platform. We may report you to law enforcement where required and pursue other legal remedies.

8.1 Disclaimer

The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not warrant uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation, except as required by mandatory consumer law.

8.2 Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sessio is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including loss of data, loss of profits, loss of business opportunity, or harm arising from disputes between users or from third-party claims.

8.3 Exceptions

These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by Danish or EU law, including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, personal injury, or statutory consumer rights.

Your use of the Platform is governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes what data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights under GDPR. By using the Platform, you confirm that you have read the Privacy Policy.

Sessio relies on third-party subprocessors to operate the Platform — including Fly.io (backend hosting), Neon (database), Cloudflare (file storage), Expo (push notifications and app builds), Postmark (transactional email), EmailOctopus (waitlist and marketing email), and Vercel (web hosting). These services have their own terms and privacy practices. The current and complete list is set out in the Privacy Policy Section 6 and is available on request at [email protected].

11.1 Termination by you

You may close your account from in-app settings at any time. On closure, your personal data is deleted or anonymised according to the retention schedule in our Privacy Policy.

11.2 Termination by Sessio

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, engage in illegal activity, infringe rights, or otherwise abuse the Platform. Termination is effective immediately or with notice if required by law.

11.3 After termination

After termination, you lose access to the Platform. You have 30 days to request an export of your data via [email protected]. Some records (tax records and similar legal-obligation data) are retained as described in the Privacy Policy.

Other users may retain copies of content they downloaded before termination, subject to the licenses you granted.

These Terms are governed by Danish law, including consumer protection rules implementing EU law. Disputes shall first be attempted through good-faith negotiation. Unresolved disputes are subject to the courts of Copenhagen, Denmark, without prejudice to your right as an EU consumer to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.

13.1 Negotiation

Contact [email protected] with details of the dispute. We respond within 30 days.

13.2 Out-of-court dispute settlement & courts

Consumers in Denmark may submit complaints to the Danish Mediation Team for Consumer Complaints and the Consumer Complaints Board. Otherwise, disputes are submitted to the Copenhagen City Court, without prejudice to EU consumer rights.

13.3 Disputes between users

Disputes between users — over content ownership, credits, or commercial arrangements — are not subject to Sessio's dispute resolution. Resolve them directly or via appropriate legal channels.

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified to active users at least 30 days before they take effect, where reasonably practicable. Continued use after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance.
