What TYPE-02 is
TYPE-02 is a music discovery app made by Type Studio. A user picks one song, and TYPE-02 reads what's driving it and recommends other songs that share it. There are two kinds of run: Mini, a quick pass, and Max, a deeper multi-step pass whose result a user can refine by chatting with it. A user can play a song's 30-second preview and keep the songs they like in a Liked list on their device. The analysis and recommendations are written by Google Vertex AI (Gemini). The app is built in Flutter for iOS, Android, and macOS, and its backend runs on Google Cloud Run.
Using the app means accepting these terms. Anyone who doesn't accept them shouldn't use the app.
Eligibility
A user must be at least 13 to use TYPE-02, or at least 16 in the European Economic Area, where the digital-consent age is higher. TYPE-02 isn't built for children and doesn't knowingly collect their data. Signing in is a user's confirmation that they meet that minimum. Anyone who doesn't shouldn't use the app. If Type Studio learns that someone under the age limit signed up, it deletes the account and everything tied to it.
A user's account
A user signs in with an email address and password through Supabase Auth. TYPE-02 shares its account system with the Type Studio app, so the same sign-in, credit balance, Type Pro subscription, and run history work in both, and deleting the account deletes it in both. Supabase issues the session that TYPE-02 trusts, and the backend reads the user's Supabase user id and email on every signed-in request. A user treats their sign-in like any other credential, doesn't share it, and signs out of devices they no longer trust.
A user's data
Type Studio processes a user's data only to run what they asked for. It doesn't sell it, doesn't use it for advertising, and doesn't train any model on it. A user can delete a run, or their whole account, at any time; the privacy policy explains what each removes.
AI-generated content
TYPE-02's analysis and recommendations are written by Gemini, and AI output is probabilistic. Descriptions of a song's sound, history, or lineage, and the reasons given for a recommendation, are best-effort and can be wrong even when they read confidently. A recommended song may not be available in a user's region or on their streaming service. A user should verify any claim before relying on it for anything that matters.
TYPE-02 does not give medical, mental-health, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Nothing the app produces substitutes for a qualified human.
Third-party services and their terms
TYPE-02 relies on Google Vertex AI (Gemini) for analysis; on Apple Music, Last.fm, Deezer, iTunes Search, and Spotify for song search, song details, and 30-second previews; on Supabase for sign-in; on RevenueCat with the Apple App Store or Google Play for subscriptions; and on Sentry for error reports. Each has its own terms. Previews and cover art come from those music services, and TYPE-02 doesn't host or sell full-length songs. Opening a song on Spotify, Apple Music, or Last.fm takes a user to that service, where its own terms apply.
Acceptable use
A user must not attack the backend, probe it for exploits, scrape it, automate requests to it, or send requests beyond what the app issues. A user must not use the app to get around a music service's or a rights holder's terms, must not republish the app's analysis or recommendations at scale or as a competing product, and must not use the app for anything the laws where they live prohibit.
Type Studio may suspend or terminate access for any of these. It aims to give notice when possible, but reserves the right to act first if the abuse is causing harm.
Intellectual property
The app, its prompts, its code, and the TYPE-02 and Type Studio names belong to Type Studio and stay that way. The songs, cover art, and previews shown in the app belong to their rights holders and reach the app through those services' official interfaces. A user owns what they type into the app, such as searches, refinement notes, and chat messages, and any feedback they send.
A user may share a result with friends. A user may not republish the analysis text at scale, in a way that competes with TYPE-02, or with its attribution removed.
Copyright complaints (notice and takedown)
Type Studio respects copyright and acts on valid notices. Anyone who believes something in TYPE-02 infringes a copyright they hold sends a notice to m@typeaistudio.com with: their contact details; the work they say is infringed; the material in question and enough detail to locate it; a statement that they have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the rights holder or the law; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that they are the rights holder or authorized to act for them; and their signature (electronic is fine).
Type Studio removes or disables material that is the subject of a valid notice. Submitting a notice known to be false can expose the sender to liability.
(For U.S. notices, a designated agent is being registered with the U.S. Copyright Office; until that listing is live, send notices to the email above.)
Billing, subscriptions, and credits
TYPE-02 is free to start: a new account receives 15 complimentary starter credits. Once those are spent, continued use requires Type Pro, an auto-renewing monthly subscription ($9.99 per month, or the local-currency equivalent the store displays) sold through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Each billing period comes with 400 credits.
Each run costs a posted number of credits: a Mini run costs 6 and a Max run costs 7. The cost is shown on the analyze screen before a user starts a run, and the backend charges the amount the app showed. Refining a Max result by chat, resuming a run, or adding more recommendations to it doesn't cost extra.
The user's store account is charged at confirmation of purchase and again at each monthly renewal, until they cancel. A user manages or cancels the subscription in their App Store or Google Play account settings at least 24 hours before the renewal date; cancelling stops future charges but does not refund the current period. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies, not by Type Studio. Whether Pro is active is verified on the backend through RevenueCat, so the entitlement follows the account across devices and into the Type Studio app. If the price changes, the new price applies only from the next renewal and only with whatever notice the store requires.
Service availability
TYPE-02 is best-effort. The backend scales to zero when idle, so the first request after a quiet period takes longer. A Mini run usually takes 10 to 30 seconds and a Max run 30 to 60 seconds. Type Studio makes no uptime guarantee. When something breaks it gets fixed when possible, and bugs reported to m@typeaistudio.com get triaged faster than the ones that go unseen.
Disclaimers
The app is provided as is, with all faults and without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. Type Studio doesn't warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent the law allows, Type Studio is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from a user's use of the app, including lost data, lost profits, lost revenue, business interruption, or wasted time. If a court disagrees, its total aggregate liability for any claim is capped at the greater of fifty Canadian dollars or whatever the user paid in the twelve months before the claim.
Termination
A user can stop using TYPE-02 at any time. A run's delete control removes that run, and Delete Account under Settings, Manage Account removes the account and the data tied to it, as the privacy policy describes.
Type Studio can terminate a user's access for cause (violation of these terms, abuse, fraud, legal request) or for any other reason on reasonable notice. If Type Studio shuts TYPE-02 down entirely, it announces the date in the app at least 30 days in advance.
Changes
Type Studio may update these terms. When it does, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page changes, and for a material change the app asks the user to review and accept the new terms before they continue.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Any dispute is heard in the Ontario courts. A user protected by mandatory consumer law in another jurisdiction keeps the protections that law gives them; nothing here removes them.
