Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the ONO Tape Deck platform and its services (collectively, the "Service"), you signify your agreement to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, do not use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and ONO.

2. User-Generated Content & Copyright

Ownership and License

You retain all ownership rights in the audio, artwork, and other content ("User Content") you upload, post, or display on or through the Service. By submitting User Content, you grant ONO a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the User Content in connection with the Service and ONO's (and its successors' and affiliates') business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels. This license is solely for the purpose of enabling ONO to operate, promote, and improve the Service.

Private Storage and Display Service

ONO is a private cloud storage and display service. Except when users actively share tape transfer links, user-uploaded content will not be publicly indexed, searched, or distributed on a large scale by the platform. Users explicitly understand that their uploaded audio files should be limited to their personal use or for lawful asset transfers in accordance with the Service rules.

Your Responsibility for Copyright Clearance (DMCA-style Safe Harbor)

You are solely responsible for obtaining all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions for any User Content you submit. You represent and warrant that your User Content does not infringe upon the copyrights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or any other intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity. ONO acts as a "neutral platform" and does not pre-screen User Content. However, ONO will promptly respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe your copyright has been infringed, please send a DMCA notice to dmca@onotape.one. Upon receipt of a valid notice, ONO will remove or disable access to the infringing material.

3. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities:

  • (a)Scraping, accessing, monitoring, or copying any part of the Service by automated means;
  • (b)Uploading, posting, or transmitting any User Content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable;
  • (c)Attempting to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any aspect of the Service;
  • (d)Interfering with or disrupting the integrity or performance of the Service;
  • (e)Attempting to gain unauthorized access to any accounts, computer systems, or networks connected to the Service.

4. Digital Goods & Refunds

Service Pricing

Users purchase digital goods through "Blank Tape Packs" (blind boxes), with each tape priced at RM 9.90 (or equivalent value in other currencies based on region). Once payment is successful and the user triggers the "tear open" action, the digital asset delivery is considered complete.

Refund Policy

ONO offers digital goods, such as "blind boxes" or "packs," which may contain various digital collectibles. These digital goods are often opaque in their contents until "torn" or opened by the user. Due to the inherent nature of digital products and the immediate revelation of contents upon opening, all sales of "torn" or opened digital packs are final and non-refundable. Refunds may only be considered for unopened, unused digital packs, at ONO's sole discretion.

5. Limitation of Liability

The ONO Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. ONO makes no warranties, expressed or implied, regarding the Service, including without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or course of performance. ONO does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

In no event shall ONO be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from:

  • (i)Your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service;
  • (ii)Any conduct or content of any third party on the Service;
  • (iii)Any content obtained from the Service; and
  • (iv)Unauthorized access, use or alteration of your transmissions or content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence) or any other legal theory, whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage.

6. Private Infrastructure and Signal Ownership

Private Storage Containers

The digital tape assets provided by ONO are private, anonymized cloud storage containers. Each tape is accessible only to its designated owner and authorized recipients via explicit transfer. ONO does not provide any public search, public indexing, or streaming discovery service. This is a 1:1 private signal transcription and transfer tool.

Ownership Responsibility

Any audio signal ("Signal") you upload to the ONO platform remains your sole intellectual property. You bear full responsibility for ensuring that all uploaded content complies with applicable copyright law and that you hold the necessary rights or licenses for any material recorded onto a tape. ONO operates as a private infrastructure provider and does not pre-screen uploaded Signals for copyright compliance.

7. Legal Entity and Jurisdiction

The ONO platform is an independent project developed and operated by Jeff Sia Yu Heng. These Terms are governed by the laws of Malaysia. Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction within Malaysia for resolution.
