Effective date: 22 April 2026
Last updated: 22 April 2026

Welcome to Vinyl Monkey. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and PB Labs Ltd ("PB Labs", "we", "us", "our"), a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17054267, with registered office at 77 - 81 Alma Road, Clifton, Bristol. BS8 2DP. They govern your use of the Vinyl Monkey mobile application, any related websites, and any services, features, or content we provide (together, the "Service").

By downloading, installing, creating an account, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, whichever is higher) to use the Service. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Your account

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
• You must provide accurate information when you register and keep it up to date.
• You may not share your account, impersonate another person, or create an account using another person's information.
• We may suspend or terminate an account that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or applicable law.

3. The Service

Vinyl Monkey helps you catalogue, value, discover, and manage your vinyl record collection, including integrations with third-party music and data services (for example Discogs, Spotify, Apple Music, Last.fm, TIDAL, Deezer, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Qobuz, eBay, and others we may add from time to time). The availability of any specific feature or integration may change without notice.

4. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellations

4.1 Plans

We offer a free tier and paid subscription plans ("Premium"). Current plans and pricing are shown in the app.

4.2 Payment through app stores

Paid subscriptions are sold through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.

4.3 Auto-renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually, depending on the plan) at the then-current rate unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You will be charged within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.

4.4 Managing and cancelling

You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID Account Settings (iOS) or Google Play subscription settings (Android). Uninstalling the app does not cancel your subscription.

4.5 Refunds

Refunds are handled by Apple or Google in accordance with their respective policies. PB Labs does not process refunds for app-store purchases directly. Where you have statutory rights to a refund under applicable consumer law (including the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015), those rights are not affected.

4.6 Free trials and promotional offers

Where offered, free trials convert to a paid subscription automatically at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial ends.

4.7 Price changes

We may change subscription prices. We will give you reasonable advance notice (at least 30 days where required by law), and any change will take effect at your next renewal. If you do not agree, you can cancel before the new price applies.

5. Your content

5.1 Ownership

You retain all rights to the data you add to Vinyl Monkey — including records you catalogue, photographs, notes, playlists, and collection information ("Your Content").

5.2 Licence to us

You grant PB Labs a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display, and otherwise process Your Content solely to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service for you and, where applicable, to share it at your direction (for example, if you choose to share a collection).

5.3 Your responsibility

You represent that you have the right to upload Your Content and that it does not infringe any third party's rights or violate any law.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service to violate any law, regulation, or third-party right;
• upload content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, or obscene;
• attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service except to the extent permitted by applicable law;
• interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers, or related networks;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to other accounts, systems, or data;
• scrape, bulk-download, or resell the Service, its data, or third-party data delivered through it;
• use the Service to send spam or malware;
• use the Service to build or train any machine-learning or AI model without our prior written consent.

7. Third-party services and content

The Service integrates with third-party platforms (Discogs, Spotify, Apple Music, Last.fm, TIDAL, Deezer, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Qobuz, eBay, and others). Those platforms have their own terms and privacy policies, and your use of them is governed by those terms. PB Labs is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of any third-party service, and price or valuation data obtained from third parties (for example eBay market values) is provided for information only and is not a guarantee of any actual sale price.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including the Vinyl Monkey name, logo, software, design, and all content we provide (other than Your Content and third-party content), is owned by PB Labs or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.

9. Beta features

We may label features as "beta," "preview," or similar. Beta features are provided "as is," may be unstable, and may be changed or removed at any time.

10. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.

11. Termination

• By you. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from within the app.
• By us. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if continued provision of the Service is no longer commercially viable. Where reasonably possible, we will give you advance notice.
• Effect. On termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5.2, 8, 12, 13, 14, and 15) will survive.

12. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any valuation, pricing, or metadata is accurate or complete.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any warranty or right that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including your statutory rights as a consumer under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 or equivalent legislation in your country).

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• PB Labs will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.
• Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims in any 12-month period will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid PB Labs for the Service in that period or (b) £50.
• Nothing in this Section limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold PB Labs harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms, except to the extent caused by our own negligence or breach.

15. Changes to the Service or these Terms

We may update the Service and these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you in the app, by email, or by updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You and PB Labs agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, except that if you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence, and mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence will continue to apply.

If you are an EU/EEA consumer, you may also access the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

• Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the app.
