Terms & conditions
The ground rules for using This Machine Kills Apathy and accessing its creative work.
About these terms
These terms cover the TMKA information website, web app, mobile apps and related digital content. They describe the rules for using the service and the scope of access to its creative work. The operator and contact details appear below.
Your account
Provide accurate account information and keep your sign-in credentials private. You are responsible for activity you authorise through your account. Do not use another person’s account without permission or attempt to bypass access controls.
You must be legally able to accept these terms or have any parental or guardian permission required by the laws that apply to you. Contact admin@instinctive.studio promptly if you suspect unauthorised account access.
Purchases and access
The TMKA offer is ₹500 plus GST, paid once, for lifetime app access. There is no automatically renewing subscription. Review the final payable amount and tax information shown at checkout before payment.
Access is linked to the account associated with the confirmed purchase. Starting a payment or seeing a browser success message does not on its own prove that payment is complete. Digital access is provided after the service verifies the final payment and purchase status.
A purchase provides personal access to the experience within the app. It does not transfer ownership of the music or artwork, or grant commercial, public-performance, redistribution or download rights unless those rights are expressly provided.
Creative work and permitted use
Music, recordings, artwork, photographs, videos, software and other material are protected by the rights of their respective owners. Use the features made available to you for personal enjoyment and exploration.
Do not redistribute protected files, sell access, remove rights notices, circumvent media protection, scrape private content or use the service in a way that infringes another person’s rights.
Community and sharing
Keep community contributions lawful and respectful. Do not post threats, harassment, hate, spam, another person’s private information, or material you do not have permission to share. You remain responsible for your contributions.
The permission needed to host and display contributions is limited to operating the relevant community feature and remains subject to the deletion policy and applicable law. Use in-app reporting controls where available, or email admin@instinctive.studio to report content or account concerns.
Where the lending feature is available, use the in-app invitation and access controls. Sharing is temporary and subject to the terms displayed for that loan. It does not transfer the original purchase or create a right to copy or resell the content.
Availability and changes
An internet connection, a compatible device and an active account may be needed. Access can be interrupted by maintenance, network problems or third-party outages. Feature availability can vary by platform.
We will communicate material changes affecting purchased access through the service or your account contact details. Changes remain subject to the Cancellation & Refund Policy and applicable consumer rights.
Suspension, deletion and refunds
Access may be restricted where reasonably necessary to address fraud, serious misuse or a legal requirement. Account deletion is a separate process from a payment cancellation or refund request.
Purchase concerns and refund requests are handled under the Cancellation & Refund Policy. These terms do not exclude rights or remedies that applicable law requires.
Questions and disputes
If you have a concern about the service or a purchase, email admin@instinctive.studio so the issue can be investigated. Applicable consumer rights remain protected.
These terms are governed by the laws of India, without limiting any mandatory consumer rights or remedies available to you under applicable law.
