DOZ — General Terms and Conditions of Use

DOZ is a mobile-first, community-driven platform for discovering, sharing and comparing music across streaming services. Users connect one or more supported music-streaming accounts — currently Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer — and can:

• share their favorite tracks through a social feed (posts called “dozs”) and comment on them;
• build a music profile and compare their musical taste with other users (“compatibility”);
• browse, save and transfer playlists and tracks between supported providers;
• discover other users’ musical universe.

DOZ is a social layer above streaming services and is not a substitute for them. Additional providers may be supported over time.

• User: any individual using the DOZ platform with an account.
• Visitor: any individual accessing public content without logging in.
• Doz (Post): a music post shared by a user, containing one or more tracks and an optional comment.
• Music Provider: a supported streaming service connected by the user (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and others added over time).
• Provider Data: data retrieved via a Music Provider’s API, such as user ID, playlists, favorites, listening signals and track metadata.
• Compatibility: the comparison DOZ computes between two users’ music profiles.
• Platform: the DOZ mobile application and website.
• Personal Data: any data relating to an identified or identifiable individual.

Users can connect to DOZ using their Spotify, Apple Music or Deezer account. By connecting, users authorize DOZ to access the specific Provider Data necessary to enable core features, such as building a music profile, viewing and transferring playlists, comparing compatibility, and saving tracks.

Depending on the provider, sign-up may include email verification and choosing a username.

Users must be at least 16 years old and hold a valid account with a supported Music Provider. All information provided must be accurate and kept up to date.

Users are responsible for complying with the terms of the Music Providers they connect. DOZ’s access to Provider Data depends on the permissions each provider grants, which may change over time and may differ between providers.

Users agree to:

• use the Platform for personal, non-commercial purposes;
• refrain from publishing illegal, hateful or infringing content;
• not abuse, spam or harass other users;
• not attempt to interfere with, circumvent or damage the Platform or its infrastructure, including provider integrations.

DOZ reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts for any misuse.

Zero tolerance. DOZ has zero tolerance for objectionable content (including hateful, harassing, sexually explicit or violent content) and for abusive users. Users can report any content or account and block other users directly in the app (see dozapp.com/support). We review every report within 24 hours, remove content that violates these Terms and suspend or terminate the accounts responsible.

Users retain ownership of the content they post, including dozs, comments and their own playlists. By posting, users grant DOZ a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display and distribute such content on the Platform for the purposes of operating and promoting DOZ.

Users are solely responsible for the content they share and agree not to post anything that infringes third-party rights.

Music, artwork, track metadata and audio previews are provided by the connected Music Providers and their licensors. DOZ does not own this content and displays it subject to each provider’s terms.

Audio previews and certain data signals are not consistently available across providers. Their availability, length and playback depend on the relevant provider and may be limited or unavailable.

Playing full tracks and saving tracks into a user’s library or playlists is performed through the user’s own provider account and remains subject to that provider’s service and subscription.

The design, branding and code of the DOZ platform are owned by SARL PAX or its licensors. Except for content posted by users and music content accessed via Music Providers, all rights are reserved.

Users may not copy, distribute or use DOZ’s proprietary elements without prior written permission.

DOZ handles personal data in compliance with the GDPR and French data protection law. This includes building a music profile and computing compatibility between users. For full details, including the profiling involved in the compatibility feature, see our Privacy Policy.

DOZ acts as a technical intermediary and is not responsible for:

• the accuracy or completeness of music metadata, audio features or compatibility results, which are indicative;
• failures, changes or limitations in any Music Provider’s API or service (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and others), or in third-party enrichment services;
• third-party content shared by users;
• user interactions occurring off-platform.

Compatibility scores and related insights are provided for informational and entertainment purposes and do not constitute any form of advice.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted service and may suspend access for maintenance or legal compliance.

Users may disconnect a provider or their account at any time. DOZ may suspend or terminate access in case of violation of these Terms.

Upon termination, personal data will be retained and processed only as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may amend these Terms to reflect changes to the Platform or legal requirements. Any major change will be notified to users via email or a notice on the Platform.

These Terms are governed by the laws of France. Any dispute shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Paris courts.
