Terms of Use

The rules for using Wormhole. Short version: the app is yours to make music with, what you make belongs to you, and you are the one responsible for the material you sample.

Last updated:

1. Who you are dealing with

Wormhole is operated by Moritz Maximilian Fricke, Körtestraße 22, 10967 Berlin, Germany. Contact: wormhole@aimoxyz.xyz.

These terms apply between you and us. Your download of the app from the App Store is additionally governed by Apple's own terms.

2. Your licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use Wormhole on the Apple devices you own or control, for as long as you comply with these terms.

You may not copy, sell, rent, sublicense or redistribute the app, reverse engineer it except to the extent that mandatory law permits, or remove any notices from it.

3. What you make is yours

We claim no rights whatsoever in the music you make with Wormhole. Your projects and exports belong to you, and you may use them commercially without asking us and without paying us a share.

The sounds we ship with the app — drum kits, synth presets and any sample packs you buy — may be used in your own tracks, released commercially, without attribution. You may not redistribute them as sounds: reselling or giving away the raw samples, or including them in a competing sound library or instrument, is not permitted.

4. The material you bring in — read this one

Wormhole lets you import audio and video from your device. You are solely responsible for having the right to use whatever you import.

A clip you found in a social feed is almost always someone else's copyrighted recording. Sampling it for yourself at home is one thing; publishing, distributing, monetising or releasing a track built on it is another, and it can require a licence from both the rights holder of the recording and the rights holder of the composition. Wormhole gives you no licence to any material you did not create, and we cannot give you one.

You agree not to use Wormhole to infringe anyone's rights, and to indemnify us against claims arising from material you imported.

5. Free and Pro

Wormhole is free to download and use. Wormhole Pro is an optional subscription that lifts the limits of the free version.

We may change what the free version includes for future releases, but we will not remove a paid feature from an active subscription during its term.

6. Subscription, renewal and cancellation

Wormhole Pro is offered as a monthly or a yearly subscription. The current prices are shown in the app before you buy, in your local currency, including any applicable VAT.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the same price for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.

You cancel in your Apple Account settings — not with us, and we cannot cancel it for you. Cancelling stops the next renewal; the subscription stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for.

Where a free trial is offered, any unused part of it is forfeited if you buy a subscription before the trial ends. Only one trial per Apple Account.

7. Payment and refunds

All purchases are made through the App Store, and Apple is the seller of record. We receive no payment details from you.

Refunds are therefore handled by Apple under its own policy, not by us. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. If something in the app is broken, write to us anyway — we would rather fix it.

8. Right of withdrawal

As a consumer in the EU you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a contract for digital content.

By starting a subscription you expressly agree that we begin performance immediately, and you acknowledge that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal once performance has begun (§ 356 Abs. 5 BGB, Art. 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU). This does not affect Apple's own, more generous refund practice described above.

9. Availability and warranty

We work to keep Wormhole functioning, but we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every future version of iOS. Audio software is complex and phones vary.

Your statutory rights as a consumer, including the statutory warranty for digital products, are unaffected by anything in these terms.

10. Liability

We are liable without limitation for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and where liability is mandatory under the German Product Liability Act.

For slight negligence we are liable only where we breach an obligation that is essential to the purpose of this contract, and then only for foreseeable damage typical of this kind of contract. Any further liability is excluded.

Practical advice that no clause can replace: your projects live on your phone. Keep your own backups and export anything you care about.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when a feature changes or the law does. The current version is always at this address with its date. Continued use after a change means you accept the new version; if you do not, stop using the app and cancel any subscription.

12. Applicable law

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer resident in the EU, you also keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are neither obliged nor willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
