Terms of Service

The OPTIMUS GRYME Tunes Portal is a private, invite-only music library. Use it to listen, get hyped, and play the tracks in your DJ sets. Don't re-upload them anywhere. Don't pretend you made them. We can revoke access if those lines get crossed. The full terms are below.

The Portal (the "Service") is operated by OPTIMUS GRYME, based in Aotearoa New Zealand. It distributes original music to two tiers of vetted users:

• DJs (D−28). WAV and MP3 downloads up to four weeks before public release.
• Supporters (D−14). Streaming plus MP3 downloads up to two weeks before public release.

• You must be 16 years or older to use the Service.
• Access is by invitation only. We may decline or revoke an invitation at any time, for any reason.
• One account per person. Don't share credentials.
• You are responsible for keeping your sign-in method secure. Tell us immediately if you think your account has been compromised.

All music, artwork, and other content on the Portal (the "Tracks") is owned by OPTIMUS GRYME or our licensors. We don't transfer ownership when you download — we grant you a limited license.

DJs receive:a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to (a) listen for personal enjoyment, and (b) perform Tracks publicly in DJ sets, including paid bookings, club shows, festivals, podcasts, radio mixes, and recorded mixes shared on platforms like SoundCloud or Mixcloud (where the platform handles the relevant rights), with appropriate artist credit ("OPTIMUS GRYME").

Supporters receive: a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to listen for personal enjoyment.

• Re-upload or distribute Tracks to any platform that exposes them to the public before their official release date — including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Bandcamp, Beatport, Traxsource, BitTorrent, or any file-sharing service.
• Sell, sub-license, or otherwise commercially exploit the Tracks.
• Claim authorship of the Tracks or remove credit, watermarks, or metadata.
• Use the Tracks in advertising, broadcast media, film, TV, video games, or sync placements without a separate written license from us.
• Sample, remix, edit, or create derivative works without our prior written consent (we're usually happy to discuss — just ask).
• Share your account, share the raw download links, or post downloads to private group chats, file lockers, or Discord servers.

You agree not to:

• Scrape, mass-download, or use bots against the Portal.
• Bypass or attempt to bypass authentication, rate limits, or access controls.
• Attempt to identify or contact other users without their consent.
• Probe, penetration-test, or otherwise interfere with the Service's infrastructure.
• Use the Service in any way that breaks New Zealand law.

The Portal includes invite features that let you share preview links with friends. Use these features only for genuine introductions to people who would value the music. Don't use them to spam, mass-invite, or grow followings on other platforms.

You can delete your account at any time by emailing notifications@optimusgryme.nz.

We can suspend or terminate your access at any time if we believe you have breached these terms or if we choose to wind down the Service. On termination your license to the Tracks ends and you must stop using any downloaded files.

The Service is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. We don't promise uptime, error-free operation, or that any given Track will remain on the Portal indefinitely. We may add, change, or remove features at any time.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, OPTIMUS GRYME is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim is capped at NZD $50 or the amount you have paid us in the previous twelve months — whichever is greater.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any right you have under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 where it applies and cannot lawfully be excluded.

We may update these terms from time to time. If a change is material we will email you and update the "Effective" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any dispute that we can't resolve directly will be heard by the courts of New Zealand.
