Version 1.1.
Effective October 20, 2026 · Version 1.1
JOYFL is a music platform for independent artists, operated by Saints & Neighbors, a nonprofit organization.
JOYFL is not owned, operated, sponsored, or endorsed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Five documents govern JOYFL. Each covers something different:
| Document | Covers | When you agree to it |
|---|---|---|
| These Terms of Use | Using the JOYFL website | By using the site |
| Privacy Policy | What information we collect and why | — |
| Artist Account Terms | Having an artist account | When you create an account, and when we ask you to accept a new version |
| JOYFL Platform License | The rights JOYFL gets in a song you publish | When you choose it for a song you publish |
| Challenge Rules | Entering a JOYFL challenge | Each time you submit an entry |
Where a more specific document covers a situation, that document governs it. The Artist Account Terms cover artist accounts. Staff accounts are for Saints & Neighbors' team and aren't covered by the Artist Account Terms.
Nothing in these Terms of Use grants JOYFL any rights in your music. Those rights, if any, come only from the JOYFL Platform License, the Challenge Rules, an assignment you sign, or the narrow permissions in the Artist Account Terms (for your profile, and for songs you haven't chosen a license for yet). They apply only when you accept them.
Listening is open to everyone. You can browse the catalog and listen without an account, at any age, for free. There is no paywall and nothing to buy.
Accounts are for artists and our team. Creating an account currently requires confirming you are 18 or older. Accounts use a sign-in link sent to your email — there are no passwords on JOYFL.
You're responsible for your account. Keep your email secure, since anyone with access to it can sign in as you. Tell us at contact@joyfl.music if you think someone else has access.
Plainly: don't use JOYFL to harm people, break the law, or take things that aren't yours. Specifically, don't:
We can suspend or remove access for anyone who does these things. Where it's reasonable to do so, we'll tell you why.
Artists own their music. Music on JOYFL belongs to the artists who made it, except for songs JOYFL owns under a signed assignment, such as a winning challenge song. These Terms of Use don't change that, and nothing here gives you permission to copy, download, redistribute, remix, or commercially use anything you find on JOYFL.
You may listen and share links. Share links to songs and profiles freely — that's what they're for. Share links don't expire.
JOYFL's own marks. The JOYFL name, logo, and site design belong to Saints & Neighbors and aren't licensed to you by these terms.
Content changes and comes down. Songs and profiles can be hidden, updated, or removed — by the artist, or by us. If that happens, a link you saved still works: it leads to a friendly page with a way to find other music, not an error.
If you believe something on JOYFL infringes your copyright, tell us and we will review it and remove infringing material. Send a notice to contact@joyfl.music with: your contact information; identification of the work you say is infringed; where the material is on JOYFL; a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorized; a statement that your notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the copyright owner; and your signature.
If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice to the same address.
We end the accounts of repeat infringers.
You do not need an account to ask us to review or remove something. Anyone can use the removal request form on an artist's profile, or email contact@joyfl.music.
We work hard to keep JOYFL accurate, available, and safe, but we can't promise it will always be available, error-free, or uninterrupted, and we don't guarantee that any particular song, artist, or feature will remain on JOYFL.
JOYFL is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We don't control what artists upload. Artists are responsible for their own music, stories, and profiles. We review and moderate, but a song appearing on JOYFL is not a guarantee by us about its origins, its rights, or its content.
To the fullest extent the law allows, Saints & Neighbors and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, and contractors are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of JOYFL.
Our total liability for any claim relating to JOYFL will not exceed $0.
Some places don't allow these limits, so some of this may not apply to you.
If someone brings a claim against us because of something you uploaded, submitted, or did on JOYFL — for example, a copyright claim about a song you submitted without the rights to it — you agree to cover our reasonable costs of defending it.
Before anything formal, please email contact@joyfl.music. Most things can be sorted out directly and we would rather do that.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Utah, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
We may update these Terms. When we do, we'll change the version and effective date at the top and post a notice on JOYFL. We keep a record of which version was in effect when. If a change is material, we'll make that clear rather than quietly swapping the text.
Continuing to use JOYFL after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
