Terms of Use

Effective Date: [01SEP2025]

Welcome to Garage Bard. By accessing or using this website, you agree to the following Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site (or challenge the Bard, for he is elusive).

1. General Use

  • The Garage Bard site is designed for entertainment purposes only.

  • By using this site, you confirm you are at least 18 years of age, or that you have parental/guardian permission.

  • You understand that the Bard remains unseen, hooded, and entirely mysterious.

2. Song Purchases

  • Songs displayed on the site are available for purchase at the listed price (generally $3.19 per download).

  • Each song purchase grants you a personal, non-commercial license to download and enjoy the song.

  • Songs are provided as-is — no refunds, returns, or exchanges (your stubbed toe cannot be un-stubbed).

  • Songs may not be redistributed, resold, uploaded to streaming services, or claimed as your own work.

  • The Garage Bard retains full creator rights to use, display, or perform the songs for promotional purposes.

3. Submissions

  • By submitting a life event or story prompt, you grant Garage Bard the right to create, modify, and sell a song based on it.

  • Submissions do not guarantee selection. The Bard chooses at random, at whim, or by fate (no complaints, please).

  • By submitting, you represent that your prompt does not violate the rights of others (no copyrighted lyrics, brand slogans, or secret government codes).

4. Intellectual Property

  • All songs, lyrics, audio recordings, and site content are owned by Garage Bard.

  • Your purchase grants listening rights only. Ownership of creative rights remains with Garage Bard.

  • The Garage Bard name, logo, and imagery are the exclusive property of Garage Bard.

5. Liability Disclaimer

  • Songs are for humor only and should not be taken as factual statements, medical advice, or life coaching.

  • Garage Bard is not responsible for any side effects of listening, including but not limited to: uncontrollable laughter, awkward public sing-alongs, or emotional closure over stubbed toes.

6. Modifications

  • Garage Bard reserves the right to update or change these Terms of Use at any time. Updates will be posted on this page.

  • Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept those changes.

7. Contact

For questions, concerns, or legal correspondence (though the Bard prefers riddles), please use the contact form on this site.
