Terms of Service

Effective date: April 6, 2026

Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of OSTDB (the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

These terms are written clearly to ensure you understand your rights and the rules of using our platform. If you have any questions, you can contact us at [email protected].

Using the Service

OSTDB is provided as an open, read-only database. We currently do not require or support user accounts. You may browse and search game soundtracks freely.

  • Do not attempt to disrupt, reverse engineer, or abuse the Service.
  • Do not scrape the Service in a way that harms performance or violates laws.

Submissions

We accept soundtrack submissions through a third-party form provider (Tally.so). By submitting data to OSTDB, you represent that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

We reserve the right to review, approve, reject, or modify any submitted information at our sole discretion. Submitted metadata is displayed as part of the public database.

Third-Party Services

Our core functionality relies on external services and APIs, primarily Spotify and IGDB (Internet Game Database). Your use of audio previews and external links is subject to Spotify's user terms.

We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of third-party platforms.

Intellectual Property

OSTDB claims no ownership over the game metadata, music, soundtrack names, or related cover arts. All trademarks, logos, and copyrights belong to their respective owners.

The OSTDB website codebase, specific design assets (like our logo), and curated dataset structure are the property of the operator.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
