1.Purpose

1.1Setlyst respects the rights of authors, composers, arrangers, publishers and other rights holders. This Policy explains the responsibilities of those who use the platform and the notice, takedown and counter-notice procedures.

2.Legal protection

2.1Lyrics, musical compositions, arrangements and transcriptions are intellectual works protected by Brazilian Law 9,610/1998 (Copyright Law). Reproducing, distributing and communicating these works to the public generally require the prior and express authorisation of the rights holders.

2.2Setlyst does not supply or license lyrics, chords or musical works. We are not a licensing intermediary and do not grant authorisation for public performance, which is governed by its own rules.

3.Content added by users

3.1The whole Setlyst repertoire is added by users themselves. Whoever adds a work is solely responsible for having the right to use it or for using it in a way the law allows.

3.2Keeping lyrics and chords in your account for study, rehearsal and support of your own performance is what the platform was made for. That private use does not authorise public distribution of the work.

3.3Your own works, works in the public domain and works under a licence that allows sharing may be shared freely, within the limits of that licence.

4.Public sharing

4.1Public links make content accessible to anyone. Before creating a public link with third-party lyrics or chords, make sure you are authorised to do so. An alternative is to share only the running order, without lyrics.

4.2Within a band, content is visible only to its members, according to the permissions set.

5.Infringement notice

5.1A rights holder, or their representative, can notify Setlyst at support@setlyst.app with the subject “Copyright”. So that we can locate the content unambiguously and assess the request, the notice must include:

  1. the full name or company name, CPF or CNPJ (or equivalent tax ID), e-mail address and phone number of the notifying party;
  2. if acting as a representative, a document proving the power to represent;
  3. identification of the protected work and of the ownership of the rights;
  4. the address (URL) of the public link or, where there is none, precise identification of the content (title, username or band);
  5. a description of how the content infringes the rights;
  6. a statement that the use has not been authorised by the rights holder, their representative or the law;
  7. a statement, under penalty of law, that the information is true and that the notifying party is the rights holder or is authorised to act on their behalf;
  8. a physical or electronic signature.

5.2Incomplete notices may be returned with a request for the missing information.

6.Review and takedown

6.1Once a complete and well-founded notice is received, Setlyst may block public sharing of the content, make the content unavailable or remove it, within a reasonable time.

6.2Whoever added the content is told about the measure and its reasons, under article 20 of the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet, and receives the information needed to submit a counter-notice. The notifying party's contact details may be shared with the user when needed for the defence of rights.

7.Civil Rights Framework for the Internet

7.1Under article 19 of Law 12,965/2014, an application provider may only be held civilly liable for third-party content if, after a specific court order, it fails to take steps to make that content unavailable. Even so, Setlyst reviews well-founded out-of-court notices and acts voluntarily when it identifies a clear infringement.

7.2Under article 21 of the same law, images or materials containing nudity or private sexual acts disclosed without the participants' authorisation are removed after notice from the affected person or their representative, regardless of a court order. The notice must allow the specific identification of the material and prove the standing of whoever submits it.

8.Counter-notice

8.1If you believe the content was removed by mistake or that you have the right to use it, you can send a counter-notice to support@setlyst.app within 30 days, including:

  1. your full name, username and e-mail address;
  2. identification of the removed content;
  3. the reasons why the use is legitimate (your own work, public domain, licence or the rights holder's authorisation), with documents where available;
  4. a statement, under penalty of law, that the information is true.

8.2If the counter-notice is well-founded, Setlyst may restore the content and will inform the notifying party, who may go to court. Any court order will be complied with.

9.Repeat infringers

9.1Accounts with repeated upheld notices may have public sharing disabled, be suspended or be closed, under the Terms of Use.

10.Improper notices

10.1False notices, notices made in bad faith or notices intended to harm others may give rise to civil and criminal liability for whoever submits them.
