Terms of Service

Who Played (whoplayed.me) is operated by Who Played, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Delaware file number 10790770), HaHaskala Boulevard 17 B, Tel Aviv 6789037, Israel. Email: hello@whoplayed.me. Until 1 October 2026 it was operated by Or Siak personally; these terms now continue with the company. By creating an account you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you use Who Played for a label or company, you confirm you may agree on its behalf.

Who Played makes an acoustic fingerprint of the tracks you register, keeps a log of who you sent them to, and looks for those tracks in public posts on social platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. When it finds one, it shows you a link to the public post. Finding plays is automatic and is described further in section 6.

Uploading a track transfers no ownership, release, publishing or revenue rights to us. You give us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, back up and fingerprint the track, to compare it with public posts, and to test and improve the accuracy of our recognition with it, only to run the service for you. We never share, sell or license your music to anyone; the companies that host the service for us (listed in the Privacy Policy) store it on our behalf only. The licence ends when you delete the track or your account; copies in our backups roll off within 14 days.

Watching is only switched on per track, with your signature on a separate, revocable agreement. Revoke it and watching stops and the fingerprint is deleted.

You confirm that for every track you register you own or control the rights in the recording, or are authorised by those who do (for a remix, that you made the recording and understand the underlying work belongs to its rights holders), that any licensed samples, loops or vocals in it are used within their licence and are not claimed as exclusively yours, and that the people you log as having received a track really did. We rely on these confirmations and do not independently check rights. You are responsible for any permission the original rights holders require.

Results and share pictures are for your own records, for evidence, and for telling people about a play you have confirmed. The posts and videos we link to belong to the people who posted them. You will not republish, sell or redistribute someone else’s video without their permission, and you will not use Who Played to harass, threaten, shame or spam anyone, including the DJs and venues in your results. Share a picture of a play only after you have listened to it and are satisfied it is right. Do not copy, scrape or resell the service or its results.

A match is an automatic finding, not a legal conclusion. It can be wrong, and plays can be missed: we do not promise that every play will be found, that every platform or post type is covered, or that the service will always be available. Listen before you rely on a match. Payments, deals and anything else you do based on results are your decision and your responsibility.

Who Played is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Instagram, Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Google, SoundCloud or any other platform; their names are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say where a post was found. We do not control what is posted on those platforms or whether it stays available, and what we can find depends on what they make public.

Instagram is a trademark of Meta Platforms, Inc. TikTok is a trademark of ByteDance Ltd. Their logos appear on Who Played only to show which platforms we watch. Who Played is not affiliated with or endorsed by them, or by YouTube (a trademark of Google LLC).

If you believe something registered on Who Played infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent: Who Played, Inc., Copyright Agent, HaHaskala Boulevard 17 B, Tel Aviv 6789037, Israel, hello@whoplayed.me, or use the form on the For DJs, artists and venues page. Please include the work you own, what on Who Played you believe infringes it, your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by the rights owner, its agent or the law, and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorised to act for them, with your physical or electronic signature. We may suspend material while we review a complaint and remove it if the complaint holds, and we tell the producer who registered it.

Counter-notice: if a track of yours was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same agent with your name, address, phone number and signature, the track that was removed, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district where you live (or, if you live outside the United States, any district in which Who Played may be found) and to accept legal papers from the person who complained. We send it to them, and may restore the track after 10 to 14 business days unless they tell us they have gone to court.

We close the accounts of people who repeatedly register material that is not theirs.

You will defend, indemnify and hold Who Played and its operator harmless against any third-party claim, loss or cost arising from content you register, from any confirmation you gave being inaccurate, or from how you use results or share pictures. If a rights conflict arises we may decline or remove a registration without notice.

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, Who Played and its operator are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, or for lost profits, deals or data, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of the fees you paid us in the 12 months before it arose and USD 100. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

You must be 16 or older to use Who Played, and 18 or older, or have a parent’s or guardian’s consent, to buy a paid plan. You may not use Who Played if you are named on a United States, EU, UK or Israeli sanctions list, or if the law otherwise forbids us from serving you.

Keep your password to yourself and tell us if you think someone else has it. Use the service only for tracks you own or are authorised to protect, do not try to reach other accounts or our systems, and do not overload or probe the service. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.

Plans and payment terms, version 2026-10-25.

Plans and prices. The Free plan costs nothing. Paid plans and their prices are listed on the pricing page and shown again before you pay, and nothing is ever charged without your explicit purchase. Prices are in US dollars; customers billed in Israel pay 18% VAT on top. Payment is by card through Stripe. Team: the price and limits are set in a written quote; these terms apply to it, and if the quote and these terms disagree, the quote wins.

Renewing and cancelling. Plans renew automatically at the end of each month or year until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from Manage billing on the Plans page, on the Cancel a purchase page, by email to hello@whoplayed.me or by phone on +972 52 856 1400, and you keep the plan until the end of the period already paid. Until that period ends we keep watching for your tracks and sending you plays as usual. Once it ends, your account moves to the Free plan: we still tell you when a play is found, but no longer show who played it or where, and your tracks, play history and account data stay with us until you delete them, which you can do at any time from your Account page. Deleting your account ends any paid plan at once (we cancel the subscription first), but any refund you are entitled to under these terms or the law still applies: ask us by email.

Founding member prices. The first 100 accounts to get a founding place, by founding invite or by buying Starter while founding places are left (when our pricing page offers it), can have Starter for $12 a month or $120 a year. We won’t raise a founding price while it lasts. It lasts for as long as that Starter plan stays active, monthly or yearly, and ends, and is not offered again, when you cancel, when a renewal payment finally fails and the plan ends, when you get a refund, or when you move to another plan.

Changing plan. Switching to a higher plan charges the difference for the rest of the current period at once; switching to a lower plan leaves the difference as credit toward your next payments, which is not paid out in cash; switching between monthly and yearly starts the new period on the day you switch. If you move to a smaller plan and have more tracks than it covers, we keep watching the tracks you protected and sent to DJs first, then the newest, up to its limit, and retire the rest; their plays stay in your account, and you can change which tracks are watched. A track’s place on your plan frees up 30 days after it was added, even if you retire or delete it sooner (removed within a day of adding, before any play is found, it frees at once). You can always delete a track.

Refunds. Every plan gets a full refund if you ask within 14 days of your first payment and we have not yet shown you a play. Yearly plans also get a full refund if you ask within 14 days after a yearly renewal and we have shown you no play since that renewal. A refund is given once per customer (by email address or card): after one refund, later payments, yearly renewals included, are not refundable under this rule. “A play shown” means a play we showed you as found in your account, on any plan (on Free, that a play was found), except one you told us is not your track; a find still waiting for our own check, which you cannot see, does not count. Once we have shown you a play, the service has been delivered and that payment is not refundable; you agree to this, and that the service starts straight away, when you pay. Monthly renewals and plan switches are not refunded, and monthly plans are not refunded for part of a month. After a refund the plan is cancelled, the account returns to the Free plan, and plays found while you paid show without the DJ and the post. Ask for a refund by email to hello@whoplayed.me; the refund goes back to your card.

If the law where you live gives you a stronger right to cancel (for example in the EU, UK or Israel), you keep it. If you buy as a business (for a company, with a tax ID, or on the Team plan), the consumer right to cancel does not apply, where the law allows. If we charged you by mistake, or the service was down for a long time, we put it right.

We give at least 14 days’ notice before changing the price of a plan you are on. Features marked “coming soon” are not part of a plan until they are live. You can revoke any track at any time and delete your account from the Account page; registrations are removed promptly when protection ends.

The DJ names and accounts you log are information about other people. Log only what actually happened (you sent them the track) and nothing more. How we handle that information is in the Privacy Policy.

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we email account holders at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continuing to use Who Played after that means you accept the new terms; if you do not, you can close your account.

Tell us first. If something goes wrong, write to hello@whoplayed.me and give us 30 days to put it right before starting a legal claim. This does not apply to urgent court orders and takes away no right the law gives you.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States. If you use Who Played as a consumer, you keep the protection of the laws of the place where you live and can bring a claim in the courts there. If you use Who Played for a business, the courts of Delaware or of Tel Aviv, Israel, decide any dispute.

We may stop offering Who Played, or a plan, if we have to. We tell you by email before we do, and refund the unused part of any time you paid for in advance, in proportion to the time left.

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them freely without owing you anything. This gives us no rights in your music.

Notices: we send notices to the email address on your account, so keep it up to date; send yours to hello@whoplayed.me or to our postal address. Transfer: we may transfer these terms to a company that takes over Who Played or its business (for example if it is sold or merged), and your rights under them stay the same; you may not transfer your account without our agreement. Events outside our control: we are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as outages of the platforms we look at, of our providers or of the internet, war, strikes or natural disasters; a long outage is still put right as section 12 says. If one part fails: if a court finds part of these terms invalid, the rest still applies. The whole agreement: these terms, the Privacy Policy, the protection agreement you sign for each track, and any written Team quote are the whole agreement between you and us about Who Played.

Who Played, Inc., HaHaskala Boulevard 17 B, Tel Aviv 6789037, Israel. Email hello@whoplayed.me, phone +972 52 856 1400.
