05 Limitations of the Service & Disclaimer

Music Virgin is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, we disclaim all warranties including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

• BPM detection accuracy depends on the characteristics of the audio track. Freely-timed, complex or tempo-variable music may produce approximate results
• Genre classification and key detection are heuristic estimates and should not be relied upon as definitive or professional-grade analysis
• Vocal activity detection is an approximation based on frequency energy analysis and may misidentify lead instruments as vocals
• The service requires a modern web browser with Web Audio API support. We do not guarantee compatibility with all browsers or devices
• We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free or free from viruses or other harmful components

To the fullest extent permitted by English law, Music Virgin shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this service.
