House rules
Terms of Service
Effective date: October 6, 2026
These terms are the deal between you and Take A Mic (“Take A Mic,” “we,” “us”), operated by Alex Harrison in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. By using takeamic.com as a singer, DJ, or venue, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the service.
1. What Take A Mic is
Take A Mic is a karaoke queue web app for bars and venues. Singers join a room with a 4-character code, add their name and a song, and get in line. DJs run the line from their own screen, and a TV screen can show who’s up next and play karaoke videos. Singers don’t need an account.
2. DJ and bar accounts
- DJ and bar accounts are approved by us. We may approve, decline, suspend, or close an account at our discretion, for example for misuse or non-payment.
- You sign in with a one-time email link. Keep access to your email secure. You’re responsible for activity in your account and your rooms.
- Give us accurate contact and billing information and keep it up to date.
3. Pricing and billing
- A venue subscription is $29 per month. There is also an optional $49 one-time startup kit.
- Payments are billed through Stripe. Subscriptions renew automatically each month until canceled. Prices don’t include any taxes that may apply.
- Cancel anytime through the billing portal (“Manage billing” after you sign in). Canceling stops future renewal charges; the billing portal shows when your current period ends. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments are non-refundable.
- We may change prices with at least 30 days’ notice by email to account holders. New prices apply from your next billing period after the notice.
4. Music licensing and video sources: venues are responsible
Take A Mic is queue software. It doesn’t provide music licenses. Each venue is responsible for obtaining and maintaining its own public performance licenses for music performed or played at its location, such as from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR, or any other organization that applies where the venue operates.
Each venue and DJ is also responsible for complying with the terms of any music or video source they play, including the YouTube Terms of Service and the terms of any karaoke track provider.
5. YouTube API Services
Take A Mic uses YouTube API Services to find and play karaoke videos. By using Take A Mic, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. The Google Privacy Policy also applies. You can manage or revoke app access to a Google account on Google’s security settings page. Videos are owned by their creators and served by YouTube; we don’t control what’s available, and a video may disappear or stop playing at any time. Stored YouTube data is refreshed or deleted within 30 days, as described in our Privacy Policy.
6. Acceptable use
Keep it fun and keep it legal. Don’t:
- Post names, dedications, or notes that are hateful, harassing, threatening, sexually explicit, or that impersonate someone or share someone else’s private information. They may show up on a screen in a public bar.
- Spam a room’s line, flood requests, or try to disrupt other singers or the DJ.
- Try to break into accounts or rooms you don’t run, get around rate limits or access controls, scrape the service, or overload it.
- Use Take A Mic to infringe anyone’s copyright or other rights, or to break the law.
- Resell or rebrand the service without our written permission.
DJs can remove singers or entries from their rooms. We can remove content and suspend or close access for anyone who breaks these rules.
7. Your content
You keep whatever rights you have in the names, dedications, and notes you submit. You give us permission to store and display them to run the service, such as showing them on the room’s line, the DJ screen, and the venue TV.
8. No warranty
Take A Mic is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don’t promise the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular song or video will be found or will play.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Take A Mic and its operator won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $50.
Some places don’t allow certain warranty exclusions or liability limits, so some of the above may not apply to you.
10. Indemnity
Venues and DJs agree to cover Take A Mic for claims arising from their events, their music licensing, the content they play, or their breach of these terms.
11. Ending service
You can stop using Take A Mic anytime. Venues can cancel through the billing portal and ask us to close their account. We may suspend or end access if these terms are broken or if we discontinue the service. If we discontinue the service, we’ll give account holders reasonable notice.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, and you and we consent to those courts’ jurisdiction.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll post the new version here and change the effective date. If a change is significant, we’ll make reasonable efforts to email DJ and bar account holders before it takes effect. If you keep using Take A Mic after changes take effect, you accept the updated terms.
