Terms of use

Last updated: 10 November 2026.

These terms govern access to Linerbase. By using the site, you agree to use it lawfully and in a way that does not harm the service, its visitors, or the people and organisations described in the catalogue.

Catalogue purpose

Linerbase is an independent research and discovery catalogue. Records combine public structured datasets with limited editorial checks against first-party sources. A listing does not establish endorsement, affiliation, current activity, ownership, or willingness to accept unsolicited material. Release and artist coverage may be incomplete.

Reasonable use

You may browse, search, link to, and quote limited factual information for ordinary research, journalism, or personal discovery. You must not overload the service, bypass access controls or rate limits, probe for vulnerabilities, interfere with operation, or use automated access that is not expressly authorised by Linerbase.

You must not bulk harvest, mirror, republish, resell, or redistribute the catalogue or a substantial part of it. Contact details and submission routes must not be collected into mailing lists, used for spam or mass dispatch, or represented as verified beyond the displayed source and review date. A robots directive is an additional technical instruction; silence in robots.txt is not permission for bulk extraction.

Sources, rights, and marks

Underlying facts can have their own legal status, and source datasets retain their stated licences. Linerbase does not claim ownership of third-party names, logos, recordings, or trademarks. The site's original presentation, editorial selection, explanatory text, and software remain protected to the extent provided by law. Source links do not imply that a source sponsors Linerbase.

Accuracy and demo routes

Information is provided for discovery and may be incomplete, delayed, or wrong. Before sending music, reconfirm the current rules on the linked official source. Do not treat a historic address or a Linerbase listing as permission to contact an individual. You are responsible for complying with applicable law and the recipient's terms.

Corrections and removal requests

For a factual correction, contact hello@linerbase.com with the Linerbase URL and a supporting primary source. Rights holders and people responsible for a listed organisation may also request review or removal of a contact route. Requests are assessed against identity and source evidence; identical names alone are not enough to merge or alter records.

No warranty

The service is provided as available, without a promise that every record, link, route, or feature will remain available or error-free. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Linerbase is not responsible for losses arising from reliance on catalogue data or from third-party sites.

Changes

These terms may be updated when the service or its data practices change. The date above identifies the current version. Continued use after an update is subject to the revised terms.
