Terms of Service
Last updated: October 14, 2026
Agreement to terms
By accessing or using Playlist Time Machine ("Service"), operated by abeba co LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Description of the service
Playlist Time Machine is a free web application that builds a playlist of number one hits, the popular songs of the time, from the years around a high school graduation year (five years before through five years after). You can save that playlist to Apple Music, download a list of the artist, song, and year, or make a free collage of the album covers. Collages are free to download and are not sold as prints.
Use of the service
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:
- Use the Service in any way that violates any applicable law or regulation.
- Attempt to interfere with or disrupt the Service or its servers.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service.
- Use any automated means to access the Service without our permission.
- Impersonate any person or entity.
Apple Music
If you save a playlist to Apple Music, you acknowledge that:
- Playing the full songs requires an Apple Music subscription. A 30-second preview does not.
- You authorize us to create a playlist in your Apple Music library on your behalf.
- Your use of Apple Music is also governed by Apple's terms.
- We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc.
- Song availability may vary by region and by Apple Music's licensing.
Intellectual property
The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by abeba co LLC and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Lists of number one hits are used for informational purposes. Song titles, artist names, recordings, and album artwork belong to their respective owners. Album artwork in a collage is shown from Apple for that picture only.
Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT EVERY SONG WILL BE AVAILABLE ON APPLE MUSIC OR THAT A SAVED PLAYLIST WILL INCLUDE EVERY TRACK.
Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ABEBA CO LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless abeba co LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Service or your violation of these Terms.
Changes to these terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date will change when we do. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the new Terms.
Termination
We may suspend or end access to the Service, without prior notice, for any reason, including a breach of these Terms. When access ends, your right to use the Service ends with it.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
