Terms & Conditions

This site is operated by Alephonics by Dan Berry, based in Broward County, Florida, USA. By using the site you're agreeing to what follows. If you don't agree with it, please don't use the site.

The Alephonic Mapping Method™ — the system, its rules, its name, and the software that applies it — is Dan Berry's work and remains his property. The recordings, compositions, writing, artwork and design on this site are his too, or used with permission.

You're welcome to listen, share links, quote us with credit, and play what the demo gives you for yourself, at home, in your own study, with your family. That's what it's for.

What you may not do without written permission: republish or resell the audio, use it in a commercial or public performance, use it in a video, film, advertisement or app, feed the site's output into a machine-learning system or training set, or reproduce the mapping rules as your own system or product.

The Try It page applies the method to a word or verse you choose and plays the result. The output is generated for you to hear; the underlying method stays ours. Personal, non-commercial listening is yours without asking.

The Hebrew text on the site comes from Sefaria and carries its own licensing, which belongs to Sefaria and the rights holders of each text, not to us.

A commission is agreed in writing before any work starts — scope, timeline, fee. Unless that written agreement says otherwise, Dan retains copyright in the composition and the recording, and you receive a personal-use licence: listen to it, play it in your home, share it with family and friends at a private occasion.

Anything beyond that — commercial use, public performance, broadcast, use in a film or product, or resale — needs a separate written licence, which we're glad to discuss.

Commission fees are for the work of making the piece. Once work has begun they are non-refundable, though if something goes wrong on our end we will always talk it through with you.

Membership is a recurring monthly subscription at the price shown when you join, billed automatically each month until you cancel. Payments are handled by Stripe and/or Systeme.io.

You can cancel any time. Cancelling stops future billing and you keep access until the end of the month you've already paid for. We don't refund partial months or unused time, and there's no minimum term keeping you in.

Member material is for members. Please don't redistribute it, post it publicly, or share your login. If a membership is being shared or the material republished, we may end it.

Prices can change, but never mid-month and never without telling you first by email. You'll always have the chance to cancel before a new price applies.

If you give us your email address we'll use it to send you what you signed up for. Every email has a working unsubscribe link, and using it costs you nothing else — you keep access to everything on the site.

Don't try to break in, scrape the site at scale, hammer the demo with automated requests, resell access to it, or use it to harass anyone. Don't submit anything unlawful or hateful through the forms. We may cut off access if any of that happens.

This is music made from Hebrew letters. It is not rabbinic instruction, halachic guidance, therapy, or medical or mental-health treatment, and nothing here should be taken as any of those.

The site is provided as it is. We work hard to keep it accurate and available, but we can't guarantee it will never be down, never have a bug, or always suit your purpose. To the fullest extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and any liability we do have is limited to what you've paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Some pages embed or link to other services — YouTube, Sefaria, our payment processors. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content or their terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, and any dispute belongs in the state or federal courts of Broward County, Florida. Before it ever gets there, please write to us — almost everything can be sorted out in an email.

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.
