Just found the TOS while browsing. The link under "sign up" (leading to https://flat.io/legal https://flat.io/legal) was the one I referred to as broken. (...) you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free and perpetual licence to use, copy, reproduce, distribute, adapt, re-format, modify, publish, translate, licence, sub-licence, and exploit the User Content anywhere and in any form for the purposes of providing our Service (...) Yeah, I'm sticking to Lilypond, thanks.

  @gnud Thanks for the link, we will fix this shortly. This part of the ToS applies to the public & shared content that can be accessible by everyone on the internet ;-)

    No, it specifically applies to 'music, sounds, text or information that you make available or create ("User Content")'. I understand that's not how you use it just now. But that's what it says.

      We will update them in next few days / weeks to be more precise about private and non-shared content. This actually more apply to public content (e.g. you can see on "popular" pages).
