Terms of Service

By creating an account, starting a drill, subscribing to Pro or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a school, studio or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms, and "you" includes that organisation.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and the age of majority where you live, you may only use the Service with the knowledge and consent of a parent or legal guardian, and that adult is responsible for any charges made through your account.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have, we will delete the account and its data. Parents and guardians can contact us at support@sightreadingtraining.com with any concerns.

You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable sanctions or export-control laws.

Accounts are created through our authentication provider using a Google, Apple or Facebook sign-in, or an emailed magic link. You are responsible for keeping access to that email address and those provider accounts secure, and for all activity that happens under your account.

Accounts are for individuals. Please do not share credentials or magic links. Tell us promptly at support@sightreadingtraining.com if you believe someone else has accessed your account.

You may delete your account at any time. Deleting your account removes your saved drills, practice history, streaks and experience points; see the Privacy Policy for retention details.

The Service includes a permanent free tier. It is not a trial and it does not expire. The free tier currently allows up to 2 saved drills, drills in C Major and A minor only, a maximum of 8 bars per drill, and 7 days of practice history.

Pro removes those limits as described on our pricing page. We may adjust the exact limits of the free tier over time; if we reduce them in a way that materially affects you, we will give notice on the Service or by email.

Pro is a paid subscription available on a monthly or yearly plan. Payments are processed by Stripe through Stripe Checkout. We do not see, handle or store your full card details.

Auto-renewal. Pro subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, using the payment method on file, until you cancel. There is no free trial: billing starts immediately when you subscribe.

Cancellation. You can cancel at any time from the Stripe Billing Portal, which you can open from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period you have already paid for — you keep Pro features until then, and you are not charged again.

Refunds. If you are unhappy with a charge, email support@sightreadingtraining.com within 14 days of that charge and we will refund it. After 14 days, refunds are at our discretion, except where local consumer law gives you a stronger right.

Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, we may retry it and may downgrade your account to the free tier until payment succeeds. Prices are in US dollars and exclude any taxes or bank fees that may apply to you.

We may change subscription prices. If we do, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email or in the app before the new price applies to your subscription, and the change will only take effect at your next renewal. If you do not want to pay the new price, you can cancel before that renewal.

Promotional or discounted prices apply only for the period stated, after which the standard price applies.

You agree not to:

• break the law, infringe anyone's rights, or use the Service to harass or harm others;
• share, resell, sublicense or publicly redistribute access to Pro features, or use one account for a whole class or studio in place of separate accounts;
• scrape, crawl, or bulk-download the Service, or use automated means to generate practice sessions, scores, streaks or achievements you did not actually play;
• reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract source code except as permitted by law;
• probe, overload or interfere with the Service or its infrastructure, bypass rate limits or entitlement checks, or attempt to access other users' data;
• upload or transmit malware, or misrepresent your identity or affiliation with us.

Practice statistics, streaks, experience points and achievements are meant to reflect real practice. We may reset or remove records that appear to be fabricated.

The Service — including its software, notation rendering, drill generation and grading logic, design, text, graphics, logos and the SightReadingTraining name — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for your own music practice or teaching, subject to these Terms.

That licence does not include any right to copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease any part of the Service, or to remove proprietary notices. Third-party open-source components remain subject to their own licences.

"Your Content" means the material you create in the Service: saved drill configurations (key signatures, clef note ranges, drill length, input method), the results of your practice sessions, and your profile details. You own Your Content. We do not claim ownership of it.

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, transmit and display Your Content solely to operate, secure, support and improve the Service for you — for example rendering your drills, calculating your accuracy statistics and weak-note analysis, and syncing your streak across devices. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for backups that expire on our normal schedule.

We may compute aggregated, de-identified statistics (for example, which notes learners find hardest overall) and use them to improve the Service. Aggregated data never identifies you.

If you send us feedback, feature requests or bug reports, you allow us to use them without obligation or compensation to you.

The Service depends on third parties: Supabase for our database and authentication, Stripe for payments and subscription management, Vercel for hosting and privacy-friendly analytics, and Google, Apple and Facebook for optional social sign-in. Your use of those services through us may also be subject to their own terms.

The Service also uses your browser's Web Audio, Web MIDI and microphone capabilities. Availability and accuracy of those browser features are outside our control, and we are not responsible for third-party outages or changes. See our Privacy Policy for what data each processor receives.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement and any warranty arising from course of dealing.

In particular, we do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that microphone pitch detection or MIDI input will be accurate in your environment or on your hardware, that grading will always match a human teacher's judgement, or that using the Service will produce any particular improvement in your sight-reading. The Service is a practice tool, not music tuition, and it is not a substitute for a qualified teacher.

We may modify, suspend or discontinue features at any time. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SightReadingTraining and its officers, employees and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost practice history, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Service, whether based in contract, tort, warranty or any other legal theory, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US$50.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, such as liability for fraud, gross negligence, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless SightReadingTraining and its officers, employees and suppliers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or connected with your use of the Service, Your Content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right. We may take control of the defence of any such claim at your expense, and you will not settle it in a way that binds us without our written consent.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, if your payments fail repeatedly, or if we reasonably believe your use puts the Service or other users at risk.

If we terminate your account without cause while you have a paid subscription, we will refund the unused portion of your current billing period. On termination, your licence to use the Service ends immediately; sections covering intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnity and governing law survive.

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above, and for material changes we will give reasonable advance notice in the app or by email. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not, please stop using the Service and cancel any subscription.

These Terms and any dispute arising from them or from your use of the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and each waive any objection to venue there. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer laws in your country of residence.

Before filing a claim, please email us — most issues can be sorted out quickly. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us about the Service. You may not assign them without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
