Terms of Use

The summary

• The app is a tool for studying and for playing. The essentials are free and work with no account.
• The paid plan is a subscription sold by your phone’s store. The store charges you, not us.
• What you write in the app is yours. We only store it and sync it.
• You can delete your account whenever you like, by yourself, inside the app.

Who provides the service

Chord & Fret is published by GROWTHCODE TECNOLOGIA DA INFORMACAO LTDA, CNPJ 59.432.449/0001-71, [TO BE DEFINED: address of the publisher]. By installing or using the app, you agree to these Terms.

What the app is — and what it is not

It is a tool for studying and performing music: chord and scale search, an interactive fretboard, a tuner, a metronome, a chord-sheet notebook and setlists.

It is not a streaming service, it does not distribute recordings and it does not offer a catalogue of anyone else’s lyrics. The content of your notebook is written by you.

Account

Using the app does not require an account. Creating one does two things: syncs between your devices and keeps your subscription working.

You sign in with Google or Apple only; there is no signup with a password of ours. Keeping that sign-in account safe is up to you.

Age

To create an account and subscribe: [TO BE DEFINED: minimum age to create an account and subscribe, and the rule for minors with a guardian’s assistance].

Using the app without an account carries no age restriction.

What you create is yours

Chord sheets, lyrics, notes, setlists and folders you write or paste stay yours. You allow us only to store them, sync them between your devices and show them back to you — nothing beyond that. We do not use your content for advertising, and we do not use it to train anything.

Song lyrics have an owner. If you paste someone else’s lyrics or chord sheet into the app, that use is your responsibility. The app does not publish that content: it stays in your account, visible only to you.

If we receive a substantiated copyright complaint, we may remove the content named in it and tell you.

The free plan

The free part works offline and needs no account. Some features have usage limits, and those limits are counted inside the device itself.

The subscription

The paid plan is sold in three shapes:

• Monthly — $7.99 per month, renewing automatically.
• Annual — $59.99 per year, renewing automatically, with a 14-day free trial on your first subscription.
• Lifetime — $119.99, a one-off purchase, no renewal.

Those are the list prices for your market. The store applies taxes and currency conversion, and the price that counts is the one it shows you at the moment of purchase.

The App Store or Google Play sells and charges. The subscription renews on its own until you cancel, and you cancel in the store, in your Apple or Google account settings.

• If you cancel, you keep the paid plan until the end of the period you already paid for.
• If a payment fails there is a grace period during which you keep the paid plan. After it, paid access is suspended until the charge goes through.
• If the purchase is refunded or charged back, paid access is revoked.
• The lifetime purchase is one-off and does not renew.

Paid access works offline for a limited time: your device holds a proof valid for up to 30 days (3 days when there is a sign of risk). If the device goes too long without connecting, the app falls back to the free plan until it reconnects — and nothing you created is lost.

We receive no payment data at all. What we keep about the subscription →

Refunds

A refund is requested in the store where you bought, under that store’s rules. [TO BE DEFINED: our own refund policy, if any, beyond the store’s].

Nothing in these Terms removes the mandatory consumer rights the law where you live gives you.

Complimentary access

We may grant paid access without charge in specific cases — thanks to someone who helped the project, support, testing. It is a courtesy: it does not become an acquired right and may be withdrawn at any time, with no refund attached.

How many devices

An account is meant for one person’s devices. Today the limit is soft: past 5 devices the app tells you, and you can disconnect the ones you no longer use under Settings → Account → “My devices”. We do not block you over it.

Acceptable use

By using the app, you agree not to: [TO BE DEFINED: definition of abusive use — account sharing, automation, resale].

• try to bypass subscription verification or obtain paid access without paying;
• attack, overload or attempt to break into our servers;
• use the app for unlawful activity or to infringe anyone else’s rights.

Where purchase fraud is established, we may revoke paid access. We may also disconnect a device or end a session when there is a security risk. We tell you whenever that is possible.

Availability and changes to the app

We work to keep the service up, but it may be unavailable for maintenance, failure or reasons outside our reach. The offline part of the app keeps working during those moments — that is precisely its point.

Features may change, appear and go away over time. If a paid feature is retired for good, we give reasonable notice.

Limits of liability

The app is a study tool. Its chord, scale and harmonic suggestions are musical tendencies, not rules, and what you play is always your call.

We answer for the damages the law assigns to us. Nothing here limits a right that mandatory law gives you.

Keep a copy of the chord sheets that matter to you: the export under Settings → Account → “My data and privacy” exists for that.

Closing your account

You can delete your account whenever you like, inside the app, without talking to anyone. It cannot be undone. How to delete your account →

Deleting the account does not cancel the subscription in the store. Cancel in the App Store or Google Play as well, or the charging continues.

We may close an account in cases of fraud or use that breaches these Terms, with notice whenever possible.

Privacy

How your data is handled is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Read the Privacy Policy →

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When a change is meaningful we tell you inside the app and update the date at the foot of this page. Continuing to use the app after that means you accepted the new version; if you do not accept it, you can delete your account and stop using the app.

Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by Brazilian law. [TO BE DEFINED: chosen venue and governing law for markets outside Brazil].

If you are a consumer, you keep the right to bring a claim where mandatory consumer law allows you to.
