Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using the Backing&Score application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

2. Description of the Service

Backing&Score provides a digital sheet music platform, interactive backing tracks, cloud storage for musicians, and live video class networking tools. The Service is accessible globally and may be updated, modified, or discontinued at our sole discretion.

3. Subscriptions and Billing

We offer both free access (with limitations) and premium subscription plans ("B2C VIP" and "B2B Educator"):

• Auto-Renewal: Subscription plans will automatically renew at the end of the billing period unless canceled prior to the renewal date.
• Billing: You will be billed through our designated Merchant of Record (e.g., Paddle, LemonSqueezy) or app stores (Apple iTunes, Google Play) depending on where you initiate the purchase.
• Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time. Upon cancellation, you will retain access to premium features until the end of your current paid billing cycle.

4. Single Purchases (A-la-carte)

Certain digital items (such as individual sheet music, courses, or digital assets) may be offered for a one-time fee. Once a digital item is purchased and securely added to your account's entitlement ledger, it is deemed fully delivered.

5. Intellectual Property and Copyrights

Backing&Score acts as a content distributor. The musical compositions, arrangements, and backing tracks ("Content") available are protected by copyright laws.

• When you stream or use the Content, a portion of the fee or subscription is tracked to pay royalties to original creators or clearing houses (e.g., Hal Leonard, Music Sales).
• Restrictions: You are granted a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to play the Content. You may not illegally extract, illegally reproduce, redistribute, or use the audio/sheet data for commercial public performance without obtaining the necessary mechanical and performance licenses independently.

6. Educator and User-Generated Content

Users subscribed to the Educator tier may create live rooms and invite guests. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any materials or discussions shared within these sessions comply with local laws and do not contain pirated or offensive material. Backing&Score reserves the right to terminate accounts that violate these rules.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Backing&Score shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your use of the Service.
