Condiciones de servicio
Effective date: 2026-09-11 Version: 2026-09-11
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Chord Collect application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by Chord Collect ("we", "us", or "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, Copyright Policy, Community Guidelines, and Subscription Terms.
1. The Service
Chord Collect is a digital sheet-music and chord library for musicians, available only to signed-in members. The Service lets you store, organize, transpose, and perform songs; scan a paper chord sheet and have it converted into a draft chord chart using an AI service; build playlists and setlists; sync across devices; use offline features on supported platforms; collaborate with other musicians in Band Mode, including shared repertoire, group chat, and live performance sessions; and discover, publish, or save content in the Community.
Part of the song library available to you (the "Catalog Content") is content that we ourselves compile and publish through our official account (see §5). Our rights in Catalog Content are set out in §8. Catalog Content is not User Content: it is not something another user uploaded, and the license you grant us in §4 does not apply to it. Accounts on the free plan see advertising; Premium accounts do not. You can export your own library as a personal backup; see §6 for what that export may and may not be used for.
We may update, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 16 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent required in your country if higher, to use the Service. Each account is for one person: you may not share your login credentials, transfer your account to someone else, or let another person use your account. Provide accurate registration information and notify us promptly of unauthorized use. We may apply reasonable limits on the number of active sessions or devices per account.
A display name or handle that impersonates Chord Collect, our official account, or our staff (including variations of "Chord Collect", "Official", or similar) is reserved and may not be used by other accounts; we may rename or suspend an account that violates this.
Using the Service on behalf of a school, studio, band, or other organization is permitted for ordinary personal-style use by that organization's members; running the Service as part of a commercial product or service you offer to others requires our prior written permission.
3. Subscriptions and payments
Some features require a paid subscription ("Premium"). Prices, billing cycles, and plan limits are shown in the app or on our website, and are set out in detail in our Subscription Terms, which govern auto-renewal, cancellation, refunds, and what happens to your content if you downgrade.
Payments for in-app purchases are processed exclusively by the Apple App Store or Google Play; their terms and payment/refund processes apply to the transaction itself. We do not process payment card data.
4. Your content
You retain ownership of songs, chord charts, lyrics, playlists, PDFs, images, and other materials you upload or create ("User Content"). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and process User Content solely to operate and improve the Service, including backup, sync, search, the Scan Chord Sheet feature, and any Community or Band Mode features you choose to use.
You represent that you have the rights necessary to upload and share User Content, and that it does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party. Chord charts and lyrics of commercial songs are frequently protected by copyright even when transcribed by ear; do not upload content you are not entitled to reproduce or share. See our Copyright Policy for how we handle infringement notices.
5. Community and sharing
If you publish songs or playlists to the Community, they become visible to other users according to your sharing settings, and other users may save a copy to their own library. You may unpublish or change sharing settings at any time where the product allows it, but a copy already saved by another user to their library is not retrieved or deleted by unpublishing. If you choose to publish anonymously, your identity is hidden from other users, not from us or from a valid legal request.
Chord Collect operates its own official account, which also publishes Catalog Content (see §1 and §8) to the Community. You may not create an account that impersonates it. Rating, review, and popularity signals in the Community are meant to reflect genuine member opinions. Do not manipulate them, for example with fake accounts, coordinated rating, or automated activity.
Publishing content, following other users, and participating in group chat are governed by our Community Guidelines, which describe the content standards we expect and how to report content or accounts. We act on valid reports as described in that document and in our Copyright Policy.
6. Members-only access and permitted use
The Community and the Catalog Content are made available only to signed-in members of the Service, for your own personal, non-commercial use. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use them for that purpose.
You may not reproduce, redistribute, mirror, republish, or otherwise make Catalog Content or Community content available to anyone outside the Service, including on another website, app, forum, social network, or chord or lyrics database, whether for free or for payment. The library and playlist export feature exists so you can keep a personal backup or move your own material between your own devices; it is not a way to republish content to non-members.
7. Automated access, scraping, and data extraction
Except through the Service's own applications and any official client we publish, you agree not to:
- Access the Service using a crawler, bot, scraper, script, headless browser, or other automated means; there is no public API
- Systematically download, copy, or extract a substantial part of our database, catalog, or Community content, whether in one operation or through repeated smaller ones
- Use any content obtained from the Service to train a machine-learning or AI model, build a dataset, or operate a competing service
- Circumvent or attempt to circumvent rate limits, quotas, authentication, or other technical measures we use to protect the Service
- Follow, rate, message, or publish content through automated or mass means, or otherwise use the Service in a way that resembles spam
We may enforce this section by suspending or terminating accounts, blocking IP addresses or networks, and pursuing available legal and equitable remedies, including injunctive relief, in addition to any liability you may have under applicable law (including database-right and unfair-competition protections) for extracting or making unauthorized use of a substantial part of our catalog.
You also agree not to:
- Use the Service for unlawful purposes or to harass, threaten, or abuse others
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, accounts, or data belonging to others
- Upload malware, spam, or knowingly misleading content
- Circumvent technical limits, quotas, or subscription restrictions
- Infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights of others
- Impersonate any person or entity
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, following the process described in our Community Guidelines and Copyright Policy where applicable.
8. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, documentation, and the Catalog Content described in §1 and §5 (excluding User Content), is owned by us or our licensors, including a database right that we and our licensors hold in the compiled catalog. These Terms do not grant you any right to our branding, code, or Catalog Content except as needed to use the Service as intended and within the members-only license in §6.
Some content on the Service, such as certain artist images, is licensed from third parties under an open license (for example, Creative Commons). Where that is the case, we display the required attribution alongside the content; you may not use that content outside the terms of its own license.
9. Content moderation
Images you upload, including avatars, group photos, song image pages, and photos submitted for the Scan Chord Sheet feature, are automatically screened by an automated moderation service before or shortly after they become visible to others. Content the service flags with high confidence is automatically hidden from public view, and for song image pages also from your own library view, pending review by our team; borderline content may be queued for review while it remains visible. We notify the account holder when content is hidden or restored and provide a way to appeal a decision you believe is mistaken, by contacting us at [email protected]. Group chat messages are reviewed on a report basis rather than screened automatically.
10. Band Mode and groups
A Band Mode group's owner is responsible for managing its membership and must transfer ownership before deleting their account if the group still has other members (see §15). Group chat and shared repertoire are visible to that group's members; group chat is not end-to-end encrypted. If a member leaves or is removed from a group, copies of repertoire they shared to the group may remain with the group.
11. Third-party services
The Service integrates with third parties, including Google Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, cloud storage, OpenAI (for the Scan Chord Sheet feature and for the automated content moderation described in §9), advertising, and payment processing through the app stores. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. See our Privacy Policy §4 for the full list of providers we use.
12. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not guarantee the accuracy of AI-generated chord charts, which are provided as a drafting aid and should be reviewed before use, nor the accuracy of Catalog Content, which we compile from various sources and our own editorial work and which may contain errors.
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Chord Collect and its affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) USD 50.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable consumer protection law.
14. Indemnity
You will indemnify and hold us harmless from third-party claims arising from your User Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms, except where caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.
15. Account deletion and termination
You may delete your account at any time from within the app (Profile → Account → Delete account). Account deletion is immediate and irreversible: once you confirm it, your songs, playlists, group content you authored, and uploaded files are permanently removed and cannot be restored by us. The one exception is the messages you wrote in the chat of a band that continues to exist: they stay so that the other members' conversation remains readable, but they are shown as written by a "Deleted user" and are no longer linked to you. If you own a group that has other members, you must transfer ownership of that group before you can delete your account. See our public Account Deletion page for a summary of this process, including how to request deletion if you can no longer sign in.
We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required for legal or security reasons, or if your account has been inactive for an extended period, following reasonable notice where practicable. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including content licenses granted for backups already made, liability limits, and governing law, will survive.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the revised version here with a new effective date. For material changes, we may require renewed acceptance at your next login. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
17. General provisions
If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them without restriction or compensation to you. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest of these Terms remain in effect. These Terms, together with the documents they incorporate by reference, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. We are not liable for a failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
If you are a consumer resident in Türkiye, the Turkish-language version of these Terms governs in the event of a conflict with a translation; for all other users, the English-language version governs.
18. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts and enforcement offices of Istanbul (Çağlayan), Türkiye. However, where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts or grants you additional rights that cannot be waived by contract, that mandatory law applies and this clause does not limit those rights. Consumers resident in Türkiye may also apply to the consumer arbitration committee (tüketici hakem heyeti) or consumer court (tüketici mahkemesi) with jurisdiction over their place of residence, as provided by Law No. 6502. Consumers resident in the EU/EEA may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform.
19. Apple App Store users
If you access the Service through Apple's App Store, in addition to these Terms, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the standard EULA in Schedule 2 of the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions) applies to your use of the app. Apple is not a party to these Terms and has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the Service, but Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
