These Terms govern your use of BandCue, a rehearsal tool that synchronizes tab, notation, and lyrics to a recording so a band can play together in time. BandCue is operated by [[ LEGAL NAME — your name, or your LLC/Inc. if formed ]] ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use BandCue.
You may browse parts of BandCue as a guest. Uploading, saving, and hosting rehearsal rooms requires an account. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your credentials secure. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account, and if you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use BandCue only with a parent or guardian's involvement.
Provide accurate information. Do not impersonate another person or choose a display name designed to mislead. We may reclaim or clear display names that violate this.
"Your Content" means anything you upload or create on BandCue — tab and notation files, set lists, lyrics, sync timings, song details, and your profile information.
You retain all rights you already hold in Your Content. These Terms do not transfer ownership to us.
To operate BandCue, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt, and display Your Content solely for the purpose of providing the service — which necessarily includes transmitting it to other members of a rehearsal room you invite or join, rendering it, and syncing it to a recording. If you mark content public, that licence extends to displaying it in the public library to other users. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies retained in backups for a reasonable period, and except where the content has already been used by others in ways that cannot be undone.
Content you create is private to you unless you explicitly make it public. Public content appears in the shared library, is visible to other users, and may be sorted or surfaced by how often it is used. You can change content back to private at any time, but you cannot recall copies others have already used.
This is the most important obligation in these Terms. By uploading or making content public, you represent and warrant that you own the necessary rights, or have permission from whoever does, and that your upload does not infringe anyone's copyright or other rights.
Music is heavily protected, and sheet music carries two separate copyrights: the underlying composition, and the specific published edition or engraving. A piece can be old enough that the music is in the public domain while a modern printed edition of it is still protected. Scanning, photographing, converting, or transcribing a published edition you do not have rights to — and uploading the result — infringes both.
If you are not certain you hold the rights, keep the content private. Private use within your own band is a materially different situation from publishing to the public library, and BandCue is built to support the former without requiring the latter.
We respond to valid copyright notices and we terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. The full procedure — how to send a notice, how to file a counter-notice, and how our repeat-infringer policy works — is set out on our Copyright & DMCA Policy page, which forms part of these Terms.
You may stop using BandCue and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms, that is the subject of repeated copyright complaints, or where we are required to do so by law. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you why.
On termination, your right to use the service ends. We may retain content and records where needed to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements — including records of copyright complaints.
BandCue is under active development. Features may change, and we may add, alter, or remove functionality. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, and rehearsal synchronization depends on your network conditions, your device, and third-party services such as YouTube, which are outside our control.
BandCue plays audio and video through third-party services and uses third-party infrastructure. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party content, availability, or practices.
BandCue is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that content in the library is accurate, correctly transcribed, correctly synchronized, or lawfully uploaded by the user who posted it.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of BandCue. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or [[ AMOUNT — commonly USD 100 ]].
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and reasonable legal costs arising out of content you upload or publish, or your violation of these Terms or of anyone's rights.
These Terms are governed by the laws of [[ STATE / COUNTRY — e.g. the State of New York, USA ]], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in [[ COUNTY / CITY, STATE ]] for any dispute not subject to another agreed process.
We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we will give reasonable notice — for example by posting a notice in the app or updating the effective date above. Continuing to use BandCue after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms.
