Terms & Conditions
The rules for using Fretly.
1. Agreement
By accessing or using Fretly (the “Service”) you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
2. Who we are
The Service is operated by {{REVIEW, legal name / trading name of the operator, country of establishment, optional registration number}}.
3. Accounts
Fretly is currently in private beta and accounts are invite-only. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for everything that happens under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorised use via the Contact page.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Service for anything illegal;
- attempt to bypass authentication, rate limits or security controls;
- upload malware, run vulnerability scans or stress-test the Service without written permission;
- scrape, mirror or resell Fretly data without permission;
- use the Service to infringe anyone else’s rights.
5. User content
You keep ownership of the charts, collections and custom boards you create. By saving them to Fretly you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to store and display that content back to you as part of running the Service. We will not sell or publish your content.
6. Intellectual property
The Fretly name, logo, source code and design are owned by {{REVIEW, rights holder}}. Music theory itself is not copyrightable, but the interface, diagrams and curated content are.
6.1 No copying, scraping or bulk download
Fretly's curated datasets — including the scale, mode, chord, voicing and fingering collections, their names, aliases, groupings, orderings and interval data — are protected as a database and as a curated selection and arrangement. Except for your normal personal use of the Service through its interface, you may not, without our prior written permission:
- scrape, crawl, harvest or otherwise extract content from the Service by automated means;
- bulk-download, copy or systematically extract any substantial part of the curated datasets, whether in one session or over time;
- reproduce, republish, mirror or incorporate the datasets or diagrams in any other product, service, dataset or publication;
- use the Service or its content for text- and data-mining or for training machine-learning / AI models (we expressly reserve our rights under Article 4 of EU Directive 2019/790).
We use technical and forensic measures that make copied datasets identifiable. Violations may result in immediate termination (section 10) and legal action.
7. Pricing and payment
{{REVIEW, Fretly is currently free / in private beta. If and when paid tiers are introduced, describe pricing, billing cycle, refund policy and the statutory right of withdrawal (14 days) for EU consumers.}}
8. Beta disclaimer
Fretly is provided “as is” during the beta. Features may change, break, or be removed without notice. Do not rely on Fretly as the only copy of important data, export your charts regularly.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Fretly is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from use of the Service. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer law (e.g. for gross negligence or intentional misconduct).
10. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and request account deletion via the Contact page. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of {{REVIEW, the country and, if relevant, the specific state or province whose law you want to apply}}. Consumers retain the protections of the mandatory laws of their country of residence.
