Terms of Service

1. About Chordright

Chordright is a web based guitar chord laboratory operated from the Netherlands. It helps users explore voicings, identify chord shapes, build progressions, export diagrams, and save musical work. Questions can be sent through the contact form.

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate account information and keep your sign-in method secure. Accounts are personal. Do not sell, transfer, or share access in a way that lets several people use one individual account. You are responsible for activity performed through your account unless you promptly report unauthorized use.

Authentication and recovery are provided through Clerk. Chordright may require an emailed code, a trusted device, or another verification step to protect your account.

3. Free access, trial, and Premium

Visitors may use the free features shown in the product. A newly registered eligible account receives seven days of Premium access without payment. At present, paid billing is disabled while Chordright is being tested.

When paid plans are enabled, Premium is offered at USD $12 per year or USD $1.75 per month unless a different price is clearly shown before purchase. Stripe Checkout will show the price, billing interval, taxes if applicable, and accepted payment methods before you confirm. A subscription renews for the selected interval until cancelled.

Features and reasonable usage limits may evolve. A material reduction to a paid plan will be communicated in advance where reasonably possible.

4. Cancellation, renewal, and withdrawal

When billing is enabled, you can cancel a subscription through the account billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid billing period unless a refund, legal requirement, or checkout term says otherwise. Cancelling stops future renewal; it does not delete your account or saved musical content.

If you are a consumer in the European Union or another jurisdiction with a statutory withdrawal right, you may have the right to withdraw from an online subscription within 14 days. At checkout, Chordright will provide the required information and ask for any consent needed to begin Premium access immediately. To exercise a withdrawal right, use the online withdrawal or cancellation function made available with billing, or send an unambiguous request through the contact form. Any mandatory refund or proportionate charge will be handled according to applicable law.

5. Your chords and progressions

You keep any rights you have in chord names, annotations, custom shapes, and progressions you create or save. You give Chordright a limited permission to host, copy, process, and display that content only as needed to provide, secure, back up, and improve the requested service. This permission ends when the content is deleted, except for temporary backups and records that must be retained by law.

Musical concepts, chord names, and common chord shapes may not be owned by any one user. Do not upload material that infringes another person’s rights.

6. Acceptable use

Do not misuse Chordright, interfere with its operation, bypass access controls, scrape the service at unreasonable volume, distribute malware, attempt unauthorized access, or use the service unlawfully. Do not represent exported diagrams or automatic chord suggestions as guaranteed professional advice.

7. Chord names and musical results

Chord identification and progression suggestions are based on music theory rules and the notes entered. The same notes can sometimes have more than one valid musical interpretation. Chordright aims to present a useful recommended name and allows custom naming where available, but it cannot guarantee that every result matches the musical context intended by a performer.

8. Availability and updates

Chordright may be updated, maintained, or temporarily unavailable. We will use reasonable care and aim to preserve saved account data, but you should keep copies of work that is important to you. Browser-only data can be lost if browser storage is cleared. Export and backup tools should be used where available.

9. Consumer rights and liability

Nothing in these terms limits mandatory consumer rights, including rights relating to the conformity of digital services, or excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded. Within the limits allowed by law, Chordright is not responsible for indirect loss, lost creative opportunities, or loss caused by misuse, incompatible devices, third-party outages, or a failure to keep a backup. Any limitation is applied only to the extent it is fair and lawful in your country.

10. Suspension and ending an account

You may stop using Chordright at any time and may request account deletion by emailing us. We may restrict or suspend an account when reasonably necessary to address fraud, security risk, unlawful activity, serious or repeated breaches, or harm to the service or other users. Where appropriate, we will give notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue.

11. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by Dutch law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the mandatory protections and court rights of the country where you live. Please contact us first so we can try to resolve a concern directly.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms to reflect product, pricing, provider, or legal changes. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes that affect an active paid subscription will be communicated in advance where required.
