NoteForge Liszt Terms of Service ("Agreement") v.0.6

This Agreement was last modified on August 9, 2017, and sets out legally binding terms and conditions for your use of Liszt.

Overview

NoteForge LLC runs a collection of utilities we call Liszt that aims to let musicians spend less time managing administrative tasks and more time making music. 

Terms of Service

The following terms and conditions govern all use of Liszt and all content, services, and products available at or through the website or application, including, but not limited to, Liszt, Ictus, AudioAtlas, ScoreShare, CallsForScores, and Hammer (together, our Services). Our Services are offered subject to your acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies (including, without limitation, NoteForge’s Privacy Policy) and procedures that may be published from time to time by NoteForge LLC (collectively, the “Agreement”). You agree that we may automatically upgrade our Services, and these terms will apply to any upgrades. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization or entity (hereinafter, “Organization”) then you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of the Organization and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Organization to these Terms. In that case, “You” and “Your” refers to you and that Organization.

Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using our Services. By accessing or using any part of the Services, or alternatively by checking a checkbox or clicking a button indicating your acceptance of the Agreement, you agree to become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then you may not access or use any of our Services. You may use the Services only if you can form a binding contract with NoteForge and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations. The Services will change from time to time as we evolve, refine, or add more features to the Services, often without prior notice to you. In addition, NoteForge may temporarily or permanently stop providing the Services or any features within the Services to you or to your users generally and will make a good faith effort to provide you with a reasonably timely notice before such changes take place.

Our Services are not directed to children younger than 13, and access and use of our Services is only offered to users 13 years of age or older. If you are under 13 years old, please do not register to use our Services. Any person who registers as a user or provides their personal information to our Services represents that they are 13 years of age or older.

Use of our Services requires a Liszt account. You agree to provide us with complete and accurate information when you register for an account. You will be solely responsible and liable for any activity that occurs under your username. You are responsible for keeping your password secure.

Description of Service

We provide a collection of online web-based services for musician collaboration and administration, including event scheduling, attendance management, file sharing, document management, content management, invoicing and other business management, and sound geolocation, marketed collectively under the name “Liszt.” You may use the Services for your personal and business use or for internal business purposes in the organization that you represent. You may access the Services using any web browser supported by the Services. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Internet and the equipment necessary to use the Services. You can create and edit content with your user account and if you choose to do so, you can publish and share such content.

Subscription to Beta Service

We will frequently offer certain Services as closed or open beta services ("Beta Service" or “Beta Services”) for the purpose of testing and evaluation. You agree that we have the sole authority and discretion to determine the period of time for testing and evaluation of Beta Services. We will be the sole judge of the success of such testing and the decision, if any, to offer the Beta Services as commercial services. You will be under no obligation to acquire a subscription to use any paid Service as a result of your subscription to any Beta Service. We reserve the right to fully or partially discontinue, at any time and from time to time, temporarily or permanently, any of the Beta Services with or without notice to you. You agree that NoteForge will not be liable to you or to any third party for any harm related to, arising out of, or caused by the modification, suspension or discontinuance of any of the Beta Services for any reason.

Modification of Terms of Service

We are constantly updating our Services, and that means sometimes we have to change the legal terms under which our Services are offered. If we make changes that are material, we will let you know by posting on our status website, or by sending you an email or other communication before the changes take effect. The notice will designate a reasonable period of time after which the new terms will take effect. If you disagree with our changes, then you should stop using our Services within the designated notice period. Your continued use of our Services will be subject to the new terms. However, any dispute that arose before the changes shall be governed by the Terms that were in place when the dispute arose.
