Terms of Use
1. Agreement
These terms apply to your use of Tabuture, the website at tabuture.com (the "service"). By using the service you agree to them and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
2. What Tabuture does
Tabuture makes simplified guitar chord charts from audio files you choose. The chart is made in your browser, on your device; your audio is not uploaded. The service is free, has no accounts, and is provided for personal learning and playing.
3. Your files and your responsibility
- Only use audio files you are allowed to use, such as music you own or are licensed to play.
- You are responsible for the files you choose and for how you use the charts you make.
- Charts are for your personal, non-commercial use: practising, learning and playing for yourself and with friends. Do not publish, sell or distribute them in a way that infringes the rights of the songs' owners.
4. Songs, lyrics and other people's rights
Songs, lyrics and recordings belong to their owners. Tabuture does not provide, host or sell recordings. Lyrics come from a third-party public source and are shown to you with your chart; Tabuture may keep them with its chart data to improve the service, and does not publish or redistribute them. Nothing in these terms gives you any right to the songs themselves.
5. Shared links
A link made with the share button contains the chord data and the song's name, not lyrics or audio. Share links only with people you choose, and do not use them to distribute material you have no right to share.
6. Accuracy
Chords, sections, timing, key, tempo, capo suggestions and the confidence rating are estimated automatically by software and can be wrong. A chart is a starting point for learning a song, not an authoritative transcription.
7. Acceptable use
Please do not:
- send automated or excessive requests to the service or its interfaces, or try to disrupt or overload it;
- send false or misleading data to the service, or attempt to access data that is not meant for you;
- use the service, or charts made with it, to infringe anyone's rights or break the law;
- include lyrics, personal details or anything unlawful in feedback notes.
8. Feedback
Ratings and notes you send are anonymous and help improve the service. By sending them you allow Tabuture to use them for that purpose without any obligation to you.
9. The service itself
The Tabuture website, its software, design and name belong to Tabuture and its licensors; some components are open-source software used under their own licenses. We may change, suspend or end any part of the service at any time.
10. No warranty
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Tabuture is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, arising from your use of the service. Because the service is free, our total liability for any claim relating to it is limited to zero, except where the law does not allow such a limit.
12. Copyright concerns
If you believe something on the service infringes your rights, write to admin@tabuture.com with the details, and we will respond promptly.
13. Changes and governing law
We may update these terms; the new version will be posted here with a new date, and continued use means you accept it. These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where the law of your place of residence requires otherwise.
