Terms of Service

Effective date: August 1, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the "musicafè" app and the other apps of the musicafè Suite family (together, "the apps"), published by Simone Scigliuzzi ("we", "us"). By downloading, installing or using the apps, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the apps.

1. The service

The apps are free to use and supported by advertising delivered through Google AdMob. There are no in-app purchases and no subscriptions. Some advanced features ("PRO") — additional instruments, tunings, timbres and chord types — can be unlocked by choosing to watch a rewarded video ad. The unlock applies to your current session or to that single use only: it's not a purchase, and it isn't permanent — it resets the next time you open the app. Watching three rewarded videos also lets you hide the native ads in the Song Library for seven days ("Focus Mode"); this doesn't affect other ad formats.

2. Your content

Songs in your library are written or pasted by you, in the app's built-in editor. The apps do not provide a catalogue of song lyrics or chords, don't download musical content from any third party, and don't maintain a song database of their own. Your songs stay on your device; they only leave it if you choose to export them to a file or share a single song with another device via a QR Code.

You are solely responsible for the content you create or paste into the app, and for making sure you hold the necessary rights (including copyright) to use and share it. We don't review, moderate or receive your content: it never reaches our servers, so we have no way to see it — and we take no license over it.

3. Your data and backups

As explained in our Privacy Policy, everything the apps store — songs, setlists, folders and preferences — lives only on your device; there is no cloud storage of ours behind it. Uninstalling the app, or clearing its data, erases this information for good. The apps let you export your library to a file and import it back: keeping that backup safe is your responsibility. We are not liable for data loss.

4. Group sessions ("Stage")

Shared "Stage" sessions — Jam Room, Recording Studio and Live — let you play in sync with your Band in real time, through the third-party provider Ably, over end-to-end encrypted channels (details in the Privacy Policy). These sessions require an internet connection. The Solo Jam does not: it works fully offline, on your device alone. We don't guarantee uninterrupted availability of the group-sync service, and we may need to change or temporarily suspend it.

5. Intellectual property

The apps, the "musicafè" name, the logo and the visual design belong to us. The instrument sound samples come from third-party libraries under their own open licenses (CC BY 3.0 and MIT); full attribution is published at musicafesuite.com/app-audio-samples/credits.txt.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the apps for non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms. You agree not to reverse-engineer, decompile or redistribute the apps, and not to use them for any unlawful purpose.

6. Getting the app

The apps are distributed through Google Play (and, in the future, the App Store); your use of those stores is also governed by their own terms of service. The apps are not directed at children under the age of 13, consistent with our Privacy Policy.

7. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The apps are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including — to the extent permitted by law — warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The tuner and the metronome are practice aids, not certified or calibrated instruments for professional use. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the apps; nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

8. Changes, suspension and termination

We may update the apps and these Terms from time to time; when we do, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Continuing to use the apps after a change means you accept the updated Terms. We may suspend or discontinue the group-sync service described in section 4; features that work locally on your device don't depend on us and are not affected. You can stop using the apps, and uninstall them, at any time.

9. Governing law and contact

These Terms are governed by Italian law. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, where applicable under EU law. Questions about these Terms? Write to support@musicafesuite.com.
