Bandligo — Terms of Service

Last updated: June 12, 2026

This document is a draft template and does not constitute legal advice. It should be reviewed by a qualified attorney before publication, particularly given that some users may be minors.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or otherwise using Bandligo (the "Platform"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). The Platform may be used by adults (e.g., band leaders, instructors, administrators, and adult musicians) as well as by minors (Students under 18) participating through a music school or program. If you are under the age of 18, a parent, legal guardian, or your school must consent to these Terms on your behalf, as described in Section 4.

2. Description of Service

Bandligo is a band management platform. It allows administrators ("Admins") to manage a shared song library, charts, and set lists, and allows band members to vote on songs, suggest songs, and build personal practice set lists. The Platform may be used independently by adult bands, or provided to Students through a music school, studio, or program.

3. Accounts (All Users)

• You must provide accurate information (name, email) when creating an account.
• Each account is intended for use by a single individual. Do not share your password.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activity under your account.
• Admins are responsible for managing which users have access to their band(s), and for removing access when appropriate (e.g., a member leaves the band or program).
• You may close your account at any time by requesting deletion as described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Additional Terms for Minors

• Educational Institution accounts. Where the Platform is provided to Students through a music school, studio, or program (the "Educational Institution"), the Educational Institution is responsible for determining whether it has appropriate authority and consent to allow its Students to use the Platform, consistent with applicable laws such as FERPA and COPPA in the United States, or equivalent laws elsewhere.
• Students under 13. Consistent with COPPA, an account for a Student under 13 may only be created (a) by a parent or guardian who has provided consent, or (b) by the Educational Institution acting on behalf of, and with appropriate notice to, parents or guardians, in lieu of the Platform obtaining consent directly.
• Students 13–17. We recommend that Educational Institutions inform parents or guardians that students will be using the Platform as part of their program.
• A parent, guardian, or Educational Institution may request review or deletion of a minor's account information at any time — see Section 14.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: - Upload content you do not have the right to share (e.g., copyrighted sheet music or charts you do not have permission to distribute) - Post abusive, harassing, or inappropriate content of any kind - Attempt to access accounts, bands, or data that do not belong to you - Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose

Admins may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these Terms.

6. Content Ownership

• You retain ownership of any original content you upload (e.g., song suggestions, notes).
• By uploading charts, lead sheets, or other materials, you confirm you have the right to share that material with other users of the Platform.
• The Platform does not claim ownership of user-submitted content but may store, display, and make it available to other authorized users of the same band or Educational Institution as part of providing the service.

7. Copyrighted Materials

The Platform is a rehearsal and practice tool. Charts, lead sheets, and recordings made available through the Platform are often subject to copyright, and any rights a user or Educational Institution may have to use such materials for private rehearsal or practice do not extend to public performance.

• Users and Admins are solely responsible for ensuring that any material uploaded, stored, or used through the Platform complies with applicable copyright law.
• If a band, Educational Institution, or any user intends to perform a song publicly — including any performance for which admission is charged, or any performance otherwise requiring a public performance license (e.g., from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, or a similar performing rights organization) — obtaining any such license, and ensuring compliance with the rights of composers, publishers, and other rightsholders, is the sole responsibility of the performing party. Charles Kassouf has no role in, and bears no responsibility for, such licensing.
• The Platform does not grant, and should not be understood to grant, any public performance rights, mechanical rights, synchronization rights, or any other rights in copyrighted works beyond the limited internal rehearsal/practice use described in Section 6.

8. Data and Privacy

Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes what information we collect, how it is used, and additional protections that apply when users are minors.

9. Service Availability

The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access and may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. CHARLES KASSOUF DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DATA WILL NOT BE LOST, CORRUPTED, OR ACCESSED WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

• CHARLES KASSOUF SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF CONTENT, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UNDER WHICH SUCH DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT (WHETHER CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), AND EVEN IF CHARLES KASSOUF HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

• IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF CHARLES KASSOUF, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM OR THESE TERMS, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT, IF ANY, ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU (OR YOUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION) FOR ACCESS TO THE PLATFORM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. IF YOU HAVE PAID NOTHING FOR ACCESS TO THE PLATFORM, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF CHARLES KASSOUF SHALL BE ZERO.

• THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by applicable law.

12. Indemnification

You (and, where applicable, your Educational Institution) agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Charles Kassouf from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Platform; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) content you upload, including any claim that such content infringes a third party's rights (e.g., copyright in uploaded charts or recordings); (d) your Educational Institution's compliance (or failure to comply) with applicable laws regarding student data, including COPPA and FERPA; or (e) any public performance, recording, broadcast, or other use of a musical work by you, your band, or your Educational Institution — including any claim by a composer, publisher, performing rights organization, or other rightsholder relating to the absence of a required public performance license, mechanical license, or other clearance, regardless of whether the performance was for compensation.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Platform for any account that violates these Terms. Admins/Educational Institutions may remove users from their band(s) or organization at any time.

14. Notice for Parents and Guardians

If your child has been given access to Bandligo, whether directly or through their music school or program, you may request: - A description of the personal information collected from your child - A review of your child's account information - Deletion of your child's account and associated personal information

by contacting either your child's Educational Institution directly (if applicable), or support@bandligo.com.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Material changes will be communicated to Admins, who are responsible for relaying relevant changes to their members and, where applicable, to parents/guardians.
