Acceptance of these Terms
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern use of the Stavebook application for iPhone, iPad, and Mac (the “App”), provided by the independent developer publishing under the OrinByte name (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
What Stavebook does
Stavebook is a teacher-facing studio-management app for independent music teachers. It helps teachers organize student records, lesson schedules, dated lesson journals, practice items, repertoire, lesson-plan templates, milestones, studio events, lending-library records, mileage, expenses, backups, and teacher-focused planning and reporting tools.
Stavebook does not provide student or parent accounts, messaging, a social network, a public profile, advertising, audio or video recording, AI scoring, or pitch detection. A “student” in the App is a private record created and maintained by the teacher using the App.
Eligibility and responsibility
You must be legally able to enter into these Terms in the place where you live. If you use Stavebook for a business, school, or other organization, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.
You are responsible for your device, Apple Account, iCloud settings, access controls, backups, and use of the App. You are also responsible for complying with laws and professional obligations that apply to the records you create, including any obligations concerning minors, educational records, tax records, consent, confidentiality, or data protection.
Teacher-entered records
You decide what information to enter in Stavebook and must have an appropriate basis for recording it. Keep entries relevant to your teaching work, protect your devices and accounts, and avoid entering information you do not need.
Students do not create accounts or use a student-directed Stavebook service. Stavebook does not contact students or parents. You remain responsible for your communications and relationships with them outside the App.
Devices and iCloud
The App requires a compatible Apple device and operating system. Compatibility may change as the App evolves. Some features may use Apple services such as iCloud or CloudKit and depend on your Apple Account, device settings, internet access, storage, and Apple’s availability.
There is no Stavebook account system or Stavebook application server for your studio database. Studio records are stored using Apple technologies and may sync through your private iCloud database. Apple services are provided under Apple’s own terms and policies.
Stavebook Pro subscriptions
Core studio record-keeping features remain available without a Stavebook Pro subscription. Backup and restore also remain free. Stavebook Pro removes the free-studio student limit and adds selected planning tools.
Stavebook Pro is offered through Apple as an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription. The App Store displays the current price, billing period, currency, and any introductory offer before purchase. We do not guarantee that a trial or introductory offer is available to every person; eligibility is determined under Apple’s rules and the offer shown to you.
Payment is charged through your Apple Account. Unless you cancel, Apple may renew the subscription and charge your Apple Account in accordance with the subscription terms shown by the App Store. You can manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple Account subscription settings. Deleting the App does not by itself cancel a subscription. Billing, renewals, cancellations, refunds, and payment disputes are handled by Apple under its applicable terms and policies.
We may change the features included with Pro. Any price change is handled through Apple and subject to the notice or consent process Apple requires.
Your content and records
As between you and us, you retain your rights in the records and other content you enter or create in the App. These Terms do not transfer ownership of that content to us.
You direct the creation and use of backup or export files and control where you save or share them. You are responsible for maintaining suitable backups and confirming that a restore has completed as intended. No storage or backup method can be guaranteed to prevent every loss.
Acceptable use
You may not:
- use the App unlawfully or to infringe another person’s rights;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, Apple services, or another person’s data;
- disrupt, damage, or misuse the App or any catalog-update service;
- copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, reverse engineer, or circumvent technical protections in the App, except where applicable law expressly allows it; or
- use the App to store malicious code or content you have no right to use.
Intellectual property
The App and its software, design, text, bundled repertoire catalog, and other publisher-provided materials are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms and Apple’s applicable rules, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple devices you own or control.
Third-party services
Apple provides the App Store, StoreKit, iCloud, CloudKit, device operating systems, and related services. Your use of those services is governed by Apple’s terms and privacy policies. Apple, not us, processes App Store purchases and may process subscription status and iCloud data as necessary to provide those services.
The App may make an optional, read-only request for updates to its bundled repertoire catalog. That request retrieves static catalog data and does not send teacher or student records.
Availability, changes, and discontinuation
We may update, change, suspend, or discontinue the App or individual features. We do not promise that every feature will remain available on every device or operating-system version, or that Apple services and catalog updates will always be available. Where reasonably practical, we will seek to avoid unnecessary disruption.
Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim warranties not expressly stated in these Terms, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Stavebook is an organizational tool and is not legal, tax, accounting, safeguarding, medical, or other professional advice.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer right that cannot legally be waived.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from or related to the App. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Termination
You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your license to use the App if you materially violate these Terms, subject to applicable law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, disclaimers, and limitations of liability—will survive.
Stopping use of the App or deleting it does not automatically cancel an active Stavebook Pro subscription; manage subscriptions through your Apple Account settings.
Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms as the App changes or as required for legal, security, or operational reasons. We will post the current version here and update the date above. Where applicable law requires additional notice or consent, we will provide it.
