The deal between you and FRELODY

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and FRELODY ("we", "us", or "our") covering the FRELODY website, web application, mobile apps, and all related features (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, signing in, or using the Service in any way, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, that's completely fine — but please don't use FRELODY.

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use FRELODY. If you're under the age of majority where you live, you may only use the Service with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

By using the Service you confirm that you can form a binding contract with us and that you are not barred from using the Service under the laws of your country.

To unlock most of FRELODY you'll create an account with your email, or sign in with Google. A few things you agree to when you do:

We protect accounts with measures like password hashing, login monitoring, rate-limiting, and one-time email codes — but the first line of defence is a strong, unique password that only you know. See the Privacy Policy for how we handle your data.

FRELODY is a tool for learning and practising songs. Here's what you can do with it:

FRELODY has a Free plan and a paid Premium plan. The Free plan lets you analyse a limited number of songs and includes some practical limits (for example on song length); Premium raises or removes those limits so you can keep going.

Because song analysis is metered, your Free allowance refreshes on a regular cycle, and what you've used is shown to you in the app. The exact features, quotas, and prices for each plan are displayed on the Pricing page and in your account — those pages are part of these Terms, and they're the source of truth if anything here differs.

We may adjust plan features, limits, and pricing over time. If we make a change that materially reduces what you're paying for during a billing period you've already paid for, we'll honour your existing terms until that period ends.

FRELODY is for learning and making music. To keep it that way, you agree not to:

Heavy or abusive automated use is exactly the behaviour our rate limits and monitoring are built to catch. If your usage threatens the Service for everyone else, we may throttle, suspend, or remove access (see Section 13).

"Your content" means anything you add to FRELODY — uploaded images, edits you make to a chart, playlists, ratings, your profile, and messages you send us.

You keep ownership of your content. You only need to grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, display, and share it for the purpose of operating and improving the Service for you — for example, storing your edited chart so it's there next time, or showing a playlist to people you share its link with. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content others have already saved or shared, and copies kept in routine backups for a limited time.

You're responsible for your content. By uploading it, you confirm you have the right to do so and that it doesn't break these Terms or anyone else's rights.

The FRELODY name, logo, software, and design are ours and are protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms don't give you any right to use our branding without permission.

We don't own the songs. The underlying musical compositions, recordings, and lyrics belong to their respective artists, writers, and rights holders. FRELODY provides chord analysis and practice tools as an aid for personal learning. You're responsible for making sure your use of any song is lawful where you are — and for honouring the rights of the people who made it.

FRELODY works alongside services we don't control — the sites you paste links from, Google sign-in, and payment providers like PayPal and PesaPal. We're not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by those platforms or the artists whose songs you analyse.

When you use a third-party service through FRELODY, that service's own terms and privacy policy apply to your use of it, and we're not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. If a source platform blocks, changes, or removes content, that may affect what FRELODY can analyse — and that's outside our control.

We work hard to keep FRELODY fast and reliable, but the Service is provided on an "as available" basis. We may add, change, pause, or remove features, and we may run maintenance, without notice. Some analysis tasks (like chord recognition or pulling a song from a link) can take time or occasionally fail because of the source platform or processing limits.

We don't guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that every song can be analysed. We may set reasonable technical limits — such as file sizes, song length, request rates, and per-plan quotas — to keep things working for everyone.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, FRELODY is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind — express or implied — including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. In particular, chord charts, keys, timings, and other analysis are best-effort interpretations and may be inaccurate or incomplete. FRELODY is an educational and practice aid, not an authoritative transcription.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, FRELODY and its team won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, goodwill, or profits, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Service. Where liability can't be excluded, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim, or USD 50.

Some places don't allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that can't be limited by law. You agree to indemnify FRELODY against claims arising from your content or your misuse of the Service.

You can stop using FRELODY and delete your account at any time from your account settings or by contacting us. When you delete your account we remove your personal data as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you break these Terms, if your use harms the Service or other people, or if we're required to by law. Where it's reasonable and lawful, we'll give you notice and a chance to put things right. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — such as content licences you've granted, intellectual-property terms, disclaimers, and liability limits — continue to apply afterwards.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Uganda, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of Uganda have jurisdiction over any dispute — except where the mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence grant you the right to bring proceedings locally.

Before heading to court, please reach out to us first at [email protected]. Most issues can be sorted out quickly and informally, and we'd always rather fix the problem than fight about it.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we'll post the updated Terms here and refresh the "Effective date" above, and for significant changes we may also notify you by email or an in-app notice.

Your continued use of FRELODY after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you don't agree with a change, you can stop using the Service and close your account.

Questions about these Terms? We're real people and we'd love to hear from you.
