Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 18 June 2026

The short version: Chordology is a reference app for looking up instrument chords. By downloading or using it you agree to these terms. The app is provided as-is for your personal, non-commercial use.

Acceptance of these terms

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Chordology iOS app (the “App”). By downloading, installing or using the App you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

Licence to use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, in accordance with these Terms and with Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement. You agree not to:

Reference information

Chordology provides chord, scale and tuning information for a range of instruments as a reference and learning aid. While we work to keep this information accurate, music theory and instrument fingerings can be interpreted in more than one way. The content is offered for general informational purposes and without warranty that every voicing or fingering is correct or suitable for your instrument or playing style.

Purchases

The App may offer optional in-app purchases. All purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store and are subject to Apple’s terms and refund policies. We do not see or store your payment details. Any questions about a charge, refund or restoring a purchase should be directed to Apple.

Intellectual property

The App, including its design, code, artwork, name and logo, is owned by Chordology and is protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you. The names of instruments, tunings and chords themselves are generic musical terms and are not claimed as our property.

Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of inaccuracies.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Chordology will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the App. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Apple’s role

These Terms are between you and Chordology only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. However, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Any maintenance, support or product-liability claims relating to the App are our responsibility, not Apple’s, to the extent required by the App Store rules.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after any change means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. This does not affect any statutory consumer rights you may have in your country of residence.
