Terms of Service

Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, or using any application ("App") published by Newberry Studio, LLC ("Newberry Studio," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Apps.

Description of Service

Newberry Studio develops mobile applications for musicians. Our current App, Rough to Ready ("R2R"), is a band management tool that enables users to manage song repertoires, record rehearsals, build setlists, schedule events, and collaborate with bandmates. We may offer additional Apps in the future, all of which are covered by these Terms.

Account Registration

To use our Apps, you must create an account using an email address, Google account, or Apple ID. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating your account and to keep it up to date.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's permission to use the App.

Band Accounts and Shared Data

R2R uses a collaborative model where band members share access to songs, setlists, events, and recordings within a band account. By joining a band account (either by creating one or accepting an invite), you acknowledge that:

• Content you share with the band (songs, recordings, setlists, events) is accessible to all current members of that band account
• Band-shared content remains with the band if you leave — it is not deleted when you depart
• The band account owner has administrative privileges including the ability to generate invite codes and manage the account
• Private songs and setlists are visible only to you and are deleted if you leave the band

Your Content

You retain ownership of all content you create or upload through our Apps, including audio recordings, song metadata, notes, sheet music, and images ("Your Content"). By using the App, you grant Newberry Studio a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and transmit Your Content solely for the purpose of providing the service to you and your bandmates.

You are responsible for ensuring that Your Content does not infringe on any third party's intellectual property rights. If you upload cover song recordings, you acknowledge that the underlying compositions may be protected by copyright and that your use of such material is your responsibility.

Intellectual Property and Ownership Disputes

Rough to Ready is a collaboration tool. It is not a rights management platform, a publishing system, or a legal registry of authorship or ownership. The App makes no determination — express or implied — regarding who owns, authored, composed, arranged, or has any intellectual property rights to any song, recording, lyric, composition, or other creative work stored or shared within the App.

By using the App, you acknowledge and agree that:

• The act of uploading, recording, sharing, or associating content with a band account does not establish, transfer, assign, or evidence any intellectual property rights. A song appearing in a band's repertoire does not imply that the band or any member owns the rights to that song.
• Features such as "Share with Band," proficiency tracking, setlist placement, recording timelines, and song metadata are organizational tools — they carry no legal significance regarding authorship, ownership, licensing, or copyright.
• Newberry Studio does not mediate, arbitrate, adjudicate, or take any position on disputes between band members (or any other parties) regarding song ownership, songwriting credits, royalty splits, composition rights, recording rights, or any other intellectual property matter.
• Data stored in or exported from the App (including archives, recording files, and metadata) should not be relied upon as evidence of authorship, creation date, ownership, or any other intellectual property claim in any legal or business proceeding.
• You are solely responsible for managing your intellectual property rights through appropriate legal agreements, such as band partnership agreements, songwriter splits, publishing contracts, or other instruments outside of this App.

Newberry Studio expressly disclaims all liability arising from or related to intellectual property disputes between users, band members, or any third parties. If you have a dispute regarding ownership of creative content, you must resolve it independently through legal counsel or other appropriate channels.

Subscriptions and Payments

Some features of our Apps may require a paid subscription. Subscriptions are processed and managed through the Apple App Store. By purchasing a subscription:

• You agree to the pricing displayed at the time of purchase
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period
• You can manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple ID account settings
• Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with their refund policy

We may change subscription pricing with advance notice. Price changes do not affect your current billing period.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App to store or distribute illegal content
• Attempt to access other users' accounts or data without authorization
• Interfere with or disrupt the App's infrastructure
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
• Use the App for any purpose other than its intended use as a band management tool
• Deliberately destroy or corrupt shared band data to harm other members

Account Termination

You can delete your account at any time from within the App. Upon deletion:

• Your private content is deleted immediately
• If you are the sole owner of a band account with no other members, the account enters a 30-day grace period before permanent deletion
• If other members remain, you must transfer ownership before leaving

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, with or without notice.

Disclaimers

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We are not responsible for any loss of data, though we make reasonable efforts to maintain backups and data integrity.

Audio recordings stored in the App are intended as rehearsal and reference recordings. We do not guarantee studio-quality audio fidelity.

The App is not a substitute for legal agreements between band members or collaborators. We strongly recommend that bands establish their own written agreements regarding songwriting credits, ownership, royalties, and intellectual property rights independent of this App.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Newberry Studio shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of the App, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of recordings, inability to access the service, or disputes between users regarding intellectual property, song ownership, or creative credits.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $50, whichever is greater.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
