Clefbound

Terms of use

Last updated 9 October 2026

These terms apply when you use the Clefbound app. By downloading or using it, you agree to them.

Clefbound is made by Tuomas Laiho, a private developer in Finland (“I”, “me”). Contact: support@clefbound.app.

1. The app and your licence

You may use Clefbound for your own, non-commercial learning on devices you own or control. You may not copy, sell, rent or redistribute the app, or reverse-engineer it except where the law allows.

If you got the app from the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. If you got it from Google Play, Google Play's terms apply to your purchase. Apple and Google are not responsible for the app or its support.

2. Subscription

  • The app is free to download, and the first lesson is free. The full course, games and songs need a subscription.
  • There are two plans: yearly and monthly. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, where offered.
  • Prices are shown in the app and the store before you buy, in your local currency including any taxes, and may differ by country.
  • Payment is charged to your App Store or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends.
  • The subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
  • You can cancel at any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
  • If you cancel during the free trial, before it ends, you won't be charged. Any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription.
  • If the price changes, the store tells you beforehand, as its rules require.

3. Refunds

Purchases are processed by Apple or Google, so refunds are handled by them under their policies: for the App Store at reportaproblem.apple.com, for Google Play in your Play account's order history. This does not limit your rights as a consumer under the law of your country.

4. Your progress

Your progress is stored only on your phone (see the privacy policy). Keep your phone's backup on if you want it to survive a lost or replaced phone. I can't restore progress that was lost with a device.

5. Content

The app's lessons, exercises, games, drawings and code belong to me. The piano sound is the Salamander Grand Piano by Alexander Holm, used under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence. Open-source software in the app is listed in Settings → Open-source licences.

6. No guarantees

Clefbound is a learning aid. I work to keep it correct and running, but it is provided “as is”: I can't promise it will be free of errors or always available, or that it will get you to any particular level of playing. I may change, add or remove features to improve the app.

7. Liability

As far as the law allows, I am not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and my total liability to you is limited to what you paid for the app in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, or your mandatory rights as a consumer.

8. Changes to these terms

I may update these terms, for example when the app gains new features. The date above shows the latest version. If a change matters to your subscription, you'll be told in the app or the store before it applies.

9. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by Finnish law. If you're a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and can take a dispute to the courts there. Please write to me first: most problems can be sorted out by email.
