Terms of Service
Last updated: March 20261. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Root Notes, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the application.
2. Description of Service
Root Notes is a songwriting tool that provides chord generation, voice leading, audio recording, and project management features. When signed in, your content is synced across devices via cloud storage. The service is provided "as is" and may be updated or modified at any time.
3. Accounts
You may create an account using an email address and password or by signing in with Google. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You may delete your account at any time from your account settings, which will remove your cloud-stored data.
4. Subscriptions & Billing
Root Notes offers free and paid subscription tiers. Paid plans, when available, are billed through Stripe. Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period. You may cancel at any time from your account settings or through the Stripe customer portal. Upon cancellation, you retain access to paid features until the end of your current billing period, after which your account reverts to the free tier. We reserve the right to change subscription pricing with reasonable notice. Price changes will not affect your current billing period. All fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.
5. Your Content
You retain full ownership of all musical content, lyrics, audio recordings, and projects you create with Root Notes. Your content is stored locally on your device and, when you are signed in, synced to cloud storage. We do not claim any rights to your content. We access your cloud-stored content only as necessary to provide and operate the service. Content you delete is moved to trash and permanently deleted after 30 days. We recommend keeping local copies of important content. If you submit feedback or feature requests through the community feedback board, your display name and submission content will be visible to other signed-in users. We reserve the right to moderate or remove community submissions.

You agree to use Root Notes for lawful purposes only. You may not attempt to reverse-engineer, disrupt, or exploit the application beyond its intended use.

8. Limitation of Liability
Root Notes is provided without warranty. We are not liable for any loss of data, interruption of service, or damages arising from the use of the application. While we take reasonable measures to protect your cloud-stored data, we do not guarantee that data stored in the cloud will be free from loss or corruption. We recommend keeping local copies of important content.

We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use of Root Notes after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
