1. Introduction
Welcome to Chordoo. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Chordoo website at www.chordoo.com and all related services (the "Service"), operated by Louis-Frédéric Fortier ("we", "us", "our").
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
2. Description of the Service
Chordoo is an online chord progression generator that allows users to create, customize, and export chord progressions as MIDI files. The Service includes:
- Chord generation, voicing control, and MIDI and WAV export, free of charge
- A library to save progressions locally in your browser, and shareable links
- A blog with music production resources
3. Free Use, No Accounts
Chordoo is free to use and does not require an account. There are no subscriptions or payments.
Progressions you save are stored only in your own browser. We do not keep a copy, so clearing your browser data or switching devices will remove them unless you export a backup. You are responsible for keeping any backups you need.
4. Intellectual Property
Your Content
You retain full ownership of the chord progressions and MIDI files you create using Chordoo. We claim no intellectual property rights over your generated content. You are free to use your exported progressions for any purpose, including commercial projects, without attribution.
Our Content
The Chordoo name, logo, website design, blog content, and underlying software are the property of Louis-Frédéric Fortier and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the Service without our prior written consent.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
- Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the Service without our consent
- Resell or redistribute access to the Service
We reserve the right to restrict access for anyone who violates these terms.
6. Service Availability & Modifications
We strive to keep Chordoo available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Service at any time.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Louis-Frédéric Fortier shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service.
The Service is provided free of charge and "as is", without warranties of any kind. This includes progressions stored in your browser, which we cannot recover if they are lost.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
8. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of France, without regard to conflict of law principles.
