Terms & Conditions — version 2026-09-15
Effective 2026-09-15. This is an archived version, reproduced exactly as it was published. The version in force today is at Terms & Conditions.
You must now be 18 or over to hold an account (it was 16). Adds a section explaining that agreeing to the terms is separate from choosing to share your details with partners, and that we keep a record of what you agreed to.
# Terms & Conditions **Version 2026-09-15 — effective 15 September 2026** These terms govern your use of Jamtrackers (the "Service"), operated by Parker Siddall, an independent sole proprietor based in California, United States. By creating an account you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the Service. ## 1. Who can use Jamtrackers **You must be 18 or over to create an account.** By registering you confirm that you are, and that the information you provide is accurate. Jamtrackers is not intended for under-18s, and we close any account we find belongs to one. ## 2. Your account You're responsible for keeping your password confidential and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us at jamtrackers@gmail.com if you believe someone else has accessed it. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, is used unlawfully, or is used in a way that harms the Service or other users. You can delete your account at any time by contacting us. ## 3. Acceptable use Don't use the Service to: - break any law, or infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights; - upload malicious code, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, its infrastructure, or other users' accounts; - scrape, harvest, or bulk-download content except as permitted by our robots directives; - place unreasonable load on the Service through automated requests; - post content that is unlawful, abusive, harassing, hateful, or deliberately misleading. ## 4. Content you provide You keep ownership of anything you upload — audio, profile details, or other material. By uploading it you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display it for the purpose of operating and improving the Service. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except where we're required to retain it by law. You confirm that you have the rights necessary to upload anything you upload, and that doing so doesn't infringe anyone else's rights. We may remove content that breaches these terms or that we're legally required to remove. ## 5. YouTube content Play-alongs on Jamtrackers are videos hosted on YouTube and published by their respective creators. We don't host, store, or redistribute those videos — they are embedded and played through YouTube's own player. Your use of embedded videos is also governed by the YouTube Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy. All rights in those videos remain with their creators and rights holders. If you're a rights holder and believe content is linked or embedded improperly, contact us at jamtrackers@gmail.com and we'll respond promptly. ## 6. Automated musical analysis Chord changes, key and tempo detection, scale suggestions, and practice tips on Jamtrackers are generated automatically, including by AI systems. They are provided for practice purposes and **may be incomplete or wrong**. Don't rely on them as authoritative transcriptions — for performance, recording, examination, or publication, verify by ear or against an official source. We make no warranty as to their musical accuracy. ## 7. Our content Jamtrackers' own material — the site, its design, its chord and scale reference charts, and its software — belongs to us or our licensors. You may use it for your own personal, non-commercial practice. You may not copy, redistribute, or build a competing service from it without permission. ## 8. Your data, and your choices about it How we handle personal data is set out in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. Please read it — it is short, and the part about partners is the part most worth reading. Two things are worth stating here as well: **Agreeing to these terms is not agreement to share your data with partners.** They are separate decisions, deliberately kept separate. Sharing your details with music-industry partners — including your email address and the name and photo on your profile, which means partners may contact you directly — happens only if you have specifically opted in, and never otherwise. Every feature of Jamtrackers works identically whether you say yes or no. We will never make the Service worse, slower, or more expensive because of how you answered, and you can change your answer at any time in Settings or at /do-not-sell. **We keep a record of what you agreed to.** When you accept these terms or change a privacy choice, we store the version you were shown, the wording that was next to the button, the date and time, and your IP address and browser user-agent. That record exists so that both of us can establish what was agreed, and it isn't used for anything else. ## 9. Availability Jamtrackers is provided "as is" and "as available". We don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular track or feature will remain available. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. ## 10. Limitation of liability To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, loss of data, or loss of profit arising from your use of the Service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you're using the Service as a consumer, your statutory rights under the law of your country of residence are unaffected. ## 11. Changes to these terms We may update these terms. Every version is archived and remains readable at `/legal/versions/terms/<version>`. For changes that materially affect your rights or how we use your personal data, we will ask you to agree to the new version before it applies to you. We will not treat your continued use of the site as agreement to a change of that kind. For smaller changes, we'll give reasonable notice through the Service and update the version and date above. ## 12. Governing law These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. If you're a consumer resident in the EU or UK, you also benefit from the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your country of residence, and may bring proceedings there. ## 13.
