Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Koraii, an individual entrepreneur (entreprise individuelle, EI) established in France, SIREN 849 827 894, 149 avenue du Maine, 75014 Paris, France ("Practice Timer", "we", "us", "our"). They govern your access to and use of the Practice Timer mobile app and the website at practicetimer.app (together, the "Service").
By downloading, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you are a consumer, accepting these Terms does not affect your mandatory statutory rights (see sections 11 and 17).
The short version
- Practice Timer helps musicians plan, time, and track practice. Using the app requires a paid Pro subscription, with a 3-day free trial on the yearly plan.
- You get a personal, non-commercial licence to use the app. Don't copy, resell, or tamper with it.
- Your practice content is yours, and most of it stays on your device. Back it up.
- The Service is provided "as is." Our liability is limited — but your mandatory consumer rights under French and EU law are not affected.
- These Terms are governed by French law. EU/EEA consumers keep the protections of their home country.
This summary is for convenience only and is not part of the Terms. The full text below governs.
1. Who can use the Service
You must be at least 13 years old to use Practice Timer. Where the law of your country sets a higher age for consenting on your own to online services — for example 15 in France — and you are below that age, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf. If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to accept these Terms for it, and "you" includes that organisation.
2. Your account
Some features require an account, created through our authentication provider. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information and for keeping your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account, except to the extent caused by our breach of these Terms or by an event outside your reasonable control. Notify us promptly at contact@practicetimer.app if you suspect any unauthorised use of your account.
3. The Service and Pro subscription
Practice Timer helps musicians plan, time, and track practice sessions. Using the app requires a paid "Pro" subscription; new users can try it free for 3 days on the yearly plan.
- A Pro subscription gives you full access to the app: unlimited practice sessions, unlimited plan editing, full history, and the complete progress dashboard.
- The 3-day free trial (yearly plan only) gives full access to Pro. After the trial ends, or on the monthly plan, a paid subscription is required to keep using the app.
Pricing, billing, the free trial, automatic renewal, and cancellation are described in the Subscription Terms, which form part of these Terms. We may add, change, or discontinue features of the app over time; if we make a change that materially and adversely affects paid features you are actively using, you may cancel and, where the law requires, receive a pro-rata refund of any prepaid, unused amount.
4. Licence
Subject to these Terms and the applicable app store's terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to download and use the Service on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial practice. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- copy, modify, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the Service, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law (including your mandatory rights to interoperability and to study software);
- rent, lease, resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service;
- circumvent or attempt to circumvent the subscription entitlement system, free trial, security measures, usage limits, or rate limits;
- use the Service to break the law, infringe others' rights, or transmit unlawful, infringing, or harmful material;
- access the Service by automated means (scraping, bots) other than as we expressly permit, or use it to build a competing product;
- interfere with, overload, or disrupt the Service or the infrastructure that supports it.
6. Your content & feedback
The practice plans, exercise names, and session data you create are your content ("Your Content"), and most of it is stored on your device (see the Privacy Policy). You are responsible for Your Content and for keeping your own backups. By signing in, you authorise us to store and sync the limited data described in the Privacy Policy solely to provide the Service. We do not claim ownership of Your Content.
Feedback. If you send us suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use it without restriction or obligation to you. Feedback is given voluntarily and is not confidential.
7. Intellectual property
The Service — including the Practice Timer name, logo, design, text, and software — is owned by Koraii or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. The fonts, libraries, and other third-party materials we use remain the property of their respective owners and may be subject to their own licences. Except for the licence in section 4, these Terms grant you no rights in our or our licensors' intellectual property.
8. Educational & health disclaimer
Practice Timer references published research to design its practice method and provides general information and tools to structure practice. It is not a teacher and does not provide medical, healthcare, or other professional advice. We do not guarantee any particular musical result, skill outcome, or rate of improvement. Practise responsibly: warm up, take breaks, and stop and seek qualified advice if you experience pain, strain, or discomfort.
9. Third-party services
The Service relies on third parties (including the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the providers listed in our Privacy Policy). Your use of those services is governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for them. We are not liable for failures or losses caused solely by a third-party service outside our reasonable control, without prejudice to your mandatory rights against us.
10. Updates & availability
We may release updates, bug fixes, and new versions of the app, which may be installed automatically through your app store. Some updates may be required for the Service to keep working. We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we may perform maintenance or suspend parts of the Service temporarily.
11. Statutory consumer guarantees
If you are a consumer, you benefit from mandatory legal guarantees that these Terms do not exclude or limit, including, under French law, the legal guarantee of conformity (garantie légale de conformité, Articles L.217-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code), which applies to digital content and digital services, and the guarantee against hidden defects (garantie des vices cachés, Articles 1641 et seq. of the French Civil Code). These guarantees entitle you to have a non-conforming digital service brought into conformity, or to a price reduction or refund, free of charge, in the cases provided by law. Consumers in other EU/EEA countries benefit from the equivalent guarantees under their national law. Nothing in these Terms (including sections 12 and 13) affects these rights.
12. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND SUBJECT TO SECTION 11, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA WILL NEVER BE LOST.
The disclaimers in this section do not apply to, and nothing in these Terms excludes or limits, your mandatory consumer rights or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
13. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PRACTICE TIMER AND ITS SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) EUR 100.
Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for: death or personal injury caused by our negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; gross negligence or wilful misconduct (faute lourde ou dolosive); breach of your mandatory statutory consumer rights (section 11); or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. If you are a consumer, the limitations above apply only to the extent permitted by the law of your country of residence.
14. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, and except where you are a consumer acting outside any trade, business, craft, or profession, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Koraii from and against third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising out of your unlawful use of the Service or your breach of these Terms.
15. Suspension & termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time (Settings → Delete account). Deleting your account does not by itself cancel an active store subscription — see the Subscription Terms.
We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Where reasonably practicable and lawful, we will give you notice and an opportunity to remedy the issue first. If we terminate your access without good cause and you have paid for a subscription, we will refund any prepaid, unused portion. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including sections 6–8 and 11–19 — will survive.
16. Changes to the Service & Terms
We may modify the Service or these Terms. For changes to the Terms that are not purely minor, we will update the effective date and provide reasonable advance notice (for example, by in-app notice or email). Changes will not apply retroactively. If you do not agree to a change, you may stop using the Service and, where applicable, cancel your subscription before the change takes effect; continued use after the change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
17. Governing law, consumer rights & disputes
These Terms and any dispute relating to them or to the Service are governed by French law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA, this choice of law does not deprive you of the mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country. We will bring any claim against a consumer only in the courts of the consumer's country of residence.
Amicable resolution. Please contact us first at contact@practicetimer.app so we can try to resolve any issue.
Other users. If you are not a consumer, or to the extent not prohibited by the law applicable to you, the courts of Paris, France, will have exclusive jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable statutory rights you have.
18. Apple App Store & Google Play
If you obtained the app through the Apple App Store or Google Play, the applicable store's terms also apply, and these Terms are between you and Koraii, not the store. The following additional terms apply to apps obtained from the Apple App Store:
- Acknowledgement. These Terms are between you and Koraii only, not Apple. Koraii, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
- Scope of licence. The licence granted in section 4 is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the app on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the app may be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
- Maintenance and support. Koraii is solely responsible for providing maintenance and support for the app. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services.
- Warranty. Koraii is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the app; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
- Product claims. Koraii, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app or your use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer-protection or similar legislation.
- Intellectual-property claims. In the event of any third-party claim that the app or your use of it infringes that party's intellectual-property rights, Koraii, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
- Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist-supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.
- Contact. Questions, complaints, or claims regarding the app should be directed to Koraii at contact@practicetimer.app, 149 avenue du Maine, 75014 Paris, France.
If you obtained the app through Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service apply in addition to these Terms, and the store is not responsible for the app or its support.
19. General terms
Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control (including acts of God, outages, network or third-party-provider failures, strikes, or government measures), without prejudice to your mandatory consumer rights.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets; if we do, your rights under these Terms and applicable law will not be reduced, and we will give you notice where required.
Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted by law.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Subscription Terms, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and replace any prior agreement on its subject matter. This does not exclude liability for fraud.
Notices. We may provide notices to you in the app, by email, or by posting on practicetimer.app. You may contact us at contact@practicetimer.app.
Language. These Terms are provided in English.
