• You are at least 18 years old
• You have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms

Lyra Studio is a studio management platform for music teachers. The Service includes:

• Scheduling — calendar management and booking tools
• Payments — invoicing and payment processing through Stripe
• Video Lessons — integrated video conferencing for remote teaching
• AI Features — lesson transcription, summaries, and progress tracking (Pro tier)
• Student Management — student profiles, notes, and communication tools

We continually improve and update the Service. Features may be added, modified, or removed. We'll provide reasonable notice for significant changes.

Account Security

You're responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials
• All activity that occurs under your account
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access

We recommend using a strong, unique password and enabling two-factor authentication when available.

Account Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep it updated. We may suspend accounts with obviously false information.

One Account Per Person

Each account is for a single user. Don't share accounts or create multiple accounts to circumvent limits or fees.

Pricing Tiers

Lyra Studio offers multiple subscription tiers with different features and limits. Current pricing is displayed on our website and in the app. Prices are in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

Billing

• Monthly plans are billed each month on your signup date
• Annual plans are billed once per year and offer a discount
• All fees are non-refundable except as required by law or stated in these Terms

Free Trial

We may offer free trials for paid tiers. After the trial ends, you'll be charged for the subscription unless you cancel. We'll remind you before your trial ends.

Price Changes

We may change prices with 30 days' notice. Price changes won't affect your current billing period. If you disagree with a price change, you can cancel before the new price takes effect.

Payment Processing

Payments are processed through Stripe. By using paid features, you also agree to Stripe's terms of service. We don't store your full credit card information.

Ownership

You own your content. Lesson recordings, student data, notes, and any other content you create or upload remains yours. We don't claim ownership of your content.

License to Operate

By using Lyra Studio, you grant us a limited license to:

• Store, backup, and display your content to you and authorized users (like your students' parents)
• Process lesson recordings through AI to generate summaries and insights
• Use anonymized, aggregated data to improve the Service (never individual identifiable data)

Your Responsibilities

You're responsible for:

• Ensuring you have the right to upload and share any content
• Getting appropriate consent from students (or parents/guardians for minors) before recording lessons
• Complying with privacy laws in your jurisdiction
• Backing up important data—while we maintain backups, we recommend keeping your own copies

Data Export

You can export your data at any time. We provide tools to download your student records, lesson history, and other content in standard formats.

You agree not to:

• Use Lyra Studio for anything illegal or harmful
• Upload content that infringes intellectual property rights
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other users' accounts
• Use the Service to send spam or unsolicited communications
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code
• Use automated tools to scrape or extract data
• Resell or redistribute the Service without permission
• Use the Service in a way that could damage our reputation

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these guidelines.

Lyra Studio's code, design, logos, and documentation are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute our materials without permission.

The Lyra name and logo are trademarks. You may not use them without our written consent, except to truthfully describe your use of our Service.

If you believe content on Lyra Studio infringes your intellectual property, contact us at legal@lyrastudio.io with details.

By You

You can cancel your account at any time from your account settings. Upon cancellation:

• You'll retain access until the end of your current billing period
• You can export your data before the account is fully closed
• After 30 days, your data will be permanently deleted

By Us

We may suspend or terminate your account if you:

• Violate these Terms
• Engage in fraudulent or illegal activity
• Fail to pay applicable fees after notice

We'll provide reasonable notice when possible, except in cases of serious violations.

Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that should survive termination (like liability limitations and dispute resolution) will continue to apply.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties, express or implied, including:

• That the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free
• That defects will be corrected
• That the Service is free of viruses or harmful components
• The accuracy or reliability of any information obtained through the Service

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
• Our total liability for any claims related to the Service is limited to the amount you've paid us in the past 12 months
• We're not liable for any loss of data, profits, or business opportunities

Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you.

Informal Resolution First

Before filing any formal dispute, please contact us at legal@lyrastudio.io. Most issues can be resolved quickly through direct communication. We commit to responding within 10 business days.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Arbitration

If we can't resolve a dispute informally, you agree to resolve it through binding arbitration rather than in court, except for claims that may be brought in small claims court. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

Class Action Waiver

You agree to resolve disputes with us individually and not as part of a class action or representative proceeding.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make significant changes:

• We'll notify you by email at least 30 days before changes take effect
• We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
• We'll provide a summary of key changes

Continued use of Lyra Studio after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. If you disagree with changes, you may cancel your account before they take effect.
