Terms of Service

Effective 2026-09-20

These are the terms for using the BandBinder app and website. We've written them in plain language on purpose. The short version: the free app is really free, subscriptions are billed by Stripe when you buy on our website or by Apple when you buy in the iOS app, you can cancel anytime, your content stays yours, and you're responsible for having the rights to what you import.

Who we are

BandBinder is operated by Diligent Design and Consulting Incorporated, a British Columbia, Canada company. Questions about these terms: contact support.

The free app

The free tier is the full app - unlimited songs, setlists, and offline Performance Mode - on every supported device, forever, with no ads. It is not a trial and these terms never convert it into one.

Subscriptions

Solo Plus and the Band Plan are paid subscriptions, billed monthly or annually. The Band Plan is priced per band, never per member - members join free with a band code. Additional bands you lead can be added to a Band Plan for an add-on price.

Subscriptions are sold in two places, and where you bought yours decides who bills you. Bought on our website: payments are processed by Stripe, we never see or store your card number, prices shown at checkout are what you pay, and founder pricing stays locked in for as long as your subscription remains active and lapses if the subscription ends. Bought inside the iOS app: the subscription is an Apple in-app purchase, billed to your Apple Account at the price Apple shows you, and Apple's own terms for in-app purchases apply alongside these. Either way, the subscription belongs to your BandBinder account and is honoured on every platform you sign in on.

Cancelling

Cancel anytime. If you subscribed on our website, cancel from the billing page. If you subscribed inside the iOS app, cancel in your Apple subscription settings (on your iPhone or iPad: Settings > your name > Subscriptions); deleting your BandBinder account does not cancel an Apple subscription. Cancelling stops future renewals; whatever period you've already paid for stays active until it ends. When a subscription ends, nothing is taken away from your devices: your library stays readable and exportable everywhere, forever - sync and the paid features simply pause. Refund questions: for a website subscription, contact support; for an Apple in-app purchase, refunds are handled by Apple. Nothing in these terms limits any refund rights you have under applicable law.

Your content

The charts, setlists, and notes you create or import are yours. You give us permission to store them and transmit them - to your own devices, and to your band members where you've shared them - solely to run the service. We don't sell your content and we don't claim any ownership of it.

Copyright

BandBinder does not supply lyrics or charts; everything in your library is content you imported or wrote. You're responsible for having the right to the material you import and share. If you believe content stored through BandBinder infringes your rights, contact support and we'll respond promptly.

Bands

Content shared to a band's library is visible to every member of that band. The band manager controls membership. When you leave a band, you keep your own content; the band keeps the shared library.

Your account

Keep your sign-in method secure and your email reachable - it's how we contact you about your subscription. An account is for one person; a band code is how the rest of the band joins.

Acceptable use

Don't attempt to break, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the service, and don't use it to infringe anyone else's rights.

The service itself

We build BandBinder so a gig never depends on us: Performance Mode runs entirely offline from your device's own library. That's by design, because no online service can promise perfect uptime, and we don't. The service is provided as-is; to the extent the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to what you've paid us in the twelve months before a claim.

Ending or changing things

You can delete your account at any time - see the account deletion page; export is always available first. We can suspend accounts that break these terms. We may update these terms as the product grows; if a change materially affects a paid subscription, we'll tell you before it applies. These terms are governed by the laws of Canada.
