Terms of use

Who provides IPT

IPT is made and operated by Sugar Land Collective LLC, a Texas limited liability company, trading as SL Collective.

Contact: support@iptmusic.com. Mail sent there is read by a person. There is no support form and no ticket number.

What an account is

An IPT account costs $4.99 once, for one person. On the web you make an account first and buy from inside the app at app.iptmusic.com; iptmusic.com is the information page and has nothing to buy on it. Bought inside the iPhone app it costs the App Store's price for your country, set by Apple. That is a price tier rather than a currency conversion, so it is not the same number as $4.99. Either way it does not renew and it is never billed again. With it you can create studios, join studios with a code an instructor gives you, log practice, record short audio clips, and read whatever your own studio shows you.

An App Store purchase is a purchase from Apple, and Apple's terms apply to the payment itself, including refunds. Refunds says exactly who does what.

You can use one account on every device you sign in on. It is yours, not a device's.

Trying IPT needs no account at all: the demo studio is the whole app with seeded data and it is free and unlimited.

Who may use it

IPT is built for school and studio music programs, which means many of the people using it are minors.

• If you are 13 or older, you may create an account yourself.
• If you are under 13, an account may only be created for you by a school or program acting under its own parental-consent process, or by a parent or guardian directly. IPT relies on the school-consent route described in the privacy policy, and a program using IPT is confirming it has that consent.

An instructor who invites performers into a studio is responsible for having the standing to do so within their program.

What you agree to do, and not do

• Do not upload a recording of somebody who has not agreed to be recorded. This is the one that matters most, and it is the one a school will ask about. Clips are heard by your instructor and by nobody else outside your studio.
• Do not use IPT to harass anybody. Instructors can write a line back on a recording and can send a performer a note; both are for teaching.
• Do not try to reach data belonging to a studio you are not in, or to grant yourself an account you have not paid for. The server refuses both, and attempting it is a reason to close an account.
• Do not resell IPT accounts or share one account between several people.

What we promise, and what we do not

We will run IPT with care, keep it available, and answer support mail with a person.

What you keep if IPT ever stops. Everything IPT holds about you can be exported from inside the app, today and on any day, as a file a spreadsheet opens (You → Export): every session, note, assignment and a link to each recording. That is not a promise for a rainy day, it is a button that already works, and it is the honest answer to a price paid once for something that lives on a server.

We do not promise that it will never be unavailable. It runs on infrastructure we do not own, in band halls with connections we do not control, and it is an app made by a small company rather than an obligation of a school district.

Your practice history is not held hostage, ever. Whatever happens to billing, the practice that has been logged stays logged and stays readable by the studio it belongs to. A refund does not take it away and a lapsed school address does not either. That is a design decision written into the software itself, not only a promise here. The one thing that erases it is you deleting your account, which is described below.

To the extent the law allows, IPT is provided as it is, and our liability for anything arising out of using it is limited to what you actually paid for it, which is $4.99 or the price your own App Store charged you.

Refunds

Ask, and you get your money back. The whole policy, including what a refund does and does not change, is in Refunds.

Ending an account

You can delete your account from inside the app, on either client. Deleting removes your profile, every session you logged, and every recording you made, from every studio you were in. Nothing of yours stays in a studio's record afterwards: its standings and its season summary stop counting you from that moment. If you own a studio, it is deleted with you, along with everything anybody logged in it, and the app says in numbers how much that is before it does anything. None of this can be undone. The privacy policy says the same thing in its own words, and the two are meant to agree.

We may close an account that is being used to harass somebody or to attack the service. We will say why.

Changes

If these terms change in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and the new version is published here before it takes effect. Small corrections happen without ceremony.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law rules.
