1. What Musicatea provides
Musicatea helps students, performers, and teachers explore Arabic music through sheet music, score previews, maqamat, rhythms, listening examples, and educational material. Some features require an account or have an allowance explained alongside the feature.
The Android app connects to the online service. An internet connection and a compatible device/browser are needed for online features; your network provider may charge for data. Website content can be updated without a new app installation, while changes to the Android package require an app update.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must be able to enter into these terms under the laws that apply to you. If you are a minor, use the service with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian where required. Do not create an account if local law does not allow you to do so.
Provide accurate account information, keep your sign-in credentials secure, and do not impersonate others or share access to bypass limits. Contact us if you suspect unauthorized use. You are responsible for your own actions; these terms do not make you automatically responsible for activity outside your reasonable control.
3. Permitted use and music rights
You may browse the service and use the viewing and download features made available to you for lawful personal learning and practice. For material owned by Musicatea, we grant a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission for that purpose, subject to any specific licence displayed with the material.
Compositions, lyrics, recordings, arrangements, images, and other third-party works remain subject to their respective owners’ rights. Access to a score or a download does not transfer ownership or grant performance, recording, redistribution, resale, or commercial-use rights. Obtain any permissions required for your intended use. Nothing here limits uses permitted by law, public-domain rights, or a separate open licence.
Do not remove attribution or copyright notices, republish the library, resell files, or misrepresent authorship. If you believe material infringes your rights, email us with the page URL, identification of the work, your relationship to the rights holder, and contact details so we can investigate.
4. Acceptable use
Do not use the service for unlawful activity, harassment, fraud, spam, or uploading harmful code. Do not access another person’s account, interfere with the service, extract private information, overload our systems, or circumvent authentication, download restrictions, or other access controls. These restrictions do not prohibit activities that applicable law expressly permits.
5. Downloads, prices, and optional services
The initial Android release is free to install and does not offer in-app purchases or subscriptions. Available PDFs may require sign-in. A free download does not grant broader music rights than described above.
Where the website separately offers a paid product or service, its description, price, currency, delivery arrangements, and any subscription, cancellation, or refund conditions must be presented before you order. You are not charged merely for browsing or creating an account. These terms do not create a subscription or authorize future charges.
Applicable statutory rights, including cancellation, remedies for faulty digital content, and refunds where required, remain unaffected. Contact us with any order or download problem. Any optional payment is governed by the terms shown for that transaction in addition to these terms.
6. Requests and messages
When sending a request, correction, or other material, send only what you are entitled to share and avoid unnecessary personal information about others. You retain your rights in your submissions and allow us to use them only as reasonably necessary to review and respond to your request. Sending a request does not guarantee that a score or other content will be created or published.
7. Privacy and external services
Our Privacy Policy explains the handling of personal information, cookies, and relevant third-party services. Accepting these terms does not itself give consent to optional analytics, advertising, or marketing.
External websites and services have their own terms. Google Play governs distribution through its store; these terms govern your use of Musicatea. External links do not imply endorsement, and your mandatory rights against us remain unaffected.
8. Accuracy, availability, and responsibility
We aim to provide useful and accurate educational material, but transcriptions, metadata, and explanations can contain errors. Please report corrections. We do not promise a particular learning outcome or uninterrupted, error-free operation.
We remain responsible to the extent required by applicable law. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence where protected by law, or any other liability or consumer guarantee that cannot lawfully be excluded. We do not impose a blanket waiver of your legal remedies.
9. Stopping use and account restrictions
You may stop using Musicatea at any time. You can request account deletion through the available account controls or by contacting us. Deletion and any legally required retention are handled as explained in the Privacy Policy and applicable law.
We may proportionately restrict access where reasonably necessary to address a material breach, a security risk, or a legal requirement. Where practical and lawful, we will explain the reason and give an opportunity to resolve the issue. You can contact us to ask for a review. Restrictions do not remove rights relating to an existing paid order.
10. Changes to the service and these terms
We may make reasonable changes for maintenance, security, legal requirements, or product improvements. We will update the date on this page and provide appropriate notice of material changes before they take effect where required. Changes do not retrospectively remove rights already acquired. Where consent is required by law, we will request it; otherwise you can stop using the service if you do not accept the changes.
11. Your legal rights and resolving concerns
Please contact us first so we can try to resolve a concern, but doing so is not a condition for exercising your rights. These terms do not remove mandatory protections in your country of residence, require private arbitration, or prevent you from using competent courts or consumer authorities. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions apply only to the extent lawful. The Arabic and English versions are intended to have the same meaning; any discrepancy must be resolved consistently with applicable law and mandatory consumer protections.
