These terms of use (the "Agreement") are a legal and binding agreement between you ("you", "your", and "yourself") and QiiU Systems Inc. operating as String Masters ("we", "us", "our", and "String Masters"). This Agreement governs your use of the String Masters website, https://www.stringmasters.com/ (the "Site"), together with all the information, Content (herein defined), products, materials, and services made available through the Site (collectively, the "Services").

Please read this Agreement carefully because your use of the Services constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you object to anything in this Agreement do not use the Services.

1. Changes to this Agreement

This Agreement is subject to change at the sole discretion of String Masters with or without notice. The changes are effective as of the date of posting. Continued use of the Site and/or Services constitutes agreement to abide by the most recent version of this Agreement.

2. About our Services

2.1 Definitions

String Masters is an online tool that uniquely provides string musicians a platform on which to hone their craft.

"Content" means any and all text, graphics, logos, images, videos, audio, sound clips, digitized sheet music, and the selection and arrangement thereof, the look and feel of the Site, any software on the Site, and source and object code of the Site, all of which is proprietary to String Masters. Content expressly excludes externally sourced public domain works.

"Member(s)" means subscribing Users who, on an annual basis, pays the monthly fee to have access to all of the offered Service (including "Instructor Members" and "Student Members").

"User(s)" means non subscribing Users of the Site and Services. Users may peruse the String Masters Site and may take a paid private lesson from an Instructor Member if invited. The lesson is recorded but access to the recording and any resources used during the lesson are not available after the lesson until the User becomes a Member. None of the other features of the Site and Services, including access to the String Masters Library, are available to Users until they become a Member.

2.2 Features

We provide Users with several unique ways to engage with String Masters:

  1. "Music Lessons" -- sign up as an instructor or as a student and pair up to achieve your musical goals. As a non-member User, you may accept invitations for lessons from music instructors. Your lessons will be recorded, but as a non-member the recording of your lesson will not be reviewable. However, should a User decide to become a Member after taking private lessons, recording of previous lessons will become accessible.

  2. "Master Lessons" -- schedule private online lessons with world-class string musicians. These sessions are both live and recorded so Members can revisit their lessons time and time again.

  3. "Membership" -- subscribe to String Masters as a Student Member or Instructor Member on our monthly subscription plan and get access to:

    • The "String Masters Library" -- a massive library comprising proprietary, licensed, and public domain works, sheet music, recorded Master Classes, études and learning tools that members can peruse and enjoy in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

    • Your "Private Collection" -- a space where Members can upload Member Generated Content for future reference, use and enjoyment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

    • Your "Binder(s)" -- collections of Content, notes, Member Generated Content (etc.) that you have accessed during your Music Lessons or while perusing the Site that you wish to save in your Private Collection. For Members' convenience and future reference, items specifically accessed during Music Lessons will be saved in "Lesson Binder(s)" which are automatically organized by instructor.

    • "String Masters Studio" -- a feature only available to Instructor Members enabling Instructor Members to track and manage their students (both Student Members and pay-as-you-go learners).

  4. "Master Class" -- a rare opportunity to learn from a renowned musician in your discipline. Master Classes are recorded and saved in the String Masters Library for future reference.

3. Membership and Registration

Membership is provided on a month-to-month basis, but the fee is paid once annually in advance of the subscribing year. We verify Membership by email confirmation at the email address you provide when you subscribe. Students who are less than the age of 18 must have their parent or guardian sign up on their behalf.
