Terms of Service

Effective 15 October 2026

1. The service

Sonare provides online music-studio administration, lesson records, student portals and practice features. These terms apply to studio accounts and authorised users.

2. Accounts and authority

Account holders must provide accurate information, protect credentials and use Sonare lawfully. Studio administrators control teacher invitations and student assignments. Studios must have appropriate authority to upload information about students, including children.

3. Studio content

Studios remain responsible for the accuracy, appropriateness and rights to any materials, lesson notes or links they provide. They grant Sonare permission to store and process that content solely to operate and support the service.

4. Plans, trials and billing

Sonare advertises Solo (up to 10 students), Studio (up to 30 students) and Studio Plus (up to 60 students) plans. Current prices and trial details appear in the subscription screen. Where paid billing is available, checkout and billing management are operated by Paddle. Our Refund Policy explains refund requests and cancellation. Paddle’s buyer terms and refund policy also apply to purchases, subject to mandatory consumer rights.

5. Availability and changes

We aim to provide a dependable service but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. Features may change as the product develops. We will endeavour to give reasonable notice of material service changes.

6. Acceptable use

Do not misuse Sonare, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, or submit unlawful or infringing content. We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect users and the service.

7. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal information.

8. Ending service

Studio owners can manage billing through the available subscription portal. For help with account closure or data requests, contact us using the address below.

9. Legal rights

Nothing in these terms excludes rights that cannot legally be excluded, including applicable New Zealand consumer rights. Sonare Studio is operated by George Bonner, a New Zealand sole trader. New Zealand law governs these terms, subject to mandatory consumer protections.
