Agreement
If you are a teacher or instructor who teaches or supervises students in kindergarten through 12th grade and are using this program in a classroom in your school or in a music program in your school sponsored by the school (like band or orchestra or chorus), then this license agreement is for you. If you are not using the program in a school classroom or school program teacher on instructor, please click HERE.

IF YOU TEACH OR INSTRUCT STUDENTS WHO ARE UNDER THE AGE OF THIRTEEN . . .
If you teach or instruct students who are under the age of thirteen, those students cannot use Music Prodigy without the written okay of their parent or guardian. Your school has agreed to get that written okay from a parent or guardian of each of your students. If you think that your school hasn’t done so, please check with your program leader and ask them to be sure to obtain your students’ parent or guardian’s written consent. If that still doesn’t happen, Please let us know right away by writing us at: info@musicprodigy.com.
HOW THIS WORKS
– The License
Your school or school district has paid Music Prodigy a license fee so that you can use Music Prodigy software for free while your school’s license is current. This software is licensed to you, not sold to you. The license is for a limited amount of time, in this case no longer than one year. At the end of the upcoming or just-started academic year (or the end of the current school year if the school year has already begun), the license will end and you won’t be able to access the software again, or the data on it, unless your school, pays us a new license fee for another year.
Once the license ends, you won’t be able to access any of the information you entered into our system, including your performance data, any playbacks of your performances or any of your own music, quiz questions, or other material that you may have uploaded. We may store that information, or we may delete it, at our option.
HOW MUSIC PRODIGY WORKS
– Setup
Step 1: Download the Music Prodigy software to your computer. You’ll be able to find it on our website if you’re using a Mac or PC, or through the App Store or Google Play Store. Or your school may provide you a link. If you school or school district has a license with us, the software is free for music instructors or music teachers who work at that school or in that school district to download.
Step 2: Launch the software. If it’s your first time using it, you will be asked to create an account by choosing a user name and password. Don’t use your name, the name of your school, or other easily guessed words or numbers (like 1234) for your password.
n If you’ve already registered, enter your user name and password and use the software.
n
You are
not allowed to give your user name and password to anyone else or permit anyone
else to use it. If we believe you have done so, we reserve the right to cancel
your account and delete all of your information. We may also bar you from
setting up a new account in the future.
Step 3: Once you’re logged in, you may create courses, upload lesson materials, invite students to your class, and/or assign musical pieces to your students or create quizzes for your class (depending your specific subscription).
We will also be able to see the performances of your students, but we will not share this information with anyone other than you, the student, the school administration or with the parent or guardian of a student if they request to see it.
We may “aggregate” your data with that of others who use our software, including students, teachers and instructors. That means that we might combine your performance data with that of others to see how different groups performed a whole. We may share this aggregated data with other parties outside your school.
WHAT YOU MAY DO AND MAY
NOT DO WITH OUR MUSIC PRODIGY SOFTWARE
DO: Practice music given to you by your school, school program or uploaded by you or that is already made available to you through Music Prodigy. In addition to asking your students to complete lessons or exercises in the software, you may in some cases, depending on your account, be able to upload your own music to play or have your students play If you intend to upload content to Music Prodigy, please read the limits to what you can and cannot upload below.. If you do upload material you have created, you do so at your own risk. We do not promise you that you’re your music will be secure or that it will not be stolen, seen or used by someone else without your consent.
UPLOAD FEATURE MAY NOT YET BE AVAILABLE. If you cannot upload material, it may mean that this feature has not been installed yet on the version of the software you have or may have been excluded for other reasons. Please check with you teacher or school to see when it might be available
MARKET PLACE. Under a planned upgrade for Music Prodigy, you may be able at some point in the future to license your own music (music you originated solely on your own without copying anyone else’s music) to others for a fee paid to you. When Marketplace becomes active, you agree to be subject to the Market Place Rules, which will be posted on the Music Prodigy website.
DON’T: You aren’t allowed to give, lend or license our software or other materials to anyone else.
You aren’t allowed to upload music or any other material that belongs to someone else or is copyrighted by someone else unless you have written permission from the copyright owner to upload the music. If we learn or suspect that you have uploaded copyright material for which you do not have written consent from the owner, we may take the material down or otherwise make it unavailable without notice to you, and you may not recover damages or other relief from us even if it turns out later that you did have the right to upload the material.
As it relates to music that is uploaded to Music Prodigy, here are limits to what music you can upload to Music Prodigy. Here is what you can upload:
n Music your school has given to you to play on Music Prodigy and told you there is a license to play it.
n Music provided to you by Music Prodigy via the Music Prodigy website.
n Music that you have personally written, where you have written ALL of it.
n Music (including versions or arrangements) that you know for sure was written in its entirety before the year 1924.
n Music that you have permission to upload and play on your computer (because you have a license to use it) even though it belongs to (or was copyrighted by) someone else.
Sometimes it can be hard to tell if something is copyrighted or not. But here are two guidelines.
(1) If the music has a copyright notice on it, which looks like this in form “© Copyright Fred Jones” or “Copyright Fred Jones” or “All Rights Reserved Fred Jones,” you should assume it is copyrighted and that you cannot use it unless Music Prodigy, your school, or the owner of the music has given you permission to do so. (Sometimes the copyright notice will mention a singer or songwriter’s name. Sometimes it will mention a company’s name.)
(2) If you know the music (or any version or arrangement of it) was written after the year 1923, you should assume it is copyrighted even if it does not have any kind of copyright notice on it. You should not use it.
If you are not sure, ask your school. Your school might have a license for the music even though it is copyrighted, but it might not. To be sure, you need to ask.
If you’re still not sure, don’t upload the material!
THE CONSEQUENCES FOR
YOU OF UPLOADING MUSIC YOU DO NOT OWN ON MUSIC PRODIGY
If you upload music you do not own or do not have the right to upload on Music Prodigy, and as a result Music Prodigy is sued or otherwise damaged because you did that, or we have to spend money because you did that (including hiring lawyers and experts), you will be required to fully indemnify us. In other words, you will have to pay for the total fees and cost of our lawyers and others (such as experts) we have to hire to defend ourselves, and you will have to pay in full any damages or costs or fees we are ordered to pay. You may also be sued yourself by the owner(s) of the music.
YOU AREN’T ALLOWED TO
COPY, MODIFY OR DAMAGE OUR MUSIC PRODIGY SOFTWARE
You aren’t allowed to copy our Music Prodigy software, modify it, or damage it in any way. You can’t use hacking tools or reverse engineering or any other method to do so. You also can’t introduce viruses, worms, or other malware into our software or our on-line systems. And, once again, if you do so you will have to indemnify us—pay all our costs to fix the damage you’ve done, including business we might lose.
YOU AREN’T ALLOWED TO
GIVE THE MUSIC PRODIGY SOFTWARE TO ANYONE ELSE OR SHARE YOUR PASSWORD
Your Music Prodigy software is only for your use. You aren’t allowed to give it to anyone else, let anyone else use it or give or lend your password to anyone else. If we learn or suspect you are doing any of those things, we may decide to block you from using the software or remove it from your device or ask your school to remove it. Please note that your students must sign up separately for access to Music Prodigy and agree to their own license terms.
WE DON’T SUPPLY YOU
WITH THE EQUIPMENT YOU NEED TO ACCESS MUSIC PRODIGY
We don’t supply you with computers or phones or mobile devices or anything else you might need to access our Music Prodigy Software. You have to get the equipment you need from your school or bring your own, depending on your school’s rules about that.
MUSIC PRODIGY WON’T WORK ON ALL PHONES, MOBILE DEVICES OR COMPUTERS
Music Prodigy works only on certain computers, phones or mobile equipment, and on certain software, but not on everything. You should check with your teacher or school to see if you have the right equipment and software to run Music Prodigy.
WE MAY COLLECT DATA
ON HOW YOU USE OUR SOFTWARE
We may collect information (data) about how you use our software—things like how well your students do (or how well you do if you use it yourself), how long it takes you or your students to complete exercises, which songs you and/or your students play and how well the equipment and software you’re using works. We will not use this data in a way that identifies you or your classes or students personally unless your school requests it, but we will instead combine it with the data from other users (“aggregate” the data) and use it for analysis of how well you, your students and our products are doing. We may publish the aggregated data or share it with your school, school district or our business partners.
WE DON’T MAKE YOU ANY
PROMISES ABOUT HOW WELL MUSIC PRODIGY WILL WORK AND WE DON’T GUARANTEE THAT IT
WILL ALWAYS WORK OR THAT IT WILL WORK AT ALL
We hope Music Prodigy will work well for you. But we don’t make any promises about that or guarantee whether it will work well for you or your students or whether it will work at all. There may be times when it works well, other times when it doesn’t work at all, and everything in between. This may depend on how well your equipment and software is working (assuming you’re using the right stuff), whether our software has any bugs in it—and sometimes new bugs occur when we upgrade the software—whether the software is down for maintenance, whether the Internet is working well on our end or your end, or a number other things. If Music Prodigy doesn’t work (or even if we lose your work), you can’t sue us or get any money from us as a result.
WE CAN CHANGE THIS AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME BY PUTTING THE CHANGES UP ON OUR WEBSITE
From time to time, we may change this agreement. When we want to do that, we will put the changes up on our website http://musicprodigy.com/terms/You should check the website regularly to see if we have made any changes. If you don’t like the changes we’ve made, you should talk to your teacher or parent or guardian. If you still don’t like the changes, you should stop using the Music Prodigy software or delete it from your device.

6. Issuance,
Revocation, and Use by Licensee of Confidential Passwords
Music Prodigy may provide
Licensee with activation/course codes for access to the Software and/or
Website(s) used by Licensee's authorized End User(s) or allow Licensee’s End
Users to create End User accounts and self-enroll into Licensee’s courses
and/or use Licensee’s Content.
Licensee agrees to use reasonable efforts to protect the activation
codes from distribution to persons not authorized to utilize them. Improper Use of activation codes by
Licensee or other authorized employees or agents is a material breach of this Agreement
and constitutes grounds for termination of this Agreement by Music Prodigy, at
its sole discretion. In the event
of such breach, however, Music Prodigy may elect, in lieu of immediate
termination, to suspend temporarily Licensee's and/or End User’s access to the
Software while ameliorative measures are put into effect. However, should such ameliorative
measures prove, in the sole opinion of Music Prodigy, to be ineffective, then
Music Prodigy may terminate this license agreement for material breach, and its
initial forbearance in doing so shall not affect in any way its right to
terminate or seek damages or equitable relief for material breach based on the
initial violations. Music Prodigy
reserves the right to deny an End User an activation code if the End User is an
individual who, in its Music Prodigy’s sole judgment, is a competitor or employed by,
or substantially connected with, a competitor of Music Prodigy. However, in the event of such a decision
by Music Prodigy, Music Prodigy will notify Licensee in writing in an attempt
to solve the matter.
7. Future
Use or Implementation of Revised Confidentiality Measures
Music Prodigy reserves the right to change or add to
its confidentiality procedures for access to the Software including, without
limitation, issuing activation codes to Licensee’s personnel or requiring
additional identifying information or registration upon logon by Licensee’s
personnel or students, including identification by individual. Music Prodigy will give Licensee at
least two business days’ notice of any such changed procedures unless an
emergency situation, such as a breach of security and/or hacking or attempted
hacking of its Website or Software, has occurred or appears to have occurred,
in which case Music Prodigy reserves the option to change security procedures
with less notice or no notice.
However, in such a case, Music Prodigy will make reasonable efforts to
ameliorate any inconvenience to Licensee caused by such reduced notice.

Licensee’s rights in this Agreement, of which Licensee becomes aware.

code of the Software or Website under any circumstances or
conditions. However, should
Licensee accidentally or inadvertently come into possession of any portion of
the source code or any information which could lead to the reverse engineering
of the source code, Licensee agrees immediately to notify Music Prodigy of the
event and thereafter to observe complete confidentiality with respect to the
source code for the Software and Website, to hand over, without demand, such
code and all copies of it to Music Prodigy, and will not copy, reproduce,
publicize or otherwise disseminate the information to third parties. Any breach
of such confidentiality by Licensee will automatically terminate this
Agreement, but without the return of any license fees previously paid or then
due. Licensee agrees that Music
Prodigy’s remedies at law for breach of confidentiality are inadequate and that
Music Prodigy will be entitled to equitable relief, including without
limitation, injunctive relief, specific performance and/or other remedies in

Any
dispute arising under, related to or connected with this License Agreement
shall be subject to binding arbitration by a single, mutually agreeable

apply. Any arbitration will be held
in Los Angeles County, California if Institution is the petitioner, or in the

relief via an arbitrator may not, for any reason, be prompt enough to prevent
irreparable injury to its interests, then either party may apply to a court of

and County in which Institution is located, for a temporary restraining order
or preliminary injunction for the sole purpose of preventing irreparable
injury.

will be modified to the least extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the
remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
20. Force
Majeure
Neither
party will be held responsible for any delay or failure in performance of any
part of this Agreement to the extent that such delay is caused by events or
circumstances beyond the delayed party's reasonable control. These events include, without
limitation, interruption in electric power supply, interruption in
telecommunications equipment or transmission facilities, interruptions in the

modified only by a written instrument executed by authorized representatives of
the parties hereto.

HOW THIS WORKS
– The License
Your school or school district has paid Music Prodigy a license fee so that you can use Music Prodigy software. This software is licensed to you, not sold to you. The license is for a limited amount of time, in this case one year. At the end of the upcoming or just-started academic year (or the end of the current school year if you are already enrolled as a student in a class or band or orchestra or chorus or a similar program), the license will end and you won’t be able to access the software again, or the data on it, unless your school, you, or someone else pays us a new license fee for another year.
Once the license ends, you won’t be able to access any of the information you entered into our system, including your performance data, any playbacks of your performances or any of your own music or other material that you may have uploaded. We may store that information, or we may delete it, at our option.
HOW MUSIC PRODIGY WORKS
– Setup
Step 1: Download the Music Prodigy software to your computer. You’ll be able to find it on our website if you’re using a Mac or PC, or through the App Store or Google Play Store. Or your school may provide you a link. If you school or school district has a license with us, the software is free to download.
Step 2: Launch the software. If it’s your first time using it, you will be asked to create an account by choosing a user name and password. Don’t use your name, the name of your school, or other easily guessed words or numbers (like 1234) for your password.
n If you’ve already registered, enter your user name and password and use the software.
n
You are
not allowed to give your user name and password to anyone else or permit anyone
else to use it. If we believe you have done so, we will cancel your account and
we may delete all of your information. We may also bar you from setting up a
new account in the future.
Step 3: Once you’re logged in, you may see the lessons and exercises for the classes you’ve enrolled in or you will be able to find those classes and enroll yourself through a course code provided to you by your teacher or school. Practice the lessons and exercises as your teacher has instructed. You will be able to save your performance as a pdf or email it to your instructor. Depending on the play mode, your instructor maybe able to see how you’ve done, evaluate your performance and give you feedback.
We will also be able to see your performances, but we will not share this information with anyone other than your instructor and your school administration. If you are under the age of eighteen, we will also share the information with you parent or guardian if they request to see it.
We may “aggregate” your data with that of other students or users of our software. That means that we might combine your performance data with that of other students in your class, school, age group or other group to see how the group did as a whole, but only in a way that prevents your individual performance from being identified and linked to you. We may share this aggregated data with other parties outside your school.
WHAT YOU MAY DO AND MAY
NOT DO WITH OUR MUSIC PRODIGY SOFTWARE
DO: Practice music given to you by your school, school program or instructor or that is already made available to you through Music Prodigy. In addition to completing lessons or exercises in the software, you may in some cases, depending on your account, be able to upload your own music to practice or play. If you intend to upload content to Music Prodigy, please read the limits to what you can and cannot upload below.. If you do upload material you have created, you do so at your own risk. We do not promise you you’re your music will be secure or that it will not be stolen, seen or used by someone else without your consent.
UPLOAD FEATURE MAY NOT YET BE AVAILABLE. If you cannot upload material, it may mean that this feature has not been installed yet on the version of the software you have or may have been excluded for other reasons.. Please check with you teacher or school to see when it might be available
DON’T: You aren’t allowed to give, lend or license our software or other materials to anyone else.
You aren’t allowed to upload music or any other material that belongs to someone else or is copyrighted by someone else unless you have written permission from the copyright owner to upload the music. If we learn or suspect that you have uploaded copyright material for which you do not have written consent from the owner, we may take the material down or otherwise make it unavailable without notice to you, and you may not recover damages or other relief from us even if it turns out later that you did have the right to upload the material.
As it relates to music that is uploaded to Music Prodigy, here are limits to what music you can upload to Music Prodigy. Here is what you can upload:
n Music your school or instructor has given to you to play on Music Prodigy and told you there is a license to play it.
n Music that you have personally written, where you have written ALL of it.
n Music that you know for sure was written before the year 1924.
n Music that you have permission to upload and play on your computer (because you have a license to use it) even though it belongs to (or was copyrighted by) someone else.
Sometimes it can be hard to tell if something is copyrighted or not. But here are two guidelines.
(1) If the music has a copyright notice on it, which looks like this in form “© Copyright Fred Jones” or “Copyright Fred Jones” or “All Rights Reserved Fred Jones,” you should assume it is copyrighted and you cannot use it unless your instructor has given you permission to do so. Sometimes the copyright notice will mention a singer or songwriter’s name. Sometimes it will mention a company’s name.
(2) If you know the music was written after the year 1923, you should assume it is copyrighted even if it does not have any kind of copyright notice on it. You should not use it.
If you are not sure, ask your teacher or your parent or guardian. Your school might have a license for the music even though it is copyrighted, but it might not. To be sure, you need to ask.
If you’re still not sure, don’t upload the material
THE CONSEQUENCES FOR
YOU OF UPLOADING MUSIC YOU DO NOT OWN ON MUSIC PRODIGY
If you upload music you do not own or do not have the right to upload on Music Prodigy, and as a result Music Prodigy is sued or otherwise damaged because you did that, or we have to spend money because you did that (including hiring lawyers and experts), you will be required to fully indemnify us. In other words, you will have to pay for the total fees and cost of our lawyers and others (such as experts) we have to hire to defend ourselves, and you will have to pay in full any damages or costs or fees we are ordered to pay. You may also be sued yourself by the owner(s) of the music.
YOU AREN’T ALLOWED TO
COPY, MODIFY OR DAMAGE OUR MUSIC PRODIGY SOFTWARE
You aren’t allowed to copy our Music Prodigy software, modify it, or damage it in any way. You can’t use hacking tools or reverse engineering or any other method to do so. You also can’t introduce viruses, worms, or other malware into our software or our on-line systems. And, once again, if you do so you will have to indemnify us—pay all our costs to fix the damage you’ve done, including business we might lose.
YOU AREN’T ALLOWED TO
GIVE THE MUSIC PRODIGY SOFTWARE TO ANYONE ELSE OR SHARE YOUR PASSWORD
Your Music Prodigy software is only for your use. You aren’t allowed to give it to anyone else, let anyone else use it or give or lend your password to anyone else. If we learn or suspect you are doing any of those things, we may decide to block you from using the software or remove it from your device or ask your school to remove it.
WE DON’T SUPPLY YOU
WITH THE EQUIPMENT YOU NEED TO ACCESS MUSIC PRODIGY
We don’t supply you with computers or phones or mobile devices or anything else you might need to access our Music Prodigy Software. You have to get the equipment you need from your school or bring your own, depending on your school’s rules about that.
MUSIC PRODIGY WON’T WORK ON ALL PHONES, MOBILE DEVICES OR COMPUTERS
Music Prodigy works only on certain computers, phones or mobile equipment, and on certain software, but not on everything. You should check with your teacher or school to see if you have the right equipment and software to run Music Prodigy.
WE MAY COLLECT DATA
ON HOW YOU USE OUR SOFTWARE
We may collect information (data) about how you use our software—things like how well you do, how long it takes you to complete exercises, which songs you play and how well the equipment and software you’re using works. We will not use this data in a way that identifies you personally, but we will instead combine it with the data from other users (“aggregate” the data) and use it for analysis of how well students and our products are doing. We may publish the aggregated data or share it with your school, school district or our business partners.
WE DON’T MAKE YOU ANY
PROMISES ABOUT HOW WELL MUSIC PRODIGY WILL WORK AND WE DON’T GUARANTEE THAT IT
WILL ALWAYS WORK OR THAT IT WILL WORK AT ALL
We hope Music Prodigy will work well for you. But we don’t make any promises about that or guarantee whether it will work well for you or whether it will work at all. There may be times when it works well, other times when it doesn’t work at all, and everything in between. This may depend on how well your equipment and software is working (assuming you’re using the right stuff), whether our software has any bugs in it—and sometimes new bugs occur when we upgrade the software—whether the software is down for maintenance, whether the Internet is working well on our end or your end, or a number other things. If Music Prodigy doesn’t work (or even if we lose your work), you can’t sue us or get any money from us as a result.
WE CAN CHANGE THIS AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME BY PUTTING THE CHANGES UP ON OUR WEBSITE
From time to time, we may change this agreement. When we want to do that, we will put the changes up on our website http://musicprodigy.com/terms/. You should check the website regularly to see if we have made any changes. If you don’t like the changes we’ve made, you should talk to your teacher or parent or guardian. If you still don’t like the changes, you should stop using the Music Prodigy software or delete it from your device.
