These Terms are the agreement for using the Sessionist app and the website at sessionist.ie. By using Sessionist you accept them. Sessionist is operated by Niall Kelleher, a sole trader in Ireland (13 Vesey Place, Dublin, A96 R3H2); contact niall@sessionist.ie.
Anyone can use Sessionist’s anonymous mode, which needs no account. Creating an account requires you to be 16 or older; under-16s use anonymous mode. You confirm that the year of birth you give is true — giving a false age may result in suspension or closure of the account.
Keep your login details secure; you are responsible for activity under your account; tell us at niall@sessionist.ie of any unauthorised use. One account per person.
You agree not to: post or share content that is offensive, discriminatory, hateful or illegal; harass, abuse or threaten others; bypass age limits; use bots, scripts or scraping; access other users’ accounts or data; reverse engineer, copy or resell the app except as the law allows; or use Sessionist for any unlawful purpose.
You keep ownership of content you submit (playlists, names, recordings). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, display and distribute it within the service to provide the features you use. All content must be your own or properly licensed, lawful, suitable for an audience that includes children, and not AI-generated music or artwork.
Your performance recordings are stored on your device. Sharing one — to contribute a community guide or to enter a competition — is voluntary, opt-in, adult-only and reviewed by a human moderator before others can hear it. You grant the licence in section 4 for anything you choose to share, and can ask us to remove it.
Leaderboards, competitions and friends are for adults who opt in; your display name (not your email) is shown to others, and you can block or unfriend anyone. You can report content or users that breach these Terms — in the app or at niall@sessionist.ie. We review reports and may freeze or remove content and suspend or remove accounts. There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour.
Core learning features are free. Voluntary donations go through Patreon (patreon.com/c/Sessionist) under Patreon’s own terms; they are non-refundable except where the law requires, and donating does not unlock any features.
The traditional tunes themselves are in the public domain. Sessionist’s own arrangements, software, design and branding are ours; we grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-commercial licence to use the app. You keep ownership of your own content, subject to section 4.
You can delete your account at any time in the app. We may suspend or end your access for breach of these Terms (for example a false age, abuse, or prohibited content); content you published may then be removed.
Sessionist is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty that it is uninterrupted or error-free. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profits or goodwill. Nothing here limits any liability that cannot be limited by law, and your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.
We may update these Terms; we change the “Last updated” date above and flag significant changes in the app or by email. These Terms are governed by Irish law and subject to the courts of Ireland; if you are a consumer you may also rely on the mandatory laws of your country of residence.
