You retain ownership of content that you provide.

You represent that you have the necessary rights or permission to upload and process any content you submit through our tools.

You are responsible for reviewing generated output before relying upon, publishing, printing, distributing, performing from, or otherwise using it.

Generating a document using an LBWD Media tool does not grant you rights to third-party material contained in content that you supplied.

4. Accuracy of Music Tools

We make reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate music-related tools and information. However, music notation, instrument ranges, transpositions, scales, tempos, calculations, generated documents, and other results may contain errors or may not be appropriate for every musical or educational situation.

Instrument capabilities can also vary by performer, instrument, technique, equipment, and musical context.

You should use appropriate musical judgment and independently verify information when accuracy is important.
