Terms of Use

The agreement between you and Hymnphony.

Plain terms covering how the app and this website may be used, what we promise, and what we ask of you in return.

Last updated: 14 October 2026 · Applies to the Hymnphony mobile applications and this website.

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing or using the Hymnphony application, or by using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

2. What Hymnphony provides

Hymnphony is made and operated by cannykaystudios. Hymnphony provides an application that presents hymn content, which may include lyrics, tonic sol-fa, staff notation and audio, together with tools for searching, organizing, rehearsing and planning. Features, hymn books and availability may change over time.

3. Using the app

You may install Hymnphony on devices you own or control and use it for personal worship, study, rehearsal and teaching. You may not pass this on to anyone else, and using the app does not make you the owner of anything in it.

4. The hymns and the app

Hymnphony presents hymns for worship, study and rehearsal. We do not claim to own the hymns. The app itself, with its design and software, is made by cannykaystudios.

When you use the app, you must not:

  • copy, extract, scrape, export or republish hymn text, sol-fa, notation, audio or any part of the app database, whether manually or by automated means;
  • redistribute, sell, rent or share the content or the app with others, except through the app’s own sharing, such as hymn cards and Songbook links;
  • reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to derive the source code or data structures of the app, except to the extent the law expressly permits;
  • remove, hide or alter the credits shown with a hymn or in the app;
  • use the content to create a competing product, dataset or service.

5. Using Hymnphony in church

Hymnphony is made for personal worship, study and rehearsal. When you use it in a service, follow your church’s own practice.

6. Accounts

An account is optional. If you create one, you are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for activity carried out through your account. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised. We may suspend or close accounts that are used in breach of these terms.

If you share a Songbook by link, anyone who has the link can view it. You are responsible for what you add to it, such as names and notes. You can stop sharing at any time by turning the link off. The link then stops working, though people who already joined can still see the Songbook.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the service, including by interfering with its operation, attempting to gain unauthorised access, transmitting malicious code, or using the service unlawfully or in a way that harms others.

8. Price and advertising

Hymnphony carries no advertising. If paid features are offered in future, what they cost and what they include will be shown clearly before you buy, and payment is handled by the App Store or Google Play.

9. App stores

Where you obtain Hymnphony through a third-party app store, that store’s terms also apply to your download and use of the app. The store is not responsible for the app or for support of it.

10. Availability and changes

We work to keep Hymnphony reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may add, modify, suspend or withdraw features, hymn books or the service itself.

11. Accuracy of content

We prepare and proof hymn content carefully, but errors can occur. Hymnphony is not a substitute for an authoritative printed edition where exactness is essential. Please report any error you find so it can be corrected.

12. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hymnphony shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, goodwill or anticipated savings, arising out of your use of or inability to use the service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Hymnphony against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms or your unlawful use of the service.

15. Termination

You may stop using Hymnphony and delete the app at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will do so.

16. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ghana, and the courts of Ghana shall have exclusive jurisdiction, without affecting any mandatory consumer protections available to you where you live.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last changed, and material changes will be announced in the app.
