Last updated: 24 August 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. Your license to use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Hymnphony on devices you own or control, for your own worship, study, rehearsal and teaching. This license does not transfer ownership of anything to you.

4. Hymn content and intellectual property

Hymn content within the app is either in the public domain or used with the permission of the relevant rights holders. The compilation, typesetting, arrangement, database, software, design and branding of Hymnphony are protected by copyright and other rights owned by Hymnphony or its licensors.

Accordingly, 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, sublicense, rent or share the content or the app with others outside the terms of your license;
• 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, obscure or alter any copyright, attribution or rights-holder notice;
• use the content to create a competing product, dataset or service.

5. Projection and public performance

Displaying or projecting copyrighted hymn text to a congregation, broadcasting a service, or reproducing hymns in printed orders of service may require a separate license from the rights holder or a collective licensing body in your country. Obtaining and maintaining that license remains the responsibility of your church or organization, not of Hymnphony.

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.

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. Purchases and optional paid features

The core app is free. If optional paid features are offered in future, the price and what is included will be shown before purchase, and payment will be handled by the relevant app store under its own terms. Refunds are governed by the policies of the store through which the purchase was made.

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, including where a rights holder withdraws permission for particular content.

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 the jurisdiction in which Hymnphony is established, and the courts of that jurisdiction shall have exclusive jurisdiction, without affecting any mandatory consumer protections available to you where you live. Insert your governing jurisdiction here before launch.

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.
