Legal
Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Tinxie website at hntlxd.cn and the Tinxie app (together, the “Service”), provided by Hunan Tianlong Brothers Culture Communication Co., Ltd. (“we”, “us”, “our”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
Tinxie is a music dictation and ear-training tool for practice and study. It plays exercises, accepts answers, and provides feedback and practice records. Tinxie is a practice aid, not an official examination body, conservatory, or certification provider. Scores and progress shown in the app are for practice only and are not an official assessment or guarantee of exam results.
2. Licence
Subject to these Terms and payment of any applicable price, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial study. You may not:
- copy, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or distribute the app or access to it;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except where the law expressly permits it;
- remove or alter copyright, trademark, or licence notices;
- use the Service to break the law, infringe rights, distribute malware, or interfere with the Service or other users;
- share an account, licence, or purchase in a way that defeats device or entitlement limits.
3. Purchases, pricing, and refunds
- Tinxie is planned as a one-time purchase on Google Play and the App Store; it is not a subscription unless a product page expressly says so.
- The purchase covers the features listed at the time of purchase. Bug fixes and compatibility updates for those features are included. New feature packs, new content packs, or a later major version may be offered separately.
- Prices, taxes, currency, availability, and payment methods are set by the store. The store’s terms also apply.
- Refunds are handled under the store’s refund policy and any mandatory consumer rights in your country. Contact the store first for purchase and refund issues; we can help with entitlement problems.
- If a purchase is refunded, charged back, or revoked, the associated entitlement may be removed.
4. Accounts and device limits
Some features require an account. You are responsible for keeping your login details and device secure. We may bind a licence to a device or account to prevent abuse. If you change devices, use the app’s restore or account recovery flow; contact support if you need help.
5. Your content
You retain ownership of the answers, handwritten notes, photos, and other content you create. You grant us only the limited rights needed to operate the Service (for example, to store your practice records if you use an account). Photos and handwritten notes are stored locally on your device; microphone input is processed on the device and is not uploaded. See the Privacy Policy for details.
6. Intellectual property
The Service, including the app, website, text, graphics, audio, and software, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual-property laws. “Tinxie” and related marks are our marks. Third-party components are used under their own licences, including the Bravura font (SIL Open Font License 1.1) and the GeneralUser GS soundfont (see the licence notices in the app and the repository).
7. Availability and changes
We may update, change, or discontinue parts of the Service. We aim to keep purchased features working on supported systems, but we do not guarantee that the Service will work on every device, operating-system version, or future platform. We may suspend access for security, legal, or maintenance reasons.
8. Disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not warrant that practice will produce a particular exam result, that every exercise is error-free, or that the Service will be uninterrupted. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer law.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or opportunities, arising from your use of the Service. Where liability cannot be excluded, our aggregate liability is limited to the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve months before the claim, or the minimum amount required by law.
10. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and may request account deletion. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
11. Governing law and consumer rights
These Terms are governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer outside China, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence. Disputes should first be raised with us at support@hntlxd.cn.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the Service develops. We will post the new version here and update the effective date. If a change is material, we will provide additional notice where required. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.
