Welcome to WatsonMIDI. By downloading, installing, or using our app, you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using WatsonMIDI (“the App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App, and at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to make in-app purchases. If you use the App on behalf of a church, school, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. License to Use the App

Watson Pipe Organ Company (“we,” “our,” or “us”) grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use WatsonMIDI for personal or commercial purposes, subject to these Terms and the tier of service you have purchased.

License Tiers

Tier	Personal Use	Commercial Use
Practice ($1.99)	✓ Yes	✗ No
Audition ($49)	✓ Yes	✗ No
Recital ($199)	✓ Yes	✗ No
Symphony ($499)	✓ Yes	✓ Yes
Maestro ($999.99)	✓ Yes	✓ Yes

Commercial Use means using the App or recordings created with the App to generate revenue, including but not limited to: selling or licensing recordings to churches, organizations, or individuals; providing paid performance services where recordings created with the App are used; or any other revenue-generating activity involving the App or its outputs.

Prices are shown in U.S. dollars and may change. The price displayed in the App Store at the time of purchase is the price you pay.

3. Ownership of Your Recordings

You retain all rights to your musical performances and recordings. This includes the right to:

• Keep recordings for personal use
• Share recordings with your church or organization
• Use DRM protection features to control distribution (Symphony tier and above)
• License or sell your recordings commercially (Symphony tier and above)

The App itself, including its software, design, organ profiles we supply, and the WatsonMIDI name and marks, remains the property of Watson Pipe Organ Company and is protected by copyright and trademark law.

4. No Hosting, No Servers

Because we never possess or transmit your content, we are not a hosting provider or online service for purposes of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. We do not and cannot remove, block, or review recordings exchanged between users. If you believe a WatsonMIDI user has shared a recording that infringes your rights, your remedy is with that user; you may contact us at support@watsonpipeorgan.com and we will respond in good faith, but we have no technical ability to access or delete content on users’ devices.

5. Your Responsibilities

Copyright Compliance

You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to record, share, receive, and play back any music you use with the App. This applies equally whether you are the person who made a recording or the person who received it from another user. A license held by one church or organization does not extend to another.

Music you may use freely includes:

• Public domain works (no restrictions)
• Original compositions you have created
• Arrangements for which you have obtained proper licensing
• Works covered by a church license (CCLI, OneLicense, etc.) held by your congregation, to the extent that license permits the use

Many church licenses are issued per congregation and may not cover recording a performance or sharing it with another congregation. Check with your license provider before sharing or receiving recordings of copyrighted works.

Watson Pipe Organ Company is not responsible for any copyright infringement arising from your use of the App. If you record, share, receive, or play copyrighted material without proper authorization, you assume all liability.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
• Circumvent or disable DRM protection features
• Share your license or in-app purchases with others
• Use the App for any unlawful purpose
• Use the App to control an instrument you are not authorized to operate

6. In-App Purchases and Apple

WatsonMIDI offers tier upgrades through in-app purchases processed by Apple. All purchases are:

• One-time purchases — no recurring subscriptions
• Non-refundable — except as required by applicable law or Apple’s policies. Refund requests are handled by Apple, not by us
• Tied to your Apple ID — can be restored on other devices signed into the same account

These Terms are between you and Watson Pipe Organ Company, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, and is not responsible for addressing any claim relating to the App, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, or intellectual property claims. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the App is also subject to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement; where these Terms are less restrictive than Apple’s, Apple’s apply.

Editions of the App distributed privately through Apple Business Manager are subject to these same Terms unless a separate written agreement with Watson Pipe Organ Company says otherwise.

7. DRM and Protected Sharing

The Symphony tier and above include Digital Rights Management (DRM) features that allow you to share recordings with usage restrictions (play limits, expiration, etc.). By using these features:

• You acknowledge that DRM protection is provided “as-is”
• We do not guarantee that DRM cannot be circumvented by determined parties
• You are responsible for managing your own sharing settings and recipient access
• We are not liable for unauthorized use of your recordings once shared

8. Instrument Control

The App sends MIDI data to pipe organs, digital organs, and other instruments, and in some tiers can act as a relay or control system for an instrument. You are responsible for correct wiring, configuration, and operation of your instrument and MIDI interface. We are not liable for damage to any instrument, relay, combination action, or associated equipment arising from your configuration or use of the App, except where Watson Pipe Organ Company performed the installation under a separate written service agreement, in which case that agreement governs.

Organ profiles, stop maps, and configuration files created by you or supplied by us are provided for convenience and may not match your instrument exactly. Verify them before use in a live setting.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that:

• The App will meet your specific requirements
• The App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
• MIDI connections will work with all instruments or configurations
• Recordings will be preserved in all circumstances — you are responsible for your own backups
• A recording made on one instrument will sound or register the same on another

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WATSON PIPE ORGAN COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Loss of recordings or data
• Loss of revenue or profits
• Missed performances or services due to technical issues
• Damage to instruments or equipment
• Copyright infringement claims arising from your use

Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the twelve months before the claim arose.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Watson Pipe Organ Company and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from:

• Your use of the App
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any third-party rights, including copyright
• Your recordings, recordings you receive from others, or any content you create or play with the App

12. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your license to use the App at any time, without notice, for conduct that we believe:

• Violates these Terms
• Is harmful to other users or third parties
• Is harmful to our business interests

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. Sections 3, 4, 5, 8 through 11, and 13 through 15 survive termination. Because recordings are stored only on your devices, termination of your license does not remove your recordings.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the “Last updated” date and, where practical, by notice within the App or on this website. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the App shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Knox County, Illinois, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us and make a good-faith attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

15. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any separate written agreement with us, are the entire agreement between you and Watson Pipe Organ Company regarding the App.
• Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a sale or reorganization of our business.
• Export. You agree to comply with applicable U.S. export laws and not to use the App where prohibited.
