Licence Agreement

Scale Syllabus · End User Licence Agreement (EULA) · Last updated: 9 August 2026

Scale Syllabus is published by Gianluca Barbaro (sole proprietor), Via Cantone di Sorpa 6, 27010 Badia Pavese (PV), Italy — VAT IT03000180186 (“we”, “us”, “our”), contactable at me@barbaro.it.

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing or using the Scale Syllabus application (the “app”), you agree to this Licence Agreement and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not install or use the app.

2. Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, subject to this agreement and to the rules of the store you obtained it from.

The app is offered in a free form and as Scale Syllabus Complete, a one-time in-app purchase. The free form opens three scales permanently and lets you open two more of your choice; Complete opens the entire catalogue and enables printing, PDF export and sharing. The current description of each is on the product page.

3. Purchases

Scale Syllabus Complete is a non-consumable, one-time purchase. There is no subscription and nothing renews.

Purchases are processed by the platform store you bought from — Apple App Store or Google Play — under that store's own terms, and refunds are governed by those terms, not by us. We never see your payment details. Restoring a purchase on another device is a request made to the same store with the same account.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, your statutory rights, including any right of withdrawal for digital content, are unaffected by this agreement and are exercised through the store that sold you the purchase.

4. What you may not do

You may not:

• reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this limitation;
• rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense or redistribute the app, or make it available over a network for use by more than one person at a time;
• remove or alter any copyright, trademark or attribution notice contained in the app or in what it prints;
• extract the scale catalogue — the scales, their numbering, their structures or their names — in order to publish, distribute or sell it, in whole or in substantial part, in any form.

5. The book, the catalogue and what you print

The app, its source code, its interface, its audio engine, its brand name and its icon, together with the scale catalogue and the book Complete Scale Syllabus (Musicalia 3, Gianluca Barbaro, 2018, ISBN 978-1-7178-2330-4) from which it derives, are the intellectual property of Gianluca Barbaro and are protected by Italian and international copyright law. Nothing in this agreement grants you ownership of, or rights in, any of it beyond the licence expressly given in §2.

The sheets the app produces are a different matter. Music you print, export or share from the app is yours to use for study, teaching, rehearsal and performance, including in a lesson you are paid for, and you may hand copies to your students or fellow musicians. What you may not do is assemble those sheets into a publication that reproduces the catalogue itself, or sell them as a collection of scales.

The app is a companion to the book, not a replacement for it, and buying either grants no rights in the other.

6. What you write in the app

The favourites you mark and the notes you write stay on your device and belong to you. We claim no rights in them, and we never receive them — see the Privacy Policy.

7. Updates and availability

We may release updates that add, change or remove features. We are not obliged to release any update, nor to keep the app available on any particular platform or store. If a purchased feature is removed, the purchase remains valid for the version you have installed.

8. Disclaimer

The app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and it is neither designed nor warranted for use in safety-critical environments.

The scales, chords, spellings and printed sheets are generated by the app's own algorithm and are offered as a musical reference: they are not a guarantee of fitness for any examination, syllabus, curriculum or professional purpose. Reports of wrong or missing scale names are welcome at me@barbaro.it.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability arising out of or in connection with the app is limited to the amount you actually paid for it in the twelve months preceding the claim — which is €0 if you use the free version. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss.

Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or under the mandatory consumer protection law of your country of residence.

10. Termination

This licence lasts until terminated. It ends automatically if you breach any of its terms, and you may end it at any time by deleting the app from your devices. Sections 5, 8, 9 and 11 survive termination.

11. Governing law

This agreement is governed by the laws of Italy and of the European Union. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Milan, Italy, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence.

12. Apple App Store

If you obtained the app from the Apple App Store, the following also applies. This agreement is between you and us, not with Apple, and we alone are responsible for the app and its content. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the app. In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. We, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any third-party claim that the app infringes that party's intellectual property rights. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement and, upon your acceptance of it, will have the right to enforce it against you as such.

13. Changes to this agreement

We may update this agreement. The date of the most recent revision appears at the top of this page, and material changes will be noted in the app's release notes. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept it; if you do not, stop using the app.
