Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and QuickStudio LLC ("QuickStudio," "we," "us," or "our"), a New Jersey limited liability company. By accessing or using the QuickStudio platform at quickstudio.me (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a business or organization (such as a music studio, art school, or coaching practice), you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you individually and the entity you represent.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

2. Description of Service

QuickStudio is a cloud-based studio management platform designed for operators of music studios, art schools, dance academies, and coaching practices. The Service provides tools including:

• Student and guardian registration and profile management
• Lesson scheduling, attendance tracking, and calendar management
• Plan and enrollment management for recurring lessons
• Invoice generation, billing, and payment processing (via Stripe)
• SMS and email notifications to studio participants
• In-app messaging between studio members
• Role-based access for managers, teachers, guardians, students, and payers
• Multi-location and room management
• Reporting and analytics on studio operations

The Service is provided as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. We may update, modify, or add features to the Service from time to time at our discretion.

3. Account Registration and Responsibilities

Account Creation

To use the Service, a studio operator (manager) must create an account and may then create accounts for their team members and clients. Each user is assigned a role (manager, teacher, guardian, student, or payer) that determines their level of access within the platform.

Accurate Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account and to keep that information up to date. You may not impersonate another person or use a false identity.

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at support@quickstudio.me if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.

One Account Per Person

Each individual should have only one account per studio. If you participate in multiple studios on the platform, your single identity may be linked to multiple studio accounts with different roles.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for its intended purpose of managing studio operations. You may not:

• Use the Service for any illegal, fraudulent, or unauthorized purpose
• Send unsolicited bulk messages (spam) through the platform's messaging features
• Use the SMS or email features for marketing, advertising, or promotional purposes unrelated to studio operations
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' accounts, other studios' data, or any part of the Service's infrastructure
• Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or any other malicious code
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated means to extract data from the Service without our written consent
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute access to the Service without our written authorization
• Use the Service in any manner that violates applicable local, state, national, or international law

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these acceptable use guidelines, with or without prior notice.

5. SMS Messaging Terms

The Service includes the ability for studio operators to send SMS text messages to their participants (students, guardians, and payers). By using or receiving SMS messages through QuickStudio, you agree to the following:

Consent

SMS messages are sent only to individuals who have provided their consent to receive text message notifications. Consent is collected during enrollment in the platform and is not a condition of receiving services from the studio.

Message Types

SMS messages sent through the platform are limited to operational communications related to studio activity, including session reminders, schedule changes, cancellation notices, invoice notifications, and studio announcements. The platform is not used to send marketing or promotional messages.

Frequency and Rates

Message frequency varies based on studio activity. Recipients can expect approximately 2 to 10 messages per month. Standard message and data rates from your mobile carrier may apply.

Opt-Out

You can opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. After opting out, you will receive a one-time confirmation and no further SMS messages will be sent. You may also contact your studio directly or email us at support@quickstudio.me to update your preferences.

Help

For assistance with SMS messaging, reply HELP to any message or contact support@quickstudio.me.

For complete details about our SMS messaging practices, please see our SMS Consent Disclosure.

6. Payment Terms

Payment Processing

QuickStudio uses Stripe as our payment processor. When you make a payment through the platform, your payment information is transmitted directly to and processed by Stripe. We do not store, process, or have access to your full credit card number, CVV, or bank account details.

Studio Operator Responsibility

Studio operators are responsible for setting their own rates, generating invoices, and managing their billing relationships with their clients. QuickStudio provides the tools to facilitate billing and payment collection but is not a party to the financial arrangement between a studio and its clients.

Fees

QuickStudio subscription fees and any applicable transaction fees will be communicated to studio operators at the time of account setup and prior to any charges. Payment processing fees charged by Stripe are passed through as incurred.

Refunds

Refund policies for lessons and services are determined by each individual studio operator. QuickStudio does not control or mediate refund disputes between studios and their clients. For billing questions related to your studio, please contact your studio directly.

7. Intellectual Property

Our Property

The Service, including its design, code, features, documentation, branding, logos, and all related intellectual property, is owned by QuickStudio LLC and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, trade names, or branding without our prior written consent.

Your Content

You retain ownership of all data, content, and information you submit to the Service (such as student records, schedules, invoices, and messages). By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Service.

8. Data Ownership and Portability

Studio operators own their studio data. This includes student records, schedules, lesson plans, invoices, payment history, and all other data entered into or generated by the platform in connection with their studio.

You may request an export of your studio data at any time by contacting us at support@quickstudio.me. We will provide your data in a standard machine-readable format (such as CSV or JSON) within 30 days of your request.

For details on how we handle and protect your data, please review our Privacy Policy.

9. Termination

Termination by You

You may stop using the Service at any time. Studio operators may request account closure by contacting us at support@quickstudio.me.

Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time if you violate these Terms, engage in abusive behavior, fail to pay applicable fees, or if we reasonably believe your use of the Service poses a risk to other users or to the platform's integrity. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before or at the time of termination, except where immediate action is necessary.

Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases immediately. We will retain your data for a reasonable period (typically 90 days) to allow you to request an export. After this period, your data will be permanently deleted in accordance with our data retention practices described in our Privacy Policy.

Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Intellectual Property, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law) will continue to apply after termination.
