Effective Date: August 8, 2026
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of julescalella.com and any products, services, downloads, communications, and related offerings made available through the website. The website and offerings are operated by Jules Calella (“Jules Calella,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). “You” and “your” refer to any person who accesses the website, purchases products, downloads materials, books services, or otherwise uses the offerings.
By accessing the website, purchasing a product, downloading material, booking a service, subscribing to communications, or otherwise interacting with the website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, you should not use the website, purchase products, download materials, or book services.
1. Website Use
You may use the website only for lawful, personal, educational, and informational purposes. You agree not to use the website in a way that could damage, disable, overburden, impair, interfere with, or disrupt the website, its security, its functionality, or any other person’s use of the website.
You agree not to attempt unauthorized access to any part of the website, related systems, accounts, download areas, payment systems, or hosting environments. You also agree not to introduce malware, scrape content without permission, use automated systems to misuse the website, or engage in fraudulent, abusive, misleading, or unlawful activity.
2. Products, Orders, Pricing, and Payment
Products offered through the website may include physical products, downloadable materials, digital resources, merchandise, and other products or offerings made available through the website. Product sales are currently available only to customers located in the United States. Product descriptions, prices, availability, shipping details, tax treatment, and other information may be updated or changed at any time without notice.
Submitting an order does not guarantee acceptance of that order. We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or limit any order for reasons including suspected fraud, pricing or product errors, availability issues, payment problems, misuse of the website, or violation of these Terms and Conditions. If an order is canceled after payment has been received, we will provide an appropriate refund for the canceled portion of the order.
You agree to provide accurate billing, shipping, contact, and payment information when placing an order. Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers, and your use of those payment services may be subject to their own terms, policies, and security practices.
Sales tax, use tax, and similar transaction-based taxes may apply depending on the product, customer location, delivery method, and applicable law. Where required, applicable taxes will be calculated and collected at checkout or otherwise charged as part of the transaction.
3. Digital Downloads and Access
Digital products and downloadable materials are provided for personal, individual, non-commercial educational use only unless a separate written agreement states otherwise. After purchase, digital materials may be made available by download link, account access, email, or another delivery method selected by the business.
Digital downloads are intended to remain available for download for as long as the business is operating and reasonably able to host or provide the files. However, continued access is not guaranteed indefinitely. We may update, remove, discontinue, replace, or restrict access to digital materials if necessary due to business changes, technical issues, hosting limitations, product updates, legal concerns, misuse, or other reasonable circumstances.
You are responsible for downloading and saving purchased digital materials within a reasonable time after purchase. If you experience access or download issues, contact info@julescalella.com and include your order information so we can review the issue.
4. Intellectual Property and License Restrictions
All content and materials on or available through the website, including educational materials, downloadable files, worksheets, text, graphics, images, audio or visual materials, arrangements, exercises, lesson materials, products, merchandise, logos, branding, and website content, are owned by us or the applicable rights holder and are protected by intellectual property laws.
When you purchase or access a product or digital resource, you receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the material for personal, educational, teaching, studio, or instructional purposes. You do not receive ownership of the underlying intellectual property.
You may not copy, reproduce, share, upload, post, publish, distribute, sell, resell, sublicense, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, or otherwise exploit any website content, educational product, digital download, or related material without prior written permission. This includes sharing files with other people, posting materials online, using them in a paid course or studio resource library, or redistributing them through another platform. You may, however, use materials you purchased for personal, educational, teaching, studio, or instructional purposes, including with your own students, provided you do not upload, share, resell, redistribute, or make the materials available online or as standalone resources.
For custom music, composition, recording, mixing, or orchestration work, you are responsible for ensuring that any materials you provide, including songs, recordings, stems, lyrics, sheet music, reference tracks, artwork, or other content, are owned by you or properly licensed for the intended use. You agree not to provide materials that infringe another person’s rights or that you do not have permission to use.
5. Ownership and Licensing for Custom Music Services
For custom services, including orchestration, music mixing, guitar recording, composition work, and related creative services, customers retain ownership of the original material they provide to us. This includes customer-owned songs, lyrics, melodies, recordings, stems, sheet music, reference materials, and other creative materials supplied for the project, subject to any rights held by third parties.
Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, once the agreed project fee has been paid in full, the customer receives a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable license to use the final approved deliverables created specifically for that customer as part of the customer’s own music, recordings, performances, releases, videos, promotional materials, and related creative projects.
This license includes the right for the customer to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display where applicable, release, stream, sell, synchronize, remix, edit, adapt, and otherwise use the final approved deliverables as part of the customer’s own musical work or project.
Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, we do not claim ownership of the customer’s original material and do not claim ownership of the customer’s finished song, master recording, or project merely because services were provided. However, we retain ownership of pre-existing materials, tools, templates, methods, know-how, techniques, unpublished ideas, reusable musical concepts, general style elements, and any materials not created specifically as final approved deliverables for the customer.
Unless expressly agreed in writing, no service is intended to be treated as a “work made for hire,” and no copyright ownership is transferred except to the extent expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions or in a separate written agreement. If a customer needs exclusive ownership, publishing splits, master ownership language, royalty terms, work-for-hire language, or other rights beyond the license described here, those terms must be agreed in a separate written agreement before work begins.
Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, the license granted to the customer does not allow the customer to sell, license, package, sample, or distribute our isolated contributions as standalone loops, sample packs, sheet music products, stock music, production music, templates, educational materials, or other standalone products separate from the customer’s own project.
6. Music Services, Bookings, and Client Responsibilities
Music-related services may include orchestration, music mixing, guitar lessons, guitar recordings, compositions, consultations, creative services, or other offerings described on the website or agreed to in writing. Services may be provided worldwide, subject to scheduling, payment, technical feasibility, applicable law, and the specific scope agreed for the service.
For services such as orchestration, mixing, recordings, and composition work, the project scope, deliverables, deadlines, revision limits, file formats, payment schedule, usage rights, and ownership or licensing terms should be confirmed in writing before work begins. Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, final deliverables are provided only after required payment has been received, and source files, session files, stems, project files, editable notation files, or alternate versions are not included unless expressly agreed.
For guitar lessons, you are responsible for having a reliable internet connection, a suitable device, working audio and video equipment, and an appropriate space for participation. Technical problems, late arrivals, missed appointments, or failure to participate may affect whether a lesson is eligible for rescheduling, credit, or refund.
Unless a different written policy applies to a specific service, cancellations or rescheduling requests must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled service time to be eligible for a full refund or full rescheduling credit. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice may be ineligible for a full refund, subject to review at our discretion.
You are responsible for participating in services in good faith, arriving on time, preparing as reasonably requested, completing your share of any agreed work, and communicating promptly about scheduling or participation issues. If you fail to participate, prepare, communicate, or complete required work in a way that prevents the service from being provided effectively, we may cancel or discontinue the service and provide only a partial refund, if appropriate under the circumstances.
7. Refunds, Returns, and Exchanges
Refunds, returns, exchanges, sale item limitations, damaged or defective item handling, shipping return procedures, and related issues are governed by the Refund and Returns Policy posted on the website. By making a purchase, you agree to review and follow that policy.
Downloadable and other digital products cannot be returned once purchased, as described in the Refund and Returns Policy. If a digital file is defective, inaccessible, or not delivered properly, contact info@julescalella.com so we can review the issue and, where appropriate, provide a replacement file or other reasonable assistance.
8. Educational and Music Progress Disclaimer
The website, products, downloads, and services are provided for educational, informational, and creative purposes. Music learning and creative development depend on many factors, including practice habits, prior experience, consistency, individual learning style, instruction received, and personal effort. We do not guarantee any specific musical result, improvement, performance outcome, certification, placement, opportunity, or level of progress.
Blog posts, articles, tutorials, videos, examples, recommendations, opinions, and other informational content made available through the website are provided for general educational, informational, and creative purposes only. This content should not be understood as professional, legal, financial, medical, tax, or other specialized advice. You are responsible for evaluating whether any information, technique, recommendation, or resource is appropriate for your own situation, goals, skill level, equipment, and legal obligations. We do not guarantee that blog or informational content will be complete, current, error-free, or suitable for any particular purpose.
Any examples, demonstrations, exercises, recommendations, or educational materials are intended as general guidance and may not be appropriate for every person, instrument, level, goal, or situation. You are responsible for using your own judgment and seeking appropriate professional guidance where needed.
9. No Warranties
The website, products, downloads, services, and related materials are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the website or materials will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, current, complete, compatible with every device or system, or free from defects or harmful components.
10. Liability, Indemnity, and Washington Consumer Protection
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary, or similar damages, including lost profits, lost opportunities, lost data, business interruption, or reputational harm, arising from or related to your use of the website, products, downloads, services, or materials.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the website, products, downloads, services, or these Terms and Conditions will not exceed the amount you paid for the specific product or service giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions is intended to limit, waive, or exclude rights that cannot be limited, waived, or excluded under applicable law, including Washington consumer protection requirements that apply to unfair or deceptive acts or practices. Product descriptions, pricing, refund information, service descriptions, and other material terms should be interpreted in a manner consistent with applicable consumer protection laws.
If you provide materials for use in a project, you grant us a limited license to use those materials as reasonably necessary to perform the requested service, communicate with you about the project, create drafts and final deliverables, maintain ordinary business records, and protect legal rights if needed. This limited license does not transfer ownership of your original material to us.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us and our permitted successors, assigns, service providers, and representatives from and against any claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to: your breach of these Terms and Conditions; your misuse of the website, products, downloads, services, or materials; your violation of applicable law; materials, files, recordings, compositions, lyrics, artwork, stems, reference tracks, or other content you provide; your lack of rights, permissions, licenses, releases, or clearances for materials you provide; claims that customer-provided materials infringe, misappropriate, or violate another person’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights; or your use, release, distribution, performance, publication, monetization, licensing, remixing, editing, or exploitation of final deliverables in a way that creates a third-party claim.
If a claim subject to indemnification arises, you agree to cooperate reasonably in the defense of the claim. We may, at our discretion, control the defense and settlement of any claim involving our rights, reputation, business, website, services, products, materials, or legal obligations. You may not settle any claim in a way that imposes liability, payment, admission of fault, ongoing obligation, or restriction on us without prior written consent.
This indemnity is intended to allocate responsibility for claims caused by your materials, actions, omissions, rights clearances, legal violations, or breach of these Terms and Conditions. It does not require you to indemnify us for liability that cannot lawfully be shifted under applicable law, including liability caused solely by our own willful misconduct or other non-waivable legal responsibility.
The limitations of liability, warranty disclaimers, and indemnity obligations in these Terms and Conditions are intended to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law and to survive termination of your use of the website, completion of services, delivery of products, or expiration of any project relationship.
11. Third-Party Services and Links
The website may use, reference, embed, or link to third-party platforms, services, payment processors, hosting providers, shipping providers, social media pages, music distributors, streaming services, or other websites. We are not responsible for third-party content, policies, security, availability, performance, or practices. Your use of third-party services may be governed by their own terms and policies.
12. Privacy
Your use of the website may involve the collection and use of personal information. Please review the Privacy Policy posted on the website for information about how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, retained, and protected.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our products, services, website, business practices, legal requirements, or other circumstances. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the website after updated Terms and Conditions are posted means you accept the updated terms.
14. Governing Law and Dispute Handling
These Terms and Conditions are intended to be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, unless applicable law requires otherwise. Because services may be provided internationally and products are currently sold only to customers in the United States, some customers may have mandatory legal rights in their place of residence that cannot be waived by these Terms and Conditions. Before starting a formal legal claim, you agree to contact us at info@julescalella.com and make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally.
If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, the parties may pursue available remedies in an appropriate court or forum as permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits any consumer rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.
15. Contact Information
