TabLift Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-10-13

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the TabLift browser extension, the TabLift Android and iOS apps, and this website (together, the "Service"), operated by Travis Gottsch ("we", "us"). By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

What the Service does

TabLift cleans up and reformats guitar tab and chord text, generates chord diagrams, and lets you save tabs/chords to a personal library. Core functionality works fully offline and without an account. Creating an account (via Google or Apple sign-in) is optional and enables syncing your library and settings across devices. A paid Pro subscription unlocks additional features described in the app and on this site.

Accounts

• You're responsible for maintaining the security of the account you sign in with (Google or Apple) and for all activity that happens under your TabLift account.
• You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. See our Privacy Policy for more on data handling.
• You can delete your account and all associated data at any time — see Data Deletion Instructions.

Subscriptions and billing

• Pro is a recurring subscription (monthly or yearly), billed and processed by Stripe (if you subscribe through our website), Google Play Billing (Android app), or Apple's In-App Purchase system (iOS app), depending on how you subscribe. We never see or store your card details in any case.
• New subscribers get a 7-day free trial. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, you'll be automatically charged and the subscription renews each billing period until cancelled.
• You can cancel anytime from the subscription management page (website), the Play Store (Android), or the App Store (iOS); cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep Pro access until then. We don't provide partial-period refunds except where required by law -- for purchases made through Google Play or the App Store, refund requests are handled by Google or Apple directly per their own policies.
• Prices are shown at checkout and may change in the future; we won't change the price of an active subscription without notice.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to infringe anyone's copyright or other intellectual property rights.
• Attempt to circumvent any rate limits, quotas, or Pro-tier gating built into the Service.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or redistribute the Service except as permitted by the software license below.
• Use the Service in any way that violates applicable law.

Third-party tab and chord content

TabLift can import and reformat tab/chord text you find on other websites, and its optional Search feature can surface results from third-party tab/chord sites. That content belongs to its original publishers, not to us — TabLift only stores a reference (like the title and source URL) for content imported from another website, never the third party's text itself, on our servers; that text stays on your device. Text you type or paste into TabLift yourself is stored with your account so it syncs across your devices. You're responsible for how you use any third-party content, and for having the right to save anything you add.

Copyright complaints

We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. See our Copyright Policy for how to send a notice or counter-notice to our designated agent.

Intellectual property

TabLift's software (the extension, the app, and this website) is proprietary and protected by copyright. It may not be copied, modified, distributed, or used without our express written permission. Your own saved tabs, chords, and library content remain yours; we don't claim ownership of anything you create or save.

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DON'T GUARANTEE THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT CHORD/TAB OUTPUT WILL BE MUSICALLY ACCURATE.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE.

Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access to the Service for anyone who violates these Terms, including repeat infringers under our Copyright Policy.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Changes to these Terms

If we make material changes, we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date above.
