Terms of use — beta
These terms cover the Praxis Percussion beta, operated by Backwerd Rimshot, LLC ("Praxis Percussion", "we"). By requesting access or using the service, you agree to them. A limited paid founding pilot is available to adults. Real student information may be handled only in an organization explicitly activated and labeled "Real student records."
Check the workspace label before entering student information. Accounts are for teachers, directors, and other adults. A workspace labeled "Fictional records only" accepts fictional examples only. Real student information belongs only in a workspace explicitly labeled "Real student records," and remains subject to that organization's approved scope.
Praxis Tech Workspace
Praxis Tech Workspace is for adults managing independent percussion-service operations. Do not enter student-private information in Tech. Tech is a private provider workspace, not a marketplace, an LMS, or a payment processor. Client organizations and contacts are adult operational records; a public profile is optional, and directors do not receive Tech accounts or a client portal.
Praxis Tech membership is $7 per month or $70 per year. The 30-day trial requires no payment card and does not automatically become a charge. To continue after the trial, you add a payment method yourself. You may cancel from Membership at any time and keep access through the period already paid for. If you ask within 30 days of your first Tech membership payment, we will refund it in full; paid access ends when that refund is completed.
Praxis charges only for workspace membership. Directors pay technicians directly. Tech may record invoice and payment status for completed billable work, but it does not send invoice documents or collect Tech-to-director payments.
Who may use Praxis Percussion
- You must be 18 or older and use Praxis Percussion for teaching or evaluating it.
- Access to the teaching platform is by request and granted at our discretion. We may decline or withdraw access.
- Keep your sign-in link and any access codes to yourself. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has used your account.
- The free student practice apps require no account and may be used by anyone.
Your content
You keep ownership of what you enter — lesson records, library and inventory entries, repertoire plans, and similar. You give us permission to store and process it only to operate the service for you. We do not sell it, use it for advertising, or share it beyond the infrastructure described in the privacy notice. You may request a copy or deletion at any time.
Copyright and the sheet music library
The library stores descriptive information about music you own — titles, publishers, holdings, and physical copies. It does not store or distribute scores or parts, and it must not be used to circumvent copyright. You are responsible for the legality of the copies you hold and for what you record about them.
Acceptable use
- Do not enter real student information in a workspace labeled "Fictional records only," or outside an activated organization's approved scope.
- Do not attempt to access another organization's data, probe or disrupt the service, or bypass the student-data controls.
- Do not upload unlawful content or use Praxis Percussion to infringe copyright.
- Do not resell or provide the service to others as your own.
What we do not promise
This is a beta. It is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. We do not promise it will be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose. Activated production Tech workspaces are not treated as disposable, though this does not create a warranty or guarantee uninterrupted service.
Praxis Percussion reports what it observed and states what it did not measure. It does not evaluate physical playing — grip, rebound, tone, dynamics, or timing — and must not be used as if it did. Teaching judgements remain yours.
Studio founding pilot
A founding Studio pilot may be offered for $10 per month while service remains continuous. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid month, with no partial-month proration. On request within 30 days after the first payment settles, we will refund that first payment in full; a confirmed full refund ends paid access. The pilot's short-form agreement controls its exact scope and must be accepted before an invoice is sent.
During the initial pilot, commercial access operates in report mode: the service records when a paid-access rule would deny a feature but may not yet enforce that denial. This does not weaken the separate workspace data-mode, authorization, or student-data controls.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Backwerd Rimshot, LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for lost data or lost profits, arising from your use of the beta. Because the beta is our total liability is limited to the greater of fifty US dollars or the fees you paid us during the twelve months before the claim.
Ending access
You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the paid month, and ask us to delete your account. We may suspend or end access if these terms are broken — in particular if real student information is entered in a fictional workspace or outside an activated organization's approved scope — or if we discontinue the beta. We will give reasonable notice where we can.
Changes
If these terms change, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. Material changes will be sent to the email on your account. Continuing to use Praxis Percussion after a change means you accept it.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
