Liszt Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 1, 2026

Last Updated: July 1, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Liszt, a platform provided by Liszt LLC (“Liszt,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

1. Overview

Liszt is a web-based scheduling and administration platform designed primarily for educational institutions, including schools of music. Liszt enables organizations to manage events, scheduling, attendance, and related administrative processes.

Liszt may be used in two ways:

• Institutional Use: Liszt is licensed or authorized by an educational institution and used by faculty, staff, students, and other authorized users under the institution’s control.
• Individual Use: Liszt may also be used by individual users (such as independent instructors, performers, or administrators) outside of an institutional environment.

These Terms apply to both types of use. Where applicable, certain provisions apply differently depending on whether Liszt is used under an Institutional Account or an Individual Account.

2. Parties and Definitions

For purposes of these Terms:

• “Institution” means an educational organization or other entity that licenses or authorizes use of Liszt.
• “Institutional Account” means an account provisioned, managed, or controlled by an Institution.
• “Individual Account” means an account created and managed directly by an individual user without an associated Institution.
• “Authorized Users” means individuals (such as faculty, staff, or students) who are granted access to Liszt through an Institutional Account.
• “You” refers to:
  • (a) an Institution,
  • (b) an Authorized User acting under an Institution, or
  • (c) an individual using an Individual Account,

as applicable.

If you are using Liszt on behalf of an Institution, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that Institution to these Terms.

Liszt LLC is the provider of the Services.

Transition of Service Provider:

Effective July 1, 2026, operation of Liszt is transferred from NoteForge LLC to Liszt LLC. Liszt LLC assumes responsibility for providing the Services from that date forward.

Liszt is operated by Liszt LLC under license from NoteForge LLC. All intellectual property rights in the Liszt platform, including software, systems, and associated branding, are owned by NoteForge LLC. These Terms do not grant any ownership rights in the platform to users.

Subject to these Terms, Liszt LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Services for their intended educational, administrative, or professional purposes.

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

If you use Liszt through an Institutional Account, your use is also subject to any applicable institutional policies and administrative controls established by your Institution.
