Terms of Service

Last updated: 3 June 2026

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you andIncubate & Innovate Limited (trading as LearnTheMusicBusiness.com)(“Learn the Music Industry”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), a company incorporated in England and Wales.

By accessing or using the Learn the Music Industry website and platform at puresignal.co.uk(the “Platform”), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform. If you are using the Platform on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. If you are between 16 and 18, you confirm that you have the consent of a parent or guardian where required by applicable law.

You may browse and access free public lessons without registering. To access account features (including progress tracking, personalised recommendations, and tier benefits) you must register using a valid e-mail address and password via our authentication provider (Supabase).

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. Please notify us immediately at the contact address below if you suspect unauthorised use.

3. Service tiers

Learn the Music Industry is offered across the following tiers:

Public (no account required). All core lessons, the interactive episode player, and the follow-the-money explorer are freely accessible to anyone without registration. No fee applies.
Verified Musician (free, account required). Registered users may apply for Verified Musician status by submitting a link demonstrating their activity as a working musician (for example, a distributor, label, or publisher page). Links are reviewed manually by our team. We do not guarantee approval and may decline any application at our discretion. Verified Musician status grants access to additional features as described on the Platform at the time of application.
Firm Seats (paid, organisation licence).Organisations (including accounting firms, management companies, and other music-industry businesses) may purchase a block of seats to onboard staff. Seat licences are governed by these Terms together with any applicable Order Form or Subscription Agreement entered into between the organisation and Learn the Music Industry. Payments are processed via Stripe (see section 8).

We reserve the right to introduce, modify, or discontinue any tier, feature, or pricing at any time, subject to reasonable notice where this materially affects an existing paid subscription.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

use the Platform for any unlawful purpose or in a way that violates any applicable law or regulation;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Platform, its servers, or any systems or networks connected to it;
scrape, crawl, or systematically extract content from the Platform without our prior written consent;
reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from Platform content except as expressly permitted by these Terms or in writing by us;
submit any Verification Link (see section 3) that is false, misleading, or belongs to another person;
use the Platform in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it or interfere with other users' enjoyment of it.

We may suspend or terminate access for any breach of this section without prior notice.

5. Educational content, not professional advice

Everything on Learn the Music Industry is for educational purposes only. Nothing on the Platform constitutes legal, financial, tax, accounting, or any other form of professional advice, and nothing should be relied upon as such.

Learn the Music Industry teaches the mechanics of music-industry deals, royalty structures, rights, and taxation. The lessons explain how these systems generally work. They do not tell you what to do with your money, your contracts, or your career. The illustrations are simplified models that make concepts legible; they are not valuations, forecasts, or recommendations.

Illustrative figures.Many of the numbers shown in lessons (rates, splits, advances, royalty calculations) are illustrative examples built to demonstrate mechanics. They are clearly labelled where they reflect a specific industry benchmark; where they do not carry a verified source, they are marked “Illustrative”. Do not use these figures to price your own deals.

Rates, terms, laws, and practices change. The Platform may not reflect the most recent legislative or industry developments. For any decision about your money, contracts, intellectual property, or tax affairs, you should consult a suitably qualified solicitor, accountant, or other regulated professional.

6. Intellectual property

All content on the Platform (including lesson text, interactive exercises, illustrations, diagrams, the episode player, the follow-the-money explorer, and underlying software) is owned by or licensed to Learn the Music Industry and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Platform for your own personal, non-commercial educational purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, or otherwise exploit any Platform content without our prior written permission.

Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you. References to third-party trade marks, organisations, or products on the Platform are for educational illustration only and do not imply endorsement by or affiliation with those parties.

7. User content

The primary user-submitted content on Learn the Music Industry is the Verification Link submitted as part of a Verified Musician application. By submitting a link, you represent that:

the link is genuine and relates to your own musical activity;
you have the right to submit it and it does not infringe any third party's rights;
it does not contain anything unlawful, defamatory, or harmful.

We may store, review, and act upon submitted links for the purpose of processing your application. We do not claim ownership of any content at the linked destination. Our use of your personal data in connection with applications is described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Payments and refunds

Firm Seat subscriptions are charged via Stripe, Inc., our third-party payment processor. By providing payment details, you authorise us to charge the applicable fees in accordance with the relevant Order Form or Subscription Agreement. All prices are shown exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise; VAT will be added where applicable under UK law.

Refund policy: to be confirmed following legal review (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and relevant B2B terms apply).

We are not responsible for any fees or charges imposed by your bank or payment provider. If a payment fails, access to paid features may be suspended until payment is successfully processed.

9. Termination

You may close your account at any time by contacting us at the address below. On closure, your account data will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Platform at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, or for any other legitimate operational reason. Where termination affects a paid subscription, we will provide reasonable notice except where the termination is for cause.

On termination, all licences granted to you under these Terms cease immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including sections 5, 6, 10, and 11) will continue to apply.

10. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other matter that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Subject to the above, Learn the Music Industry's total liability to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you have paid to us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) £100.

We shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, or punitive loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, business, or goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss.

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components.

If you are a consumer resident in the United Kingdom, these Terms do not affect your statutory rights.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Where we make a material change, we will notify registered users by e-mail (via Postmark) or by a prominent notice on the Platform, with at least 14 days' notice before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

We recommend you save or print a copy of these Terms for your records.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales. Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection provisions that apply in your country of residence.

If you are a consumer in the UK, you may also have the right to refer a dispute to an alternative dispute resolution scheme. Details are available from the Citizens Advice Bureau or the relevant approved ADR body.

13. General

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Learn the Music Industry in relation to the Platform and supersede all prior representations, agreements, or understandings. If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable; the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction. You may not assign your rights without our prior written consent.
