Terms of Use
Last updated: November 8, 2026
These Terms of Use govern your use of fretshape.com ("Fretshape", "the site"). By accessing or using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
The service
Fretshape provides free, browser-based guitar practice tools — including an interactive fretboard, chord progressions, backing tracks, theory guides, licks, a tuner, and a metronome — for personal, educational use. No account is required.
Provided "as is"
The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We work to keep the tools accurate and available, but we do not guarantee that the site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that every diagram or explanation will suit your particular instrument, tuning, or learning goals.
Your responsibility
You are responsible for how you use the tools and content. Fretshape content is educational material for musicians; it is not a substitute for instruction tailored to you, and we are not liable for any damage to instruments, equipment, or hearing arising from use of the site — play at sensible volumes and take breaks.
Intellectual property
The site's design, text, diagrams, and tools are the property of Fretshape and Carlos Almeida, except for third-party content used under license or as permitted by law. You may use the site for your own practice and teaching. You may not copy, redistribute, sell, or build commercial products from the site's content, layout, or code without prior written permission.
Acceptable use
- Do not attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the site or its server.

Advertising and third-party links
The site is supported by advertising served by third parties such as Google AdSense. Ads and external links are provided by those third parties; we are not responsible for their content, products, or services. Our Privacy Policy explains how advertising cookies work and how you can opt out of personalized ads.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Fretshape and Carlos Almeida will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the site.
