Terms and Conditions

Last updated: June 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of Chord-Calculator.com and all tools, articles, and content provided on this website. Chord-Calculator.com is operated by Liam (contact available via the Contact page).

By accessing or using Chord-Calculator.com, you agree to these Terms and Conditions in full. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.

1. Purpose of the Website

Chord-Calculator.com is an independent educational website providing free browser-based music theory tools and educational content about chord construction, interval theory, harmonic function, and scale theory.

The website is intended for educational use, musical practice, and general reference. It is not designed to replace professional music instruction, formal music education, or expert musical guidance.

More information about the site’s purpose is on the About page.

2. Use of the Tools

The Chord Calculator, Chord Finder, and Interval Calculator are pure calculation and lookup tools. They require no microphone access, capture no audio, and do not interact with any device sensor or input beyond receiving the note names, chord names, or interval inputs you type or select.

By using these tools, you acknowledge that:

Outputs are mathematically exact calculations derived from established music theory interval formulas
The accuracy of outputs depends on the accuracy of your input — the tools compute correctly from whatever input they receive
Where multiple valid chord names exist for a given set of notes, or where enharmonic equivalents apply, the tools return all valid results with explanations — choosing the most appropriate result for a specific musical context requires the user’s own musical judgment
Results are provided for educational and general reference purposes and are not a substitute for musical training or professional music instruction

3. No Professional Advice

Chord-Calculator.com does not provide:

Professional music lessons or personalised instruction
Composition, arrangement, or production services
