All sales are final. Because all content (videos, MIDI files, tutorials, and licensed materials) is digital and non-returnable, we do not offer refunds, partial refunds, or credits for unused time. This applies to both the monthly membership and any download premium package. Exceptions are only made if required by applicable Canadian law (British Columbia’s Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act generally exempts digital goods from cooling-off periods).
4. Account & Access
You do not create a separate user account. Your access is tied to your email address and payment confirmation.- Monthly membership remains active for 30 days from purchase. If the next monthly fee is not paid, access expires immediately at month end with no grace period.
- Download product buyers retain permanent access to purchased materials, even if monthly membership lapses. However, you may not share, sell, or redistribute any files.
5. Content Ownership & License
Our original content: All videos, MIDI files, tutorials, and written materials created by Ronald Lemire are protected by copyright. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use them for personal guitar learning only.- MIDI backing tracks: Membership-purchased, SoloBand downloadable MIDI files are exclusively licensed by SoloBand for both private and public use as a performance tool for local musicians.
- Licensed third-party videos: We pay for the right to display certain music videos on the Website. You may not download, screen-record, share, or publicly perform them.

10. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of British Columbia. You waive the right to a class action.
