TERMS OF USE
Use of: https://pianounlocked.com “Piano Unlocked “
This policy is valid from September 4, 2020
The reading of all information on pianounlocked.com is of your own free will. If you do not accept these Terms and Conditions, you should cease use of this website immediately. I reserve the right to change any of these Terms and Conditions at any given time on this website.
I am an experienced concert pianist and piano teacher and I attempt to communicate my knowledge of piano technique clearly and to the best of my ability. However, video tutorials differ from live piano lessons in that I am unable to watch how you apply the information I communicate. I am therefore not able to provide feedback if you apply my practice suggestions incorrectly or in ways that may prove to be physically injurious. I am also not a medical professional. If anything you do at the piano causes you pain, STOP IMMEDIATELY and seek medical input from a medical professional along with live input from a qualified piano instructor.

HOLD HARMLESS
All the information provided on Piano Unlocked is for informational, educational, and (hopefully) entertainment purposes only. There are many piano teachers available, both online and in person, and you are the best judge of which teacher is most effective for you. I believe that my teaching will help you learn, but I cannot guarantee results, and I especially cannot guarantee that use Piano Unlocked will cause you to meet specific personal, musical, or professional aspirations.
Under no circumstances will I be liable for any loss or damage (including without limitation indirect or consequential loss or damage) or any loss or damage whatsoever arising from loss of data or profits arising out of or in connection with the use of this website. Again, if you experience physical pain, psychological distress, or any other adverse reaction while applying the suggestions on this website, stop immediately!
Although I try to keep Piano Unlocked running continually, access to the site may be temporarily or permanently suspended and without notice at my own discretion, due to possible updates or technical issues beyond my control. I will not be liable if for any reason the website is unavailable at any time or for any period of time. I will try to get the website back online as soon as possible.
Through this site you are able to link to other websites/blogs which are not under the control of myself or of pianounlocked.com. I have no control over the nature, content and availability of those sites. The inclusion of any links does not necessarily imply a recommendation or endorse the views expressed within them. If any links are affiliate links (meaning that I receive a small commission on any purchases made when visiting Amazon after clicking on the link) I will note it as such in the relevant post. If I do not identify a link as an affiliate link, that means it is not one; it is probably a link to a friend or colleague’s website.
I will present all reviews on my website honestly and I will disclose whether I will be receiving any commissions or other considerations for my reviews.
