Terms of Service

Last updated: September 2026

Welcome to Himig. These terms govern your use of our platform — the courses, live classes, community, and interactive tools we've built for musicians like you. Please read them. They're written to be clear, not to bury you in legalese.

1. Who We Are

Himig is an online music education platform operated from the Philippines. Our mission is to protect and advance human musicianship — real skills, real community, real connection. When we say "we," "us," or "Himig," we mean the company and team behind this platform.

For questions about these terms, contact us at: hello@himig.co

2. Your Account

To access most features, you need an account. You must provide accurate information when signing up — your name and email address. You're responsible for keeping your password secure and for everything that happens under your account.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian should review these terms with you.

We can suspend or close an account that violates these terms or harms the community. We'll try to warn you first unless the violation is serious.

3. Cost

Himig is currently free. There are no paid plans, trials, or subscriptions, and we do not collect payment details. You need a free account to use the platform so your practice and progress are saved.

If we introduce paid plans in the future, we will tell you in advance by email and in the app, and nothing will be charged without your explicit agreement.

4. Live Classes and Events

Live classes are free for members. Tickets are not sold on Himig at this time.

Classes take place via video conferencing (built-in Jitsi room or external link provided by the instructor). We are not responsible for technical issues on third-party video platforms.

If a live class is cancelled by the instructor, we will do our best to facilitate a refund of any ticket cost paid. Reach out to us if this happens.

5. Course Content and Intellectual Property

All courses, lessons, and materials on Himig belong to the instructors who created them or to Himig where noted. Your account gives you personal, non-transferable access to content — not ownership.

You may not copy, redistribute, record, or resell any content from the platform. This includes course videos, sheet music, lesson notes, and any other materials.

Content you post in the community — posts, comments, shared music — remains yours. By posting, you give Himig a non-exclusive licence to display it on the platform. We will not sell your content to third parties.

6. Teacher Accounts

Teachers on Himig go through an application process. Approval is at our discretion. Once approved, teachers may create courses, host paid live classes, and maintain a public educator profile.

Teachers are responsible for the accuracy and quality of the content they create. Himig reserves the right to remove content that violates our community standards or these terms.

Revenue sharing terms for teacher course sales are communicated separately during the application process.

7. Community Standards

Himig exists to celebrate and protect human musicianship. We expect everyone in our community to treat each other with respect. The following are not allowed:

  • Harassment, bullying, or personal attacks
  • Spam or self-promotion unrelated to music education
  • Sharing others' copyrighted music without permission
  • Impersonating other members or instructors
  • Sharing harmful, explicit, or illegal content

We reserve the right to remove posts or accounts that violate these standards.

8. Disclaimers and Limitations

Himig is provided "as is." We work hard to keep the platform running smoothly, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted service. We are not liable for technical outages, data loss, or indirect damages arising from your use of the platform.

Music education outcomes depend on your practice and effort. We cannot guarantee specific results from using our courses or tools.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email or by a notice in the app. Continued use of the platform after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of the Philippines, unless otherwise required by applicable local law in your jurisdiction.
