Terms
Last updated 6 August 2026
MapSongs is a free web app for memorizing the chord structure and lyrics of songs. It is run by one person as a personal project. Using it means accepting what follows.
Your account
You need an email address to sign in. Keep your access to that inbox secure, since anyone who can read it can sign in as you. You may delete your account at any time — see the privacy policy.
Your songs are yours
The chord charts and lyrics you enter belong to you, are private to your account, and are not published anywhere by MapSongs. No ownership of them is claimed. They are also your responsibility: only enter material you have the right to keep a personal copy of. Lyrics and chord arrangements are usually somebody's copyright, and typing one into a private practice tool is a different act from publishing it. MapSongs gives you no way to do the second thing, deliberately.
If you believe content stored here infringes your rights, write to privacy@mapsongs.com and it will be dealt with.
Reasonable use
Do not attempt to reach other users' data, break the service for anyone else, or use it to redistribute copyrighted material. Automated bulk use is not what the app is for, and accounts doing it may be suspended.
Third-party services
MapSongs can play a recording alongside your chart, through YouTube. That is their service, not this one.
By using the YouTube feature you are also agreeing to the YouTube Terms of Service, and the embedded player's data collection is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
No promises about availability
MapSongs is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. It may be unavailable, may lose data, and may change or stop entirely. Keep your own copy of anything you would be upset to lose — every song downloads as a ChordPro file, and your library downloads as one backup file. To the extent the law allows, no liability is accepted for any loss arising from use of the app.
Changes
These terms may change. If they change in substance, the date at the top changes with them, and continuing to use the app means accepting the new version.
