RunThrough

Terms of Service

Effective date: June 29, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of RunThrough ("RunThrough," "we," "us," or "our"), the trade name of Carl Hinkle, who operates the Services as a sole proprietorship in Connecticut, United States, including our website at runthroughapp.io and our iOS and macOS applications (collectively, the "Services"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Please also read our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use information. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction to consent to use of the Services) to use RunThrough. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use the Services and that they have read and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

You may use the Services only on Apple devices and operating systems we support (currently iOS and macOS). You are responsible for any internet, data, or carrier charges incurred while using the Services.

RunThrough does not require you to create an account or sign in. Paid access is tied to your Apple Account through StoreKit. We may offer optional profile or account features in the future; if we do, additional terms will apply as described at that time and in an updated version of these Terms.

2. Description of the Services

RunThrough is a music practice application that helps you record practice takes, compare performances, organize practice sessions, and track progress over time. Features may include, without limitation:

  • Audio recording during practice sessions
  • Playback, comparison, and review of recordings
  • Practice scheduling and reminders
  • Course and lesson organization, including linked reference media
  • Sync of your data across your devices via iCloud (when enabled)
  • Optional integration with Apple Music for reference tracks
  • Import of audio and related content via the system share sheet and share extension

We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We do not guarantee that any particular feature will remain available.

3. License and Acceptable Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of any applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the RunThrough app on Apple devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

You agree not to:

  • Copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or reverse engineer the Services (except as permitted by applicable law)
  • Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation
  • Attempt to circumvent subscription, access, or security controls (including device attestation or rate limiting on our servers)
  • Use the Services to record, store, or distribute content without all necessary rights and consents (for example, recording another person without permission where required by law)
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Services, our servers, or networks connected to the Services
  • Use automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Services except as we expressly permit

Apple is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the Services or their content. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the app.

4. Your Content and Recordings

You own your content. Audio recordings, practice notes, schedules, course data, and other materials you create or import through the Services ("Your Content") remain yours. We do not claim ownership of Your Content.

How Your Content is stored. By default, Your Content is stored locally on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud and have iCloud sync enabled, Your Content may also be stored in and synced through your Apple iCloud account (including CloudKit and iCloud Drive), subject to Apple's terms and availability. We do not operate a separate RunThrough cloud account for your practice recordings at this time.

You grant us a limited license to process Your Content only as needed to provide the Services (for example, to play back a recording you request, generate a waveform, or sync data through iCloud on your behalf). We do not upload your practice recordings to our servers for storage unless a feature explicitly tells you otherwise.

You are solely responsible for backing up Your Content and for the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of Your Content. Deleting the app or disabling iCloud may result in permanent loss of data.

Profile and personalization

You may optionally provide profile or preference information (such as a display name or practice settings) to personalize the app. Providing this information is voluntary. It is stored on your device and, when iCloud sync is enabled, may sync through your Apple iCloud account. We do not require a RunThrough account to use these features today.

If we introduce optional sign-in or account features in a future update, we will describe what information is collected, how it is used, and any additional terms before or when those features become available. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data, including profile information.

5. Subscriptions and Purchases

RunThrough offers paid access through in-app purchases processed by Apple via StoreKit. Available offerings include auto-renewable subscriptions (monthly and annual plans) and a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscription plans may include an introductory free-trial period for eligible users. The specific products, prices, trial length, and billing period shown to you in the app and on the App Store at the time of purchase govern your transaction.

Free trial

Eligible subscription plans may include a free trial. Trial eligibility, duration, and which plans qualify are determined at our discretion and shown in the app at the time of purchase. If you start a free trial, you will not be charged until the trial ends unless you cancel before it ends. At the end of a free trial, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial period ends.

Lifetime purchase

The lifetime option is a one-time, non-consumable purchase that grants ongoing access to RunThrough without a recurring subscription. Lifetime access is tied to your Apple Account and may be restored on other devices using Restore Purchases, subject to Apple's and our then-current policies.

Auto-renewal

Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and upon each renewal. Your Apple Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your device's Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions (or equivalent on macOS).

Restore Purchases

If you reinstall the app or use RunThrough on another device signed in with the same Apple Account, use "Restore Purchases" in the app to restore subscription or lifetime entitlements. Family Sharing may be available for eligible purchases as indicated in the App Store; see Apple's documentation for details.

Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple. We do not have access to your payment information and cannot issue refunds directly. Refund requests must be submitted to Apple in accordance with Apple's policies. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.

Price changes

We may change subscription prices. If the price of a subscription increases, Apple will notify you in advance where required, and you may need to accept the new price to continue after the current period ends.

6. Third-Party Services and Content

The Services may integrate with or link to third-party services. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and policies:

  • Apple — App Store, StoreKit, iCloud, CloudKit, Apple Music, device permissions, and platform services
  • YouTube — when you link lessons or courses to YouTube videos, playback and metadata are subject to YouTube's terms. Some requests are proxied through our servers for API key protection and abuse prevention
  • PostHog — product analytics as described in our Privacy Policy

We are not responsible for third-party services, content, availability, or policies. Embedded or linked reference media (including YouTube videos) is provided for your convenience and does not constitute an endorsement.

7. Device Permissions and Notifications

Certain features require device permissions, including microphone access (to record practice audio), notification permission (for practice reminders and similar alerts), and Apple Music access (for reference playback). You may deny or revoke permissions in system settings; some features may not work without them.

Practice reminders are delivered as local notifications on your device. We do not guarantee delivery of notifications if you disable them, enable Do Not Disturb, or if your device or operating system limits delivery.

8. Intellectual Property

The Services, including software, design, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks (excluding Your Content), are owned by RunThrough or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license in Section 3, no rights are granted to you. "RunThrough" and related marks are our trademarks; you may not use them without our prior written permission.

9. Beta and Early Access

If you access RunThrough through a beta, TestFlight, or early access program, you understand that the Services may be incomplete, contain bugs, or change significantly. Beta access is provided "as is" and may be withdrawn at any time. Feedback you provide may be used by us without obligation or compensation.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

RunThrough is a practice tool. We do not provide professional music instruction, medical advice, or guarantees of improvement. Results depend on your own practice. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that data synced via iCloud will never be lost or corrupted.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE, OUR OPERATOR, AND OUR LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless RunThrough and its operator from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Services, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms or any third party's rights.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time by uninstalling the app and cancelling any active subscriptions through Apple. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or if we discontinue the Services.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15) will survive.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence require otherwise.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Connecticut, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction, except where applicable law requires disputes to be brought in your local courts.

If you are a consumer in the European Union, you may also have the right to bring claims in the courts of your country of residence.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective date" at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the app, our website, or other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, except where further consent is required by law.

16. Apple App Store Terms

The following applies to the RunThrough app obtained through the Apple App Store:

  • These Terms are between you and RunThrough, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app
  • In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any) to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation
  • Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability, legal compliance, or consumer protection claims
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary

You must also comply with applicable App Store terms of service.

17. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and RunThrough regarding the Services
  • Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a sale or transfer of the business that operates the Services.
