Terms and Conditions

Last updated: June 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of Tempo-Finder.com and all tools, articles, and content provided on this website. Tempo-Finder.com is operated by Olivia (contact available via the Contact page).

By accessing or using Tempo-Finder.com, you agree to these Terms and Conditions in full. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.

1. Purpose of the Website

Tempo-Finder.com is an independent educational website providing free browser-based BPM and tempo tools and educational content about tempo measurement, music production, and genre tempo conventions.

The website is intended for educational use, personal music practice, and general reference. It is not designed to replace professional music instruction, professional music production services, or expert musical judgment.

More information about the site’s purpose is on the About page.

2. Tap Tempo Tools — No Audio Required

The tap tempo tools — including the Tempo Finder and Tap Tempo tool — calculate BPM from the timing of your keyboard or mouse input. These tools require no microphone access and capture no audio from your device.

By using these tools, you acknowledge that:

BPM results are mathematical estimates based on the consistency of your tapping
Accuracy improves with more consistent taps and more taps overall
Results should be verified by ear and treated as a starting point for tempo confirmation

3. Audio Beat Detection — Microphone and File Upload

The audio beat detection tools require either microphone access or an uploaded audio file to analyse tempo.

By using these tools, you acknowledge that:

Microphone access is requested through your browser’s standard permission system — never without your explicit approval
All audio processing occurs locally within your browser using the Web Audio API
Audio is not recorded, stored, uploaded, or transmitted to any server
No audio data is retained after you close or leave the tool page
Uploaded audio files are processed locally — they do not leave your device
Results may vary significantly depending on musical content, microphone quality, and acoustic environment

Full details of audio handling are in the Privacy Policy and Data Security pages.

4. Tool Accuracy and Limitations

All BPM and tempo tools on this site produce estimates — not certified measurements. Results are subject to the accuracy variables documented in the Disclaimer and How It Works pages, including:

Human tapping consistency (tap tempo tools)
Musical content characteristics — swing, sparse percussion, tempo drift (audio tools)
Half-time and double-time ambiguity
Microphone quality, background noise, and browser implementation (audio tools)

You assume full responsibility for how you interpret and use any results generated by the website.

5. No Professional Advice

Tempo-Finder.com does not provide:

Professional DJ mixing or music production consultation
Certified music education, theory instruction, or examinations
Sound engineering or studio services
Music licensing or copyright guidance
