2. Intellectual Property
All content on the Website, including but not limited to video lessons, audio recordings, PDFs, worksheets, graphics, text, course structure, and branding, is the exclusive intellectual property of Weiss Guitar Academy and Daniel Weiss.

3. User Accounts
To access certain features, you may need to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update your information as necessary. You must not share your login credentials with others.
Weiss Guitar Academy reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, are inactive for an extended period, or are used fraudulently.
4. Subscription Services
This section applies to recurring subscription products, including the Improvisers Academy, offered through learn.weissguitar.com.
4.1 Available Plans
| Plan | Price (USD) | Billing Cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $39 per month | Renews monthly |
| Annual | $228 per year | Renews yearly |
The annual price of $228 is available to new members until December 31, 2026. If you join at $228, your membership renews at $228 for as long as that original subscription stays active. If you cancel and join again later, the price in effect at that time applies. There is no trial. All prices are in United States Dollars (USD). Applicable taxes may be added at checkout based on your location.
4.2 Auto-Renewal and Recurring Billing
Your subscription renews automatically.
By subscribing, you authorize Weiss Guitar Academy to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the price of your plan, subject to the $228 annual renewal guarantee in Section 4.1 and to Section 4.5. Monthly plans renew on the same calendar date each month. Annual plans renew on the same calendar date each year.
You will be charged automatically until you cancel. We send renewal notices and reminders where required by applicable law.
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) as implemented in Cyprus, and applicable U.S. state auto-renewal laws, including California Business and Professions Code Sections 17600-17606.
4.3 Payment Processing
Payments are processed by Stripe, which is certified as a PCI DSS Level 1 service provider. Your card details are tokenized and stored securely by Stripe. Weiss Guitar Academy never sees or stores your full card number.
If a renewal payment fails, Stripe may retry the payment according to our billing settings (for subscriptions started under previous terms that promised these limits, no more than 8 times and over no more than two weeks) and email you instructions for updating your payment method. Your access normally continues during the retry period. If all attempts fail and the subscription is canceled, Academy access ends when that cancellation takes effect.
4.4 Cancellation
You can cancel your subscription at any time, either through the subscription dashboard on learn.weissguitar.com or by emailing [email protected]. We will process email requests within one business day.
- When you cancel, no further payments are taken. You keep full access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
- 14-day money-back guarantee: if you cancel or ask for a refund within 14 days of your first payment (monthly or annual), you are eligible for a full refund of that payment. Cancelling on its own keeps your access until the end of the period you have paid for; if you take the refund, your membership ends when the refund is issued.
- After the first 14 days, payments already made, including renewal payments, are not refundable under our voluntary money-back guarantee, except where a refund is required by applicable law.
Cancellation stops future charges. It does not refund time already paid, except under the 14-day guarantee or where applicable law requires a refund.
4.5 Price Changes
Weiss Guitar Academy may change the price of its plans for new members at any time. This section does not apply to the $228 annual renewal guarantee in Section 4.1: a membership that joined at $228 per year renews at $228 for as long as that original subscription stays active. For any other existing membership, if we increase the price of your plan, we will notify you at least 30 days before the new price takes effect via the email address associated with your account. If you do not agree, you may cancel before the next billing cycle. Continuing your subscription after the price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price.
4.6 Live Sessions
Improvisers Academy members get a live group session with Daniel every month on Zoom. The date and time are announced to members by email in advance, and every session is recorded and added to the archive. New lessons are added on an ongoing basis, not on a fixed schedule.
5. Refund Policy
Refund eligibility varies by product type. Please refer to our Refund Policy for complete details on digital courses, subscriptions, memberships, and private lessons.
6. Privacy Policy
We collect and process personal data to operate our services. For full details on what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
7. No Guarantees
Weiss Guitar Academy provides educational content and instruction. Your results depend on your own effort, practice, and dedication. We do not guarantee any specific learning outcomes, skill levels, or musical achievements.
The Website and all content are provided "as is" and "as available." Weiss Guitar Academy makes no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Weiss Guitar Academy's total liability to you for any claims arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the Website shall not exceed the total amount you have paid to Weiss Guitar Academy in the 12 months preceding the claim.
In no event shall Weiss Guitar Academy be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or goodwill, regardless of the theory of liability.
9. User Conduct
You agree to use the Website respectfully and lawfully. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account, without refund, if you:
- Share your login credentials with others
- Engage in harassment, abuse, or disruptive behavior during live sessions or in any community space

- Use the Website in any way that violates applicable law

10. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Subject to the next sentence, legal proceedings shall be brought in the competent courts of the Republic of Cyprus. If you are a consumer resident in the EU or EEA, nothing in these Terms deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence, including your right to bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live (Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012, Articles 17 to 19).
11. Dispute Resolution
If a dispute arises, we invite you to contact us first at [email protected] so we can try to resolve it informally. Most issues can be sorted out with a quick conversation. This step is optional for consumers: you do not have to wait before using any right or remedy available to you. Formal proceedings follow Section 10.
12. Modifications
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via email or through a prominent notice on our Website at least 14 days before the changes take effect.
Your continued use of the Website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you should discontinue use of the Website and cancel any active subscriptions.
