Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of the Terms

By accessing or using this website, you confirm that you have read and understood these Terms and agree to be bound by them. If you are using the website on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Minimum age: the website is intended for individuals aged 16 and over. If you are under 16, you may use the website only with the involvement and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy are incorporated by reference into these Terms. They explain how we handle personal data and cookies.

2. Important Disclaimers (Music Education)

DM HOLDING Piano Studio provides piano education services and informational materials related to music practice, technique, repertoire coaching, and performance preparation. Any content on this website is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute professional medical advice, physical therapy advice, or a diagnosis of any condition.

Piano practice involves physical movement and, depending on technique and intensity, may create discomfort or strain. If you experience pain, numbness, or persistent discomfort, you should stop and consult an appropriate healthcare professional. We may provide general technique guidance (posture, movement efficiency, tension awareness), but we do not provide medical treatment.

Results vary. Progress depends on factors including prior experience, practice consistency, repertoire difficulty, and scheduling. We do not offer guarantees of outcomes, competition placements, exam results, auditions, or professional opportunities.

3. Description of the Website and Services

The website describes lesson formats offered by DM HOLDING Piano Studio, including studio-based sessions in Paris and online sessions. It also provides ways to contact us, request availability, and ask questions about lesson structure, scheduling, and studio policies.

The website and any content on it are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We may update or change content, including lesson descriptions, availability, and studio information, without notice. We may also suspend or discontinue any part of the website at any time.

Enquiries submitted through our contact forms are requests for information and scheduling. They do not create a binding agreement for lessons until DM HOLDING Piano Studio confirms scheduling and any applicable terms for a specific lesson arrangement.
