Terms of Service

Last updated: October 25, 2026

The gist

Music with Kira is a small, independent business run by Kira Rappaport in Los Angeles, California. These Terms of Service ("Terms") describe your rights and responsibilities when you use this website (the "Site") and when you join Kira's classes and events. Please read them, and reach out if you have questions. If you don't agree to these Terms, please don't use the Site.

In these Terms, "Kira," "we," and "us" mean Kira Rappaport doing business as Music with Kira, and "you" means anyone using the Site or taking part in our classes and events. Together with our Privacy Policy and any other rules we post on the Site, these Terms are "the Agreement."

1. Using the Site

The Site shares information about Kira's Parent and Me music classes, private classes and parties, teacher workshops, family concerts, albums, and press. You don't need an account to use it. Please don't misuse the Site. For example, you agree not to:

• interfere with or disrupt the Site, or try to gain unauthorized access to it, its systems, or its accounts;
• send spam, malicious code, or anything unlawful, harassing, or abusive to us;
• use automated tools to overload the Site or to copy it in bulk; or
• violate anyone's privacy or rights.

2. Minimum age

The Site is for parents, caregivers, and teachers. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to register for classes. Children take part in classes only with a parent or caregiver.

3. Classes, workshops, and events

• Registering: To join a class, email Kira first to check that there's space, then send payment to hold your spot. Please RSVP before coming to a class. Tuition, dates, times, and locations are listed on the Classes page and may be updated from time to time.
• Payments: Payments are arranged directly with Kira. The Site doesn't process payments. Unless we say otherwise, tuition is for a full session, and enrollment during a session may be prorated.
• Cancellations and refunds: If you need to miss a class or cancel, please email Kira as soon as you can. Any make-up, credit, or refund is as described on the Classes page or agreed with Kira in writing when you register. Where the law gives you a right to a refund, that right is unaffected.
• Changes: Kira may change the schedule, location, or format of a class, move a class indoors or reschedule it because of weather or other circumstances, or cancel a class. We'll let registered families know as soon as reasonably possible.
• Ages: Classes are designed for the age ranges listed on the Classes page. Kira may suggest moving to a different class if another class is a better fit for your child.
• Caregivers and safety: A parent or caregiver must stay with and supervise their child throughout every class and event. You are responsible for your child's safety and behavior, for deciding whether an activity is suitable for your child, and for telling Kira about anything she should know in order to include your family safely. Classes include movement, music, and shared instruments and props, and often take place outdoors, so ordinary risks such as uneven ground, weather, and contact with other children and instruments are part of taking part.

4. Your messages

You're responsible for the messages you send us by email. Please make sure the information you give us is accurate. Please don't email us for emergencies, and don't send sensitive health or financial details by email.

5. Music, content, and intellectual property

The Agreement doesn't transfer any intellectual property to you. All of the music, recordings, songs, lyrics, text, photographs, videos, graphics, logos, and other content on the Site, as well as the names "Music with Kira" and "Kira Rappaport" (together, "Our Content"), belong to Kira or her licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Other trademarks, logos, and content that appear on or through the Site may belong to third parties.

You may view the Site and listen to Kira's music through the streaming links and the embedded player provided, and share links to the Site, for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, record, reproduce, distribute, perform publicly, adapt, or sell Our Content, or use it in a way that suggests Kira endorses you, without her written permission. If you'd like to use Kira's music or materials, for example in a classroom or program, please get in touch.

6. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you're giving us permission to use them without owing you anything, though we'll never publish your name or personal information without your permission.

7. Third-party services and links

The Site links to third-party services such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, YouTube Music, and Facebook, and to other websites, such as the sites of venues and schools that host classes. The homepage also embeds a Spotify player. We don't control these third parties and aren't responsible for their content, services, or privacy practices. A link or embed isn't an endorsement, and your use of any third-party service, including the embedded Spotify player, is subject to its own terms and policies.

8. Copyright concerns

We respect other people's intellectual property rights. If you believe something on the Site infringes your copyright, please email kirarappaport@gmail.com with a description of the work and where it appears on the Site, your contact information, and a statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn't authorized.

9. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the Site or our classes, or for legal reasons. When we do, we'll post the updated Terms here and change the "Last updated" date. Changes apply going forward. If you keep using the Site or our classes after a change, you're agreeing to the updated Terms. If the changes are significant, we'll try to let you know in another way as well.

10. Ending access

We may block or limit access to the Site, or decline to offer or continue to offer a class or service to someone, at any time if we believe someone has violated the Agreement or is making a class or the Site unsafe or unpleasant for others. You can stop using the Site at any time.

11. Disclaimers

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that the Site will be error free, secure, or always available, or that information on it, such as schedules, prices, and locations, will always be complete or current. Please confirm details with Kira before relying on them. Our classes are for enjoyment, music-making, and connection, and aren't medical, therapeutic, or developmental treatment or advice.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Kira won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of data or interruption of use, arising out of or related to the Site or the Agreement. Kira's total liability for any claim related to the Site or the Agreement is limited to the greater of $50 or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that can't be limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or willful misconduct. If you're a consumer in a country that gives you mandatory rights, those rights are not affected.

13. Indemnification

To the extent allowed by law, you agree to be responsible for, and to hold Kira harmless from, claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that arise from your misuse of the Site or your violation of the Agreement.

14. Governing law

Except where applicable law provides otherwise, the Agreement and any dispute arising out of or related to the Site are governed by the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and the proper venue is the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California. Nothing here affects any rights you have as a consumer to rely on the mandatory laws of the place where you live.

15. The rest of it

The Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Kira about the Site. If any part of it is found to be unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. If we don't enforce a provision, that doesn't mean we've given it up. You may not transfer your rights under the Agreement without our written consent.
