Terms of use
The terms that apply when you use Kurtempo: music rights, what the rules reference can be relied on for, your data and what stays free.
Last updated 19 October 2026
What this is
Kurtempo is a planning tool for a dressage freestyle. It measures tempo from your taps, stretches the music you load to that tempo, checks the ridden time against a reference copy of your level's rules and prints a cue sheet and a floor plan.
Music rights
Kurtempo supplies no music. You are responsible for having the right to use, edit and play every track you load. The music file the builder makes is a copy of your tracks, edited for you; it does not change who owns them.
Some shows and streamed events require licensed music. Check your show's rules.
The rules reference
Time limits and compulsory movements are copied from the federations' published documents, with the source and the date each was checked. They are for planning only. Your federation's current rulebook and test sheet, and the judges on the day, decide. Federation names are used descriptively. Kurtempo is not affiliated with the FEI, USDF, USEF, British Dressage or any federation, and does not supply music.
What is free
The magic step, the tap tempo tool with its results, the levels reference and one saved freestyle with backup export and import are free to use with no account and stay that way. When billing is enabled, a paid tier adds the assembly across every segment, crossfades, the time check, the WAV export and the PDFs. Nothing free is moved behind a gate to make room for it.
Your data
Anything the site remembers is stored by your own browser on your own device. You can clear it at any time, we cannot recover it, and it does not follow you to another device. The video and music files are never stored or sent anywhere. Save a backup file if your segments and taps matter to you.
Refunds
Not happy with a purchase? Email [email protected] within 14 days of a first purchase, or within 7 days of a renewal, and we will refund it. Send the message from the email address you used at checkout, and include:
- the email address used at checkout (if you are writing from a different address)
- your access code, shown on the Premium page while you have Premium on the browser you purchased from
- roughly when you purchased, and which plan (weekly, yearly or lifetime)
- the last 4 digits of the card, if you have the receipt handy
That is everything needed to find the purchase and process the refund. This policy does not limit any statutory rights you may have.
Acceptable use
Use the site to prepare freestyles for yourself, your own horses and the riders you help. Do not scrape it at a rate that degrades it for other people.
Warranty and liability
The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, Kurtempo is not liable for any loss arising from its use, from a score or penalty at a show, or from reliance on the rules reference. Check the rules for your class before you ride.

Questions, and reports of a result that breaks a rule stated on the how it works page or a rule that has changed, go to[email protected]. A result that breaks a stated rule is a defect and gets fixed.
