By accessing or using Dance Director, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, have the legal authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or the organization you represent, and agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

Dance Director is a cloud-based studio management platform designed for dance studio owners and operators. The Service includes tools for:
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time with reasonable notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.
To use the Service, you must create an account and provide accurate, current, and complete information. You agree to keep your account information up to date at all times.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at support@dancedirector.io if you suspect any unauthorized access or security breach.
Dance Director will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account credentials.
Dance Director offers free and paid subscription plans. Paid plans are billed monthly, as selected at the time of purchase. By providing a payment method, you authorize Dance Director or our payment processor to charge the applicable fees.
All fees are stated in U.S. dollars and are exclusive of any applicable taxes, which are your responsibility. Subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or expressly stated in these Terms.
We may change our pricing at any time. If we change pricing for your current plan, we will provide at least 30 days' notice before the new pricing takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
Integrated Payment Processing. Dance Director may provide integrated payment-processing features that allow you to collect tuition, registration fees, merchandise purchases, ticket sales, and other payments from students, parents, guardians, or other customers. Payment-processing services are provided through one or more third-party payment processors and may be subject to additional terms, underwriting requirements, policies, and fees imposed by those processors.
By enabling integrated payment processing, you authorize Dance Director and its payment-processing partners to facilitate transactions on your behalf, including payment collection, settlement, refunds, reversals, and payouts. You are responsible for providing accurate business, banking, and account information required to use these services.
You are responsible for obtaining all permissions, authorizations, and consents required to charge your customers, including for recurring or automatic payments. You may not initiate a charge unless you have the authorization required by applicable law, card-network rules, and payment-processor requirements.
Payment-processing fees, platform fees, and other transaction-related charges may apply at the rates disclosed on our Pricing page, within the Service, or during payment-processing setup. Certain fees may be deducted from transaction proceeds before funds are deposited into your designated bank account.
You are responsible for refunds, disputes, chargebacks, returned payments, and other payment reversals associated with transactions processed through your account. Applicable amounts and related fees may be deducted from your available balance, future payouts, or otherwise collected as permitted by the applicable payment processor.
Payout timing and availability may depend on the applicable payment processor, financial institutions, card networks, and fraud or risk controls. Payments or payouts may be delayed, withheld, suspended, or subject to additional review as required by the payment processor or applicable law.
Dance Director does not guarantee that any payment will be authorized, successfully processed, or paid out within a specific period. Dance Director is not responsible for payment-processing interruptions, processor account restrictions, delayed payouts, banking delays, or other actions or omissions of third-party payment providers, except to the extent required by applicable law.
You are responsible for your own refund, cancellation, tuition, and payment policies and for resolving disputes relating to the goods or services you provide. Dance Director is not a party to the underlying transaction between you and your students, parents, guardians, or other customers.

You may cancel your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Unless otherwise stated, cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period, and we do not provide prorated refunds for unused time on a paid plan.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms, fail to pay amounts due, use the Service in a fraudulent or unlawful manner, create a security or operational risk, or otherwise misuse the Service. Where reasonably practicable, we will provide notice before suspending or terminating your account.
We may also suspend access immediately when necessary to protect the Service, our users, our payment-processing partners, or third parties from suspected fraud, security threats, legal or regulatory risk, or other harmful activity.

In no event shall our aggregate liability to you exceed the greater of (a) the total fees paid by you to Dance Director in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) $100.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email and/or by displaying a prominent notice within the Service at least 14 days before the changes take effect.
Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and cancel your account before the effective date.
