Terms of use

1. Who we are and what you are accepting

Dancetomic (the «Service») is operated by Amazing Capital LLC, registered at 651 N Broad St, Suite 201, Middletown, DE 19709, United States («we»). You can write to us at hello@dancetomic.com.

The Service includes the dancetomic.com website, the mobile app and any other means by which we offer it. By creating an account or using the Service you accept these terms and the privacy policy. If you do not agree, do not use it.

2. What Dancetomic is, and what it is not

Dancetomic is a listings service and directory for salsa, bachata, kizomba and related dance events, with a community of people who dance. It is free to use.

We do not organise, promote, manage or supervise any of the events that appear. We are an intermediary showing third-party information. The information for each event comes from:

• public Instagram posts, collected by an automated process;
• what the event organiser submits;
• what anyone submits through the suggestion form.

In all three cases the content belongs to a third party and we do not guarantee that it is accurate, complete or current. Times may have changed, prices may be out of date, addresses may be wrong, and events may be cancelled or never take place at all.

Always confirm with the organiser before travelling or paying anything. If you see something wrong, tell us from the event page itself and we will look into it.

3. Your account

• You must be 16 or over. If you are under 18, with your guardian’s permission.
• The details you provide must be truthful and kept up to date.
• One account per person. It is not shared, transferred or sold.
• You are responsible for keeping your credentials safe and for everything done from your account. Tell us straight away if you think someone has got into it.
• We may refuse a username that impersonates another person, a brand or an organiser.

4. What you post

Whatever you write, upload or post (the «Content») remains yours. We claim no ownership of it.

By posting it you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and transferable licence to host, store, reproduce, technically adapt (resize, compress, crop) and display it within the Service and in promoting it, including on public pages if you have chosen to make your profile public. This licence exists only so that we can provide the service, and it ends when you delete the Content, except for backups that are overwritten over time and for whatever other people have shared beforehand.

By posting something you represent and warrant that:

• you hold all the rights needed over that Content;
• it does not infringe copyright, trade marks, image rights, reputation, privacy or any other right of a third party;
• if identifiable people appear in it, you have their consent.

5. Prohibited conduct

You may not use the Service to:

• Harass, threaten, humiliate or intimidate anyone; pursue someone who has asked you to stop; or spread another person’s private details without permission.
• Spread hatred or discrimination on grounds of origin, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or any other status.
• Post sexually explicit, violent, graphic or harmful content, or anything related to the exploitation of children — which we will also report to the authorities.
• Impersonate another person, an organiser or an entity, or give a misleading impression of who you are.
• Post fake, invented or deliberately duplicated events, or manipulate the listings to harm another organiser.
• Send spam: advertising unrelated to dance, bulk or unsolicited messages, commercial schemes or aggressive recruitment.
• Extract data automatically (scraping, bots, harvesting profiles or contacts), access the Service by means other than our interface, or attempt to get around its limits, its security or its access controls.
• Interfere with how the Service works: overloading it, introducing malicious code, or reverse-engineering it.
• Break any applicable law.

6. Moderation

We may remove content, limit features, suspend or close an account when it breaches these terms, when the law requires it, or when it is necessary to protect users or the Service itself. In serious cases — someone’s safety, illegal content — we do so without prior notice.

We are not obliged to review everything that is posted and we do not review it in advance. We act when we become aware, whether by report or by our own detection. Reviewing one thing does not make us responsible for the rest.

If you think we have removed something of yours by mistake, write to us at hello@dancetomic.com and we will look at it again.

7. Reports and intellectual property

Every profile, comment and event has a way to report it; profiles also have a way to block. Whoever reports is not shown to the person reported. Blocking works in both directions and can be undone from your account.

If you believe content infringes your intellectual property rights, write to us at hello@dancetomic.com stating: what the work is, where the content is on Dancetomic, your contact details, and a statement that you are acting in good faith and are authorised to do so. We remove what is appropriate and notify whoever posted it. We close accounts that infringe repeatedly.

8. Organisers

If you post or claim events as an organiser, in addition to the above:

• You are responsible for the event being real, for the information being correct, and for keeping it up to date.
• You are responsible for meeting all your legal obligations: venue licences, capacity, safety, data protection for your attendees, tax and consumer law.
• You authorise us to display the event information and the images you provide within the Service and in promoting it.
• Your relationship with attendees is yours, not ours. We are not a party to it.

9. Tickets and payments

Dancetomic does not sell tickets, does not take payment, does not act as a payment intermediary and does not receive any commission. When you book a ticket, what you are doing is telling the organiser that you want to go. The price, the method of payment, confirmation, refunds, changes and admission to the venue are entirely a matter for the organiser.

Any issue with a ticket, a payment or a cancellation is resolved directly with whoever organises the event. If a link takes you to a third-party ticketing platform, that purchase is governed by that platform’s terms.

10. Third-party services and links

The Service relies on external providers (authentication, hosting, database, email, maps) and contains links to sites we do not control, such as Instagram or organisers’ own websites. We are not responsible for their content, their policies or their availability.

11. Availability of the Service

The Service is provided «as is» and «as available». We do not guarantee that it will run uninterrupted or error-free, that it will be free of faults, or that the information is accurate or complete. We may modify, suspend or discontinue it, in whole or in part, at any time; if it is going to be permanent, we will give reasonable notice where possible.

We do not guarantee that your content will be kept indefinitely. If something matters to you, keep a copy.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for:

• what happens at an event, or for personal injury or damage to property suffered while attending one;
• an event not going ahead, being cancelled, changing date, place or price, or not being as advertised;
• content posted by other people or by organisers;
• agreements, payments or disputes between you and an organiser or between users;
• indirect damages, loss of profit, loss of data or loss of opportunity.

Where we are liable and that liability can lawfully be limited, it is limited to fifty euros (€50), this being a free service for which you have paid nothing.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits our liability for wilful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by our negligence, nor any right the law gives you as a consumer that cannot be excluded by contract. We say so expressly because a clause attempting to go further would be void, and its invalidity does not affect the rest.

13. Indemnity

If a third-party claim is brought against us because you breached these terms — or because of content you posted — you agree to hold us harmless from the resulting damages, costs and reasonable defence expenses, except to the extent they are attributable to us. If you are a consumer, this applies only where you have acted with wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

14. Our property

The Dancetomic name, its logo, the design of the Service, its code and its selection and arrangement of content belong to us. You may use the Service for its purpose, but not copy it, reproduce it or systematically exploit its content without our written permission.

15. Duration and closing your account

You can stop using the Service whenever you like. To close your account, go to My account and press «Delete my account»: it is deleted straight away. See the privacy policy for what happens to your data.

We may close or suspend your account for breach of these terms. The sections on content already shared by third parties, intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law survive closure.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update them. If a change is substantial, we will say so within the Service or by email with reasonable notice, and we will update the date above. If you carry on using the Service after they take effect, you are taken to accept them; if not, you can close your account.

17. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of the State of Delaware (United States), without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland or any other country whose law gives you that protection, nothing above deprives you of the protection of the mandatory rules of your country of residence, and you may bring your claim before the courts of your own domicile. The European Commission also provides an online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

18. Miscellaneous

If a clause turns out to be invalid, it is replaced by the closest valid equivalent and the rest remains in force. Our not exercising a right does not mean we waive it. You may not assign your position under this agreement; we may assign ours in the event of restructuring or a sale of the business, without diminishing your rights. These terms and the privacy policy are the entire agreement between us regarding the Service.
