Terms of use

1. What this is about

Dancyra is a platform for dance events, dance schools and shops: find parties, festivals and workshops, save them and go, and add events, schools and shops yourself. These terms apply to the website dancyra.com and the Dancyra app. Dancyra is offered by Alexander Kant; the full details are in the imprint. How we handle your data is explained in the privacy policy.

By creating an account you agree to these terms. Dancyra is free.

2. What Dancyra is and what it is not

• Dancyra is a directory. It shows details of events, schools and shops that organizers and users add or that we take from public sources, such as organizers' websites and social media pages or messenger groups.
• We do not organize events, do not sell tickets and are not a party to contracts between you and organizers, schools or shops. Questions about tickets, prices, refunds and cancellations are for them.
• What organizers and users add is their content, not ours. We do not adopt it as our own, even when we display, translate or adapt it for display.
• Whether you go to an event is your own decision, and you do so at your own responsibility.
• Notifications, for example about changes or cancellations, are an extra service. We cannot promise that they arrive complete and on time.
• There is no right to particular features, to constant availability or to an entry being published. We may change, restrict or discontinue features. If we shut Dancyra down completely, we will say so at least four weeks in advance.

3. Your account

• You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
• Your details must be true. An account belongs to one person; do not share your login.
• You can delete your account at any time in the settings.
• We may end your use of Dancyra with two weeks' notice, and immediately for good cause, for example serious breaches of these terms.

4. What you add

You are responsible for everything you add, upload or write: events, schools, shops, texts, pictures, reports and messages. Only add what is true to the best of your knowledge.

Not allowed, without exception:

• illegal content;
• hate speech and discrimination, for example because of origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability;
• threats, harassment and bullying;
• sexual or pornographic content and depictions of violence;
• spam and advertising that has nothing to do with dance;
• entries you know to be false or made up;
• pictures, flyers and texts you have no rights to or no permission for;
• other people's personal data without their consent.

So that we can show your entries, you allow us to display them on Dancyra free of charge, to adapt them for display and to translate them, as long as they are online. You keep your rights to them.

Texts and pictures you send with "Quick entry" are read by an AI, which suggests an entry from them. The suggestion may contain mistakes. Check it before you confirm it; once confirmed, it is your entry.

If you culpably break these rules and others make claims against us because of it, for example over a flyer you had no rights to, you indemnify us against those claims, including reasonable costs of our legal defence.

5. Reporting, hiding, blocking

• Anyone can report events, organizers, schools, shops, people, messages, photos, comments and posts that break these rules. We usually look at reports within 24 hours.
• We hide content that breaks these rules or the law as soon as we learn of it. Whoever breaks them repeatedly or seriously can no longer add anything or is blocked.
• If we hide something of yours or restrict your account, we tell you why. You can write to us about it at any time.
• You yourself can block organizers and hide everything from a person. You will then no longer see their content.
• You can block a person. Their messages then no longer reach you, a friendship between you ends and you no longer see their events. They are not told. You can lift the block at any time.

6. Community entries

Events added by dancers are shown as "Unconfirmed" until others confirm them. Confirmed entries earn the person who added them plus points; entries we hide as wrong count against them. Whoever adds reliably becomes trusted; whoever repeatedly adds wrong entries can no longer add entries for everyone.

7. No guarantee, liability

Details without guarantee. All details on Dancyra, such as events, times, places, prices, line-ups, schools and shops, come from organizers, from the community or from public sources. This also applies to entries we add ourselves: we add them with care, but we do not owe that they are correct, complete and up to date or that an event takes place as stated. Check important details with the organizer before you buy tickets, book a trip or travel there.

Availability and errors. Dancyra is not always available without interruption, for example because of maintenance or faults, and like any software it may contain errors. Please also keep your own copy of content that matters to you, such as the texts and pictures of your events.

Liability. Dancyra is free. We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the Product Liability Act and where we have given a guarantee or fraudulently concealed a defect. For slight negligence we are only liable if we breach an essential obligation, that is an obligation without which Dancyra cannot be used at all and on which you may therefore rely, and even then only for the typical damage that was foreseeable when the contract was made. Otherwise we are not liable for slight negligence. These rules also apply to people who work for us.

8. Changes

We may change these terms, for example when new features are added. We will inform you of significant changes in good time beforehand, that is changes that affect your rights or duties (for example new costs, new rules for entries or a different use of your data).

9. Law and contact

German law applies. If you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer protection rules of the country you live in remain unaffected. Questions, notes and complaints: hallo [at] dancyra.com or through the support form.
