Terms of Service

Last updated: 29 July 2026

Early access. Cadanz is in early access and is provided free of charge. No company has yet been incorporated to operate it, and paid plans and payment processing are not currently offered. These terms are written to be deliberately general for that reason, and will be reissued — with the operating entity named and its registered details given — before any paid service begins. They have not been reviewed by a lawyer.

1. Agreement to terms

These terms govern your use of Cadanz — the website at cadanz.io, the web application, and the mobile applications (together, the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Service is currently operated on an individual basis by its founder, and no legal entity has yet been incorporated for it. References to “we”, “us” and “Cadanz” mean that operator. When an operating company is registered, these terms will be updated to name it, and continued use after that update will be subject to the revised terms.

2. The service

Cadanz is management software for dance schools and similar organisations. It provides tools to organise studios and rooms, plan terms and classes, generate session timetables, manage members and enrolments, record attendance, publish announcements and videos, and keep administrative records.

Two kinds of user exist. A school (an organisation, its owners, admins and instructors) uses Cadanz to run its activities. A member (typically a student) is invited by a school and uses Cadanz to see their schedule, enrol in classes and view what that school shares with them. The relationship between a school and its members — including what is taught, what is charged and what is agreed between them — is between those parties. Cadanz provides the software only.

The Service is under active development. Features may be added, changed or removed, and it may be unavailable at times.

3. Accounts & eligibility

You need an account to use most of the Service. You agree to give accurate information, to keep your credentials secure, and to be responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us promptly if you believe it has been used without your permission.

You must be old enough to enter into a contract where you live, and at least 16, to hold your own account. Where a school enrols a minor, the school is responsible for obtaining any consent required from a parent or guardian and for the accuracy of the information it records about them.

Accounts within a school are created by invitation. A school may change or remove a member’s access to its area of the Service at any time.

4. Plans and fees

The Service is currently provided free of charge during early access. No paid plans, subscriptions or trials are being sold, and we are not taking payment for the Service.

If paid plans are introduced later, we will publish the pricing and the terms that apply to them, and give reasonable notice before any charge applies to an existing account. Nothing here obliges you to pay for anything you have not agreed to.

5. Payments

Cadanz does not currently process payments. We do not take card details, we do not hold funds, and we are not a payment service provider or a party to any transaction between a school and its members.

Where the Service records a bill, a package or a payment, it is a bookkeeping record that the school itself enters and maintains for its own administration. Any money actually changing hands does so outside Cadanz, directly between the school and its member, on whatever terms they have agreed. Questions about a charge, a refund or a cancellation are for the school concerned, not for us.

If online payment is offered in future, it will be described separately and will not apply retroactively.

6. Acceptable use

Use the Service lawfully and reasonably. In particular, do not:

break the law, infringe anyone’s rights, or upload unlawful, abusive or harmful content;
upload someone else’s personal data without a proper basis for doing so;
try to access accounts, schools or data that are not yours;
probe, scan or disrupt the Service or the infrastructure it runs on;
reverse engineer, copy or resell the Service, except where the law expressly permits it;
use automated means to extract data at a scale that burdens the Service.

We may suspend or remove access that we reasonably believe breaches this section or puts other users, their data or the Service at risk.

7. Intellectual property

The Service — its software, design, branding and documentation — belongs to us and our licensors. These terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service while your account is active, and nothing more.

The content you or your school put into the Service — member records, schedules, announcements, videos, images and similar material — remains yours. You grant us only the permission needed to host, process, back up and display that content in order to operate the Service for you. You are responsible for having the rights to the content you upload.

8. Data protection

How personal data is handled is described in our Privacy Policy. In short: where a school uses Cadanz to manage its members, the school decides what is collected and why, and we process that data on the school’s behalf and on its instructions. For your own account and for the operation of the Service itself, we decide those things.

You can export or request deletion of personal data through the Service or by contacting us. A school that stops using Cadanz should export anything it needs to keep before closing its account.

9. Warranties & liability

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent the law allows. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will meet any particular requirement. This is early-access software provided free of charge, and you should keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, nor for lost profits, lost business, or lost or corrupted data.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or under mandatory consumer-protection law. If you are a consumer, you keep all rights the law gives you, and nothing here reduces them.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or end access if these terms are breached, if the law requires it, or if we discontinue the Service — and we will give reasonable notice where it is practical to do so.

On termination your right to use the Service ends. Give yourself time to export your data first: after an account is closed, its data may be deleted in line with the retention periods in the Privacy Policy, and we may not be able to recover it.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the Service develops — and we will certainly update them when an operating entity is incorporated or if paid plans are introduced. The date at the top of this page shows the current version. Where a change materially affects you, we will give reasonable notice through the Service or by email. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it; if you do not, stop using the Service and close your account.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the country in the European Union in which the operator is established, and the courts there will have jurisdiction — except that, if you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory law of the country in which you live, and may bring proceedings there.

The operating entity and its jurisdiction will be named in these terms once it is incorporated.
