2. What DanceFinder is

DanceFinder is a calendar of dance events in the Nordic and Baltic countries. It helps you find what is happening and tells you who is running it.

Listings reach the calendar in two ways:

• Entered by a school. A dance school or its representative signs in and publishes its own classes.
• Collected from public sources. We collect public posts and event listings from Facebook groups and pages about dance in the Nordic and Baltic countries, and turn them into calendar entries. We publish the facts of the event and name the organizer. We do not send you to the social network the announcement was made on, and we do not reproduce the flyer.

3. We are not the organizer

This is the most important thing to understand about DanceFinder. We do not organize, run, host, teach, staff or supervise any class or event shown on this site. The school or organizer named in the listing does that.

We do not sell tickets and we take no payment for any class or event. Any payment happens directly between you and the organizer, under their terms, and we are not a party to it. Any refund, cancellation or complaint about an event is a matter between you and the organizer.

A listing on DanceFinder is not an endorsement, a recommendation, or a promise that an event meets any particular standard.

4. Listings can be wrong or out of date

Events change. They get moved, cancelled, sold out, or repriced, and the person who posted the original announcement does not always update it. Listings we collected automatically carry an extra risk: they were read out of a public post by software, and a post can be unclear, incomplete or ambiguous about a date, a time or a place.

Always check the time, place, price and availability with the school or organizer before you travel or pay. A listing here describes an announcement made somewhere else at some earlier moment, and the organizer is the authority on their own event, not our copy of it.

We correct listings when we learn they are wrong. Tell us about one at info@dancefinder.eu, or use the correction request form on the listing if you have an account.

5. If a listing is about you

If you are the organizer or teacher named in a listing we collected, you can have it corrected or removed. Write to info@dancefinder.eu with a link to the listing. You do not have to explain why.

We remove it and record the original source, so the same post is not collected again on a later scan. The Privacy Policy explains this in full, including the legal basis we rely on.

6. Your account

Some features need an account. You are responsible for the details you give us and for keeping your sign-in credentials safe. Tell us if you think someone else has access to your account.

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account on your own behalf. Some countries set a lower age for agreeing to an online service, as low as 13, and where the country you live in does that, its age applies to you instead.

You can delete your account at any time from your account settings. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, is used to abuse the service, or is used to harm another user.

7. Registering for a class

When you register for a class through DanceFinder, you are telling the school that you intend to attend. Whether that creates a booking, and on what terms, is decided by the school. We pass on your intent; we do not reserve a place on your behalf and we do not guarantee one.

Registration can be refused or changed by the rules the listing carries, for example a capacity limit or a cutoff time before the class starts. When a class is full you may be able to join a waitlist instead. A waitlist place is not a booking.

Please cancel in the app if you cannot attend, so the place can go to someone else.

8. If you publish classes as a school

If you use a provider account to publish classes, you confirm that you are entitled to represent that school, that the information you publish is accurate, and that you have the right to use any text and images you upload.

Keep your listings current. Archive or cancel a class that is no longer running, because people rely on the calendar to decide where to go. You are responsible for the classes you publish and for what happens at them.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• try to reach data belonging to other users, or areas you are not entitled to use;
• interfere with the service, its security measures, or its rate limits;
• copy the calendar in bulk by automated means without our written permission;
• publish anything unlawful, misleading, or that infringes the rights of others;
• use the service to send unsolicited messages to other users.

10. Content and rights

The DanceFinder name, design and software belong to us. Event text and images that came from a school or from a public listing belong to whoever created them. We show enough of that material to identify the event and we link back to the source. If you hold rights in material shown here and want it removed, write to info@dancefinder.eu and we will act on it.

11. Availability and changes

We aim to keep DanceFinder available, but we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted or error free. We may change, suspend or withdraw features, and we may take the service down for maintenance.

We may update these terms. If a change matters to you, we will show the new date at the top of this page, and for a significant change we will tell account holders. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it.

12. Our responsibility to you

DanceFinder is provided as it is. We are responsible for our own failure to provide the service with reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for what an organizer does or fails to do, for an event that is cancelled, moved or different from its listing, or for a journey you made or money you spent on the basis of a listing that turned out to be wrong.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for intentional harm, or for gross negligence. If you use DanceFinder as a consumer, your statutory rights under Estonian and European law are not affected by anything written here.

13. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by Estonian law. If you are a consumer, this does not remove the protection given to you by the law of the country where you live.

Please write to info@dancefinder.eu first, so we can try to resolve the problem directly. If we cannot, a consumer in Estonia may take the matter to the Consumer Disputes Committee at the Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority: https://ttja.ee/en. Otherwise, disputes are settled by the courts of Estonia.
