GTC

(1) These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) govern the use of the “udansa” platform (website udansa.com and mobile apps, hereinafter “Platform”). The operator of the Platform is udansa GmbH, c/o Impact Hub Dresden, Trompeterstraße 5, 01069 Dresden, registered in the Commercial Register of the Local Court of Dresden under HRB 46885, VAT ID No. DE458125160, represented by its managing director Bernhard De Luca, email: hi@udansa.com (hereinafter “udansa”, “we”).

(2) These GTC apply to all contracts between udansa and the persons who use the Platform (hereinafter “Users”). Separate Provider Terms apply to providers of courses and events (dance schools, studios, instructors, event organizers; hereinafter “Providers”).

(3) For the purposes of these GTC, a consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession (§ 13 BGB).

(4) Any terms and conditions of Users that deviate from these GTC will not form part of the contract unless udansa expressly agrees to their application.

(1) udansa provides a Platform on which Users can, in particular,

a. find and book dance courses and dance events offered by Providers,
b. find other people interested in dance and communicate with them (partner matching, chat),
c. create and maintain a User profile, and
d. subscribe to a paid Premium subscription with additional features.

(2) The Platform’s basic features are free of charge. Only services expressly identified as paid are subject to a charge, in particular bookings (§ 5) and the Premium subscription (§ 6).

(3) udansa does not run any courses or events itself. The respective Provider is solely responsible for running them.

(1) A User account is required for most features. Registration is permitted only for natural persons who are of legal age and have full legal capacity. Each person may hold only one account; the account is non-transferable.

(2) Upon completion of registration, a free-of-charge agreement for the use of the Platform’s basic features is concluded. There is no entitlement to registration.

(3) Users must provide truthful information during registration and in their profile and keep it up to date. Login details must be kept confidential. If there is reason to suspect that third parties have obtained the login details or that the account is being misused, udansa must be notified without delay.

(4) Parts of the profile are visible to other registered Users and, where necessary for a booking, to Providers. Users can specify which details are visible in their account settings, to the extent that the Platform allows this.

(1) The contract language is German. Translations of these GTC into other languages are provided for information purposes; in the event of discrepancies, the German version prevails, unless mandatory consumer protection law provides otherwise.

(2) These GTC are available at any time at udansa.com and can be saved and printed. Users also receive the details of a booking or subscription by email.

(1) The display of courses and events on the Platform is not a binding offer, but an invitation to book. Before submitting a booking, the Platform displays an overview of the service, date, total price and applicable cancellation terms, where entries can be reviewed and corrected. By clicking the payment-required button, the User submits a binding offer. The contract is concluded upon receipt of the booking confirmation by email.

(2) The contract for participation in a course or event is with the respective Provider. udansa is not a contracting party, but arranges the contract and accepts payment as the payee in the name and on behalf of the Provider; payment to udansa discharges the User’s payment obligation to the Provider. The Provider’s name and address are displayed before booking. Any additional participation terms of the Provider are displayed before booking and apply insofar as they do not conflict with these GTC or mandatory law.

(3) udansa may charge a service fee for its own arranging services, which is listed separately before booking. Payment is due upon booking and is made using the payment methods offered during the booking process. The invoice or booking confirmation is sent by email.

(4) Under § 312g(2) No. 9 BGB, there is no statutory right of withdrawal for bookings of courses and events scheduled for a specific date or period. Cancellations are governed by the cancellation terms displayed at the time of booking. If no special cancellation terms are specified, the Platform’s standard terms apply, which are also displayed during booking.

(5) If a course or event does not take place or is canceled by the Provider, the amount paid will be refunded in full. The User’s statutory rights remain unaffected.

(6) udansa will notify Users of any changes to dates as soon as they are communicated by the Provider. In the event of a material change, the User may cancel the booking free of charge.

(1) The Premium subscription (“udansa Premium”) unlocks additional digital features of the Platform. The current scope of services, available subscription periods (e.g. monthly or annually) and prices are displayed on the Platform before the contract is concluded.

(2) Purchase via the website. When purchasing via the website, udansa is the contracting party and seller. Payment is processed through the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (“Stripe”); the payment methods displayed during checkout are available. The user selects the term on the platform and is redirected to Stripe’s order page. There, the service, term, total price and renewal are displayed, and the user can review and correct their details. By clicking the button requiring payment, the user submits a binding offer. The contract is concluded when udansa accepts the offer, at the latest when the Premium features are activated, which usually happens immediately. udansa confirms the conclusion of the contract by email; the invoice is also sent by email.

(2a) Subscriptions purchased via the website before November 5, 2026 were concluded by the user with Paddle.com Market Limited, Judd House, 18 to 29 Mora Street, London EC1V 8BT, United Kingdom, as the seller. The terms agreed at the time of purchase apply to them until they end. Notice of cancellation and withdrawal may also be given to udansa; udansa will forward it to Paddle.

(3) Purchases in apps (Apple App Store, Google Play). For purchases made in an app, purchase, payment, renewal, cancellation and refund are handled exclusively through the relevant app store and in accordance with its terms. udansa has no influence over these processes and cannot cancel or refund such subscriptions.

(4) Prices. All prices displayed are final prices, including statutory VAT. Prices may vary depending on the user's country and currency; the price displayed during checkout is the applicable price.

(5) Term and renewal. The subscription begins when the contract is concluded and runs for the initially selected term. The fee is due in advance at the beginning of each billing period. If the subscription is not cancelled,
a. a monthly subscription is extended by a further month each time;
b. after the initial term expires, an annual subscription becomes a subscription for an indefinite period, which may be cancelled at any time with one month's notice. If, in this case, the fee has already been paid for a longer period, the portion attributable to the period after the cancellation takes effect will be refunded.

(6) Cancellation. The subscription may be cancelled at any time with effect at the end of the current term, and, for annual subscriptions, after the initial term in accordance with subsection 5(b). A subscription purchased via the website may be cancelled using the “Cancel contracts here” button, linked at the bottom of every page of the website, in the user account under “Membership”, or by sending notice in text form to hi@udansa.com. App store subscriptions must be cancelled in the subscription settings of the relevant store. After the cancellation takes effect, the Premium features remain available until the end of the paid period.

(7) Fees already paid for a billing period that has begun will not be refunded on a pro rata basis upon cancellation, unless otherwise required by law; statutory rights, in particular the right of withdrawal under § 7 and warranty rights, remain unaffected.

(8) Price changes. udansa may change prices for future billing periods. Any price increase will be notified to the user in text form at least six weeks before it takes effect and will apply only if the user expressly agrees to it. If the user does not agree, either party may cancel the subscription effective when the change takes effect; the previous price will apply until then.

(9) Promotional prices and free trial periods apply only if and as stated during checkout. After a trial period, the subscription will become a paid subscription only if this was expressly stated during checkout.

(1) Consumers generally have a statutory right to withdraw from the Premium subscription within 14 days of concluding the contract. For purchases made via the website, notice of withdrawal must be given to udansa, in particular using the “Withdraw from contract” function on the website or in text form sent to hi@udansa.com; for purchases made in an app, the terms of the relevant app store apply. Further details are set out in our Withdrawal and Refund Policy.

(2) The Premium features are activated immediately after the contract is concluded. If the user expressly requests that udansa begin providing the service before the withdrawal period expires, then, in the event of withdrawal, the user owes compensation for the value of the services provided up to the time of withdrawal (§ 357a(2) BGB); this amount is calculated pro rata based on the agreed total price.

(3) Where udansa provides digital content that is not supplied on a physical medium (e.g. downloadable generated music tracks), the right of withdrawal with respect to that content expires once provision has begun, provided that the user (a) has expressly agreed that performance of the contract may begin before the withdrawal period expires, (b) has acknowledged that, by consenting to performance of the contract beginning, they will lose their right of withdrawal, and (c) udansa has provided them with confirmation on a durable medium (§ 356(5) BGB).

(4) There is no entitlement to a refund beyond the statutory rights. Any voluntary goodwill refunds in individual cases do not give rise to an entitlement in the future.

(1) Based on their profile details and preferences, the platform suggests other users to users and enables them to make contact via the platform's chat. There is no entitlement to a particular number of suggestions or to any successful outcome.

(2) udansa does not verify the identity or details of other users and is not a party to arrangements between users. Users meet at their own responsibility. udansa provides safety information on the platform.

(3) Users undertake to communicate respectfully. In particular, harassment, insults, discrimination, threats, sexual content without the recipient's consent, spam, advertising without udansa's consent, obtaining or sharing other people's personal data, and any use for commercial purposes without udansa's consent are prohibited.

(4) Users must also not introduce malware, circumvent security features, use the platform with automated methods (e.g. scraping, bots), or allow third parties to use their account.

(1) Users are responsible for the content they post on the platform (e.g. profile texts, photos, messages, reviews). They warrant that they have the necessary rights and that the content does not infringe third-party rights or violate legal provisions.

(2) Users grant udansa a non-exclusive, royalty-free, geographically unrestricted right to these contents, limited to the term of the user contract, to store them, technically modify them (e.g. scale or automatically translate them), and make them accessible within the platform to the extent determined by the user's settings. Use for advertising outside the platform (e.g. social media, newsletters, ads) takes place only with the user's separate express consent.

(3) Reviews must be based on actual participation. udansa publishes reviews in full, but may remove them if they violate laws or these Terms and Conditions. Information on whether and how udansa verifies the authenticity of reviews is available on the platform alongside the reviews.

(1) Content that violates laws or these Terms and Conditions can be reported using the platform's reporting function or by email to hi@udansa.com. The central point of contact under Articles 11 and 12 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act) is hi@udansa.com; communication is possible in German and English.

(2) udansa reviews reports promptly, carefully and objectively. Depending on the severity of the violation, possible measures include removing or blocking individual content, restricting features (e.g. chat), or temporarily or permanently suspending the account. In doing so, udansa takes into account the legitimate interests of all parties involved, in particular fundamental rights such as freedom of expression.

(3) Affected users will be informed of a measure and the reasons for it, insofar as this is legally permissible, and may object to the decision by email to hi@udansa.com. The right to take legal action remains unaffected.

(4) In the event of serious or repeated violations, udansa may terminate the user contract without notice for good cause. If udansa is responsible for terminating a paid subscription, the fee for the period during which the subscription can no longer be used will be refunded on a pro rata basis.

(1) Individual features, e.g. music generation, automatically generate content using artificial intelligence. Such content is marked as AI-generated.

(2) To the extent that udansa holds rights to generated content, udansa grants the user a non-exclusive, unlimited-in-time right to use it privately and for non-commercial purposes. Commercial use requires udansa's consent.

(3) Generated content may resemble other existing works. Beyond its statutory liability, udansa makes no warranty that such content is free of third-party rights. Users must not submit prompts that infringe third-party rights.

(1) udansa endeavors to ensure the platform is available with as few interruptions as possible, averaging at least 98% over the course of a year. Announced maintenance work and disruptions for which udansa is not responsible are excluded.

(2) udansa may develop, change or discontinue the platform's free features at any time.

(3) udansa may change the digital services provided under the Premium subscription beyond what is necessary to maintain contractual compliance only for a valid reason, in particular to adapt to new technical environments, increased user numbers, changes in the legal situation or for security reasons, and only at no additional cost to the user (§ 327r BGB). The user will be informed of the change clearly and comprehensibly. If the change significantly affects access or usability, the user will be informed in text form in good time beforehand and may terminate the contract free of charge within 30 days of receiving the information or of the change; the user will receive a pro rata refund for any period already paid for but no longer used.

Statutory provisions apply to defects in Premium features, in particular §§ 327 ff. BGB. udansa provides the updates required to maintain contractual compliance, including security updates.

(1) udansa is liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act, and to the extent of any guarantee assumed.

(2) In the event of a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation, meaning an obligation whose fulfillment is essential to the proper performance of the contract and on whose compliance the user may regularly rely, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

(3) Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded.

(4) Where udansa acts solely as an intermediary, udansa is not liable for the delivery, quality or safety of providers' courses and events or for the conduct of other users; udansa's liability for its own breaches of duty under paragraphs 1 to 3 remains unaffected.

(5) The above limitations also apply for the benefit of udansa's legal representatives, employees and vicarious agents.

Texts, images, videos, software and trademarks on the platform are protected. Users are granted a simple, non-transferable right to use the platform for private purposes in accordance with these T&Cs. Any use beyond this requires udansa's consent.

(1) The free-of-charge user contract runs for an indefinite period and may be terminated by the user at any time without notice, in particular by deleting the account in the account settings or by giving notice in text form to hi@udansa.com. udansa may terminate it by giving two weeks' notice in text form.

(2) Deleting the account does not automatically terminate an ongoing Premium subscription; it must be terminated separately in accordance with § 6 paragraph 6. The platform will point this out when the account is deleted.

(3) The right of either party to terminate the contract extraordinarily for good cause remains unaffected.

(4) After the contract ends, the user's data will be deleted in accordance with the Privacy Policy, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

Information about the processing of personal data is provided in the Privacy Policy.

(1) udansa may amend these T&Cs with effect for the future where this is necessary for a valid reason, in particular due to changes in the law or case law, new platform features or to close regulatory gaps, and the amendment does not unreasonably disadvantage the user. Material contractual terms, in particular the nature and scope of the agreed services, the term and the prices, will not be amended in this way.

(2) Amendments will be notified to the user in text form at least six weeks before they take effect. If the user does not object before they take effect, the amendments will be deemed accepted. udansa will separately draw attention in the notice to this consequence, the right to object and the deadline. If the user objects, the previous T&Cs will continue to apply; udansa may then terminate the user contract by giving ordinary notice.

(1) udansa is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

(2) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which they have their habitual residence.

(3) If the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is Dresden. In all other cases, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply.

(4) If any individual provisions of these T&Cs are invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The statutory provisions will replace the invalid provision.
