These General Terms and Conditions ("Terms") set out the conditions governing the use of the DancePass System. By registering and logging in to the DancePass System, you accept these Terms, and the operator of the DancePass System grants you authorisation to use it.
By logging in to the DancePass System, you expressly confirm that you have read these Terms, that you fully understand and acknowledge their contents, and that you accept them as binding upon yourself.
These Terms apply to the DancePass System in its current state and to any future modifications or versions thereof.
These Terms take effect immediately upon commencement of use of the DancePass System.
If you do not accept the conditions set out below, please cease using the System immediately.
The DancePass System is an online business management software designed to make it easier for its Users (including Partners, their Managers, Instructors, and end Users) to handle tasks arising in the course of activities they organise, provide, or attend — such as scheduling classes, booking appointments, maintaining related records and accounts, and facilitating communication between service providers and clients.
The DancePass System is operated by:
These Terms have been drawn up in accordance with applicable law, in particular the following:
Capitalised terms used in these Terms have the following meanings:
"DancePass": refers to Ádám Földvári as a sole trader and operator of the DancePass System.
"DancePass Service" or "DancePass System": the online business management software used by Users, accessible via the web. Its purpose is to make it easier for Users (including Partners, their Managers, Instructors, and end Users) to handle scheduling, booking, recordkeeping, accounting, and communication tasks related to the activities they organise, provide, or attend.
"Partner" or "Partners": One or more businesses operating in the fields of sport, recreation, dance, leisure, education, or similar activities, which organise and deliver those activities to Users through the DancePass System under a contract with DancePass, and which use the DancePass System for related administrative tasks on a daily and regular basis. Partners are entitled to use the DancePass System subject to payment of the applicable fees.
"User": The Partner, its Manager(s), its Instructor(s), and end Users (including yourself) who use the DancePass System.
"User Role": A User may hold multiple roles in the DancePass System (Manager, Instructor, end User). Roles are stored in the system; a higher-level role (e.g. Manager) carries all permissions of a lower-level role (e.g. Instructor).
"User Account" or "Account": the account created upon registration and login in the DancePass System.
"Terms": This agreement and any future amendments to it.
"GDPR": Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC.
"Manager": A Manager is generally authorised to represent the Partner legally, or at minimum to act on the Partner's behalf under the agreement between DancePass and the Partner. As a data controller, the Manager operates the Partner's DancePass account and may access and manage data belonging to Instructors and Users in accordance with their permissions.
"Instructor": An Instructor delivers activities to Users as organised by the Partner. They manage their own sessions and may access User data based on permissions granted by the Manager. Instructors do not pay DancePass separately for the Service; this cost is included in the fee paid by the Partner.
"User" (end user): A person who uses the DancePass System to access services organised by the Partner and delivered by the Instructor. End Users are entitled to use the DancePass System free of charge.
DancePass will make every reasonable effort to keep the DancePass Service available to Users, except where availability is affected by external events or circumstances beyond DancePass's control (e.g. internet availability, availability of third-party services used in providing the DancePass Service, or cyberattacks).
DancePass enters into a service agreement with the Partner, after which the Partner's Manager and Instructors register in the system. DancePass assigns roles to Users as specified by the Manager. Users may access the DancePass System by registering on the Partner's DancePass page (via the relevant subdomain) and confirming their email address as instructed in the message received from DancePass. Alternatively — under a separate agreement with the Partner — a User may register for a publicly available course or event. After registration, all Users and Partners access the DancePass Service by logging in with a password.
DancePass draws attention to the fact that when Partners provide services and personal data of data subjects is processed in connection with the use of the DancePass System, the Partner generally acts as a data controller and DancePass acts as a data processor within the meaning of the GDPR.
DancePass draws attention to the fact that when visiting the DancePass website, the legal entity identified as a Partner in the DancePass Privacy Policy may act as a data processor, meaning that data transfers may occur in respect of the data specified in the appendix, to which the data subject consents by using the DancePass website. For further details, see the DancePass Privacy Policy (including the Cookie Notice).
DancePass will take all reasonably expected measures to protect all data stored in the DancePass System.
DancePass, as a data processor, is committed to privacy by design and by default in accordance with the GDPR. Accordingly, DancePass continuously strives to incorporate data protection considerations into the DancePass System from the ground up, rather than addressing compliance as an afterthought.
DancePass uses cookies and other technologies to operate the DancePass System, to which the User consents:
user_id
This cookie stores the login session of DancePass Users, so they do not need to log in every time they visit. It is valid for 2 years.
_ddance_pass_session
This cookie stores User session activity. It is a functional cookie required for the website to operate and does not store personal data. It expires when the browser is closed.
DancePass uses the DancePass System to provide the service to the Partner's Users in accordance with the agreement between DancePass and the Partner. Under this arrangement, DancePass qualifies as a data processor within the meaning of the GDPR. In this capacity:
The User must take all necessary precautions to protect the security of their personal data. In particular, but not exclusively, the User bears primary responsibility for keeping their password secure. To this end:
DancePass excludes its liability, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for any damages arising from the above — including damages within and outside the DancePass System.
It is the Partner's responsibility to ensure that Users associated with the Partner are made aware of these Terms. Users must comply with these Terms, including in particular — but not exclusively — all obligations whose breach may result in termination of the DancePass Service pursuant to section 10.3.
Use of the DancePass System is permitted for users aged 16 and over, or for younger users where the express consent of a parent or legal guardian has been obtained. It is the Partner's responsibility and obligation to obtain such consent before registering a minor User in the system.
If the User accesses the DancePass System from a public location (e.g. an internet café), additional precautions are required from the User to protect data, beyond the security measures already implemented in the system.
Due to data protection risks, DancePass does not recommend using the DancePass System over free, open Wi-Fi networks. DancePass excludes its liability, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for damages resulting from incidents caused by the use of free public Wi-Fi networks.
If there is a possibility that others may access the computer you are using, the following security steps are recommended:
Users must refrain from uploading, recording, or transmitting any inappropriate, illegal, harmful, pornographic, or otherwise reputation-damaging content, information, or data through the DancePass System.
By accepting these Terms, the User agrees to receive occasional system messages from DancePass relating to the use of the DancePass Service and System, maintenance, usage tips, and related information. DancePass emphasises that such system messages do not constitute newsletters or marketing communications.
DancePass employees and owners accept responsibility for the proper operation of the DancePass System within the limits permitted by applicable law.
DancePass accepts no liability for:
The above limitations do not affect DancePass's liability for:
Liability under the GDPR as data processor is unlimited and cannot be contractually excluded.
Limitation of other liabilities:
To the extent permitted by law, DancePass limits its liability for incidental, indirect, unforeseen, or punitive damages, including in particular damages arising from loss of profit, loss of business opportunity, or loss of data.
This limitation does not affect DancePass's liability for harm to life, bodily integrity, or health; for damages caused by wilful or grossly negligent breach of contract; or in cases where liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
The Partner bears full responsibility for the activities it organises, provides, or facilitates. In particular:
The User is responsible for:
Partners may sell tickets and/or passes for their own events online through the DancePass System.
Role of DancePass: DancePass acts solely as a technical intermediary in transactions and data storage. DancePass does not become a seller of tickets, and does not organise or execute events.
Responsibility for Events: The Partner bears sole responsibility for the proper organisation of Events, compliance with safety and health regulations, and the safety of Users.
Where the Partner uses the online payment feature, DancePass automatically deducts the applicable transaction fee upon completion of each transaction. The current transaction fees, broken down by payment method and check-in type, are listed in the summary fee table in section 1 of Appendix II.
Transaction fees cover the technical processing and administration of payments and are non-refundable, regardless of cancellations, event cancellations, or any other reason.
Obligations of DancePass:
Obligations of the Partner:
Limitation of DancePass Liability: DancePass acts as a technical intermediary only. Organisational responsibility for Events lies solely with the Partner.
Refund policy summary:
Consumer protection: Statutory consumer rights under applicable EU and national law cannot be restricted by these Terms.
Special case – Force Majeure: In the event of an unforeseeable and unavoidable external cause, neither party may be compelled to perform or pay damages.
To use and continue using the DancePass Service, Partners must subscribe and pay the applicable subscription fee.
Current subscription fees are publicly available on the DancePass website.
Extensions to the service may be requested at any time by the Partner via email or by telephone after identity verification with customer support.
Subscription fees may be paid on either a monthly or annual basis, as chosen by the Partner. DancePass maintains records of all payments and provides the Partner with regular statements of their current balance, in line with the chosen billing period (monthly or annual).
The subscription fee becomes due from the date on which the Partner orders the service and gains access to it via their dedicated subdomain.
DancePass reserves the right to partially or fully restrict (suspend) the service if a payment remains overdue after its due date. Subscription fees remain payable for any period of suspension due to non-payment; however, no subscription fee will be invoiced during a suspension period requested by the Partner.
The subscription fee for the DancePass business management system (provided as an online SaaS service) includes the ongoing operation and future development of the software, as well as daily data backups stored at a location independent of the primary server.
The recurring gross subscription fee is calculated based on the chosen subscription plan (Tempo, Step-up, Groove, and Rhythm packages).
DancePass guarantees that if the Partner expresses dissatisfaction with the DancePass System in writing (by email) within 30 days of paying the first subscription fee, without being required to provide a reason, DancePass will refund the paid subscription amount within 14 (fourteen) days.
Where the Partner uses the online payment feature, DancePass charges the applicable transaction fee per transaction, automatically deducted upon completion. For current fees, see the summary fee table in section 1 of Appendix II.
When an online order is fulfilled: In the case of online payment, the booking, ticket, or pass becomes valid immediately upon confirmation of the successful payment transaction. Confirmation is sent automatically by the DancePass System to the User's registered email address.
DancePass accepts no liability for confirmation messages that fail to arrive due to an incorrect email address provided by the User or spam filtering applied by the User's email provider.
Service description: The DancePass System enables Partners to accept online card payments via the Stripe payment platform.
Data handling for Stripe payments: Card data is processed exclusively through Stripe's secure, PCI DSS-certified system. Card details are not transmitted to or stored in the DancePass system.
Transaction fees: DancePass transaction fees applicable to online Stripe payments are set out in the summary fee table in section 1 of Appendix II.
Acceptance of Stripe's terms: By using the online payment feature, the Partner accepts the current General Terms and Conditions of Stripe Inc., available at: https://stripe.com/legal
The DancePass System enables Partners to accept contactless, in-person card payments using the Stripe Tap to Pay feature — allowing card payments to be accepted via an NFC-capable smartphone, without a physical card terminal.
Eligibility requirements: Stripe Tap to Pay is available only when all of the following conditions are met simultaneously:
Device requirements: The Stripe Tap to Pay feature only works on NFC (Near Field Communication)-capable smartphones. Providing an NFC-capable device is the Partner's responsibility; DancePass does not supply physical devices. DancePass does not guarantee that the feature will work on every device type. For a list of compatible devices, the Partner may refer to Stripe's official documentation. The list of supported devices and operating systems is set out in Appendix III.
Limitation of liability: DancePass accepts no liability for:
Service availability: The DancePass System supports the Barion payment method. The following payment options are available via Barion:
Transaction fees: Transaction fees applicable to the Barion payment method are set out in the summary fee table in section 1 of Appendix II. Fees are non-refundable regardless of cancellations, event cancellations, or any other reason.
Refunds: Refunds for payments made via Barion are processed through the Barion system, upon instruction from the Partner.
Barion Wallet – liability: For payments made from a Barion Wallet, the User is responsible for ensuring their Barion account is valid and has a sufficient balance at the time of the transaction. DancePass excludes its liability for any booking shortfalls resulting from a failed Barion Wallet transaction.
Data handling for Barion payments: Online card and other payments are processed through Barion's system. Card and payment data are not transmitted to the merchant. Barion Payment Zrt. is an institution supervised by the Magyar Nemzeti Bank (National Bank of Hungary), licence number: H-EN-I-1064/2013.
Partners may sell tickets and/or passes for their own events online through the DancePass System. DancePass acts solely as a technical intermediary in transactions and does not become a seller of tickets, nor does it organise or execute events. The Partner bears sole responsibility for the proper organisation of Events.
Where the Partner uses the online payment feature for event tickets, DancePass automatically deducts the applicable service fee upon completion of each transaction. Current fees — depending on payment method and check-in type — are set out in the summary fee table in section 1 of Appendix II. These fees cover the technical processing and administration of ticket sales and are non-refundable in the event of cancellation or withdrawal.
Tickets sold through the DancePass System are not issued in the buyer's name; transfer of tickets is currently supported. Entry is based on the first valid QR code scan. All subsequent attempts to use the same ticket are invalid and entry may be refused.
DancePass will make every reasonable effort to notify Users in a timely manner of an Event cancellation and to facilitate ticket redemption. The details of any redemption process (location, deadline, method) are determined by the Partner. DancePass cannot be required to provide a refund or pay compensation; service and transaction fees are non-refundable in such cases.
Force majeure (complete impossibility of performance) applies only where:
The User must present their ticket (e-ticket) at the Event either printed or on their mobile device. Once the QR code has been validated, the ticket is immediately invalidated. Entry is based on the first validation. DancePass accepts no liability for damages arising from loss, theft, incorrect printing, or multiple prints of a ticket. Denial of entry on these grounds is lawful and does not give rise to a claim for compensation.
The end User irrevocably assumes from DancePass any liability for fines, damages, and costs arising in relation to the party authorised to issue invoices on their behalf under applicable VAT law, where such liability results from the User's own breach of law.
DancePass excludes all liability for damages arising from unlawful, illegal, or negligent conduct on the part of the Event organiser, the User, or any third party.
MailPass (powered by Cakemail) is an optional, monthly add-on feature of the DancePass System. It can be used independently or alongside the DancePass System. Pricing depends on the size of the email contact list — details are available in the pricing table in the Appendix to these Terms.
Schools (as data controllers) may upload external contacts (not subscribed through the DancePass System) to the MailPass platform solely at their own risk. In such cases, it is the school's responsibility to obtain appropriate, lawful consent (e.g. via their own website). DancePass accepts no liability for contact lists uploaded by schools from their own sources.
The MailPass Privacy Notice is available at: https://dancepass.eu/gdpr/
The following categories of content are prohibited from being sent through the service:
In the event of a breach of these rules or non-payment, DancePass reserves the right to suspend the MailPass service temporarily or permanently.
The DancePass System automatically synchronises subscriber data (e.g. name, email address, subscription date). When a contact unsubscribes, the system automatically deletes or deactivates that contact in MailPass as well.
For any matters not specifically governed by these Terms, the official Terms of Use of Cakemail shall apply, available at: https://www.cakemail.com/legal/terms-of-use
The DancePass Service terminates upon termination of the agreement between the Partner and DancePass. This means that the DancePass System will no longer be available to Users participating in the services organised, provided, or used through that Partner.
As a data subject under applicable data protection law, the User may at any time request the deletion of their data from the DancePass System by submitting a request to the Partner in its capacity as data controller.
The Partner may request termination of the service. This must be done no later than 2 business days before the next scheduled payment, by email or via the cancellation option on the Subscriptions page. If the next billing period has already commenced, the monthly fee will be invoiced.
DancePass may terminate the DancePass Service with immediate effect if the Partner fails to pay the service fee, or if DancePass determines that the User has breached these Terms; has granted access to the DancePass System to unauthorised persons; has acted or is acting in a manner that negatively affects the reputation of the DancePass Service or threatens the secure operation of the DancePass System, the activities of other Users, or compliance with applicable data protection law; or has failed to cooperate as required to ensure DancePass's own compliance with such law.
Upon termination of the DancePass Service, DancePass will return to the Partner all personal data processed in its capacity as data processor and will subsequently delete such data from the DancePass System, unless the Privacy Policy, European Union law, or national law provides otherwise.
For questions or feedback about the DancePass Service, please contact DancePass customer support at: dancepassapp@gmail.com
In addition to the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal, DancePass voluntarily offers a 30-day trial period: if the user notifies DancePass within 30 days of commencing use of the service that they no longer wish to continue, the Service Provider will refund the periodic fee already paid — excluding any one-off or transaction fees specified in these Terms — and the contract will terminate on the last day of the trial period. This 30-day trial does not affect or restrict the statutory right of withdrawal; it provides terms more favourable than those required by law.
Users may submit complaints about the service via the following channels:
The service provider will:

Appendix to the General Terms and Conditions
This Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") is entered into between:
DancePass (operated by: Ádám Földvári, 1115 Budapest, Hídvég utca 2/a, Hungary), hereinafter: Data Processor
and
the partner using the DancePass service, hereinafter: Data Controller
(together: the "Parties").
The Data Controller transfers personal data to the Data Processor during the use of the DancePass service for the purposes of operating, administering, and technically maintaining the service.
The Data Processor processes personal data on behalf of and in accordance with the instructions of the Data Controller, in compliance with Article 28 of the GDPR.
The purposes of data processing are:
Nature of processing: digital software service (SaaS), cloud-based data processing. The above purposes and categories of data processed are consistent with the principles of necessity and purpose limitation.
The Data Processor does not store full card numbers. This reduces processing risk in line with the principle of data minimisation.
Data processing takes place for the duration of the contract. Upon termination of the contract, the Data Processor undertakes to delete the data within 30 days, or — at the Data Controller's request — return it in a standard format (e.g. CSV or JSON). Backup deletion: within 90 days at the latest. This ensures data is not stored beyond what is necessary, in accordance with the GDPR's storage limitation principle.
The Data Processor:
The Data Processor may only engage third-party sub-processors with the prior written approval of the Data Controller. All contracts with sub-processors must provide the same data protection guarantees.
Any transfer of data outside the EU/EEA (e.g. to email or cloud service providers) may only take place with appropriate GDPR-compliant safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (where applicable), or another adequate transfer mechanism.
Data transfers are carried out pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR (SCCs) or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. DancePass guarantees that SCCs or equivalent GDPR-compliant safeguards are in place for all transfers to third countries.
The Data Controller is entitled to audit the Data Processor's data protection practices at least once per year, including by means of remote audit. The Data Processor must provide all necessary documentation and information upon request (including descriptions of technical and organisational measures, security procedures, logs, and access lists).
DancePass currently uses the following sub-processors:
| Sub-processor | Activity | Data Storage Location |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Payment processing | EU / USA (under SCCs) |
| Barion Payment Zrt. | Payment processing (card, Barion Wallet) | EU (Hungary) |
| Firebase / Google Cloud | Data storage | EU servers |
| Heroku PostgreSQL | Data storage | EU servers |
The names, registered addresses, and contact details of the Data Controller and Data Processor are set out on the DancePass Privacy page, which clearly identifies who acts as controller and who acts as processor.
