Terms & Conditions

1. About Ralia

Ralia is a directory that connects dancers with dance teachers and class organizers, helping dancers find classes and helping teachers and organizers build an online presence. In these Terms, “Ralia,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of the Service.

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Ralia website, mobile experience, and related services (together, the “Service”). By creating an account, browsing listings, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use your personal information, and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

2.1 Who can use Ralia. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. If you are between 16 and 18, you may only use the Service with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. Ralia is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age.

2.2 Account types. Ralia supports two kinds of accounts:

• Dancer accounts — used to browse listings, save favorites, and, where the feature is available, leave reviews or ratings of classes.
• Teacher/organizer accounts — used to create and manage class listings and public profiles.

2.3 Accurate information. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account or a listing, and to keep that information up to date.

2.4 Account security. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at hello@ralia.co.uk if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

2.5 One account per person. Accounts are personal to you and may not be sold, transferred, or shared, except where a teacher/organizer account is used on behalf of a studio or business by authorized staff.

3. Listings

3.1 Who provides listings. Class listings, schedules, prices, and related content are created and maintained by the teachers and organizers who offer them, not by Ralia.

3.2 No verification of listings. Ralia does not verify the accuracy, quality, safety, insurance status, or qualifications associated with any listing. Listing information may be out of date. Always contact the provider directly to confirm schedules, prices, availability, and any requirements before attending a class.

3.3 Listing standards. Listings must be honest and not misleading, fraudulent, or in breach of any third party’s rights. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to edit, remove, unpublish, or decline to publish any listing that we believe breaches these Terms or is otherwise inappropriate, without prior notice.

4. Reviews and User Content

4.1 What you can post. If we make reviews, ratings, comments, photos, or videos available to you, you agree that any content you post will be honest, based on genuine experience, and will not be defamatory, harassing, discriminatory, obscene, or otherwise unlawful.

4.2 No endorsement. Reviews reflect the opinions of the individuals who posted them. Ralia does not verify, endorse, or take responsibility for the accuracy of reviews or other user-generated content.

4.3 Moderation. We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, edit, or remove any user content that we believe breaches these Terms or is otherwise objectionable, at our sole discretion and without notice.

5. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• post false, misleading, or fraudulent listing or profile information;
• impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
• harass, defame, threaten, or abuse other users;
• scrape, crawl, or use automated means to access or collect data from the Service without our prior written consent;
• upload content that infringes another party’s intellectual property, privacy, or other rights;
• upload viruses, malware, or other harmful code, or attempt to disrupt or interfere with the Service;
• use the Service for any unlawful purpose, or in a manner that violates any applicable local, state, national, or international law.

We reserve the right to remove listings, remove content, suspend, or terminate accounts that breach these Terms, with or without notice.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Ralia’s content. The Ralia name, logo, website design, and underlying software are owned by Ralia or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use Ralia’s branding without our prior written permission.

6.2 Your content. You retain ownership of any content you submit to Ralia, including listing descriptions, photos, videos, and reviews (“Your Content”). By submitting Your Content, you grant Ralia a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute Your Content for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Service.

6.3 Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for Your Content and confirm that you own it or otherwise have the right to submit it, and that it does not infringe any third party’s rights.

7. Third-Party Links and Services

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, social media pages, or services operated by teachers, organizers, or other third parties. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party site. Visiting a linked site is at your own risk.

8. Disclaimers

8.1 “As is” service. The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that listing information will be accurate or current.

8.2 No liability for classes attended. Ralia is a directory only. We are not a party to any agreement between a dancer and a class provider, and we do not organize, supervise, insure, or take responsibility for any class, event, or activity listed on the Service. Attending a class found through Ralia is entirely at your own risk. Always use your own judgment, and check qualifications, insurance, and safety practices directly with the provider before attending.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ralia and its officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of the Service, any listing, or any class or activity found through the Service - including any loss, injury, or damage arising from attendance at a class. This applies whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the extent any liability cannot be excluded under applicable law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100).

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ralia and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your breach of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third party’s rights, including in connection with a class or listing.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, at any time and without notice, if we believe you have breached these Terms, engaged in fraudulent or harmful conduct, or for any other reason at our discretion. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12) will survive.

12. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Virginia, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated Terms on this page and update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you should stop using the Service.

14. General

14.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced here, constitute the entire agreement between you and Ralia regarding the Service, and supersede any prior agreements.

14.2 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

14.3 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

14.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
