Terms and Conditions

Last updated: February 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the booking platform located at socialdance.net (the "Platform") and the purchase of tickets for events organized by third-party event organizers (each an "Organizer"), including Funky Mambo. By using the Platform, you agree to these Terms.

1. The Platform's Role

SocialDance.net provides technical and administrative services that enable Organizers to promote events and sell tickets online. SocialDance.net is not the organizer, promoter, or host of any event. Any contract for attendance at an event is strictly between you and the Organizer.

SocialDance.net acts solely as a limited payment collection agent for the Organizer and does not assume ownership of ticket proceeds. Payment by a ticket buyer to SocialDance.net shall be considered the same as payment made directly to the Organizer, and the Organizer is deemed to have received the funds at the time SocialDance.net accepts payment on its behalf.

2. Fees and Payments

Ticket prices, availability, and event-specific policies are determined by the Organizer. A Booking Fee (as disclosed at checkout) may be applied to cover platform administration, payment processing, and related services. By completing your purchase, you authorize SocialDance.net to collect the total amount payable on behalf of the Organizer.

3. Tickets and Refunds

All ticket purchases are final unless otherwise stated by the Organizer. The Organizer is solely responsible for setting and administering refund, cancellation, or exchange policies. SocialDance.net does not independently issue refunds except as required by law. Where refunds are issued, booking fees may be non-refundable except where required by law.

4. Event Entry and Conduct

The Organizer retains full control over event entry and conduct. The Organizer may refuse admission or remove any attendee who violates event rules, venue policies, or applicable laws. Such decisions are made solely by the Organizer and its staff.

5. Liability and Risk

The Organizer is solely responsible for planning, hosting, and operating the event, including attendee safety and compliance with applicable laws. SocialDance.net does not control or supervise events and disclaims responsibility for their execution.

Neither the Organizer nor SocialDance.net is responsible for personal property that is lost, stolen, or damaged at an event. By attending a social dance event, you acknowledge the physical nature of dancing and voluntarily assume all inherent risks.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SocialDance.net shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of your use of the Platform or attendance at any event.

6. Media

By attending an event, you acknowledge that the Organizer may photograph or record the event for promotional or archival purposes. Any such media is owned and controlled by the Organizer and used in accordance with its policies.

7. Data Protection and Communications

For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.

Controller and Processor Roles:
The Organizer acts as the Data Controller for attendee personal data processed for event management, communications, and marketing. SocialDance.net acts as a Data Processor for certain processing activities carried out on behalf of the Organizer, where such processing is performed in accordance with the Organizer's documented instructions.

Separately, SocialDance.net acts as an independent Data Controller for personal data processed for the following platform purposes:

Organizer Communications

The Organizer may contact you regarding the event you purchased tickets for and, where permitted by applicable law, about future events. You may opt out of non-essential marketing communications at the time of purchase or via unsubscribe links included in Organizer communications.

Platform Communications

SocialDance.net may send you transactional or service-related communications (such as ticket confirmations, account notices, or security alerts) that are necessary to perform its services.

User Accounts

Creating a ticket purchase may require the creation of a user account. Account creation and management are necessary for the performance of this contract. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity conducted through your account.

SocialDance.net processes personal data where necessary for the performance of this contract, compliance with legal obligations, or its legitimate interests in operating and securing the Platform.

8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or their subject matter.
