General Terms and Conditions (AGB) for the Contest Pro Registration Portal

1. Participation Conditions

Registration is open to all dancers who meet the specified age and performance categories. The minimum age for the registering person is 18 years.
Registration is done through the provided online portal Contest Pro.

Participants accept the set registration fee. Starting spots are only confirmed once the fee has been paid online through the portal. Payment requests and invoices can be viewed in the "Contest Pro" portal and downloaded there.
The registration fee is non-refundable, except in the case of a competition cancellation, in which case a credit will be issued for the amount already paid.

Participants are responsible for the accuracy of their details. In case of incorrect information, the organizer, in consultation with the tournament management, has the right to exclude the school/studio/club, the dance, or the participant from the competition.
Changes to the registration details must be made independently in the portal no later than 4 weeks before the respective tournament.

The organizers accept no liability for injuries, losses, or damages of any kind arising from registration for or during a competition.
Participants agree to compete at their own risk.

Participants agree that images and videos of their performances may be used for promotional and reporting purposes.

Participants are obliged to comply with the established competition rules and must independently consider them when registering in the portal. Incorrect information during registration may lead to disqualification.

By registering through the Contest Pro portal for a competition, participants agree to the Contest Pro AGB and the AGB of the competition.

The registration fee must be paid within a specified period after successful registration. Only then are participation and starting spots guaranteed.
Payments are made exclusively online through the payment methods offered in the portal.
In case of payment default, we reserve the right to cancel the registration without further notice.

All personal data collected during registration is treated confidentially and processed only to register for, run and invoice the competitions, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Personal data is passed on only as described in the Privacy Policy — in particular to the service providers that operate the portal on our behalf (hosting, email delivery, online payment) and where the law requires it. Personal data is not sold and not used for advertising.
Schools that register dancers confirm that the dancers — or, for minors, their parents or guardians — have consented to the processing of their data for the competition, and pass the Privacy Policy on to them.

The registration portal is exclusively intended for the lawful registration for the dance competition.
Participants agree not to transmit content that violates applicable laws, decency, or the rights of third parties.
Any use of the registration portal for fraudulent or illegal purposes is prohibited.
The organizers reserve the right to disqualify participants from the reported competitions of the current season without prior notice if they violate the terms of use. The season begins in September and lasts until July of the following year.
Participants are responsible for keeping their login details secure and not sharing them with third parties.

Should individual provisions of these terms and conditions be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
This contract is governed exclusively by German law, regardless of the country or language in which the competition takes place.
The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with this contract is Essen, Germany.
