World Dance Registry Mobile App™
Terms of Service & Privacy Policy
This document governs (1) use of the World Dance Registry™ mobile application (the "App") and (2) how Performance Development Group, Inc. (formerly Performance Development Corporation), d/b/a World Dance Registry™, collects, uses, and shares personal information in connection with the App. Part 1 is the Terms of Service. Part 2 is the Privacy Policy. Both parts apply together.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms of Service (this "Agreement"). If you do not agree, do not use the App. If you are using the App on behalf of an Organizer, you represent that you have authority to bind that Organizer to this Agreement.
Each Event has its own dedicated space within the App, consisting of a banner, announcements, a schedule, a staff contact channel, waiver signing, and, where the Event uses Pro Score™, live scoring and results. Two tiers apply:
WDR™ provides the App as a tool for Organizers and a convenience for Attendees. WDR™ does not organize, sponsor, insure, or guarantee that any Event will occur as scheduled or at all.
Ticket, registration, and merchandise purchases for an Event are transacted through World Dance Registry™'s existing web-based registration platform (the Site), not natively inside the App, and are governed by the Site's own separately posted Terms of Service, refund policy, and chargeback provisions. This Agreement governs your use of the App and, for Organizers, the All Access fee described in Section 4.
WDR™'s App is built around a simple rule: your attendees hear only from your Event, and only about your Event.
The App may offer an AI event assistant that answers questions about an Event, its registration items and pricing, and general WSDC rules.
Where an Event uses Pro Score™ for real-time digital scoring, the App may show live round status, callbacks, and final results as released by the Organizer.
The App may allow Organizers to collect Event-specific liability waivers electronically.
You agree not to: (a) use the App for any unlawful purpose; (b) impersonate any person or Event; (c) interfere with or disrupt the App's operation, security, or servers; (d) scrape, reverse engineer, or resell App data or functionality; (e) upload Content that is defamatory, obscene, harassing, or infringing; or (f) attempt to access another user's account or another Organizer's Event management tools without authorization.
WDR™ or its licensors own all intellectual property rights in the App, including "World Dance Registry™," "Pro Score™," and "WDR Mobile App™." Organizer retains ownership of the Content it uploads (banners, announcements, schedules, waiver text) but grants WDR™ a license to host, display, and transmit that Content as needed to operate the App. You may not use WDR™'s trademarks except to identify WDR™'s own products and services, without prior written permission.
The App may link to or rely on third-party services (for example, payment processing, push notification delivery, or hosting infrastructure). WDR™ is not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third-party services, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms.
If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, you additionally acknowledge:
If you downloaded the App from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, and this Agreement (together with the Privacy Policy) is the privacy policy and developer terms required to be linked from the Google Play listing.
Dance competitions and Events involve inherent physical risk (for example, physical exertion, contact with other participants, or venue conditions) that exists independent of the App and is not created or controlled by WDR™. This Section addresses your use of the App and platform itself; it does not replace, and should not be read as, any Event-specific liability waiver you sign with an Organizer under Section 9, which governs physical participation in that Event.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that your use of the App is at your own risk, and WDR™ disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. WDR™ makes no representation about the quality, safety, or occurrence of any Event, or the accuracy of any schedule, notification, waiver, scoring, or results data displayed in the App.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, WDR™, Performance Development Group, Inc., and their officers, directors, shareholders, agents, and affiliates will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages of any kind, including loss of data, inability to access the App, missed notifications, inaccurate schedule or results information, or lost opportunity to participate in an Event, arising out of or relating to the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Where applicable law does not allow the exclusion of certain damages, WDR™'s total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid WDR™ in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) $200 USD.
Events are organized, staffed, and controlled by Organizers, not by WDR™, and are held at venues, hotels, and other facilities that WDR™ does not own, operate, inspect, maintain, or control. To the fullest extent permitted by law, WDR™, Performance Development Group, Inc., and their officers, directors, shareholders, agents, and affiliates will not be liable for any injury, loss, or damage of any kind arising at, from, or in connection with an Event or its venue, including but not limited to:
Nothing in the App, including an Event listing, schedule, notification, or scoring data, is a representation by WDR™ as to the safety or condition of any Event, venue, or hotel.
The App's contact/request feature lets Attendees route safety incident, misconduct, medical, lost-and-found, and general inquiries to Event staff. This feature is a routing tool only. WDR™ does not staff, monitor, or respond to these requests on the Organizer's behalf, does not guarantee any response time, and is not liable for an Organizer's or Event staff's handling (or non-handling) of a submitted request. If you have a safety or medical emergency, contact local emergency services (911 or the local equivalent) directly. Do not rely on the App.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless WDR™, Performance Development Group, Inc., and their officers, directors, shareholders, agents, and affiliates (collectively, the "WDR Parties") from and against any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the App; (b) your violation of this Agreement or applicable law; (c) Content you submit; or (d) your infringement of any third party's rights.
If you are an Organizer, you additionally agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the WDR Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, or proceedings for damages arising at, from, or in connection with your Event that are brought against any WDR Party by any Attendee, App user, or other third party, including claims for:
To the fullest extent permitted by law, if you are an Organizer, you release, waive, and forever discharge the WDR Parties from any and all claims, liabilities, and causes of action you may have against any WDR Party arising out of or in connection with your Event or your use of the App, including claims for physical injury, emotional or psychological injury, defamation or other reputational injury, and property damage, and you covenant not to sue any WDR Party with respect to any such claim.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, if you are an Attendee or other user of the App, you release, waive, and forever discharge the WDR Parties from any and all claims, liabilities, and causes of action you may have against any WDR Party arising out of or in connection with any Event or your use of the App, including claims for physical injury, illness, disability, or death; emotional or psychological injury or distress; defamation or other reputational injury; and property damage or loss, whether arising from venue or hotel conditions, the acts or omissions of an Organizer or other third party, or otherwise, and you covenant not to sue any WDR Party with respect to any such claim.
The releases and covenants in Sections 17.3 and 17.4 do not apply to the extent a claim arises from a WDR Party's own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or where such a release is prohibited by applicable law.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, U.S.A., without regard to conflict-of-law principles. For any dispute not subject to arbitration under this Section 18, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of Cook or DuPage County, Illinois.
Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact WDR™ at support@worlddanceregistry.com with a written description of your dispute and give WDR™ sixty (60) days to attempt to resolve it informally. Most disputes can be resolved this way.
Except as provided in Section 18.5, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the App, or any Event (a "Dispute"), including any Dispute asserted as, or in connection with, a lawsuit filed against any WDR Party, will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, and not in court. If a lawsuit subject to this Section is filed against any WDR Party, that WDR Party may compel arbitration of the Dispute under this Agreement and the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or, for Disputes with Organizers acting in a business capacity, its Commercial Arbitration Rules) in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced, as modified by this Agreement. AAA rules and fee information are available at www.adr.org. Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, including its consumer fee schedule where applicable. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, in English. Any in-person hearing will take place in the county where you reside or another mutually agreed location, and either party may elect to appear by videoconference or to have the Dispute decided on written submissions where the AAA rules allow.
Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court in a court of competent jurisdiction, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights.
YOU AND WDR™ EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO BRING, JOIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, WHETHER IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION. The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party's individual claim. If the class-action waiver in this Section 18.6 is found unenforceable as to a particular Dispute, that Dispute (and only that Dispute) will proceed in court under Section 18.1 rather than in arbitration.
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement (Sections 18.3 through 18.6) by emailing support@worlddanceregistry.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting this Agreement, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other part of this Agreement.
If any part of this Section 18 (other than the class-action waiver, which is addressed in Section 18.6) is found unenforceable, the remainder will still apply. This Section 18 survives termination of this Agreement and your use of the App.
You may delete your Account at any time from within the App, as described in Section 11 of the Privacy Policy. Deleting your Account permanently disables it and ends this Agreement as to your future use of the App, except for terms that by their nature survive termination.
WDR™ may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without cause, including for violation of this Agreement. Organizers may have their Event listing and All Access features suspended for non-payment, fraud, or a substantial volume of Attendee complaints, consistent with WDR™'s existing right (as reflected in the Site's terms) to force refunds or cancel an Event listing in its sole discretion.
WDR™ may modify the App or this Agreement at any time. We will post the updated Agreement in the App or on the Site with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. WDR™'s failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign this Agreement; WDR™ may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy and the Site's existing terms where referenced, is the entire agreement between you and WDR™ regarding the App.
Questions about these Terms: support@worlddanceregistry.com.
This Privacy Policy explains how WDR™ collects, uses, and shares personal information through the App. It applies to Attendees, Organizers, and Event staff who use the App. It does not cover the Site, which has its own, separately posted privacy statement.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, by registering for or connecting to an Event through it, or by otherwise providing information to us, you - including any Attendee, Organizer, or Event staff member, and, where a parent or legal guardian has agreed to the Terms of Service on an Attendee's behalf under Section 3 of the Terms, that parent or guardian on the Attendee's behalf - expressly consent to WDR™ collecting and retaining the following categories of information:
We do not collect your device's precise or approximate location. We do not use cookies in the App in the way a website does; the App may use similar on-device identifiers strictly for the purposes described in this Policy (for example, push notification delivery and crash diagnostics).
Retention. By providing the information above, you also expressly consent to WDR™ retaining it for the periods described in Section 8 (Digital Waivers and Records) and Section 9 (Other Data Retention), which, except for children's data, information removed when you delete your Account under Section 11, and where applicable law requires otherwise, is indefinitely (in perpetuity).
We use the information above to: operate and provide the App and its features; deliver the push notifications and news feed content you have opted into; sync your registration, passes, and waiver status with your WDR™ account; power the AI event assistant's responses; route your contact/request submissions to the relevant Event's staff; display live scoring, callbacks, and results where applicable; bill Organizers for the All Access fee; diagnose crashes and errors and improve the App's stability and performance; maintain security and prevent fraud or abuse; and comply with legal obligations.
Consistent with Section 6 of the Terms of Service:
The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13 except where a parent or legal guardian has created and controls the Account on the child's behalf, consistent with Section 3 of the Terms of Service. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate parental involvement, we will delete it. Attendees under 18 may still be registered for and attend Events, and any Event waiver for an under-18 signer is completed on paper through Event staff rather than through in-app e-signature.
In addition, consistent with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and its implementing rule:
Messages you send to the AI event assistant are processed in order to generate a response and may be retained to improve the accuracy and reliability of the assistant. Do not send sensitive personal information (for example, health details or government ID numbers) to the assistant.
Signed waivers are stored in a write-once, tamper-evident archive and are made available to the relevant Organizer and, on request, to the signing Attendee.
The archived record for a signing includes the waiver text you were shown, your signature, the timestamp, the consent record, and the sign-in record for the session in which you signed, which contains the name and email address associated with your Account at that time.
Signed waiver records, including the signature, timestamp, and consent record, are retained indefinitely (in perpetuity), unless applicable law requires deletion or a shorter period, and subject to the children's data limits in Section 6. Because the archive is write-once, these records cannot be deleted, and they are not removed if you delete your Account under Section 11.
Except as provided below, we retain all categories of information described in Section 2 (Information We Collect) - that is, Account information; Event and registration data; waiver data (see also Section 8); communications, including contact/request submissions and AI event assistant messages; Content you or an Organizer submit; push notification identifiers; usage and device data; and payment-related data - indefinitely (in perpetuity), including after your Account becomes inactive. Inactivity of an Account does not, by itself, cause any of this information to be deleted.
Exceptions to indefinite retention:
Organizer billing records are likewise retained as needed for accounting, tax, and audit purposes, and thereafter under the general retention practice above.
We use procedural, electronic, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Deleting your Account. You can delete your Account yourself at any time, from within the App. Open the menu, select Account, then select Delete Account. You confirm by re-entering your password, and the deletion takes effect immediately. You do not need to email or contact anyone to delete your Account.
If you have already uninstalled the App, you can delete your Account from a web browser at https://accounts.worlddanceregistry.com/identity/account/manage/deleteaccount, where you sign in and confirm.
Deleting your Account permanently disables it. You will not be able to sign in again, and the deletion cannot be undone from within the App.
When you delete your Account, we delete:
What we keep, and why. Deleting your Account does not delete the following, because we are required to keep them or because they are records of a transaction or a legal act that has already taken place:
Your email address after deletion. We keep your email address on a list of addresses that can no longer be used to open a new Account. This prevents repeated create-and-delete activity against our systems. If you later want to use that address for a new Account, contact us at the support address in Section 15 and we will remove it from that list.
Other rights. To exercise any right to access or update your Account information, or to make any other request relating to your information, contact WDR™ in writing at the support address in Section 15 (support@worlddanceregistry.com). We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before acting on a request. You may withdraw consent to non-essential notifications at any time as described in Section 4.
WDR™ primarily operates in the United States and Canada, and information may be stored and processed in the United States regardless of which of those countries you use the App from.
We maintain the Apple "App Privacy" and Google Play "Data Safety" disclosures in each respective store listing consistent with the data practices described in this Policy. If you believe either store listing is inconsistent with this Policy, please contact us using the information in Section 15.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated Policy with a new "Last updated" date, and, for material changes, provide additional notice (for example, an in-app notice) where required by law.
