These Legal Terms govern your access to and use of the Services. Participation in Alinea Events is additionally governed by Alinea’s official Rules, Privacy Policy, and Participation Waiver, which may be presented separately during the registration process and are incorporated into these Legal Terms by reference to the extent applicable.

We reserve the right to modify these Legal Terms at any time. Updates will be posted with a revised “Last Updated” date, and your continued use of the Services following such updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised Legal Terms.

1. Definitions

For purposes of these Legal Terms:

“Services” means Alinea’s website and any related products, services, applications, communications, content, features, media, merchandise offerings, or resources owned, operated, or made available by Alinea.

“Events” means any competition, convention, master class, workshop, educational program, showcase, or other event organized, produced, hosted, sanctioned, or operated by Alinea.

“Participant” means any individual who accesses or uses the Services or participates in an Event, including but not limited to dancers, parents or legal guardians, studio representatives, attendees, customers, and other authorized users.

“Registration” means the submission and acceptance of information for participation in an Event, whether completed directly or through an authorized third-party provider.

2. Our Services

The Services provide information regarding Alinea Events, schedules, announcements, registration, media, livestreams, merchandise, mobile applications, and related offerings.

Certain Services—including event registration, payments, scheduling, account access, media galleries, livestreams, mobile applications, and, where applicable, online merchandise sales—are provided through third-party platforms, including but not limited to TourPro and other authorized service providers.

Your use of third-party platforms is governed by their respective terms, conditions, and privacy policies. Alinea is not responsible for the independent practices of those providers.

3. Eligibility and Minors

The Services are intended for individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or who use the Services with the knowledge, consent, and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

If you register a minor Participant, you represent and warrant that you are the Participant’s parent or legal guardian, or that you possess full legal authority from the Participant’s parent or legal guardian and the Participant’s studio to complete Registration and agree to all applicable Rules, policies, waivers, and agreements on the Participant’s behalf.

4. Event Rules, Policies, Waivers & Related Agreements

Participation in Alinea Events is subject to Alinea’s official Rules, refund and credit policies, Participation Waiver, Privacy Policy, and any additional Event-specific policies made available before or during Registration.

Those documents are incorporated into these Legal Terms by reference to the extent applicable.

If any conflict exists between these Legal Terms and an Event-specific Rule, waiver, or policy, the Event-specific document shall control solely with respect to matters relating to Event participation.

5. Purchases, Payments, Refunds, and Credits

Payments for Event registrations, deposits, add-ons, media, merchandise, or other offerings may be processed through authorized third-party payment providers.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete payment information and authorize all charges associated with your purchases.

All prices are stated in United States Dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Registration for Events is subject to availability. Alinea reserves the right to limit registrations, establish waitlists, close or reopen registration, or refuse registrations based on Event capacity, venue limitations, scheduling requirements, operational considerations, safety concerns, or other legitimate business needs.

Alinea reserves the right to:

Refuse or cancel transactions.
Correct pricing, clerical, administrative, or typographical errors.
Limit quantities, registrations, or purchases.

Submission of a Registration or deposit does not guarantee acceptance of additional Participants, entries, routines, scheduling requests, or other modifications after applicable deadlines or after Event capacity has been reached.

Refunds, credits, deposits (including Alinea Ready deposits), waitlists, registration deadlines, schedule-final deadlines, Event capacity limitations, cancellations, postponements, and Event modifications are governed by Alinea’s official Rules and posted policies, which are incorporated into these Legal Terms by reference.

6. Merchandise and Commerce

Alinea may offer merchandise for sale at Events, through third-party e-commerce providers, or, where applicable, through the Services.

We make reasonable efforts to display merchandise accurately; however, we do not guarantee that product colors, sizing, features, specifications, or appearance displayed on your device are exact due to variations in screens, devices, printing methods, and settings.

Merchandise availability may vary by Event and inventory levels. Alinea reserves the right to modify, discontinue, substitute, limit quantities, or cancel merchandise offerings or orders at any time without prior notice.

Unless otherwise stated, merchandise sales are final. Alinea may, in its sole discretion, accept returns or exchanges or replace defective merchandise. Requests regarding damaged or defective merchandise must be submitted within fourteen (14) days of delivery or, for merchandise purchased at an Event, within fourteen (14) days of the purchase date.

Where merchandise is shipped, orders will be delivered to the shipping address provided by the purchaser. Estimated delivery times are provided for convenience only and are not guaranteed. Alinea is not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, weather, supply chain disruptions, or other circumstances beyond Alinea’s reasonable control.

Risk of loss and title to shipped merchandise pass to the purchaser upon delivery of the merchandise to the shipping carrier.

Applicable sales taxes, shipping charges, and other fees will be calculated and collected where required by applicable law.
