5. Data Accuracy Disclaimer

Competition Data

The competition data displayed on the Service is aggregated from third-party sources (NDCA Premier, O2CM, WDSF, and others). We strive to present accurate and timely information, but:

• Data may be delayed, incomplete, or contain errors originating from the source systems.
• Schedule and heat list changes may not be reflected immediately.
• Results are presented as published by competition organizers and federation systems.
• We are not responsible for errors or omissions in data provided by third-party sources.

Do not rely solely on the Service for time-sensitive competition decisions. Always verify critical information (heat times, schedule changes, registration deadlines) directly with the competition organizer or relevant federation.

No Professional Advice

The Service provides informational content only. Nothing on the Service constitutes professional, legal, or medical advice.

6. Intellectual Property

Our Property

The Service — including its design, code, features, logos, and branding — is owned by WaltzWithMe and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service without our prior written consent.

Third-Party Data

Competition data aggregated from NDCA Premier, O2CM, WDSF, and other sources remains the property of their respective owners. We display this data for informational purposes. Our aggregation, organization, and presentation of this data constitutes our own work.

Your Content

If you provide any content to us (such as feedback or suggestions), you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate that content into the Service.

7. Notifications and Communications

By creating an account and subscribing to competitions, you consent to receive:

• Competition schedule updates and result notifications
• Important service announcements (e.g., changes to Terms or Privacy Policy)

You may manage or disable competition notifications at any time through your account settings. Service announcements related to your account or legal obligations may not be opted out of.

8. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites and services (e.g., federation websites, competition organizer pages). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of these third-party services.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• WaltzWithMe shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service.
• WaltzWithMe shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from reliance on competition data displayed on the Service.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.
