1. Terms and Conditions of Membership

This document sets out the terms and conditions that apply to membership of the United Dance Organisation (UDO), and is entered into with the named individual or corporate subscriber.

UDO reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time and undertakes to communicate material changes to all Members within an appropriate time.

Membership of UDO entitles the subscriber to benefits including, but not limited to, discounts for UDO publications, training and events (including priority notification and bookings) and other services as offered. These benefits and services may alter from time to time, with the current offer always listed on our website and in membership publicity and joining forms.

Anyone with an interest in UDO may join as a member. UDO reserves the right to refuse membership should this interest not be demonstrable. Becoming a member of UDO carries no legal responsibility for the member in respect of UDO, nor does it carry voting rights at meetings or liability in respect of any debts of UDO. The term ‘member’ is the name used to describe the group of people and organisations that access UDO services and benefits via a subscription programme. 

Applications from new members will be processed within 2 working days.  At present, there is no charge for membership. In the event that a charge is introduced, full details will be provided.

A member may terminate his or her membership at any time and without providing a reason. UDO reserves the right to cancel membership at any time and without reason should it so determine.

UDO accepts no liability whatsoever for any harm, damage, or loss, howsoever caused, through being a member of the UDO.

These Terms 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 hear or decide any claim, action or proceedings and to settle any disputes arising out of or in connection with the Terms, and for these purposes each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the English and Welsh courts.

2. Dancers

As a condition of membership, members give permission to UDO to video and photograph members at UDO events and furthermore, allow them to be used for publicity on their websites and any social media platforms and any promotional materials. Such videos, pictures and promotional materials may be seen by and sold to the general public.

Any gymnastic / break dance type moves are carried out at the members own risk and UDO cannot be held responsible for any injury caused thereby.

If members have a medical condition that can be affected by physical activity they take part at their own risk, especially if they have been advised by medical staff not to take part in physical activity.

Members represent their dance school and as such members behaviour and conduct should reflect this. Any conduct that is deemed inappropriate may be considered by the UDO committee and could result in members and / or the dance school being excluded from taking part in any future events. 

3. Teachers

By signing up as a teacher with UDO, the member agrees to the following teacher Code of Conduct:

Teachers have overall responsibility for the conduct for the parents and dancers associated with their dance school.

They will be the first point of contact for any incidents within their school and it is their duty to inform UDO of any matters which might be relevant.

Teachers will instruct parents and dancers to bring queries and complaints to their attention and will then liaise with UDO on their behalf. The issues should be raised with UDO before public comments are made on platforms such as social media.

Conduct in relation to UDO as well as that of dancers and parents could lead to the teacher being brought before the UDO committee which may result in individual dancers, teams or the entire dance school being excluded from attending a future event or events.

4. Parents

A teacher with UDO agrees to ensure that persons with parental authority will subscribe to the following parent Code of Conduct:

Parents have responsibility for their own children and those under 18 in their care. They will ensure their behaviour and conduct is appropriate and does not interfere with other attendees or the running of events. 

If their behaviour is deemed inappropriate then this could result in them and their children being brought before the UDO committee which could result in them being excluded from any future events. 

Any questions or issues will be addressed to the dance school teacher in the first instance before contacting UDO. 

5. Event Bookings / Attendance

The following terms and conditions apply to a booking or reservation for an event:

All deposits and payments are non-refundable and a cancellation 12 weeks or less prior to the event date will incur a liability to pay the full amount of the event ticket.

If an event is cancelled or postponed then UDO ltd may choose to offer, either  a full refund of the ticket price or a transfer of funds to the purchase of a ticket(s) to an alternative event.

If the event venue is changed but the dates remain the same, no refund will be issued.   

Parents and guardians accept responsibility for any child / children under 18 during the entire event. If not attending the event, parents and guardians must ensure that their child is in the company of a responsible adult that they have chosen who has agreed to take responsibility.

Guests aged 18 and over will conduct themselves in an appropriate manner throughout the event. This includes, taking care of children under their responsibility, not purchasing alcoholic beverages for any person under the age of 18 or providing such person with alcoholic drinks. They must not drink alcohol in excess.

Guests must refrain from any physical altercations with any other attendees and any conflicts should be reported to their dance school teacher in the first instance.

Guests will refrain from any illegal activity, including but not limited to the use of recreational drugs.

They will be the first point of call for any incidents within their school and, if necessary, will inform a senior member of UDO staff or senior member of Venue staff depending on the situation.

Conduct during events, if deemed unacceptable, could lead to all members of their party being asked to leave the event and potentially being excluded from future UDO events.

Any damage caused at an event, to the venue, accommodation, UDO property, hire property or other members’ property by teachers or those under their control may lead to a claim for the cost repairing damage or replacement of damaged items.
