Terms

Registering to compete means you accept the Rules & Regulations in full, including the judging panel's decisions being final, plus these terms.

Buying a ticket means you accept these terms and the Privacy Policy — the Rules & Regulations govern competitors, not spectators.

Pre-ordering merch means you accept these terms and the Privacy Policy.

By registering or buying a ticket, you confirm you're old enough to enter a binding agreement under the law of your country of residence, or have permission from a parent/guardian.

All fees — pre-selection, entry, tickets, workshops — are non-refundable if you withdraw or if your application isn't selected. This is stated at the point of payment, not just here.

Merch is different: it is goods, not event entry, so you can withdraw from a merch order. See Merch pre-orders below.

If you're accepted, you have until your wave's payment deadline to pay the balance and confirm your spot; miss it, and your application is cancelled (see the key dates on the relevant pages).

We rely on the EU distance-selling exemption for event entry and dated events — the usual 14-day withdrawal right doesn't apply to competition entries or tickets for a specific date.

This is separate from us cancelling the event outright: if we do, we'll decide on a refund, credit or reschedule case by case rather than defaulting to "no refund."

Merch is sold as a pre-order only: you order and pay on this website, and every piece is made after pre-orders close.

You collect your order in person in Prague, on a date and at a place we email you once it is ready. We don't deliver or ship.

Your right to withdraw. You can withdraw from a merch order without giving a reason, at any time before you collect it and for 14 days from the day you collect it.

To withdraw, email hello@flexchamp.cz with your name and order number before the 14 days are up, or send us the form below. Before pickup, we refund the full amount. After pickup, return the piece to us within 14 days of telling us, in person or by post at your own cost. We refund within 14 days of your message, to the card you paid with, and may wait until the piece is back. If it has been worn, washed or handled beyond what you'd need to try it on, we may deduct the loss in value.

Model withdrawal form — To: Elizaveta Makarova, OSVČ, IČO 24437417, Korunní 2569/108, 101 00 Praha 10 – Vinohrady, hello@flexchamp.cz. I hereby withdraw from my contract for the following goods: [order number, designs and sizes]. Ordered on [date] / collected on [date]. Name: [your name]. Date: [date].

A faulty piece is a separate matter: your statutory rights for defects apply in full, for 24 months. Email us and we'll put it right.

Consumer disputes can be resolved out of court by the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (Česká obchodní inspekce, www.coi.cz).

By taking part or attending, you agree that we — and official sponsors or media partners covering the event — may photograph and film you at the event, and use that content to promote Flex Champ and future editions of it, without further compensation to you.

Dance performance carries an inherent risk of injury. You take part at your own risk.

Our liability is limited to the extent the law allows — except where liability can't be excluded, for example death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

We may adjust category groupings, running order or timing to keep the day on schedule, and may cancel or postpone for reasons beyond our control.

Conduct that endangers dancers, judges or spectators can mean disqualification without a refund — see the Rules & Regulations for the full standard.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, where the event is held (organizing entity: Elizaveta Makarova, OSVČ, IČO 24437417, Korunní 2569/108, 101 00 Praha 10 – Vinohrady).

This doesn't affect any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under the law of your country of residence.
