01Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of Ida OS (the “Service”), a studio-management platform for independent dance studios operated from Calgary, Alberta, Canada (“Ida OS”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a studio or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to that organization.
02Accounts and eligibility
In short
You must be an adult to have an account. Keep your login secure, you’re responsible for what happens on it, and tell us promptly if you suspect misuse.
You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction to create an account. The Service is intended for use by studios and their authorized staff; it is not intended for direct use by children. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping your login credentials secure, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at jon@idaos.co if you suspect unauthorized use.
03Your data and responsibilities

Your records stay yours; we use them only to provide and support Ida. Having the rights and consents to put them in, including from parents for minors, is on you.
You retain all rights to the data you and your authorized users submit to the Service (“Customer Data”), including family, student, scheduling, and billing records. You grant us a limited license to host, process, and transmit Customer Data solely to provide and support the Service.
You are responsible for your Customer Data and for ensuring you have the necessary rights and consents to provide it to us — including, where applicable, consent from parents or guardians for information about minors. You agree to use the Service in compliance with all applicable laws, including privacy and data-protection laws. Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

05Subscriptions, fees, and payments

Paid plans are billed on the cycle described at signup or in your order. Unless stated otherwise, fees are charged in advance, are non-refundable except where required by law, and may be subject to taxes. We may change pricing on a going-forward basis with reasonable notice. If you fail to pay amounts due, we may suspend or terminate your access.
