Terms of Service
The short version: Bachata Online is an online learning platform. You pay a subscription, you get access to dance lessons. You can cancel anytime. Don't share your login or our videos. We'll do our best to deliver great content; you accept that learning to dance has physical risks and you do it at your own discretion.

1. Who these terms are between
This is a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", "your") and the operator of Bachata Online ("we", "us", "our", "Bachata Groove"):
- Trader / operator: Latin Groove, a licensed business (Osek Murshe) in Israel
- Business ID: 558410056
- Address: Kalisher 21, Petach Tikva, Israel
- Contact: contact.bachataonline@gmail.com
The Service is operated from Israel. Payments are processed by Takbull Ltd. Video streaming is provided by Vimeo, Inc. Application hosting is provided by Vercel Inc. Database and authentication are provided by Supabase, Inc. These third parties have their own terms which apply to their parts of the service.
2. Acceptance of these terms
By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or otherwise using the Service, you confirm that:
- You are at least 18 years old, or you have legal capacity to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction.
- You have read, understood, and agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Refund Policy, and our Cookie Policy.
- You will provide accurate registration information and keep it up to date.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
3. Your account
3.1 Single user, single account
Each account is for a single individual. You may not share your username, password, or login link with anyone else. You may not allow another person to view content while logged in as you, except for a member of your immediate household watching alongside you in the same physical location.
3.2 Security
You are responsible for keeping your password confidential. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account. We are not liable for losses caused by stolen or shared credentials.
3.3 Accuracy
The email address on your account is the primary channel for receipts, security notices, and access. Keep it accurate. We are not responsible if you miss important communications because your email is wrong or full.
4. What you get
A paid subscription grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to stream the lessons and access the materials included in your plan for the duration of your subscription. New courses and lessons may be added during your subscription; their availability depends on the plan you hold at the time. We may also add, remove, or update content at any time.
5. Subscriptions, billing & renewals
5.1 Plans & prices
Current plans and prices are shown on our home page. Prices are quoted in Euros (€) unless otherwise stated and may exclude taxes, which will be added at checkout where applicable. We may change prices for future billing periods with reasonable advance notice; the new price applies on your next renewal.
5.2 Payment processing
All payments are processed by Takbull Ltd. on Takbull's own secure environment. We never collect or store your full payment-card details on our servers. By submitting a payment, you authorize Takbull to charge your selected payment method and you accept Takbull's applicable terms.
5.3 Automatic renewals — all plans (monthly and annual)
Every paid plan is a recurring subscription set up as a standing order, not a one-time purchase. When you subscribe, you authorize us, through our payment processor Takbull, to automatically charge your payment method at the start of each new billing period at the then-current price, with no further action required by you, until you cancel:
- Monthly plans renew every month.
- Annual plans renew every 12 months. An annual plan is not a single one-time payment; it continues and re-charges each year unless you cancel before the renewal date.
You can cancel at any time from your dashboard. Cancellation stops all future renewals; you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for (see Section 6 and our Refund Policy).
5.4 Renewal reminders & price changes
For annual plans, we will send a reminder email to the address on your account before each renewal (at least 14 days in advance), showing the renewal date and the amount we will charge. We may change prices for future billing periods; we will give you advance notice (at least 30 days before the renewal the new price applies to). A new price applies only from your next renewal, and you may cancel before it takes effect if you do not agree.
5.5 Failed payments
If a renewal payment fails, we may attempt to charge again after a short delay. If payment cannot be collected within 14 days of the original due date, your access will be paused and the subscription marked as past-due. We are not liable for charges your bank may apply for failed transactions or chargebacks.
5.6 Taxes
You are responsible for any sales, value-added, withholding, or other taxes that apply to your purchase under the laws of your country of residence, unless we are legally required to collect them.
5.7 Invoices
Takbull issues a digital invoice/receipt for every successful charge. You will also see all charges in your dashboard.
5.8 Upgrading your plan
You may upgrade to a higher plan at any time from your account. When you upgrade, your first charge is only the difference between your current plan's price and the new plan's price; from then on you are billed the new plan's full price each cycle. Upgrading starts a fresh billing cycle from the upgrade date: your renewal date moves accordingly and your previous billing date no longer applies. Upgrades are made within the same billing interval (a monthly plan upgrades to a monthly plan; a yearly plan to a yearly plan). We do not pro-rate by day; the unused remainder of your previous plan is applied toward the upgrade rather than refunded. Coupons cannot be combined with an upgrade. Downgrades are handled manually. Contact support.
6. Refunds & cancellation
Full details are in our Refund Policy. In short:
- You can cancel any subscription at any time from your dashboard. Cancellation stops future renewals; access continues until the end of the period you already paid for.
- We do not offer voluntary refunds for amounts already charged, including renewals. Once you start streaming, your purchase has been used.
- Where the law gives you a mandatory right to a refund, we honor it. EU/EEA and UK consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal, and consumers in Israel have a 14-day cancellation right, in each case subject to the conditions and the digital-content rules in the Refund Policy (notably, you lose the EU/UK right of withdrawal once you start streaming the content).
7. Your license to use the content
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, worldwide license to stream the lessons for your own personal, non-commercial educational use during your active subscription. No other rights are granted.
8. What you must not do
You agree not to, and not to assist anyone else to:
- Download, record, copy, scrape, or distribute any video, audio, image, or text content from the Service, except for a single copy of materials we explicitly mark as downloadable, for your personal use.
- Re-publish, re-broadcast, screen-share, or perform our lessons publicly (online or in person), or use them to deliver paid classes of your own.
- Share your login, sell or transfer your account, or use someone else's account.
- Circumvent any access control, plan-gating, watermarking, or other technical protection measure.
- Use the Service or our content to train any machine-learning or generative-AI model, or to fine-tune or evaluate any such model.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service.
- Upload malware, attempt to gain unauthorized access, probe for vulnerabilities, or otherwise interfere with the Service.
- Post or transmit content that is unlawful, harassing, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, or that infringes anyone's rights.
- Use the Service to send spam, advertising, or solicitations to other users.
- Use the Service to violate any applicable law, including export-control, sanctions, or consumer-protection laws.
Violation of this Section is a material breach and may result in immediate suspension or termination without refund, and we may pursue all available legal remedies.
9. Your content (Q&A, profile)
You may post questions, comments, or other content ("User Content") within the Service, for example in lesson Q&A or your profile.
9.1 Your responsibility
You are solely responsible for your User Content. Do not post anything you do not have the right to post, and do not include personal data of others without their consent.
9.2 License to us
You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, display, modify, distribute, and use your User Content for the purposes of operating, improving, and promoting the Service. This license survives termination of your account for content that has been publicly displayed (for example, an answered Q&A) so we may keep the educational record intact.
9.3 Moderation
We may, but are not required to, review, edit, or remove User Content at our discretion, including content that breaches these Terms or applicable law. We are not responsible for User Content posted by others.
10. Our intellectual property
All content on the Service, including videos, audio, images, text, choreography, music selections, course structure, drill sheets, quizzes, code, logos, and trademarks, is owned by Bachata Groove or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you. "Bachata Groove", "BachataGroove", and our logos are our trademarks.
11. Health, safety & physical activity
Dance involves physical activity that carries inherent risks of injury. You acknowledge and agree that:
- You participate in lessons voluntarily and at your own risk.
- You should consult a qualified medical professional before starting any new physical activity program, especially if you have a medical condition, injury, are pregnant, or are recovering from illness or surgery.
- You will stop immediately if you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other warning sign.
- The Service is not medical, physiotherapy, or rehabilitation advice. We are not your doctor, trainer, or therapist.
- Our instructors are dance professionals, not medical professionals.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release us from liability for any injury, harm, or loss arising from your participation in any lesson or exercise shown on the Service.
12. Service availability & third parties
We strive for high uptime but do not guarantee that the Service will be available, error-free, or uninterrupted. The Service depends on third parties (Vimeo for video, Vercel for hosting, Supabase for data, Takbull for payments, email providers, internet service providers) whose outages may affect availability.
We may schedule maintenance, change features, or temporarily limit access for security or operational reasons.
13. Suspension & termination
13.1 By you
You can cancel a recurring subscription at any time from your dashboard. You can request account deletion by emailing support (see Section 20).
13.2 By us
We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have:
- breached these Terms, including Section 8;
- misused the Service, our content, or other users;
- caused a chargeback or fraudulent payment;
- created legal, security, or reputational risk for us; or
- not paid amounts due.
Where appropriate, we will give you reasonable notice and an opportunity to remedy. For serious breaches, suspension may be immediate and refunds may be denied.
13.3 Effect of termination
On termination, your right to access the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (IP, your obligations, indemnity, disclaimers, liability, governing law) will survive termination.
14. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service and all content are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, or that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
We do not warrant that you will achieve any particular dance skill, fitness outcome, or social result. Individual results vary based on practice, prior experience, and other factors outside our control.
15. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- We will not be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, even if advised of the possibility.
- Our total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms in any 12-month period will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or €100, whichever is greater.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death, personal injury caused by our gross negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law.
16. Indemnity
You will defend, indemnify, and hold us, our affiliates, instructors, contractors, and licensors harmless from and against any third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to: (a) your use of the Service in breach of these Terms; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of any applicable law; or (d) your infringement of any third-party right.
17. Changes to the service & these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email and/or by a notice in the Service before the change takes effect. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and you may request to cancel.
18. Governing law & jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The competent courts of Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.
If you are a consumer resident in the EU/EEA, UK, or another jurisdiction that grants you mandatory protections, you also retain the protections of the mandatory laws of your country of residence, and you may have additional rights you cannot waive.
19. Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement. These Terms (together with the Privacy, Refund, and Cookie policies) are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service, superseding all prior agreements.
- Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
- No waiver. Failure to enforce a right is not a waiver.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them as part of a corporate transaction or to a successor.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures due to events beyond our reasonable control.
- Notices. Notices to you may be given by email or via the Service. Notices to us must be sent to the email below.
