Terms & Conditions

1. Scope

These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "Terms") govern the contractual relationship between Verein COUNTRY HIGH, Rüschigenstrasse 50, 3713 Reichenbach im Kandertal, Switzerland (hereinafter "we", "us" or "COUNTRY HIGH Dance Academy") and the persons who use our offerings (hereinafter "users" or "members").

The Terms apply to the use of the online dance academy, the purchase of memberships and digital content, and registration on the waitlist. Deviating conditions of the users are not recognised unless we have expressly agreed to their validity.

2. Provider and contact

The provider of the services is Verein COUNTRY HIGH, Rüschigenstrasse 50, 3713 Reichenbach im Kandertal, Switzerland. You can reach us at hello@countryhigh-academy.com.

3. Services of the Academy

The COUNTRY HIGH Dance Academy provides online dance classes, choreographies, tutorial videos and other digital content relating to country and line dance. Access is provided via our website and the accounts made available there.

The scope, content and features of the offering are set out in the current description on our website. We continuously develop the offering and may add, change or remove content insofar as this is reasonable for users.

4. Waitlist

Before the start or during a break, we offer the option to join a waitlist without obligation. Registration is free of charge and does not give rise to any claim to conclude a membership. We inform registered persons by email as soon as new registrations are possible.

5. Registration and conclusion of contract

A user account is required to use paid content. When registering, truthful and complete information must be provided. Login credentials must be kept confidential and must not be passed on to third parties.

The contract is concluded when we confirm the registration or order or activate access to the paid content. Users must be of legal age or have legal capacity with the consent of their legal representative.

6. Memberships, prices and payment

We offer our content as a monthly or annual membership and as one-off purchases of individual content. The monthly membership costs EUR 29.– per month; the annual membership and one-off purchases are available at the prices stated on the website at the relevant time. The prices stated at the time of ordering, in the currency indicated there, including any statutory charges, are decisive.

We offer a free trial period; its duration and conditions are stated on the website. After the trial period ends, the membership converts – unless cancelled beforehand – into a paid membership.

Payment is made using the payment methods offered on the website, in particular Shopify Payments/Stripe, credit card, PayPal, TWINT and Klarna. Payment processing is handled by external payment service providers, whose terms apply additionally. For recurring memberships, the amount due is charged at the start of the respective billing period.

7. Term and cancellation

The monthly membership has a minimum term of one month and is automatically renewed for a further month unless cancelled. The annual membership runs for twelve months and is renewed – unless cancelled – for a further year.

Cancellation is possible at any time as of the end of the current billing month, via the user account or by email to hello@countryhigh-academy.com. Amounts already paid for a current period are not refunded, to the extent permitted by law. One-off purchases are not affected by cancellation.

8. Right of withdrawal and return

Under Swiss law, there is generally no statutory right of withdrawal for contracts covering digital content. Different mandatory consumer protection provisions may apply to users from the EU; any right of withdrawal expires once the provision of digital content has begun with express consent before the withdrawal period has expired.

9. Rights of use and intellectual property

All content of the Academy (videos, choreographies, texts, graphics, music selection, trademarks and logos) is protected by copyright and remains our property or that of the respective rights holders.

With the membership you receive a simple, non-transferable right, limited to the term of the contract, to use the content privately. Downloading, reproducing, publicly performing, passing on or commercially exploiting the content is prohibited without our prior written consent.

10. Obligations of users

• Login credentials must be kept secure and not shared.
• The content may only be used for personal, non-commercial purposes.
• No measures may be taken that impair the functionality of the platform.

11. Availability

We strive to keep the platform available as continuously as possible, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. Maintenance work, technical faults or circumstances beyond our control may lead to temporary restrictions.

12. Health notice

Dancing is physical activity. Participation is at your own responsibility. If in doubt, please check with a doctor beforehand whether the exercises are suitable for you, and adjust the intensity to your personal condition.

13. Liability

We are liable for damages only in cases of intent or gross negligence. Liability for slight negligence as well as for indirect and consequential damages is excluded to the extent permitted by law. Mandatory statutory liability provisions remain reserved.

14. Amendments to the Terms

We may amend these Terms at any time. The version valid at the time the contract is concluded or the service is used is decisive. We will inform you of material changes in an appropriate manner.

15. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

Swiss law applies exclusively, to the exclusion of its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is – to the extent permitted by law – the registered seat of Verein COUNTRY HIGH. Mandatory places of jurisdiction protecting consumers remain reserved.
