Terms of service for Chills 2026.

These are the formal terms that govern your ticket, your attendance, and the weekend itself. We wrote them in language you can actually read, because we believe clarity is a form of respect.

Skip to the index17 sections. A 10-minute read.

Read once.
Know your
ground.

Nothing here is designed to surprise you. These terms exist to protect every dancer, every instructor, and the weekend itself. We write them down because transparency is how trust begins.

§ 01

The event these terms govern

Chills 2026 at Eighty Eight Studios, Sept 11 to 13 in Los Angeles.

These terms govern your participation in Chills Dance Camp 2026, a 3-day weekend held from September 11 to September 13, 2026 at Eighty Eight Studios in the NoHo Arts District of Los Angeles. They apply to every dancer, assistant, crew member, press pass, and guest who buys a ticket or steps into the building across those 3 days.

Throughout this document Chills Dance Camp is referred to as the Organization, and you, the ticket holder and attendee, are referred to as the Participant. Together we are stepping into a mutually beneficial relationship built on clarity, shared care, and the love of dance. These terms set the foundation for that relationship, outlining the rights and responsibilities of each side from the first click of checkout to the last hug in the parking lot on Sunday night.

For the most current information on schedule, instructors, venue logistics, and ticket availability, please visit chills.dance. Where the website and these terms conflict, the website is the live source of truth for event details, and this page is the live source of truth for the commercial and legal relationship between us.

§ 02

Acceptance of these terms

By buying a ticket or walking through the door, you agree to everything here. 18+ only.

By purchasing a ticket, registering an account on our website, or attending any part of the Chills weekend, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these terms in full. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not purchase a ticket or attend the event. We mean that gently, not as fine print. We want every dancer in the room to feel clear about what they are stepping into.

Chills is an 18+ weekend. You confirm that you are at least 18 years old on the first day of the event and that you are acting as a legal adult under the laws of your jurisdiction. The service and the event are not accessible to individuals under 18, and our house team will verify government-issued photo ID at the door on every day of the weekend.

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, the revised version will be posted on this page with a new revision date. Continued use of the website or attendance at the event constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Material changes that affect a ticket already purchased will be communicated by email to the address on the original order.

§ 03

Pricing policy

Prices may rise as the weekend nears. The price you reserved at is yours to keep.

Our pricing policy allows for adjustments before an order is confirmed at checkout. Prices may increase as the start of the weekend approaches, reflecting demand, tier progression, and the finite capacity of the room. Once your order is confirmed and payment has cleared, the reserved ticket price is yours and yours alone. It does not change again, regardless of future tier adjustments.

The Organization does not impose additional fees after a ticket has been purchased. The total you see at checkout is the total you pay. In the opposite direction, if tickets are later sold at a discounted rate, whether through a flash release, a partner promotion, or a last-minute sale, a participant who paid the earlier price cannot request a refund of the difference. The price you pay at checkout is the price you locked in, forward and backward in time.

§ 04

Payment and processing

Stripe handles payment. Major cards and digital wallets accepted.

Full prepayment is required before any ticket, day pass, or add-on is confirmed. All ticket purchases are processed securely through Stripe, our payment partner, and we do not store or handle your card details ourselves. Accepted methods include major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diners Club, and UnionPay) and digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link), subject to availability in your region.

By confirming your payment you confirm two things: first, that you have the legal right to use the card, account, or payment method presented, and second, that the information you have provided, including billing address, name, and contact details, is accurate, correct, and complete. If we discover a payment has been made fraudulently or with materially incorrect information, we reserve the right to cancel the order, refund where law requires, and contact the relevant authorities.

All purchases are made directly through the official Chills website at chills.dance or, where capacity allows, at the door on the day of the event. We do not authorize any third-party resellers or ticket marketplaces. If you see a Chills ticket for sale outside of our own channels, write to us before you part with any money so we can help you verify.

§ 05

Refunds and ticket transfers

All sales final. Same-weekend day-pass transfers possible with notice.

Refunds are not available. Payment for participation in Chills is final and non-refundable in the case of cancellation, illness, travel disruption, scheduling conflicts, or a simple change of plans. We appreciate your understanding, and we honor this policy consistently so we can continue to book the venue, pay our instructors, and plan the weekend with confidence for every ticket holder who says yes.

Tickets are non-transferable between events. Within the same weekend, you may gift an unused day pass to another dancer in good standing before doors open on that day. Write to us from the email on your original order so we can verify the transfer with care. Once a pass has been scanned at the door, it is spent and cannot be moved to another person.

If Chills is ever cancelled or materially rescheduled by us, the options process is outlined in the event changes section below. In short, a real person will reach out within 72 hours with a clear path forward.

§ 06

Taxes and duties

Sales taxes arising from your purchase are yours. Your income tax stays yours.

The Participant agrees to settle all taxes and duties that arise from the purchase of a Chills ticket or add-on, including federal, state, and municipal sales taxes, applicable occupancy or venue fees, and any duties imposed by your local jurisdiction on the purchase of entertainment or event services. Where we collect these at checkout, they appear as a separate line item on your receipt.

The one tax the Participant does not owe under this agreement is income tax, which remains the personal responsibility of each party and is not in any way tied to the purchase of a ticket. If your jurisdiction imposes a tax we have not collected at checkout, settling it is your responsibility, and we recommend keeping your order confirmation email as evidence for your own records.

§ 07

Availability, errors, and inaccuracies

Schedules shift. Typos happen. Changes do not trigger refunds.

We work hard to keep the Chills schedule, instructor lineup, pricing, and class descriptions accurate and up to date across every surface we control. Even so, from time to time there may be pricing errors, description inaccuracies, delays in updating a page, or limited instructor availability. Third-party listings on festival sites, press coverage, or partner promotions may also lag behind the live information on chills.dance.

We do not guarantee absolute accuracy and completeness of the information on any surface, and we reserve the right to amend details, make updates, and rectify errors or inaccuracies at any time without individual notification. Where a material error affects your order directly, for example a clearly incorrect price, we will write to you before the weekend to make it right. Otherwise, minor changes do not entail refunds, and the live information on the website is always the source of truth.

§ 08

Event changes, cancellation, and force majeure

Life happens. If we reschedule or cancel, a real person reaches out within 72 hours.

We reserve the right to modify the event schedule, venue, instructor lineup, or programming at any time. We will make every reasonable effort to communicate changes promptly through email and across our website so no dancer is surprised at the door. Substitutions of individual instructors or classes for reasons of illness, travel, or availability do not entitle any participant to a refund.

In the event of a cancellation or material change caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, extreme weather, public health emergencies, epidemics, wars, acts of terrorism, government orders, or venue failure, the affected party is released from its contractual obligations under this agreement. This is sometimes called force majeure, and it means neither side is at fault. The party invoking force majeure will notify the other as soon as reasonably possible, make efforts to mitigate the circumstances, and resume performance once conditions allow.

If Chills is cancelled by us outright, every ticket holder will hear from a real person within 72 hours with the options on the table, which may include a full refund, a credit toward a future event, or a transfer to a rescheduled date. We will handle it with transparency and care.

§ 09

Assumption of risk and personal health

Dance is physical. Know your body, carry insurance, take the break.

Participation in Chills involves physical activity, including dance classes, workshops, labs, and social dancing. By attending, you acknowledge that these activities carry inherent risks, including but not limited to muscle strain, sprains, falls, soft-tissue injury, and other physical harm. You voluntarily assume all risks associated with your participation.

We strongly recommend that every participant carry personal health insurance sufficient to cover potential injury or illness during the weekend. In the event that you are injured or fall ill on site, you agree to promptly seek medical assistance at your own expense. You remain accountable for your physical and mental wellbeing across all 3 days of the event. If you feel unwell, listen to yourself and take the break. Prioritize your health over the next combination, always.

You agree that you are physically fit to participate and that you will warm up, stay hydrated, and not push beyond your own limits. You waive and release the Organization, its organizers, instructors, staff, and venue partners from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action arising from personal injury, illness, or other incident sustained during the event, except where caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct on our part.

§ 10

Photos, video, and your likeness

Any content captured at Chills may be used by the Organization without restriction. Opt out by writing ahead.

By attending Chills, you grant the Organization an unrestricted, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, and perpetual license to use any photographs, video, and audio captured during the weekend, whether recorded by our accredited house media team or by you outside of class sessions, for editorial coverage, archive, and future promotional material for Chills and its partners. The license covers content that includes your likeness as well as content you capture at the event and publicly post, tag, or otherwise share in relation to Chills, and is granted free of charge, without limitation on format, platform, or duration.

If you would prefer not to appear in content used by the Organization, write to us before the weekend and we will flag you on the crew list so our photographers and videographers know to keep you out of frame. A visible pass identifies our house team, and you are welcome to remind them at the top of a class if you would rather not be filmed that session. The same opt-out applies to content you choose not to post publicly; if it stays private, it stays outside this license.

Personal recordings, including phone video and audio, are not permitted during classes and labs. This protects the creative work of our instructors and preserves the focus of the room for every dancer in it. Outside of class sessions, take all the photos and video you want, especially during the 10-minute meet and greet that follows each class, and know that anything you publicly share from the event falls under the license above.

§ 11

Intellectual property and brand

The Chills brand, original choreography, and site content belong to their creators.

All content associated with Chills, including but not limited to the name, logo, visual identity, website content, photography, marketing materials, and original choreography presented at the event, is the intellectual property of the Organization and its respective creators. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or commercially use any of this content without prior written consent from the appropriate rights holder.

Personal, non-commercial use of content we have publicly published, for example resharing a post from our social channels, is welcome and encouraged. Reposting with a credit warms our hearts. Reselling, rebranding, or passing off our work or an instructor's choreography as your own does not, and we will defend the brand and our instructors' work vigorously when needed.

§ 12

Personal data and privacy

We collect only what we need. The full breakdown lives on the Privacy page.

When you register for Chills, we collect the personal information needed to welcome you safely: your name, email address, phone number, billing address, and payment details processed through Stripe. Usage data may also be collected automatically through the website, including device type, browser, and pages visited, to keep the service secure and to improve its performance over time.

We keep your data confidential, store it securely, and only use it for communication about your order and the weekend, identification at the door, payment processing, and the occasional news update or special offer. By using our service you consent to the transfer of the relevant data to the third parties required to fulfill your order, including Stripe for payment and our email platform for communication. You retain the right to update, modify, or delete your personal information at any time, either through your account on the website or by writing to chillsdancecamp@gmail.com.

While data deletion may take a short period to propagate through our systems, we will acknowledge your request promptly and confirm completion when the process is done. No method of transmitting or storing data over the internet is entirely foolproof, and while we apply commercially reasonable security measures and comply with prevailing data privacy laws, absolute security cannot be guaranteed. For the full, detailed breakdown of what we collect, how we store it, and the rights you hold, please read our Privacy Policy at chills.dance/privacy.

§ 14

Limitation of liability

Capped at the price of your ticket, except where law says otherwise.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the Organization nor its organizers, officers, employees, instructors, staff, or venue partners shall be liable for any special, consequential, indirect, incidental, or punitive damages. This includes but is not limited to loss of profit, loss of data, business interruption, personal injury, breach of confidentiality, or any damage arising out of or related to your participation in the event, your use of the website, or your reliance on any information we have provided.

In no event shall our total liability to any participant exceed the amount that participant paid for the ticket giving rise to the claim. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based, whether contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise. The Organization and its staff are solely accountable for fulfilling the terms of this agreement as applicable legislation requires.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by gross negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law that governs this agreement.

§ 15

Termination and suspension

Serious violations end access, without refund. Minor ones get a conversation first.

In the event of a violation of these terms, our community policies, or our Code of Conduct, the Organization reserves the right to terminate or suspend your access to the website, to purchased services, and to the event itself, without prior notice, without refund, and without ongoing liability. Minor infractions will be met with a conversation first, and we will always aim to de-escalate rather than escalate where that is safe and appropriate for the people affected.

Serious violations, including harassment, discrimination, threats or acts of violence, substance abuse on the premises, and deliberate bypass of identity or ticketing controls, end access immediately. Following termination, your right to attend the event or use related services is revoked, and no refund or credit will be issued. Our full Code of Conduct lives on the Policies page and is the authoritative expression of how we hold the room.

§ 16

Waiver, severability, and governing law

California law applies. What remains stands if one part falls.

Non-enforcement of any right or claim under these terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or claim. We may choose, at any time and in any situation, not to enforce a provision fully. That choice does not preclude us from pursuing enforcement in a later case, and it does not waive any remedy available to us under law. Equally, our waiver of a single claim is not a waiver of future claims arising from similar circumstances.

Should any portion of these terms be found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that portion will be revised to align with the parties' intentions to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The remaining provisions will remain valid and enforceable, and the agreement as a whole will continue to govern the relationship between the Participant and the Organization.

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. For any dispute or conflict arising from your participation in Chills or your use of our service, we recommend attempting informal resolution first by writing to chillsdancecamp@gmail.com. We will do the same. If informal resolution is not successful, any remaining dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

§ 17

Questions and contact

A real inbox, a real person, a real reply. chillsdancecamp@gmail.com.

For questions about these terms, about your order, about access to the event, or about any part of the weekend, write to chillsdancecamp@gmail.com from the email on your ticket where possible. A real person reads every message, and replies come within 2 working days. Where a question falls outside of these terms, we will point you to the right part of the Policies or Privacy pages so you can find the answer in full.

Thank you for reading this far. We know terms pages are rarely anyone's idea of a good time, but clarity is a form of care, and we want every dancer to feel informed and respected before they step into the room. We cannot wait to welcome you into Eighty Eight Studios in September, to share the floor with you, and to build this community together, 1 dancer at a time.
