The Site is open to Studio Owners/Directors, Parents/Guardians, Participants, and the general public. Some areas of the Site (including registration and waiver processes) may require an account through our third-party registration platform.
If you are a parent/guardian, you are responsible for any information you submit on behalf of a minor. If you are a studio representative, you confirm you are authorized to act for your studio.
VRTX uses third-party software and services, including TourPro, for registration, waivers, and related event operations (the “Registration Portal”). Your use of the Registration Portal may also be subject to TourPro’s terms and privacy practices.
VRTX is not responsible for third-party platforms or services that we do not control, including their downtime, errors, or policy changes.
Participation in any VRTX event is subject to our Rules & Regulations, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Rules & Regulations, the Rules & Regulations will control for event-related matters.
VRTX may adjust event details at our discretion, including (but not limited to) schedules, venues, judges, categories, run-of-show, awards, and staffing. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate major changes, but you are responsible for checking updates.
At this time, VRTX does not process payments directly through the Site. Payments may be collected through the Registration Portal, through VRTX internal office operations, and/or other third-party providers (for example: registration payments, entry fees, merchandise, and photo/video packages).
Unless otherwise stated in writing by VRTX for a specific event:
If you have a billing question or dispute, you agree to contact VRTX first at admin@vrtxdance.com so we can work toward a resolution. Unauthorized chargebacks or disputes may result in loss of eligibility, suspension of accounts, or being denied participation, where permitted by law.
If an event is impacted by circumstances outside of VRTX’s reasonable control (including weather, venue issues, illness outbreaks, government actions, travel disruptions, or emergencies), VRTX may, at our discretion:
VRTX events are athletic and performance-based activities and may involve inherent risks.
A completed liability waiver is required for all participating contestants and their families/guardians as part of the Registration Portal (TourPro). Studios are responsible for ensuring required waivers are completed by the appropriate parent/guardian. Participation in any VRTX event requires this document.
Photo and video may be taken at events for operational and promotional purposes. Consent may be handled through both the waiver and separate consent where applicable.
VRTX is committed to a safe, family-forward environment. Zero tolerance includes (but is not limited to): harassment, bullying, intimidation, unsafe behavior, disrespect toward staff/judges/participants, or any behavior that compromises safety at a children’s event.
VRTX may remove or deny entry to any person or studio for conduct violations, and such removal may occur without refund, where permitted by law.
VRTX offers an Access Division (A1) intended to support participants with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities.
Eligibility, accommodations, and participation guidelines are detailed in our Rules & Regulations and/or Registration Portal materials. VRTX will make reasonable efforts to support access needs when requested in advance, but accommodations may vary by venue and operational constraints.
All content on the Site and VRTX materials—logos, trademarks, text, graphics, photos, videos, designs, and other content—are owned by VRTX or licensed to VRTX and are protected by intellectual property laws.
You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit our content without written permission.
Reposting VRTX photos/videos is handled case-by-case. If you would like permission to use in any non-personal way or for other commercial use, contact admin@vrtxdance.com.
If you upload content (including music files or routine-related materials) through the Registration Portal, you represent and warrant that you have the legal rights, licenses, and permissions to use and submit that content for competition and event purposes.
VRTX may remove or restrict access to submissions that appear to violate rights or policies.
