Founding Studios Program Terms
Terms governing the Founding Studios Program — the free Pro trial granted to the first 100 Studios to claim ownership on Bailar.
Effective Date: July 8, 2026
These Founding Studios Program Terms (the “Program Terms”) are an appendix to and form part of the Bailar Terms of Service and the Studio Master Terms, in each case as offered by Bailar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (successor by statutory conversion effective May 4, 2026 to Bailar LLC, a Florida limited liability company) (“Bailar”). By enrolling a Studio in the Founding Studios Program, you agree to these Program Terms in addition to the Terms of Service and the Studio Master Terms. Where these Program Terms conflict with the Studio Master Terms with respect to the trial period, conversion, or any Founding-100-specific benefit, these Program Terms control for the duration of the Founding-100 trial and immediately-post-trial cycle described herein; for all other subjects (data processing, marketplace-facilitator status, chargebacks, termination, dispute resolution) the Studio Master Terms control. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Service or the Studio Master Terms.
1. The Program
The “Founding Studios Program” (the “Program”) is a promotional program offered by Bailar to the first one hundred (100) Studios to successfully claim ownership of their Studio listing on Bailar (each, a “Founding Studio”). The Program offers each Founding Studio a ninety (90)-day free trial of the Bailar Pro plan (the “Founding Trial”), at the conclusion of which the Pro subscription auto-converts to the then-current standard Pro price (currently $29.00 USD/month, or $290.00 USD/year if annual billing is selected during the Founding Trial). No discounted post-trial subscription price is granted by the Program.
The Program is offered as part of Bailar’s Studio subscription service. Founding slots are allocated strictly by Studio-claim rank (ranks 1 through 100) as described in Section 2, on a first-come, first-served basis while slots remain available.
2. Eligibility — Claim Rank 1 to 100
A Studio is eligible for the Founding Trial if and only if its claim rank (its 1-based position in the global chronological order of approved Studio claims on Bailar, as recorded by Bailar at the time of approval) is between one (1) and one hundred (100), inclusive, at the time the Studio enrolls in the Pro plan. Claim rank is locked at the moment of approval and is not adjusted thereafter for any reason, including subsequent cancellations, refunds, or account changes. Claim ranks 101 and above are not Founding Studios and do not receive the Founding Trial; their Pro subscriptions are subject to the standard trial (currently fourteen (14) days) and then the standard price.
3. Plan Scope — Pro Only
The Founding Trial applies to the Pro plan only. Elite subscriptions are not eligible for the Founding Trial and are billed at the standard Elite price from day one. A Founding Studio in mid-Founding-Trial that upgrades to Elite forfeits the remaining portion of the Founding Trial; the Elite subscription is billed under Stripe’s standard mid-trial upgrade behavior with no carry-over benefit. A Founding Studio that completes the Founding Trial and converts to standard Pro may subsequently upgrade to Elite under the ordinary terms.
4. Trial Conversion
At the end of the ninety (90)-day Founding Trial, the subscription auto-converts to the then-current standard Pro price. The card on file is charged automatically. Cancellation prior to the trial-end date results in no charge for the Founding Trial; the Studio reverts to the Free plan and any subsequent re-enrollment in the Pro plan is treated under the standard trial rules of Section 5.
5. Cancellation, Re-Enrollment, and One-Time Per Real-World Business
If a Founding Studio cancels mid-trial (whether by the Studio, by Bailar for non-payment after the standard dunning sequence, or otherwise) and later re-enrolls in the Pro plan, the re-enrollment is treated as a new Pro subscription and is subject to the standard trial in effect for non-Founding Studios. The unused portion of the original Founding Trial is forfeited. The Founding Trial is offered on a one-time per-real-world-business basis: Bailar may, in its reasonable discretion, refuse to honor a Founding Trial (or revoke a previously-granted Founding Trial) if it determines that a single real-world business has claimed multiple Studio listings primarily to obtain multiple Founding slots. Multiple legitimate locations of a single business may each qualify for the multi-location features of the applicable plan; they do not entitle the business to multiple Founding Trials.
6. Currency, Tax, and Regional Pricing
The Founding Trial has no monetary subscription fee; consequently it is not denominated in any currency. The standard Pro price to which the subscription auto-converts at trial-end is denominated in United States Dollars (USD) and is exclusive of applicable taxes, levies, and similar charges (collectively, “Taxes”), which are added at checkout and remitted by Bailar via Stripe Tax in accordance with the local taxing jurisdiction. If Bailar introduces region-localized standard subscription pricing (e.g. a localized LATAM, EU, or APAC tier) during a Founding Trial, the post-trial price for that Founding Studio is the regional price in effect at the trial-end date.
7. Annual Billing
Bailar currently offers annual billing for the Pro plan (see the Studio Master Terms). Founding Studios may elect annual billing during the Founding Trial; the annual subscription is billed at the standard annual Pro price in effect at the trial-end date (currently $290.00 USD/year). Any general-availability annual-billing discount that Bailar offers to standard-priced subscribers applies to a Founding Studio’s post-trial annual subscription on the same terms as for any other subscriber.
8. Consumer Traction — Not Contractually Guaranteed
The Bailar Service is a two-sided marketplace at an early stage. The number of consumer users (dancers) on the Service, the volume of RSVPs, ticket sales, attendance at Studio events, or any other measure of consumer engagement is not contractually guaranteed by the Program. The features included in the Pro plan (portal access, event/class management, embeds, analytics, multi-location support, etc.) are the consideration Studios receive for the subscription fee — the Founding Studios Program is not a marketing-guarantee program and does not promise any specific level of consumer reach.
9. Program Sunset
The Program may be sunset, terminated, or otherwise discontinued by Bailar at any time, with not less than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice. Studios that began a Founding Trial before the effective date of any such notice complete their Founding Trial on the terms in force at the time of enrollment.
10. Modification of Program Terms
Bailar may modify these Program Terms from time to time. Material modifications affecting active Founding Trial participants will be communicated by email to the address associated with the Studio’s owner account and posted to /legal/founding-program-terms. Continued participation in the Program after the effective date of any modification constitutes acceptance of the modified Program Terms.
11. No Other Modifications to the Terms of Service
Except as expressly modified by these Program Terms, the Terms of Service, the Studio Master Terms, and the Refund & Cancellation Policy (including all dispute-resolution, arbitration, governing-law, and limitation-of-liability provisions) remain in full force and effect.
