Terms of use
The terms that apply when you use Showorder, the limits of what a running order planning aid can be relied on for, and what stays free for every studio.
Last updated 28 September 2026
What this is
Showorder is a planning aid that turns the routines, performers and rules you type into a proposed running order, and prints documents from it. The order of a show is an artistic decision and stays yours. The planner does not know your venue, your costumes or your dancers, so the gap you set between a dancer's numbers is the gap it works to, and a quick change it reports as unavoidable is unavoidable only under the rules you gave it. Check the order and every printout before you publish it to staff or families.
Names and children
Type whatever label you need to tell dancers apart. Nothing you enter leaves your browser. You remain responsible for following your studio's or school's rules about children's information on the device you use. Showorder makes no claim about the safety or supervision of anyone in a show.
Names used
Software and organisations are named on the comparison page and in the guides only to describe them, with the date their public pages were read. Showorder is not affiliated with any dance studio software company, dance teachers association, music examination board or competition organiser.
What is free
A solved running order for a show of up to 15 routines is free to use with no account and stays that way, as does checking an order you made yourself at any size, the running order grid, the printed backstage running order, the quick change report, and JSON backup and restore. A paid tier adds larger solved shows, the multi-show split, pins and grouping rules, every print layout, CSV and saved seasons on top of that. Nothing free is moved behind a gate to make room for it.
Your data
Anything the site remembers is stored by your own browser on your own device. You can clear it at any time, we cannot recover it, and it does not follow you to another device. Save a backup file regularly if the show matters to you.
Refunds
Not happy with a purchase? Email socialreminderinfo@gmail.com within 14 days of a first purchase, or within 7 days of a renewal, and we will refund it. Send the message from the email address you used at checkout, and include:
- the email address used at checkout (if you are writing from a different address)
- your access code, shown on the Premium page while you have Premium on the browser you purchased from
- roughly when you purchased, and which plan (weekly, yearly or lifetime)
- the last 4 digits of the card, if you have the receipt handy
That is everything needed to find the purchase and process the refund. This policy does not limit any statutory rights you may have.
Acceptable use
Use the site to build running orders. Do not scrape it at a rate that degrades it for other people, and do not enter more about a performer than you need to tell them apart.
Warranty and liability
The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, Showorder is not liable for any loss arising from its use or from reliance on a running order it proposes. Check every order before you publish it to staff or families.
Contact
Questions, and reports of an order that breaks a pin it should have kept, go to socialreminderinfo@gmail.com. A pin broken by the solver is a defect and gets fixed.
