Yafers is a platform for organising and managing registrations for Irish dance events (feiseanna). We provide tools for event organisers to publish competitions, manage age categories, accept registrations, issue invoices and collect online payments. Our service helps parents, teachers and organisers run registrations reliably and transparently.

1. About us

We support competition management, dancer profiles, category assignment, invoice generation, and integration with payment providers for online acquiring. Our mission is to simplify event administration and give participants a clear, secure registration experience.

3. Goods and services offered

On this website we provide:

Event creation and management tools for organisers (create feiseanna, competitions, rules, age categories).
Public registration for dancers and teams (profile + selections per competition).
Cart and checkout flow: Yafers fees (platform fees) and competition/administration fees.
Invoice generation and basic reporting for organisers.
Payment integration (online acquiring) to accept card payments.

4. Legal limitations

All transactions and activities must comply with Republic of Armenia laws and payment system rules.
Organisers must not accept payments for activities illegal under applicable law.
Payments for competition entries and other organiser fees are collected for the benefit of the feis organisers and are remitted to the organiser (Yafers facilitates the payment flow but does not act as the organiser). Any competition fees shown on the site are charged in favour of the organiser specified on the event page.
Responsibility for the organisation, running and conduct of a feis (including schedules, admission rules, refunds in accordance with WIDA, and local arrangements) rests solely with the feis organiser. Participants and payers should direct any organisational or event-specific questions, complaints or refund requests to the organiser listed for the event.
Yafers is a platform provider and does not assume organiser responsibilities for events posted by third parties; Yafers' liability is limited to providing the registration and payment facilitation services.

5. Prices and currency

All prices displayed on the site are real prices payable for the selected services. Prices for services provided within the territory of the Republic of Armenia are shown in Armenian drams (AMD) — their display is mandatory for Armenian transactions. When an organiser offers prices in other currencies, the site will show currency and conversion rate where applicable.

Registration fees and payment flow:

Yafers platform fee: a fixed fee of 900 AMD is charged per dancer registration. This platform fee covers the operation of the registration service and payment processing facilitation.
Competition (entry) fees and any other organiser fees are determined by the feis organiser (and in accordance with WIDA rules and the organiser's internal instructions). These fees are collected and remitted directly to the feis organiser; Yafers only facilitates the payment flow where configured by the organiser and acquiring provider.
On checkout the total amount is presented as a split between the platform (Yafers) fee and the competition/organiser fees so that payers clearly see which portion goes to the platform and which is paid to the organiser.

6. Delivery terms

Our platform sells event registrations (digital services). For physical goods (if any sold by organisers) delivery terms are defined by the organiser and must be clearly shown on the event page. Organisers must indicate whether delivery or collection is available and any limitations to deliveries outside Armenia.

7. Returns and refunds

Platform fee (Yafers fee): The platform fee is non‑refundable under any circumstances.

Competition (feis) entry fees: Competition entries are non‑refundable in accordance with WIDA rule 1.6: "Feis entries once paid are non‑refundable (for example in the cases of non‑attendance, injury, etc.), irrespective of whether the entry deadline has passed. Refunds will only be issued in the case that WIDA or the Feis host cancels an event." If an organiser or WIDA cancels an event, refunds (if any) will be processed according to the organiser's rules and the acquiring bank's procedures; please contact the event organiser or support@yafers.org with your registration and payment details.

8. Customer data, privacy & cookie policy

We collect and process user data necessary to provide registration and payment services: name, contact, date of birth (for age categories), and payment metadata. We do not store full card PAN or CVV. Personal data processing is performed in accordance with applicable law — see the full Privacy Policy (link) for details.

9. Website security & card data rules

Do not share card details by email or other insecure channels.
