A LITTLE RIVALRY BETWEEN FRIENDS

Terms of use

Effective September 28, 2026 | Friends web pilot

Rivale is operated by Meltemi Labs. It is a free, unofficial game for four friends who enjoy Dancing with the Stars. By creating an account or using the game, you agree to these terms.

Who can play

This pilot is for adults aged 18 and over. Use an email you control, keep your password private, and use your own account. You are responsible for activity you authorize. Tell support if you suspect someone else has accessed your account.

The game

Each league uses the rules shown in its League rules panel, including draft order, roster size, keepers, deadlines, scoring, tiebreaks and the finale. The server clock determines deadlines. Watching an episode later does not extend them. Automatic draft picks and missing-entry defaults are part of those rules. Read the rules before marking yourself ready.

Show information comes from external sources. Scores may be delayed or corrected, and corrections can change standings. We do not guarantee instant results, continuous availability, or that every device or connection will work without interruption. Report a scoring concern through your league's dispute controls.

Fair play

Do not impersonate another person, harass players, post unlawful or sensitive personal information, misuse invitations, attempt unauthorized access, bypass deadlines, exploit faults, or overload the service. Keep display names and league names appropriate for your group. The operator may restrict access to investigate abuse or protect the game; contact support if you think an action was mistaken.

No charges or wagering

The pilot has no subscriptions, automatic renewals, purchases, paid advantages, cash prizes or betting. You will not be charged merely for creating or using an account. Any future paid offering would require separate, clear terms and your agreement.

Leaving and deleting your account

You may stop using Rivale at any time. Lobby and completed-season membership controls let you leave; an owner first transfers ownership. Active seasons preserve the four competition seats and continue with the game's missed-entry rules. This does not prevent you from requesting account deletion. Shared scores and limited competition history can remain as explained in the Privacy policy.

Content and independence

You keep any rights you have in names or messages you submit and allow us to use them to operate your league and handle support. Only submit material you are entitled to share. Dancing with the Stars and third-party names and images belong to their respective owners. Rivale is not affiliated with or endorsed by ABC, Disney, the show or its contestants. Image source credits are provided with the cast gallery.

Changes, service limits and contact

This is a small friends pilot and features or availability may change. We will explain material changes to these terms before they apply. Nothing here removes rights or remedies that applicable law does not allow us to limit. For help, complaints, privacy requests or questions about these terms, contact the operator.
