SashBoard

Terms of Service

Last updated October 16, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Cresta Studios LLC (“Cresta Studios”, “we”, “us”), which makes and runs SashBoard, about using SashBoard: the website at sashboardapp.com, each pageant’s portal, and the SashBoard app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Please read them; by creating an account, starting a trial or using SashBoard, you agree to them. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal information, and our cookie policy what is kept on your device.

1. Who’s who

A pageant (a local or state pageant organization) subscribes to SashBoard and is our customer. The person who signs a pageant up, and any director the pageant makes an administrator, acts for the pageant and confirms they are allowed to. Our Pageant Agreement is part of these terms for pageants: it covers how we handle the information a pageant keeps in SashBoard.

Members are the people a pageant invites: its board, titleholders, contestants and their parents or guardians. Fans are anyone who follows a pageant, buys a ticket or casts a vote.

2. Who can use SashBoard

SashBoard is for people 13 and older. A member under 18 may use SashBoard only with the permission of a parent or guardian and of their pageant. Pageants are responsible for the members they invite, for the roles they give them, and for removing access when someone leaves.

3. Accounts

You sign in with a one-time code sent to your email, or with your Apple account. Keep your email account secure, and tell your pageant’s directors or us if you think someone else has used your account.

4. Plans, the free trial and billing

• Every pageant starts with a 30-day free trial. A card is needed to start it; nothing is charged during the trial.
• Unless the pageant cancels before the trial ends, its plan then starts and the card is charged the plan’s price, monthly or yearly, until cancelled. Prices are shown on our website in US dollars and don’t include sales tax that may apply.
• A pageant can change plans or cancel anytime from Settings › Plan & billing in its portal. Plan changes are prorated. Cancelling stops future charges. Before a trial ends, and before a yearly plan renews, we email the pageant’s administrators what will be charged and when. Refunds are covered by our refund policy.
• If a payment fails and isn’t fixed, or a pageant cancels, its portal closes for everyone until the plan is renewed. Nothing is deleted because of this, and renewing opens everything back up.
• We may change our prices. We’ll tell a pageant’s administrators by email at least 30 days before a change affects them.
• Contestants, titleholders, parents, sponsors and fans never pay for SashBoard itself.

5. Tickets, votes and other sales

A pageant sells tickets, donations, other items and, where we have turned it on for that pageant, People’s Choice votes, through its own Stripe account, which it connects to SashBoard. Payments go straight to the pageant’s Stripe account, under Stripe’s own terms and fees. On the Local plan, SashBoard’s fee of 1% of each sale is taken at the time of the sale; the State plan has no SashBoard fee.

The pageant is the seller. It is responsible for what it sells, its prices, refunds to its buyers, any taxes on its sales, and following the rules and laws that apply to its fundraising, raffles and paid voting, including its national organization’s rules.

6. Your content

A pageant and its members keep ownership of what they put into SashBoard: messages, photos, documents, paperwork and everything else (“content”). You give us permission to store, process, display and send that content only as needed to run SashBoard for your pageant, and as our privacy policy describes. We don’t use content to train AI.

You are responsible for your content and confirm you have the right to share it, including permission from the people in photos and, for anyone under 18, from their parent or guardian.

If you believe something on SashBoard infringes your copyright, such as a photo you took, our copyright policy explains how to tell our copyright agent, and we remove infringing content when we’re told about it. We close the accounts of repeat infringers.

7. What a pageant publishes

A pageant can publish things to the public: its website pages, its show program and its program book in the SashBoard app, results and titleholders. What it publishes can be seen, saved and shared by anyone. Before publishing someone’s name, photo or biography, the pageant confirms it has their permission (a parent’s or guardian’s for anyone under 18), and it takes things down when asked. Taking something down stops SashBoard showing it, but can’t undo copies people have already saved.

8. What not to put in SashBoard

Don’t enter Social Security numbers, full dates of birth beyond what a form asks for, bank or card numbers, passwords, or medical details beyond the emergency card your pageant asks for. When a form needs sensitive numbers, give them to your directors in person or by phone.

9. AI features

Some features use AI: some run on your own device with Apple Intelligence, and others, where a pageant turns them on, use the pageant’s own account with Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (ChatGPT) or Google (Gemini). A pageant that connects its own account pays that provider for its use and follows that provider’s terms. AI suggestions can be wrong, incomplete or unsuitable; read them before you use them, and don’t treat them as coaching, judging, legal or medical advice. Don’t put anything into an AI feature that you wouldn’t share with that provider.

10. Acceptable use

Don’t use SashBoard to harass, threaten or embarrass anyone; to share anything unlawful, sexual or hateful; to impersonate someone; to send spam; to get at another pageant’s or member’s information; to break or overload SashBoard; or to copy or resell it. We may remove content or suspend access that breaks these terms, and will tell the pageant’s administrators when we do, unless the law or someone’s safety stops us.

11. Judging and results

SashBoard doesn’t judge or score contestants. Results, placements and awards are the pageant’s own, entered by the pageant.

12. Independence

SashBoard is independent software for pageant organizations. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Miss America Organization or any national pageant. Each pageant is responsible for following its own national, state and local rules.

13. Changes to SashBoard, and Beta features

We keep improving SashBoard, so features change. Features marked Beta are still being finished: they may change, stop working as expected or be turned off, and we may turn a feature on or off for a particular pageant. Don’t rely on a Beta feature alone for anything that matters on show night, such as show audio or the projector; keep a backup. Features that rely on Apple, Stripe, email providers, AI providers or other services depend on those services being available.

14. Leaving SashBoard

A pageant can stop using SashBoard anytime. Its administrators can ask us to export or delete its information, and members can ask their pageant or us to delete their account, as our privacy policy and Pageant Agreement explain. We may end a pageant’s use of SashBoard if it seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, after telling its administrators.

15. Disclaimers

We work hard to keep SashBoard running and your information safe, but SashBoard is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we don’t promise that it will always be available, error-free or meet every need, and we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

16. Limits on liability

To the extent the law allows, Cresta Studios is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue or data. Our total liability for any claim about SashBoard is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for SashBoard in the 12 months before the claim, or US$100. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

17. The SashBoard app from the App Store

If you got the SashBoard app from Apple’s App Store, these extra terms apply:

• These terms are between you and Cresta Studios, not Apple. Cresta Studios, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content.
• You may use the app on Apple devices you own or control, as Apple’s Usage Rules allow.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app; ask us.
• If the app fails to meet a warranty that applies, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund the app’s price, if any. To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
• Cresta Studios, not Apple, is responsible for handling any claims about the app, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and consumer protection or privacy claims.
• If someone claims the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property, Cresta Studios, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling and resolving that claim.
• You confirm you are not in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must follow any third-party terms that apply when you use the app, such as your mobile carrier’s.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and, once you accept them, may enforce them against you.

18. Disagreements

If something goes wrong, please tell us first; most problems can be sorted out quickly.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that isn’t settled informally will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Utah, and you and we agree to those courts’ jurisdiction.

19. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When we make a significant change, we’ll tell pageant administrators by email or in the portal before it takes effect. The date at the top shows when they were last updated.
