WeddingWire Terms of Use

Last Revised July 4, 2022

These Terms of Use ("Agreement") describe the terms and conditions (the "Terms") applicable to your use of the services of the www.weddingwire.ca Web site (“WeddingWire.ca” or the "Site") operated by Wedding Planner, S.L. (“We,” “Us,” “Our” or “WeddingWire”). By using the Site, you signify your acceptance of these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use this Site. We reserve the right to amend these Terms from time to time without notice. All modified terms and conditions shall take effect immediately after posting to the Site. We encourage you to review this page periodically because any changes will be binding on you. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, and/or changed by you in any manner.

1. WeddingWire is a Neutral Venue.

The Site is an innovative community and marketplace for the wedding industry. WeddingWire is not a wedding product or service provider , wedding vendor or an agent representative. Site members ("Members") include prospective brides and grooms, newlyweds and their Wedding guests (collectively, “Wedding Members") and companies and other third parties offering products and services related to Weddings ("Vendor Members"). We and the Site function solely as a neutral venue and digital clearinghouse where Wedding Members and Vendor Members may connect for a particular type of service or product. We are not involved in or a party to the actual transaction between Members. As a result, We have no control over the quality, accuracy, safety, or legality of the transactions that take place on the Site, the accuracy of listings, or the ability of Vendor Members to provide items or services and We or our affiliates are not responsible for the actions or inactions of Wedding Members or Vendor Members.

Wedding Members:

You acknowledge the following: We do not provide any of the products or services advertised or offered by Vendor Members. We do not endorse any Vendor Member, nor do We guarantee the quality of their goods or services. Any and all communications, correspondence, verbal or written, or any warranties or representations, made with regard to products and services offered through the Site are not provided by us and are specifically and solely between you and the Vendor Member. Any transaction you enter into with a Vendor Member is strictly between you and the Vendor Member, and WeddingWire is not a party to that transaction. Any dispute you have with a Vendor Member is between you and the Vendor Member, and We and our affiliates will not be a party to that dispute, except regarding your use of the Site, as discussed in Section 32 and 33.

We use techniques to help verify the identity of Vendor Members when they register for memberships on our Site; however, We cannot and will not guarantee any service provider's identity; nor can we guarantee their capabilities. We have implemented a user-managed feedback system to help you evaluate Vendor Members with whom you are considering transacting business. In addition, We cannot guarantee that information provided by or about Vendor Members on the Site is accurate. You should use the Site as a starting point for identifying vendors to provide the products and services you need for your wedding, then conduct your own research to ensure that vendors you choose to do business with are appropriate for you. You acknowledge that participation in certain programs, when and if available, may under certain circumstances result in Vendor Members receiving contact information for you in accordance with the terms and conditions governing these programs.

Vendor Members:

You acknowledge the following: We will not endorse you or your products or services. We are in no way responsible for assisting you in reaching an agreement with Wedding Members; nor are We responsible for assisting you in providing goods and services to Wedding Members; Vendor Members are the only entities liable for fulfilling any legal requirements applicable to their professional activity; we are not responsible for ensuring that Vendor Members are appropriately licensed. While all Wedding Members are required to give us accurate information about themselves, We cannot and will not verify this information or guarantee the ability of Wedding Members to complete payment for any of the products or services you provide. Any transaction you enter into with a Wedding Member is strictly between you and the Wedding Member, and WeddingWire is not a party to that transaction. Any dispute you have with a Wedding Member is between you and the Wedding Member, and We will not be a party to that dispute. After We and the Vendor Member have terminated our relationship, We shall be entitled to retain all reviews associated with a Vendor Member on the Site as well as basic directory information, including, without limitation, business name, address and telephone number.

2. Membership.

Membership to WeddingWire is available only to entities and individuals who are at least the older of 18 years of age and the age of majority in their jurisdiction, and who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Our services are not available to minors or to temporarily or indefinitely suspended Members. Membership in the Site is void where prohibited. Your WeddingWire membership may not be transferred or sold to another party. If you are registering as a business entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement. If you are registering as an individual, you represent and warrant that you are at least the older of 18 years of age and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and are able to enter into a legally binding contract. Members who engage in the sale of goods and services must have a valid business operations license, as applicable. By joining WeddingWire, you agree to (i) provide us with accurate, complete information about yourself and to update this information as needed; (ii) abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the WeddingWire.ca Vow of Conduct and the WeddingWire.ca Community Guidelines (see both below); (iii) safeguard your username and password; and (iv) be responsible for all activity of your membership account. "Basic," "Free Trial," "Lite," or other unpaid vendor memberships may be offered by WeddingWire periodically.

In addition, We may charge interest, in the amount of 2.0% per month (24% per annum) (or the maximum amount allowed by law), on any unpaid account balance that you maintain. Any partial payments made by Members will first be applied to the most recent fees owed to Us, including interest.

10. Disputes Among Members; Release.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other WeddingWire Members, and We are not party to any such disputes.

You agree to, and you hereby, release Us, Our and our affiliates, and all of our combined officers, directors, agents, and employees from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of any kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with any disputes between you and any other Site Members. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

11. Account Flagging System.

The Site is self-policed by the Site community (the “Community”) via a flagging system. The flagging system is used to communicate the policies of the Site Terms of Use. Site members are able to 'flag' certain texts/content that do not comply with this Agreement. A "Flag as Inappropriate" link will appear on certain pages. When accessed, the popup window will appear asking the user to specify the reason for the violation. This information will then be sent to Us for investigation. If the violation is deemed legitimate by Site staff in its sole discretion, either a warning, suspension or membership termination may be issued to the violating member. You agree not to flag any content that you do not in good faith believe is inappropriate.

12. Information You Submit.

You assume legal responsibility for and will indemnify WeddingWire, and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, and agents from, all damages incurred as a result of any of your Submitted Information.

13. Rating and Review Disputes.

If you undermine the integrity of our Rating and Review system in any way, your membership may be suspended or terminated. Each Vendor Member acknowledges that your Rating and Review ("feedback") consists of opinions left by other Site Members and a machine calculated feedback score. You further acknowledge that WeddingWire does not make judgments on the veracity of opinions or statements.

Feedback Rules:

1. Members may only leave one feedback item per unique transaction, whether positive, neutral, or negative, for any Vendor Member.
2. The Member leaving the review must have conducted business with the Vendor Member and be able to provide proof of that business.
3. By submitting feedback, you agree that feedback is subject to compliance audit by the Site Compliance Team at any time. Any feedback item investigated by the Site Compliance Team may be temporarily or permanently removed.

In order to protect the integrity of the Rating and Review system, We will only consider removing a feedback item under the following scenarios:

1. If feedback posted contains language that is profane, vulgar, discriminatory or contains adult material.
2. If We are provided with a binding ruling or settlement agreement from a valid and certified dispute resolution service, or is provided with a court order finding that the feedback is slanderous, libelous, defamatory or otherwise illegal or the court order requires removal.
3. If feedback posted makes any reference to actions taken or purported to be taken by Us or any law enforcement organization
4. If feedback posted seeks to elicit or solicit any Member's contact information, such as other Member email addresses, for any non-Site related commercial or business purposes, or to transmit any unsolicited advertising, "junk mail," "spam," or "chain letters"
5. If the Member who left feedback cannot be reached by Us or fails, within two months from the date We attempt to contact such member as part of the dispute process, to validate that the business was conducted with the Vendor Member.
6. If feedback contains personally identifiable information of other members, personnel of Vendor Members or any other person. Personally identifiable information includes, but is not limited to, full names, date of birth, physical addresses, email addresses, credit card numbers, social security numbers or any other identification number provided by a government.
7. If required pursuant to the Copyright Policy in this Terms of Use.

14. Filing a Ratings and Review Dispute.

15. Fraud.

We may suspend or terminate your account if We suspect that you have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with our Site , as determined in our sole discretion. Fraudulent acts include, but are not limited to, the manipulation of the Rating and Review system.

16. Manipulating Ratings and Reviews

- You acknowledge and agree that the Site is a neutral venue and that all transactions for services are made by and between you and other Members only and, therefore, We cannot, do not and will not make any comments on behalf of you or your services. As a consequence, you acknowledge that the key component and integrity of the Site is the ability of Members to leave Ratings and Reviews about you and/or your services (whether positive, neutral or negative) AND for other Members to read and evaluate those feedback reviews and make voluntary choices based upon that feedback. Therefore, in order to preserve the key component and integrity of the Site, you shall NOT:

Attempt to restrict in any way a Member's right to post a review, by contract or otherwise;
Offer a Member cash or other compensation in any form in exchange for a more favorable review;
Post and/or cut and paste and/or copy the content of a Member feedback review from the Site to your own personal or business site, to any other third party Web site and/or to or on any of your own personal, business or third-party marketing/advertising materials, regardless of the form;
Attempt to gain feedback by receiving multiple feedback from the same member;
Post or attempt to post, in any manner or by any means, a feedback review on your own account; or

17. Coupons.

We may allow you to receive promotional coupons, codes or vouchers("Coupons") that may be used to purchase goods and services from third parties ("Coupon Vendors"). In no event shall We be responsible for providing the goods and/or services indicated in a Coupon. We shall have no liability for the goods and/or services provided under a Coupon. You agree to look solely to the Coupon Vendor for the goods and/or services to be provided; therefore, the Coupon Vendors are responsible for any damages, claims or liabilities, including, but not limited to, injuries and property damages. You hereby release WeddingWire and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents from and you waive, and release us and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, and agents from, any and all claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, costs, and attorneys' fees and expenses whatsoever, known or unknown, arising out of the goods and/or services provided in connection with the Coupons. Additional terms and conditions may be contained on each Coupon. Any violation of the Coupon terms and conditions will make the Coupon void. We are not responsible for lost or stolen Coupons. The combination of a Coupon with other coupons or offers is at the sole discretion of the Coupon Vendors. Coupons are not redeemable for cash. Only one Coupon per redemption. A Coupon is automatically void if prohibited by law. A Coupon may not be used for alcohol, tips, taxes, and any other statutory limitations. Any Coupon credit for use of the Coupon for less than its face value shall be at the sole discretion of the Coupon Vendor, unless otherwise required by law. You acknowledge and agree that We may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Coupons to you or to users generally at Our sole discretion, without prior notice to you.

18. Tools; Changes to Site.

The Site offers several tools to Members (collectively, "Member Tools"), some of which are provided by third parties.

Transactions that occur between you and such third-party sites are strictly between you and the third party and are not the responsibility of WeddingWire. Because WeddingWire is not responsible for the availability or accuracy of these outside resources or their contents, you should review the terms and conditions and privacy policies of these linked sites, as their policies may differ from ours.

31. Legal Compliance.

You shall comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding your use of our service and your listing, shipping, transporting, and solicitation of offers to ship and transport items.

32. Governing Law; Venue and Jurisdiction.

This Agreement shall be governed by Spanish legislation, which shall be applied to the validity, interpretation, execution and compliance thereof. Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of this Site, to the goods or services provided through the Site, this Agreement, or to any acts or omissions for which you may contend, We are liable, including but not limited to any claim or controversy as to arbitrability ("Dispute"), shall be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration, as further specified in Section 33, below. Only the extent that the arbitration provisions are inapplicable or unenforceable with regard to a particular Dispute, such Dispute shall be submitted to the Courts and Tribunals of the city of Barcelona in the country of Spain. Consequently, both parties expressly renounce their own jurisdiction. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any Dispute or lawsuit, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees.

33. Arbitration.

Disputes between you and WeddingWire regarding the Site and our services should be reported to support AT WeddingWire DOT ca . We will attempt to resolve any disputes you have with us. Because We are a neutral venue, We are not responsible for resolving any disputes between you and members regarding services or transactions. In accordance with Section 32, above, any arbitration related to a Dispute shall be held before one arbitrator under the commercial arbitration rules of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution ("ICDR") in force at that time. The arbitration shall be conducted in Barcelona, Spain. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the ICDR rules. Should no ICDR rule regarding Barcelona, Spain selection of an arbitrator be in effect, the Member shall select an arbitrator from a panel of arbitrators acceptable to WeddingWire. In any arbitration, the parties will split the cost of the filing fee, plus the costs associated with the first day of arbitration, with the remaining costs of arbitration paid by the non-prevailing party, provided, however, that in in the State of Maine in the United States any cost to the consumer shall be limited to the cost of filing a court case. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand therefore.

Any judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction in Barcelona, Spain.. The arbitrators shall not have the power to award damages in connection with any Dispute in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of an arbitration under this Agreement with an arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved.

THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND WEDDINGWIRE WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU THUS GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. You are entitled to a fair hearing, but the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court. By using Our goods and services or the Site, you consent to these restrictions.

34. Security.

WeddingWire uses industry standard practices to protect your personal information, including firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. We utilize several different security techniques to protect data from unauthorized access, but, Except as specified in a Terms of Purchase, We cannot guarantee the security of our system.
