Bride and Grooms and Wedding Requests

It is your responsibility to determine whether you wish to be considered for or undertake any Wedding Request or deal with any Bride and Groom. We do not vet Bride and Grooms or their Wedding Request on behalf of our users, and we will not be liable to you in respect of any Wedding Request or relationship with any Bride and Groom in any way. We therefore recommend that you carefully assess each Wedding Request and carry out whatever lawful checks you consider appropriate in relation to any Bride and Groom before undertaking any work for them.

Service Content

The vast majority of the material on the Service originates from our users, and we rely on Bride and Grooms to accurately describe their Wedding Request requirements. We have little or no editorial control over the material and we therefore cannot guarantee the accuracy, timeliness, completeness, performance or fitness for any particular purpose of the material available through the Service. We cannot accept responsibility for errors, omissions, or inaccurate material available through the Service, and make no warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted or error free, or that any defects will be corrected.

Whilst we take steps to prevent misuse of our systems, we cannot warrant that the Service will be free of viruses or other malicious code and accept no liability for loss or damage caused from the transmission of such code. We recommend that you always use up-to-date firewalls and anti-virus software to protect your equipment and data.

Any material you obtain from the Service is used at your own risk, and we will not be liable for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with access or use of the Service (except to the extent that such liability cannot be excluded by law).

Use of the Service

You may not tender for any Wedding Request which is not legal or which may not legally be performed by you.

A core purpose of the Service is to connect Bride and Grooms to genuine Wedding Suppliers who wish to provide wedding products and/or services for those Bride and Grooms. The Service is therefore not for use by Suppliers who do not intend to carry out and ensure successful completion of each Wedding Request they accept. You therefore agree that you will not in any circumstance:

use the Service for the purpose of reselling, exchanging or purchasing or otherwise obtaining leads from other Suppliers;
pose as a Bride and Groom and post fake Wedding Request whether for purposes of identifying potential Suppliers in your area with whom you may wish to work, or in order to receive information from other Suppliers about their businesses and Wedding Request proposals, or for any other purpose whatsoever.

You agree that you will not use subcontractors on any Wedding Request without the prior consent of the relevant Bride and Groom. You are responsible for ensuring that you and your subcontractors are legally entitled to tender for and perform any Wedding Request for which you tender or accept. By using subcontractors on Wedding Requests obtained via the Service, you agree to procure that each of your subcontractors will also comply with the terms of this Agreement as if it were a party to it. You also acknowledge that you will be responsible to us and to all Bride and Grooms for the acts and omissions of your subcontractors.

We will not be a party to any contract made between you and any Bride and Groom and therefore we shall not be liable for any loss or damage that results from any dealings between you and any Bride and Groom including but not limited to any direct, indirect or consequential or inconsequential loss of any kind.

You agree not to use the Service in any unlawful manner and in particular shall not:

post any material that infringes any patent, trademark, copyright, Supplier secret or other proprietary right of any person;
post any corrupted files, files that contain viruses, or any other code that may damage the operation of a computer or other electronic device;
conduct or forward surveys intended for such uses, and shall not forward pyramid schemes or chain letters;
download any file Posted by another user of a forum that the user knows, or reasonably should know, cannot be legally distributed in such manner;
impersonate another person or entity, or falsify or delete any author attributions, legal or other proper notices or proprietary designations or labels of the original or source of software or other material contained in a file that is Posted;
cause the Service to be interrupted, damaged, rendered less efficient or such that the effectiveness or functionality of the Service is in any way impaired; or
restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the Service.

You agree that you will (and will ensure that your subcontractors will) comply with:

the Privacy Policy; and
the Payment Terms;

We may notify you of Wedding Requests from time to time, but we are not under any obligation to do so. Further, because Bride and Grooms retain the right to change or withdraw their Wedding Request from our Service, we are unable to give any warranty as to the availability or suitability of a particular Wedding Request. We do not review or confirm the accuracy of all details provided to us by Bride and Grooms, and we therefore cannot guarantee that all leads include correct and complete information. Further, we cannot guarantee that any leads generated using the Service will result in business for you, and no refund is offered in the event that you do not obtain business from the leads generated.

Behaviour

You agree not to use the Service in any unlawful manner and in particular shall not:

defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (including rights of privacy and publicity) of others;
publish, post, upload, distribute or disseminate (“Post”) any inappropriate, defamatory, abusive, infringing, obscene, discriminatory or otherwise unlawful material.

Payments

You agree to pay the fees for using the Service in accordance with the Payment Terms.

Our fees are quoted in Pounds Sterling, and we may change them from time to time, either temporarily – for example, in connection with certain promotions or the launch or marketing of new services, or for an extended period or permanently until our next fees review. We will notify you of such changes to our fees by posting such changes through the Service. Such changes will not affect any existing payment obligation to us, but they will be effective for any new or further use of the relevant service from the date on which we post the revised fees on the Service.

You are responsible for paying all applicable fees when they are due. If you fail to pay the relevant fees, without prejudice to any other right or remedy we may be entitled to under this Agreement or by law, we may limit your ability to use the applicable services. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms.

When you purchase a wedding request through the Service, we cannot and do not guarantee that you will receive any responses or that, if you do, any Bride and Groom that does respond will be suitable or will accept your quote. You are therefore not entitled to any refund if you do not receive any responses, or if you consider that any responses you have received are not suitable for your purposes

Cancellation and Termination

Wedding Suppliers can cancel access to the service at anytime without penalty. Any lead credits that have already been purchased at the time of cancellation will be lost and no refund will be given for any unused credits on the account.

Following termination of the Service the service may be disconnected unless the Customer makes alternative arrangements with the Company.

Links and User Content

It is not possible for us to review all websites which are linked to from the Service (or link to the Service), and you should therefore take care when following any link. We cannot accept liability for any loss or damage that may be suffered as a result of following any links. You agree not to Post links to any websites.

The Service contains a portal to allow you to communicate with brides and grooms. Although our hope is that all users will use the Service responsibly, and we require all users to ensure that all content that they post on the Service is lawful, we are not responsible for reviewing or policing user content and so it is possible that communication may carry offensive, harmful, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate material, or in some cases, postings that have been mislabelled or are otherwise deceptive. We urge you to exercise proper judgement and to use caution and common sense when using our portal service. We do not control the information delivered within the portal and have no obligation to monitor the communications within the portals.

You are responsible for your own communications and for any consequences arising out of them. The portals are intended to allow users to send and receive messages and material that are legal, proper and related to the particular wedding request, and you agree that you shall use them only for this purpose.

We do not guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any communications Posted in the portal or endorse any opinions expressed in the portal.

You are responsible for your own communications and for any consequences arising out of them. The Communication portals are intended to allow users to send and receive messages and material that are legal, proper and related to the particular wedding request, and you agree that you shall use them only for this purpose.

You are solely responsible for the content, accuracy, and completeness of the Supplier Business Information, and agree only to provide true, accurate, current and complete information. You also accept all liability arising out of or in connection with your processing and transmission of the Bride and Groom Information.

You acknowledge that we may edit, modify or remove any parts of Supplier Business Information which we consider is in breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, and/or suspend or terminate your access to the Service without notice.

By providing Supplier Business Information you grant to us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, copy, reproduce, modify, publish, edit, translate, distribute, perform, and display the material alone or as part of other works in any form, media, or technology whether now known or hereafter developed, and to sub-license such rights through multiple tiers of sub-licensees. The foregoing grants shall include the right to exploit any proprietary rights in such materials, including but not limited to rights under copyright, trademark, service mark or patent laws under any relevant jurisdiction. You also waive any moral rights you have in the materials. Do not post any materials on the Service that you would not want us to use in this way.

We check the information that you provide on registration and during your continued use of the Service. You acknowledge and agree that we may at any time request verification and identity and address documents and information from you in order to complete our fraud prevention and identity and address verification checks which we carry out from time to time. We reserve the right to terminate the provision to you of the Service or restrict your access to the Service at any time in the event that you fail to provide all of the requested verification and identity and address documents within the requested timescale or if you do not pass our fraud prevention or identity verification checks.

You consent to information about the device you use to access the Service and verification, identity and address documentation being collected and processed for fraud prevention purposes and we may use third parties (and information they provide) to help us prevent fraud or unauthorised access to our Service.

You agree not to copy, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute or publicly display any content (except for your Supplier Business Information) from the Service without our prior written permission.

To the extent that we provide you with Bride and Groom Information, you agree that you shall:

treat the Bride and Groom Information as confidential and not share the information with any other person;
only use the Bride and Groom Information for the purpose of contacting them in relation to the particular Wedding Request for which you were provided with the information, and for no other purpose whatsoever;

Arrangements with Bride and Grooms

Should you (or any of your subcontractors) have a dispute with a Bride and Groom, you must address such dispute directly to the Bride and Groom concerned.

Save as provided above, we cannot be involved in your dealings with Bride and Grooms and, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more Bride and Grooms, you hereby release (and shall procure that your subcontractors release) us from any and all claims, demands and damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

Portal Messaging

Our portal messaging feature enables you, the Supplier, to talk and share content with Bride and Grooms on our site. This includes, but is not limited to, sharing text, images and video. To protect any personal information that is shared via chat, at no point should content be copied, shared, re-posted or repurposed to any other platform or site.

We take no responsibility for any of the content posted using our messaging feature, either by yourself or anyone you are in conversation with via the messaging feature. We do not monitor the messages sent via the portal but do retain the right to use or edit anything posted in a message or remove any content that breaks this User Agreement. We also reserve the right to share any or all content deemed inappropriate, or that relates to a criminal investigation, to the relevant authorities.

Any additional work that is agreed with a Bride and Groom via a message, which falls outside the scope of the original job posted by the Bride and Groom to the Hassle Free Weddings platform and without a related follow up job being created, will fall outside of the Hassle Free Weddings service and no further contractual agreements will be made involving Hassle Free Weddings.

Should you, or anyone, post content we deem inappropriate or that contravenes this User Agreement, we reserve the right to permanently remove you, or that user, from our service.
