BridalTweet Terms of Use
Last Revised May 26, 2009

These Terms of Use ("Agreement") describe the terms and conditions (the "Terms") applicable to your use of the services of BridalTweet. ("BridalTweet” or "We"), available at BridalTweet.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you signify your acceptance of these Terms. These Terms work in conjunction with the Ning Terms of Service and do not supersede them. 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 BridalTweet Website. 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; however, you may choose to terminate your membership at your choosing. The failure by BridalTweet to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be construed as a waiver of such provisions. This Agreement is effective May 26, 2009 for all users.

1. Membership. By joining BridalTweet, 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, (iii) safeguard your username and password; and (iv) be responsible for all activity of your membership account. BridalTweet Members ("Members") include prospective brides and grooms, bridal parties, mothers of the bride, friends of brides, wedding guests and other third parties offering products, services, and content related to weddings ("Vendor Members").

2. Right to Reject or Remove Members. We reserve the absolute right to reject your participation, or remove you from your current participation, in the BridalTweet Site at any time and for any reason or for no reason and without notice to you.

3. BridalTweet is a Neutral Site. BridalTweet is a wedding community and directory. BridalTweet is not a wedding product or service provider, wedding vendor or an agent representative. We and the Site function solely as a neutral venue where 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 our Website, the accuracy of listings, or the ability of Vendor Members to provide items or services and we are not responsible for the actions or inactions of Vendor Members.

Members: You acknowledge the following: BridalTweet does 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 BridalTweet venue 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 BridalTweet is not a party to that transaction. Any dispute you have with a Vendor Member is between you and the Vendor Member, and We will not be a party to that dispute. We cannot guarantee that information provided by or about Vendor Members on the Site is accurate.

Vendor Members: You acknowledge the following: BridalTweet will not endorse you or your products or services. We are in no way responsible for assisting you in reaching an agreement with Members; nor are We responsible for assisting you in providing goods and services to Members. While all Members are required to give us accurate information about themselves, We cannot and will not verify this information or guarantee the ability of Members to complete payment for any of the products or services you provide. Any transaction you enter into with a Member is strictly between you and the Member, and BridalTweet is not a party to that transaction. Any dispute you have with a Member is between you and the Member, and We will not be a party to that dispute.

4. Disputes Among Members; Release. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other BridalTweet Members, and We are not party to any such disputes. You agree to release BridalTweet, its 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 BridalTweet Members.

5. DMCA Notice. It is BridalTweet's policy to promptly respond to claims of copyright infringement. If you believe that an infringing copyrighted work is accessible on this Site, you may notify us by sending the following information to the address listed below: a. The signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright. This signature can be physical or electronic. b. A statement that this person is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner. c. A statement that this person has a good faith belief that the use of the material in the complained-of manner is not authorized either by the copyright owner, by the owner's agent, or by law; d. A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, and a description of where the allegedly infringing material is located on the Site; and e. Your address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Please put "Notice of Infringement" in the subject line of all such notifications, and send the notification to: christine@BridalTweet.com. We will process and investigate all notices of alleged infringement as required by the DMCA, and will remove or disable access to any material claimed to be infringing or claimed to be the subject of infringing activity. When we remove or disable access to any material claimed to be infringing, we may attempt to contact the user who has posted such material in order to give that user an opportunity to respond to the notification. If the user posting the material gives a counter-notification claiming that the use is authorized, we will furnish that counter-notification to the complaining party, and will give the complaining party an opportunity to seek judicial relief under the DMCA before we replace or restore access to any material. 6. Information You Submit. Members are solely responsible for the content of their Submitted Information. We cannot and will not evaluate and We are not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, completeness, veracity or suitability of any Submitted Information or for verifying the identity of the submitting Member. Like any information you obtain through the Internet, you should verify Submitted Information before acting upon it. BridalTweet is not responsible for any losses you may incur as a result of relying on Submitted Information.
