2. REGISTRATION

2.1 Registering Your Account

In order to access certain features of the Website and the Services you may be required to become a Registered User. For purposes of these Terms, a "Registered User" is a User who has registered an account on the Website ("Account"), has a valid account on a social networking service ("SNS") through which the User has connected to the Services (each such account, a "Third Party Account"), or has an account with the applications provider for the User's mobile device.

2.2 Access Through an SNS

If you access the Services through an SNS as part of the functionality of the Website and the Services, you may link your Account with Third Party Accounts, by either (a) providing your Third Party Account login information to CWS through the Website or the Services; or (b) allowing CWS to access your Third Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third Party Account.

You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third Party Account login information to CWS and/or grant CWS access to your Third Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein) without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third Party Account and without obligating CWS to pay any fees or making CWS subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third party service providers.

By granting CWS access to any Third Party Accounts, you understand that CWS will access, make available and store (if applicable) any Content that you have provided to and stored in your Third Party Account ("SNS Content") so that it is available on and through the Website and Services via your Account and your profile page. Unless otherwise specified in the Terms, all SNS Content will be considered to be Your Content (as defined in Section 3.1) for all purposes of the Terms.

Depending on the Third Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third Party Accounts will be available on and through your Account on the Website and Services. Please note that if a Third Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or CWS's access to such Third Party Account is terminated by the third party service provider, then SNS Content may no longer be available on and through the Website and Services.

You have the ability to disable the connection between your Account and your Third Party Accounts at any time by accessing the "Settings" section of the Website. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS.

You agree not to create an Account using a false identity or information, or on behalf of someone other than yourself.

You acknowledge that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags and/or other materials accessible through the Website or the Services, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, including CWS Materials ("Content"), are the sole responsibility of the party from whom such Content originated.

This means that you, and not CWS, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available ("Make Available") through the Services or the Website, including SNS Content ("Your Content"), and other Users of the Services, and not CWS, are similarly responsible for all Content they Make Available through the Services or the Website ("User Content").

3.2 No Obligation to Pre-Screen Content

You acknowledge that CWS has no obligation to pre-screen Content (including, but not limited to, Your Content and User Content), although CWS reserves the right in its sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse or remove any Content. By entering into the Terms, you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to such monitoring and recording.

You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the transmission of Your Content, including without limitation chat, text, or voice communications. Without limiting the foregoing, CWS will have the right to remove any Content that violates the Terms or is otherwise objectionable.

3.3 Storage

Unless expressly agreed to by CWS in writing elsewhere, CWS has no obligation to store any of Your Content that you Make Available on the Website or via the Services. CWS has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or accuracy of any Content, including Your Content; the failure to store, transmit or receive transmission of Content; or the security, privacy, storage, or transmission of other communications originating with or involving use of the Services.

Certain Services may enable you to specify the level at which such Services restrict access to Your Content. You are solely responsible for applying the appropriate level of access to Your Content. If you do not choose, the system may default to its most permissive setting.

You agree that CWS retains the right to create reasonable limits on CWS's use and storage of the Content, including Your Content, such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and similar limits described in the web pages accompanying the Services and as otherwise determined by CWS in its sole discretion.

4.3 Other Content

Except with respect to Your Content, you agree that you have no right or title in or to any Content that appears on or in the Website or the Services.

CWS does not claim ownership of Your Content. When you as a User post, publish or submit Your Content on or in the Website or the Services, you represent that you own and/or have a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive right (including any moral rights) and license to use, license, reproduce, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, derive revenue or other remuneration from, and communicate to the public, perform and display Your Content (in whole or in part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media or technology now known or later developed, for the full term of any worldwide intellectual property right that may exist in Your Content, and to allow others to do so as well.

For Vendor Users specifically: By submitting Your Content, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary rights, permissions, and clearances from any third parties (e.g., photographers, clients, other vendors) whose work or images appear in Your Content.

4.5 License to Your Content

By submitting Your Content to any public area of the Website or the Services, you grant CWS a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive and fully sub-licensable right (including any moral rights) and license to use, license, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform, publicly display, derive revenue or other remuneration from, and communicate to the public, Your Content (in whole or in part) and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media or technology now known or later developed, for the full term of any worldwide intellectual property right, including moral rights, that may exist in Your Content.

You acknowledge that we may publish, and you authorize us to publish, your name and business information (for Vendor Users) or your first name and last initial (for Couple Users) in association with any Content that you post to public areas of the Website or the Services.

You also warrant that the holder of any worldwide intellectual property right, including moral rights, in Your Content, has completely and effectively waived all such rights and validly granted to you the right to grant the license stated above. You agree that you, not CWS, are responsible for all of Your Content that you Make Available on or in the Website, or the Services, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted.

In addition to the rights granted above, by submitting or authorizing the submission of Your Content to be featured on the CWS Website, you expressly grant CWS a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, fully sub-licensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, modify, index, tag, and incorporate Your Content—including images, vendor and business details, and related metadata—into current and future features of the Website and Services.

For the avoidance of doubt, submitting Your Content does not transfer ownership to CWS. You retain all ownership rights, but you grant us broad rights to use, display, and distribute it as outlined herein.

You may request removal of Your Content from public-facing portions of the Website by contacting CWS at the contact information provided in Section 17.10. Such requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and honored where required by law or otherwise deemed appropriate by CWS.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the Feedback.

You hereby grant to CWS a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, and fully sub-licensable right and license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, re-format, create derivative works of, and otherwise commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner, any and all Feedback, and to sublicense the foregoing rights, in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Website and the Services.

7. INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS

7.1 User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users of the Services and any other parties with whom you interact through the Services; provided, however, that CWS reserves the right, but has no obligation, to intercede in such disputes.

Important Notice for Couple Users: CWS provides a platform for you to discover and research wedding vendors. All contracts for wedding services are made directly between you and the Vendor Users. CWS is not a party to any such contracts and has no control over the quality, timing, legality, or any other aspect of services provided by Vendor Users. You are solely responsible for conducting appropriate due diligence before entering into any contract with a Vendor User.

Important Notice for Vendor Users: Your membership with CWS provides you with a listing on the Website but does not guarantee any bookings or client inquiries. You are solely responsible for all communications and contracts with Couple Users who contact you through the Website. CWS does not endorse, guarantee, or assume any responsibility for your services.

7.2 Content Provided by Other Users

The Website, Services, and CWS Materials may contain User Content provided by other Users. CWS is not responsible for and does not control User Content. CWS has no obligation to review or monitor, and does not approve, endorse or make any representations or warranties with respect to User Content. You use all User Content and interact with other Users at your own risk. Your interactions with other Users are solely between you and the other User and we are under no obligation to become involved. You agree that CWS will not be responsible for any liability incurred as the result of such interactions.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "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."

7.4 Independence of Members

Each CWS Member operates as an independent business entity. CWS does not employ, supervise, or control the services, pricing, or conduct of Members and is not responsible for any representations, omissions, or performance issues by Members.


CWS acts solely as a networking directory and professional collective platform. Engagements or contracts between Members and clients are strictly between those parties.

8. THIRD PARTY SERVICES

8.1 Third-Party Products and Services

The Website, Services, and CWS Materials can be used to facilitate the purchase and sale of wedding services through the Website from Vendor Users. All matters concerning the wedding services desired from a Vendor User, including but not limited to service terms, payment terms, warranties, guarantees, and delivery, are solely between you and the Vendor User.

CWS makes no warranties or representations whatsoever with regard to any wedding services provided by Vendor Users. You will not consider CWS, nor will CWS be construed as a party to such transactions, whether or not CWS may have received some form of revenue or other remuneration in connection with the transaction or be liable for any costs or damages arising out of, either directly or indirectly, to you or any other person involved or related to the transaction.

CWS is not a wedding vendor and does not provide wedding services. CWS operates solely as a platform connecting Couple Users with Vendor Users.

8.2 Third-Party Websites & Ads

The Website, Services, and CWS Materials may contain links to third party websites ("Third Party Websites") and advertisements for third parties (collectively, "Third Party Websites & Ads"). When you click on a link to a Third Party Website or Ad, we will not warn you that you have left our Website and are subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination.

Such Third Party Websites are not under the control of CWS. CWS is not responsible for any Third Party Websites & Ads. CWS provides these Third Party Websites & Ads only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third Party Websites & Ads, or their products or services. You use all links in Third Party Websites & Ads at your own risk. When you leave our Website, our Terms and policies no longer govern. You should review applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any Third Party Websites, and should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party.

17.8 Arbitration

(a) Small Claims Arbitration: Any claim or dispute (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with this Agreement where the total amount of the award sought is less than Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $5,000.00) may be resolved in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief.

Such arbitration will be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution provider ("ADR Provider") that offers arbitration as set forth in this section and under the rules of such ADR Provider, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with this Agreement.

The ADR Provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (1) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (2) all arbitration proceedings will be held in English; (3) the arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (4) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Each party will bear its own costs (including attorney fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and will pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, CWS may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Larger Claims Arbitration: Any other dispute (including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable) will be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and will be administered by the nearest AAA office (the "Administrator").

The location of the arbitration will be Charlottesville, Virginia. The dispute(s) will be submitted to a single arbitrator chosen by the parties or selected by the Administrator. The arbitral proceedings, and all pleadings and written evidence will be in the English language.

Each party will bear its own attorney's fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and will pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrator; provided, however, the Arbitrator will be authorized to determine whether a party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for its reasonable attorney's fees, costs and disbursements.

(c) Waiver of Class Actions: BY USING THE WEBSITE OR THE SERVICES IN ANY MANNER, YOU AGREE TO THE ABOVE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS.
