How this document works

You accept this document once. Which Parts bind you depends on what you do here, and a Part you are not using does not apply to you.

If you wear more than one hat, more than one Part applies to you, and they apply together. A planner who is also getting married is bound by Part A as a couple and Part C as a planner, and there is nothing to accept twice.

Part A §1, §17, §18 and §19 are the common ones — acceptance, dispute resolution, governing law, and the European consumer terms. Parts B and C say where they follow those and where they differ.

When each thing starts to bind you

You are not asked to accept a stack on day one. Terms attach as you reach the thing they govern, which is also the order the product unlocks:

Nothing in the later rows is a second signup. Accepting these Terms already incorporates the Refund Policy and the DPA; the rows record the moment each one starts to have work to do, so a planner is not handed a data-processing contract before anyone has offered them a guest list.

(Version 1.0 carried a further row: Stripe's Connected Account Agreement, for providers taking payment through the Service. The on-platform payment rail was retired on 2026-09-04 before any provider connected to it — payments between couples and providers are made directly between them (§10) — so that row has no work to do and is withdrawn.)

Two documents sit outside this one, and on purpose

• The Cancellation & Refund Policy is separate because it is versioned on its own clock: the version that governed a subscription term stays retrievable years later, and folding it in here would re-version it every time an unrelated clause moved.
• The Data Processing Addendum is separate because a vendor's or planner's own counsel asks for it as a standalone they can review and countersign.

Both are incorporated into this document. The Privacy Policy describes what we do with personal information and is not a contract term.

Part A — Couples

1. The agreement

1.1 Who these terms are between

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a contract between you and Beetrothed LLC, a California limited liability company with its principal place of business at 5071 Ball Rd, #4838, Cypress, CA 90630 ("Beetrothed", "we", "us"). They govern your use of beetrothed.com and the Beetrothed wedding-planning service (together, the "Service").

1.2 Who these terms apply to

These Terms apply to couples, collaborators, and anyone else who uses the Service without a separate agreement.

If you use the Service as a wedding business, a different agreement governs and controls over these Terms where they conflict:

1.3 Accepting these terms

You accept these Terms by creating an account or by using the Service. If you accept on behalf of another person or an entity, you represent that you are authorized to do so.

1.4 Electronic agreement and records

You consent to transact with us electronically. Your click, tap, or continued use is your signature under the federal E-SIGN Act and comparable state law, and has the same effect as a handwritten signature. We may deliver notices, terms, receipts, and disclosures to you by email or by posting them in the Service, and you may withdraw this consent only by closing your account.

Where the Service records your acceptance of something specific — a provider's cancellation policy, a quote, an offer — it stores a snapshot of exactly what you were shown at the moment you accepted. That snapshot is the record of what you agreed to.

1.5 Eligibility, and where the Service is offered

You must be 18 or older to hold an account.

The Service is offered in the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Where you are matters to your rights, not to your welcome: if you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, Section 19 and the Privacy Policy give you rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR that the rest of these Terms do not reduce, and Section 17 (arbitration) does not apply to you at all.

We may offer the Service in further territories over time. Where we do, the Privacy Policy names the law that reaches you and the rights that come with it, and we will not quietly extend a document written for somewhere else.

2. What Beetrothed is, and what it is not

2.1 What it is

Beetrothed is a planning tool. It gives you one connected plan — your comb — that you, the people you invite, and the businesses you engage can each work from, each seeing only their own slice of it. It holds decisions, budgets, timelines, guest counts, and the records of what you and a provider agreed. It can carry payments to providers, and it can answer questions about your own plan.

2.2 What it is not

We are not a party to your agreement with any provider. Planners and vendors on Beetrothed are independent businesses. They are not our employees, agents, partners, or joint venturers, and we do not control them. What they charge, what they deliver, and whether they deliver it are between you and them.

We do not vet, endorse, certify, or rank providers by anything we are paid. What we show you is what providers publish about themselves — profiles, photos, offerings, reviews, and history — ordered by fit with what you asked for. Position in that list has never been purchasable and is not for sale.

No badge, label, or status on Beetrothed is a representation that a provider is licensed, insured, qualified, safe, or suitable for you. Where a label says a provider completed a step — answered a questionnaire, was reviewed by other couples — it means that step happened, at the time it happened, and nothing more. Checking licensing and insurance is yours to do, and the Service gives you a place to record what you checked.

We do not promise outcomes. The Service describes what our tools do and what you can do with them. It does not promise that a provider will perform, that a booking will hold, that a price is the best available, or that your day will go as planned.

3. Your account

3.1 Signing in

You sign in with your email address using a one-time link. There is no password. Anyone who controls your inbox can sign in as you — keep it secure, and tell us promptly at hello@beetrothed.com if you believe someone has access to your account who should not.

3.2 One person, several roles

The same person may hold several roles at once — an owner of their own plan, a collaborator on a friend's, a guest at a third. Each role sees only what that role is entitled to see.

3.3 Accuracy

Keep your account information current. We rely on your email address for sign-in, receipts, and legal notices.

4. Your plan, and who can see it

4.1 Ownership

Your plan is yours. We host it and act on it to provide the Service, and for no other purpose. You can take your information out of it — your guest list as a file, and a shareable brief for any provider — and you can delete the whole plan.

A plan may have more than one owner (typically both partners). Any owner may take owner-level actions, including actions with money consequences. If you are the only owner and you delete your account, the plan and everything in it is deleted with you; if there is another owner, the plan stays with them.

4.2 Collaborators

You may invite unlimited collaborators. A collaborator sees the plan as you have scoped it. Removing a collaborator ends their access immediately.

4.3 Providers

A vendor you engage sees the slice of the plan that their engagement covers, and nothing else. Vendors never receive your guest list. Where a vendor needs headcount, they receive counts and totals — how many are attending, how many are vegetarian — never guest identities.

4.4 Planners

A planner you hire works inside the plan you already built.

• A registered planner — one who holds their own Beetrothed subscription — can be hired by any couple, including on the free tier.
• An off-platform planner can be seated on your plan if you hold a paid couple subscription. A seated planner sees your plan the way you see it, scoped to your wedding, and is bound by Part C by accepting the seat.

Your guest list is not part of either grant. Delegating your plan to a planner delegates the plan, budget, timeline, vendors, registry, and website in one act. Sharing the guest list is a separate decision you make on purpose, and you can revoke it at any time.

4.5 When we open your plan

People who work at Beetrothed can open your plan to answer a support request — to see why a payment was declined, why an invitation did not arrive, or why something on your comb is not behaving.

• Every open is recorded: who opened it, when, and a stated reason. The record cannot be edited or deleted by anyone here.
• Guest details are not part of it. On this path, as on every other, staff see guest counts and totals, never the guest list.
• We do not open plans to browse them, to build advertising profiles, or to show your activity to providers or anyone else.

5. Guest information you enter

This section is the one most likely to matter, because it concerns people who are not our users and never agreed to anything.

5.1 What you are doing when you add a guest

When you add a guest you are giving us another person's information — their name, and depending on what you enter, their contact details, household, dietary needs, and whether they are a child. You confirm that you may share those details with us for the purpose of planning your event.

5.2 What you agree to do

• Use guest information only for your event.
• Handle requests from your own guests about their own details. You can remove any guest from the Guests tab, which deletes their details from your plan immediately.
• Not export, sell, or re-use guest information for anything other than the event it was shared for.

5.3 What we do

We hold guest details for you and show them only to you and to anyone you have deliberately granted the guest list to. We do not send marketing to your guests. If a guest contacts us directly and verifies that the email address is theirs, we will remove their details from your plan and tell you that a guest asked to be removed, without relaying anything else about them.

6. Content you upload, and content you write

6.1 Your content stays yours

You keep ownership of everything you put into the Service — plan contents, files, photos, and text.

6.2 The license you give us

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, reformat, and display your content solely to operate and provide the Service to you and to the people you have shared it with. This license exists so that the Service can function; it ends when you delete the content, subject to backup rotation described in the Privacy Policy. We do not use your content for marketing without asking you first.

6.3 Your promises about it

You represent that you own or are licensed to use everything you upload, and that it does not infringe anyone's rights or break any law.

6.4 Reviews

If you write a review of a provider, it must be your own first-hand experience and honest. Do not write a review in exchange for anything of value, do not review a business you have an interest in, and do not write about a business you did not engage. We may remove a review that breaks these rules or this contract. We do not remove a review because a provider dislikes it.

6A. Our own intellectual property, and your feedback

6A.1 The Service is ours

The Service — the software, the interface, the templates and catalog that drive the planning engine, the name and the marks — belongs to Beetrothed and its licensors. These Terms give you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for planning your own event, and nothing more. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell, or create derivative works from it, or remove any notice on it.

6A.2 Feedback

If you send us an idea, a bug report, or a suggestion, we may use it freely and without owing you anything. You are not obliged to send us anything, and we are not obliged to keep what you send confidential. This does not give us any right to your plan or your content, which are governed by §6.

6A.3 Anonymized and aggregated information

We may create and use aggregated, de-identified information — counts, averages, and patterns that do not identify you, your plan, or your guests — to run and improve the Service and to describe it publicly. We will not attempt to re-identify it, and we will not use your plan to train any model (§11).

6B. Changes to the Service, and beta features

We may change, add, or remove features. Where a change materially reduces something a paid subscription buys, we will tell you before it takes effect and you may cancel and receive a refund of the unused portion of your term.

Some features are marked beta, preview, or early access. Those are provided as-is even by the standards of §14, may change or disappear, and should not be relied on for anything that matters. Where a feature is free during a beta, it may not stay free, and we will say so before it changes.

We may stop offering the Service. If we do, we will give you at least thirty (30) days' notice, a way to take your information out, and a refund of any unused paid term.

7. Acceptable use

You will not:

1. attempt unauthorized access to the Service, another user's plan, or any account;
2. scrape, harvest, or bulk-extract other people's data, including guest data and provider listings;
3. use guest information for anything beyond the event it was shared for;
4. upload unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or harassing content;
5. use the Service to send unsolicited commercial messages;
6. interfere with the Service's operation, probe it for weaknesses, or use it to build a competing dataset;
7. misrepresent who you are, or represent a business you are not authorized to represent;
8. use automated means to access the Service other than a mechanism we publish.

We may suspend or close an account that puts other people's data at risk, and we may do so without notice where the risk is immediate.

8. Copyright, and how to report infringement

We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

8.1 Sending a notice

Send a written notice to our designated agent containing: your signature (physical or electronic); identification of the work you say is infringed; identification of the material you say infringes it and where it is on the Service; your contact details; a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is unauthorized; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Designated agent: DMCA Agent, Beetrothed LLC, 5071 Ball Rd, #4838, Cypress, CA 90630 · hello@beetrothed.com · (323) 325-1836.

Registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, designation DMCA-1078432. These details are the filed designation; if the two ever differ, the filed version governs and this text is corrected to it.

8.2 Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe it was removed in error or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice with the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). We will forward it to the complaining party and may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless they tell us they have filed suit.

8.3 Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

9. Paid subscriptions

9.1 What free means

The planning core is free, permanently: the whole engine, unlimited collaborators, the assistant at its read-only level, and free brief access for every provider you engage. A free couple may hire a registered planner.

9.1A How you pay us

Subscription payments are processed by Stripe. Card details go to Stripe, never to us.

9.2 What a paid couple subscription buys

A paid couple subscription buys native platform access on your plan — the higher levels of the assistant, and the right to seat an off-platform planner. It never buys planner performance, vendor performance, or any outcome of your wedding, and nothing in the Service should be read to say otherwise.

9.3 Auto-renewal, in plain terms

Your subscription renews automatically until you cancel.

• What you pay and how often: the price and billing period shown at checkout — monthly, or annual where offered.
• Annual is offered only when your wedding is more than twelve months away. We know your date, and selling twelve months to someone with a two-month need is not something we will do.
• We charge your payment method automatically at the start of each period at the then-current price until you cancel.
• You can cancel at any time, from inside the Service, in the same number of steps it took to subscribe. Canceling stops the next charge. It does not retroactively refund access you already had.
• We give you affirmative, separate consent to the renewal before we charge you. The price, the billing period, the fact that it renews, and how to stop it are shown together, before payment, and you tick the renewal itself rather than having it bundled into "I agree to the Terms". We send you an acknowledgment afterwards that repeats those terms and the cancellation route.
• We remind you 30 days before any term of a year or longer renews, by email to the address on your account.
• We will not raise your price without your consent. If the price changes, we tell you at least 30 days before it takes effect and we get your agreement to the new amount; if you do not agree, your subscription simply ends at the end of the term you already paid for.
• Canceling is one step, online, in your account settings, on every device the Service runs on, and it works whether you subscribed on the web or anywhere else. There is no phone call, no retention flow you must click through, and no email you must send.

9.4 What happens if a payment fails

• We do not destroy anything. A lapse decays access; it never deletes your plan, your data, or work anyone did on it. Your own tool stays free and fully yours, always.
• Grace period. We retry a failed payment for fourteen (14) days before access changes.
• Near your wedding date, we suspend collection, not access. If your account was in good standing and a payment fails inside the thirty (30) days before your wedding date, we stop trying to collect and leave your access alone. A downgrade three days before a wedding punishes a couple for a billing failure, and we will not do it.
• The same protection applies if your planner's subscription lapses, not only if yours does.

9.5 Refunds on subscriptions

Subscriptions are ours — we are the merchant of record, and the honest answer to any dispute is that you were charged for access you had and you can stop today. Where an annual term is running and the wedding it was for has already happened, we refund the unused whole months, pro rata.

Refunds relating to money you paid a provider are a different thing entirely and are governed by the Cancellation & Refund Policy.

9.6 Taxes

Prices exclude taxes. Where we are required to collect sales or use tax, it is added at checkout.

10. Paying providers

10.1 Payments are between you and the provider

You pay your providers directly — by bank transfer, Zelle, check, card, or whatever method the two of you agree — on whatever schedule your agreement with them sets. No payment to a provider passes through Beetrothed. We do not collect it, hold it, forward it, take any fee on it, or stand behind it, and we are not a party to it.

The provider receives one hundred percent of what you pay them, because there is nothing between you and them to take a share. We never take a percentage of a provider's rate, and we take nothing on the movement of your money either — there is no movement on our side to charge for.

(Version 1.0 of these Terms carried an on-platform payment rail — Stripe Connect charges, a disclosed processing margin, a refund-execution engine. It was retired on 2026-09-04 before it ever carried a live payment; no payment was ever made through it and nobody is governed by those terms. Sections below marked "Reserved" held its machinery, and their numbers are kept so cross-references stay readable.)

10.2 Recording a payment

The Service gives you a place to record the payments you make — the amount, the date, the milestone it settles — so your budget and your payment schedule stay true. A recorded payment is your own entry about your own money: it is not verified by us, it does not move funds, and it appears on the provider's side marked as recorded rather than collected. If a recorded entry is wrong, correcting it is between you and your provider.

Where a provider publishes the payment methods they accept, that is their statement, not ours — we do not verify a Zelle handle, a bank account, or any other detail a provider publishes, and you should confirm payment details with your provider directly before sending money, through a channel you trust.

10.3 [Reserved.]

10.4 Cancellations and refunds

Every priced offering carries the provider's own published cancellation policy, which you see before you accept and which is snapshotted at the moment you accept. That policy is the provider's; refunds under it are between you and the provider and are settled the way you paid — directly. We do not hold funds, we do not execute refunds between you and a provider, and we do not adjudicate. What the Service holds is the record: the policy as you accepted it, the schedule, and the payments you recorded.

Your rights with your own payment method are yours and we do not impair them. A card network's protections, a bank's transfer rules, and Zelle's lack of a protection program all belong to the method you chose — choose it knowing that.

Refunds on our own subscriptions are ours and are governed by the Cancellation & Refund Policy (03-cancellation-and-refund-policy.md) §11, which is incorporated into these Terms.

10.5 [Reserved.]

10.6 [Reserved.]

11. The assistant

The Service includes an assistant that answers questions about your own plan.

• What it reads is described exactly in the Privacy Policy. Your guest list is never included — it reads counting summaries only.
• It is not advice. It is not legal, financial, tax, or insurance advice, and it is not a substitute for a professional. Do not rely on it for anything that matters without checking.
• It can be wrong. Outputs are generated and may be inaccurate or incomplete. You are responsible for decisions you make.
• It will refuse questions that are not about your wedding. This is by design.
• We do not use your plan to train anyone's model.

12. Third-party services

The Service links to and interoperates with third parties — payment processing, maps and places data, email delivery, and others named in the Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for their services or their terms, and using them may mean agreeing to their terms directly.

13. Suspension, termination, and what survives

13.1 By you

You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your account from inside it. Deletion removes your data from the live system immediately; backup copies age out on the rotation described in the Privacy Policy.

13.2 By us

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if your use puts other people's data or the Service at risk, if we are required to by law, or if we stop offering the Service.

13.3 What we will do first

Except where the risk is immediate or the law requires otherwise, we will tell you before we terminate and give you a reasonable chance to take your information out.

13.4 What survives

Sections 5 (guest information), 6.2 (license, to the extent needed for backups), 6A (our intellectual property, feedback, and anonymized information), 9.5 (the unused-annual-term refund), 10 (payments already made), 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 survive termination.

14. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or trade usage. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or that any plan, computation, or output will be accurate.

We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of providers, collaborators, or guests, or for the outcome of your event.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

1. No indirect damages. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, however caused and on any theory of liability.
2. Cap. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) five hundred dollars ($500).
3. Money paid to providers is not ours. Amounts you paid to a provider — directly, as every payment to a provider is made — are not amounts paid to us, and are not counted in the cap.
4. What is never limited. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or willful injury to the person or property of another, or for any violation of law, whether willful or negligent — such a limitation is void under California Civil Code § 1668 and is not attempted here. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or any liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

These limits apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose, and they reflect the allocation of risk that makes a free planning core possible.

15A. Disputes between you and a provider, and what you release

Your agreement with a provider is between you and them. If a dispute arises out of a provider's work, their conduct, their pricing, their cancellation, or anything they did or failed to do, you release Beetrothed and its members, officers, employees and agents from claims, demands, damages and losses of every kind arising out of or connected with that dispute.

This release does not touch:

• anything we ourselves did or failed to do, including the records the Service kept under Section 10;
• any liability that cannot be released under the law that applies to you;
• your rights with your card network; or
• your rights under Section 19, if you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code § 1542, which says a general release does not extend to claims the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of the release and which, if known, would have materially affected the settlement. You waive it only as to the disputes described above, and only to the extent the law permits.

16. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Beetrothed and its members, officers, and employees from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of: your content; your use of the Service; guest information you entered and how you used it; your breach of these Terms; or your dealings with any provider.

17. Dispute resolution

17.1 Talk to us first

Before starting a formal proceeding, send a written description of the dispute and the relief you want to hello@beetrothed.com. We will do the same for you. The parties will try in good faith to resolve it for 30 days before either starts arbitration.

17.2 Binding arbitration

Except as stated in 17.3 and 17.5, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and, where applicable, its Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, which the parties expressly adopt, before one arbitrator, seated in Orange County, California or, at your election, in your home county or by remote hearing. We pay the arbitration filing and administrative fees for any claim under $10,000.

You and Beetrothed are giving up the right to sue in court and the right to a jury trial. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.

17.3 Small claims

Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court instead.

17.4 Class action waiver

Disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity. Neither party may bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court and the rest of this section still applies.

17.5 Opting out

You may opt out of Section 17.2 and 17.4 by emailing hello@beetrothed.com with your name and the words "arbitration opt-out" within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out costs you nothing and affects nothing else.

17.6 This section does not apply in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland

If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Section 17 does not apply to you. You may bring a claim in the courts of the country where you live, and we will bring any claim against you there. Nothing in these Terms limits a right you have under the mandatory consumer law of your own country, or your right to complain to a supervisory authority.

18. General

Governing law. California law governs these Terms, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Where Section 17 does not apply, the state and federal courts in Orange County, California have exclusive jurisdiction, and both parties consent to that venue.

Changes. We may update these Terms. For a material change we will give notice — in the Service or by email — before it takes effect, and continuing to use the Service after that is acceptance. If you do not accept, stop using the Service and, where you have paid, tell us and we will refund the unused portion.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for a delay or failure caused by something outside its reasonable control.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force.

No waiver. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.

Entire agreement. These Terms, the Cancellation & Refund Policy, and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us about the Service and replace any earlier understanding.

Notices. We give notice by email to the address on your account or by posting in the Service. Give us legal notice at hello@beetrothed.com and at Beetrothed LLC, 2108 N St, STE N, Sacramento, CA 95816. A notice sent by email is deemed received the next business day; a notice sent by mail is deemed received five business days after posting.

Order of precedence. Where these Terms conflict with the Cancellation & Refund Policy about a cancellation or refund, the policy governs. Where they conflict with the Privacy Policy about how personal information is handled, the Privacy Policy governs. Otherwise these Terms govern.

Contact. hello@beetrothed.com.

19. If you are in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland

This Section adds to your rights and takes none away. Where it conflicts with anything else in these Terms, this Section wins.

• Your data protection rights — access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — are set out in the Privacy Policy, which also names the lawful basis for each thing we do, how long we keep it, where it goes, and how to complain to your supervisory authority. Exercising any of them is free and costs you nothing else here.
• Our representative. We have designated representatives in the Union and in the United Kingdom under Article 27 of the GDPR and UK GDPR. Their names and addresses are in the Privacy Policy, and you may contact them instead of us about anything to do with your personal data.
• Statutory guarantees. Nothing in Section 14 (disclaimers) or Section 15 (limitation of liability) limits or excludes any liability that the law of your country does not allow to be limited, including our liability under mandatory consumer-protection law. Where a limit in those Sections is not permitted where you live, the law where you live governs.
• Withdrawal from a paid plan. Where you have a statutory right to withdraw from a distance contract, that right applies in full and is not reduced by Section 9 or by the Cancellation & Refund Policy. Where the two differ, you get whichever is better for you.
• Automated decisions. We do not make decisions about you that produce legal effects, or similarly significant effects, by automated means alone. The assistant drafts and suggests; a person decides.
• Dispute resolution. See §17.6: arbitration does not apply to you.

Part B — Vendors and other providers

1. This agreement

1.1 Parties

This Part B (the "Agreement") is between Beetrothed LLC, a California limited liability company ("Beetrothed"), and the wedding business accepting it ("Provider", "you").

1.2 Who it covers

This Agreement covers non-planning wedding vendors — photography, catering, venue, floral, music, attire, beauty, transport, stationery, rentals, officiancy, and every other trade. Wedding planners are covered by Part C, which controls for a planner even where this Part would also fit.

1.3 Acceptance and authority

You accept by creating a provider account or by using the provider features. You represent that you are authorized to bind the business you register, that the business is validly formed where it operates, and that the information you give us is accurate.

1.4 Electronic agreement

You consent to contract electronically. Your acceptance is your signature under the E-SIGN Act. Where the Service records your acceptance of something specific, it stores a snapshot of what you were shown; that snapshot is the record.

1.5 Order of precedence

Where they conflict, this order governs: (1) the Cancellation & Refund Policy; (2) the Data Processing Addendum, as to the processing of personal information; (3) this Agreement; (4) the Privacy Policy.

(Version 1.0 added that Provider's relationship with Stripe was a separate agreement; with the rail retired there is no Stripe relationship for a provider to have through us.)

2. What Beetrothed provides, and what it costs

2.1 It is free

Beetrothed is free to you, permanently, in all of it: registration, your profile, your photos, your offerings, your calendar and blackouts, your packages, your whole team, your reviews, your preferred-vendor lists, and every brief a couple sends you. There is nothing here for you to buy.

2.2 Briefs, not leads

Where a couple engages you, you receive a live scoped brief of their plan — what they have decided, what they need from you, and the numbers that matter to your trade. This access is free and stays free.

2.3 What you can write

You may write your own content on the cells your engagement covers — menu line items, quotes, availability, package contents. You may not write the couple's own answers. What you propose to a couple is a proposal, and only they accept it.

2.4 Where a package may reach

A package you offer is bound to the coverage of your own engagement. Bundling services across a whole wedding is a planner function and is not available on a vendor account.

3. You are an independent business

You are an independent contractor to your clients and nothing else. This Agreement creates no employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship with Beetrothed. You set your own prices, choose your own clients, control your own work, and hold your own insurance, licenses, and permits.

You are the seller. The contract for your services is between you and the couple. We are not a party to it, we do not guarantee it, and we do not perform it.

3.1 Your licenses and insurance

You represent that you hold, and will maintain for as long as you use the Service, every license, permit, registration and insurance policy that your trade and your jurisdiction require — including, where your trade customarily carries it, commercial general liability cover of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and any liquor, food-handling, vehicle or venue cover your services require.

We do not verify any of this, we do not hold certificates, and we make no representation to couples that we have. Your listing may not say or imply that we did. If a representation in this section stops being true, tell us promptly.

3.2 No exclusivity, and no circumvention clause

Nothing here is exclusive. You may take payment outside Beetrothed, and doing so is not a breach of this Agreement. We do not police where your money moves; we compete for it on convenience and records. Payments taken outside Beetrothed are outside every protection, record, and refund mechanism in this Agreement, and the Service shows a couple numerically how much of a booking is covered here and how much is not.

4. We never take a cut of your rate — or anything else

Beetrothed never takes a percentage of your service rate, and never takes a fee on a client's payment to you. Your clients pay you directly, by whatever method you and they agree; nothing passes through us and there is nothing on our side to charge for. What the Service holds is the record — the agreement, the schedule, and the payments your client records.

You may publish, on your profile, the payment methods you accept — a Zelle handle, bank-transfer details, "checks accepted". What you publish is your statement, made to your client; keep it accurate, and confirm details with your client through a channel you both trust before money moves.

We do not sell placement. What a couple sees is ordered by fit with what they asked for. No position on that list has ever been purchasable, and it is not for sale.

(Version 1.0 of this Part carried an on-platform payment rail with a processing margin borne by the couple. It was retired on 2026-09-04 before any provider connected to it. Articles 8, 10 and 11 below held its machinery; their numbers are kept, marked "Reserved", so cross-references stay readable.)

5. Your content

5.1 Ownership and license

You keep ownership of your profile, photos, offerings, and other content. You grant Beetrothed a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, reformat, and display that content in the Service to present your business to couples and operate the Service. The license ends when you remove the content, subject to backup rotation.

Marketing use is separate and we will ask. We will not use your photos or name in advertising without your permission.

5.2 Your promises about it

You own or are licensed to use everything you upload, including every photograph of a wedding you did not personally shoot, and you have any consent needed from the people shown in it. Your content is accurate and not misleading.

5.3 What your listing may not claim

You may not describe your business or your services in a way that is false or misleading, and you may not claim any endorsement, verification, vetting, or guarantee by Beetrothed. We make no such claims and you may not make them on our behalf.

5.4 Reviews

Reviews of your business are written by couples. We do not remove a review because you dislike it. We remove reviews that break our content rules, and we give you the ability to respond.

6. Couple data, and what you may do with it

6.1 Scope

You see only the slice of a plan that your engagement covers. You never receive the couple's guest list. Where your work needs headcount, you receive counts and totals — attending, dietary, seated — never guest identities.

6.2 Purpose limitation

You may use what you see only to quote, plan, and deliver your services to that couple. You may not export it, sell it, share it, add couples to a marketing list, or use it to build any dataset. You may keep the records your own business and tax obligations require.

6.3 Confidentiality

Everything you see about a couple's plan is confidential. Protect it at least as carefully as your own confidential information, and do not disclose it except to your own team members who need it and are bound to the same standard.

6.4 On ending

When an engagement ends, stop using the couple's information except as §6.2 permits, and delete it on request unless you are required to keep it.

7. Acceptable use

You will not: attempt unauthorized access; scrape or bulk-extract couple, guest, or provider data; send unsolicited commercial messages through or because of the Service; misrepresent your identity, affiliation, or authority; upload unlawful or infringing content; or interfere with the Service.

We may suspend an account that puts other people's data at risk, without notice where the risk is immediate.

Copyright. The copyright policy in Part A §8 — including the designated agent, the takedown and counter-notice process, and the closure of repeat infringers' accounts in appropriate circumstances — applies to everything you upload.

8. Payments

8.1 Your clients pay you directly

Payment for your services moves directly between you and your client, by the method the two of you agree, on the schedule your own agreement sets. We are not a party to it, we take no fee on it, we do not collect, hold, forward or stand behind it, and a client's payment obligation to you is discharged by paying you, never by paying us.

A client may record a payment in the Service — their own entry about their own money. A recorded payment appears on your statement marked as recorded rather than collected: it is the client's assertion, not our verification, and a recorded entry you dispute is a conversation with your client, not a claim against us.

8.1A [Reserved.]

8.2 [Reserved.]

8.3 [Reserved.]

8.4 Taxes

You are responsible for every tax on your services and your income. We do not give tax advice, and because no payment passes through us, we file nothing about your revenue.

9. Your published cancellation policy

9.1 It is required

Every priced offering and package you publish must carry a structured cancellation policy: ordered tiers stating what percentage of your rate is refundable by days before the agreed date. The Service will not let you publish a priced offering without one.

9.2 A priced booking needs a date

A priced booking with a deposit requires an event date on the offer. The tier clock has to have something to count from.

9.3 The couple sees it, and acceptance snapshots it

Your policy is rendered to the couple before they accept, and acceptance records a snapshot of exactly what they were shown. The snapshot governs that booking for its life, even if you later change your published policy.

9.4 What you may and may not publish

You may publish any tier schedule you like for couple-initiated cancellations, including 0% refundable, because the couple sees it before accepting.

What you publish is a promise you make to your client. The Service renders it and snapshots it; honoring it is yours to do, and settling under it happens the way your client paid — directly. No term of this Agreement is intended to benefit or be enforceable by anyone who is not a party to it.

9.5 Compliance-with-law override

Where a statute gives a client a cancellation or refund right that exceeds what Provider published, the statute governs and the Service executes to it. A published policy sets a floor a vendor chose; it never displaces a right the law grants.

10. [Reserved.]

Version 1.0's Article 10 was the standing refund authorization — the terms under which Beetrothed executed Provider's published cancellation policy on payments made through the retired rail, including the vendor-initiated floor, the no-fault treatment, the fee rule, and the shortfall-recovery stack. No payment was ever made through the rail and no execution ever ran. Refunds between Provider and a client are settled directly between them (§8.1); the Article's number and subsection numbers (10.1–10.8) are kept so cross-references in earlier versions stay readable.

11. [Reserved.]

Version 1.0's Article 11 carried the initiator and timing rules that fed Article 10's computations. Nothing computes on them now. The performance check-in and the administrative-closure rule survive as Service features — recorded requests and recorded facts — described in product documentation rather than as contract machinery.

12. Disputes with clients

A dispute with your client is yours — the money, the claim, and the resolution. We will give you the records the Service holds, promptly and in full, and we will give the client the same records. We do not respond on your behalf, we do not decide it, and we hold no funds of either side.

Your client's rights with their own payment method — a card network's chargeback rules, a bank's transfer rules — are theirs, run against the rails they actually paid on, and neither of us impairs them.

13. Liability

13.1 Disclaimer

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, Beetrothed disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

13.2 No indirect damages

Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, bookings, data, or goodwill.

13.3 Cap

Beetrothed's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement will not exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500). (Version 1.0 offered the greater of this figure and three times the processing margin earned on Provider's transactions; the rail is retired, no margin is earned on anyone, and the flat figure is what remains.)

Amounts a client paid Provider are not amounts paid to Beetrothed and are not counted toward the cap.

Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or willful injury to the person or property of another, or for any violation of law, whether willful or negligent — such a limitation is void under California Civil Code § 1668 and is not attempted here. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or any liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

These limits apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

13.4 [Reserved.]

Version 1.0's §13.4 characterized refund execution on the retired rail as performance of Provider's own instruction. No execution ever ran and none can; the clause is retired with the rail.

13.5 Set-off and recovery

Where Provider owes Beetrothed an amount under this Agreement, Beetrothed may set that amount off against any amount otherwise payable to Provider, or invoice it, at Beetrothed's election. Beetrothed will give Provider written notice identifying the amount and its basis before exercising set-off, and set-off is available only for amounts that are undisputed or finally determined. Set-off is a right and not a remedy for breach, and it does not limit any other remedy. (With the Service free to providers and no payments passing through the platform, amounts owed under this Agreement arise only from indemnity or a judgment — the clause is kept for those.)

13.6 Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Beetrothed from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of: your services; your content; your representations about licenses and insurance; your handling of couple or guest information; a dispute between you and a client; a tax obligation of yours; or your breach of this Agreement.

We will defend, indemnify, and hold you harmless from a claim that the Service itself, as we provide it, infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.

13.7 How an indemnity works

The party seeking indemnity will: (a) notify the other promptly in writing once it knows of the claim, and in any event soon enough that the other is not prejudiced by the delay; (b) give the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement, except that no settlement admitting fault or imposing a non-monetary obligation on the indemnified party may be made without that party's consent, not unreasonably withheld; and (c) cooperate reasonably, at the indemnifying party's expense. The indemnified party may participate with its own counsel at its own cost. A failure to give prompt notice reduces the indemnity only to the extent of the prejudice it caused.

14. Term, suspension, and ending

14.1 Term

This Agreement runs from acceptance until either party ends it.

14.2 You may leave at any time

You may close your provider account at any time. Live bookings survive your departure: Articles 9 and 12 continue to apply to every booking accepted before you left, until it is performed, canceled, or administratively closed.

14.3 We may suspend or end it

We may suspend or terminate for breach, for risk to other users' data, where the law requires it, or if we stop offering the Service. Except where the risk is immediate, we will tell you first and give you a reasonable chance to export your content.

14.4 What you keep

Your authored work stays yours. Losing access does not delete the content you wrote, and your own templates and assets leave with you. Content you contributed to a couple's plan stays on the couple's plan, because the plan is the couple's.

14.5 Survival

Articles 4 (no cut, no placement sale), 5.2, 6, 8.4, 9.3, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15 survive.

15. General

Dispute resolution. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute informally for 30 days after written notice. Thereafter, disputes are resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, and, where applicable, its Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, which the parties expressly adopt, seated in Orange County, California, before one arbitrator. Each party waives any right to participate in a class or representative proceeding. If that waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court and the rest of this section still applies. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and either may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

Governing law and venue. California law governs, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Where arbitration does not apply, the state and federal courts in Orange County, California have exclusive jurisdiction.

Changes. We may update this Agreement. For a material change we will give at least 30 days' notice by email and in the Service. Continuing to use the provider features after the effective date is acceptance; if you do not accept, close your account, and Articles 9–12 continue for bookings already accepted.

Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement without our consent. We may assign it to an affiliate or in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for a delay or failure caused by something outside its reasonable control. This does not excuse a payment obligation.

Severability, no waiver, entire agreement. If a provision is unenforceable it is modified to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stands. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver. This Agreement, with the Cancellation & Refund Policy, the Data Processing Addendum, and the Privacy Policy, is the entire agreement about its subject.

Notices. By email to the address on your account, and to us at hello@beetrothed.com and Beetrothed LLC, 2108 N St, STE N, Sacramento, CA 95816. A notice sent by email is deemed received the next business day; a notice sent by mail is deemed received five business days after posting.

Part C — Planners

1. This agreement

1.1 Parties and scope

This Part C (the "Terms") is between Beetrothed LLC, a California limited liability company ("Beetrothed"), and the wedding planning professional or business accepting it ("Planner", "you").

They apply to you in whichever of these states you are in:

These Terms control over Part B wherever both could apply. Where you also take payment through the Service for your own planning fees, the payment, cancellation, and refund Articles of Part B (Articles 8–12) apply to those payments and are incorporated here by reference.

1.2 Acceptance

You accept by subscribing, by using the planner features, or — if you are a seated planner — by using the sign-in link the couple sent you. You represent that you are authorized to bind the business you register.

1.3 Electronic agreement

You consent to contract electronically. Your acceptance is your signature under the E-SIGN Act.

2. What a planner account is

2.1 There is no free planner workspace

The subscription is the account. A planner works either on a subscription or as a seated planner on a specific couple's plan.

2.2 What the subscription includes

• The planner workspace across your whole book of business.
• Plan-wide engagements, and therefore whole-wedding packages — a scope no vendor account has.
• Plans you create and own outright, including for couples who have not joined yet.
• Saved combs, saved packages, your preferred-vendor bench, unlimited team seats.
• The assistant at its planner level, including memory across your own weddings.

2.3 The active-plan allowance

Your subscription includes a stated number of live active plans, with optional top-up packs, and a ceiling past which continuing is a conversation rather than a checkout. Current numbers are published on the pricing page and shown at checkout.

"Active" means a plan whose wedding date is in the future or unset, and which is not archived. It counts plans you hold by engagement and plans you own outright.

2.4 The allowance ratchets down, never up

Where a couple on your plan holds their own paid subscription, that plan consumes a reduced share of your allowance.

If that couple later downgrades, lapses, or has their access decay, it costs you nothing. The share already released stays released. We will not create a reason for you to pressure a client about their subscription, and this rule is what prevents it.

2.5 Planner+

Planner+ covers an umbrella organization over several planner businesses, with memory shared across them, unlimited seats, and billing metered on active weddings against a rate card agreed in advance. Bands are marginal — each band's rate applies only to the weddings inside it.

3. Plans you own, and couples who have not joined

3.1 You may create a plan before a couple exists

You may create and own a plan for a client who has no Beetrothed account. On such a plan you are the owner, and you hold the same authority a couple would.

3.2 What you owe your client on such a plan

The plan holds your client's information, and often their guests'. You are responsible for having the right to put it there and for how it is used. Your own agreement with your client governs your relationship with them; we are not a party to it.

3.3 Handing a plan to the couple

You may transfer ownership of a plan to the couple it is about. Once you do, the plan is theirs — Article 4 applies to you from that moment, and your access is the access they grant.

4. Working on a couple's plan

4.1 What you see

A planner working on a couple's plan sees the plan as the couple sees it, scoped to that wedding. There is no separate reduced console. What you can change is what the couple has delegated.

4.2 What the couple delegates in one act

Accepting a planner invitation delegates the plan, budget, timeline, vendors, registry, and website. That is the job, and bundling it is deliberate.

4.3 The guest list is not in that act

The guest list and seating are a separate grant, made deliberately by the couple at the moment it is needed, and revocable at any time.

Roughly 120 people who are not in the room get one decision made about them on purpose, rather than as a side effect of hiring somebody.

4.4 What you may do with the guest list once granted

You may use it only to do the planning work for that wedding. You may not export it, retain it after the engagement ends, add anyone on it to any list, or use it for any other client. On revocation or at the end of the engagement, you will delete every copy you hold outside the Service.

4.5 Cancellation acts

Actions that would trigger a retention or a refund on a booked engagement — a date move, a cancellation — require an owner's confirmation when a planner initiates them. You can propose them; the couple answers.

5. The seated planner

This Article applies where you have no Beetrothed account and a couple seated you on their plan.

5.1 You are bound by these Terms

Using the sign-in link the couple sent you is your acceptance of these Terms. The link is personal to you. Do not share it, and tell us if it reaches anyone else.

5.2 What you get, and what you do not

You see that one wedding, as the couple sees it. You have no book of business, no saved combs, no saved packages, no assistant of your own, and no plans you own. If several couples have seated you, you can move between those weddings and nothing else.

5.3 The guest list

Article 4.3 and 4.4 apply to you in full, and they are the reason this Article exists. You are an outside professional who did not sign a vendor agreement, and a guest list is roughly 120 people's details. You get it only if the couple deliberately grants it, only for that wedding, and you delete every external copy when the engagement ends or the grant is revoked.

A guest-list grant to you takes effect only after you have accepted these Terms — which incorporate the Data Processing Addendum (§6) — by using your sign-in link. There is no route to the guest list that does not pass through that acceptance.

When the grant is revoked or the engagement ends, you will delete every copy you hold outside the Service, and you will confirm in writing that you have done so if we or the couple ask. We may ask once per engagement and no more than once a year afterwards. Failing to confirm within fourteen (14) days of a request is a breach of these Terms and grounds for suspension.

5.4 What you owe the couple

You will treat everything you see as confidential, use it only for that wedding, and not export it. Your professional relationship with the couple is your own agreement with them; we are not a party to it and we do not vouch for you to them.

5.5 If you register

You may take a Planner subscription at any time. Your seat converts in place and your work comes with you.

6. Data protection

The Data Processing Addendum (04-data-processing-addendum.md) is incorporated into these Terms and governs personal information you process in the Service about your clients and their guests.

7. Payments and your own fees

Your clients pay you directly — your planning fee never passes through Beetrothed, we take no percentage of your rate and no fee on any payment to you, and your client's payment obligation is discharged by paying you. Part B Articles 8, 9 and 12 apply to you as they do to any provider — in those Articles, "Provider" means you. What the Service holds is the record: the agreement, the schedule, and the payments your client records.

8. Subscription, billing, and lapse

8.1 Auto-renewal

Your subscription renews automatically until you cancel. The terms and the protections are the same ones the Terms of Service give a couple (Part A §9.3), and they are restated here rather than cross-referenced because a planner should not have to read the consumer document to find out how their own billing works:

• Price, billing period, the fact that it renews, and how to stop it are shown together before you pay, you consent to the renewal itself rather than having it bundled into acceptance of these Terms, and we send an acknowledgment afterwards repeating those terms and the cancellation route.
• We charge automatically at the start of each period at the then-current price.
• We remind you 30 days before any term of a year or longer renews.
• We will not raise your price without your consent. We tell you at least 30 days before a change takes effect and ask you to agree; if you do not, the subscription simply ends at the end of the term you already paid for.
• Canceling is one step, online, in your account settings. No phone call, no retention flow, no email to send. Canceling stops the next charge and does not retroactively refund access you already had.

Planner+ is invoiced monthly on measured usage against your rate card.

8.2 Failure, grace, and near-date amnesty

• We retry a failed payment for fourteen (14) days before access changes.
• Where a wedding on your book is within thirty (30) days of its date and your account was in good standing, we suspend collection rather than access. A billing failure three weeks before a wedding should not cost a couple their planner.

8.3 What a lapse does — and does not do

Nothing is deleted. A lapse decays access; it never destroys work.

• Affected plans fall back to read/brief-level access.
• Work you authored survives. Decisions and timeline you advanced stay on the couple's plan, because the plan is the couple's asset.
• Your own templates, saved combs, packages, and bench stay yours and leave with you.

8.4 What a lapse does to your couples — disclosed

If your subscription lapses, every couple on your book is affected at once, and none of them did anything. Their own tool stays free and fully theirs, and their plans are never deleted, but the access your subscription funded stops. We disclose this here because it is a consequence of your billing that lands on other people.

8.5 Refunds on your subscription

We are the merchant of record for your subscription. The honest answer to a dispute is that you were charged for access you had and you can stop today. Where an annual term is running and you cancel, the term runs to its end and is not refunded pro rata, and no further term is charged.

9. Acceptable use, and the boundary on the assistant

You will not: attempt unauthorized access; scrape or bulk-extract couple, guest, vendor, or planner data; use a client's information for any other client; register as a vendor to obtain a scope this account does not have; upload or publish content that is unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or harassing; or interfere with the Service.

The assistant's memory across your weddings is scoped to your own organization. It never reaches another planner's book, and it is never used to train anyone's model.

10. Term, suspension, and ending

You may cancel or close at any time. We may suspend or terminate for breach, for risk to other people's data, where the law requires it, or if we stop offering the Service. Except where the risk is immediate we will tell you first and give you a reasonable chance to export.

Live weddings survive. Where you leave with weddings on your book, the couples keep their plans and everything you authored on them, and any booking already accepted continues to be governed by Article 7 until it is performed, canceled, or administratively closed.

Survival. Articles 4.4 (guest-list use and deletion), 5.4 (confidentiality), 6 (data protection), 7 (payments, for bookings already accepted), 9, 11 (liability and indemnity), and 12 (general, including dispute resolution) survive termination or expiry of these Terms, however caused.

11. Liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", and to the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all implied warranties — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement — and do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, bookings, or goodwill.

Beetrothed's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500). Money a couple paid you directly is not an amount paid to us and is not counted toward the cap.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or willful injury to the person or property of another, or for any violation of law, whether willful or negligent — such a limitation is void under California Civil Code § 1668 and is not attempted here. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or any liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

These limits apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Refund execution: the limitation in Part B §13.4 applies here in full.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Beetrothed from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your planning services, your content, your handling of client or guest information, a dispute with a client, or your breach of these Terms. The procedure in Part B §13.7 — prompt notice, control of the defense, and no settlement that admits our fault without our consent — applies to this indemnity.

12. General

Dispute resolution, governing law, and venue are as stated in Vendor Agreement §15 and apply here in full: informal resolution first, then binding individual arbitration seated in Orange County, California, with a class-action waiver and a small-claims carve-out; California law governs.

No agency. These Terms create no employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship between you and Beetrothed. You are an independent business, and nothing here gives either of us authority to act for the other.

Changes. We may update these Terms with at least 30 days' notice for a material change. Continuing to use the planner features after the effective date is acceptance.

Assignment, force majeure, severability, no waiver, entire agreement, and notices are as stated in Part B §15.
