Yours in Weddings members ("Members") include prospective brides and grooms, newlyweds and their Wedding guests (collectively, Wedding Members"), and companies and other third parties offering products and services related to Wedding Suppliers ("Supplier Members"). We and the Site function solely as a neutral venue and digital clearinghouse where Wedding Members and Wedding Suppliers may connect for a particular type of service or product. We are not involved in or a party to the actual transaction between Members.

In addition, We cannot guarantee that information provided by or about Wedding Suppliers on the Site is accurate. You should use Yours in Weddings as a starting point for identifying vendors/suppliers to provide the products and services you need for your wedding, then conduct your research to ensure that vendors you choose to do business with are appropriate for you. You acknowledge that participation in particular programs, when and if available, may under certain circumstances result in Wedding Suppliers receiving contact information for you under the terms and conditions governing these programs.

We are in no way responsible for assisting you in reaching an agreement with Wedding Members, nor are We responsible for assisting you in providing goods and services to Wedding Members.

Any transaction you enter into with a Wedding Members is strictly between you and the Wedding Member, and Yours in Weddings is not a party to that transaction. Any dispute you have with a Wedding Members is between you and the Wedding Members, and We will not be a party to that dispute. Vendor Members must list the proper and correct name of their business on the Site, and if there is a change to that business name, the Vendor Member must promptly update Yours in Weddings and may need to provide additional documentation for proof of name change.
