Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Wedding Wonders. These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms," "Agreement," or "T&Cs") form a legally binding contract between you (the "user," "customer," "you," or "your") and Wedding Wonders ("Wedding Wonders," "we," "us," or "our") and govern your access to and use of theweddingwonders.com, any subdomains, any mobile or progressive web application, any related APIs, social media storefronts, email and SMS communications, and any related websites, services, content, and applications we offer (collectively, the "Site" or "Services"). These Terms also govern any purchase, return, exchange, gift card, subscription, loyalty program, sweepstakes, contest, or other transaction conducted through the Site. By accessing or using the Site, browsing pages, creating an account, placing an order, signing up for email or SMS communications, or otherwise interacting with us, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to every provision of these Terms, you may not access or use the Site, and you must immediately discontinue all use.

1. Eligibility and Authority

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (whichever is greater), to use the Site, create an account, or place an order. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that: (a) you meet the eligibility requirements; (b) you have the full legal right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and to be bound by these Terms; (c) all information you provide is true, accurate, current, and complete; (d) you will keep your information up to date; (e) you are not barred from receiving the Services under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction (including the United States, the European Union, or the United Kingdom); and (f) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. If you are using the Site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Accounts and Security

You may need to create an account to access certain features. You are solely responsible for: (a) maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including any password, one-time code, recovery code, or token; (b) restricting access to your devices and accounts; (c) all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you; and (d) promptly notifying us of any actual or suspected unauthorized access or other security breach. We are not liable for any loss, damage, theft, fraud, or other harm arising from your failure to comply with this section, including any unauthorized purchases made through your account. We may, at our sole discretion, suspend, restrict, or terminate your account or refuse you the use of all or part of the Site at any time, with or without notice and with or without cause, including if we suspect a violation of these Terms, fraudulent activity, abusive behavior, chargeback abuse, or any conduct we believe may expose us to risk or liability.

3. Orders, Acceptance, and Cancellation

All orders placed through the Site constitute offers to purchase products from us, subject to acceptance by us. No contract of sale is formed and no obligation on our part arises until we have expressly accepted your order by sending a shipment or order confirmation email actually identifying the items shipped. An automatic order acknowledgement, the charging of your payment method, or any reservation of inventory is not an acceptance. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without liability to you, to: (a) accept, limit, refuse, suspend, cancel, or terminate any order, in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason; (b) limit purchase quantities per person, per household, per order, or per payment method; (c) reject orders that appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors; (d) reject orders containing pricing, inventory, description, image, or other errors; (e) reject orders we suspect are fraudulent, unauthorized, or non-bona fide; (f) require additional verification or information before accepting any order; and (g) modify or cancel any order, even after a confirmation has been sent, including after charge. If we cancel an order after you have been charged, our sole obligation and your sole remedy is to refund the amount actually charged to your original payment method. We are not responsible for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from any cancellation, delay, or refusal of an order.

4. Pricing, Availability, and Errors

All prices are listed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated and exclude applicable taxes, duties, tariffs, customs fees, VAT/GST, and shipping and handling charges unless otherwise stated. Prices, product availability, descriptions, images, specifications, weights, and lead times are subject to change without notice. Despite our reasonable efforts, the Site may occasionally contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions regarding price, description, photography, color, availability, or other product details. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to correct any such errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change, update, or cancel orders at any time without prior notice (including after an order has been submitted or confirmed and after your payment method has been charged), and to refund any charges made in connection therewith. We undertake no obligation to update, amend, or clarify information on the Site except as required by law. Where required by consumer protection law (for example in the EU), an obvious pricing error that a reasonable customer should have recognized as an error does not bind us.

5. Payment, Taxes, and Chargebacks

By submitting a payment method, you authorize us, our payment processors (which may include Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal, and others), and any related entities to charge the applicable amount (including products, taxes, duties, shipping, handling, and any other charges) to your selected payment method, and to re-attempt charges that are declined or fail. You represent and warrant that you are the authorized holder of the payment method and that the billing information you provide is accurate. If your payment method is declined, expired, insufficient, reversed, or otherwise fails, we may cancel, hold, or refuse to ship your order without liability, and you remain liable for all amounts owed. Payment processing is handled by independent processors, and we are not responsible for their acts, omissions, fees, or terms.

You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, customs fees, brokerage fees, tariffs, and similar charges associated with your order, including charges assessed at delivery on international shipments. You agree not to initiate any chargeback dispute with your card issuer or bank for any reason without first contacting us in good faith and providing us a reasonable opportunity (no less than fifteen (15) days) to resolve the issue. Initiating a fraudulent, abusive, or unjustified chargeback (including a "friendly fraud" chargeback for an order you actually received) is a material breach of these Terms and entitles us, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity, to recover the full disputed amount plus reasonable costs, attorneys' fees, processor fees, and a USD 35.00 administrative fee per chargeback.

6. Shipping, Delivery, and Risk of Loss

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process and ship orders promptly. All shipping windows, processing times, transit times, and delivery dates communicated on the Site, in emails, or by customer support are good-faith estimates only and are not guaranteed. Title and risk of loss for all products pass to you upon our delivery of the products to the carrier at our shipping facility. From that point forward, you bear all risk of loss, damage, theft, delay, mis-delivery, lost or stolen packages, and all other risk associated with the shipment, including any acts or omissions of the carrier, postal service, freight forwarder, customs authority, or any other intermediary. We are not liable for delays or failures to deliver caused by carriers, customs, weather, natural disasters, labor disruptions, supply chain issues, public health emergencies, government action, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, internet or utility outages, or any other circumstance outside our reasonable control.

You are solely responsible for providing accurate and complete shipping information. We are not responsible for orders shipped to incorrect, incomplete, undeliverable, or outdated addresses that you provided, and such orders are not eligible for refund or replacement. If a package is returned to us as undeliverable, refused, or unclaimed, you may be responsible for additional shipping charges to redirect or reship the order, or for a restocking fee if you cancel. For international shipments, you are the importer of record and are responsible for compliance with all import laws and for paying any applicable duties, taxes, and fees.

7. Returns, Refunds, Exchanges, and Damaged Items

Eligible items may be returned within thirty (30) days of delivery, in their original, unused, unworn, unaltered, and unwashed condition, with all original tags, packaging, and accessories, and accompanied by proof of purchase. The following items are not eligible for return, exchange, or refund, except where required by mandatory consumer protection law: personalized, monogrammed, engraved, customized, made-to-order, or bespoke items; final sale, clearance, or "as-is" items; intimate apparel, undergarments, and swimwear once removed from sealed packaging; perishable goods (including cake toppers and fresh florals); items that have been used, worn, altered, or damaged after delivery; gift cards; downloadable or digital products; and any items not in resaleable condition.

Refunds, when issued, are made to the original payment method within fourteen (14) days of our receipt and inspection of the returned items. Shipping, handling, and any third-party fees are non-refundable, and return shipping is at the customer's expense unless the return is the direct result of our verified error or a manufacturing defect documented at the time of delivery. We may, at our sole discretion, offer store credit in lieu of a refund and may deduct restocking fees of up to twenty percent (20%) for items not in original condition or returned outside of standard packaging. To initiate a return, you must contact us using the details in Section 25 and obtain a return authorization number; returns sent without prior authorization may be refused or discarded.

For items received damaged, defective, or incorrect, you must notify us within seven (7) days of delivery with photographs and order details. Failure to notify us within this period waives any claim for damage or shortage. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable warranty, refund, or return right you may have under applicable consumer protection law (including in the EU, UK, Australia, and certain U.S. states).

8. Promotions, Discount Codes, and Gift Cards

Promotional codes, discount codes, coupons, and special offers are subject to the specific terms disclosed at the time of the promotion. Unless expressly stated otherwise: codes cannot be combined or stacked; codes cannot be applied retroactively to past or in-flight orders; codes are not redeemable for cash and have no cash value; codes are limited to one per customer per order; codes are non-transferable; codes may not be used on already-discounted items; codes may not be used to purchase gift cards; and we may modify, suspend, or withdraw any code at any time without notice. We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or reverse any order that we believe uses a code in a manner that violates its terms, the spirit of the promotion, or these Terms, including bulk or fraudulent use. Gift cards are not redeemable for cash (except where required by law), are non-refundable, expire as stated at the time of purchase, and are subject to their own terms.

9. Product Descriptions, Colors, and Photography

We strive to display product colors, dimensions, materials, and other characteristics as accurately as possible, but the actual appearance of products may vary depending on your monitor, device, lighting, screen calibration, photography conditions, dye lot, and natural variations in materials such as wood, fabric, paper, and stone. Slight variations between the product you receive and the images or descriptions on the Site are normal and do not constitute a defect. We do not warrant that product descriptions, colors, sizing charts, measurements, or other content on the Site are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.

10. Intellectual Property

The Site and all of its content — including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, photographs, illustrations, audio, video, software, code, designs, page layouts, compilations, arrangements, "look and feel," trademarks, service marks, trade dress, trade names, slogans, and other proprietary materials — are owned by or licensed to Wedding Wonders and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade dress, patent, and other intellectual property laws of the United States and other jurisdictions. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Site solely for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not, and may not permit any third party to: copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works of, distribute, publish, transmit, broadcast, license, sublicense, sell, rent, lease, frame, mirror, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, archive, scrape, harvest, mine, or otherwise commercially exploit any part of the Site without our prior express written consent. The Wedding Wonders name and logo are our trademarks and may not be used without our prior written permission.

11. User Content and License Grant

If you submit, post, upload, share, send, or otherwise make available any reviews, ratings, comments, questions, photos, videos, captions, suggestions, ideas, feedback, testimonials, social media posts (including via hashtags or mentions), or other content to or about the Site or our products (collectively, "User Content"), you grant Wedding Wonders and our affiliates, successors, assigns, and sublicensees a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, cache, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, edit, publish, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, transmit, and otherwise exploit such User Content in any media or format now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose, including advertising, marketing, promotion, product development, and commercial purposes, without any compensation, notice, attribution, or approval.

You represent and warrant that: (a) you own or control all rights in your User Content, including all rights of publicity and privacy of any identifiable individuals appearing in it; (b) all User Content is accurate, truthful, and not misleading; (c) your User Content and our use of it do not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any intellectual property right, right of privacy or publicity, moral right, contractual right, or other right of any third party, or violate any law or regulation; and (d) you have obtained all necessary consents, releases, and authorizations. We have no obligation to monitor, review, edit, or remove User Content but reserve the right to do so at any time, in our sole discretion and without notice. We do not endorse any User Content and disclaim all liability arising from it.

13. Third-Party Links, Products, and Services

The Site may include or link to third-party websites, applications, products, content, or services (including integrations with Shopify, payment processors, shipping carriers, social media platforms, and others). We do not control, endorse, sponsor, or assume any responsibility for the availability, accuracy, content, products, services, policies, terms, security, or practices of any third party.

With your additional opt-in consent where required by law, you may also receive marketing emails, SMS messages, push notifications, or other promotional communications. Message and data rates may apply to SMS. You may opt out of marketing emails by clicking "unsubscribe" and of SMS by replying STOP.

15. Copyright and DMCA Policy

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect users to do the same. If you believe that content on the Site infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our Designated Agent under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") at the contact address in Section 25, including: (a) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act. We may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. Misrepresentations may subject you to liability.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE, ALL CONTENT, ALL PRODUCTS, AND ALL SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" BASIS, WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES, CONDITIONS, OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. WE, OUR AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT: (a) THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, AVAILABLE, SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE; (b) DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; (c) THE SITE OR THE SERVERS THAT MAKE IT AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES, MALWARE, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; (d) ANY CONTENT, INCLUDING USER CONTENT, IS ACCURATE OR RELIABLE; (e) ANY PRODUCTS WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, EXPECTATIONS, OR ANTICIPATED RESULTS; OR (f) THE SITE WILL SUPPORT ANY PARTICULAR EVENT, WEDDING, OR TIMELINE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND ANY PRODUCT IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM SCOPE AND DURATION REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

18. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WEDDING WONDERS, ITS PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, OR SUCCESSORS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "WEDDING WONDERS PARTIES") BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, ENHANCED, PUNITIVE, OR RELIANCE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, DATA, GOODWILL, REPUTATION, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATING TO PERSONAL INJURY, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, WEDDING DELAYS, RUINED EVENTS, MISSED MILESTONES, OR REPLACEMENT COSTS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE OBTAINED THROUGH THE SITE, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE), AND EVEN IF THE WEDDING WONDERS PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE WEDDING WONDERS PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, THESE TERMS, OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO WEDDING WONDERS FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION AND IN SECTION 17 ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND US, AND THAT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SITE OR PRODUCTS ON AN ECONOMICALLY REASONABLE BASIS WITHOUT THEM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW (SUCH AS LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE).

19. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Wedding Wonders Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, judgments, settlements, losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, expert fees, and court costs) arising out of or related to: (a) your access to or use of the Site; (b) your violation or alleged violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or regulation; (d) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property, publicity, privacy, or contractual right; (e) any User Content you submit, post, or transmit; (f) any misrepresentation by you; (g) any dispute between you and any third party; (h) any chargeback or payment dispute you initiate; and (i) any negligence or willful misconduct by you. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate fully with our defense of such claims. You will not settle any claim affecting us without our prior written consent.

20. Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any delay, failure, or interruption in performance of any obligation under these Terms, or for any loss or damage, caused directly or indirectly by any event beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, severe weather, pandemic, epidemic, public health emergency, war, invasion, hostilities, terrorism, riot, civil unrest, embargo, sanctions, government action or order, change in law, labor dispute, strike, supply chain disruption, shortage of materials or transportation, internet, telecommunications, power, or utility failure, cyberattack, hosting or carrier outage, or other force majeure event.

21. Termination and Survival

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including any breach or suspected breach of these Terms. You may stop using the Site at any time. Upon termination, all provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive will survive, including ownership provisions, license grants, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law, dispute resolution, and miscellaneous provisions.

22. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

22.1 Governing Law. These Terms, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site (whether sounding in contract, tort, statute, or otherwise) (each a "Dispute"), are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

22.2 Informal Resolution. Before initiating arbitration, you and we agree to first attempt to resolve any Dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days. To begin this process, you must send a written notice describing the Dispute and the relief sought to the contact in Section 25.

22.3 Binding Arbitration. Except for Excluded Disputes (defined below), you and we agree that any Dispute will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect. Arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator in New York County, New York, or by video conference at your election. Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, has exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including the validity, scope, or enforceability of this arbitration provision.

22.4 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE WILL BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, PRIVATE-ATTORNEY-GENERAL, OR MASS-ARBITRATION ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to any claim, that claim will be severed and heard in court under Section 22.6, while all other claims proceed in arbitration.

22.5 Jury Trial Waiver. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE.

22.6 Excluded Disputes; Court Forum. The following Disputes are not subject to arbitration: (a) actions to enforce or protect intellectual property rights; (b) small-claims-court actions, provided the matter remains in such court and proceeds on an individual basis; and (c) Disputes that cannot be arbitrated as a matter of law. For Excluded Disputes, you and we consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York.

22.7 Opt-Out. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver in Section 22 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out, including your full name and the email address used for your account, to the contact in Section 25 within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

22.8 Time Limit. Any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, except as prohibited by applicable law; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred.

23. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide reasonable notice through the Site, by email, or by other means. Your continued access to or use of the Site after the effective date of any change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, your sole remedy is to stop using the Site. It is your responsibility to check this page periodically.

24. Miscellaneous

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly agreed between you and us, constitute the entire agreement between you and Wedding Wonders regarding the Site and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, or agreements.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision. No waiver is effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Wedding Wonders.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment without consent is null and void. We may freely assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction.

Relationship. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship is created between you and us as a result of these Terms or your use of the Site.

Notices. We may provide notices to you by email, through the Site, or by other reasonable means. You must provide any notice to us in writing at the contact in Section 25.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the Wedding Wonders Parties (who are intended beneficiaries of Sections 17–19 and 22), these Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights.

Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

Electronic Communications. You consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Export and Sanctions. You may not use, export, re-export, import, or transfer the Site, products, or any related technology except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Site was obtained, and any other applicable law.

Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is provided for convenience only; the English version controls in the event of any conflict.
