2. The Services (“Service(s)”)
Through our Website, we offer a suite of project management tools and a marketplace for the wedding industry. The Wedding Wizard connects couples and suppliers through its Website, making interaction and communication tools available to both of them, giving suppliers a target audience interested in their products and services and tools to help manage those weddings, and providing couples with products and services related to organising and holding weddings.
Users of our Website include individual users such as prospective brides and grooms and newlyweds ("Couples"), their wedding guests ("Guests") (together referred to as "Members"), as well as businesses, companies and other third parties offering wedding-related products and services (collectively, "Suppliers") (all of the foregoing, including Members and Suppliers, collectively, "Users").
Certain areas of the Website may provide a place for Members to interact with Suppliers and to book services offered by those Suppliers. These services include for example:
-
A dedicated wedding management page between Couples and the Suppliers they have ‘hired’. Information which can be shared in here includes:
-
Budget feature: where the couple or supplier can create a budget and related payment milestones with dates – so everyone is clear on what is to be paid by when.
-
Agreements: where the agreement can be set up (or saved if set up offline). The Supplier can create an agreement which must be approved by the Couple. Once approved, both parties should treat this as binding. There is the ability to amend the agreement if needs be.
-
Tasks: The Supplier can set / share tasks with the Couple.
-
Notes: where the Supplier or Couple can keep notes.
-
-
The ability to make payment online, once a budget has been set up and approved on the dedicated wedding management page.
This is free of charge for the Couple, you will pay the relevant amount as agreed with the Supplier and/or indicated in the budget. The Supplier will pay a small commission (if applicable) and related Stripe fees, as outlined in the ‘Fees and Payments’ section at 10.2 below.
-
Enquiry and messaging function, where a Couples can interact one to one with all their suppliers and Suppliers can do the same with all their Couples.
We warrant that we will provide the Service(s) with reasonable skill. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for all use you make of any Service(s). We do not accept any responsibility or liability for issues arising with your wedding, whether directly or indirectly caused by the Suppliers, tools or other functionality made available to you via our Website.
2.1 Innovative communication & planning solution
As a Couple using the Service(s), you agree that certain information can be shared on The Wedding Wizard, including:
-
with Suppliers (through the messenger, enquiry feature and the dedicated 'My Supplier' page for Suppliers hired);
-
with your Partner, who will have access to all content and planning tools related to your wedding, assuming, of course, you invite them to help in the planning;
-
with your Guests. The Wedding Wizard allows you to share more of your wedding with guests through features such as the Guest Manager and (very soon) the 'Your Guests' feature. Your guests will,, therefore, be able to view certain information about your Wedding, depending of course on how much you choose to share with them.
From a supplier perspective, much of the key project management can be carried out on The Wedding Wizard, sharing such things as Agreements, Budgets & payment plans and Tasks with your Couples from the dedicated wedding page.
We accept no responsibility for the communications between Users, It is important that you understand that you are in the best position to know the consequences of what is being communicated and we do not oversee this.

At The Wedding Wizard, we value the integrity and quality of our Rating and Review system, therefore, if a User undermines the integrity of our Rating and Review system in any way, their membership or subscription may be suspended or terminated. Each Supplier acknowledges that a Rating and Review ("Feedback") consists of opinions left by other Users and a machine calculated feedback score.

Broadly, the feedback rules include:
-
Users may only leave one feedback item per unique transaction, whether positive, neutral, or negative, for any other Supplier;
-
The User leaving the review must have conducted business with the Supplier, having ‘hired’ the Supplier on the Website. We reserve the right to request additional information regarding proof of business (if necessary); and

By submitting feedback, you agree that feedback may be subject to review by The Wedding Wizard at any time. Any feedback item investigated by The Wedding Wizard may be temporarily or permanently removed.
To protect the integrity of the Rating and Review system, we may remove a feedback item under the following scenarios:
-
If feedback contains confidential information about another user or references litigation or court proceedings;
-
If feedback posted contains language that is profane, vulgar, discriminatory or contains adult material;
-
If we receive a request from a court of law;
-
If required pursuant to any claims of Copyright;
-
If feedback posted seeks to elicit or solicit any User's contact information, such as other User email addresses, for any non-Website related commercial or business purposes, or to transmit any unsolicited advertising, "junk mail," "spam," or "chain letters";
-
If we cannot reach the User who left feedback, or the User fails to validate that the business was conducted with the Supplier; and
-
If feedback contains information that could identify users personally such as full names, date of birth, physical addresses, email addresses, credit card numbers, social security numbers or any other identification number.
Suppliers will have the ability to contest Feedback before it goes live, details of which will be shared with Suppliers once the Rating and Review system has been finalised. Nevertheless, Users may send an email to info@theweddingwizard.ie to dispute a rating or review.
We may suspend or terminate your account if we suspect that you have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with our Site, as determined in our sole discretion. Fraudulent acts include, but are not limited to, the manipulation of the Rating and Review system.

10. Fees and Payments
The Wedding Wizard is an innovative wedding marketplace, with some new payment features aimed at facilitating all aspects of weddings, such as:
-
Suppliers can be paid by Couples through The Wedding Wizard; and
-
allowing Couples to make payment to all their wedding suppliers in one place, and facilitating suppliers to get paid online, and - very soon Couples can receive 'cash' gifts from their Guests through The Wedding Wizard.
10.1 Members
There are no minimum fees for Members to join our Website. Optional fee-based Service(s) may become available but participation will not be mandatory.
If, as a Couple, you choose to use the 'Cash Gifting' feature (when it comes online), you agree to the following:
-
the Cash Gifting Services provide links and interfaces to third-party payment processors such as Stripe (“Payment Processors”) that may permit Users (e.g., wedding guests and other gift-givers) (each, a “Gift Giver”) to send funds to other Users (e.g., couples) or, in the future, third parties (e.g., charitable organizations selected by a User) (each of the foregoing, a “Beneficiary”). You acknowledge that while we provide links to such Payment Processors, we do not control and are not responsible for payments made or received through such Payment Processors;
-
any use of Payment Processor services by you:
-
will require the setup of an account with the Payment Processor, the exact requirements for which will be set out in the Cash Gifts section when live, and represents and warrants that all such information provided therein will be true, correct, and complete;
-
will be subject to any fees provided by the Payment Processor and The Wedding Wizard,
-
is at your own risk;
-
is subject to your agreement that we are not responsible for any fund transfers or anything else arising from or related to the services provided by a Payment Processor or third-party; and
-
is subject to these Terms.
-
-
the Cash Gifting Service is a feature offered as a convenience to Users. Without limiting any other rights we have set forth herein we reserve the right to suspend, terminate, freeze or close any account in accordance with the terms of the section ‘Suspension or Termination of Access’ below. Accounts may be frozen at the sole discretion of us or the third-party service provider until a review has been conducted and the validity of the account is confirmed.
-
Users acknowledge that they are submitting payment directly to the Beneficiary (via a third-party payment service or any other payment method) and therefore we are not responsible for lost payments, identity theft, fraud, or refunds.
10.2 Suppliers
At present, there is only a minimal account validation fee to register with and list on The Wedding Wizard marketplace. Initially the validation fee is €49.95 (plus VAT), this is an introductory offer and may be changed at our sole discretion.
As a member of The Wedding Wizard marketplace (the "Marketplace"), Suppliers agree to (i) connect their Stripe account to The Wedding Wizard’s Stripe Connect platform, and (ii) The Wedding Wizard fees, only payable when Suppliers earn income on or use the Marketplace payments feature, as outlined here.
Outlined below is an overview of the marketplace fees and how they apply on The Wedding Wizard, for illustrative purposes. If the terms described below conflict with The Wedding Wizard fee structure (as per the page linked in the previous paragraph), the latter shall apply:
-
Commission: For any Couple sourced on The Wedding Wizard, the Supplier agrees to pay (i) an upfront commission of 3.55% (plus 23% VAT) on the total amount contracted (ex-VAT) with the User, payable to The Wedding Wizard, and (ii) Stripe fees.
The entire commission will be deducted from the first payment on The Wedding Wizard, with Stripe deducting it and redirecting it to The Wedding Wizard automatically. As a result, there will be no further commission on any subsequent payment for the services in question on the Marketplace. We reserve the right to charge our commission offline, whereby we will issue an invoice for our commission to the business email we have on file or by post. You will have 30 days to settle this invoice, otherwise your listing on the Marketplace may be suspended.
A Couple is deemed sourced on The Wedding Wizard if:
-
they have made an enquiry on The Wedding Wizard (using the Enquire Now feature on the Supplier Storefront), and subsequently engage the Supplier; or
-
the Couple or Supplier, whoever creates the dedicated 'hired' wedding page, indicates the relationship was first established or found on The Wedding Wizard.
-
Facilitation fee: Where a Couple is not sourced on The Wedding Wizard, they can still make payments to the Supplier on The Wedding Wizard. In this scenario, we will only charge a facilitation fee on the specific amount being transacted (ex-VAT). The facilitation fee will initially be 3.55% (plus 23% VAT) of the amount being paid (ex-VAT). Stripe will also have a fee at the relevant Stripe rate.
-
Premium services: If, having introduced a fee-based premium service, you opt-in, such premium services will be subject to additional terms. You irrevocably and expressly authorize us to debit or credit, as applicable, any monies to the account that you have identified. You agree that it is your responsibility to maintain a valid, non-expired credit card on file with us (us will mean, at least initially, a third payment processor with whom we have a relationship) while engaging in fee-based activities on our Website. You agree that if you do not maintain a valid, non-expired card on file with us during any billing attempt, you may be subject to interest and penalties as enumerated below and we may suspend or terminate your access to any such fee-based program upon any payment default.
We may add new services for additional fees and charges, or add or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in our sole discretion. In order to optimize the Website, we are constantly testing new initiatives and product offerings and may change the operation of the Website, including the order and manner in which advertisements appear on it, the way that services are delivered, and the way that new customers are charged for services. You agree that we may test, implement, remove or modify features on this Website at any time without notice.
You irrevocably and expressly authorise us to withhold any monies and/or debit any monies from any account that you have identified for any chargebacks, fees, costs, deductions, adjustments and any other amounts owed to us. We reserve our rights to all actions and remedies in connection with any monies owed to us. You will indemnify, defend and hold us harmless for any claims, demands or causes of actions that we take toward any identified account pursuant to this Section.

If for any reason, any fees you owe us have not been received or in any manner realised by us ("Unpaid Fees"), you agree to pay such Unpaid Fees immediately. In addition, we may charge interest, in the amount of 2% per month (or the maximum amount allowed by law if lower), on any unpaid account balance that you maintain. Any partial payments made by Users will first be applied to the most recent fees owed to us, including interest. We reserve the right to waive or reduce the amount of any Unpaid Fees, penalties, or interest at any time. You also agree to pay any legal fees, and other costs of collection incurred by us with respect to any Unpaid Fees.
