Terms of Service

Important notice regarding WeddingPeer’s role:

WeddingPeer is solely a technical online platform for the publication of listings, user discovery, contact initiation, and communication between users. WeddingPeer is not a lessor, lessee, seller, buyer, broker, intermediary, agent, insurer, payment service provider, bailee, escrow provider, trustee, or other contracting party to any transaction between users.
No rental, sale, service, or other contract between users is concluded through WeddingPeer itself, unless WeddingPeer expressly states otherwise in writing.

By creating an account, accessing the platform, or using WeddingPeer, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (the “Terms”).

2.4 To the extent WeddingPeer provides templates, guidance, example text, safety information, or other tools, these are provided solely for general information and convenience. They do not constitute legal advice, a representation, or an assumption of any contractual or statutory obligation by WeddingPeer.

3. No Contracts Concluded Through the Platform; No Broker or Intermediary Role

3.1 WeddingPeer is not a party to any transaction between Users.

3.2 Use of the Platform, publication of a listing, contact initiation, exchange of messages, display of status messages, use of buttons such as “Send Request,” “Express Interest,” or similar technical functions, or any other interaction through the Platform shall not by itself create any contract between Users and, in particular, shall not create any contract with WeddingPeer concerning any listed Item.

3.3 Any contract concerning an Item, if one is entered into at all, is entered into solely and directly between the relevant Users and only upon their independent, express agreement beyond the mere technical use of the Platform. WeddingPeer is not involved in such contract and does not become a party to it.

3.4 WeddingPeer does not act as a broker, intermediary, agent, representative, merchant, reseller, dealer acting in its own name, franchisee, commission agent, insurer, guarantor, or trustee.
