  1. Event Vines Services

Event Vines offers a platform to provide event venue and vendor matching and booking to make it easier for Event Planners, their clients and various other Vendors to communicate to plan seamless, amazing events. Event Planners may use the Service to find and book Vendors, plan events and manage their Clients. Clients may use the service to find, hire and work with Event Planners, Venues and Vendors in planning their events. Vendors, Venues and Event Planners may use the Service to market, promote and provide their goods and services to Clients.  Event Vines’ goal is to provide those connections and create that marketplace.

As a result, Event Vines Services contain both Event Vines-created content, third party content and user content. We may review any user created or third party-content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. However, Event Vines does not routinely screen any user or third-party content.

Event Vines allows Vendors, Venues and Event Planners to claim their listing and control their content available through the Event Vines Site. For unclaimed listings, Event Vines strives to provide accurate information gathered from publicly available sources, but we do not guarantee the accuracy of any information for unclaimed listings. Once a Vendor, Venue or Event Planner has claimed its listing, it becomes responsible for maintaining the accuracy of its information and Event Vines  cannot guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or quality of any information.

  1. Event Planning Services for Consumers

Event Vines provides the connections between consumers, Event Planners, Vendors, and Venues. However, all dealings, negotiations, proposals and agreements are solely between the respective parties and Event Vines will have no liability for any interactions between Clients, Vendors or Event Planners. Event Vines  is also not responsible for any contracts or proposals that you upload to the Service other than making them available for review and signature (including e-signature) as authorized by you. If you are purchasing goods or services through Event Vines, Event Vines will process a transaction on your behalf but we are simply the intermediary in such transactions. The purchaser is solely liable for paying for the goods or services provided. Event Vines is not liable, either primarily or secondarily, for paying any Vendor or Event Planner except as an agent on your behalf.

  1. Free, Lite and Professional Services

Event Vines is pleased to offer optional, premium Services for Venues and Vendors including Free, Lite and Professional Memberships. The list of additional services and associated monthly fees available at each membership level are listed on the membership page and are subject to change. By selecting a Premium Service other than Free Membership, you agree to pay Event Vines all subscription or usage fees indicated for that service as they become due. Payments for Premium Services will be charged on the day your Premium Service goes into effect and payment will cover the use of that service for the period indicated. You also agree that any monthly payments will continue to be charged to your credit card on a recurring basis until you cancel the Premium Service. The amount of the monthly recurring charge will be based on the Premium Service you selected. You acknowledge that the amount of the recurring charge may increase if the applicable subscription fee increases. If you wish to cancel any Premium Service, you must do so prior to your monthly renewal in order to avoid billing of the next month’s Premium Service fee. Premium Service fees are not prorated or refundable.

If your payment method fails or your account is past due, Event Vines reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your Premium Services. Any suspension or termination will result in the cancellation of any promotional programs applicable to your Premium Services. Any dispute of any charge to your account must be submitted to Event Vines within sixty (60) days of such charge, or the dispute is waived and the charge will be final.
