Marry Legal Shield & Platform Governance
Terms of Use
Effective Date: November 9, 2026 | Governing Jurisdiction: New York State (Monroe & Wayne County, NY)
The Short Version (Plain-English Summary)
Reader Friendly- Marry is a Neutral Discovery & Planning Workspace: All formal wedding contracts, retainers, deposits, and payments happen directly between the couple and the vendor outside of Marry. Marking a vendor as "Booked" or placing a "Soft Hold" on Marry is a personal organizational record only and never creates a legally binding service contract.
- Unclaimed Studio Profiles & Regional Benchmarks: Public directory listings that have not been claimed yet display regional category investment ranges rather than binding quotes. Studio owners can claim, edit, or permanently remove their listing in one click at any time.
- Transparent Vendor Subscriptions ($5/mo Intro): Founding Studio Pro ($39/mo standard) and Signature ($69/mo standard) plans start at $5/mo for your first 3 months and auto-renew on Month 4 unless canceled. If you cancel, your studio simply reverts to the 15% Free Tier lens without deleting your saved studio data.
- AI Matchmaker & Calculator Estimates: Marry AI briefings, tax/gratuity estimates, and guest dietary/allergy trackers are informational planning aids. Always verify final pricing, contracts, and severe medical allergies directly with your hired professionals.
1. Neutral Platform Status & Direct Contracting
Marry ("marryweddings.com") operates strictly as an editorial directory, AI matchmaking concierge, and wedding planning software provider. Marry is not a party to any agreement between couples and wedding vendors, does not act as an escrow agent or booking broker, and does not guarantee vendor availability, performance, or couple payment. Using tools such as "Place Soft Hold", "Mark Booked", or calendar availability indicators creates a non-binding organizational status inside your portal only.
2. Unclaimed Listings, Regional Price Benchmarks & 1-Click Removal
To help couples plan realistic budgets, unclaimed studio profiles operate under our 15% Free Tier lens (capped at 5 portfolio preview images) and display a regional category investment benchmark ("Typical Category Investment in Region") rather than an unverified studio quote.
3. AI Concierge, Budget Calculators & Dietary RSVP Disclaimers
Our Two-Brain AI Concierge, deterministic budget allocations, regional tax calculations, and guest meal/allergy RSVP trackers are automated planning tools. Marry makes no warranty regarding the accuracy of tax rates, vendor package inclusions, or self-reported guest dietary restrictions. Couples and caterers must independently verify life-threatening allergies and final invoice totals.
4. Double-Edged Review Diagnosis & Mutual Booking Verification
Reviews, peer studio endorsements, and AI Review Diagnosis insights require verified inquiry or mutual booking records. By submitting feedback or claiming a profile, you grant Marry the right to analyze, summarize, and display aggregated sentiment and endorsement metrics within our tier gates.
5. Stripe Subscription Billing & 15% Free Tier Reversion
Paid vendor plans include a promotional introductory rate of $5.00 USD per month for the first three (3) consecutive months, automatically transitioning on Month 4 to $39.00/month (Studio Pro) or $69.00/month (Signature) via Stripe unless canceled prior to the billing date. You may cancel anytime in the Vendor Portal; upon cancellation, your storefront gracefully reverts to the 15% Free Tier lens (5 photos max, Dormant Vault locked) while preserving your underlying account data in cold storage.
6. Strict Anti-Scraping & Anti-AI-Harvesting Clause
Automated scraping, crawling, data mining, or harvesting of vendor profiles, couple wedding websites, pricing dossiers, or photographs on marryweddings.com for external dataset training, competing directories, or commercial solicitation is strictly prohibited.
7. Limitation of Liability ($100 Cap) & Governing Law
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Marry shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or emotional distress damages arising from vendor no-shows, wedding disruptions, or third-party disputes. Our total cumulative liability for any claim shall not exceed the greater of one hundred dollars ($100.00 USD) or the subscription fees paid by you to Marry in the three (3) months preceding the claim. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, with exclusive venue in the state and federal courts serving Monroe County and Wayne County, New York.
