  1. The Company is a Neutral Venue and Not Party to any Transaction

The Site is a marketplace for the special events industry. Site members ("Members") include any individual, person or legal entity who uses the Site to help plan their special event(s) such as prospective brides and grooms or someone planning a party (collectively, “End Users") and any individual, person or legal entity offering products and services related to special events ("Vendors"). 

The Company is not a special events product or service provider, vendor or an agent representative. We and the Site function solely as a neutral venue and digital directory where End Users and Vendors may connect for a particular type of service or product. We are not involved in or a party to the actual transaction between End Users and Vendors.

As a result, the Company has no control over the quality, accuracy, safety, or legality of the transactions that take place on the Site, the accuracy of listings and reviews, or the ability of Vendors to provide the items or services and neither the Company nor our affiliates are responsible for the actions or inactions of End Users or Vendors.

End Users should use the Site as a starting point for identifying Vendors who may be able to provide the products and services needed for their event but End Users should always conduct their own research to ensure that Vendors chosen are appropriate for their event.

If you are an End User, you acknowledge and agree that the Company does not provide any of the products or services advertised or offered by the Vendors on the Site and therefore cannot and does not guarantee the quality of the goods or services offered by any of the Vendors. Any and all communications, correspondence, verbal or written, or any warranties or representations made with regard to goods, products and/or services offered by any Vendor through the Site are not provided by the Company and are specifically and solely between you and the Vendor. Any transaction you enter into with a Vendor is strictly between you and such Vendor and the Company is not a party to that transaction. Accordingly, any dispute you have with a Vendor is between you and such Vendor, and the Company will not be a party to that dispute. You hereby agree to release the Company, its officers, directors, agents, and employees from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of any kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with any disputes between you and any Vendor.

If you are a Vendor, you acknowledge and agree that the Company is in no way responsible for assisting you in reaching an agreement with any End User, nor is the Company responsible for assisting you in providing goods and services to End Users. You acknowledge and agree that the Company cannot and will not verify any information about any End Users and cannot and will not guarantee the ability of any End Users to complete payment for any of the goods, products or services you provide. Any transaction you enter into with an End User is strictly between you and such End User, and the Company is not a party to that transaction. Accordingly, any dispute you have with an End User is between you and such End User and the Company will not be a party to that dispute. You agree to release the Company, its officers, directors, agents, and employees from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of any kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with any disputes between you and any End User.

  1. Vendor Profile Removal

In order to best serve End Users, the Company endeavors to maintain an exhaustive and up-to-date directory of all actively operating businesses within the special events industry. Accordingly, on the Website, the Company includes Vendor information that is within the public domain, such as business name, address, etc. As a public policy matter, the Company does not remove Vendor profiles if a Vendor is still operating and information about the Vendor continues to be in the public domain.

If any of the information on a Vendor’s profile is incorrect or requires updating, the Company provides all Vendors with free access to update their profile. Vendors can contact registration [at] eventsource [dot] ca for assistance with updating their profile.

  1. Review Guidelines

In addition to the guidelines with respect to Submitted Information as described in section 5 of the Terms, you represent that you have read and understood the following review guidelines (collectively, the “Review Guidelines”) and agree to abide by same:

  1. Reviews must be based on a business transaction or a proposed business transaction. If you have conducted business with a Vendor, or you have otherwise communicated with such Vendor regarding a proposed business transaction, and are able to provide proof of such business transaction(s) or proposed business transaction(s), then you are permitted to post a review for each unique transaction you conducted with such Vendor.
  2. Reviews must be submitted with a name and a valid email address. The Company's policy is to post the name provided by you in association with a review. Your name and email address are required for verification purposes, and to ensure that we serve the best and most relevant results to users of the Site. For more information, please see the Company's Privacy Policy.
  3. Reviews should be unique, independent, and accurate. Your review should focus solely on your experience with the Vendor and the goods and/or services provided by such Vendor. If your review is about a proposed business transaction, you must clearly state that fact in your review - you must not imply that you received a service and/or goods from the Vendor or that you entered into an agreement/contract with them. As others may rely on your reviews, we urge you to make your comments helpful, reasonable, and above all, truthful to your experience. Ensure your content is as factually accurate as possible according to your knowledge and experience. Avoid accusations and keep your review focused on the facts.
  4. The content of a review must be family-friendly. The Company will not post – or once posted, will remove – any reviews that contain insulting language, profanity, threats, prejudiced comments, hate speech, personal attacks, or other content considered objectionable.
  5. Reviews must exclude any personal and/or identifiable information. Your review should not include any personal or private details about a Vendor or their employees (such as first and last name, home address, personal phone number, etc.). Reviews that contain this type of information will be removed.
  6. Ensure your review is legal, non-infringing and not defamatory. The Company will not post, and once posted, will remove from the Site, any review that is, or becomes, illegal, infringing, and/or defamatory.
  7. Vendors and representatives of Vendors, including individuals, business owners, managers, or employees (past or current) may not pose as consumers and post reviews about their own company. This is considered to be fraudulent activity, and will be treated accordingly.
  8. Reviews must be non-commercial. The Company will not post any web addresses, e-mail addresses, HTML code, or promotional materials of any kind.
  9. Reviews must be written in English.

We allow Vendors and representatives of Vendors that were reviewed to respond to posted reviews by logging into their Vendor dashboard and replying directly to such reviews. The Company will apply the same Review Guidelines to such responses. Please note that the identity of a representative that files a response to a review will be made known on the Site.

When Reviews will be Removed

Reviews may be removed if (i) you request your review to be removed; (ii) your review has been disputed and is currently being investigated; once the investigation is completed, your review will either be posted on the Site or rejected if the Company has determined that your review does not comply with these Review Guidelines; or (iii) your review does not comply with these Review Guidelines.
