Website Terms of Use

1 About these terms

These terms explain the rules for using www.bridalshowcase.co.uk (the “Website”).

The Website is operated by Bridal Showcase (“we”, “us” or “our”). Our contact details appear at the end of these terms.

By using the Website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Website.

These terms apply to visitors using the public Website. Wedding suppliers who purchase advertising or listing services from us are also subject to separate Advertiser Terms of Business.

2 What Bridal Showcase does

Bridal Showcase is an online wedding directory. It helps visitors discover independent wedding businesses and provides links and contact information so that visitors can contact those businesses directly.

Unless we expressly state otherwise, businesses featured on the Website are independent third parties. We do not act as their agent, and we are not a party to any enquiry, quotation, booking, payment, contract or dispute between a visitor and a listed business.

Descriptions such as “selected”, “featured” or “hand-picked” refer to our directory and advertising choices. They are not a guarantee, warranty or professional endorsement of a business, its services or its suitability for a particular wedding.

3 Information on the Website

We aim to keep the Website helpful and accurate, but business details, prices, availability, photographs, descriptions and links may change. Some listing information is supplied by the businesses concerned.

Before making a booking or payment, you should check all important details directly with the relevant business, including its identity, availability, prices, terms, insurance, licences, qualifications, cancellation arrangements and suitability for your requirements.

The Website is provided for general information and directory purposes. Nothing on it constitutes legal, financial or professional advice.

4 Your dealings with listed businesses

Any contract you enter into with a listed business is between you and that business. Its own terms and privacy information will apply.

You are responsible for deciding whether to use a listed business. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, statements, products or services of an independent business, or for any disagreement arising between you and that business.

If you have a concern about a listing, please contact us. We may review, amend, suspend or remove a listing, but we are not obliged to investigate or mediate private contractual disputes.

5 Acceptable use

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes. You must not:

• use the Website fraudulently or unlawfully;
• harass, threaten or mistreat another person;
• submit material that is false, misleading, defamatory, obscene, offensive or unlawful;
• infringe anyone’s intellectual property, privacy or other legal rights;
• introduce viruses, malicious code or other harmful technology;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its server or connected systems;
• scrape, harvest or systematically extract Website content or contact details without our written permission; or
• interfere with the operation or security of the Website.

We may restrict, suspend or end access to the Website where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached or where this is necessary to protect the Website, its users or another person.

6 Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the Website’s design and the content created by us—including our text, branding, graphics, downloadable materials and original images—belong to Bridal Showcase or are used with permission. They are protected by copyright, trade mark and other applicable laws.

Businesses featured on the Website may own the names, logos, photographs and other material supplied for their listings.

You may view the Website and print or download reasonable extracts for your personal, non-commercial use. You must not copy, republish, sell, alter, distribute or commercially exploit Website content without permission from the relevant rights owner.

7 Material submitted to us

If you submit a review, photograph, message or other material for publication, you confirm that you have the right to provide it and that it is accurate and lawful.

You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to use, reproduce, edit and display that material to operate and promote Bridal Showcase. You keep ownership of your material. We may refuse, edit or remove submitted material at our discretion where reasonably necessary.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information for public display.

8 Links to other websites

The Website may link to third-party websites, social media pages, payment services or other online services. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their availability, content, security, privacy practices or terms.

A link does not mean that we approve or guarantee everything on the linked service. You should review the third party’s own terms and privacy information before using it or providing personal information.

9 Website availability and changes

We may update, suspend, withdraw or change any part of the Website without notice. We do not guarantee that the Website, or any content on it, will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors or harmful material.

You are responsible for using suitable security software and for ensuring that anyone accessing the Website through your internet connection understands these terms.

10 Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any rights that cannot legally be excluded.

If you use the Website as a consumer, we are responsible for loss or damage that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for loss or damage that is not foreseeable.

We provide the Website for personal use. We are not responsible for business losses, including loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, anticipated savings, goodwill or data, arising from a visitor’s use of the public Website.

11 Privacy and cookies

Our Privacy Notice explains how we collect and use personal information. Our Cookie Notice explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the Website and the choices available to you. Please read those notices alongside these terms.

12 Changes to these terms

We may update these terms to reflect changes to the Website, our services or the law. The revised terms will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Where a change materially affects a registered service or an existing contract, we will give any notice required by law or by the relevant contract.

13 Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer living in the United Kingdom, you may bring legal proceedings in the courts that apply where you live. Otherwise, the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

14 General

If a court finds that part of these terms is unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

If we do not enforce a provision immediately, that does not prevent us from enforcing it later.

These terms do not give rights to anyone other than you and us.
