3. Any general or special terms and conditions of the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL are expressly excluded, even if these were communicated at a later date or were attached as an appendix to a document from the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL.

4. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS reserves the right to make any changes to the General Terms and Conditions or rates (e.g. new products/options, amended service levels) on an annual basis. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL will be notified of this in writing in good time.

Article 2. Term, tacit renewal and termination

1. The Agreement is entered into for an initial term of twelve (12) months, commencing on the date of signature of the Agreement by both Parties, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

2. Unless one of the Parties gives written notice of termination (by email to support@houseofweddings.com with confirmation of receipt or by registered letter) at least three (3) months before the annual expiry date, the Agreement shall be automatically and tacitly renewed for successive periods of twelve (12) months and, in principle, on the same terms and conditions, unless in the meantime a change to the terms and conditions has taken place in accordance with Article 1.4 or by mutual agreement between the Parties. The Parties acknowledge that, given the annual nature of the service provision, this notice period constitutes a reasonable period of notice.

3. In the event of early termination, the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall not be entitled to a refund of (part of) any fees or payments already made.

Article 3. Services and obligations of HOUSE OF WEDDINGS

1. Creation and management of partner pages - HOUSE OF WEDDINGS manages an online platform featuring a partner page (and, if agreed, advertising space) dedicated to the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL, based on the information and documentation completed and verified by the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL, in accordance with the template provided by HOUSE OF WEDDINGS.

2. Timing and ‘best efforts’ (no obligation to achieve a specific result) - HOUSE OF WEDDINGS endeavours to publish the partner page online as soon as possible after (i) the necessary information and documentation have been correctly supplied and (ii) payment of the invoice by the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL, without this constituting an obligation to achieve a specific result. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS gives no guarantee regarding the exact publication date or commercial results (such as the number of enquiries, views or conversions).

3. Presentation, visual identity and final editorial decision - HOUSE OF WEDDINGS retains sole final decision-making authority regarding the layout and content of the online platform, the graphic design and the presentation of the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL on the website. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS also reserves the right to refuse the publication of unsuitable or poor-quality material, or material that conflicts with the editorial, visual or brand guidelines of HOUSE OF WEDDINGS, or if it infringes the rights of third parties.

4. Options, placement and exclusivity – HOUSE OF WEDDINGS respects the options selected by the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL and takes the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL’s other wishes into account as far as possible; however, placement in a specific location on the online platform, or exclusivity within a specific category, is not guaranteed, unless expressly agreed in writing. Failure to comply with these wishes or specifications shall therefore not give rise to any compensation or price reduction.

5. Maintenance and changes to the platform - HOUSE OF WEDDINGS may modify the platform, its functionalities and the navigation structure for technical, commercial or editorial reasons (including maintenance, security and updates). Temporary interruptions for technical reasons shall not give rise to compensation, except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

6. Use of brand and logo during the term of the Agreement – During the term of the Agreement, HOUSE OF WEDDINGS grants the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL a revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the HOUSE OF WEDDINGS brand and/or logo solely for the purpose of referring to their listing on the online platform, and always in accordance with HOUSE OF WEDDINGS’ guidelines. If the Agreement is terminated by either party, the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL must remove the brand and logo from all their communications within seven (7) days.

Article 4. Obligations of the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL

1. Timely provision of information and updates - The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall, where necessary, provide all requested information and materials, in accordance with the template provided by HOUSE OF WEDDINGS, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of signing the Agreement, insofar as the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL is unable to add this information and these materials to the platform independently. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall provide all (most recent) images and/or photographs in good time for the amendment of the partner page when HOUSE OF WEDDINGS so requests. Late delivery by the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall not entitle the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL to compensation or a price reduction.

2. Prohibition on AI-generated images - The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL may only use and publish their Original Portfolio Content on the platform. It is expressly prohibited to use AI-generated or images/videos (co-)created by generative AI as a portfolio, reference or example, or to post any other content that gives a misleading impression regarding the origin or authenticity of the work. In the event of (suspected) infringement, HOUSE OF WEDDINGS may immediately take the content offline and/or temporarily suspend the account, and request the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL to remove the content in question within 48 hours and, where applicable, provide proof of Original Work. If the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL fails to remove or rectify the content in a timely manner, this shall constitute a material breach entitling HOUSE OF WEDDINGS to terminate the agreement with immediate effect, without prejudice to the right to compensation and/or indemnification against third-party claims.

3. Quality guarantee and compliance with professional standards - The Parties expressly acknowledge that the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL was selected by HOUSE OF WEDDINGS on the basis of the quality of its services and/or products at the time this Agreement was concluded. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL undertakes to maintain this quality throughout the entire duration of the Agreement.

5. Rights to supplied material – guarantees and indemnification – The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL guarantees that they hold all necessary rights, permissions and licences to the supplied material (including, but not limited to, copyright, licensing rights and image rights, trademark rights, etc.) and that its publication by HOUSE OF WEDDINGS, including but not limited to inclusion on the partner page, in newsletters, on social media and in other (online and offline) marketing and communication channels of HOUSE OF WEDDINGS, does not infringe the rights of third parties and does not violate any laws or regulations. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall, upon first request, provide HOUSE OF WEDDINGS with all supporting documents relating to these rights/consents (e.g. model releases, licence agreements).

6. Indemnification – The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall indemnify and hold HOUSE OF WEDDINGS fully harmless against any claims by third parties (including claims, complaints, proceedings or enforcement measures) arising from the material supplied or used by the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL on the partner page. This indemnity covers all demonstrable damage and all reasonable costs, including (but not limited to) damages, legal costs, extrajudicial costs, reasonable lawyers’ and expert fees, and reasonable costs of an out-of-court settlement. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS shall notify the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL without delay of any claim and shall allow them to cooperate reasonably in the defence.

7. Insurance - The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL expressly guarantees to HOUSE OF WEDDINGS that they are covered by civil liability insurance for the entire duration of the Agreement. They shall provide a certificate upon first request.

8. Duty to notify of changes – The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall immediately notify HOUSE OF WEDDINGS of any change relevant to the collaboration (including changes in operations, identity, contact details, management or shareholder structure).

Article 5. Rates, price revisions, invoicing and payment

1. Annual or monthly subscription fee and fee structure - The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL is liable to pay either an annual fee or a monthly instalment of the annual fee, as specified in the quotation and/or Agreement (“Annual/Monthly Fee”), possibly supplemented by agreed options (including advertising space) and additional services. All fees are exclusive of VAT and any taxes or levies imposed by the government.

2. Invoicing - With a view to the payment of the first annual fee, HOUSE OF WEDDINGS will send an invoice to the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL within three (3) days of the conclusion of the contract. In the event of renewal of the Agreement, HOUSE OF WEDDINGS will send an invoice for the subsequent annual fee no later than fourteen (14) days before the annual due date.

3. Payment term – All invoices from HOUSE OF WEDDINGS are payable within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date. Payment must be made to the account specified by HOUSE OF WEDDINGS.

4. Direct debit as standard payment method (SEPA) – Payment of the invoice is preferably made via a SEPA direct debit. To this end, the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall provide (at the latest upon signing or upon first request) a valid SEPA direct debit authorisation (mandate) and all required mandate details. Any deviation from this is only possible with express written consent. In the event of a failed collection (e.g. insufficient funds, technical rejection), the payment remains due in accordance with the invoice; any bank charges or reasonable administrative costs arising from this may be passed on to the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL.

5. Price Revision – Upon taking out an annual subscription, the agreed price applies for the current subscription period. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS may adjust the price for future subscription periods, including but not limited to rising labour costs, supplier/hosting costs, licence fees, inflation or other operational costs. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS shall notify the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL of any price adjustment in writing by email at least 4 months before the end of the current subscription period, stating the new price and the effective date. If the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL does not agree to the new price, they may cancel the subscription free of charge, subject to a notice period of 3 months prior to the end of the current subscription period. In the absence of timely cancellation, the price adjustment shall be deemed to have been accepted and the new price shall apply from the date of renewal.

6. Late payment – interest, liquidated damages and suspension - In the event of total or partial non-payment on the due date, the following shall be due by operation of law and without notice of default: (i) default interest in accordance with the Law on Late Payment in Commercial Transactions, (ii) a fixed collection fee of €40. Following a written reminder, the outstanding amount shall be increased by a contractual penalty of 10% (min. €75 and max. €500), without prejudice to the right to claim higher damages actually proven. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS shall be entitled to suspend the performance of current publication orders, and thus also to take the partner page offline pending payment, following a prior written notice of default, and without prejudice to any other rights. No complaint whatsoever entitles the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL to suspend their payment obligations, save where required by mandatory law.

7. Disputing invoices - In the event of a dispute, the invoice must be contested by means of a reasoned registered letter sent to HOUSE OF WEDDINGS within eight (8) calendar days of the invoice date. Failing this, the invoice shall be deemed to have been definitively accepted by the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL.

Article 6. Complaints and limitation of liability

1. Complaints (time limit and form) – Complaints regarding the Services, publications or invoices must in any event be submitted to HOUSE OF WEDDINGS by email (support@houseofweddings.com) or by registered post within eight (8) calendar days of the grounds for the complaint arising. In the absence of a timely complaint, the service shall be deemed to have been definitively accepted, subject to mandatory law. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS shall be granted a reasonable period to investigate the complaint and, if justified, to improve, correct or re-perform the service. Only if rectification is not reasonably possible may a proportionate price reduction be considered, to the exclusion of other remedies, subject to mandatory law.

2. Responsibility for content and proofreading – In carrying out its assignment, HOUSE OF WEDDINGS shall exercise the normal care expected of a reasonable advertising agency/publisher. However, the content of the partner pages, and any advertising space, appears under the sole responsibility of the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL, which may be checked by HOUSE OF WEDDINGS for conflicts with its general terms and conditions.

3. Limitation of liability – To the extent permitted by law, the contractual and non-contractual liability of HOUSE OF WEDDINGS (including its directors, employees and agents) is in any event limited to direct and foreseeable damage, excluding all indirect and consequential damage (such as loss of turnover, damage to reputation, loss of customers, loss of profit and data), and shall not exceed the annual fee invoiced by HOUSE OF WEDDINGS, whereby the damage suffered must in any event be proven by the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL. Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits HOUSE OF WEDDINGS’ liability to the extent that such exclusion or limitation is not valid under mandatory law, including in cases of wilful misconduct or fraud.

4. Exclusions – HOUSE OF WEDDINGS shall not be liable for any damage arising (directly or indirectly) from: (i) the provision of incorrect, incomplete or late information or materials by the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL, (ii) content that contravenes legislation or the rights of third parties, (iii) technical faults or interruptions to the platform that are not attributable to wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of HOUSE OF WEDDINGS, or (iv) choices regarding layout, placement or visual identity within the editorial discretion of HOUSE OF WEDDINGS.

5. Indemnification by the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL - The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall indemnify HOUSE OF WEDDINGS in all cases against any claims by third parties regarding the information and documentation provided by the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL, in respect of which the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL expressly guarantees to HOUSE OF WEDDINGS, in accordance with the provisions above, that all intellectual property rights relating thereto are vested in the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL.

Article 7. Force majeure

1. Definition – Force majeure is any event beyond the reasonable control of a Party which wholly or partially prevents the performance of its obligations or makes such performance unreasonably onerous, and which cannot be attributed to it (including, but not limited to, strikes, fire, government measures, pandemics, failure of suppliers/hosting providers, cyber incidents, and telecommunications or internet disruptions). Temporary interruptions or disruptions to the online platform (e.g. maintenance, updates, bugs, security measures) may constitute force majeure, provided they are not attributable to wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of HOUSE OF WEDDINGS.

2. Suspension and notification – The Party invoking force majeure shall notify the other Party as soon as possible and shall suspend its obligations for the duration of the force majeure, without any compensation being payable.

3. Duration and termination – If the force majeure situation persists for longer than three (3) months, both HOUSE OF WEDDINGS and the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall be entitled, without being liable for any compensation, to terminate the Agreement by notifying the other party thereof by registered letter.

4. Payment obligations – Suspension due to force majeure shall not affect any payment obligations of the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL that are already due and payable.

Article 8. Early termination and exceptional circumstances

1. Termination due to material breach – The Parties mutually agree that either Party may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect and without observing any notice period or compensation if the other Party is guilty of a material breach of contract which, following written notice of default and the expiry of a reasonable period of ten (10) calendar days for rectification, has not been remedied.

2. Exceptional circumstances – The Parties further agree that the following circumstances shall in any event be regarded as exceptional circumstances justifying early termination of the Agreement with immediate effect and without notice or compensation:

Bankruptcy, judicial reorganisation, liquidation or manifest insolvency of one of the Parties;
Any form of fraudulent conduct or damage to the reputation of the other Party;
Change in the management or ownership of WEDDING PROFESSIONAL without prior notice (see Article 10)

3. The Party against whom the Agreement is terminated shall compensate the other Party for the proven damage, without prejudice to other legal remedies.

Article 9. Consequences following the termination of the Agreement

1. Termination of the right to use the brand/logo – Upon termination of the Agreement for any reason whatsoever, any right that the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL has under this Agreement to use the HOUSE OF WEDDINGS brand and/or logo shall automatically cease. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL is strictly prohibited from continuing to use the HOUSE OF WEDDINGS brand and/or logo after the termination of the Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

2. Obligation to remove – The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall, within seven (7) calendar days of the termination of the Agreement at the latest, remove all use of the brand/logo/quality label from all media (website, social media, printed matter, email signatures, advertisements, vehicles, shop windows, etc.) and cease all communication suggesting an ongoing partnership.

3. Fixed compensation for continued use - Upon establishing use in breach of Articles 9.1–9.2, the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall, by operation of law and without prejudice to the right to cease and desist, be liable to pay fixed compensation of €99 per established infringement per calendar week that the use continues (up to a maximum of €990), without prejudice to HOUSE OF WEDDINGS’ right to (i) claim higher actual proven damages and/or (ii) demand an injunction. Payment of this fixed compensation does not confer any right of use and may never be interpreted as consent to continue using the trademark/logo/quality label.

4. Obligation to return items – Upon termination of the Agreement, the Parties shall mutually return to each other all documents and/or other items they may have received from the other party for the purpose of performing the Agreement, or they shall confirm in writing that such items have been destroyed if return is not reasonably possible.

Article 10. Change of management, control or takeover

1. Duty to notify – The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL undertakes to inform HOUSE OF WEDDINGS immediately and in writing of any (proposed or implemented) change that may affect the partnership, including at least: a) a change in the legal structure (merger, demerger, contribution, conversion); b) a change in the (ultimate) shareholder structure or control (direct or indirect); c) a change in directors, managers or day-to-day management; d) a transfer of the business or a substantial part of its activities; e) a change in trade name/brand, registered office or essential contact details.

2. Continuity in the event of a takeover – The Agreement has been entered into on the basis of the identity, quality and reputation of the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL. In the event of a change as referred to in Article 10.1, the Agreement shall automatically continue with the legal successor or transferee, unless HOUSE OF WEDDINGS notifies in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of the notification that it will not continue the collaboration. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL guarantees that the legal successor or transferee undertakes to comply with this Agreement.

3. Right of Review – HOUSE OF WEDDINGS shall be entitled, within thirty (30) calendar days of notification of a change as referred to in Article 10.1: (i) to reconfirm the collaboration unchanged, or (ii) to propose reasonably necessary adjustments to the collaboration (e.g. reclassification of customer category, adjustment of service package/terms and conditions, additional guarantees), or (iii) to terminate the Agreement in accordance with Article 9 if the change substantially undermines trust or the collaboration, or if the duty to notify has not been complied with.

4. Temporary measures – If the change has not been notified (in good time) or if there are objective indications that the change entails risks (including reputation, IP/image rights, payment risk), HOUSE OF WEDDINGS may, pending assessment: (a) (temporarily) suspend the publication, and/or (b) (temporarily) take the partner page offline, without this giving rise to any claim for damages, except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

Article 11. Communication, newsletter and Pro Collective channels

1. Service and contractual communications – HOUSE OF WEDDINGS may use the contact details provided by the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL to send all necessary communications in connection with the performance of the Agreement (including operational notifications, invoicing, technical information, changes to the platform or the partnership, and contractual notices). This communication cannot be opted out of insofar as it is necessary for the performance of the Agreement.

2. Direct marketing – HOUSE OF WEDDINGS may use the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL’s contact details to send promotional communications (including newsletters, offers, events and partner information) on the basis of legitimate interest within the framework of the existing B2B partnership. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL may unsubscribe at any time, free of charge and easily, via the unsubscribe link in every communication or via the specified contact point. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS shall state the option to unsubscribe in every commercial communication.

3. Pro Collective (WhatsApp/messaging service) - By providing a mobile number in the context of the Agreement, the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL consents to being included in HOUSE OF WEDDINGS’ Pro Collective communication channels (including WhatsApp or similar messaging services), which are used for community and partnership updates. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL acknowledges that participation in a group channel may result in the visibility of their number (and profile details) to other participants. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL may opt out at any time free of charge by leaving the group or by notifying HOUSE OF WEDDINGS in writing. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS always provides an alternative channel (email) for those who do not wish to use messaging services.

4. Administrative account access - Under the Agreement, HOUSE OF WEDDINGS may grant the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL access to a personal account or admin portal to manage information and profile details independently on the platform. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL is solely responsible for the confidentiality of their login details and for all actions carried out via their account. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL undertakes to inform HOUSE OF WEDDINGS immediately in the event of (suspected) unauthorised use of their account. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS reserves the right to temporarily suspend or restrict access to the account in the event of suspected misuse, breach of this Agreement, or for technical or security reasons, without this giving rise to any claim for compensation, except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

5. Leads and allocation of roles - Enquiries from couples (leads) are received via the platform and forwarded to the relevant WEDDING PROFESSIONAL for follow-up. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL processes and responds to these requests independently and on their own responsibility. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS acts solely as an intermediary in this process and is not a party to any agreement that may be concluded between the couple and the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS therefore bears no responsibility whatsoever for the content, performance or consequences of such an agreement.

Article 12. Intellectual property, photographs, credits and indemnity

1. Material supplied – The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL warrants that all texts, photographs, videos, logos, trademarks, names, testimonials and other content (the “Material”) supplied by them or at their request: a) are accurate, not misleading and not unlawful; b) do not infringe the rights of third parties (including copyright, related rights, right of publicity, trade mark rights and database rights); and c) that they hold all necessary rights, licences and permissions to allow HOUSE OF WEDDINGS to use and publish the Material.

2. Licence of use granted to HOUSE OF WEDDINGS - The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL grants HOUSE OF WEDDINGS a free, non-exclusive, transferable and sub-licensable licence to use the Material, worldwide, for the duration of the Agreement and thereafter for archiving and reference purposes, to: (i) publish on the platform and any (digital) channels of HOUSE OF WEDDINGS; (ii) use in an editorial and promotional context (including social media, newsletters, presentations, HOUSE OF WEDDINGS advertisements and reference communications); (iii) technically process and adapt for publication (including format changes, compression, cropping, and limited editing without altering the substance of the Material). This licence includes, to the extent necessary, the right to combine the Material with other content or branding of HOUSE OF WEDDINGS.

3. Image rights and privacy – For Material in which individuals are recognisable, the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL guarantees that they hold all necessary image and/or privacy consents for the intended use by HOUSE OF WEDDINGS as described in Article 12.2, including use in a promotional context by HOUSE OF WEDDINGS.

4. Credits and source attribution – If a credit (e.g. photographer, videographer, venue, stylist) is required or agreed, the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall provide the correct credit details in writing together with the Material. HOUSE OF WEDDINGS shall use reasonable endeavours to include these credits wherever practically possible (taking into account layout and channel restrictions). In the absence of correct credit details, HOUSE OF WEDDINGS may publish the Material without credit and shall not be liable for doing so.

5. Proof of rights and takedown – HOUSE OF WEDDINGS may at any time request proof of rights/consents (e.g. licence, model release, photographer’s consent). In the event of (a threat of) a complaint or claim from a third party regarding the Material, HOUSE OF WEDDINGS may immediately remove the Material (temporarily or permanently) or suspend publication, without being liable for compensation. The WEDDING PROFESSIONAL shall provide the requested proof or a solution within a reasonable period (max. 5 working days).

Article 13. General final provisions

1. Any deviating terms, amendments to and/or additions to this Agreement shall only apply if and to the extent that they have been agreed in writing between HOUSE OF WEDDINGS and the WEDDING PROFESSIONAL.

2. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect the validity and/or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. In such a case, the Parties shall commence negotiations as soon as possible in order to amend this Agreement and replace the void and/or unenforceable provision with a new provision that most closely approximates what the parties intended in the clause in question.

3. Provisions which, by their nature, are intended to survive the termination of the Agreement shall remain in force, including at least: payment obligations, intellectual property, limitations of liability, indemnity, dispute resolution and governing law.
