Promotional or Unpaid Business Memberships

Memberships are automatically renewed on an annual basis. You may cancel at anytime by contacting Sales Support at info@insideweddings.com.

Jurisdiction
These Terms, and the relationship between you and us, will be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. Inside Weddings does not represent or warrant that the Site or any part thereof is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction other than the United States. In choosing to access the Site, you do so on your own initiative and at your own risk, and you are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations. We may limit the Site's availability, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, you and we nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to intentions reflected in such provision, and the other provisions of these terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect.
ARBITRATION
Since we prefer to find ways to provide customer satisfaction, we believe we will be able to resolve most Site disputes or issues you may have in a quick and efficient manner. Before initiating any arbitration proceeding, you agree to first discuss the matter informally with us for no less than 60 days. To do that, please send us your full name, contact information, your concern, and proposed solution to us by mail at: Legal Department, Inside Weddings, 7119 W. Sunset Blvd. #508, Los Angeles, CA 90046.
If we are unable to mutually agree upon a resolution after the 60-day period, you agree that any claim you may have against us regarding these Terms or our Site and services will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by JAMS and governed by the then current JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. It is important to us that we address any issues you might have promptly. In an effort to do so, you agree to begin any arbitration within one year of the date your claim arose; otherwise, your claim is waived. As an exception to this arbitration agreement, we are happy to give you the right to pursue in small claims court any claim that is within that court's jurisdiction as long as you proceed only on an individual basis.
We prefer to resolve our issues with you directly and, accordingly, you agree to arbitrate with us only in your individual capacity, not as a representative or member of a class. As such, your claims may not be joined with any other claims and there will be no authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or brought by a purported class representative.
You agree that arbitration will be exclusively held in Los Angeles County, California and that each party will be responsible for its own costs, including paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. In order to select an arbitrator, each party agrees to provide a list of two available arbitrators that have experience with the subject matter. Each party may strike one of the names on the other party’s list. The parties will select an arbitrator out of the remaining two arbitrator names. If the parties cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, JAMS will choose the arbitrator randomly from the two remaining arbitrators. It is important that you understand that the arbitrator's decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
