PURCHASES
Consent to Processing; International Use
By providing any personal information to the Site, all users, including without limitation users in the European Union, fully understand and unambiguously consent to the collection and processing of such information in the United States. For further information data, please see our privacy policy.
We control and operate the Site from our offices in the United States, and all information is processed within the United States or at the location of our service providers. We do not represent that materials on the Site are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States. Persons who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their own initiative, and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
The Buyer is responsible for determining the value, condition and authenticity of the Items being purchased, to pay the purchase price to the Seller including any sales tax, VAT or import/export duties, and other taxes with the purchase and sale of any items through the Site. Buyers agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with their use of the Site. The Site may be used only for lawful purposes and in a lawful manner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside as well as the restrictions on import or export of Items from the Seller’s country to your country.
To complete a purchase, Buyers must have a valid credit card or PayPal account. Upon purchase confirmation, you irrevocably authorize EWedded to process payment of the total purchase price. EWedded or a third-party payment processor may store your credit card information or PayPal email address (not password). EWedded may verify your payment information (including expiration date, billing address, or photo identification). Your credit card or PayPal will not be charged unless you conduct an activity through the Service that requires your credit card to be charged. By agreeing to pay for a transaction with your credit card, you are authorizing EWedded to charge your card or PayPal account. Also by making a cash offer or counteroffer, you authorize us to place a hold on your card, and then charge your card if the offer is accepted. The hold will be removed once the offer or counteroffer expires.
EWedded has the right to cancel any transaction at any time between seller and buyer. In this case, the buyer will be refunded in full and the seller will be refunded the seller's fee if the item purchased has not been shipped yet to buyer.
You acknowledge that temporary interruptions in the availability of the Site may occur from time to time as normal events.
Also, we may decide to cease making available the Site or any portion of the Site at any time and for any reason. Under no circumstances will EWedded or the Sellers be held liable for any damages due to such interruptions or lack of availability.
Because some of the Items displayed on the Site are unique and are offered by Sellers that usually have retail opportunities for the sale of the Item independent from EWedded, all Items displayed on the Site are offered for sale strictly subject to availability.
MARKETPLACE ONLY
EWedded is a VENUE
We only provide an online marketplace to facilitate sales. The Site acts as a venue to allow qualified sellers to sell goods to buyers. We are not involved in the actual transaction between members. EWedded does not obtain title to any purchased items and does not act as the buyer or seller or agent of such. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the item swapped or sold, the truth or accuracy of the listings, or the ability of members to fulfill their transactional obligations. We cannot ensure that other users will actually complete a transaction or guarantee the ability or intent of users to fulfill their obligation in any transactions. EWedded reserves the right to delay completion of any transaction for a reasonably period of time for purposes of fraud detection and otherwise protecting EWedded and its users from wrongful or illegal activities. Consequently, we do not transfer legal ownership of items from the seller to the buyer, and nothing in this agreement shall modify the governing provisions of DC Code DC St. § 28-401(2) and Uniform Com. Code § 2-401(2), under which legal ownership of an item is transferred upon physical delivery of the item to the buyer by the seller. We are not responsible for the bad acts of other users, including, but not limited to, any tortuous conduct or criminal activities. EWedded is not affiliated with or endorsed by any designer, manufacturer, retailer or brand of items that are on EWedded’s marketplace. You understand that there are risks when dealing with other users and that these risks are borne by you.
For every transaction that occurs through this Site, you (sellers) agree to make an independent determination regarding the product descriptions, photos or video, or representations of other users and the other user's ability to pay or deliver item(s) offered. Of course, you may contact EWedded for more information; however, you understand that EWedded is only providing an opinion to assist with your independent determination. By providing an opinion, EWedded is not admitting to any responsibility for other users' actions as stated above.
User Identity
We use many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide us when they register on the Site. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, EWedded cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity. Thus, we have established a member review (feedback) system to help you evaluate with whom you are dealing. We also encourage you to communicate directly with potential trading partners through the tools available on the Site.
Member Disputes Release
Because we are a marketplace, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release EWedded (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, successors, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and
consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
No Information Control
We do not control the information provided by other users that is made available through our system. You agree that reliance on listings or other communications posted on the Site by other members will be at your own risk. You may find other user's information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. Please use caution, common sense, and practice safe trading when using the Site. Please note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons or people acting under false pretense. By using this Site, you agree to accept such risks and EWedded is not responsible for the acts or omissions of users on the Site.
EWedded may make available to users of the Site message system, message boards, opinion forums, bulletin board services or other interactive communication facilities. EWedded cannot review all communications made on or through the Site. However, EWedded reserves the right to monitor all messages and communications and edit, modify or delete any materials which EWedded in its sole discretion determines to violate this Agreement or to be in any other way offensive or contrary to any EWedded policy, either written or unwritten. EWedded further reserves the right to use posted materials for its own purposes for marketing, communication, advertising, or any other purpose at the sole discretion of EWedded. You agree not to use EWedded forums for the posting of any material that is illegal, threatening, sexually explicit, pornographic, obscene, infringing on intellectual property rights, injurious to third parties, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable.
Returns: Return policy varies depending on the item. If the item you received is not as described or damaged, then you must report the issue to EWedded by emailing contact@ewedded.com within 48 hours of delivery of the purchased item.

EWedded can change the requirements of the referral program and may at any time terminate the program. EWedded reserves the right to limit the number and/or amounts of credits that may be earned with respect to any existing users with or without notice to you. To be eligible for a credit, the new users must be a person that has never registered for the Service before and the device being used must not be associated with an existing EWedded account. In addition, any credit granted cannot be traded for cash or any other service. We reserve the right to void any credits that we believe in our sole discretion are a result of fraud or other misuse of this program or the Agreement.

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, OUR SUBSIDIARIES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR OUR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OUR SITE, OUR SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT (HOWEVER ARISING, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE).
OUR LIABILITY, AND THE LIABILITY OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS, TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTIES IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT OF FEES YOU PAY TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACTION GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, AND (B) $100. Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the Agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue use of the service.
INDEMNITY & RELEASE
You agree to release, indemnify and hold EWedded and its affiliates and their officers, employees, directors and agent harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Service (including any sale or purchase of any items through the Service), any User Content, your connection to the Service, your violation of these Terms of Service or your violation of any rights of another. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.
LEGAL COMPLIANCE
You shall comply with all applicable domestic and international laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding your use of our service including, but not limited to, listing, communicating, selling, and purchasing items on the Site.
NO AGENCY
You and EWedded are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.
COMPETITOR USE PROHIBITED
This Site and the associated service are to be used for non-competitive purposes only. Use of the Site or associated service by competing businesses, affiliates, employees, or other associates is absolutely prohibited and constitutes a breach of this contract, giving rise to substantial damages.
If you are an owner, employee or other associate of a competing site (other than simply a member), you hereby agree that damages from the unlicensed visitation of this site are difficult to compute. Damages from breach of this competitor use provision shall therefore be set at $100 per unauthorized Site visit. You hereby agree that such damages are a reasonable estimate of actual damages and you waive your right to contest these damages in a court of law or other proceeding.
NOTICES
Except as explicitly stated otherwise, any notices shall be given by postal mail to EWedded Attn: Legal Department, EWedded (in the case of EWedded) or to the email address you provide to EWedded during the registration process (in your case). Notice shall be deemed given 24 hours after email is sent, unless the sending party is notified that the email address is invalid. Alternatively, we may give you notice by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, to the address provided to EWedded during the registration process. In such case, notice shall be deemed given 3 days after the date of mailing.
DISPUTE WITH EWedded
In the event a dispute arises between you and EWedded, our goal is to provide you with a neutral, cost effective and speedy resolution. Accordingly, you and EWedded agree that any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or our services ("Claims") shall be resolved in accordance with one of the subsections below or as otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution and we will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation, as an alternative to litigation. If EWedded is found to be liable, you agree that its liability to you or to any third party is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to EWedded in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to the liability, or (b) $100.
Binding Arbitration
For any Claim (excluding Claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, you or EWedded may elect to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration conducted by telephone, on-line and/or based solely upon written submissions where no in-person appearance is required. In such cases, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or JAMS in accordance with their applicable rules, or any other established ADR provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Court
Alternatively, any Claim may be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Chesapeake, VA. You and EWedded agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Chesapeake, VA.
Commencement of Cause of Action
You agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Service must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Alternatively, EWedded will consider use of other alternative forms of dispute resolution, such as binding arbitration to be held in Chesapeake, VA or another location mutually agreed upon by the parties.
All Claims (excluding requests for injunctive or equitable relief) between the parties must be resolved using the dispute resolution mechanism that is selected in accordance with this Section by the first party to file a Claim. Should either party file an action contrary to this section, the other party may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $1000, provided that the party seeking the award has notified the other party in writing of the improperly filed Claim, and the other party has failed to withdraw the Claim.
