The host agreement.

01Parties

This Agreement is between Brides Venues Pte. Ltd. and the venue host that accepts these terms in the dashboard (“you”, “Host”).

02Authority to list

You warrant that:

• You own the venue or have written authority from the owner to list it for events.
• The venue holds all permits required to host weddings (zoning, fire safety, food service, noise, alcohol).
• You maintain public liability insurance of not less than USD 2,000,000 per occurrence.
• You have settled all taxes and licence fees relevant to operating the venue.

Brides Venues may, at its discretion, request copies of permits and insurance certificates before publishing a listing.

03Listing content

You retain ownership of your listing content (photographs, virtual tours, descriptions, pricing) and grant Brides Venues a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to display, format, and promote that content on the platform and on marketing channels owned or operated by Brides Venues (social, email, editorial).

You warrant that the content does not infringe any third-party right and that you hold the necessary releases for any people depicted. You agree to keep the content current — date availability, pricing, and inclusions must be accurate at the time a couple sends an inquiry.

04Marketplace fee

Brides Venues charges a marketplace fee of ten percent (10%) of the total invoice value on bookings originated through the platform. This is the only fee charged to you on a booking. It is deducted from the payout (see Section 5) and is non-refundable except where the booking is fully refunded under the Cancellation & Refund Policy.

The platform fee may be modified on thirty (30) days’ notice for new bookings. Existing confirmed bookings retain the fee in effect at the time of confirmation.

05Payouts

• Deposit: released to your designated bank account within seven (7) business days after the deposit clears, less the proportional marketplace fee.
• Balance: released within seven (7) business days after the wedding date, less the proportional marketplace fee.
• Security deposit (if applicable): released within thirty (30) days after the wedding date, less any agreed deductions for damage or excess cleaning.

You are responsible for keeping your payout details current. Brides Venues is not liable for funds delayed or misdirected because of incorrect payout details.

06Availability and overbooking

Date availability shown on the platform is the source of truth for inquiries. You agree not to take an off-platform booking for a date shown as available on Brides Venues without first updating the platform calendar.

If two confirmed bookings collide because of overbooking, the earlier-confirmed booking takes priority. The Host bears the cost of relocating, refunding, or compensating the affected couple.

07Service standards

You agree to:

• Respond to inquiries within twenty-four (24) hours during business days.
• Deliver the venue in the condition described in the listing.
• Provide an on-site coordinator on the wedding day.
• Comply with all applicable safety, food hygiene, and licensing requirements.
• Notify Brides Venues immediately of any incident that may affect a booking (weather damage, supplier failure, licensing change).

08Anti-circumvention

Once a couple has been introduced to you through Brides Venues, you may not for a period of twenty-four (24) months take that booking off-platform. This includes accepting direct payment, encouraging the couple to cancel the platform booking, or referring the couple to a sister entity.

Breach entitles Brides Venues to liquidated damages equal to twenty percent (20%) of the total invoice value of the off-platform booking, plus reasonable legal costs.

09Cancellation by the Host

If you cancel a confirmed booking, you must (a) refund the couple in full through the platform, including any non-recoverable payment fees, and (b) co-operate with Brides Venues’ concierge to relocate the couple to a comparable venue, including covering any reasonable uplift in cost for an equivalent date and standard.

Repeated Host-initiated cancellations may result in suspension or removal from the platform.

10Data protection

When a couple is introduced to you through Brides Venues, you become an independent data controller of the personal data shared with you for the purpose of fulfilling that booking. You agree to process that data in accordance with applicable data protection law (GDPR / UK GDPR / UU PDP) and to use it only for the booking.

11Term and termination

This Agreement runs from the date you accept it and continues until terminated. Either party may terminate for convenience on thirty (30) days’ notice in writing. Brides Venues may terminate immediately for cause (material breach, fraud, insolvency, reputational damage).

On termination, your listings are unpublished. You remain bound by Sections 4 (Marketplace fee), 5 (Payouts), 6 (Availability), 8 (Anti-circumvention), and 10 (Data protection) for any bookings outstanding at the termination date.

12Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Brides Venues against any claim by a couple, guest, supplier, or third party arising out of (a) the operation of the venue, (b) breach of this Agreement, or (c) infringement of any third-party right by your listing content.

13Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Singapore. Disputes are resolved by SIAC arbitration in accordance with Section 13 of the Terms of Service.

14Acceptance

You accept this Agreement by signing it digitally at your host dashboard. A countersigned record (signature, full name, IP address, timestamp, version of the document) is retained by Brides Venues and is available to you on request.
