The vendor agreement.

01Parties

This Agreement is between Brides Venues Pte. Ltd. and the vendor that accepts these terms by registering a vendor account or signing the digital agreement in the dashboard (“you”, “Vendor”).

02Eligibility

To register as a Vendor you must:

• Be a legal entity (or sole proprietor) duly registered in your jurisdiction.
• Hold all licences and permits required to provide your services.
• Maintain professional indemnity and public liability insurance appropriate to your service line, of not less than USD 500,000 per occurrence.
• Comply with all tax obligations in the jurisdictions you serve.

03Listings and content

You retain all intellectual property rights in your listing content (text, photos, portfolio). You grant Brides Venues a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to use, display, format, and promote that content on the platform and in marketing channels owned or operated by Brides Venues (including social media, email newsletters, editorial features).

You warrant that you own or are licensed to use all uploaded content and that it does not infringe any third-party right.

04Marketplace fee

Brides Venues charges a marketplace fee of ten percent (10%) of the total invoice value on bookings originated through the platform. The fee is deducted from the payout (see Section 5) and is non-refundable except where the booking is fully refunded under the Cancellation & Refund Policy, in which case the marketplace fee is also refunded.

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

Funds collected on confirmed bookings are released to the Vendor according to the following schedule:

• Deposit: released within seven (7) business days after the deposit clears, less the proportional marketplace fee.
• Final balance: released within seven (7) business days after the wedding date, less the proportional marketplace fee and any agreed deductions.

Payouts are made by bank transfer to the account designated in your dashboard. You are responsible for keeping payout details current. Brides Venues is not liable for funds delayed or misdirected because of incorrect payout details on your account.

06Service standards

You agree to:

• Respond to inquiries within forty-eight (48) hours.
• Honour the prices and inclusions stated in your listings.
• Deliver services with the standard of skill and care customary for premium suppliers in your category.
• Communicate with couples respectfully and professionally.
• Notify Brides Venues immediately of any incident that may affect a booking.

Brides Venues monitors response time, completion rate, and review scores. Persistent failure to meet these standards may result in suspension or removal from the platform.

07Anti-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 to avoid the marketplace fee. This includes accepting direct payment, encouraging the couple to cancel the platform booking, or referring the couple to a sister entity.

Breach of this clause 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.

08Data 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), to use it only for the booking, and not to add couples to marketing lists without their separate consent.

09Term 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 (breach, fraud, insolvency, reputational damage).

On termination, your listings are unpublished. You remain bound by Sections 4 (Marketplace fee), 5 (Payouts), 7 (Anti-circumvention), and 8 (Data protection) for any bookings outstanding at the termination date.

10Indemnity

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

11Governing 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.

12Acceptance

You accept this Agreement by signing it digitally in your dashboard. A countersigned record is retained by Brides Venues and is available to you on request from legal@bridesvenues.com.
