1. THE WED is a Neutral Platform
The Site is an innovative community and directory for the wedding industry. THE WED is not a wedding product or service provider , wedding vendor or an agent representative. Site includes “Vendors”(Vendor Members) — professionals, brands, companies and other third parties offering products and services related to Weddings. We and the Site function solely as a neutral venue and digital magazine where customers from outside may find Vendors and may connect for a particular type of service or product. We are not involved in or a party to the actual transaction between customers and Vendors. As a result, We have no control over the quality, accuracy, safety, or legality of the transactions that take place between them, the accuracy of listings, or the ability of Vendors to provide items or services and We or our affiliates are not responsible for the actions or inactions of Vendor Members.
