Terms of Use

Effective date: May 18, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you and Ladybug Creative Company, LLC (“The Planned Wedding,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of theplannedwedding.com and all related websites, mobile applications, tools, features, content, communications, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account, clicking to accept these Terms, or accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Service.

1. About the Service

The Service is a wedding planning software tool designed to help users organize guest lists, vendors, budgets, timelines, seating arrangements, communications, and other aspects of wedding planning.

The Service is provided for personal, non-commercial use by individuals planning their own wedding unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.

The Service is licensed, not sold. Payment of any fee gives you a limited right to access and use the Service during the applicable license period only, and does not create any perpetual or lifetime right to access or use the Service.

The Service is an organizational and informational tool only. We are not a wedding vendor, venue, booking agent, broker, event planner, financial adviser, legal adviser, or other professional adviser. We do not guarantee the availability, quality, pricing, suitability, legality, or performance of any vendor, venue, product, service, or third-party offering referenced in or through the Service.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service.

By creating an account or using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities conducted through your account. You must notify us promptly if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account.

3. License Grant and License Period

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of any applicable fee, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial wedding planning purposes for a period of twenty-four (24) months beginning on the date your purchase is completed or your access is otherwise activated, unless a different license period is expressly stated by us in writing at the time of purchase.

Your license continues until the earliest of:

Unless we expressly state otherwise in writing, payment of a one-time fee does not mean you receive lifetime access, perpetual access, or any right to continued access beyond the applicable license period.

In limited cases, we may, in our sole discretion, grant an extension of the license period due to extraordinary circumstances. Any such extension is a courtesy only, will be subject to any conditions we choose to apply, and will not create any obligation to provide the same or a similar extension to any other user.

We may offer different license periods, plans, or access levels from time to time, and the scope and duration of your access will be determined by the specific offering you purchase.

4. Checkout and Purchase Disclosures

Unless we expressly state otherwise at the time of purchase, your one-time payment provides access to the Service for one twenty-four (24) month license period only. Your purchase does not include lifetime or perpetual access.

We recommend that this same disclosure also appears clearly on the checkout page, order summary, and any pricing or FAQ page describing the Service. A consumer-facing version may read:

One-time payment. Includes 24 months of access to The Planned Wedding from the date of purchase or activation. No subscription. No automatic renewal. Access ends at the end of the license period unless we choose to extend access in extraordinary circumstances.

5. User Content and Third-Party Information

As between you and us, you retain ownership of the information, text, images, files, lists, guest information, vendor information, notes, communications, and other content you upload, submit, store, or create through the Service (“User Content”).

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt, display, transmit, and otherwise use User Content as necessary to provide, maintain, secure, improve, and support the Service, to develop related features and functionality, to respond to support requests, and to comply with legal obligations and enforce these Terms.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and for ensuring that you have all rights, permissions, notices, and consents necessary to provide it to us and to use it through the Service. You must not upload, store, or transmit User Content that:

You are also responsible for any personal information about third parties that you enter into the Service, including ensuring that your collection and use of that information complies with applicable privacy, data protection, and communications laws.

We may remove, disable access to, review, or refuse to display User Content if we reasonably believe it violates these Terms, creates risk for us or others, or may expose us or others to liability.

6. Fees, Payments, and Refunds

If any part of the Service is offered for a one-time fee or other fee-based access model, you agree to pay all fees and charges presented to you at the time of purchase.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment processors. By providing payment information, you authorize us and our payment processors to charge the applicable payment method for amounts due in connection with your purchase.

Unless we expressly state otherwise at the time of purchase, fees are charged on a one-time basis for the applicable license period and do not automatically renew.

Except as required by applicable law or expressly stated by us in writing, fees are non-refundable. We may suspend or terminate access to paid features if payment cannot be processed, is reversed, is disputed, or is later determined to be unauthorized or fraudulent.

7. Affiliate Links, Third-Party Services, and Vendors

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, vendors, products, services, and resources, including affiliate links. We may receive commissions or other compensation if you click on certain links or make purchases through them.

Any interactions, transactions, communications, or disputes between you and a third party are solely between you and that third party. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, websites, services, products, vendors, privacy practices, or terms.

The inclusion of any third-party listing, recommendation, referral, or link does not constitute our endorsement, guarantee, or warranty.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, functionality, text, graphics, logos, trademarks, and other content provided by us, is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by intellectual property and other laws.

Except for the limited right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms, no license or right is granted to you by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

We do not guarantee that the Service will always be available, uninterrupted, timely, secure, accurate, complete, or error-free. You are responsible for maintaining your own copies of important information submitted to the Service.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss of data, deletion of content, delays, outages, service interruptions, technical failures, or the expiration of any license period.

11. Expiration of Access and Export Window

When your license period ends, your right to access and use the Service will end, except that we may allow you a limited post-expiration period of thirty (30) days solely to download or export your User Content using any export functionality we make available.

During this post-expiration export window, we may limit your account to read-only access or otherwise restrict functionality so that you may retrieve your information but not continue active use of the Service.

After the export window ends, we may disable access to your account and delete or de-identify User Content and associated account data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and internal retention practices. We are not obligated to maintain User Content indefinitely, so you are responsible for exporting any information you wish to keep before the export window expires.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Chicago, Illinois, and each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of those courts, except to the extent applicable law requires otherwise.

If you prefer arbitration language instead of court jurisdiction, replace this section with an arbitration provision tailored to your preferred jurisdiction and consumer-law requirements.

20. General Terms

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

These Terms, together with any policies expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
