WedBuzz Terms of Use

Date of Last Revision: February 1, 2008.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS.

WedBuzz.com ("Site") is operated by GSD Enterprises, Inc. (collectively, "us", "we" or "WedBuzz"). By accessing or using the Site or by posting on the Site, you ("User") agree that you have read, understand and will be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms of Use").

WedBuzz reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms of Use at any time without further notice. If we do this, we will post the changes to these Terms of Use on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised. Your continued use of the Site after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. If you do not agree to abide by these or any future Terms of Use, do not use or access (or continue to use or access) the Site. It is your responsibility to regularly check the Site to determine if there have been changes to these Terms of Use and to review such changes.

WedBuzz has the right at any time to change or discontinue any aspect of the Site, including, but not limited to, the community areas, content, hours of availability and equipment needed for access to use. Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions will be effective immediately upon posting and any subsequent use by you after such posting will conclusively be deemed to be acceptance by you of such changes, modifications or deletions.


Registration Data; Account Security

If you register as a User of this Site, you will choose a password associated with your email address, which you will use to login to the Site. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password, and responsible for all activities that occur under account. You agree to notify WedBuzz of any unauthorized use of your account or other breach of security.

Once a vendor has been identified by a User on the Site, the vendor may create an account and become a User. Through this account, the vendor may access the page associated with that vendor in order to make comments, post pictures, add contact information and respond to customer comments, among other things. All postings of any kind by a vendor must be clearly identified as vendor postings. If at any time we believe that any posting has not been so identified, or if the vendor has not complied with these Terms of Use, we will block such vendor from his, her or its account and such vendor will no longer be allowed to edit any relevant vendor page. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Use, any vendor with an account is a User and must comply with all of the provisions of these Terms of Use.

You will (a) provide accurate, current and complete information about you as may be prompted by any registration forms on the Site ("Registration Data"); (b) maintain the security of your password and identification; (c) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, and any other information you provide to WedBuzz, to keep it accurate, current and complete; and (d) be fully responsible for all use of your account and for any actions that take place using your account.

All WedBuzz Content is protected by copyright and owned, controlled or licensed by WedBuzz or the party credited as the provider of the Content. You will abide by all additional copyright notices, information or restrictions contained in any Content accessed through the Site.

No WedBuzz Content may be modified, copied, distributed, framed, reproduced, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted, transmitted, or sold in any form or by any means, in whole or in part, without WedBuzz's prior written permission, except that the foregoing does not apply to your own User Content (as defined below) that you legally post on the Site.

Users who comply in all respects with these Terms of Use are granted a limited license to access and use the Site and the WedBuzz Content and to download or print a copy of any portion of the WedBuzz Content to which you have properly gained access solely for your personal use provided that you keep all copyright or other proprietary notices intact.

Any use of the Site or the WedBuzz Content other than as specifically authorized in these Terms of Use, without the prior written permission of WedBuzz, is strictly prohibited and will terminate the license granted in these Terms of Use. Such unauthorized use may also violate applicable laws including copyright and trademark laws and applicable communications regulations and statutes. Unless explicitly stated in these Terms of Use, nothing in these Terms of Use will be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. This license is revocable at any time without notice and with or without cause.

The Site may contain advice, opinions, and statements of various vendors. The Site is not intended to constitute legal or professional advice, which is always fact specific.

In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Mobile Services may be prohibited or restricted by your carrier, and not all Mobile Services may work with all carriers or devices. You should check with your carrier to find out if the Mobile Services are available for your mobile devices, and what restrictions, if any, may be applicable to your use of such MobileServices.
