Wedding Supplier UK – A Venue
Our site is a venue on which users can advertise contract jobs and Suppliers, who are registered with us, are able to tender for these contract jobs. The jobs advertised must not be against any applicable law, or contrary to any aspect of these terms and conditions. We take no responsibility for the truth or accuracy of any job description or the ability of any particular user to pay for the job to be completed. We take no responsibility for the ability of any Supplier to complete any aspect of a job that a Supplier tenders for. Do not assume that jobs or any related activities are legal, simply because they are listed on our site. Users accept the sole responsibility for the legality of their actions under laws applying to themselves.
Checks on Suppliers
Although we cannot, and do not guarantee work done by Suppliers that you find via our site, we have a measure in place which will help you judge the reputation of a particular Supplier.
We collect feedback on each of our registered Suppliers on an ongoing basis. The public client will be able to view the feedback of a particular Supplier who tenders for his or her job. The public client will also receive instructions on how to provide feedback on the Supplier in the case that the Supplier does undertake the job in question.
Supplier registration eligibility
Users must be over the age of eighteen to register for our referral service or free/basic listing in our directory. We send emails to all persons that register to be listed on our site to view a preview of their listing before it is added to our directory in order that amendments can be made. In the event that the preview is not approved after 7 days we will add the listing to our directory with the assumption that the listing is accurate and that you wanted your company listed on the website without approving the listing. We at our discretion may add your business details and Free/Premium/Pro/Basic listing to other websites.
