Acceptance of these Terms
These Terms supersede any prior agreements or Terms of Use between you and us, or any of our affiliates. Certain features or products available through the Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions presented to you at the time of use or purchase. For instance, the return policy defined by the vendor, or rules for any contests, sweepstakes, or promotions (collectively, "Promotions") available through the Services, may be governed by separate rules. If you participate in any Promotions, we encourage you to review the applicable rules and our Privacy Notice. In the event of a conflict between the Promotion rules and the Terms, the Promotion rules shall apply. Similarly, if you choose to purchase an item via the Cost My Event platform, please review the vendor’s return policy. If it conflicts with any part of these Terms, the vendor’s return policy shall take precedence.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms at any time, and by continuing to use the Services, you agree to be bound by such modifications or revisions. It is your responsibility to review the Terms periodically, as any changes will be binding upon you. By continuing to access or use the Services after any revisions become effective, you agree to comply with the updated Terms.

Access and Use of Service
The Service is a platform that connects individuals seeking to host events ("Clients") with a community of vendors providing event-related services, including venues ("Vendors") (collectively referred to as "Users," "you," and "your"). Please note: While Cost My Event administers the Service, including features for price estimates and vendor comparisons, Cost My Event is not a party to the services provided by Vendors or any transactions between Clients and Vendors. Cost My Event is not responsible for the performance of services offered by Vendors, nor does it guarantee or endorse the accuracy of any claims made by Vendors regarding their venues or services.
Cost My Event has no control over the performance of any services provided by Vendors, nor does it guarantee the truth or accuracy of any representations made by Vendors. Cost My Event does not vouch for the ability of Vendors to deliver the services or venues as described, nor does it guarantee the Clients' ability to pay for the services or venues offered by Vendors. Clients and Vendors (and not Cost My Event) bear all risks and liabilities associated with any services or transactions between them. Different sections of the Site and these Terms may apply differently to Clients and Vendors, so please ensure you carefully read all terms.
