Terms of Use | PA Wedding Guide
Plain-Language Summary

By using PA Wedding Guide, you agree to these terms. Vendors are responsible for the content they submit to their listings. Couples use the directory to find wedding professionals — we're not a party to any transaction between you. We use daily pro-rated refunds if you cancel a paid membership. Pennsylvania law governs any disputes. Read on for the full details.

PA Wedding Guide reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Site after any changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

4. Vendor Memberships and Billing

Membership Tiers

PA Wedding Guide offers paid vendor memberships at the following annual rates:

  • Basic: $465/year
  • Standard: $775/year
  • Premium: $1,290/year

Promotional pricing, including Founding Member discounts, may be offered from time to time and is subject to the specific terms disclosed at the time of purchase. All promotional pricing is applied at checkout and requires a valid promotional code where applicable.

Billing and Renewal

Membership fees are billed annually and paid in full at the start of each billing cycle. By purchasing a membership, you authorize PA Wedding Guide to charge your payment method on file for the applicable annual fee. Memberships automatically renew at the end of each annual term unless cancelled in accordance with the cancellation policy below.

Refund and Cancellation Policy

PA Wedding Guide offers refunds on a daily pro-rated basis. If you cancel your membership at any point during your annual term, you are entitled to a refund calculated based on the number of unused days remaining in your current billing cycle. The per-day value is calculated by dividing your annual membership fee by 365.

To cancel your membership, contact us at [email protected]. Cancellations take effect upon confirmation from PA Wedding Guide. Refunds, where applicable, will be returned to the original payment method within 10 business days.

PA Wedding Guide reserves the right to terminate a vendor membership at any time for violation of these Terms. In the event that PA Wedding Guide initiates termination without cause, a pro-rated refund will be issued for the unused portion of the membership term.
