The Services provide a platform where venue and event professionals (“Vendors”) can provide information about their services (“Vendor Services”) to interested Site visitors (“Visitors”) and event planners procuring such services (“Event Planners”). Visitors, Vendors and Event Planners may sometimes be collectively referred to as “Users” in these Terms of Service.
Users.
Visitors. Visitors are people who explore the Site to obtain information about Vendors and Vendor Services. No login is required for Visitors to browse the Site. Visitors can access all publicly-available content and features of the Site, and can contact us using the contact link on the Site.
Event Planners. Like Visitors, Event Planners use the Site to obtain information about Vendors and Vendor Services. However, Event Planners also establish a User account with us so that they may upload resumes, publish personal brand portfolios and access additional content, tools and functionality on the Site.
Vendors. Vendors use the Site to promote their businesses and connect with Event Planners looking to engage them for their Vendor Services. In order to become a Vendor you must establish a User account with us.
User Accounts. Vendry is under no obligation to accept any individual or entity as an account holder, and may accept or reject any registration in our sole and complete discretion. To create a User account, you or your authorized representative will be prompted to create a password and user name (“Vendry User ID”) and perhaps provide certain additional information that will assist in authenticating your identity when you log-in in the future (collectively “Login Credentials”). You may not transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written permission. When creating your account, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself. Each Vendry User ID and corresponding password can be used by only one individual. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account Login Credentials.

Whether inside or outside of the United States, you are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with the laws of your specific jurisdiction.
This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
This Section 11 and Section 12 below only apply to Vendors and Event Planners who have accepted this Agreement.
In the event of a dispute arising between you and Vendry under or relating to this Agreement or the Services (not a dispute between Users) (each, a “Dispute”), either you or Vendry may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party. IF EITHER YOU OR VENDRY CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT RULES AND IF WITHIN
SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by you and Vendry, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each of you and Vendry will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States county where you reside. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. As set forth in Section 20 below, nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.
You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement. We may, without waiving any other remedies under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Manhattan, New York for purposes of any such action by us. 14. DISPUTES BETWEEN AND AMONG USERS. If there is a dispute between or among Users of the Services, you agree to initiate the dispute with Vendry directly. Vendry will take steps to mediate the User dispute in its sole, reasonable
discretion. Vendry will keep each party updated as to the status of disputes by messaging the parties through the accounts on the Service. Notwithstanding Vendry’s good faith efforts, some disputes may not be resolved in a manner that satisfies all parties. Vendry’s decision with respect to all disputes is final. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other Users, you release Vendry, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services.

You should contact the site administrator or webmaster for those External Sites if you have any concerns regarding such links or any content located on such External Sites. We are not responsible for the content of any linked External Sites and do not make any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such External Sites.

By accessing the Services after we make any such changes to these Terms of Service, you are deemed to have accepted such changes. Please refer back to these Terms of Service on a regular basis.
No failure or delay by Vendry in exercising any right or remedy under the Agreement will operate, or be deemed to operate, as a waiver of any such right or remedy. If any provision of the Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be amended and the remainder of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. The Agreement constitutes the final and complete agreement between you and Vendry regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, or agreements between us, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements. Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to limit or interpret the meaning of any of the provisions of the Agreement. Terms which by their nature are intended to survive indefinitely shall survive and shall apply to you even if you have canceled your account or stopped using the Services, including, without limitation, the limitations of liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution provisions.
