1. Agreement
These terms govern your use of Cut the Cake (the “Service”), available at cutthecake.co. By creating an account, sending an invitation, or responding to one, you agree to them. If you are agreeing on behalf of a business, you confirm you have authority to bind it.
2. Accounts
You must be at least 18 to use the Service. Keep your sign-in credentials to yourself; you are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has access to it.
3. Free allowance and subscriptions
- A host account may publish one event free, with full access to every feature, and send invitations to up to 50 distinct email addresses. We do not ask for a card. The published event and its guest page stay available on the same terms as any other event.
- Publishing beyond that allowance, and sending invitations to additional addresses, requires a paid subscription at $10 per month or $95 per year for individual hosts, or the agreed plan for venues and organizations.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period — yearly or monthly, whichever you chose — unless canceled before the renewal date. You can cancel at any time from your account settings — or tell us through our contact form — and keep access until the end of the paid period.
- If you cancel within 14 days of a charge and haven’t sent invitations in that period, email us and we’ll refund it.
- We may change prices, but not mid-term: any change applies from your next renewal, and we’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice.
4. Your content
You keep ownership of everything you upload. Your event details, your photos, your words, your guest list. You grant us the limited license needed to host, process and display that content in order to run the Service for you. We do not use your content to advertise to your guests and we do not sell it.
5. Your guest list
This is the important one. When you upload contact details for guests, you confirm that you have a genuine relationship with those people and a lawful basis to contact them about your event. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you, including anti-spam and telemarketing rules.
You may not use Cut the Cake to send unsolicited bulk messages, to contact purchased or scraped lists, or to message people who have asked you to stop. Doing so is grounds for immediate suspension — it also puts every other customer’s delivery at risk, which is why we take it seriously.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Upload content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, or infringes someone else’s rights.
- Attempt to access another customer’s events, guest lists or content.
- Probe, scan, or interfere with the Service, or use it to distribute malware.
- Resell or white-label the Service without a written agreement with us.
- Scrape the Service or use automated means to extract data beyond what our export tools provide.
7. Guests
If you are responding to an invitation, these terms apply to your use of the Service too. Your relationship about the event itself is with the host, not with us: we don’t run the party, control the guest list, or decide who is invited.
8. SMS terms
Cut the Cake text messages are sent by Sopris, LLC DBA Cut the Cake. They are about a single event, and only to a guest who asked for them by checking the unchecked text-message box on that event’s RSVP form or on their account page. Consent is not a condition of attending or of sending an RSVP.
- What you receive: a confirmation when you sign up, updated RSVP confirmations, reminders, a thank-you, and notifications of messages from your host about that event. No marketing messages.
- How often: message frequency varies. Earlier consent promising up to 5 messages per event keeps that limit unless you accept the updated consent.
- Message and data rates may apply.
- Help: reply HELP to any message, or reach us through our contact form.
- Stopping: reply STOP to any message to stop all further texts. You will receive one confirmation and nothing after it. Reply START to receive them again.
- Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Sign-in codes. If you add a mobile number to your account for sign-in codes and confirm it, you may ask for a one-time sign-in code by text. One message per request, sent for us by Twilio Verify. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to a sign-in code to stop them, or HELP for help; removing the number from your account also stops them. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Sign-in by email remains available at all times.
Invitation codes. If a host listed your mobile number on their invitation, you may ask on its sign-in screen for a one-time code by text that opens that invitation only. One message per request, sent for us by Twilio Verify. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to a code to stop them, or HELP for help. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Our messaging policy has the detail, and our privacy policy says how we handle your number: mobile numbers and text-message consent are never shared with third parties for marketing.
9. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, that creates legal risk for us, or that is being used to abuse recipients. We will give notice and an opportunity to fix things where it is reasonable to do so. You can close your account at any time. Before you do, you can download a copy of your events from your account.
10. Availability
We work hard to keep the Service up, particularly on the days our customers are actually hosting events, but we do not promise uninterrupted availability. We may change or discontinue features; if we remove something significant, we’ll give notice.
11. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is.” To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that any particular message will be delivered, carriers and mail providers make their own decisions.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits or goodwill. Our total liability arising out of these terms is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
13. Indemnity
You will indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your content, your guest list, or your use of the Service in breach of these terms.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change is material we will notify account holders by email at least 30 days beforehand. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the new terms.
15. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon have exclusive jurisdiction.
