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 13 to use the Service, and at least 18 to buy a subscription. 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. Trial and subscriptions
- New host accounts get a 30-day free trial with full access. We do not ask for a card to start it.
- After the trial, continued use requires a paid subscription at $99 per year for individual hosts, or the agreed plan for venues and organizations.
- Subscriptions renew automatically each year unless cancelled before the renewal date. You can cancel at any time from your account settings 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 licence 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 and documented API 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. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
