Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and Okerly ("Okerly", "we", "us") and apply whenever you use okerly.com, create an account, buy a plan or edit an invitation as a collaborator. By doing any of these things you accept them. If you don't agree, please don't use Okerly.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information and forms part of these terms.

You must be at least 18 years old to buy a plan or hold an account. You create your account when you sign up with your email address or your Google account, or when you accept a collaborator invitation.

Keep your password safe. You are responsible for everything done through your account, including by the collaborators you invite. If you think someone has accessed your account without permission, tell us at [email protected] straight away.

Okerly plans are a one-time purchase, not a subscription: you pay once and nothing renews automatically. Prices are shown in US dollars at checkout, together with any applicable taxes, and payments are processed securely by Stripe.

What each plan includes is described on our pricing page at the time you buy. We may change prices or plans for future purchases, but never for a plan you have already paid for.

You can build and preview your whole website and save-the-date card for free before you pay, so a plan is only bought once you know exactly what you are getting. For that reason all payments are final and we do not offer refunds, including for a change of mind or a cancelled or postponed wedding.

This does not affect any rights you have under consumer protection laws where you live. If something you paid for doesn't work as described, write to us at [email protected] and we will put it right.

Everything you add to Okerly — text, photos, details of your day and your guest list — remains yours. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy and display that content only as needed to run the service, including showing your invitation to the people you share it with. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account.

You confirm that you have the right to use the photos and text you upload, and that you collect your guests' information lawfully. We will never use your photos or wedding details in our marketing without your permission.

Invitations and save-the-date cards start as drafts that only you and your collaborators can see. Once you publish one, anyone who has its link can open it. We ask search engines not to index couples' pages, but you decide who receives the link, so share it with care.

Collaborators you invite can edit your invitation and see your guest replies. You can remove a collaborator at any time.

Please use Okerly for what it is made for: celebrating. You agree not to:

• publish anything unlawful, hateful, harassing or sexually explicit;
• upload content that infringes anyone else's copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights;
• use Okerly to send spam, phishing or malware;
• try to break or bypass our security, or scrape, overload or disrupt the service;
• resell, sublicense or share access to Okerly as a service of your own.

We may remove content or suspend an account that breaks these rules.

Okerly's designs, templates, software and brand belong to us. With your plan you receive a personal, non-transferable licence to use our designs for your own celebration.

We are always improving Okerly and may add, change or retire features, but we won't remove the core features of a plan you have paid for. We aim to keep Okerly available at all times, but it may occasionally be interrupted for maintenance or by events outside our control.

Wedding planners, bloggers and creators can apply to recommend Okerly through our affiliate program. Joining is by approval: we may accept or decline any application and remove an affiliate at any time. If you join, these terms apply to you together with the following rules:

• Commission — you earn 30% of what a referred couple pays for their first Okerly purchase, excluding taxes, when they make it within 90 days of their first click on your referral link. Upgrades and any later purchases earn no commission. If more than one affiliate referred the same couple, the most recent click counts.
• Payouts — each commission is held for 40 days after the purchase to cover chargebacks and fraud. Approved commissions are paid once a month by bank transfer, in US dollars, once your balance reaches $100; a smaller balance carries over to the next month. Any fees your own bank charges are yours to cover.
• Taxes — you are an independent partner, not our employee or agent, and you are responsible for declaring and paying any taxes on your earnings. We may ask for the details we need to pay you lawfully.
• Not allowed — referring yourself or buying through your own link; bidding on "Okerly" or similar terms in paid search ads; listing Okerly on coupon, deal or cashback sites, or promising discounts we don't offer; spam or unsolicited messages; misleading claims about Okerly, including promises of refunds; and presenting yourself as Okerly or as speaking for us.
• Disclosure — you must clearly tell your audience that you earn a commission from your Okerly links, as the law where you publish requires.

Commissions on purchases that are charged back or that break these rules are cancelled. If an affiliate seriously or repeatedly breaks them, we may close their affiliate account and withhold unpaid commissions. We may change the commission or end the program with 30 days' notice by email; commissions earned before the change are still paid.

You can delete your account at any time from Settings; this permanently removes your invitations, save-the-date cards, guest replies and photos. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaches these terms, and will give notice first where it is reasonable to do so.

Okerly is provided "as is" and "as available". We are not responsible for the accuracy of the details you publish or of your guests' replies, nor for the wedding itself, its venues or its suppliers. We recommend keeping your own copy of important information such as your final guest list.

To the extent permitted by law, Okerly is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits or data, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or the rights you have as a consumer.

We may update these terms from time to time. We will change the date at the top of this page whenever we do, and tell you by email before any significant change takes effect. If you keep using Okerly after that, the updated terms apply.

These terms are governed by the laws of the country where Okerly is established, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live and may bring a claim in its courts.

For any question about these terms, write to us at [email protected].
