Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading or using the Knot Ready application (“App”), you agree to these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Knot Ready (“we”, “us”). Please read Section 11 carefully, because it changes how claims between us are resolved.

2. Eligibility and User Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old, or the legal age of majority in your state, to create an account and accept these Terms.

The App is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. See our Privacy Policy for details.

You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for activity that happens under your account.

Tell us promptly at knotreadyapp@gmail.com if you believe your account has been used without your authorization.

3. Lifetime PRO Access, Payments, and Refunds

Knot Ready PRO is a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase. “Lifetime” refers to the lifetime of the App, meaning for as long as we continue to support and operate Knot Ready. It does not mean perpetual availability and does not survive discontinuation of the App under Section 9.

All payments are processed by Apple. We never receive your payment card details.

Refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms in effect when you purchased. We do not process refunds directly and cannot grant or deny them. Nothing in these Terms limits any refund or cancellation right you have under the law of your state.

4. User Content and Guest Data

You retain ownership of any data you submit, such as guest lists, budgets, and wedding details. You grant us a limited licence to host, process, and display that data solely to operate the App for you and for anyone you invite to collaborate.

You represent that you have the right and any necessary consent to enter third-party information into the App — including guest names, contact details, meal choices, and dietary or allergy information — and to have us process it on your behalf.

You are responsible for telling your guests that their information is being entered into the App.

5. Acceptable Use

Do not use the App unlawfully, upload content you have no right to share, attempt to access other users' data, interfere with the service or its security, or reverse engineer the App except to the extent that restriction is unenforceable under applicable law.

6. Disclaimers

Knot Ready is a planning tool. We are not responsible for the execution of your wedding, for vendor performance or failures, or for financial disputes with third parties.

Calculations and reference material in the App — including budget estimates, alcohol calculators, sunset and golden hour times, marriage licence requirements, courthouse information, and tipping guidance — are estimates and general information, not professional, legal, or financial advice. Requirements vary by state and county and change over time. Verify anything that matters with the relevant authority or a qualified professional.

The App records dietary and allergy information exactly as you enter it. We do not verify that information, and the App is not a food safety system. You and your caterer remain solely responsible for confirming allergen information directly with guests and for safe food preparation.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA WILL NOT BE LOST.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some or all of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In that case, any implied warranty is limited to the shortest period permitted by law.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KNOT READY AND ITS CREATORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR FIFTY US DOLLARS ($50).

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Knot Ready and its creators from any claim, demand, loss, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your content, your entry or use of third-party information such as guest and allergy data, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

We will notify you of any such claim. You may control the defence with counsel reasonably acceptable to us, and we may participate at our own expense.

9. Termination and Changes to the Service

You may stop using the App at any time and may request deletion of your account and data as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these Terms, or that we reasonably believe is being used unlawfully or in a way that harms other users.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any feature. If we permanently discontinue the App, we will give reasonable advance notice where practicable and will address outstanding PRO purchases as required by applicable law.

10. Apple App Store

These Terms are between you and Knot Ready only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.

Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.

If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App.

Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to a legal requirement, and claims under consumer protection or privacy law.

Apple is not responsible for investigating, defending, settling, or discharging any third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights.

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance Apple has the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

11. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

11.1 Talk to us first. Before starting arbitration, email knotreadyapp@gmail.com with a short description of the dispute and the relief you want. We will try in good faith to resolve it. If it is not resolved within 60 days, either party may begin arbitration.

11.2 Binding arbitration. Except as stated in 11.4, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

11.3 How it works. Arbitration may be conducted by written submission, by telephone or video, or in person in the county where you live, at your election. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could award.

11.4 Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and either party may ask a court for injunctive relief to protect intellectual property rights.

11.5 Class action waiver. YOU AND KNOT READY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding.

11.6 If the class action waiver in 11.5 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim, and only that claim, will proceed in court under Section 12, and the rest of this Section 11 remains in force.

11.7 Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing knotreadyapp@gmail.com with the subject “Arbitration Opt-Out”, including your name and the email address on your account, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms and will not affect your use of the App.

11.8 Jury trial. Except for claims that proceed in small claims court or under 11.6, you and Knot Ready waive any right to a jury trial.

12. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms, and any dispute arising from them or from the App, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

For any dispute not subject to arbitration under Section 11, you and Knot Ready consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware.

If you are a consumer resident in another U.S. state, nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer protection provision of the law of the state where you live.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will give notice in the App or by email before it takes effect and will update the effective date shown above.

Continued use of the App after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the App; you may request deletion of your account at any time.

Changes to Section 11 will not apply to any dispute of which we had actual notice before the change took effect.

14. General

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions stay in full force.

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the App and supersede any prior understanding.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.

Notices. We may give notice through the App or to the email address on your account. Notices to us go to knotreadyapp@gmail.com.
