1. Scope
These Terms & Conditions govern use of the Occasion Buddy blog and its published materials. “Occasion Buddy”, “we” and “our” refer to the operator of this website; “you” refers to a visitor or user. Read these terms together with our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue use of the website.
2. Informational purpose
The website shares general celebration ideas, planning suggestions and editorial content. It does not provide personalised professional advice. An article is not a quotation, booking confirmation, vendor guarantee or promise about the outcome of an event. Check the suitability of any suggestion for your circumstances, venue, budget and attendees.
This version does not accept bookings or payments. Any future paid service will require its own clearly stated terms, pricing and applicable cancellation or refund conditions.
3. Appropriate use
You may browse and use the website for lawful personal or internal informational purposes. You must not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorised access, distribute malicious code, impersonate another person, infringe another person’s rights, or use its contact channels for harassment or unsolicited bulk messages.
Automated access must respect applicable law and must not unreasonably burden or bypass the website’s security. We may take proportionate steps to protect the website from misuse.
4. Intellectual property
Website text, branding, layout and other materials are protected to the extent recognised by applicable law. Rights may belong to Occasion Buddy, a contributor or another rights holder. Third-party names, trademarks, fonts and icons remain subject to their respective rights and licences.
You may link to publicly available pages and use limited quotations with appropriate attribution where permitted by law. Reproduction or commercial distribution of substantial material requires permission unless an applicable licence or legal exception permits it. Nothing in these terms restricts statutory exceptions such as fair dealing.
5. Editorial accuracy and illustrative content
We aim to provide useful, understandable content, but information may become outdated or contain errors. Availability, prices and third-party services can change. Check material details directly with the relevant provider before making a decision. Illustrative or AI-generated imagery does not represent a specific venue, supplier or completed event unless expressly stated.
To request a correction or report a rights concern, email occasionbuddy@gmail.com and identify the relevant page and issue.
6. External websites and social media
External links are offered for convenience. Linked websites and social platforms have their own terms, policies and practices. A link does not, by itself, mean that we endorse all content or accept responsibility for that service. Review third-party terms before sharing information or entering into any transaction.
7. Messages and submissions
Send only material you are entitled to share. You remain responsible for your messages and attachments. Contacting us does not create a confidential advisory relationship, a booking or a service contract. We may use a message to respond to the matter raised; public publication of a testimonial, personal photograph or other identifiable submission should require separate permission where appropriate.
8. Availability and limits of responsibility
We may update, remove or temporarily suspend content for maintenance, security or editorial reasons. Uninterrupted availability and error-free operation cannot be guaranteed.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for losses arising solely from reliance on general editorial suggestions or from independent third-party services. This provision does not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud, wilful misconduct or other protected claims. Nothing here removes mandatory consumer protections or other statutory rights.
9. Privacy
Information practices are described in the Privacy Policy. Reading these terms is not consent to unrelated data processing, advertising or marketing.
10. Governing law and concerns
These terms are intended to be interpreted under the laws of India, subject to any mandatory law that applies to you. If you have a concern, you may first email us to seek a practical resolution. This is not a mandatory barrier to legal remedies and does not limit any right to approach a court, consumer forum or competent authority having jurisdiction.
11. Updates and severability
We may revise these terms for future use of the website. The revision date will be updated, and further notice will be given where required. A revision does not automatically change an earlier separate agreement. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions apply to the extent permitted by law.
12. Contact
Questions about these terms can be sent to occasionbuddy@gmail.com or through the channels on our Contact page.
