For anyone planning an event and looking for suppliers.

Terms of Use for Event Organisers

Last updated: 18th August 2026

These terms cover your use of Add to Event. They're particularly relevant if you're using the Platform to find a supplier for an event or occasion you're planning.

You are an "Event Organiser" for the purposes of these terms, whether or not you organise events professionally. If you also use Add to Event as a supplier (for example, to list your own services), the Event Supplier terms also apply to the corresponding use of the Platform.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

1 Acceptance of this Agreement

Clause 1.1. These Terms of Use ('Agreement') set out the terms on which Add to Event allows you to access and use the Platform. Please read what follows carefully. By continuing to use the Platform, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. You acknowledge that you are responsible for your use of the Platform and for any decisions you make through it. If you do not agree to the terms contained here, you should not continue to use the Platform.

Clause 1.2. This Agreement takes effect when you first register an Account or otherwise use the Platform and continues until your Account is closed in accordance with clause 16. You may close your Account at any time through your Account settings or by contacting us using the details in clause 23.

2 Changes to this Agreement

Clause 2.1. We may amend this Agreement from time to time. The current version will always be available on the Website, and it is your responsibility to check the current version each time you use the Platform. We last updated this Agreement on 18th August 2026.

Clause 2.2. Where any amendment materially affects your rights or obligations under this Agreement, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to your attention, including by Website notice, by email to the address registered to your Account, or by message through the Platform.

Clause 2.3. Amendments will become effective at least fifteen (15) days after they are posted on the Website. If you do not agree to any such changes, you may close your Account at any time before the change takes effect, and the change will not apply to you. If you continue to access or use the Platform after that date, the updated Agreement will apply.

3 Privacy and Data Protection

Clause 3.1. Please review Add to Event's Privacy Policy, which sets out how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.

Clause 3.2. We process personal information in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. The Privacy Policy explains the lawful bases on which we process your information, your rights in relation to that information, and how to contact us about any data protection matter.

Clause 3.3. By using the Platform, you confirm that any personal information you provide about yourself is accurate and that you have the right to share any personal information you provide about others (for example, attendees, venues, or other contacts in connection with your event).

Clause 3.4. We may send you communications relating to your Account and your use of the Platform (for example, notifications of Quotes received, security alerts, and changes to this Agreement). These communications are necessary for the operation of the Platform and do not depend on any separate marketing consent you may have given. We will not treat marketing communications as service communications simply because they relate to the Platform; marketing communications will be sent in accordance with applicable marketing and privacy laws, including the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. Your preferences in relation to marketing communications can be managed through your Account or as described in our Privacy Policy.

Clause 3.5. From time to time we may record telephone calls, video calls, or other voice communications between you and our customer service, support, or sales teams for quality assurance, training, fraud prevention, and compliance purposes. Further information about how we handle call recordings, including the lawful basis for processing and our retention practices, is set out in our Privacy Policy.

4 Access to the Platform

Clause 4.1. Access to and use of the Platform is available only to individuals who are at least 18 years old and can form legally binding contracts. By accessing or using the Platform, you confirm that you are so eligible.

Clause 4.2. If you are using the Platform on behalf of a business or other organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that business or organisation to this Agreement, and references to 'you' include both you personally and the entity you represent.

Clause 4.3. Some provisions of this Agreement refer to your rights as a consumer. Those consumer-specific provisions apply only where you are an individual acting wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft, or profession. The substantive provisions of this Agreement otherwise apply equally to all Event Organisers.

5 Nature of the Platform and User Acknowledgements

Clause 5.1. You understand and acknowledge that Add to Event is a digital platform for connecting Event Organisers and Event Suppliers and is not a supplier or organiser of event services in its own right of any kind, and does not handle bookings between Event Suppliers and Event Organisers.

Clause 5.2. You acknowledge and agree that Event Suppliers, not Add to Event, are responsible and liable for the provision and delivery of the event services, and for complying with all requirements in connection with those services.

Clause 5.3. You understand that submitting a valid Quote Request does not necessarily guarantee a response or that a suitable Quote for event services will be received.

Clause 5.4. You are responsible for carrying out your own due diligence before entering into any agreement, financial commitment, or arrangement with an Event Supplier. This includes, where relevant, independently verifying an Event Supplier's identity, qualifications, experience, certifications, insurance cover, DBS status, regulatory compliance, and suitability for the specific event. Add to Event does not verify, endorse, or accept liability for the accuracy of any claims, credentials, or representations made by users on the Platform. While we may implement measures intended to support Platform quality, these do not constitute verification, and you must satisfy yourself as to the appropriateness of any Event Supplier before making payments, paying deposits, or engaging services.

6 Account Registration and Quote Process

Clause 6.1. To access certain features of the Platform, you will need to create an Account.

Clause 6.2. You agree to provide accurate information during registration and at all other times when you use the Platform, and to update that information to keep it accurate.

Clause 6.3. You are responsible for safeguarding your Account password and for all activity that occurs on your Account, and you will notify Add to Event immediately of any unauthorised use. Except where caused by Add to Event's negligence or breach of this Agreement, Add to Event is not liable for any losses caused to any party by unauthorised use of your Account, and you may be liable for losses to Add to Event or others arising from such unauthorised use.

Clause 6.4. Add to Event reserves the right to suspend or freeze Accounts and to request additional documentation or verification at any time to ensure Platform integrity and user safety. We may require proof of identity or other relevant documentation before reinstating Account access.

Clause 6.5. Following registration, you will be able to submit a Quote Request and will then receive Quotes from Event Suppliers registered on the Platform.

Clause 6.6. You can accept one or more Quotes from Event Suppliers (depending on the requirements for your event). You acknowledge and agree that Add to Event is not a booking service, and the quotation process on the Platform is intended for establishing contact only. Acceptance of a Quote does not constitute a binding legal agreement with the Event Supplier. Once a Quote is accepted, you and the Event Supplier must then negotiate and agree terms of business between yourselves and accept full responsibility for doing so.

11 Disputes Between Users

Clause 11.1. Add to Event values its users and understands that disputes may occasionally arise between Event Organisers and Event Suppliers.

13 Reviews

Clause 13.1. You may submit reviews of Event Suppliers through the Platform.

Add to Event is under no obligation to verify the identity, background, qualifications, or credentials of any user, and makes no representations, confirmations, or endorsements regarding any user's purported identity, credentials, or suitability.

We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, conduct, or output of any user, and we are not a party to any contract you enter into with an Event Supplier.

Clause 15.2. Subject to clause 15.3, Add to Event is not liable to you for:

Clause 15.2.1. the quality, safety, legality, or fitness for purpose of any event services provided or offered by an Event Supplier;

Clause 15.2.2. any loss arising from an Event Supplier's failure to perform, attend, deliver, or otherwise honour any agreement made with you;

Clause 15.2.3. any loss arising from your decision to engage, pay, or rely on any Event Supplier, or from any payment you make using bank or payment details received in connection with an Event Supplier or an event;

Clause 15.4. Nothing in this Agreement affects your legal rights as a consumer.

16 Suspension and Termination

Clause 16.1. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your Account, or your access to all or part of the Platform, at any time and (where appropriate) without prior notice if we reasonably believe that:

Clause 16.1.1. you have breached this Agreement;

Clause 16.1.2. you have used the Platform in a way that is unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful to Add to Event, other users, or any third party;

Clause 16.1.3. continued access to your Account creates a security, reputational, or operational risk to Add to Event or any other user; or

Clause 16.1.4. we are required to do so by law, by a regulator, or by a court order.

Clause 16.2. Where the right to terminate under clause 16.1 arises because of a breach of this Agreement, and we reasonably consider that the breach is capable of remedy and that immediate suspension or termination is not necessary to protect Add to Event, other users, or any third party, we will give you a reasonable opportunity to remedy the breach before terminating your Account.

Clause 16.3. We may also suspend or terminate your Account, or close all or part of the Platform, on reasonable notice where we have a legitimate reason to do so, including (without limitation) where we discontinue the service, change the way the Platform operates, or reasonably need to do so for legal, security, operational, regulatory, or business reasons.

Clause 16.4. If we suspend or terminate your Account, your password will be disabled and you will not be able to access the Platform or any of Your Content held within it. Where we believe it is necessary and proportionate, we may also notify other users (in particular any Event Supplier with whom you are in active discussion) that your Account has been terminated.

Clause 16.5. You may close your Account at any time through your Account settings, or by contacting us using the details in clause 23. Where you close your Account, we are not obliged to delete or return to you any content you have submitted to the Platform, including (without limitation) any reviews.

Clause 16.6. Termination of this Agreement, however arising, will not affect any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities of either party that have accrued up to the date of termination, or any clause that is expressly or by implication intended to survive termination.

17 Complaints

Clause 17.1. If you have a complaint about the Platform, the service we have provided, or anything else relating to Add to Event, please contact us at support@addtoevent.co.uk (or using the details in clause 23) and provide enough detail for us to look into the matter.

Clause 17.2. We will aim to acknowledge your complaint within five (5) working days and to provide a substantive response within thirty (30) days. Where a complaint is more complex, we may need additional time, in which case we will keep you updated on progress.

Clause 17.3. If your complaint relates to the conduct of an Event Supplier or to event services provided (or not provided) by an Event Supplier, the contract for those services is between you and the Event Supplier directly. While we may, at our discretion, provide guidance, share information, or facilitate communication between you and the Event Supplier, responsibility for resolving the matter sits with the parties to that contract.

Clause 17.4. Nothing in this clause restricts your right as a consumer to take any other action available to you, including bringing a claim through the courts or referring a matter to a relevant regulator or trading standards body.

Clause 17.5. We are not currently required to use, and do not use, an alternative dispute resolution provider for consumer disputes. If we are unable to resolve a complaint with you, you may seek guidance from Citizens Advice (citizensadvice.org.uk) or your local trading standards service.

Clause 17.6. If you encounter content on the Platform, or conduct by any user of the Platform, that you believe is unlawful, harmful, abusive, infringes intellectual property rights, or is otherwise in breach of this Agreement, please report it to us at support@addtoevent.co.uk with enough detail to allow us to review the matter. We will review reports we receive and may take action where we consider appropriate, including removing content, suspending or terminating Accounts, or referring matters to the relevant authorities. We are not contractually obliged to take any particular action in response to any individual report. Nothing in this clause limits any obligation we may have under applicable law to assess, restrict, remove, or otherwise respond to unlawful content or activity on the Platform.

18 Events Outside Our Control

Clause 18.1. Other than payment obligations, neither you nor Add to Event will be liable to the other for any delay or failure in performance under this Agreement arising from a cause beyond that party's reasonable control and occurring without its fault or negligence. Such causes may include (without limitation) fires, floods, earthquakes, severe weather, epidemics or pandemics, strikes or industrial action, unavailability of essential utilities or telecommunications, acts of God, acts of war or terrorism, civil unrest, or acts of any government or regulatory authority.

Clause 21.2. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Clause 21.3. No failure or delay by Add to Event in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy will preclude any other or further exercise of it.

Clause 21.4. You may not assign, transfer, or otherwise deal with your rights or obligations under this Agreement without our prior written consent. We may assign, transfer, or novate our rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor in business, to any company in our group, or as part of a sale, restructure, or other corporate transaction, on giving you reasonable notice. Any such assignment, transfer, or novation will not materially reduce your rights under this Agreement.

Clause 22.2. Subject to clause 22.3, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
