Terms of Service
Last updated: 23 July 2026
1. Scope and Purpose
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern the use of the digital invitation creation service offered at https://nousmarions.com (the "Platform"). The Platform is operated by Zerda Yılmaz, a sole proprietor established under the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, trading as "Nous Marions" (the "Operator").
Every person who accesses the Platform or uses its services (the "User") declares that they have read, understood, and fully accepted these Terms. Users who do not accept these Terms must not use the Platform.
2. Acceptance of the Terms
Accessing the Platform, creating an account, or completing a purchase constitutes acceptance of these Terms as well as the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy published on the Platform. These Terms form a binding agreement between the User and the Operator.
The Operator reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Updated Terms take effect on the date they are published on the Platform. Continued use of the Platform after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
3. Description of the Service
Nous Marions is a software service (SaaS) that allows users to create, customize, and share digital wedding invitations online. The main services offered through the Platform are:
- A template-based digital invitation creation and editing tool
- A user management panel (dashboard)
- Guest list and RSVP management
- Online invitation publishing and shareable link creation
The Platform provides only the templates and editing tools. The invitation content (names, dates, venue details, texts, images, etc.) is created entirely by the User. The Platform does not apply any editorial review to content entered by users.
4. User Obligations
When using the Platform, the User agrees to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
- Keep account credentials (email and password) confidential and notify the Operator immediately in the event of unauthorized access
- Use the Platform only for lawful purposes
- Refrain from any action that could damage or disrupt the Platform's technical infrastructure
- Comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and any other applicable data protection legislation when processing third parties' personal data through the Platform
- Not attempt unauthorized access to other users' accounts or data
- Not use the Platform for spam, phishing, or the distribution of malicious content
- Not use the Platform for resale, licensing, or commercial sublicensing purposes
5. User-Generated Content
Users are solely responsible for all content (text, images, links, etc.) they upload, enter, or create through the Platform. It is the User's responsibility to represent and warrant that such content:
- Does not infringe the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of third parties,
- Does not contain misleading, defamatory, discriminatory, or unlawful elements,
- Does not include personal data of individuals without their consent.
Users may add music to their invitation page. Fulfilling the copyright obligations for all audio content, including uploaded or linked music files, is the User's responsibility. The User represents and warrants that they own the copyright to the uploaded music, have obtained the necessary license, or that the content is royalty-free. Any legal and financial liability arising from copyright infringement rests exclusively with the User.
The Operator does not pre-screen user-generated content. However, it reserves the right to remove content deemed to violate these Terms without prior notice.
All legal and financial liability arising from damages suffered by third parties due to user-generated content rests with the User. The User agrees to defend and indemnify the Operator against any claims, actions, and costs that may be brought against the Operator in this regard.
6. Intellectual Property Rights
The Platform's design, software code, templates, images, typography choices, and other original elements are owned by or licensed to the Operator under applicable intellectual property law. Users are granted only a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive right to use these materials for the purpose of benefiting from the service provided by the Platform.
The User agrees not to copy, reproduce, reverse engineer, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit any part of the Platform.
The User retains the intellectual property rights to the invitation content they create through the Platform. The Operator does not claim any usage rights over such content.
7. Payment, Order Processing, and Activation
Platform services are offered for a one-time payment; they are not a monthly or annual subscription. Once payment is completed, the service is activated immediately and access to the user panel is granted.
Purchases on the Platform are processed by our authorized reseller and merchant of record, Polar Software, Inc. (3500 South DuPont Highway, Dover, DE 19901, United States). Polar is the seller of record for your purchase: it handles payment processing, order confirmation, invoicing, applicable taxes (such as VAT or sales tax), and payment-related customer support. Your purchase is additionally subject to Polar's Buyer Terms. Card details and sensitive payment data are never seen or stored by the Operator.
The User acknowledges that pricing information for the service is clearly published on the Platform and accessible before payment.
Cancellation and refund requests are handled under the Refund Policy published separately on the Platform.
8. Service Continuity and Invitation Availability
The Operator does not guarantee that the service will operate without interruption or error. The service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or technical conditions. The Operator endeavors to announce such interruptions in advance; however, prior notice may not be possible in urgent cases.
Published invitations remain online and accessible for as long as the service is operational, without being limited to a period tied to the purchase date; they are not automatically taken offline based on elapsed time. If the Operator discontinues the service in whole or in part, or if technical necessities arise, access to invitations may be suspended; in such cases the Operator endeavors to inform users within a reasonable period in advance. Users are responsible for saving their own content by their own means.
The Operator reserves the right to discontinue the Platform in whole or in part due to infrastructure changes, transformations in the scope of the service, or other compelling reasons. In such cases, users will be informed within a reasonable period before the service becomes unavailable.
9. Limitation of Liability
The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available". The Operator does not warrant fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted service.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator cannot be held liable for damages arising from:
- Incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information entered into the system by the User
- Indirect, special, or consequential damages arising from reliance on the Platform
- Technical failures, server outages, or disruptions caused by third-party service providers
- The User's negligence or violation of these Terms
- Events beyond the Platform's control (force majeure)
In any event, the Operator's total liability towards the User is limited to the amount the User paid for the Platform. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the mandatory laws applicable to you, including, for consumers in the European Union, rights arising under mandatory consumer protection law.
10. Suspension or Termination of Accounts
The Operator may temporarily suspend or permanently terminate a user account without prior notice in the following cases:
- Violation of any provision of these Terms
- Sharing unlawful content or using the Platform for unlawful purposes
- Actions that damage or threaten the security of the Platform's infrastructure
- Publishing content that infringes the rights of third parties
- Creating an account with false or misleading information
Upon termination of an account, the User's access to content and data on the Platform ends. The Operator reserves the right to retain certain data within the framework of legal obligations or legitimate interests.
Users may close their account at any time. Account closure requests must be sent in writing to hello@nousmarions.com.
11. Changes to the Terms
The Operator has the right to update these Terms in line with legal regulations, changes in Platform services, or other requirements. Updated Terms take effect on the date they are published on the Platform.
Changes that materially affect users are announced via the Platform or by email before they take effect. Users who continue to use the Platform after the change announcement are deemed to have accepted the updated Terms.
12. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. If you are acting as a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded to you by provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement under the law of the country in which you habitually reside, and it does not restrict your right to bring proceedings before the competent courts of that country where applicable law so provides.
For disputes relating to your purchase itself (payment, billing, taxes, refunds), please note that the contract of sale is concluded with Polar Software, Inc. as merchant of record, and Polar's Buyer Terms apply to it.
