Terms of Service

Date-poll answers indicate availability, not an RSVP or a promise to attend. The host chooses a date and reviews a separate invitation before sharing it. Polls expire 90 days after creation. Keep your private poll link safe, or save a backup email to recover access from All your plans.

Private household conversations stay on the event page. A host’s message also goes to the email address and mobile number on the guest’s reply, when there is one, and a guest’s message can send the host an email saying one is waiting. Delivery is not guaranteed, so check the invitation for replies and use an agreed contact method for urgent matters. Shopping quantities are estimates that hosts must review for their menu and guests. A changed headcount does not automatically update a saved list.

Upload recovery depends on the original file, browser storage and an unexpired upload. Keep your own copies and confirm that each file finishes. Leaving a page does not guarantee that an upload continues in the background.

Hosts may ask event-related questions and use the answers only to organize that event. Do not request passwords, payment-card details, identity documents, or sensitive records. Ask only for information needed for attendance and planning. Guests answer for their own household and should not include another person’s private information without permission. Individual answers are private to the guest, event owner, and co-hosts with guest-management access; they may be exported by those hosts. Option totals may be shared with Going and Maybe guests only when the question discloses this before the answer is collected. Use shared totals for group preferences, not health, dietary or other sensitive information. Changing sharing starts a new question and does not publish earlier private answers.

Hosts are responsible for keeping arrival instructions and plans accurate. Avoid security codes and sensitive instructions: an RSVP is not identity verification. Prep-task due dates do not schedule reminders. Downloaded event sheets do not update automatically; check the invitation for changes and share private details only with authorized people. Planning tools and aggregate answers are aids, not guarantees of attendance or individual requirements.

A guest who joins a waitlist explicitly agrees that their whole household may be marked Going when room becomes available. Keep your reply current and leave the waitlist if your plans change. Admission follows queue order and is subject to capacity, event status and the RSVP deadline; a changed date requires renewed agreement. Bring-list sign-ups are household commitments that can be released from the invitation; the host may remove an item and its sign-ups.

Reusing an event does not copy RSVP answers, attendance, access links or payment entitlements. Contacts may be reviewed for a new event only by someone with owner access to both events, and only people who separately expect the new invitation should be selected. Past delivery or RSVP consent does not authorize a new event’s messages. Do not use reuse controls to evade an opt-out.

Scheduled updates use the selected audience groups and eligible recipients at delivery time. Hosts may remove an unpublished update to cancel it. Email already accepted for delivery cannot be recalled. Scheduled publication and email delivery may be delayed, and scheduled updates are cancelled if the event is postponed or cancelled.

Keep private access and recovery links secure. Hosts may give co-hosts selected permissions and revoke them through the dashboard. Hosts are responsible for choosing who can see guest information and manage the event; co-hosts must use that information only for the event. Email recovery replaces the relevant host or RSVP key, not separate co-host permissions.

Hosts can close RSVPs, set a deadline or attendance limit, postpone or cancel an event, and turn reminders on or off. Saving an event setting does not notify guests unless the host selects a notification option. Email delivery depends on available contact details and recipient preferences; a sent message does not guarantee it has been read. Hosts should use another agreed contact method for urgent changes when needed.

You must be at least 18 years old to create or manage an event. If you are not old enough to enter a binding contract where you live, use the service only with permission from a parent or legal guardian. Children under 13 must not submit personal information or upload photos or videos; a parent or guardian should reply for them.

Hosts are responsible for the event details they publish, the people they invite, the contact information they upload, and the visibility settings they choose. A host must have a lawful and reasonable basis to contact each guest and must not use PartyWelcome for unsolicited marketing.

The private host link controls the event. Keep it confidential. Actions taken through a valid host link are treated as authorized by the host unless PartyWelcome has been told that the link is compromised.

Guests must provide accurate replies and may use the edit link only for their own household. By default, a new or edited comment stays private to the guest and host until the host approves it; a host may turn approval off. Comments, photos, videos, and album links must be appropriate for the event and must not expose another person’s private information without permission.

Do not use PartyWelcome to break the law, threaten or harass anyone, impersonate another person, distribute malware, evade messaging opt-outs, scrape personal information, interfere with the service, or publish content that infringes another person’s rights. Do not create events whose primary purpose is bulk advertising, fraud, or collecting sensitive information unrelated to attendance.

Photos, videos, comments, and links must not show or promote sexual content involving a minor, sexual content of any person shared without that person’s consent, sexual content in general, violence or cruelty presented for its own sake, threats, hate against a person or group for who they are, self-harm, the sale of illegal goods, or anything else that is illegal where it is shared or where PartyWelcome operates. There is no exception for a private event or a joke. PartyWelcome removes such content when it learns of it, closes the events and access links involved, and reports sexual content involving a minor to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and to law enforcement as United States law requires, preserving what the law requires us to preserve.

To report content, email hello@partywelcome.com with the public event link and what you saw; never send a private host or reply link. A host can hide or remove any contribution through the private host link at once, without waiting for us.

You keep ownership of event text, photos, videos, and other content you submit. You give PartyWelcome a limited license to host, copy, display, and transmit that content only as needed to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and support the service. PartyWelcome does not use this content to train an artificial intelligence model. Direct guest media is stored as uploaded, without resizing or changes. You confirm that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit it, including the permission of the people shown in a photo or video, and a parent’s or guardian’s permission for a child shown in one. A guest who adds a photo of someone else’s child to an event wall should expect that child’s parent to be able to have it removed, and PartyWelcome will remove it on their request.

Hosts may remove or hide event content. PartyWelcome may remove content or restrict an event when reasonably necessary to enforce these terms, protect users, comply with law, or keep the service working.

When you add music, a photo, a voice message or a video to an invitation, or link to one, you confirm that you have the right to use it that way and to share it with the people you invite. Use music you own, are licensed to use, or that is free to use. Every song in our music library is a public-domain recording made by a US military band (a US government work), so you can use it freely. You are responsible for what you add as a host. A guest is responsible for what that guest adds to an event wall or album. PartyWelcome may remove content, or turn it off, when someone tells us it infringes their rights, as described in Copyright complaints below.

If you believe content on PartyWelcome infringes a copyright you own or represent, send a notice to hello@partywelcome.com or to the operator address below with: the work you say is infringed; the public event link and a description of where the content appears; your name, address, telephone number and email address; a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. We remove or disable access to the content named in a complete notice. Guests do not have accounts, and a guest who leaves no email address, or removes their reply and leaves a photo on the wall, cannot be reached by us: where we have an address for the person who added the content we tell them, and they may send a counter-notice with the elements the Digital Millennium Copyright Act sets out; where we have none, the host, who can reach their guests, is told instead. Where we can identify a person whose content has been removed for infringement more than once, we refuse their further uploads and may close the events involved.

Hosts may ask PartyWelcome to deliver event email or paid text messages. The host confirms that each recipient expects the message and that the contact information is accurate. A host may use an email address supplied with an RSVP for that event. A new event requires separate permission or a reasonable expectation of that invitation; an earlier RSVP is not permission for unrelated marketing. Direct replies sent from the host’s email account are not stored by PartyWelcome. Hosts can select RSVP groups for email or event-page updates. Marking an update important does not override a guest’s email-update preference. A host may use remaining text-delivery capacity for event updates or post-event thank-you messages to active recipients who successfully received an invitation through PartyWelcome. The one message telling guests who replied that the event’s photos are ready uses the same capacity when it goes by text. RSVP audience selections use the reply connected to each invitation; a shared link alone does not identify its recipient.

Sharing opens the phone’s share menu or a messaging app on the host’s device. Those services are governed by their own terms, and PartyWelcome does not control how a host chooses recipients there.

PartyWelcome text invitations are sent by hosts to guests the host personally knows. The host adds each mobile number, confirms that the guest expects the invitation, and pays for the text allowance. We do not send marketing or promotional texts, and agreeing to receive texts is not a condition of creating an invitation, replying to one, or making any purchase. Message frequency varies by event and is normally a few messages: the invitation, occasional host updates and reminders about that event, one message when its photos are ready, and a thank-you afterwards. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel texts at any time. Reply HELP for help, or email hello@partywelcome.com. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Mobile numbers and text opt-in or opt-out choices are not sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing.

After you reply STOP, PartyWelcome will not send more texts to that number unless you ask us to resume, for example by emailing hello@partywelcome.com. Text consent for one event is not used to send texts about another event.

Invitation creation, link sharing, email delivery, RSVP collection, host controls, and registries are currently free. So is each event’s first 100 files or 2 GB of guest media, kept until 30 days after the scheduled event end. That includes photos, videos, and guests’ voice and audio messages, all free.

Direct text delivery is a one-time $5 purchase for an event and includes up to 500 text message parts shared by invitations and eligible post-event thank-you messages. A longer message may use more than one part.

A host or a guest who has replied may buy more room for an event’s photos and videos: 5 GB and 500 files for $5, 10 GB and 1,000 files for $10, 50 GB and 5,000 files for $30, 100 GB and 10,000 files for $50, 500 GB and 50,000 files for $150, or 1 TB and 50,000 files for $250. Each purchase replaces the event’s limit for the entire event and does not add to it; room already paid for is never charged again when moving up. Room and more time may be bought together in one payment, with the time priced at the room bought. A guest buyer’s RSVP name is disclosed privately to the host.

Before the current media-removal date, a host or a guest who has replied may buy more time: 30, 90 or 365 more days. The price depends on the room the event has, starting at $5, $10 and $20 for the free 2 GB and rising with a bigger room; the price is shown before checkout and on the pricing page. Buying more room after time has been added includes the difference for the days already kept. Each purchase is added to the current removal date for the entire event. It does not change the host’s visibility, upload, or approval settings. A guest buyer’s RSVP name is disclosed privately to the host.

Anyone may make an optional one-time sponsorship payment through the Sponsor PartyWelcome page, and a host may do so from a private dashboard after an event. Sponsoring does not unlock a feature or change an event. It is not a charitable donation and is not tax deductible. Our payment processor handles each payment. None of these purchases is a subscription or renews automatically.

If a paid feature cannot be used because PartyWelcome failed to activate it, contact hello@partywelcome.com for review. Charges for activated storage room or extensions, messages already queued or sent, voluntary sponsorships, and purchases for an event the owner later deletes are normally final unless applicable law requires otherwise. Prices may change for future purchases, but a change will not alter a completed purchase.

Ways to pay and shared costs are free. PartyWelcome is a record that the people at an event, or in a split, keep together; it is not a payment service. It does not collect, hold, transfer, guarantee or refund money between hosts and guests, and it does not check that a cost, a receipt, a split or a payment is real or correct.

A suggested share is the host’s request, not a charge, and nobody is obliged to pay it through PartyWelcome. Members are responsible for what they record, for settling with each other, and for any disagreement about money, which is between them. Marking a payment Paid or Not paid, and a transaction number or screenshot added to it, is a note to the other person, not proof either way; a payment marked Not paid stops counting in the balances and in what a host sees as paid.

Add only payment details you want the people at that event, or in that split, to use, and receipts you have the right to share. Do not upload a full card number, a bank account number, a password or an identity document, and cover them in a payment screenshot before adding it. Payments made in a payment app, a bank transfer app or a bank’s app are governed by that provider’s terms.

PartyWelcome may link to payment services, maps, messaging applications, shared albums, registries, and other outside services. PartyWelcome is not responsible for their content, availability, transactions, or privacy practices.

We may change, suspend, or stop a feature and may limit access when needed for security, maintenance, legal compliance, or misuse. You may stop using PartyWelcome at any time and may request deletion as described in the Privacy Policy. Sections that logically continue after use ends, including ownership, payment, disclaimers, and dispute terms, remain in effect.

PartyWelcome is provided as available. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. PartyWelcome does not organize, supervise, endorse, or guarantee an event, guest conduct, venue, registry, outside link, payment between users, delivery time, or attendance count. Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot legally be excluded.

To the extent permitted by law, PartyWelcome will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or event costs. PartyWelcome’s total liability for a claim will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid PartyWelcome during the twelve months before the claim. These limits do not apply where the law does not allow them.

These terms are governed by Delaware law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in Delaware, unless applicable consumer law gives you the right to bring it elsewhere. Before filing a claim, contact hello@partywelcome.com and give us a reasonable opportunity to address it.

PartyWelcome is operated from 8 The Green, Suite B, Dover, Delaware 19901. Legal notices may be sent there or to hello@partywelcome.com.

We may update these terms as the service changes. The effective date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes will be presented in the service when appropriate. Continued use after an updated version takes effect means you accept that version.

Questions may be sent to hello@partywelcome.com.
