Terms of Use

1. Introduction

Welcome to ItalianVenues. This website, italianvenues.com, is operated by ORTC FZCO, a company registered in the United Arab Emirates. Where these Terms of Use (“Terms”) say “we”, “our” or “us”, they mean ORTC FZCO trading as ItalianVenues.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree with any part of them, please don’t use the website.

2. What ItalianVenues Is

ItalianVenues is a curated directory of wedding venues and wedding suppliers in Italy. We show a hand-picked selection of venues and suppliers, and pass your enquiry to the ones you ask about, so you can start the conversation directly.

The service is free for couples. Venues and suppliers appear on the site by arrangement with us, as described in sections 5 and 6.

What we are not: we are not a travel agency or booking platform. We make introductions. Any booking, contract, deposit or payment is agreed directly between you and the venue or supplier. We are not a party to it and we don’t handle money between you.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use our enquiry and listing services. By using the website you confirm that you are of legal age and able to enter into these Terms.

4. Enquiries

When you submit an enquiry through the website:

• You consent to us sharing your enquiry details with the venue(s) you ask about and, where you ask us to, with suppliers who match what you need. That introduction is the service.
• You authorise those venues and suppliers to contact you directly about your enquiry.
• You confirm that the information you provide is accurate and truthful.
• We'll email you a link to your own enquiry page. This is private to you, so don't share it with anyone else.

We facilitate the introduction but cannot guarantee that a venue or supplier will respond, that it will have availability for your dates, or that it will match your requirements. How we handle the personal information in your enquiry is described in our privacy policy.

5. Venue Listings

Venues appear on ItalianVenues by arrangement agreed directly with us. A venue that shares its details, photographs or pricing with us for its listing, or in reply to the enquiries we send it, agrees to appear on the site on that basis.

Listing is at our discretion. The directory is curated, and we may update, pause or remove a listing that no longer meets our standards. Venues are responsible for the accuracy of the information they give us and for having the rights to any material they supply.

6. Supplier Listings

Suppliers pay a listing fee in advance for the period agreed with us. In return, their profile appears in our supplier directory and we pass on enquiries from couples who ask about them or about their category. We don’t take commission on suppliers’ bookings.

Listing is at our discretion, and we may update, pause or remove a profile that no longer meets our standards. Suppliers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they give us and for having the rights to any material they supply, including permission from the photographers whose work appears on their profile.

7. Accuracy of Information

We work to keep venue and supplier details, including capacities, facilities, locations and pricing indications, accurate and current. This information comes from venues and suppliers and can change without notice, so we can’t guarantee its accuracy or completeness. Always confirm details, availability and pricing directly with the venue or supplier before committing to anything.

8. Your Contract Is with the Venue or Supplier

Any agreement you reach with a venue or supplier, including booking terms, deposits, payment schedules, cancellation policies and everything that happens on the day, is between you and them. ItalianVenues is not a party to those agreements and accepts no liability for payments, cancellations or disputes between you and a venue or supplier.
