Terms and conditions

1. Introduction and Acceptance

Welcome to our online platform. By registering an account or using our website and services (the “Service”), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service (”Terms”). These Terms govern your use of the Service, together with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Service.

In these Terms, “Company”, “we”, or “us” refers to the owner and operator of the Service, Bliss Ventures LLP, a company registered in the United Kingdom (registration number OC457200, with registered office at 7 Constantine Way, Bancroft Park, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom, MK13 0RA). The term “you” refers to you, the user of the Service. The Service is an online membership platform designed for family-oriented activities, enabling users to share event listings, travel itineraries, skill exchanges, and related content.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. They constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the Company. You must accept these Terms (for example, by checking “I agree” during sign-up) before using the Service. If you violate these Terms or violate any applicable law in connection with your use of our Service, we may terminate your account as described below.

2. Eligibility

  • Age Requirement: The Service is intended for use by adults 18 years of age or older. By creating an account or using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. The Service is directed towards families with children, and by using it you further confirm that you are a parent or legal guardian (or have permission from a parent/legal guardian) if you include any information about minors (e.g. your children) in your use of the Service. We do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to register for their own account.:
  • Families Focus: Our platform is designed for family-oriented content and activities. While having children is not a strict requirement to join, the content and services are tailored to parents/guardians and their families. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you understand its family-focused nature and will use it accordingly.:
  • User Representations: You agree that all information you submit upon registration and at all other times will be truthful, accurate, and complete. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service is in compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to you. If you are accessing the Service from outside the UK, you are still responsible for complying with local laws, and you use the Service at your own initiative and risk.:

3. Account Registration and Security

To access many features of our Service, you must create a membership account. Account creation and management on our site are handled through our secure membership system (built on MemberPress, integrated with WordPress). When registering an account, you agree to the following terms:

  • Account Information: You must provide a valid email address and accurate information during sign-up. You agree to keep your account information up-to-date. You must not impersonate anyone or use false details.:
  • Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials (email address and password). Do not share your account with others. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not authorized by you. If you believe someone has accessed your account without your permission, you must notify us immediately at support@blissinvestor.com so we can help secure your account.:
  • One Account per User: You should create only one account for yourself. Creating multiple accounts or transferring/selling accounts is prohibited without our written consent. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any duplicate or unauthorized accounts.:
  • Unauthorized Access: You agree not to use another user’s account or any other person’s login credentials at any time. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these obligations.:
  • Account Termination: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account (with or without notice) if we suspect any breach of these Terms or fraudulent activity, or for other safety and compliance reasons. See the Termination section below for more details.:

4. Description of Service

Our Service provides an online platform for parents and families around the world to connect and share information, including:

  • Family Event Listings: Users can post and browse events (such as meet-ups, playdates, community gatherings, etc.) that are family-friendly.:
  • Skill Exchange Posts: Users may offer or seek skill exchanges (for example, one family offering a language lesson to another in exchange for a different skill) through moderated listings.:
  • Travel Itineraries and Tips: Users can share travel plans or itineraries and related tips for traveling with children, and find other families who might have overlapping travel plans or advice.:
  • User Profiles: Members may create profiles that include non-identifying information about their family (such as number of children, ages of children, home city, travel interests, etc.) to facilitate connections with others. Personal data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.:

We do not organize or host in-person events or provide travel services ourselves; we only facilitate user-generated listings and connections. All content on the platform is provided by users (except for any official announcements or blog content we publish). All listings submitted by users are subject to moderation by our team to maintain quality and safety (see Section 6 below).

While we strive to provide a valuable community for families, we do not guarantee that you will find suitable connections or events through our Service, and we are not involved in any agreements or arrangements made directly between users. Please see the Disclaimers and Liability sections for more information on our responsibilities and limitations.

5. Membership Plans, Fees, and Payments

Certain features of our Service require a paid membership subscription. This section explains our membership plans, payment terms, free trial, auto-renewal, and cancellation/refund policy. By subscribing to our Service, you agree to these payment terms:

  • Membership Subscription: Access to full platform is provided on a subscription basis. Subscription options may include monthly and annual plans. Subscription fees are displayed in USD (United States Dollars) unless stated otherwise, and include any applicable VAT or taxes unless noted. You agree to pay all charges at the prices then in effect for your chosen plan.:
  • Payment Processing: All payments are handled securely by our third-party payment processor, Stripe. When you subscribe, you must provide a valid payment method (such as a credit or debit card) through Stripe. We do not store your full payment card details on our servers; Stripe will process and store your payment information in accordance with their security protocols. By providing your payment information, you authorize us and Stripe to charge the subscription fees to your payment method. You acknowledge that the processing of payments is subject to Stripe’s terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for any errors or security breaches by the payment processor, but please contact us if you encounter payment issues and we will work to resolve them.:
  • Free Trial: We offer a 7-day free trial to new subscribers. The free trial allows you to access the membership features for 7 days without charge. The free trial period begins when you complete the sign-up for a subscription plan and provide a payment method (though you will not be charged during the trial). Eligibility: Free trials are limited to new customers only (one per user/household). We reserve the right to determine your free trial eligibility and to modify or cancel free trials at any time.:
  • Auto-Renewal & Billing: Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing cycle (e.g. monthly or annually) including after the free trial, unless you cancel beforehand. If you do not cancel before your 7-day free trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert into a paid subscription and your provided payment method will be charged the applicable subscription fee on the day after the trial period concludes. Thereafter, your subscription will continue to renew and be billed on a recurring basis (e.g. every month on that calendar day, or every year on the same date) until you cancel. We will send you a reminder before your free trial expires and before any long-term subscription renewal (e.g. annual renewal), in accordance with UK law, to ensure you are aware of upcoming charges.:
  • Price Changes: We may change the subscription fees for our Service from time to time. Any fee change will be communicated to you in advance (for example, via email or prominent notice on the site) and will apply only to billing periods after the change becomes effective. If you do not agree with a price change, you may cancel your subscription before the new rate takes effect. If you continue to use the Service after the price change, you will be deemed to have accepted the new fees.:
  • Cancellation by You: You have the right to cancel your subscription at any time. You can cancel through your account settings on the website (via the MemberPress account dashboard) or by contacting our support at support@blissinvestor.com. If you cancel during the free trial period, your account will revert to a free/basic status immediately and you will not be charged. If you cancel an active paid subscription, you will continue to have access to paid features until the end of your current billing period (month or year that you’ve already paid for), after which the subscription will not renew and you will not be charged further. Please note: Except as stated in the “Cooling-Off Period” and refund policy below, we generally do not provide refunds for partial subscription periods or unused time after cancellation. It is your responsibility to cancel in time to avoid future billing; we make the cancellation process straightforward and available online in compliance with consumer protection laws.:
  • Statutory Cooling-Off Period (14-Day Cancellation Right): If you are a consumer in the UK or EU, you have a legal right to cancel your subscription contract within 14 days of the start of your paid subscription and receive a full refund, as per the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and relevant UK consumer protection laws. This 14-day period begins from the day your paid subscription starts (which is typically immediately after the free trial ends and payment is taken, or immediately after purchase if no free trial). If you exercise this right to cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period, we will refund your subscription payment. However, please note:by accessing and using the paid portions of our Service during the cooling-off period, you acknowledge that digital services are being supplied to you immediately, and if you fully utilize the Service in that period, we reserve the right (as permitted by law) to deduct for the value of service used or require that you cease use immediately upon cancellation. (In practice, we will honor full refunds for cancellations within 14 days of purchase for simplicity, provided you have not excessively used or downloaded proprietary content.) This statutory cancellation right is in addition to our refund policy and does not affect your other legal rights.:
  • Refund Policy: Beyond the 14-day cooling-off window, we will consider refund requests in good faith in cases of documented hardship or service issues (for example, if a technical problem on our end prevented you from using the Service). However, generally we do not offer refunds for unused time if you cancel after the first 14 days, except where required by law or expressly stated. If you believe you deserve a refund, you may contact us explaining the circumstances, and we will review your request. Any approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method.:
  • Failed Payments: It is your responsibility to ensure your payment information is accurate and up to date. If a recurring subscription charge is declined or cannot be processed (e.g. card expiration or insufficient funds), we will attempt to notify you and may retry billing. If payment remains unsuccessful, we may, at our discretion, suspend or cancel your access to subscriber features. You agree to provide a new valid payment method promptly upon request if the current one fails. We are not responsible for fees or charges imposed by your bank or card issuer related to our charges (e.g. overdraft fees).:
  • Upgrades and Downgrades: If we offer different tiers of membership and you choose to upgrade or downgrade your plan, the change will either take effect at the next billing cycle or immediately with a prorated charge/credit, depending on our current policy which will be explained at the time of the change. Downgrading may cause loss of access to certain features or content, so please review the differences before changing plans.:
  • Promotions and Offers: We may occasionally offer special promotions, discounts, or referral programs. These may be subject to additional terms or limitations which we will communicate. Promotions are not guaranteed and can be modified or discontinued at any time, as allowed by law.:

By subscribing to our Service, you agree that your subscription will automatically renew and you authorize us (and Stripe) to charge your chosen payment method at the start of each renewal term, until you cancel. You also acknowledge that we have informed you clearly of the subscription terms, in compliance with UK “subscription trap” laws, and that you can cancel easily at any time. If you have any questions about billing or wish to dispute a charge, please contact us promptly at sales@blissinvestor.com.

6. User-Generated Content and Listings

Our platform allows users to submit content in the form of event listings, skill exchange offers/requests, travel itineraries, forum posts or comments (if applicable), and profile information (collectively, “User Content”). This section outlines the rules and rights regarding User Content:

6.1 Your Content and License to Us

  • Ownership: You retain ownership of any original content that you post or submit on the Service (for example, the text and images in an event listing you create are owned by you). We do not claim ownership of your User Content.:
  • License to Us: However, to operate the Service, we require certain rights to your content. By submitting or posting User Content, you grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully-paid, sublicensable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, adapt (e.g. reformat or excerpt), publish, translate, publicly display and perform your Content in connection with the Service. This license is solely for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Service. For example, this license allows us to display your posts on our website, to distribute your content to other members who view it, to use excerpts in our marketing (such as showcasing a featured event on our blog or social media), and to make backups of our database that include your content. We will not sell your content to third parties or use it outside of promoting and facilitating the community.:
  • Duration of License: This content license continues until you remove your Content from the Service or until your account is deleted, and for a reasonable time thereafter as needed to remove content from backups and caches. Note that even after removal, your Content may persist in backup copies (for a limited time) and if your content has been shared by others (for example, if another user copied or saved it) we cannot force its deletion from those sources. Additionally, we may retain certain content as required by law or as evidence of activity (for example, in case of disputes). See our Privacy Policy for details on data retention.:
  • Your Username and Likeness: The license you grant also includes the right for us to use your username, profile photo, or other identifying information you provided, in association with your Content as it is displayed on the platform or in any promotional context directly related to the Content (for example, showing that a certain travel itinerary was posted by your username). We will not use your personal information or likeness for unrelated marketing without your consent.:

6.2 Content Standards and Restrictions

You agree that you are solely responsible for any Content you submit or post and for the consequences of doing so. When contributing content to the Service, you must adhere to the following rules:

  • Relevant and Appropriate: All User Content should be relevant to the purpose of our platform (family travel, events, skill-sharing, parenting, etc.) and appropriate for a general audience. Do not post content that is excessively off-topic or inappropriate for a family-focused community.:
  • Prohibited Content: You must NOT post or transmit any content that::
  • is illegal or promotes any illegal activity (including content that is defamatory, libelous, fraudulent, or violates intellectual property rights or any other rights of others);:
  • is hateful, harassing, abusive, threatening, or advocates violence or discrimination against any individual or group;:
  • is obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit (remember this is a community for families and may include content about children – any content that is exploitative or endangers a minor will be removed and may be reported to authorities);:
  • contains or promotes alcohol, tobacco, drugs or other age-inappropriate material in a way not suitable for a family platform;:
  • includes private or personal information of any person without consent. This includes personal data like phone numbers, physical addresses, full names (other than first name or username), email addresses, photographs of individuals who have not consented, or any sensitive personal details. Do not post sensitive personal information – either yours or someone else’s – in public listings. For example, if you create an event listing, use general location descriptions rather than exact home addresses, and use first names or pseudonyms rather than full names of you or your children.:
  • infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights of any party. Do not upload or share content (like photos, text, music, etc.) that you did not create or do not have permission to use. For example, do not copy someone else’s travel blog content or upload a photo you found on the internet.:
  • contains unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, junk mail, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or any other form of solicitation. (Exception: If our platform has a designated area for certain promotions or classifieds allowed by us, you must follow the specific rules for those areas. Otherwise, using the platform primarily to advertise your business or recruit customers is not allowed.):
  • contains any software viruses, worms, or any other malicious code designed to interrupt, damage, or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware.:
  • Quality and Accuracy: We encourage you to ensure that information in your listings or posts is accurate and fairly presented. For example, if you post an event, double-check dates and details; if you share a travel itinerary or advice, try to ensure it’s up-to-date and truthful. Do not deliberately post false or misleading information. We are not responsible for verifying the accuracy of user posts, but if we discover content that is clearly misinformation (especially if harmful), we may remove or correct it.:
  • No Impersonation or Deception: You may not impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone. Do not create content that falsely implies it is endorsed or authored by someone else (for example, don’t pretend to be an official travel guide or a representative of an organization if you’re not).:
  • Respect Others’ Privacy and Rights: If your content involves other individuals (e.g., if you mention another family or include someone in a photo), you must have their permission to include them or their information. In particular, if you include any information (text or photos) about minors other than your own children, you must have consent from their parent or guardian. Even for your own children, please use caution and only share information that is necessary and appropriate. Do not post pictures of children that could be considered sensitive or invasive to their privacy.:
  • Reporting Abuse: If you see content that you believe violates these guidelines or is otherwise objectionable, you can report it to us at support@blissinvestor.com. We will review reports and take appropriate action as needed (such as removing content and warning or banning the user who posted it).:

6.3 Moderation and Our Rights

  • Pre-Moderation: To maintain a safe community, user-submitted listings for events, skill exchanges, travel itineraries, and similar content may be subject to moderation. This means when you submit a listing, it may not appear publicly until one of our team reviews and approves it. We aim to review submissions promptly, but no guarantees on timing are made. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to accept, edit, or reject any listing or content submitted. We may edit content for minor issues (e.g. typos) or to remove disallowed personal information (e.g., we might redact a phone number or last name if posted publicly) while preserving the core information, but we are not obligated to edit — we might reject a post and ask you to revise it.:
  • Removal of Content: We have the right (though not the obligation) to monitor and moderate all user activity and content on the Service. We may remove, delete, or disable any User Content that, in our judgment, violates these Terms or that we deem inappropriate or unlawful, or for any other reasonable reason. This can include content that initially passed moderation but later was reported or found problematic. The Company is not liable for any consequences of removing or failing to remove any content.:
  • No Endorsement or Verification: Any User Content available through the Service is provided by third-party users, not by us. We do not endorse, guarantee, or certify any user-generated information, including events or advice. We do not routinely verify the identity or qualifications of users posting content or the truth of what they post. Use your discretion and caution when relying on information from other users. For example, if you attend an event posted by a user or engage in a skill exchange, understand that we have not vetted that user or event beyond a basic moderation of the posted description.:
  • User Interactions: You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Service, whether online or in person. We are not responsible for the behavior of any user (see Section 8: Member Interactions and Safety). If you arrange to meet or collaborate with other users through information on our platform, you do so at your own risk. We strongly encourage safe practices such as meeting in public places, informing someone you trust of your plans, and exercising good judgment regarding the safety of your children and yourself.:
  • Feedback and Suggestions: If you provide us with any suggestions, ideas, feedback, or reports about issues with the Service, you grant us a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to use and incorporate those suggestions or feedback into the Service (or our business operations) without any obligation to you. This is mainly to allow us to improve our service; we won’t treat your public posts as feedback under this clause, only communications you specifically direct to us as suggestions.:

By posting Content on our platform, you promise that it complies with the above guidelines. You will be liable for any legal claims that result from your Content (for example, if you post something defamatory or infringing, you could face legal consequences and be responsible for damages to the affected party). We expressly disclaim any liability for user-provided content (see Disclaimers in Section 12).

7. Acceptable Use Policy

In using our Service, you agree to the following additional rules of conduct, which apply to all aspects of your use (beyond the content of your posts):

  • Lawful Purposes: You will only use the Service for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You will not use the Service to engage in any unlawful, fraudulent, or malicious activity, nor to solicit the performance of any illegal activity.:
  • No Harmful Interference: You must not interfere with or disrupt the operation of the Service or the servers/networks used to make the Service available. This includes not engaging in any activities such as::
  • Launching or distributing any kind of harmful code, viruses, or attacks (e.g., denial-of-service attacks) against the Service.:
  • Attempting to gain unauthorized access to the Service or other users’ accounts, or to our computer systems or networks (for example, by hacking, password mining, or any other illegitimate means).:
  • Probing, scanning, or testing the vulnerability of any system or network related to the Service, or breaching any security or authentication measures.:
  • No Data Harvesting: You agree not to collect or harvest any information about other users of the Service without their consent. Scraping the website, using bots, spiders, or other automated systems to extract data (such as user profile information or listings) is prohibited. The only exception is publicly available search engine indexing for the purpose of search (and even that we may control via robots.txt). Any automated use of the system (such as using scripts to create accounts or post content) is not allowed without our express permission.:
  • No Spam or Misuse of Communication Tools: If the Service provides messaging or communication features (for example, the ability to send messages to other members or participate in forums/groups), you must use these features responsibly. You must not send spam, unwanted solicitations, or mass messages, and you must not harass or abuse others. Use communication tools primarily for the Service’s intended purposes (e.g., coordinating an event or exchange) and not for unrelated marketing or campaigning.:
  • Compliance with Policies: You will adhere to any other community guidelines or policies that we may introduce for users. From time to time, we may publish or update community standards or FAQs with best practices (for example, guidelines on arranging meet-ups safely, or how to format posts). These guidelines are typically not legally binding, but we expect users to follow them as a condition of participating in the community.:
  • No Commercial Use Without Permission: The Service is for personal and non-commercial use, except as explicitly permitted. You must not use the platform to sell products, services, or to conduct surveys, contests, or fundraising, unless such activity is expressly authorized by us (for example, if we establish a marketplace or allow certain advertising in the future under specific terms). You also must not use information from the Service to compete with us or to set up a similar platform.:
  • No Circumvention: You must not attempt to circumvent any content filtering techniques we employ, or attempt to access features or areas of the Service that you are not authorized to access. If certain content is only available to paid members, you should not attempt to access it through illegitimate means if you are not a paid member.:
  • Respect for Intellectual Property: Aside from the rules about content you upload (addressed in Section 6), you also agree not to misuse the Company’s intellectual property or other users’ content. This means you won’t copy, distribute, or create derivative works from content on the Service that is not yours, unless you have permission (see Section 10 on Intellectual Property for more details). Similarly, do not use our trademarks or name in a way that could confuse others as to source or endorsement (except as allowed under fair use).:
  • Use of Cookies and Technology: Our site uses cookies and similar technologies to improve user experience (as detailed in our Privacy Policy and/or Cookie Policy). By using our site, you consent to such use. You should not interfere with these technologies (for example, by maliciously exploiting them). You can adjust your cookie preferences in your browser, but blocking essential cookies may affect Service functionality.:

If you violate the above acceptable use provisions, we may take action including warning you, removing content, suspending or terminating your account, and/or informing law enforcement if laws were broken. Serious violations (such as attempts to hack our site or distribute malware) will result in immediate termination and possible legal action. We value the integrity and security of our platform and its users, and we appreciate your cooperation in keeping the community safe and respectful.

8. Member Interactions and Safety Disclaimer

Our platform enables you to interact with other users (for example, through events, meet-ups, or messaging). While we strive to foster a trustworthy community, it’s important to understand that we do not conduct background checks or verification on users beyond basic email verification. Exercise caution in all your interactions.

  • Meeting in Person: If you decide to meet other members in person (for example, attending a family event posted on our site or meeting another family during travels), you do so at your own risk. The Company does not supervise or control these events or meetings, does not provide any assessment of participants, and cannot guarantee their safety or conduct. You should take reasonable precautions — meet in public places, let someone know where you’re going, and do not put yourself or your children in a vulnerable situation. Each user is responsible for their own safety and the safety of their minor children when engaging with others through our Service.:
  • No Warranty on Other Users: We make no assurances about the character, honesty, or suitability of any user you may encounter. Any agreements, transactions, or arrangements made between you and other users (such as sharing accommodations on a trip, exchanging services, etc.) are solely between you and the other party. We are not a party to those agreements and have no liability for them. For example, if you agree with another member to swap houses for a vacation, that arrangement is entirely outside of our Service’s responsibility, even if you met the person through our platform.:
  • Disputes Between Users: If you have a dispute with one or more users (e.g., someone didn’t show up to an agreed meet-up, or you feel another user has misused information), you release the Company (and our officers, directors, employees, and agents) from all claims, demands, and damages of any kind, known or unknown, arising out of or connected with such dispute. However, we still encourage you to report bad behavior or rule violations to us, and we may choose to intervene by moderating content or, in some cases, banning a user if they clearly violate our Terms. But we will not arbitrate or resolve private disputes; that is up to the parties involved or appropriate authorities.:
  • Reporting and Assistance: If at any point you feel unsafe or believe another user is acting inappropriately, please report the user to us and, if appropriate, to law enforcement. For instance, any suspected abuse or endangerment of a child should be reported to the appropriate authorities immediately. We will cooperate with law enforcement or child protection agencies as required by law.:
  • Communications: Be mindful of the information you share in communications with others on the platform. Avoid giving out sensitive personal details too quickly, such as your home address or financial information. We will never ask you for sensitive personal information via direct message. Any communication that seems suspicious or that attempts to obtain money or personal data (e.g., phishing attempts or scams) should be reported to us.:
  • Content Visibility: Note that content you post in public areas (like event listings or forum discussions) will be visible to other members of the platform (and potentially to the public if our site indexes certain pages for SEO). Do not post anything publicly that you wouldn’t want others to see. For example, avoid posting your children’s full names, your exact travel itinerary including precise dates and addresses, etc., on public pages. Use private messaging for more sensitive coordination if needed, and even then, share personal info cautiously.:
  • Third-Party Services: If you choose to interact with other members via third-party services or platforms (for example, moving a conversation to a WhatsApp group, or meeting via a video call on Zoom), be aware that those services are not controlled by us and have their own terms and privacy policies. We cannot protect you on those external platforms; use them at your own discretion.:
  • Child Safety: Protecting children is of paramount importance. If you are a parent arranging a meetup or exchange, never leave your children unattended with strangers you met through the internet until you’ve established trust over time. The platform is meant to connect families, not to facilitate unsupervised child interactions. You as the parent/guardian should supervise all in-person meetups involving your children. Our platform is not a babysitting or childcare service marketplace; any informal arrangements you make with other parents (e.g., trading babysitting duties) are private arrangements, and we hold no liability for how they turn out.:

Summary: You acknowledge that your use of the Service to connect with others is at your own risk. We provide tools for connection and information sharing, but we cannot guarantee safety or compatibility between members. Always use common sense and caution in your interactions. The Company disclaims any responsibility for the actions of individuals you meet through the Service, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9. Privacy and Data Protection

Your privacy is very important to us. Our collection, use, and processing of personal data through the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy available at https://blissinvestor.com/privacy, which we urge you to read. By using the Service, you consent to our handling of your personal information as described in the Privacy Policy. Key points include:

  • Compliance: We comply with applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal information.:
  • Personal Data You Provide: When you register and use the Service, you will provide certain personal data (such as your name, email, and profile details like your family demographics). We use this information to provide the Service to you, to facilitate connections (for example, showing your profile or listings to other users), and to improve our platform. We may also collect usage data (like site analytics) as described in the Privacy Policy.:
  • Sensitive Information: We understand that some data you may include (like children’s ages or your travel plans) could be considered sensitive. We encourage you to limit the personal details you share on public parts of the platform. Apart from profile fields explicitly provided for (which you fill at your discretion), do not post personally identifying information about children. We treat any child-related data you provide as sensitive and handle it with care as per our Privacy Policy.:
  • Anonymization: In some cases, we may use techniques to anonymize or aggregate user data for analytics or improvement of the Service. For example, we might compile statistics like “number of families traveling to Europe this summer” without revealing individual identities. Any anonymized data will contain no personally identifiable information and may be used freely by us.:
  • User Communications: If you communicate with other users through our platform, be aware that some of those communications (like forum posts or comments) are public to members. Private messages between users are generally accessible only to the sender and recipient, but note that our admin team could access them if required for moderation (for example, if a user reports harassment in a private message). We respect your privacy in private communications and will not monitor them except if a violation is reported or suspected.:
  • Third-Party Processors: We rely on third-party services for certain functions (for example, Stripe for payments, as noted, or possibly email service providers for sending notifications). Each of these providers is vetted for their security measures and will only receive the minimum data necessary to perform their function. They are contractually obligated to protect your data. See Privacy Policy for details.:
  • Cookies: Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience and analyze usage. For detailed information on what cookies we use and your choices, please refer to our Privacy Policy (or Cookie Policy). When you first visit, you will have the opportunity to manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use the site, you agree to our use of cookies (subject to your settings).:
  • Your Rights: As a data subject, you have rights regarding your personal data. These may include the right to access the data we hold on you, correct inaccuracies, request deletion of certain data, and withdraw consent for marketing communications. To learn more or exercise these rights, follow the instructions in our Privacy Policy or contact us at support@blissinvestor.com.:
  • Confidentiality: We will keep your personal information confidential and will only share it with third parties in accordance with our Privacy Policy (for example, when required by law, or with service providers as mentioned). We also expect you to respect the privacy of others: if you obtain personal information about other users through the Service (for example, you learn someone’s email via an event RSVP), you agree to use that information only for the purposes of participating in the Service (e.g., coordinating that event) and not for any other purpose without the person’s consent. You must not misuse other users’ personal data, and you must protect it just as you’d want yours protected.:
  • Data Breach: We have measures in place to protect your data, but in the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities as required by law.:
  • Further Information: For more detailed information, always refer to the full Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.:

10. Intellectual Property Rights

10.1 Our Content

All content and materials provided by the Company through the Service (excluding User Content as defined earlier) are the property of the Company or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. This includes, but is not limited to, the platform’s software and code, the design, layout, and look-and-feel of the website, the Company’s trademarks, logos and brand elements, our compiled listings or database, text or articles written by us, images we provide, and any other proprietary content provided by the Company (collectively, “Company Content”).

  • License to You: We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service and Company Content for your personal, non-commercial use in accordance with these Terms. You may view, download (cache) pages from the site for your own personal reference, and print pages for your personal use (for example, printing an event listing to bring with you), but you may not copy, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our content without our express written permission.:
  • Restrictions: You must not::
  • Reproduce or redistribute any Company Content or materials from the Service for commercial purposes without permission. (For instance, you cannot take information from our site and publish it on your own site or app, or compile our listings in a competing service.):
  • Use any of our trademarks, logos, or branding without our consent. Our company name, logo, and other brand identifiers are protected. You may not remove any trademark, copyright, or other proprietary notices from materials you obtain from the Service.:
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any software or technology used to provide the Service, except as allowed by law (and if law mandates an allowance, you must notify us and give us a chance to provide needed info in lieu of such acts).:
  • Use or display any of our content in a frame or as part of any other website (e.g., via embedding or iframing) without our permission, in a way that misrepresents the content as yours or doesn’t properly acknowledge our ownership. (Simple linking to our site is fine, but, for example, pulling our event listings into another site’s interface is not allowed.):
  • Open Source and Third-Party Components: Our website runs on WordPress and uses the MemberPress plugin, among other tools. These platforms may include their own open-source components or third-party libraries subject to their own licenses. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under the licenses of those open-source components. However, your use of our implementation of them is still subject to these Terms so far as it interacts with our proprietary content and service.:
  • Reservation of Rights: All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by the Company. This means that aside from the limited license above, you have no other rights, title or interest in any Company Content or the Service itself. We may terminate the above license at any time if you breach these Terms.:

10.2 User Content License between Users

While Section 6 covers the license you give to the Company, it’s worth clarifying what other users can do with your content: When you post User Content publicly (such as an event listing), other users and visitors to the Service can view that content. They are allowed to use it for personal and non-commercial purposes (for example, a family can read your event listing and decide to attend). However, other users are not granted a license by you to republish or exploit your content outside of the platform. For instance, another user should not copy your travel itinerary write-up and post it on their own blog without your permission. We do not supply an automatic license for that. If you believe another user is misusing your content, please inform us.

By necessity, other users may save a copy of information for personal use (like printing an event detail or downloading an image you posted to view later). By posting content, you acknowledge such personal use by others is possible. But any wider distribution or commercial use by them would violate these Terms (specifically the Acceptable Use and Intellectual Property provisions) unless you separately allow it.

10.3 DMCA and Copyright Infringement Policy

If you believe that any content on our Service infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please notify us immediately. We will respond to legitimate takedown notices and requests in accordance with applicable law (including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) for U.S. issues, and analogous UK/EU laws for local issues). Generally, a notification should include identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the infringing material and its location (URL) on our Service, your contact info, and a statement of good faith and accuracy under penalty of perjury, etc. (If you are not sure how to format this, see standard DMCA notice templates.) You can send such notices to support@blissinvestor.com. We will investigate and, if appropriate, remove or disable the infringing content. We may also terminate the accounts of repeat infringers when appropriate.

Conversely, if your content was removed due to a notice and you believe it was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice with similar detail and we will follow the proper procedures (which may include restoring the content if the complaining party does not pursue legal action in a timely manner).

We respect intellectual property rights and expect our users to do the same.

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by the Company, or you might communicate with or access third-party services through our platform.

  • External Links: If our site or users’ content provides links or references to external websites (for example, a link to a travel blog, a venue’s website for an event, or a partner’s website), these links are provided for convenience and informational purposes. We do not endorse and are not responsible for any third-party content, websites, or services. We have no control over the contents or practices of any third-party websites. Visiting those sites and interacting with them is at your own risk, and you should review their terms and policies before using them.:
  • Integration with Third-Party Services: Our Service might integrate with or use services provided by third parties. For example::
  • Payment processing by Stripe (as discussed): your financial transactions are subject to Stripe’s terms of service and privacy practices.:
  • If we use any mapping services (like Google Maps API for showing event locations), or social media plugins (like a Facebook login or share button), those are third-party services and by using those features you might also be agreeing to those third parties’ terms (for instance, Google’s terms if Google Maps is displayed). We will indicate when such third-party terms apply where feasible.:
  • Member communications might use third-party infrastructure (for example, an email service or a messaging gateway); while we choose reputable providers, they have their own policies beyond our control.:
  • No Liability for Third Parties: The Company shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any dealings with third parties via our Service. If you have a problem with a third-party (such as you feel you were defrauded on a site one of our users linked to, or an external service associated with an event malfunctioned), you need to address that with the third-party directly. We definitely want to know if a third-party link on our site is harmful or violating our ethos (so we can remove links or warn users), but we are not in a position to resolve the underlying issue or pay damages.:
  • Third-Party Login or OAuth: If our Service allows you to log in or integrate via a third-party account (e.g., “Log in with Facebook” or Google OAuth), be aware that by using that you are allowing us to receive certain information from that third-party (like your email or name associated with them). We will handle that information per our Privacy Policy, but the actual login process is governed by the third-party’s terms. Also, if your third-party account is compromised or you lose access, we are not responsible for that—though we will try to help you regain access to our Service by other means if possible.:
  • Third-Party Content in User Posts: Sometimes users might include third-party content in their own posts (like embedding a YouTube video or an image hosted elsewhere). We cannot fully prevent or monitor this. Such content is the responsibility of whoever provided it (the user and the third-party source). If you see problematic third-party content embedded, report it.:
  • Affiliates and Partners: On occasion, we might have official partnerships. For instance, we could partner with a travel insurance company and provide a link or info. If anything we present is a paid promotion or affiliate link, we will strive to clearly disclose it. But even for our official partners, unless explicitly stated, they are separate entities. Interactions you have with them are not covered by our Terms but by theirs.:

In summary: be careful when leaving our site or sharing your information on other platforms. We want you to have a smooth experience, but once you’re dealing with a third party, their rules and responsibilities apply.

12. Disclaimers of Warranties

The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company disclaims all warranties, express or implied, in connection with the Service and your use of it. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • No Guarantee of Content Accuracy or Quality: We do not warrant that the content posted on our platform (whether by us or by users) is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. User Content, especially, is provided by third parties and we do not verify all facts or claims. For example, we can’t guarantee that an event listing has the correct time or that a travel recommendation is up-to-date. Always use your own judgment and verify important details independently when possible.:
  • No Warranty of Fitness or Results: We make no guarantees that using the Service will lead to any specific outcomes for you or your family. For instance, we do not promise that you will successfully find travel partners, skill exchange matches, or that any event will meet your expectations. Any arrangements you make via the Service are at your discretion and risk. The Service’s goal is to facilitate connections and information, but you assume all responsibility for what you do with that information.:
  • Service Availability: We do not warrant that the Service will be available uninterrupted or error-free at all times. There may be occasions when the site is unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, or reasons beyond our control. We will strive to keep downtime minimal, but we are not liable for any inconvenience or loss caused by Service unavailability or slow performance. We do not guarantee that the Service will be compatible with your devices or that it will be free of viruses or other harmful components (though we take security seriously and aim to prevent such issues). It is your responsibility to use up-to-date antivirus and security software on your devices.:
  • Quality of Third-Party Dealings: We make no warranty regarding any goods, services, or information provided by any third parties (including other users) that you may obtain through the Service. For example, if you arrange to purchase something or swap skills with another user, or if you rely on advice posted by someone, that is solely between you and them. We provide no assurances and specifically disclaim responsibility for the conduct of users and the quality of their offerings or information.:
  • No Professional Advice: Any information or materials on our Service (including articles we might write, or posts by users) are for general informational purposes only. We are not providing legal, medical, travel, or any other professional advice specific to your situation. For instance, suggestions for traveling with kids are personal opinions, not vetted professional guidance. Always consult appropriate professionals or authoritative sources for advice that significantly impacts you (like health or safety decisions during travel).:
  • Implied Warranties: To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim any and all implied warranties or conditions that might apply to the Service. This includes implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any arising from a course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your specific requirements or expectations.:
  • Digital Service Quality: While we aim to provide our Service with reasonable care and skill, the Service’s quality and performance depend on many factors (including some outside our control like your internet connection). We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free or that any defects will be corrected immediately. That said, if something is not working, we appreciate you bringing it to our attention and we will do our best to fix issues promptly.:
  • Written Information: Any documentation or information (like tutorials, FAQs, or these Terms themselves) provided on the Service is also provided “as is” without warranty of any kind as to its accuracy or completeness. Policies and features can change, and while we try to keep information updated, there might be some delays or errors in documentation.:

If you are a consumer in the UK: Please note that nothing in this disclaimer affects your statutory rights. For example, under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, digital services provided must be as described, fit for purpose, and provided with reasonable care and skill. If we fail to meet those standards, you may have a right to a remedy (such as having the service re-performed or a price reduction). The disclaimers above apply only to the extent consistent with those statutory rights and are not intended to exclude or limit them. In the event of any conflict between this Section and your statutory rights, your statutory rights will prevail.

In summary, you use our Service at your own risk. We provide a platform and tools, but we cannot control everything that happens on or through it. Always be smart and cautious in your use of any online service, including ours.

13. Limitation of Liability

Please read this section carefully – it limits the Company’s liability to you for issues that may arise in connection with your use of the Service. Nothing in this section is intended to limit rights that cannot be limited by law.

  • No Indirect or Consequential Damages: To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company and its directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, and affiliates will not be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages. This includes, without limitation, damages for lost profits, lost data, personal injury, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of goodwill, business interruption, or any other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service or any dealings with other users or third parties, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. For example, we are not liable if::
  • You incur costs or losses because an event you learned about on our site was cancelled or misrepresented.:
  • You experience conflict or injury in connection with meeting another user – we are not liable for the actions of third parties.:
  • There is unauthorized access to or alteration of your content or data due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.:
  • The Service is unavailable or a bug causes data loss – aside from trying to fix it, we won’t owe damages for such downtime or errors.:
  • Cap on Direct Damages: To the fullest extent permitted by law, the maximum total liability of the Company (and its affiliates, employees, etc.) to you for any and all claims arising from or related to the Service or these Terms shall be limited to the total amount of fees you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim (or £50 GBP, if greater). If, for example, you have paid £100 total in subscription fees over the last year, that £100 is the maximum we would potentially owe you for any claims. If you have paid nothing (e.g., you only used free features), our liability to you shall not exceed £50. This limitation applies whether the claim is based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory.:
  • No Liability for User Content or Conduct: You agree that we have no responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of other users or for content that any user posts. The interactions and transactions between users are solely the responsibility of those users. We provide tools to facilitate those interactions, but we do not assume liability for the outcome. (For instance, if one user defrauds another, or if someone posts defamatory content, we are not responsible for the original act – however, we will address misuse of our platform when we become aware, as described elsewhere.):
  • Release: If you have a dispute with any other user(s) or third party arising from your use of the Service, you release the Company (and our officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and partners) from any and all claims, demands and damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. This clause reinforces Section 8 on user disputes. UK consumers: this release is intended to apply to the extent permitted by law and does not override any mandatory rights you have. It simply means we want no part of private quarrels between users or between users and outside parties.:
  • Exceptions – What We Do Not Limit or Exclude: We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes::
  • Liability for Death or Personal Injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents, or subcontractors;:
  • Liability for Fraud or Fraudulent Misrepresentation;:
  • Any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (for example, certain liabilities under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, or for breach of your statutory rights regarding the provision of digital services, to the extent those cannot be excluded).:
  • Scope of Limitations: The limitations of liability and disclaimers in these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law and apply whether the liability arises from breach of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory. If applicable law does not allow the limitation of liability for certain damages (such as in some jurisdictions disallowing exclusion of incidental or consequential damages), the limitations in this section may not fully apply to you. But in such cases, our liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.:
  • For Consumers (Non-Business Users): Nothing in these Terms is meant to deprive you of any consumer protections under law. We are required by law to provide services with reasonable care and skill and to provide digital content that is as described. If we fail to do so, you have rights which these Terms cannot override. The limitations in this section are intended to reflect that our Service fee (if any) is modest relative to potential unpredictable damages, and to allocate risk. But we reiterate: these Terms do not affect your rights under statutory law that cannot be waived. If you use the Service for any commercial or business purposes (which is not our intended use-case), we will not be liable to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.:

By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree to these limitations of liability. You agree that these limitations are reasonable given the nature of the Service and the community. If you do not agree, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Service.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, expenses, or costs (”Claims”), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising out of or related to:

  • Your Use of the Service: Any use or misuse of the Service by you or someone using your account that violates these Terms or any law.:
  • Your Content: Any User Content you submit, post, or otherwise make available through the Service. This includes any Claims that such content infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party, or that it is defamatory, obscene, or otherwise illegal or injurious. You are responsible for what you publish. For example, if you post a photo you don’t have rights to and the copyright owner sues us, or if you defame someone in a forum and they take legal action against us, you agree to cover the costs and damages that we incur due to your content.:
  • Your Interactions and Off-Platform Actions: Any dealings or arrangements you have with other users or third parties that you connected with through our Service. For instance, if you host an event and something goes wrong that leads to a lawsuit, or if you sell something to another user in violation of our Terms, you agree not to drag the Company into that dispute, or if we are brought in, you will indemnify us.:
  • Breach of These Terms: Any breach or alleged breach by you of any provision of these Terms or of any representation or warranty you have made to us under these Terms.:
  • Violation of Laws or Rights: Your violation of any law or regulation, or of the rights of any third party, in connection with your use of the Service.:

We reserve the right to handle our legal defense however we see fit, even if you are indemnifying us, in which case you agree to cooperate with us so we can execute that strategy. For example, we might choose our own lawyers or decide to settle, and you agree we can make those decisions and you will still indemnify us for the costs. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

This indemnity obligation will survive termination of your account and this Agreement. That means even if you delete your account or we terminate your access, you could still be responsible for claims related to your past activities on the Service.

15. Termination and Suspension

Both you and the Company have the right to terminate this agreement and your use of the Service, as follows:

  • By You – Cancelling Your Account: You may terminate your account and stop using the Service at any time, for any reason. You can achieve this by cancelling any subscription (as described in Section 5) and contacting us to request account deletion, or by using any self-service account deletion function if available. Termination of your account will be effective once processed (it may not be immediate if there’s any pending transactions or we need to verify identity). Note that simply uninstalling an app or just not logging in will not automatically cancel your subscription – you must follow the proper steps to cancel to stop recurring charges. Upon termination by you, you will lose access to any features that require an account. No refunds will be provided for any subscription fees already paid, except as provided in Section 5 or required by law.:
  • By Us – Termination or Suspension: We may, in our discretion, suspend or terminate your account or your access to all or part of the Service at any time and without liability to you, under the following circumstances::
  • If you breach these Terms or any other policies applicable to the Service, or we suspect you have done so.:
  • If you engage in conduct that we believe in good faith to be illegal, fraudulent, or that poses a threat to other users, third parties, or the integrity of the platform (even if it’s not explicitly covered in these Terms).:
  • If you fail to pay subscription fees when due and do not remedy that after being given an opportunity.:
  • If we need to do so to comply with a legal requirement or court order; or:
  • If we decide to discontinue the Service entirely (in which case termination would likely be for all users, not just you).:
  • Effects of Termination: Upon termination of your account, whether by you or us::
  • Your right to use the Service will immediately cease, and any licenses granted to you by these Terms will end. You must stop all activities authorized by these Terms, including use of the Service.:
  • We may deactivate or delete your account and all related information, files, and content associated with it, or we may retain certain information as required or allowed by law (and per our Privacy Policy). Content you have posted may no longer be accessible to you, but as noted in Section 6, some of your User Content might remain visible to others (for example, posts in a public forum might stay up even if your account is terminated, possibly attributed to an “anonymous” or deactivated user). We reserve the right to decide whether we remove or keep such content available. If you have specific concerns, you can contact us.:
  • If you were in the middle of any arrangements with other users, it is up to you to notify them or conclude those arrangements, as you may no longer have access to the messaging or event tools on our platform post-termination.:
  • Any subscription(s) will be ended, and we will not charge you further. If we terminated your account due to your breach of Terms or misconduct, you will not be entitled to any refund of fees already paid. If we terminated your account without cause (for instance, as part of a shutdown of the service or a purge of inactive users), we may in our discretion refund a prorated portion of any prepaid fees covering the period after termination.:
  • Service Discontinuation: We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the Service (in whole or in part) at any time, with or without notice. If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will make an effort to notify active subscribers in advance when feasible, and provide instructions for retrieving your data (if applicable). If the entire Service is shut down, remaining paid subscribers may receive a pro-rata refund for unused service periods (unless the discontinuation is due to force majeure or events outside our control that prevent us from offering refunds).:
  • Survival: All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination (such as ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and liability limitations, governing law, etc.) shall survive termination of your access or account.:
  • No Future Use: If your account has been terminated by us for a violation, you are not permitted to create a new account or use the Service again without our explicit permission. We may employ technical measures to block access by terminated accounts or those associated with them.:

Termination is without prejudice to any rights or liabilities that have accrued prior to the date of termination. In plain language, if you or we terminate the relationship, it doesn’t wipe away liability for things that happened before termination. For example, if you owed money or had a legal dispute ongoing, that still needs resolution.

If you have questions about managing or deleting your account, you can contact our support for guidance.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may revise or update these Terms of Service from time to time. If we make material changes, we will give you notice through reasonable means, which may include posting the updated Terms on our website (with a new effective date indicated at the top) and/or sending you an email notification or in-account message.

  • Advance Notice: When feasible, we will provide advance notice of significant changes. Minor changes (such as clarifications, typos, or changes that do not negatively affect your rights) may become effective immediately upon posting. Major changes that affect your rights or obligations will generally become effective at least 14 days after posting the revised Terms, unless a shorter period is required by law or necessary for legal reasons.:
  • Acceptance of Changes: By continuing to use the Service after the updated Terms have become effective, you indicate that you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, you must stop using the Service and, if applicable, cancel your membership before the changes take effect. If a change materially affects and you object to it, you may terminate your subscription and we will refund any prepaid amounts for the period after termination (if applicable), as your sole remedy.:
  • Review Regularly: It is your responsibility to review the Terms periodically. We will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document whenever we make changes. You should check that date and review any changes since your last use of the Service. We may also keep an archive or change log of past terms available for reference.:
  • Emergency Changes: Occasionally, we may need to implement changes immediately due to legal requirements or to address an unforeseen risk or security issue. In such cases, we might not be able to give prior notice, but we will still inform users as soon as practicable.:
  • Severability of Changes: If any provision in the updated Terms is found invalid or unenforceable (for reasons similar to those discussed in Section 17 on Severability), the remaining provisions of the updated Terms will remain in full force.:

Your continued use of the Service signifies your acceptance of any changes. If you have questions about any update to the Terms, please contact us for clarification.

17. Miscellaneous

This section covers various additional provisions that form part of these Terms:

  • Governing Law: These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. This law will apply no matter what country you reside in, though if you are a consumer, you will not be deprived of any mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence.:
  • Jurisdiction: You and the Company agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdictionto settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service. However, if you are a consumer resident in Northern Ireland or Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts. Similarly, if you are an EU consumer, you may have the right to bring actions in the country where you live. We do not exclude any such rights you may have by law. The main point is that English law governs, but jurisdiction will follow what the law mandates for consumer contracts.:
  • No Waiver: If we fail to enforce any right or provision of these Terms, that does not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. Similarly, the waiver of any breach of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. For example, if you violate a rule and we don’t act immediately, we still reserve the right to act on it later or enforce that rule with other users.:
  • Severability: If any provision (or part of a provision) of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or competent authority, then that provision or part will be deemed to be severed from the Terms and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified or interpreted in a way that best accomplishes the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law.:
  • Entire Agreement: These Terms (together with any additional guidelines, rules, or terms expressly incorporated by reference, such as our Privacy Policy and any membership terms on the signup page) constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding your use of the Service. They supersede and replace any prior agreements, understandings, or arrangements between you and us, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any representation, warranty, or statement not expressly set out in these Terms.:
  • Relationship of Parties: Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship between you and the Company. You and we are independent contractors. You have no authority to act on behalf of or bind the Company. The Service is provided to you as a user, not as our agent or representative.:
  • Assignment: You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law or otherwise. We will notify you if such a transfer occurs if it affects the service provided to you.:
  • Third-Party Rights: These Terms are between you and us. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, a person who is not a party to these Terms (other than our affiliates under these Terms) has no right under the UK Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (or equivalent laws) to enforce any term of these Terms. However, our affiliates, and our and their officers, directors, employees, and agents, are intended third-party beneficiaries of the provisions of these Terms that disclaim warranties, limit liability, or provide protection to us, and in that capacity, they shall have the right to enforce those provisions directly.:
  • Notices: We may provide notices or communications to you via email (to the address associated with your account), via postal mail (if you provided an address), via notices on our website, or through other legally acceptable means. You are responsible for keeping your contact information up-to-date so you can receive notices. Official notices to us should be sent via email to support@blissinvestor.com and via mail to our registered office address provided above, unless we specify a different channel for specific types of issues (e.g., copyright notices as mentioned earlier). Email notices to us are considered received when actually received by our responsible team.:
  • Language: These Terms are written in English. If we provide a translation in another language, it is for convenience, and the English text will prevail in case of any conflict or ambiguity in interpretation.:
  • Headings: The section titles and headings in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.:
  • Force Majeure: We are not responsible for any failure or delay in our performance under these Terms that is due to causes beyond our reasonable control, such as acts of God, war, terrorism, civil disturbances, strikes, pandemics, fires, floods, earthquakes, power or internet outages, or other disruptions. We will do our best to resume service as soon as such events are resolved.:
  • Contact Information: If you have any questions, concerns, or inquiries about these Terms or the Service, you can contact us at::
  • Address: BLISS VENTURES LLP, 7 Constantine Way, Bancroft Park, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom, MK13 0RA:

We will do our best to respond promptly to all legitimate inquiries.

Thank you for reading our Terms of Service. We appreciate your time and attention to these details, as they help keep our community safe and enjoyable for everyone. By using the Service, you are agreeing to these Terms and helping to create a trustworthy space for all our members. Happy connecting, and we hope you and your family find great value in our platform!
