- Messaging Plus Terms & Conditions.These Messaging Plus Terms and Conditions govern your license and use of Joy's premium Messaging Plus feature ("Messaging Plus"). By purchasing Messaging Plus, you are acquiring a license to access a premium digital feature and agree to be bound by these Messaging Plus Terms and Conditions, which are governed by and hereby incorporate Joy's Terms of Use and End User License Agreement set forth above. Any terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Terms of Use. To the extent any conflict exists between the terms set forth in these Messaging Plus Terms and Conditions and the terms set forth in Joy's Terms of Use, these Messaging Plus Terms and Conditions shall control.
- Scope of Use; Single-Event Restriction.Messaging Plus may only be used in connection with a single Event for which the feature was purchased. You may use Messaging Plus up to the Event date and for up to ninety (90) days after the Event date has passed, provided that in no case shall access to Messaging Plus extend beyond fifteen (15) months from the original date of purchase, regardless of any changes to the Event date ("Absolute Expiration Date"). Upon the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days after the Event date or (b) the Absolute Expiration Date, your access to Messaging Plus will automatically expire.
Messaging Plus cannot be used for multiple Events by a single user, including, but not limited to, use by wedding planners, event coordinators, or other third parties managing Events on behalf of others. Any use of Messaging Plus for multiple Events or for any Event other than the single Event for which it was purchased violates these terms.
Joy reserves the right to modify the Event date associated with a Messaging Plus purchase no more than one (1) time upon your request, subject to the Absolute Expiration Date. Additional Event date changes may be granted at Joy's sole discretion.
- Message Limits.Joy reserves the right to impose, modify, or enforce reasonable limits on the number of SMS or text messages that may be sent through Messaging Plus, including but not limited to a limit of three thousand (3,000) messages per Event. Joy may adjust these limits at any time in its sole discretion, with or without prior notice, based on factors including but not limited to cost, system capacity, and abuse prevention. Messages sent in excess of any applicable limit may not be delivered, and Joy shall have no liability for undelivered messages that exceed such limits.
- Refund Policy.There are no refunds once Messaging Plus has been purchased, except in Joy's sole discretion or if legally required. In cases where Joy terminates your access to Messaging Plus due to a violation of these terms, Joy may, but is not obligated to, issue a refund at its sole discretion.
- Guest Consent and TCPA Compliance.By using Messaging Plus and uploading guest contact information, you represent and warrant that: (a) you have obtained the prior express consent of each individual to whom messages will be sent; (b) you have permission to provide each individual's contact information to Joy; and (c) Joy has permission to send messages to each individual on your behalf at your request.
You are solely responsible for complying with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), all regulations promulgated thereunder, and any other applicable federal, state, or local laws, rules, and regulations governing text messaging and electronic communications. You may not use Messaging Plus to send text messages to telephone numbers that may not legally receive such messages under the TCPA or other applicable laws. If you do not have permission to send text messages to a guest, or if you have reason to believe that a guest no longer wishes to receive such messages, you agree not to send messages to that individual through Messaging Plus.
It is solely your responsibility to send text messages at a reasonable hour for the recipient of any and all messages. You also represent and warrant to Joy that you and each person you have instructed Joy to message understands that each recipient is responsible for the costs of any text message charges assessed by his/her/their mobile carrier. STANDARD TEXT MESSAGE RATES MAY APPLY for recipients of text messages.
You agree to indemnify and hold Joy harmless from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from your failure to obtain proper consent or your violation of the TCPA or any other applicable law in connection with your use of Messaging Plus.
- Guest Opt-Out.Guests who no longer wish to receive messages sent through Messaging Plus may opt out at any time by replying with a standard opt-out command, including but not limited to "STOP," "CANCEL," "UNSUBSCRIBE," "END," or "QUIT." Joy will honor all such opt-out requests and will not deliver further messages to any guest who has opted out. Once a guest has opted out, you must not attempt to contact that guest through Messaging Plus or circumvent the opt-out in any way. Joy is not responsible for any messages that may be in transit at the time a guest submits an opt-out request.
- Prohibited Use; Anti-Spam and Abuse.Messaging Plus is intended solely for personal, non-commercial communications related to the Event for which the feature was purchased, including but not limited to weddings, birthdays, corporate events, bar and bat mitzvahs, and other social gatherings. You agree that you will not use Messaging Plus to:
- Send unsolicited commercial messages, advertisements, promotions, or spam of any kind;
- Send messages unrelated to the Event for which Messaging Plus was purchased;
- Send messages that are harassing, threatening, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;
- Send messages that violate any applicable law, rule, or regulation;
- Distribute malware, phishing links, or other harmful content; or
- Resell, redistribute, or provide access to Messaging Plus to any third party.
Joy reserves the right to monitor messaging activity for compliance with these terms. If Joy determines, in its sole discretion, that an account is misusing the Messaging Plus feature for non-Event purposes, engaging in spam or abusive messaging, or otherwise violating these terms, Joy may take any or all of the following actions without prior notice: (a) suspend or permanently revoke the user's access to Messaging Plus; (b) block pending or future messages; and/or (c) in cases of egregious or repeated violations, terminate the user's entire Joy account. Joy may, but is not obligated to, issue a refund of the Messaging Plus purchase price in connection with any such enforcement action.
- Message Content.All messages composed, edited, or sent through Messaging Plus shall be considered "User Content" under Joy's Terms of Use and are subject to all applicable provisions governing User Content, including restrictions on unlawful, harmful, or infringing content. Messages must not contain any content that is commercial in nature or that violates these Messaging Plus Terms and Conditions, Joy's Terms of Use, or applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation the TCPA. Joy reserves the right to review, screen, block, or remove any message content at any time and for any reason without notice.

Not all mobile devices, handsets, or carriers may be supported, and messages may not be deliverable in all areas.
Joy, its service providers (including third-party messaging platforms), and the mobile carriers through which messages are transmitted are not liable for delayed, failed, or undelivered messages. Joy makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding the reliability, speed, or successful delivery of any message sent through Messaging Plus. You agree that Joy shall have no liability whatsoever for any damages, losses, or consequences arising from or related to the failure or delay of message delivery.
- Modifications to Messaging Plus.Features may be added to or removed from Messaging Plus from time to time, in Joy's sole discretion. Joy is under no obligation to make any changes, updates, or improvements to Messaging Plus. Joy reserves the right to discontinue the Messaging Plus feature entirely at any time.
- Scope of Use; Single-Event Restriction.Messaging Plus may only be used in connection with a single Event for which the feature was purchased. You may use Messaging Plus up to the Event date and for up to ninety (90) days after the Event date has passed, provided that in no case shall access to Messaging Plus extend beyond fifteen (15) months from the original date of purchase, regardless of any changes to the Event date ("Absolute Expiration Date"). Upon the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days after the Event date or (b) the Absolute Expiration Date, your access to Messaging Plus will automatically expire.
- Arbitration Agreement; Class Waiver; Waiver of Trial by Jury.PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH JOY, AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
- Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by Joy that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms set forth below (the "Arbitration Agreement"), except that neither of us are required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Joy, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.
- Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), an established alternative dispute resolution provider ("ADR Provider") that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of this arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules conflict with the Terms ("Arbitration Rules"). The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than ten thousand U.S. dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is ten thousand U.S. dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Additional Rules for Non-appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected as provided above, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.
- Authority of the Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Joy, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the Arbitration Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Joy.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND JOY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Joy in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND JOY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
- Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms, in the event that this subparagraph is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead all claims and disputes shall be resolved in a court located in Los Angeles County, California.
- Confidentiality. No part of the procedures shall be open to the public or the media. All evidence discovered or submitted at the hearing is confidential and may not be disclosed, except by written agreement of the parties, pursuant to court order or unless required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be prevented from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Arbitration Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
- Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
- Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Joy may bring an individual action in small claims court.
- Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in St. Louis, Missouri, for such purpose.
- Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Joy.
- Governing Law; Venue.The laws of the State of Washington, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern your use of the App. Your use of the App may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to the App, the Service or this agreement shall be filed only in the state and federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of the App.
