Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "Vendor," or "Client") and Yardy Know Ent. LLC, a California limited liability company operating as YK Entertainment ("we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website located at https://yardyknowent.com and any related services (collectively, the "Platform").

By accessing or using the Platform, creating an account, submitting an inquiry, or completing a booking, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in full. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Platform.

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. Vendors are additionally subject to the Vendor Agreement, which is incorporated by reference.

YK Entertainment is an online marketplace connecting clients planning events in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas of California with independent event vendors including, but not limited to, DJs, photographers, videographers, caterers, event planners, florists, and related service providers.

We provide the technology platform that facilitates discovery, communication, and booking between clients and vendors. We are not a party to any contract or agreement between a client and a vendor, we do not employ any vendor, we do not endorse or verify vendor credentials beyond good-faith review, and we do not guarantee the quality, safety, legality, or outcome of any service provided by any vendor.

YK Entertainment reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Platform at any time, with or without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

To access certain features of the Platform, you must create an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.
• Maintain the security of your password and account credentials.
• Notify us immediately at yardyknowent@gmail.com of any unauthorized use of your account.
• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized it.

You may not use the Platform to: (a) violate any applicable law or regulation; (b) infringe the rights of any third party; (c) transmit spam, unsolicited messages, or malware; (d) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Platform; (e) post false, misleading, or defamatory content; (f) scrape, harvest, or extract data in bulk; or (g) interfere with the proper functioning of the Platform.

Vendors must maintain an active paid subscription to list services on the Platform and must accept the Vendor Agreement, which governs the vendor-YK relationship in detail. By registering as a vendor, you represent and warrant that:

• All information in your vendor profile is accurate and not misleading.
• You hold all necessary licenses, permits, and insurance required by applicable law.
• You will respond to client inquiries in a timely and professional manner.
• You will honor the terms of any booking or agreement you enter into with a client through the Platform.
• You will not solicit clients discovered through the Platform to transact outside the Platform in order to circumvent fees.

YK Entertainment reserves the right to remove, suspend, or terminate any vendor listing that violates these Terms, receives substantiated complaints, or otherwise harms the integrity of the marketplace.

Vendor subscriptions are billed monthly in advance through our payment processor, Stripe. Current pricing tiers are displayed on our Pricing page. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable except as set forth in Section 6 of these Terms.

By providing a payment method, you authorize us to charge your payment method for all applicable fees. If your payment fails, we reserve the right to suspend your account until payment is received. Continued use of the Platform after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

Clients do not pay subscription fees. Payments for vendor services are made directly between clients and vendors pursuant to agreements reached outside the Platform. YK Entertainment is not responsible for collecting, holding, or disbursing such payments unless explicitly stated in a separate agreement.

Commission on bookings. Basic and Professional tier vendors agree to pay a commission equal to ten percent (10%) of the total contract value of any engagement that originated with a client inquiry received through the Platform, whether the contract is executed on- or off-Platform. Premium tier vendors are exempt from commission and retain 100% of every booking. Commission invoices are issued monthly in arrears and are due within thirty (30) days. Deliberate circumvention (routing a YK-sourced inquiry off-Platform to avoid commission) is grounds for immediate termination of the vendor's subscription without refund.

Vendor subscriptions: You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at yardyknowent@gmail.com. Upon cancellation, your subscription will remain active through the end of the current billing period. No prorated refunds are issued for partial months, except where required by applicable law.

Client bookings: Cancellation and refund terms for individual event bookings are determined solely by the vendor. YK Entertainment does not mediate or guarantee refunds for client-vendor transactions. Clients should review the cancellation policy of any vendor before confirming a booking.

If you believe you were charged in error, please contact us at yardyknowent@gmail.comwithin 30 days of the charge.

All content on the Platform not submitted by users — including the YK Entertainment name, logo, design, text, graphics, and software — is owned by or licensed to Yardy Know Ent. LLC and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our express written permission.

By submitting content to the Platform (including profile photos, portfolio images, business descriptions, and reviews), you grant YK Entertainment a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute that content in connection with operating and promoting the Platform.

You represent and warrant that any content you submit does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights and that you have all rights necessary to grant the license above.

DMCA / Copyright Complaints. If you believe content on the Platform infringes your copyright, send a notice pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) to yardyknowent@gmail.com including: (a) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (c) identification of the material to be removed and its location on the Platform; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement of good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act. We will respond to valid notices in a reasonable time. Repeat infringers' accounts will be terminated.

The Platform integrates with the following third-party service providers, each governed by its own terms and privacy policy:

• Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage (supabase.com/terms)
• Stripe — payment processing and subscription billing (stripe.com/legal)

• Vercel — website hosting and deployment (vercel.com/legal/terms)

We are not responsible for the practices or content of these third-party providers. Your use of their services is at your own risk and subject to their respective terms.

You acknowledge and agree that YK Entertainment does not conduct background checks on vendors or clients, does not verify licenses or insurance beyond good-faith review, does not supervise events, and does not guarantee the safety, competence, honesty, or lawfulness of any user of the Platform.

You use the Platform, communicate with other users, and attend or provide services at any event at your own risk. You assume all responsibility for evaluating whether to engage another user, and for any resulting contract, interaction, or event.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release YK Entertainment and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, and agents (collectively, the "YK Parties") from any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) — whether known or unknown — arising out of or related to any dispute, contract, booking, refund, injury, loss, or interaction between you and any other user of the Platform, including any vendor, client, guest, or third party.

Waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542. You expressly waive the protections of California Civil Code section 1542, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the YK Parties from any third-party claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, judgment, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or third-party right (including intellectual property, privacy, and publicity rights); (d) any content you submit; (e) any interaction, contract, or event between you and another user; and (f) any bodily injury, property damage, or death caused or alleged to have been caused by you.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THE YK PARTIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ANY VENDOR OR CLIENT WILL PERFORM AS DESCRIBED.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE YK PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO US IN THE THREE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where feasible, send an email notification to registered users at least fifteen (15) days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the Platform after any change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Platform and may cancel your account.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform — including the determination of the scope or applicability of this arbitration agreement — shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS in Los Angeles, California, before a single arbitrator, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules).

Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement.

Class Action Waiver. You and YK Entertainment each agree that any dispute shall be brought in that party's individual capacity only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may (a) bring an individual action in small claims court, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property or confidentiality obligations.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to yardyknowent@gmail.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and (for vendors) the Vendor Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and YK Entertainment regarding the Platform and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications.

Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force.

No Waiver. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force Majeure. We are not liable for delay or failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
