Terms of Service

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to create an account. By using the Services you confirm that you can form a binding contract and that the information you give us is accurate.

We sign you in with a one-time code sent to your email or phone — there's no password to remember. Keep access to that email or phone secure; anyone who receives your code can access your account. You're responsible for activity that happens under your account. Let us know promptly if you think someone else has used it.

Hosts create potlucks and events, invite guests, and (for paid events) book vendors. Guests RSVP, sign up to bring items, comment, and share photos. Vendors list and provide services such as catering, bar service, staff, entertainment, rentals, and venues.

Cetta is a platform that connects these people. Except where we say otherwise, the actual services at an event are provided by independent vendors, and the plans, guest lists, and content are created by hosts and guests — not by Cetta. You're responsible for your own conduct and for the accuracy of what you post.

Vendors are independent businesses, not Cetta's employees or agents. Cetta does not provide, supervise, inspect or control their services, equipment, food or staff. Anything Cetta checks about a vendor (such as insurance or licenses) it checks for its own purposes, and that is not a guarantee of the vendor's work or safety. Vendors also agree to our Vendor Agreement.

When a host books a vendor through Cetta, that creates an agreement for services between the host and that vendor; Cetta facilitates the booking and, where applicable, payment. Prices, any service or booking fees, deposits, and what's included are shown at checkout before you confirm. Cancellation and refund windows are shown with the booking and vary by vendor and category; you agree to the applicable policy when you book.

Free potlucks and RSVP-only gatherings involve no payment. Some paid features may be added over time and, if they involve a fee, that fee will be shown before you're charged.

You're responsible for your event and the people at it. That means getting permission to use the location, keeping guests (especially children) supervised, following each vendor's safety rules, and making sure only adults of legal drinking age are served alcohol. Some activities carry risks that can't be removed entirely, such as inflatables, rides and games, food that may contain allergens, and alcohol. By booking them, you accept those risks for yourself and agree to share the vendor's safety rules with your guests.

A vendor may require you to sign its own rental agreement, safety rules or release as part of a booking. When you do, it is an agreement between you and that vendor. If it also names Cetta, it covers Cetta too.

To the fullest extent the law allows, you release Cetta and its members, managers, officers and employees from claims arising out of a vendor's services, equipment, food or conduct, or out of your dealings with any vendor, host or guest, including claims alleging Cetta's negligence. Your claims for those matters are against the vendor or person responsible. This doesn't limit a refund you're owed under a booking's policy, or any right the law doesn't allow to be released.

You keep ownership of the content you add — event details, invitations, photos, comments, and messages ("Your Content"). You grant Cetta a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, display, and share Your Content as needed to run the Services (for example, showing an invitation on an invite page or a photo in a shared album).

You're responsible for having the rights to what you post, and you agree not to post content that is illegal, infringing, deceptive, hateful, harassing, or otherwise violates these Terms or someone else's rights. Hosts control certain sharing settings (such as approving guest photos), and we may remove content that violates these Terms.

You agree not to:

• use the Services for anything unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful;
• impersonate others or misrepresent who you are or your affiliation;
• send spam, harvest others' contact information, or misuse invite or messaging tools;
• attempt to break, overload, scrape, or gain unauthorized access to the Services;
• upload malware or interfere with other people's use of Cetta.

The Services rely on third parties (for example, email and SMS delivery, image hosting, and — where applicable — payment processing). Your use of those features may also be subject to the third party's terms.

Cetta may be accessed through third-party AI assistants and connectors (for example, an AI chat that can, with your permission, sign you in and create or view your parties on your behalf). Those assistants are operated by other companies under their own terms and privacy practices; you're responsible for actions you authorize an assistant to take, and any action it takes on your Cetta account is treated as taken by you.

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cetta disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that vendors, events, or user content will meet your expectations, or that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cetta will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Services. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Services is limited to the greater of the amount you paid Cetta in the twelve months before the claim, or $100.

You agree to indemnify and hold Cetta harmless from claims and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your content, your use of the Services, your events or bookings, or your violation of these Terms or of anyone's rights.

You can stop using Cetta at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you violate these Terms or if we need to for legal, security, or operational reasons. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as content licenses granted, disclaimers, and liability limits) will survive termination.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in Jackson County, Missouri have jurisdiction over disputes not otherwise resolved, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice as appropriate. Continuing to use the Services after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
