Terms of Use

Last updated: 1 July 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern the use of the IvoryFolio wedding-planning application and its associated materials (the "App"), provided by Mauro Correia, trading as IvoryFolio, in Coimbra, Portugal ("we", "the Provider"). By purchasing, accessing or using the App, the user ("the User") accepts these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the App.

1.What the App is

The App is a digital wedding-planning tool. The App code is hosted and owned by the Provider. When you use the App, the planning data you enter (such as guest names and contacts, menu and dietary choices, and budget figures) is created and stored inside your own Google account. The Provider does not store that planning data and has no access to it.

2.The RSVP (optional feature)

The App includes an RSVP feature that works only if you enable it. When you enable it, the Provider hosts a technical bridge that receives, stores in encrypted form, and forwards your guests' replies to your planner. On that bridge, each reply is stored as follows: the replies are encrypted on the guest's device with a public key of yours, and the Provider stores only a small set of technical data (wedding identifier, invitation code, yes/no, number of people, date/time) plus an encrypted block that the Provider cannot read. Only you can decrypt the contents, in your planner. By enabling the RSVP, you also accept the Data Processing Agreement, under which you are the controller of your guests' data and the Provider acts as a limited processor.

3.Google account required

Using the App requires a Google account. You are responsible for creating, securing and maintaining your own Google account, as well as for complying with Google's terms. The planner runs inside your Google account using the minimum permission necessary; the Provider never accesses your account or your planning data.

4.Your access link

Your access link is personal and unique. If you share it, you may compromise your data and your access to the App. Keep it private and safe. You are responsible for any consequences of sharing your access link. Sharing or reselling the access link is prohibited.

5.Licence and intellectual property

The App, its code, design, texts and content are owned by the Provider and protected by law. You are granted a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to use the App to plan your own wedding (one couple, personal use). You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, rent, share, copy, publish, nor attempt to extract, reverse-engineer or repurpose the App or its code, in whole or in part. Any commercial or third-party use requires our prior written authorisation.

6.Acceptable use

You undertake to use the App lawfully and only for its intended personal purpose. You may not use it to breach any law, infringe third-party rights, or in a harmful, abusive or fraudulent way. If you use the RSVP, you undertake to process your guests' data only to organise your wedding and to have a legal basis for processing it.

7.Purchase and price

The App is sold as a one-time purchase, through Etsy and, in the future, through our own website or other channels. The price and what is included are shown at the time of purchase.

8.Digital content, refunds and consumer rights

The App is digital content supplied for immediate access. As an EU consumer, you normally have a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content. If, at the time of purchase, you gave your prior express consent to immediate performance and acknowledged that, as a result, you lose the 14-day right of withdrawal from the moment access begins, that right of withdrawal no longer applies from the start of access. Save for rights that cannot be waived under consumer protection law (including remedies for digital content that is defective or not as advertised), the App is sold "as is" and purchases are non-refundable.

9."As is", no warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability or uninterrupted availability. The App is a planning aid and does not replace your own judgment or professional advice (financial, legal or otherwise). The security obligations the Provider assumes when operating the RSVP bridge are obligations to use adequate and reasonable means, and not a guarantee of result; they do not amount to a warranty that the bridge will be free from failures, breaches or unavailability, nor do they set aside this "as is".

10.Your responsibility for your data and backups

Since your planning data lives in your own Google account, you are solely responsible for it, including for keeping your own backups. The App provides an export/backup feature, and we strongly recommend that you use it regularly. We cannot recover data lost, deleted or altered inside your Google account, including data lost through your own actions, Google's actions, or technical problems.

11.The RSVP key

If you use the RSVP, the content of your guests' replies is only readable with the private key stored in your planner data, in your Google account. If you lose that data or that key (for example, by deleting the file, restoring an old backup or switching accounts), you permanently and irrecoverably lose the ability to read the encrypted content of the replies. The basic counts (yes/no and number of people) remain readable. You are responsible for keeping your recovery key in a safe place, as the App instructs you.

12.Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, the User undertakes to hold the Provider harmless from any third-party claims, losses, damages or costs (including reasonable legal costs) arising from your breach of these Terms, unlawful or improper use of the App, infringement of third-party rights, or your processing of third-party data (including guests') without a legal basis, covering data entered into the planner in your Google account and data processed through the RSVP. This clause does not apply to the extent that mandatory consumer protection law prohibits it. The specific indemnity under the Data Processing Agreement remains applicable to the RSVP, in addition to this one.

13.Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Provider shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from, or related to, the use of, or inability to use, the App. This includes, without limitation:

• a) loss, deletion, corruption or unavailability of your data, including the loss of all your wedding information;
• b) any error, incorrect calculation or inaccuracy (including in budget, catering, guest counts or any figure produced by the App);
• c) any unavailability, interruption, delay or failure of the App or the RSVP bridge, including on your wedding day;
• d) RSVP replies that are lost, delayed, duplicated or not delivered;
• e) the loss of your RSVP private key and the resulting inability to read the encrypted replies;
• f) any consequence of sharing your access link or of unauthorised access resulting from it;
• g) any misuse of the App by you or by anyone you give access to;
• h) loss of access caused by your actions, or by Google, inside your Google account;
• i) any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, wilful misconduct, or gross negligence), nor does it affect your mandatory consumer rights, nor set aside the Provider's obligations under the GDPR and the Data Processing Agreement.

If any exclusion above is held invalid or unenforceable, that does not affect the validity of the remainder, and the Provider's liability shall in any event be limited, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the greater of: (i) the amount the User paid for the App in the 12 months before the event; or (ii) EUR 100.

14.Force majeure

The Provider is not liable for any failure or delay arising from causes beyond its reasonable control, including failures, suspensions or unavailability of third-party services on which the App depends (in particular Google and Etsy), network faults, power outages, or other force majeure events.

15.Third-party services

The App depends on Google (your planning data is stored in, and the planner runs inside, your Google account; the RSVP bridge runs in the Provider's Google account) and is sold through Etsy (and, in the future, other channels). Use of those services is subject to their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.

16.Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full force, and the invalid provision is replaced by the valid rule that most closely matches its economic intent.

17.Survival

Provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination (in particular limitation of liability, indemnity, intellectual property and use restrictions) remain in force after the end of use or of the contract.

18.Changes

We may update the App or these Terms from time to time. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

19.Governing law

These Terms are governed by Portuguese law. As a consumer, you also benefit from the mandatory consumer protections of your EU country of residence. Disputes are subject to the competent courts in Portugal, without prejudice to your mandatory consumer rights.
