Length Of Service
Wedding Tracker provides service subscriptions in annual increments only.   This is because domain names can only be registered in annual increments.

Service Level Agreement
Wedding Tracker will provide a 99% availability of its web site, www.weddingtracker.com, and the web site’s that it powers (e.g. www.amandaandscott.com).   Occasional service outages may occur that Wedding Tracker cannot control.   If such outages occur, Wedding Tracker will work on restoring service as soon as possible.   Wedding Tracker is not liable or responsible for damages if such outages occur.

Fees and Refund Policy

All fees for Wedding Tracker services and products will be provided to Wedding Tracker in US dollars.  All fees will be collected via a valid credit card.

Wedding Tracker will issue a refund within two weeks of your two-week free trial expiration provided that you have not published your web site.   Wedding Tracker will not issue a refund if you have published your web site.   If you publish your web site during your two-week free trial, thereby selecting a domain name and allowing your web site to be viewed online, you will forfeit the remainder of your free trial, you will no longer be in your free trial period, and your subscription will begin.   Wedding Tracker provides a clear statement of these terms when you publish your web site during the free trial period.

Photos and Photo Products: Wedding Tracker will not provide a refund for any photo or photo product order.  All photo and photo product sales are final.

Domain Name Usage and Ownership
During the length of service, Wedding Tracker is the legal owner/registrant of the domain name you publish your web site to.   We reserve the domain name you choose for the exclusive use of your web site.   This domain name cannot be transferred during your subscription.

Upon publishing your Wedding Tracker web site and selecting a domain name, it may take up to twenty-four hours for your web site to be viewable online.   This is out of our control and due to the global domain registry.

You may choose to have a domain name you already own point to the web site you create with Wedding Tracker.  With such a domain name, you’ll need to change the DNS settings or Host Server with your registrar to do a redirect/forward to the domain registered with Wedding Tracker.

Within two weeks of your web site expiration, you will be given the ability to renew only your domain name.  This renewal will transfer the domain’s ownership to you and you will be given access to our domain management web site, Tracker Domains.
