6.1 Our Site acts as a venue to allow our advertisers to offer their wedding related goods and services, at anytime, from anywhere, in a discounted format. Allowing members to utilize the site by way of gathering information & vouchers to access discounted goods & services available from our advertisers. We are not involved in the actual transaction between members and the advertiser promoting their product or service via our website. As a result, we have little control over the quality, safety or legality of the items or content posted by advertisers on the Site, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to buy items. That is the sole responsibility of the listed advertiser. We cannot ensure and do not guarantee that a member or an advertiser will actually complete a transaction or act lawfully in using our Site. However if such an event occurs a listed advertiser is removed & banned from further trading on BDB.
6.2 SAFE TRADING.
Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, BDB cannot and does not confirm each members purported identity. Employees and their immediate families, accredited representatives and agencies of this site are ineligible to enter any promotions.

7. BOOKING AND BUYING.
In order to lay claim to a discount you must be an existing BDB member. Prior to your first contact with a valid business member have logged in and saved their voucher &/OR when booking/securing a service if that is your first contact etc (including before any form of legal agreement is made) provide the business with your membership number and voucher if specified. Failure to do this will mean you can not utilize the saving.
By booking or securing a service or item you agree to be bound by the conditions of that particular business so long as those conditions are not in violation of this Agreement or unlawful.
Prices are not alterable except in exceptional circumstances such as when a business materially changes a service or item's description. In the event a business has changed their offer you are entitled to the greater saving only before you have redeemed the business voucher and a deposit / contract etc has been put in place.
8. FRAUD.
8.1 Without limiting any other remedies available to BDB at law, in equity or under this Agreement, BDB may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate your account if we suspect that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or
otherwise in our sole discretion) have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with
