1. Who we are
Marriage Group Media operates a curated partner network whose members are thoughtfully integrated into experiences delivered by The Marriage Group. Our principal place of business is:
The Marriage Group LLC (DBA Marriage Group Media)
1220 6th Street
Port Huron, Michigan 48060
2. Acceptance of these terms
These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Marriage Group Media. If you are using the site or applying on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site and do not submit a partner application.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into contracts to use this site or apply to the partner program. Participation in the partner program is by application only and at our discretion based on fit, alignment, and category capacity.
4. The partner application and alignment assessment
- Information you submit through the application form, alignment assessment, or related conversations should be accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge.
- Submission does not guarantee acceptance. We review every inquiry personally and will be in touch when there is a strong fit.
- We may decline, defer, or end a partner relationship at any time when, in our reasonable judgment, fit, capacity, or alignment with our standards changes.
5. Partner participation
Specific commercial terms — including placement, deliverables, fees, term length, exclusivity within a category, and renewal — are set out in a separate written partnership agreement signed by both parties. These Terms govern general site use and the application process; the partnership agreement controls active engagements.
While participating, partners agree to:
- Represent themselves and their offering accurately and avoid misleading claims.
- Honor the permission-based nature of every introduction — contact details we share for a specific user-initiated introduction may be used only for that introduction and must not be added to broader marketing lists or sold or transferred to third parties.
- Comply with all applicable laws, including consumer protection, advertising, professional licensing, anti-spam, and data-protection laws.
- Treat couples and ministry leaders with care and respect at every touchpoint.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the site to violate any law, infringe any right, or harass, defraud, or harm any person.
- Attempt to access accounts, data, or systems that are not yours or to bypass any access control.
- Scrape, harvest, or systematically collect information from the site, including partner and category information, except as expressly permitted.
- Upload or transmit malware, attempt to disrupt site availability, or reverse-engineer any part of our systems.
- Misrepresent your identity, affiliation, or the nature of your offering.
7. Intellectual property
The site, including its design, copy, logos, brand elements, and content, is owned by Marriage Group Media or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to view the site for its intended purpose. All other rights are reserved.
Partners retain ownership of their own marks and content. When you provide brand assets, copy, or other content for use in partnership materials, you grant Marriage Group Media a non-exclusive license to use, display, and distribute that content as needed to deliver the partnership.
8. Privacy
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
9. Third-party services and links
The site may link to third-party websites or services we do not control. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of those third parties. Your dealings with them are solely between you and them.
10. Disclaimers
The site and any related materials are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Marriage Group Media disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not guarantee any specific business outcome, response rate, or revenue result from participation in the partner program.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Marriage Group Media and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to your use of the site or the partner program. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the site will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to us under a written partnership agreement during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow some of these limitations, so they may not apply to you.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Marriage Group Media and its affiliates from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your violation of any law or third- party right, or (c) content or information you submit to us.
13. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the site at any time for any reason, including any conduct that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, partners, or us. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to any contrary provision in a signed partnership agreement, you and Marriage Group Media agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in or serving St. Clair County, Michigan, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
16. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any signed partnership agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Marriage Group Media regarding the subject matter addressed. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
