The agreement between you and us — what you get when you buy a booklet, what you may do with it, and how we handle the rest.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and House of Catena, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company doing business as NuptialMassBooklet (“we,” “us,” “our”). They govern your use of nuptialmassbooklet.com and everything we offer through it.
By creating an account, buying a booklet, or otherwise using the service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. By using the service you represent that you meet those requirements, that the information you give us is accurate, and that you are not barred from using it under the law of your jurisdiction or subject to US sanctions.
If you are using the service on behalf of a couple, parish, or business, you confirm you are authorized to accept these Terms for them.
You can close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts as described in section 15.
We provide a form-based editor and a library of booklet templates for the nuptial Mass and marriage service. You choose a template, enter your details, preview the result, and — once you pay — download a print-ready PDF.
We provide the design and the software. We do not print, bind, ship, or deliver physical booklets, and we are not party to any arrangement between you and a print shop. Our Printing Guide is offered as guidance only.
After you buy a booklet you may keep editing it and download it again while your account remains open and the service continues to operate — we don’t charge again for regenerating a booklet you have already paid for. This is a convenience of the service rather than a guarantee of permanent availability, so download and keep your own copy of the final PDF once you are happy with it.
Limited exceptions — for files that fail to generate, and for duplicate charges — are set out in our Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
When you pay for a booklet, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use that finished booklet for your own wedding or the specific ceremony you made it for.
This license lasts as long as you comply with these Terms, and ends if you materially breach them.
The templates, page layouts, typography and ornament, chant engravings, rubrical commentary, illustrations, software, and the NuptialMassBooklet name and marks are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for the license in section 8, nothing in these Terms transfers any right in them to you.
You keep ownership of everything you put into a booklet — your names, your wording, your photographs. You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, reproduce, and process that content strictly to operate the service for you: to save your drafts, render your previews, and generate your PDF. That license ends when you delete the content or close your account.
We don’t claim ownership of your content, don’t use it for marketing without asking you first, and don’t use it to train machine-learning models.
Our templates are prepared with real care and follow the structure of the Rite of Marriage, and we include rubrical commentary to explain what is happening and why. That said, please read the following carefully.
Final approval of your booklet rests with your parish, pastor, celebrant, and diocese. Liturgical requirements vary by diocese, by liturgical form, and by the circumstances of a particular marriage — for example where one party is not Catholic. You are responsible for:
We are not liable for a booklet that is printed and later found unsuitable, incorrect, or unapproved for your ceremony.
You agree not to:
The service relies on third parties — Stripe for payments, and our hosting and storage providers — and our pages link to others, such as printing services. We are not responsible for third-party services, their content, or their terms, and a link is not an endorsement. Your dealings with them are between you and them.
We aim to keep the service running but do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of it, add or retire templates, or change features — at any time and without liability to you. Where we plan to discontinue the service entirely, we will make reasonable efforts to give notice so you can download your files first.
You may stop using the service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, or to protect the service or other users. Where circumstances allow, we will give notice and an opportunity to put things right.
On termination your license in section 8 ends for any unpaid booklets, but a booklet you have already paid for and downloaded remains yours to use for your ceremony. Sections that by their nature should survive — including sections 9, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 — survive termination.
THE SERVICE AND ALL TEMPLATES AND FILES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, THAT FILES WILL PRINT IDENTICALLY ON EVERY PRINTER OR PAPER STOCK, OR THAT ANY BOOKLET WILL BE APPROVED BY YOUR PARISH OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR CEREMONY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER HOUSE OF CATENA, LLC NOR ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR PRINTING COSTS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE — EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100).
These limits apply regardless of the legal theory and even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law — including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless House of Catena, LLC and its members, officers, employees, and agents from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your content, your use of the service, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right — including a claim by a photographer or other rights holder over material you uploaded. We may assume the defense of any such matter at your expense, and you agree to cooperate.
Most problems can be sorted out quickly. Before starting formal proceedings, email support@nuptialmassbooklet.com describing the issue and what you would like done. Both of us agree to try in good faith to resolve it informally for 30 days before going further.
If we can’t resolve it, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. Arbitration will take place in Virginia, or by telephone, video, or written submission at your election. The arbitrator’s award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. This agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
You and we agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim — and only that claim — must proceed in court.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Virginia. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory rules of your home jurisdiction.
We may update these Terms as the service develops. We will update the date at the top and, for material changes, give notice by email or in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use the service afterwards means you accept the revised Terms; if you don’t agree, stop using the service and close your account. Changes never apply retroactively to a purchase you have already made.
