Terms of Service

Last updated: March 24, 2026

1. What This Covers

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of SimchaMaker (simchamaker.com), operated by Israel Derdik (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the service.

2. Your Account

  • You must provide accurate information when creating an account.
  • You're responsible for keeping your password secure and for all activity under your account.
  • You must be at least 13 years old to use SimchaMaker.
  • One person or entity per account. Don't share login credentials.
  • We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

3. What SimchaMaker Does

SimchaMaker lets you design event invitations, manage guest lists, send invitations via email and SMS, and track RSVPs. We provide tools — you provide the content.

4. Credits and Payments

  • SimchaMaker uses a credit system to send invitations via email and SMS.
  • New accounts receive 10 free credits upon signup.
  • Additional credits can be purchased through the platform. Payments are processed by Stripe.
  • Credits are non-refundable. Once purchased, credits remain in your account until used. They do not expire.
  • If an SMS or email fails to deliver due to an invalid address or phone number you provided, the credit is still consumed.
  • If delivery fails due to a SimchaMaker system error, we will restore the affected credits.
  • Pricing may change. Any price changes apply to future purchases only, not credits already bought.

5. Your Content

You retain ownership of everything you create or upload on SimchaMaker — your guest lists, invitation designs, text, images, and event details. We don't claim any rights to your content.

We do need a limited license to operate the service: by uploading content, you grant us the right to store, display, and transmit it as needed to provide the service (e.g., rendering your invitation, sending it to your guests).

If you delete your account, we will delete your content within 30 days, except where we're required to retain it by law.

6. Event Collaboration

You may invite collaborators to help manage your event. When you do:

  • Collaborators can view and manage guest lists, send invitations (using your credits), and track RSVPs.
  • You control what collaborators can do and can revoke access at any time.
  • Invitations sent by collaborators use your credits.
  • You are responsible for actions taken by collaborators you invite.

7. Guest Information

When you add guests to your event, you're providing us with other people's contact information (names, emails, phone numbers, meal preferences, etc.). You represent that:

  • You have a reasonable basis to contact these people (they're your event guests).
  • You will not use SimchaMaker to send unsolicited messages to people who haven't been invited to your event.
  • You understand that SMS messages are sent via third-party providers and standard messaging rates may apply to recipients.

8. Acceptable Use

Don't use SimchaMaker to:

  • Send spam, bulk marketing, or unsolicited messages unrelated to event invitations.
  • Upload illegal, harmful, or offensive content.
  • Attempt to access other users' accounts or data.
  • Reverse-engineer, scrape, or abuse the platform.
  • Resell or redistribute the service without permission.

We reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules.

9. Invitation Templates and Designs

SimchaMaker provides invitation templates and design tools. You may use these templates for your personal events. You may not resell, redistribute, or claim ownership of our templates or design assets.

Custom designs you create using our tools are yours.

10. Availability and Changes

  • We aim to keep SimchaMaker available and reliable, but we don't guarantee 100% uptime.
  • We may update, modify, or discontinue features at any time.
  • If we make material changes to these Terms, we'll notify you via email or through the platform.

11. Limitation of Liability

SimchaMaker is provided “as is.” To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.
  • Our total liability is limited to the amount you've paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
  • We are not responsible for failed message delivery caused by incorrect contact information, carrier filtering, or third-party service outages.

12. Termination

  • You can delete your account at any time.
  • We can suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, with or without notice.
  • Upon termination, your right to use the service ends. Unused credits are not refunded.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of New York.
