Article 3-Relationship Wedding Planner - Clients
3.1. The Clients – as wedding hosts – contract the event agency Anta Organizasyon Limited Şirketi to render the agreed event planning service package, for the agreed fees. The Wedding Planner starts fulfilling listed contractual obligations after the contract is signed and after receiving the booking fee to their account, and ends on the wedding day, or on the day of the last wedding event the Wedding Planner was contracted to coordinate, as soon as the event is finished.
3.2. The Clients are considered one unit in the communication process, meaning it is assumed that any request or information provided by one of them is internally agreed upon by both. The Wedding Planner is not liable for any inconveniences that arise from actions that have not been previously discussed and/or agreed upon by the Clients.
3.3. Upon written request, the Wedding Planner can also act as an intermediary and make payments for and in the name of the Clients for the suppliers/service providers. The Wedding Planner shall not be a contractual party to the supply/services. Contracts shall be closed between the supplier of the products/services and the Clients. The Wedding Planner shall not be liable to the Clients for obligations of the supplier/service providers and shall not be liable to the supplier/service providers for the obligations assumed by the Clients. The Wedding Planner shall only act as an intermediary and, within 3 (three) working days since after the Wedding Planner has received such a request, as well as the money from the Clients for this purpose, and all the necessary information to make the payment, shall transfer the amounts into the accounts of the vendors’ services/products.
3.4. Any errands that are to be run on behalf and on account of the Clients have to be explicitly documented in written form. This concerns especially public-law (e.g. registration of the event at the appropriate authorities) or private-law acts, room rental, closing and paying catering contracts, or any contracts with artists, vendors or subcontractors.
Article 4-Performance of Services
4.1. The Wedding Planner is bound to provide the agreed services according to the principles of „obligation for executive care”, considering the Clients' best interest. The Wedding Planner agrees to exercise reasonable care and skills in providing all services agreed under the terms of this Agreement. The Wedding Planner is especially bound to the meticulous consulting of the Clients, careful selection and supervision of vendors and subcontractors.
4.2. Nothing in the agreement between Wedding Planner and Clients shall be construed to create an employee-employer relationship between the Wedding Planner and the Clients, and this will be a collaborative, professional relationship of equals, where mutual professional respect, courtesy and consideration are expected. The Wedding Planner is an independent contractor and not an employee of the Clients.
4.3. Should the event require it, the Wedding Planner will provide assistants in order to fulfill the Agreement. These assistants will abide by all terms of the Agreement between Wedding Planner and Clients. The decision to use assistants is at the sole discretion of the Wedding Planner.
4.4. The Parties agree that the Wedding Planner may assign some or all of the obligations arising out of an Agreement to trustworthy and equally experienced industry partners, subject to the prior written consent of the Clients. The Clients are not entitled to raise claims directly to the third party.

The Clients will provide sufficient notice and allow for reasonable timeframes for project completions. Rush projects of 24 hours or less, as well as new requests made within the last three weeks before the wedding due date, and projects requiring weekend or holiday work may be subject to a 25% surcharge and/or other rush fees. The Wedding Planner reserves the right to refuse any project or service request.
4.6. The Wedding Planner requires 48 hours notice to cancel scheduled face-to-face appointments, and 1 hour to cancel scheduled calls. When possible, the Wedding Planner will attempt to accommodate a moved appointment with less notice. However, if the appointment cannot be moved to a different slot in the same week, this will count as a cancelled appointment, if the requested notice was not provided. No shows and last minute cancellations will be billed at the full hourly rate for the allotted time that was scheduled, with a one-hour minimum.
4.7. New work requested by the Clients and performed by the Wedding Planner after a proposal/estimate has been approved is considered a Change Request, and will be billed according to the additional hours. If the job changes to an extent that it substantially alters the specifications described in the original proposal/estimate, a revision memo will be submitted to the Clients, and a revised additional fee must be agreed to by both parties before any further work proceeds. Alterations and other changes requested after project completion are billed at standard hourly or package rates.
4.8. The Wedding Planner is entitled to deviate from the agreed services and will use her judgement when taking action in regard to changes, weather, tardiness, non performance etc. based on the situation, time limitations and/or the Clients' wishes. Any changes are to be documented in written form without delay and communicated on to the Clients in writing forthwith. The Clients reserve the right to disagree with any deviations including in an event where the deviation leads to additional charges being payable by the Clients or where the quality of the service is reduced.
The two copies found previously signed by the seller were signed by the contract buyer.

Should the Clients explicitly request, the selection is to be made by the Wedding Planner. Either way, the contracts are to be closed directly between the Clients and the chosen vendors.
5.3. The Wedding Planner will exercise reasonable care and skills in locating and recommending any vendors for the Clients.

5.4. The Wedding Planner does not recommend hiring vendors outside the list of Anta Organization Wedding Vendors.
5.5. Should the Clients choose to book other vendors, despite the recommendation at chapter 3.4, or without involving the Wedding Planner, or should they book certain vendors before signing the Wedding Planning Agreement, it is the Clients' responsibility to provide the Wedding Planner with copies of vendor contracts for all vendors they contracted on their own. Any fee or cost for the payment will be borne by the Client. Also, it is the Clients' responsibility to provide the Wedding Planner with contact names, telephone numbers, and scheduled timetables for all vendors involved in the wedding within 3 (three) days after they are hired, no later than 90 days prior to the wedding. Any dispute with these vendors will be handled directly between the Clients and the vendors.
