Rules

• Nibridesupport also reserves the right to suspend/moderate or terminate any membership without notice if they feel the member is causing extreme disruption.
• Please remember that our suppliers businesses are their livelihood. We ask that members do not request a booking for a service that they do not intend to use. If you change your mind in regards to a service you have provisionally booked please contact the supplier as quickly as possible to allow them to free that date and avoid a loss in earnings.
• We understand that you may change your mind about booking a service and you are at no time under obligation to deal with the suppliers on this forum. However Members should not use the forum to repeatedly request and cancel the services of suppliers. This is to protect our suppliers who often offer special rates for our members.
• You must be a member for a period of 4 weeks and have made a minimum of 20 relevant posts before you can post a negative supplier review.
• Any member found to be leaving unfair negative reviews of a supplier will have their posts removed and a warning issued.

NB:1All reports and complains will be handled with the strictest confidentiality. At no time will the member/moderator/administrator you have complained about be aware of who you are.


Suppliers

• We ask that suppliers make themselves known as such to the admin/moderation team to allow special permissions to be set. Also giving them access to the suppliers’ only board.
• As we do not ask for an advertising fee, suppliers must make a contribution to the site; a minimum of ten relevant posts must be made before a supplier can post details of their company unless they have been granted permission by administration. This is to avoid suppliers using the site purely as an avenue to advertise.
• You may not use the forum private/email messaging system to solicit members to come to a website or offer any products or services or for any other reason unless the member has publicly requested the information.
• Please remember that the members on here are not regulated and we cannot guarantee that a person is who they claim to be. We therefore ask all suppliers to employ the same terms and conditions of booking as you would with any non forum customer.
• If an issue arises in relation to a member you feel is using the board to mess suppliers about please contact the Nibridesupport team. However please remember that it is not the responsibility of the Nibridesupport team to resolve such issues unless it is an issue which has previously arisen with a particular member. Nor is it the responsibility to attempt to extract payment from members for deposits or non payment of services rendered.
• Suppliers are free to post in regards to any information they believe will help fellow suppliers on the suppliers only forum. However Nibridesupport ask that personal details any customer/potential customer are not posted on the forum. We have a private messaging service which you are free to use.


Forum etiquette

• Web etiquette considers writing in Block capitals shouting and can be insulting or off putting to other members.
• To gain the full benefit of the forum try not to use slang or text talk as many members find this hard to read and understand and you may therefore not benefit from some members expertise.
• If you do not intend to use the services of a supplier please make this clear in any private communication. Suppliers are happy to help with any questions you may have in relation to their area of expertise it is not necessary to lead them to believe you will use their services when you have no intention to.


NB:a relevant post is one which makes a contribution to the conversation at hand.
