1. Site Function and Overview
The Site provides the User access to curated offerings of detailed and specific information regarding New York City Suppliers (VB may also display offerings outside of New York City). The Site illustrates and provides details on a range of Suppliers that provide the services that Planners are looking for to match their next meeting or event. We currently define service providers as restaurants and/or private space and/or raw venue spaces and/or any other business that the meetings and events industry would commonly utilize. VB through the Site may from time to time also offer spreadsheets (Lists). These Lists are commonly used by Planners to assist in the planning process and are arranged in a common spreadsheet format and may be filtered, sorted or otherwise manipulated to the User’s preference once the list has been purchased. Each type of list is explained in detail as to what to expect in its contents, but may not currently be previewed before purchase. All sales are final and there are no refunds.
