Become a Founding Vendor of United Vows.

None. We need vendors. You need bookings. We share the upside. Commission on the payments couples make you is the only automatic charge, and a Founding Vendor's rate is 1% lower for 3 years — 8% instead of 9% at VERIFIED, 7% instead of 8% at ESTABLISHED. Sponsored placement, pay-per-use drafting help past your monthly allowance, and pass-through costs for a few third-party tools such as electronic signatures are optional, priced up front, and stay off until you choose them.

Leave your details in the form below and a person here emails you if it opens up. Being plain about what that is: a contact list, not a queue. The 20 spots per category per city are counted at approval and are not handed back automatically when a Founding Vendor leaves or falls below standard, so there is no line that moves on its own and no position to hold. If you serve multiple markets, apply for a different city or category where spots are still open.

The Founding Vendor program is open in our 3 launch markets today. We have not set dates for the next ones, so we are not going to give you one. Leave your city in the form below and we will email you if the program opens there. Signing up as a vendor is free and open everywhere in the meantime — the badge is the part that is market-limited, not the platform.

If United Vows shuts down, you owe nothing. Your data is portable. Your couples are yours. We've designed this so vendors take zero risk.

Launching with a large directory of half-claimed vendors is worse than launching with a smaller group of fully committed ones. We're choosing density over volume. The Founding Vendors set the bar for everyone who joins after.

Yes. It is granted for the life of your account, with no renewal and no re-qualification. What ends it for good is the account ending: if your account is delisted, deleted, removed, or cancelled, the badge goes with it and does not come back. The 1% commission reduction is a separate benefit and runs for 3 years, so the discount ending does not touch the badge.

Yes, two ways, and only one of them is final. Sustained underperformance against the six maintenance standards takes the badge off after a 30-day grace period and 30 days of probation. A Conflict Resolution Index below 75 is a separate, seventh check on its own clock: it is monitored daily and has no grace period or probation, so a drop below 75 takes the badge off on that day's check. Neither kind of loss is permanent. Recovery needs both at once — all six standards met and your index back at 75 or higher — and it lands on the clock the loss came off: a badge lost on the index returns at the first daily check that finds you at 75 or higher, and a badge lost on the six standards returns at the first monthly review that finds you passing all six. The badge, the directory listing and the commission reduction come back on their own. No application, no fee, no waiting period. The account ending is the permanent one: if your account is delisted, deleted, removed, or cancelled, the badge is gone for good, and signing up again later with the same business details does not restore it. The goal is to keep the badge meaningful, not to penalize.

We're a startup. We need sustainable economics to grow. 3 years of savings is substantial but bounded so we can keep the platform healthy long-term.
