Idaho Bride Media LLC


This Terms of Service aka Contributor Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between the individual or entity submitting content (“Contributor”) and Idaho Bride Media LLC, an Idaho limited liability company (“Publisher”). By submitting content, Contributor agrees to the terms and conditions below.


1. Applicability

This Agreement applies to all content submissions for editorial consideration, including but not limited to:

  • Idaho Bride Magazine (print and digital)
  • The Vendor Confessional (podcast)
  • Social media content, website features, blog posts, and promotional reels

This Agreement does not confer sponsorship benefits, which are governed by a separate Sponsorship Agreement.


2. Content Submission License

By submitting content (photos, writing, video, or creative work), Contributor grants Publisher a non-exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to:

  • Use, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, display, distribute, and archive the content
  • Use the content across all Publisher platforms, now and in the future, including print, digital, reels, social media, advertising, podcast audio/video, and promotional materials
  • Edit, crop, overlay text, remix into derivative works, or otherwise modify the content at Publisher’s sole discretion

This license cannot be revoked, even if the Contributor later grants the content elsewhere.


3. Ownership and Credit

Contributor retains full ownership of the submitted content. However:

  • Publisher is not obligated to credit all contributors (e.g., hair/makeup, venue, florals) unless they are properly submitted per the Publisher’s vendor submission form.

  • Any third-party materials (music, fonts, props, etc.) are properly licensed
  • All identifiable individuals in the content have signed Model Releases

Upon submission, Contributor agrees to provide all applicable documentation.

  • Edit written content for length, clarity, grammar, and house style
  • Select images, layout, and publish date without Contributor approval
  • Publish across multiple platforms (e.g., blog, podcast, print, social reels)

6. No Compensation

Content is submitted voluntarily and without expectation of payment. Publisher does not provide financial compensation, free advertising, or guaranteed features in exchange for editorial submissions unless otherwise agreed in writing.
