Some WCS sites and services permit or require you to create an account to
participate or to secure additional benefits. You agree to provide and maintain
accurate, current and complete information, including your contact information
for notices and other communications from us and your payment information. You
agree not to impersonate or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or
entity, including using another person's username, password or other account

a parent or guardian. You agree that WCS may take steps to verify the accuracy
of information you provide, including contact information for a parent or

You are responsible for taking reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality
of your username and password, and you are responsible for all activities under

PAID TRANSACTIONS

Paid transactions (e.g., for donations or purchase of goods) are made by WCS or
a third party identified at the time of sale, if different. If you have
questions about your transaction, please contact WCS (or third party) at the

conditions may apply to third parties, which you should read when they are
presented to you.

You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your order, including
delivery address (if applicable), payment method and product details. A notice
will be communicated to you when your order is accepted and our acceptance will

responsibility to insure them passes to you when the relevant goods are

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order prior to delivery. Some
situations that may result in your order being cancelled include system or

identified by our credit or fraud departments. We also may require additional
verification or information before accepting an order. We will contact you if
any portion of your order is cancelled or if additional information is required
to accept your order. If your order is cancelled after we have processed your
payment but prior to delivery, we will refund your payment.

When you provide payment information, you represent and warrant that the
information is accurate, that you are authorized to use the payment method
provided, and that you will notify us of changes to the payment information. We
reserve the right to utilize third party credit card updating services to obtain

reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these
Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any
remaining provisions. The failure of WCS to insist upon or enforce strict
performance of any of the provisions of these Terms of Use or to exercise any
rights or remedies under these Terms of Use will not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment to any extent of WCS's right to assert or rely upon any such
provisions, rights or remedies in that or any other instance; rather, the same
will be and remain in full force and effect.


APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Terms of Use and any amendments or revisions shall be governed by
