REGISTRATION FOR MEMBERSHIP, RULES FOR MEMBER CONDUCT, AND USE OF SERVICES

You need to be at least 13 years old to register as a member and to use our Services. If you are a user who signs up as a member for our Services, you will create a personalized account which includes a unique username and a password to access our Members Site and Services and to receive messages from the IWCA. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your password and/or account. The IWCA will not be responsible for any liabilities, losses, or damages arising out of the unauthorized use of your member name, password, and/or account.

MEMBERSHIP PAYMENTS, RENEWALS, AND CANCELLATIONS

By paying your membership initiation fee and signing up for a membership subscription, or by paying your annual membership fee in full, you authorize the IWCA to charge the credit card you provide on file for your membership fee, whether that be a monthly charge for your subscription or an annual charge for your annual membership fee. For membership subscriptions, you will automatically be charged each month on the day of the month your membership subscription was initiated by you. For annual membership fees, you will automatically be charged on the anniversary of the date you initiated your membership. If the credit card you have on file is unable to be charged, you will receive a notification email stating that your payment failed. You will have a 30-day grace period to update your payment method in your profile, during which time you will receive several reminders. If you fail to update your payment method, or if your updated payment method also fails, your membership will be cancelled after 30 days. If you need help updating your payment method, or if you would like to make other payment arrangements, contact us at info@iwca.org. You may cancel your subscription at any time from your membership account, or by sending an email to info@iwca.org. Cancellations can take up to 15 working days to complete and refunds can take up to 15 days to appear in your account after the cancellation and refund are initiated. Only cancellations received 30 days or more from your membership payment date are eligible for refund. This policy is to prevent abuse of our exclusive membership benefits, services, and programs. If you cancel your membership, or your membership is cancelled because of failed payment, you agree to immediately remove any and all references to IWCA membership from any and all communications, advertisements, websites, emails, etc. you send to your clients, customers, employees, or any other body or entity. This includes any references to IWCA membership in your email signature, or any IWCA logos used in your email signature, website, or any other communication, whether written or electronic.

LIMITATION OF DAMAGES; RELEASE

To the extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Site, the Services, its affiliates, directors, or employees, or its licensors or partners, be liable to you for any loss of profits, use, or data, or for any incidental, indirect, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, however arising, that result from: (a) the use, disclosure, or display of your user content; (b) your use or inability to use the Site or Services; (c) the Site or Services generally or the software or systems that make the Site or Services available; or (d) any other interactions with use of or with any other user of the Site or Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage, and even if a remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions limit or do not permit disclaimers of liability, so this provision may not apply to you.

If you have a dispute with one or more users, vendors, or any other third-party provider of products or services, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, and employees) from claims, demands, and damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

If you are a California resident using the Site or Services, you may specifically waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

No purported waiver or modification of this agreement on our part via telephonic or email communications shall be valid.

GENERAL TERMS

If any part of this Terms of Service agreement is held or found to be invalid or unenforceable, that portion of the agreement will be construed as to be consistent with applicable law while the remaining portions of the agreement will remain in full force or effect. Any failure on our part to enforce any provision of this agreement will not be considered a waiver of our right to enforce such provision.
