DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

WS currently provides viewers and members with access to a rich collection of resources, including, courses, backgrounds, e-mail groups, shopping services, and more (website and all content are herein referred to as the "Service"). You also understand and agree that the service may include certain communications from WS and it's administrators, such as service announcements, and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of WS usage and you will not be able to opt-out of receiving them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new WS properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that WS assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, miss-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.

You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service and that access may involve third-party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service.

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or if WS has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, WS has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). WS is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children.
