Payment of the Membership Fee (as defined below) or acceptance or use of any of the benefits or services of the Service will constitute the Member's acceptance
of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
-
The Service will initially consist of a portfolio of
benefits designed to make the Member's Internet experiences more secure and valuable. The benefits of the Service and any
information provided to Member are subject to change from time to time and without prior notice, and any services
ordered are subject to availability. Member may contact the Customer Service Department through the electronic mail
address or the toll-free phone number that appear on this Web site in order to check whether a particular benefit
is available through the Service. These Terms of Service are likely to be revised from time to time so Members are encouraged to regularly return to this website and review the Terms of Service for any changes.

WL agrees to make the services described above
available to the Member through the Service during the term of this Agreement; provided that
while WL intends to make the Service available to Member 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, subject
to scheduled maintenance shutdowns, there may be other times when the Service may not be
available and WL retains the right to make the Service unavailable from time to time for any
reason. MEMBER AGREES THAT WL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY INTERRUPTION,
SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF SERVICE AVAILABILITY OR DEFECTS IN THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICE.

conditions ("Product Specific Terms of Service") that Member will be required to agree to
prior to the provision of, or access to, any such benefit. Member's use of the Service requires
a user name and password in order to gain access and use the Service. Member agrees to keep

This Agreement will commence immediately and will conclude on the first day
of the month following the Member's respective current term (monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, annual, or as appropriate)
or following the Member's respective current term after the end of the Member's trial period, if such a trial period exists, unless this Agreement

-
Member acknowledges that, while WL may be the provider of some services, WL may not be involved in actual transactions concerning some services
that will be provided directly by third party suppliers (each a "Supplier") to the Member. Member acknowledges that, in such circumstances,
WL has no control over the quality, safety, or legality of services advertised by Suppliers, the truth or accuracy of the listings or the
ability of Suppliers to sell services and that orders placed by Members through the Service and communicated to Suppliers are offers by
Members to purchase services from such Suppliers. WL cannot and does not control whether or not Suppliers will accept such offers or
complete the sale of services they offer. With respect to services provided by Suppliers WL will have no liability to Member arising out of
(i) the failure of any participating Supplier of any services to supply any such services on the terms offered, (ii) any delay in delivery of
any services, regardless of the cause of such delay, or (iii) any defective or nonconforming services.
MEMBER EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT USE OF THE SERVICE, AND ANY PRODUCT OF SERVICE ACQUIRED THROUGH

LOSS WHATSOEVER, HOWEVER CAUSED AND WHETHER OR NOT FORSEEABLE, OR FOR CONTRIBUTION OR INDEMNITY IN RESPECT THEREOF,
EVEN IF WL HAS BEEN INFORMED IN ADVANCE OR OUGHT REASONABLY TO HAVE KNOWN OF THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH DAMAGES.
THE ENTIRE LIABILTY OF WL, AND THE EXCLUSIVE RECOURSE OF THE MEMBER, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CLAIM(S) FOR WHICH WL MAY PROPERLY BE HELD LIABLE

WHETHER THOSE FACTS BY THAT TIME ARE KNOWN TO, OR OUGHT REASONABLY TO HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED BY, THE MEMBER.

THAT MAY EXIST IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE BY WL OF ITS OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES HEREUNDER AND SUCH VOLUNTARY RISK
ALLOCATION REPRESENTS A MATERIAL PART OF THE AGREEMENT REACHED BETWEEN THE MEMBER AND WL IN RESPECT OF THE SERVICE.
