10. Payments and Subscriptions

From time to time, WCD may offer products or services for purchase on the Website (“Website Purchases”), including without limitation through direct billing or third-party payment platforms utilized by WCD. If you choose to make a Website Purchase, you will be prompted to confirm your purchase with the applicable payment provider, and your method of payment (whether your credit/debit card or a third-party account) (your “Payment Method”) will be charged at the prices displayed to you for the service(s) you selected as well as any sales or similar taxes that may be imposed on your payments, and you authorize WCD or the third party account, as applicable, to charge you.

If you purchase an auto-recurring periodic subscription, your Payment Method will continue to be billed for the subscription until you cancel. After your initial subscription commitment period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically continue for an additional equivalent period, at the price you agreed to when subscribing. If you do not wish your subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, you will need to log in to your third party account or account settings on the Website, as applicable, and follow instructions to cancel your subscription, even if you have otherwise deleted your account with us. Deleting your account on the Website does not cancel your subscription. WCD will retain all funds charged to your Payment Method until you cancel your subscription on the third party account or the Website, as applicable. If you cancel your subscription, you may continue to use your account until the end of the then-current subscription term, and your subscription will not be renewed after such subscription term expires.

If you pay WCD directly, WCD may correct any billing errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. If you initiate a chargeback or otherwise reverse a payment made with your Payment Method, WCD may terminate your account immediately without notice, in WCD’s sole discretion.

You may edit your Payment Method information by visiting your member profile. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your subscription, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize WCD to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. In addition, you authorize us to obtain updated or replacement expiration dates and card numbers for your credit or debit card as provided by your credit or debit card issuer. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer, or other provider of your Payment Method.

Except as may be otherwise provided by applicable law, all payments are nonrefundable, and WCD does not issue refunds or credits for partial subscription periods.

To cancel your subscription, please visit your member profile and select "cancel membership" or email membership@wcdglobal.org.

The notification must be submitted to:

DMCA Designated Agent Women Corporate Directors Foundation P.O. Box 7487 West Palm Beach, FL 33405

A provider of content subject to a claim of infringement may make a counter-notification. To file a counter- notification with us, please provide our DMCA Designated Agent a written communication containing the following: (i) identification of the supposedly infringing material that is to be removed; (ii) a statement that, under penalty of perjury, you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; (iii) your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your postal address is located, and that you will accept service of process from the party who submitted the infringement notification or his, her, or its principal or agent; and (iv) the signature, physical or electronic, of you or a person authorized to act on your behalf.

We will promptly provide the party that provided the notice of claimed infringement with a copy of the counter-notification, and inform the complaining party that we restore the removed or disabled content within ten (10) business days. If we do not receive notice that a lawsuit has been filed within ten (10) business days after we provide notice of the counter-notification, we will restore the removed or disabled materials. Until that time, the materials will remain removed or disabled. Before filing a copyright notification with us, make a careful determination as to whether or not the use of the material of issue is or may be protected by the “fair use” doctrine. You could potentially be held liable for costs and attorneys’ fees should you file a takedown notice where there is no infringing use. If you are unsure whether there is infringement, it may be advisable to seek legal counsel.

18. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms that has not been resolved by informal negotiations will be resolved by final and binding arbitration exclusively (i) administered by the International Center for Dispute Resolution (the “ICDR”), and (ii) under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the ICDR, (the “ICDR Rules”). Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Any award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties to the arbitration and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, and application may be made to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive or other relief in aid of such arbitration and for judicial recognition of the award and an order of enforcement.

Except as may be required by law, neither party nor any arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties. Nothing in this Section 16, or these Terms, however, shall prevent WCD from seeking immediate injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the event WCD determines that its intellectual property or confidential information is being placed at risk by the acts or omissions of you or any person for whom you are responsible or any third party.

Unless otherwise specified herein, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and WCD with respect to the Website and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and WCD with respect to the Website.

28. Waiver

The failure of WCD to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of these Terms by WCD must be in a writing and signed by an authorized representative of WCD.
