WebWilds User Agreement

Last Updated: February 2008

Welcome to WebWilds.com (the “Site”). We hope you will enjoy our Site and will visit us often to play with your WebWilds puppets! So that you may fully enjoy our Site, we would like you to be aware of the rules that will govern your use of the Site. As used in this User Agreement, “you” and “your” refers to the use of the Site, and, if you are under age of majority, “you” and “your” includes your parents or legal guardian. “We” and “us” refers to GLOBIO.

Please read this User Agreement carefully before using the Site. Once you agree to this User Agreement, you will be granted access to the Site until your account expires, unless your access is terminated earlier for reasons described in this User Agreement.

We may, in our sole discretion, modify, add, delete or otherwise change the provisions of this User Agreement from time to time. Changes in the User Agreement will be signaled by a change in the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this document. If you do not agree to the amended User Agreement, you may not continue to use the Site. However, please note that no changes to this User Agreement that we may make in the future will shorten the balance of your Registration Period at the time of amendment.

By clicking on the “Agree” button, you specifically agree to this User Agreement. If you do not agree to this User Agreement, please exit the Site.

Registration and Your Account

When you enter the site, you will be asked to register by making up a username and password, and identifying your WebWilds’ secret code. Please DO NOT use personal information that can identify who you are when choosing your username.

After providing us with your username, password and WebWilds’ secret code, we will also collect answers about you and your WebWilds puppet that will help us identify you in case you forget your password in the future.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU REMEMBER YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD AND THAT YOU KEEP YOUR USERNAME, PASSWORD AND WEBWILDS’ SECRET CODE IN A SAFE PLACE OFFLINE. WE RECOMMEND YOU PRINT A COPY OF YOUR WEBWILDS’ INFORMATION FOR YOUR RECORDS.

We will use your username and password to identify you when you return to our Site. IF YOU FORGET YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD AND LOSE YOUR SECRET CODE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE SITE AND PLAY WITH YOUR WEBWILDS PUPPET.

Each time you purchase an additional WebWilds, your Registration Period will be reset at twelve (12) months from the date that you register the new puppet on the Site. Registration Periods are not cumulative. For example, if you register two new WebWilds puppets at the same time, your new Registration Period would be twelve (12) months from the date of activation of the new puppets, not twenty-four (24) months.

This Site is designed for you to register all of your puppets using your original username and password. We strongly recommend that you do register all of your puppets using your original username and password so that you can take full advantage of all of the features that we have on the WebWilds site. If, by mistake, you register a new puppet using a different username and password, a new account will be created. Accounts are separate. This means that you can only play with puppets and use other features of the Site on an account-by-account basis. Renewing, extending or resetting one account does not renew, extend or reset any other account that you may have on the Site.
