6. Limitations, Restrictions and Risks

Our Site and Services are neutral online platforms for you. Apart from your purchasing specific goods and services identified on our Site, we are not involved in transactions between you and other users, organizations and professionals, nor are we involved in the provision of goods or services by any of such parties.

We cannot prevent people from acting under false pretences, or persons lacking the requisite legal capacity and powers from using our Site and Services.

Our Site and Services will not be error-free, uninterrupted and will be variable.

Wehl reserves the right but does not assume the obligation to inspect the content and material in users' files and postings to ascertain compliance with these Terms or any applicable laws. In the event of any breach or purported breach, Wehl will be entitled to permit police or other relevant authority to inspect the same.

11. Termination

We may, at our sole discretion and at any time, issue a warning, temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or terminate your Wehl account, and cancel or remove from Wehl any requests, transactions or any information you place on Wehl. If you have purchased a Wehl Service for which a subscription fee is payable and have not been in breach of these Terms, we will, in the case of termination, refund you an amount corresponding to, on a pro-rata basis, the unused portion of your paid subscription term.

Subscriptions to Wehl Services for which a fee is payable (“Wehl Paid Services”) will automatically renew at the end of their applicable term. You may, at any time, cancel your subscription to Wehl Paid Services through settings in your account. You will still receive Wehl Paid Services until the end of your applicable term, unless this agreement is otherwise terminated earlier.

You may, within thirty (30) days of the date of purchase of any Wehl Paid Services, terminate your subscription if you are not completely satisfied and request a refund of the then-current subscription amount (for example, the annual fee that was purchased within thirty (30) days) by emailing  [email protected] with (i) your notice of termination, (ii) request for refund of your then-current subscription amount, and (iii) reason for termination. Refunds will not be issued if you have been in breach of these Terms, or if you make your refund request more than thirty (30) days after the date of purchase. Your Paid Services will otherwise terminate upon the expiration of the term for which you have paid.

13. Governing Law

The Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without respect to its conflict of laws provisions. For any dispute you have with Wehl, you agree to first contact us and try to resolve the dispute with us informally. If we need to contact you, we will do so at the email address on your Wehl account.

The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with the Ontario Arbitration Act, 1991, shall take place in Toronto, Ontario in the English language, before a single arbitrator agreed by you and Wehl, or else appointed by a judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice upon the application of one or both parties. The arbitrator shall decide according to Ontario law, and awards by the arbitration tribunal shall be binding on the parties. The United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods is excluded from the Terms.

14. General

  1. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to our services, and operation of Wehl may be interfered with by numerous factors, some of which are outside of our control. We accept no responsibility or obligation whatsoever for any such interruption or interference. If any provision of the Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, only such provision or portion thereof as is held to be invalid or unenforceable shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be fully enforceable. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section.
  2. Our failure to act or delay in acting with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to that breach, subsequent or similar breaches.
  3. Certain areas of Wehl may be subject to additional terms of use. By using such areas, or any part thereof, you agree to be bound by the additional terms of use applicable to such areas.

The Terms, including any documents referenced herein, set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and us with respect to Wehl.
