Account Sharing
You may not share the Account or the login information with anyone other than as expressly set forth herein. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login information, and, provided that you act negligently or wilfully, you will be responsible for all uses of the login information, including purchases, whether or not authorized by you.

If someone used your account to sign-in on a separate machine/browser your authentication session will be terminated (forced logout), and you will be presented with a message informing you of the reason. Should this happen to you we recommend immediately changing your password. Should an account show an unusual count of forced logouts we reserve the right to lock the account.
Excessive usage: For the smooth operation of the system and integrity of the performance of the website, the system is designed to restrict the consecutive resets allowed on any resource (100). If you hit the maximum limit of resource resets the reset functionality will be removed for that resource.
Multi user accounts: While we do not support multi user accounts we do provide licences for organisations with a need to give access to multiple employees. For further details please refer to our multi user packages.
Privacy
Use of the data that you provide us, or which is collected by use on our website, is governed by our Privacy Policy below. By using our site you consent to such processing.
Access to the WACS Website
We try to ensure that website availability is uninterrupted and that transmissions will be error-free. However, we cannot guarantee that your access will not be suspended or restricted from time to time, including to allow for repairs, maintenance, or the introduction of new facilities or services. We of course try to limit the frequency and duration of any suspension or restriction.
Accounts and Passwords
If you have registered or subscribed to use any service within the WACS Website, any user identification code or password is personal and non-transferable. Your login details must be kept confidential and can only be used by you (unless agreed in writing with Advosci Ltd) for the specified term of your subscription or registration period (which may be terminated at the discretion of Advosci Ltd). We reserve the right to take action should this requirement be breached.
Our Products and Services
WACS is an online study website. A description of what is included in each WACS subscribed service is contained on our website, including the period of each subscription. The Blog and any other services which are currently available without a subscription are also indicated on the website.
Placing an Order and our Acceptance
When you request an online purchase, the language that we offer to you for the conclusion of this process will be English only.
For online payments, we may at that time allow you to have temporary access online to the WACS service that you wish to subscribe to, but this is a gesture of goodwill and does not represent acceptance of your offer. Access will need to be made via the username and password supplied. Irrespective of an online payment, our contract will not become binding until five working days have elapsed after a successful payment is made online and only if we do not contact you. This is in case any pricing errors have occurred and if so we will contact you. For Cheque, Postal Order or International Money Orders our contract will become binding upon receipt by Advosci Ltd of clear funds and notice of acceptance. Subject to the foregoing, delivery will be deemed to have taken place once the login details have been sent by us to you.
Please note that if you wish to cancel any subscription that you have purchased after our contract comes into effect, cancellation shall be at our discretion and if accepted may be subject to a cancellation charge. You hereby agree that no cancellation is allowed after these services have started to be supplied. This does not otherwise affect your statutory rights.
WACS services are supplied subject to availability and remaining in current circulation. In the event that we are unable to supply any WACS services for the agreed term, we will inform you as soon as possible and provide you with a pro rata refund in the event that you have paid for a period for which we cannot comply. We will not however be liable to the full extent permitted by law, for any direct or indirect loss caused as a result of not being able to supply to you within the subscription for all or any of the periods subscribed to.
Prices and Payments
The price that you pay for the WACS services you order should be the standard pricing as indicated on the website. These prices are inclusive of all taxes and delivery unless otherwise indicated. They are valid for purchases during the calendar year which they relate to. All subscribers are required to make payment in pounds sterling. Should you be paying from an account outside of the United Kingdom, the exchange rate will be calculated by your bank.
We try to ensure that all of our prices on our website are accurate, however errors may occur. If we discover any errors in the prices of the services that you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of recommencing your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If you do not respond to our contact, we will treat the order as cancelled. If you order and we have already processed your payment, you will receive a full refund.
Payments may be made through the methods specified on our Order Summary section of our website. We take all reasonable precautions to keep the details of your order and payment secure. Unless we are negligent however, we cannot be liable for losses caused as a result of unauthorised access to the information provided by you.
