1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to thewild.com (the "Website"), a website owned and operated by Wild Technology Inc. ("The Wild" or "TW" or "Company"). Any reference to TW in this document includes our directors, officers, employees, contractors, owners, agents, licensors, licensees, and corporation. Access and use of the services described in the confirmation page, quote, invoice, or other ordering form that references this Agreement ("Order Form") through the Website (the "TW Services") by the purchaser of such services as defined in the Order Form (the "Customer") is subject to these Terms of Use and all other operating rules and policies (including, without limitation, the TW Privacy Policy) that may be published from time to time on this Website by TW (collectively, the "Agreement"). By accepting electronically (for example, clicking "I Agree"), accessing, or using the TW Services, you agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement, as they may be amended from time to time in the future (see "Modifications" below). If you do not agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement, then you may not use the TW Services.
This Agreement will only apply to the extent that no binding agreement, written or electronic, (the "Other Agreement") is already in place between Customer and TW pertaining to the TW Services to which this Agreement applies. To the extent that any other agreement is in effect, then such other agreement will govern Customer's use of the TW Services and this Agreement will not apply, even if you are required to click the box affirming your consent to the terms of this Agreement.
If you do not have the authority to bind the Customer, or you or the Customer do not agree to any of the terms below, TW is unwilling to provide the TW Services to the Customer, and you should not click to accept the terms of this Agreement and you should discontinue your order of the TW Services.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings given them in Section 15.
