WGdirect grants you permission to use the Website in accordance with these Terms of Service, provided that:

5)      you will otherwise comply with these Terms of Service.

In order to access some of the Website’s features, you may need to create an account or complete certain forms. You may never use another person’s account without permission or use another individual’s personal information on a particular form without their explicit authorization and consent.

WGdirect reserves the right to establish data transfer restrictions and to limit the total amount of data transfer associated with your account. WGdirect may close a user account or block a particular IP address(es) from a visitor of the Website if it determines in its sole discretion that the total amount of that account’s data transfer is excessive.

You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” etc., that accesses the Website in a manner that sends more request messages to the WGdirect’s servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional on-line web browser.
