Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any purchase.
  2. All Content and/or Services described or depicted on the Sites are subject to change at any time without notice. Certain weights, measures, and other descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only. The inclusion of any products or services on the Sites does not imply or warrant that these products or services will be available. It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal, and international laws (including minimum age requirements) in regard to the receipt, possession, use, and sale of any item purchased from the Sites. By placing an order, you represent that the products ordered will be used only in a lawful manner.

  1. BILLING AND RECURRING BILLING
  1. Some of the Services offered on the Sites, including the purchase of any products, whether on a one-time basis, or on a reoccurring basis, may be subject to payments now or in the future (the “Paid Services”). Any disclosures provided to you during the sign up stage on the Websites, or during a Transaction are incorporated into these Terms by reference.
  2. For any Paid Services, Watch Gang uses a third-party processor (“Processor”) to bill you through a payment account connected to a Member’s registration account (“Billing Account”). The processing of payments will be subject to these Terms, as well as all terms, conditions, and privacy notices of the Processor. Watch Gang is not responsible for errors or mistakes by the Processor. By entering into a Transaction for Paid Services, the Member is entering into a binding contract with Watch Gang and agrees to pay all charges that may be incurred by the Member through the Sites, at the price(s) in effect when such charges are incurred including, without limitation, all shipping and handling charges, and the Member agrees to authorize Watch Gang to process such payments through the Processor. In addition, the Member remains responsible for any taxes that may be applicable to your Transactions. While not obligated to do so, Watch Gang may correct any errors by the Processor even if it has requested or received payment.
  3. The Member that enters into a Transaction for Paid Services agrees that the terms of payment for the Transaction are based upon the agreements between the Member and his/her respective financial institution, credit card issuer, or other provider. If Watch Gang does not receive payment for the Transaction for Paid Services through the Processor, the Member agrees to pay all amounts due on by the Member for any Paid Services.
  4. THE PAID SERVICES OFFERED ON THE SITES, SUCH AS MONTH-TO-MONTH, OR ANY PREPAID MEMBERSHIP, CONSIST OF AN INITIAL PERIOD OF MEMBERSHIP, FOR WHICH THERE IS A ONE-TIME CHARGE, FOLLOWED BY RECURRING PERIOD CHARGES AS AGREED TO BY YOU (“MEMBERSHIP PLAN”). YOU HAVE THE OPTION OF SELECTING EITHER A MONTH-TO-MONTH MEMBERSHIP PLAN, OR A PREPAID MEMBERSHIP PLAN OVER A 3, 6, OR 12 MONTH PERIOD. EACH MEMBERSHIP PLAN IS A RECURRING PLAN. THE MEMBER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT SUCH PAID SERVICES HAVE AN INITIAL AND RECURRING PAYMENT FEATURE, AND ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL RECURRING CHARGES PRIOR TO CANCELLATION. ALL RECURRING PAYMENTS ARE EARNED UPON PAYMENT. THE MEMBER’S MEMBERSHIP PLAN WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED FOR SUCCESSIVE PERIODS EQUAL TO THE MEMBERSHIP PLAN PURCHASED, SUCH AS A MONTH-TO MONTH MEMBERSHIP PLAN, OR A PREPAID MEMBERSHIP PLAN. THE MEMBER’S PAYMENT METHOD WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE CHARGED FOR EACH SUCCESSIVE MEMBERSHIP PLAN AT THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION RATE FOR THE MEMBERSHIP PLAN PURCHASED UNTIL THE MEMBER CANCELS THE RENEWAL OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP PLAN.
  5. UNLESS THE MEMBER CANCELS THE MEMBERSHIP PLAN PRIOR TO THE TIME OF BILLING FOR A TRANSACTION, WHICH CAN BE DONE BY EMAILING [email protected]. THE MEMBER’S PAYMENT METHOD WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE CHARGED FOR SUCCESSIVE RENEWAL PERIODS OF THE SAME DURATION AS THE PURCHASED MEMBERSHIP PLAN. THE MEMBER AGREES THAT WATCH GANG MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERM OF YOUR PREPAID MEMBERSHIP PLAN) TO THE MEMBER’S CHOSEN PAYMENT METHOD WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM THE MEMBER, UNTIL THE MEMBER PROVIDES PRIOR NOTICE THAT HE/SHE WISHES TO TERMINATE THIS AUTHORIZATION OR TO CHANGE THE PAYMENT METHOD. THE MEMBER AGREES THAT SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WATCH GANG REASONABLY COULD ACT. THE MEMBER’S NON-TERMINATION OR CONTINUED USE OF A PAID SERVICE REAFFIRMS THAT WATCH GANG IS AUTHORIZED TO CHARGE THE MEMBER’S PAYMENT METHOD FOR THAT PAID SERVICE. A MEMBER’S CHARGES MAY BECOME PAYABLE IN ADVANCE, IN ARREARS, PER USAGE, OR AS OTHERWISE DESCRIBED WHEN THE MEMBER INITIALLY PURCHASED THE MEMBERSHIP PLAN.
  6. A MEMBER MAY ONLY CANCEL A PREPAID SUBSCRIPTION DURING THE FIRST MONTH OF THE SUBSCRIPTION. CANCELLATION MAY BE DONE THROUGH THE MEMBER’S ACCOUNT ON THE SITE, OR BY SENDING WATCH GANG A MESSAGE AT [email protected]. CASH REFUNDS WILL NOT BE ISSUED FOR ENDING A PREPAID MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION EARLY. FOR WATCH SUBSCRIPTIONS, WE WILL ONLY CONVERT ANY REMAINING SHIPMENTS INTO ACCOUNT CREDIT IN THE FORM OF WATCH GANG POINTS.
  7. Any Member that enters into a Transaction must provide current, complete, and accurate information for the Member’s billing account on the Sites. The Member must promptly update all information to keep the billing account current, complete, and accurate. The Member must notify Watch Gang of any potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized use of any payment device, or the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Member’s username or password. Changes to such information must be made at the Sites. If the Member fails to provide such updated information for any Transaction, whether a single transaction or a reoccurring transaction, the Member agrees that Watch Gang may continue to charge the Member for any Services purchased unless the Member has Terminated his/her account, or has cancelled their membership.
  8. Watch Gang reserves the right to revoke a Membership Plan at any time as a result of violation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy.

  12. In the event that any order is returned to us as “Return to Sender,” including, without limitation, due to an incorrect or incomplete address, refusal of delivery, or failure to claim the package, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to issue either store credit or a refund. Any such credit or refund will be reduced by (i) the cost of return shipping, calculated as the original shipping amount paid at the time of purchase, and (ii) a restocking fee of ten dollars (USD $10.00). These deductions will be applied prior to the issuance of any credit or refund. All shipping charges are non-refundable.
  1. GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS. A Membership Plan may be gifted to another person (“Gift Membership Plan”).

  12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION/AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.

You should review this provision carefully.  This arbitration provision limits your and Watch Gang’s ability to litigate claims in court and you and Watch Gang each agree to waive your respective rights to a jury trial.

  1. Applicability.  This Dispute Resolution Policy/Agreement to Arbitrate (“Agreement”) is part of the contracts between you and Watch Gang.  References to “Watch Gang,” “you,” and “us” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, licensees, licensors, and providers of content as of the time your or our claim arises; our respective predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns (including WG Collective LLC and its subsidiaries and affiliates); and all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of Watch Gang’s products or services under this or prior Agreements between us.  
  2. Agreement.  Watch Gang agrees to be bound by this Agreement and, by checking a box indicating that you have agreed to these Terms, you hereby consent to this Agreement.
  3. Covered Claims. This Agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted to govern resolution of any dispute, controversy, or claim, whether based on contract, tort, fraudulent misrepresentation, statute, regulation, constitution, common law, equity, or any other matter that arises out of or relates in any way to the relationship between you and Watch Gang, or your use and/or purchase of any Watch Gang product, service, or website (“Dispute”).  For the avoidance of doubt, covered claims include, but are not limited to, claims that arose between you and Watch Gang before this or any prior Agreement was entered into (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising), and any claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.
  4. Informal Resolution.  If a dispute arises between you and Watch Gang, you agree to first provide Watch Gang with notice of your complaint via email to [email protected] with an email entitled “LEGAL DISPUTE” so that the parties may attempt to resolve the dispute informally within 60 days from the date your complaint is received.
  5. Arbitration.
  1. If a Dispute cannot be resolved through informal resolution, with the exception of Excluded Claims, the Dispute shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with this Agreement.
  2. Any arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted by JAMS and arbitrated by one arbitrator in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”). The JAMS Rules are available for review on JAMS's website at https: //www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/. To the extent the JAMS Rules directly conflict with any provision or aspect of this Agreement, this Agreement shall control. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding. The arbitrator shall have the power to award any types of legal or equitable relief that would be available under applicable law, shall issue a written decision including the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award, and shall have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute, which shall be at least the default discovery provided for under the JAMS rules.  If you are an individual consumer, then the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness shall apply.  If, for any reason, JAMS is unable to administer the arbitration, you may file your Dispute with any national arbitration company under the applicable Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
  3. If you are an individual consumer and you are located within the United States, the arbitration shall, at your election, take place in the county and state of your residence. Additionally, any arbitration proceedings may be conducted in person, through submission of documents, by phone, and/or online, through agreement of the parties or by order of the arbitrator.  The claims in the arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the state of your residence.
  4. If you are an individual consumer, then Watch Gang will pay all arbitration administrative fees and costs, including the costs of the arbitrator, with the sole exception of the filing fee required for you to initiate a claim (which shall not exceed $250).
  5. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Sections 1-14) shall apply to the construction, interpretation, and enforceability of this provision notwithstanding any other choice of law provision contained in this or any other agreement, including the Terms of Service. Both the procedural and substantive provisions of the FAA shall apply. Questions of arbitrability (including the way the Agreement was formed, its applicability, its scope, meaning, enforceability, validity, rescission, waiver of the right or obligation to arbitrate, or any claim that all or part of this Agreement is void or voidable) shall be decided by the arbitrator. For the avoidance of doubt, the intent of this agreement is to clearly and unmistakably delegate all questions of arbitrability to an arbitrator and provide that such questions shall not be decided by a court.  Likewise, procedural questions which grow out of the dispute and bear on the final disposition are also matters for the arbitrator.
  1. Waiver of Class Action and Representative Claims.
  1. YOU AND WATCH GANG AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND THAT ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, NOR JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THE CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.
  2. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or entity, and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
  3. The intent of this Agreement is that disputes between You and Watch Gang be resolved in arbitration and on an individual basis to the full extent permitted by applicable law.  
  4. This provision does not bar the assertion of individual claims to public injunctive relief in arbitration.  
  1. Excluded Claims
  1. You and Watch Gang agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration:
  1. Any Dispute seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of Watch Gang’s intellectual property rights;
  2. Any claim seeking only individualized relief within the jurisdictional limits of the small claims courts so long as the action remains in that court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction;
  3. Actions for a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order from a federal or state court as necessary to maintain the status quo pending final resolution in arbitration. However, after such request for relief has been adjudicated by such court, the remainder of the Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration as set forth in this Agreement.
  1. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.
  1. Severability.  You and Watch Gang agree that if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement (Section 20) is found illegal or unenforceable, such portion shall be severed and the remainder of this Section 20 shall be given full force and effect. Any Dispute subject to any such portion of the Arbitration Agreement shall be decided by the arbitrator.
