Wayband™ Pre-Order Reservation
Last updated: Nov. 5, 2017
Welcome to the web site provided by WearWorks, Inc. (referred to as “WearWorks,” “us”, “we”, or “our,”) at http://www.wear.works or any http://www.wear.works sub-domains (the “Site”). These pre-order reservation terms and conditions (“Terms”) apply to the pre-sale of the Wayband™ wearable haptic navigation device for the blind or visually impaired (“Wayband™”).
WearWorks may change these Terms without prior written notice at any time, in our sole discretion. Please review the latest version of these Terms prior to placing any Pre-Order Reservations (defined below) for Wayband™. Your continued use of this Site or placement of a Pre-Order Reservation after a posted change in these Terms will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes. If you have any questions regarding these Terms, please contact us at hello@wear.works.
BY PLACING AN ORDER FOR A Wayband™ FROM THIS SITE, YOU ACCEPT, AGREE TO, AND ARE LEGALLY BOUND BY, THESE TERMS, AND ANY AND ALL ADDITIONAL TERMS AND POLICIES WE PROVIDE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, OUR PRIVACY POLICY http://www.wear.works/privacy-policy (“PRIVACY POLICY”) AND ALL TERMS INCLUDED IN-BOX WITH THE Wayband™, SUCH AS ANY AND ALL Wayband™ WARRANTIES. PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW OUR PRIVACY POLICY TO LEARN ABOUT HOW WE COLLECT AND USE YOUR DATA BEFORE PLACING A PRE-ORDER RESERVATION FOR THE Wayband™ THROUGH THIS SITE.
THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES ARISING UNDER IT, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.
1. Pre-Order Reservations.
a. Offer. WearWorks may provide you with the opportunity to reserve and pre-order Wayband™. Wayband™ devices made available for reservation and pre-order are not offered for sale by WearWorks. Reserving a Wayband™ and placing a pre-order does not create a contract of sale; rather, you are making an offer to WearWorks to purchase the Wayband™, subject to these Terms (each offer, a “Pre-Order Reservation”).
b. Credit or Debit Card Charges. When you place your Pre-Order Reservation, our Payment Service Provider (defined below) will obtain an authorization hold from your bank or credit card company at no charge and this authorization may stay open until the charge is actually made. This hold is released from the account depending on your bank's specific policies. If you are using a credit card gift card, the funds will immediately be deducted from your account (see “Payment Methods” below). Later, when the Wayband™ is offered for sale, WearWorks may accept your offer to purchase Wayband™, subject to these Terms. At that time, our Payment Service Provider will charge your payment card and ship your Wayband™. Our Payment Service Provider may obtain an additional authorization from your payment card company to confirm the necessary funds are available to purchase the Wayband™ requested.
c. Shipping. If WearWorks provides an expected shipping date, such date is an estimate and subject to change. WearWorks shall not be liable for any change in such expected shipping date.
d. Cancellation. You may cancel your pre-order at any time prior to shipment by calling our customer service department at (347) 791-4991, during normal business hours 9 am to 5 pm ET, excluding New Year’s Eve and Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve & Day. If you cancel, you will not be charged. WearWorks reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order for any reason at any time prior to shipment, including after an order has been submitted, whether or not the order has been confirmed. We may attempt to contact you if all or any portion of your order is cancelled, or if additional information is needed to complete and accept your order.
e. Account Required. A WEARWORKS user account is required in order to activate and use the Wayband™ (“Wayband™ Activation”). The WEARWORKS account registration will be offered to you once you have received your Wayband™.
f. Eligibility. Any use of this Site or Wayband™ devices by anyone under 13 is strictly prohibited and in violation of these Terms.
2. Prices and Payment Terms for Pre-Order Reservations.
All descriptions of the Wayband™, prices, and payment terms posted on this Site are within our sole discretion and subject to change at any time, without notice. The price charged for a Wayband™ and payment terms will be the price and payment terms in effect at the time the order is placed and will be set out in your order confirmation e-mail. Price increases will only apply to orders placed after such changes. Posted prices do not include taxes or shipping and handling charges. All such taxes and charges will be added to your merchandise total and will be itemized in your shopping cart and in your order confirmation e-mail. We are not responsible for pricing, typographical or other errors in any offer by us and we reserve the right to cancel any orders arising from such errors.
Payments for the Wayband™ are processed through one of our third-party payment service providers, currently [Stripe] (each, a “Payment Service Provider”). Payment must be received by our Payment Service Providers before our acceptance of an order. Each of our Payment Service Providers accepts the Payment Methods listed below. For all purchases, our Payment Service Providers will collect your payment method details and charge your payment method in connection with an order. You represent and warrant that (a) the account, order, and payment method information you supply to us or our Payment Service Providers, as applicable, is true, correct and complete, (b) you are duly authorized to use such payment method for the purchase, (c) charges incurred by you will be honored by your payment method company, and (d) you will pay all charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including all applicable taxes, if any. If any of your account, order, or payment method information changes, you agree to promptly update this information, so that we or our Payment Service Providers may complete your transactions and contact you as needed. We are not liable for any unauthorized use of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method by a third party in connection with your use of the Site or Wayband™.

3. Shipping
Wayband™ devices reserved as Pre-Order Reservations are not immediately available for shipping, and therefore, will not ship until a later date. Your reserved items should arrive by the expected delivery date, which is shown at checkout. The expected delivery date for reserved items is an estimated date and cannot be guaranteed. You will be notified via email if there is an issue that will delay your delivery beyond the expected delivery date.
We are offering free ground shipping for all Wayband™ devices ordered during the Pre-Order Reservation, which will be shipped via the U.S. Postal Service, for delivery in the continental U.S. only.
Shipping to a Different Address. Your billing and shipping addresses may be different.
4. Shipments; Delivery; Title and Risk of Loss.
We will arrange for packing and shipment of the Wayband™ to you. Shipping options for the Wayband™ will be presented to you during checkout. You will pay all shipping and handling charges specified during the ordering process.
Title and risk of loss pass to you upon our transfer of the Wayband™ to the carrier/delivery. Scheduled shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to ship the Wayband™ to you by the scheduled delivery dates, but we are not liable, under any circumstances, for any losses, damages or penalties due to any delays in shipments or deliveries.
5. Canceling an Order
You have the option to cancel your order at any time before we have sent your order confirmation e-mail by calling our customer service department at (347) 791-4991, during normal business hours 9 am to 5 pm ET, excluding New Year’s Eve and Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve & Day.
6. Return Policy/30-Day Money Back Guarantee
We want each of our customers to be totally excited about their Wayband™, and are pleased to offer a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you are not 100% satisfied, we will accept a return of the Wayband™ for a refund of your purchase price, less the original shipping and handling costs, provided such return is made within thirty (30) days of your Wayband™ Activation and provided such Wayband™ is returned in its original condition, as determined in our sole discretion. To return Wayband™, you must include all components of the Wayband™ and include their original packaging when sending them back to us.
You bear the risk of loss during shipment. We therefore strongly recommend that you fully insure your return shipment against loss or damage and that you use a carrier that can provide you with proof of delivery for your protection.
Refunds are processed within approximately the next two (2) billing cycles of your payment method statement from the date we receive your merchandise. Your refund will be credited back to the same payment method used to make the original Pre-Order Reservation on the Site.
7. Exchanges
During the first 12 months from the delivery date of your Wayband™, if you are not able to make your Wayband™ work and you have worked with us directly to resolve the issue, we may determine that an exchange is necessary. If in our sole discretion we determine that an exchange is necessary, we will refer you to customer service to arrange for a replacement of the affected Wayband™ Component(s).
