You also agree that you will not interfere in any way with the proper functioning of this site; that the use of profanity, or other offensive language will not be tolerated; and that solicitations, other than those offered by vendors or advertisers on the site, of any kind are strictly prohibited.
All vendors listing on this site warrant that they, or the company they represent is engaged in the retail sale of goods and/or services and accept membership under the terms provided herein. This site is intended for the benefit of retail consumers, their families and friends. The wholesaling of goods and/or services on this site is strictly prohibited.
You further agree that WVGE may suspend or terminate your account and use of this site, if, in its discretion it determines that you have violated any of the terms provided hereunder, and/or any amendments to such terms, or otherwise fail to meet the qualifications for membership.
You agree not to hold WVGE responsible for the content posted by vendors, other members or advertisers on this site. You acknowledge that WVGE is not involved in the actual transactions between members and vendors/advertisers, and you acknowledge that WVGE does not control or in any way represent or warrant the quality of the items purchased under those transactions or that such items are fit for any particular purpose. You also understand and agree that vendor, advertiser, and user dashboards are provided to facilitate ease of navigation of this site and WVGE assumes no liability for the failure to store or maintain any user content, communications or personal settings.
WVGE makes every effort to ensure the information presented on the site is accurate.

Dispute Resolution
Should a dispute arise between you and WVGE, every effort will be made to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute in as little time as possible. We always encourage you to first contact us directly through at info@wherevirginiagetsengaged.com for resolution of such matters. In the event the dispute cannot be resolved informally, WVGE will consider requests to resolve disputes through an alternate dispute resolution forum such as mediation or arbitration. If the dispute has not been resolved through any of these means you agree to the following:
Applicable Law and Court Jurisdiction:
This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to any conflict of law provisions. You agree that any and all legal or equitable claims made against WVGE in a court proceeding will be made and resolved by a court located in Rockingham County, Virginia, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing prior to the commencement of such action.
For any claim, for money damages, where the total award sought to be recovered is less than $ 5,000, the party seeking such damages may request that the dispute be resolved through binding arbitration that does not require the physical attendance of the parties, such process to be conducted by telephone, on-line, or by written submissions, with the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating such action. It is the responsibility of the claimant to initiate the process by contacting a mutually agreed alternate dispute resolution provider, whose award will be binding on the parties and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Failure to Properly File Claims:
All claims made against WVGE must be resolved under the terms set forth above. Any claim made contrary to these provisions will be considered improperly filed. In the event WVGE notifies you in writing that your claim has been improperly filed, and you fail to withdraw the claim, you agree to reimburse WVGE for any attorney’s fees and costs incurred not to exceed $ 1,000.
WVGE does not sell or lease any personal information you provide to third parties for their marketing or other purposes without your consent. Your privacy as a user of this site is very important to us, and your information will only be used in the manner described under our Privacy Policy. For a complete description please access that policy. If you object to the use of your information as outlined, please do not use these services.

In the event any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be stricken and the remaining provisions above stated shall be enforced. Headings are for ease of reference only and are not intended to limit the scope or extent of the provisions stated thereunder.
