Your access to and/or use of this site,
www.WatchCount.com, and its associated services implies your consent to these Terms of Service. This also includes the
WatchCount.com Affiliate Program and off-site services provided by WatchCount.com and WatchCount.org, such as the
WatchCount.com Widget (WCW),
Dynamic Watch This Item Link (DWTIL), and the
WatchCount.com Newsletter. Collectively these will be referred to as our "Services" below. "You" refers to you as a website visitor, client, or other utilizer of our Services, as well as any 3rd party you authorize, such as your agents.
These Services are provided on an "as-is" basis without any guarantee to their functionality, effectiveness, accuracy, or continued existence. The Services we provide are dependent on some factors outside of our control, so as a result we cannot guarantee 100% uptime or complete access to these Services. We, WatchCount.com/.org, expressly disclaim all liability, whether direct or indirect, consequential or incidental, obvious or implied, for any damages should our Services fail or otherwise not perform as expected, or for any other reason. You hereby acknowledge that any reliance upon any of the Services we provide is wholly and solely at your own risk. We reserve the right to change our Terms of Service (ToS) at any time; your continued use of our Services constitutes your acceptance of our ToS. The current version of our ToS will always be posted on this page.
You agree that you will not scrape, hack, or abuse our website(s) or the Services we provide. You may not place any of our web pages in a browser frame or iframe without our prior permission. You will not conduct Denial of Service or other malicious attacks onto our sites, nor attempt to disrupt our Services in any way. You will not attempt to obtain, reverse engineer, decompile, create derivative works from, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the WatchCount.com/.org websites, software, content or servers. We maintain the final decision as to what constitutes abuse, hacking, scraping, DoS attacks, and other destructive or malevolent activity.
A few other things . . .
We can't guarantee that the WCW will increase bidding activity or interest in your
eBay item/listing.
While we've attempted to offer our Services so that they don't violate, or cause you to violate, any eBay policies, we can't guarantee that will always be the case for each of our clients, at all times. If eBay cancels any of your listings, terminates your membership in the eBay Partner Network, or otherwise takes punitive action against you because of a Service we provide, we'd certainly
like to hear about it, but we disclaim responsibility for any damages that result, as described in greater detail in the paragraph up above.
Know that some of our Services have inherent delays built-in. For example, Watch Count data we obtain to display on our site and in the WCW are accurate but often subject to a 2-5 minute delay.
If you are sending traffic to WatchCount.com by way of your WatchCount.com Affiliate Link, you also agree to abide by the WatchCount.com Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions, presented to you when you became a member of the WatchCount.com Affiliate Program.
Some of our links will take you to external sites. Such sites are not within our control, and we are not responsible for their content, behavior, existence or functionality.
As they say in brick-and-mortar retail establishments here in the US, "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." — and we may do so with or without any notice to you. (Typically we will only do this if we strongly suspect you are violating our Terms of Service.)
All this having been said, please understand that we are committed to offering our Services with 100% availability, completeness, accuracy, and timeliness — and we've done pretty darn close to that so far. In the event of temporary or permanent failure of any our services, we have instituted best-effort practices to minimize the effects on our visitors and clients (for example, if the WCW can't obtain an item's Watch Count, it will simply hide itself). In the event of extended or permanent failure of any of our Services, we will attempt to post notice in a prominent location on
www.WatchCount.com (or the relevant product page) within a reasonable amount of time.
Thanks for reading, and we apologize for the hard-hitting tone. (Looking for more exciting fine print to read? You may wish to see our
Privacy Policy.)
