WDF’s Terms and Conditions (T&C) govern the use of its platform and membership services. All members, whether they are designers, models, or general community members, agree to these T&C upon joining. Key points of the T&C include:
By registering as a member or using WDF’s website and services, individuals agree to be bound by the T&C. These terms are accessible on the WDF website and must be agreed to (e.g., via a checkbox on signup).
Membership is open to adults aged 18 or above. During registration, one must provide accurate and complete information. Providing false information can lead to immediate termination of membership. For example, WDF’s terms state that you must be at least 18 and give accurate info; if any false or misleading info is found, WDF may terminate the membership without notice.
Members are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account login credentials. Any activity under a member’s account is presumed to be by them; therefore, members should not share passwords and should report any unauthorized use immediately. WDF is not liable for losses due to compromised passwords (though we will assist in securing the account once notified).
WDF recognizes that designers and creators own the intellectual property of the content they create. Members retain all rights to the content (designs, images, text) they post or submit. However, by participating in WDF (posting content on the site, entering competitions, etc.), members grant WDF a license to use that content for purposes of operating and promoting the forum.
Members should interact with others respectfully. Any user-generated content (comments, forum posts, messages) should be civil. Impersonation of WDF officials or other members is not allowed. Members must refrain from disrupting the platform – e.g., no flooding the forums with promotional content, no uploading malware. Community forums or discussion threads may have additional guidelines aligned with these T&C.
Members participating in physical events or competitions organized by WDF must abide by event rules. They may be required to sign specific agreements such as photo releases. Members should follow lawful instructions and conduct at events can affect membership status.
Members agree to indemnify and hold harmless WDF and its affiliates from any claims or losses arising out of their actions. For example, if a member’s posted content infringes copyright and someone sues WDF, the member should cover the costs.
WDF’s liability is limited. Services are provided “as is” without warranty of outcomes. Disputes related to projects are primarily between members and clients. WDF is not liable for indirect damages or loss of profit, to the extent permitted by law. Statutory rights remain unaffected.
WDF reserves the right to update the T&C as needed. Changes will be communicated via website notices or email. Continued use of the platform indicates acceptance of new terms.
WDF can suspend or terminate membership for violations or behavior harmful to the community. Termination can be immediate in severe misconduct cases. Members can also terminate their account through defined processes, following refund rules outlined in the Membership Cancellation Policy.
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of India. Disputes are subject to Indian courts' jurisdiction, and alternative dispute resolutions like arbitration or mediation may be considered for resolving disputes amicably.
