WSN Membership Terms
Version draft-2026-10-06
These terms cover your World Scuba Network account and your WSN Diver Membership.
1. Who these terms are between
These terms are an agreement between you and World Scuba Network ("WSN", "we", "us") for the WSN Diver Membership. [Legal entity name, registered address and company number to be confirmed.]
By creating a WSN account and ticking the box to accept these terms, you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't create an account.
2. Your account
You must give accurate information when you join and keep it up to date. You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for activity under your account.
Your account is personal to you. Don't share it or let anyone else use it.
Information you give about your diving, such as your certification, is self-reported. WSN does not verify it unless we tell you otherwise. Dive operators remain responsible for checking your qualifications before you dive with them.
3. Membership, price and payment
The WSN Diver Membership is a paid subscription. The price and billing period are shown before you pay. Your membership becomes active once your first payment succeeds.
Payments are processed by Stripe. WSN does not see or store your full card number.
We may offer some members a complimentary or discounted price. Any such price applies only to the member it was given to and only for the period stated.
4. Automatic renewal and cancellation
Your membership renews automatically at the end of each billing period, and we charge the payment method on file, until you turn off auto-renewal.
You can turn off auto-renewal at any time from your account page. Your membership then stays active until the end of the period you've already paid for and is not renewed.
If we change the membership price, we will tell you before it applies to your next renewal, and you can turn off auto-renewal before then.
5. Refunds
Membership fees are non-refundable once paid, except where the law requires a refund or where WSN decides to give one. [Statutory cancellation rights for consumers in the EU, UK and other regions to be confirmed by counsel.]
6. Dive shops and other businesses
WSN may help you find and book with independent dive shops, operators and instructors. They are separate businesses. Your booking with them, including payment, safety and cancellation, is between you and them under their own terms.
Your WSN membership account is separate from any customer record a dive shop keeps about you. Joining WSN does not give any shop access to your WSN account.
7. Acceptable use
Don't misuse WSN: no unlawful activity, impersonation, harassment, scraping, attempts to access other people's accounts, or interference with the service.
8. Suspension and closing your account
You can ask us to close your account at any time. [Support contact to be confirmed.]
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or that we reasonably believe is being used fraudulently. Where appropriate we will tell you why.
9. Liability
Scuba diving carries inherent risks. WSN does not provide diving instruction or supervision and is not responsible for activities run by independent operators.
[Limitation of liability, disclaimers and consumer-law carve-outs to be drafted by counsel.]
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you, we will tell you in advance by email or on your account page.
11. Governing law and contact
[Governing law, jurisdiction and dispute-resolution terms to be confirmed by counsel.]
[WSN contact email and postal address to be confirmed.]
