Fair Play
A part of the WOO Services is the possibility to compare your Kiteboarding achievements with other WOO users.

WOO has the right to delete specific jumps or sessions if there is reason to believe that there was cheating or wrong use of our WOO Sensor involved. This includes an incorrect positioning of the WOO Sensor. WOO has the right to exclude you or your sessions from the WOO Leaderboards at WOO’s sole discretion and without prior notice.
Changes to the Services
WOO may change or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any feature or component of the Services at any time without further notice.
