All Users: Consent To Electronic Transactions And Disclosures

Because Worthy operates only on the Internet, it is necessary for you to consent to transact business with us online and electronically. As part of doing business with us and our affiliates ("Our Affiliates"), therefore, we also need you to consent to our providing certain disclosures electronically, either via our Site or to the email address you gave to us.
