    • Anyone who places an order on Waterman's Loft can check out as a guest customer.  At the point of order submission, each guest customer will get the option to “Convert to Account” each time.  Even though guest customers may never choose to officially create an account with Waterman's Loft, all of the guest orders placed are assigned an account number in the database of our website.  Guest orders placed using the same email address are actually assigned to the same account number in the database of our website. We do this so that all guest’s orders placed can be kept together in our system, in the event a guest customer ever wanted to convert their guest account to a customer account.  Assigning an account number to every customer is also required by the integration we utilize that keeps data synchronized between our website and our internal IT systems.

If any provision or sections of these terms is found to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the intent of the parties, and the remaining provisions or section remain in full force and effect.
