World Institute of Scientology Enterprises (“WISE”) is a growing global membership of like-minded business owners, executives, trainers and consultants all united with the purpose to bring about a saner, more ethical, more pro-survival and productive and flourishing world through the dissemination and use of the Hubbard^® Administrative Technology.

Your membership fees support that cause, and the benefits you receive are intended to help YOU achieve that same result with your enterprise.

Because we don’t know every one of our members personally, we have to put in writing some Restrictions of Use for our websites and benefits to help keep understanding at its highest.

With that purpose in mind, there are a few things you should know about what we allow, and what we don’t allow with regard to our websites and our membership.

Policy:

When we say “WISE”, “we”, “our”, or “us” in this document, we are referring to WISE International.

When we say “Service” or “Services”, we mean the WISE websites at www.WISE.org and any digital tools or applications embedded in the platforms, and any and all other benefits of WISE membership as listed at www.wise.org/benefitsand in the WISE Membership Agreement.

By using our websites (“Services”), you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Restricted Use Policy”).
