terms of use in force at the time each respective transaction is made.
Dissolution of contract
Either party may at any time end the contract.
The user may end the contract by requesting that Wild North remove his personal
details. The surrendering of the right to use the Service does not free the

transactions to which he contractually bound himself before surrendering his
user rights. Wild North retains at all times the right if it so wish to
discontinue the Service either entirely or in part. In this event Wild North
will inform its users of the discontinuation of the Service beforehand via the
