Open Source. The Platform may contain certain open-source software. Each item of open-source software is subject to its own applicable license terms.

Term and Termination. This agreement shall remain in effect until terminated. Either party may terminate this agreement at any time without cause, by providing written notice to the other party.

No Waiver. No failure by us to insist upon or enforce any provision of these Terms shall be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.

Security.  It is your responsibility to configure your technology to access the Platform in accordance with these Terms, including, without limitation, using appropriate virus protections software.

Severability. If any court of law having jurisdiction rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of these Terms, and the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.

Applicable Law. You agree that the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada govern any use of the Platform, without regard to rules relating to conflict of laws. The courts of the Province of Ontario shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all claims, and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods shall not apply.

ARBITRATION AND CLASSACTION WAIVER. Please review this section carefully as it contains an arbitration agreement and an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). If you disagree with this arbitration agreement, you may opt out of the arbitration agreement by following the opt out procedure described below.

Informal Process First: If there is any dispute between you and us, you agree to contact us and make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including any court action.

Arbitration Agreement: Should the informal resolution process not resolve the dispute in whole or in part, any remaining dispute (hereinafter referred to as a “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of the Platform, or relating in any way to the communications between you and us or to the purchase of products or services from us, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. This mandatory arbitration agreement applies equally to you and us. However, this arbitration agreement does not govern any Claim by us for infringement of our intellectual property or access to the Platform that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms or bars you from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases. If you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of the first date you accessed or used the Platform by following the procedure described below.

You agree that the Ontario Arbitration Act (the “Act”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and us are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms.

If you wish to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, you must send a letter requesting arbitration to our address posted on our website.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration rules as set out in the Act.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class Action Waiver” section below.

If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with us and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending us an email within thirty (30) days of the first date you accessed or used the Platform.

Class Action Waiver. Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiffs, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”).The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action or make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this class action waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration.

If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and us each waive any right to a jury trial.
