9. Disputes
If you have an issue or concern, please let us know and hopefully we can resolve your issue. But if we can’t, then these rules will govern any legal dispute involving our Services:
A. The Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the province of Ontario, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and the laws of Canada.
B. You agree that any dispute or claim arising from or relating to our Terms of use shall be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language. Arbitration, including threshold questions of the dispute, will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction.
The Parties agree to enter into mediation to settle a good faith dispute. To initiate the mediation a party must give notice in writing to the other party to the dispute, referring the dispute to mediation.
Any arbitration or mediation under the Terms of Use will take place on an individual basis. You understand that by agreeing to the Terms of Use, you are waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action lawsuit. Class arbitrations shall only be available if requested by either party under its Class Action Arbitration Rules and approved by the arbitration entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator or mediator. You may instead assert your claim in “small claims” court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court.
C. Payment for any and all reasonable filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules.
10. Changes to the Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we believe that the changes are material, we’ll definitely let you know by posting the changes through our website or sending you an email or message about the changes. That way you can decide whether you want to continue using the Services. Changes will be effective upon the posting of the changes unless otherwise specified. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any changes. Your use of the Services following the changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
