In the event of a breach of the confidentiality or security of your personal information, Amintro will notify you as necessary so you can take appropriate protective steps. Unless you indicate otherwise, we may notify you under such circumstances using the email address you most recently provided to us.

Electronic Communications

When you use the Services or send emails to Amintro, you are communicating with us electronically and you consent to receive non-marketing communications from Amintro electronically. We may communicate with you by email or by posting notices on the Site or otherwise through the Services. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Amintro provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Age of Use

The Site and Services are intended for use only by individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age, provided that the Amintro Platform is intended for use only by individuals who are least fifty (50) years of age. If you are not at least eighteen (18) years of age, you are not authorized to use the Site or Services without the permission and supervision of your parent or legal guardian. If you are under the age of majority, you warrant that you have the express permission of your parent or legal guardian to use the Site. If you are a parent or legal guardian and have authorized a minor to use the Site in accordance with these Terms and the Privacy Policy, you agree that you are responsible for the online conduct of the minor, the compliance by the minor with these Terms and for the consequences of any misuse of the Site by the minor.

BUSINESS USER SPECIFIC TERMS

In addition to the provisions set forth in the balance of these Terms, the provisions set forth under the heading “Business User Specific Terms” above apply to all Business Users.

 

Paid Services

Certain Services (“Paid Services”) may require the payment of fees (“Fees”) by Business Users. Applicable Fees are as posted on the Site or Services from time to time or as otherwise directly communicated to a particular Business User prior to their agreement to receive the Paid Services. Any agreement to purchase Paid Services is subject to the terms and conditions posted on the Site or Services with respect to such Paid Services or otherwise communicated by Amintro prior to the purchase of such Paid Services. Unless otherwise posted on the Site or Services, or communicated to you by Amintro, all Paid Services are provided on an annual basis and your agreement to receive such Paid Services will renew on an annual basis unless terminated in accordance with the provisions set forth below.

Business Users may opt to receive the Paid Services on a one-time or on an ongoing basis (a “Subscription”). Paid Services that are purchased on a one-time basis must be paid in full prior to the provisions of such Paid Services. Subscription purchases are payable on a monthly basis and will continue until terminated in accordance with these Terms.

Payment of Fees may be made using third party payment service providers specified by Amintro from time to time, including but not limited to PayPal (“Payment Provider”). Any payments made using a Payment Provider are subject to the terms and conditions of such Payment Provider applicable to such payment and Amintro shall have no liability to you whatsoever for any matter or thing arising out of your use of the Payment Provider. You agree to, at all times during the term of the Paid Services, provide accurate and up-to-date payment information to the Payment Provider. Some Fees are not payable automatically on a recurring basis and are instead payable on the basis of invoices delivered by Amintro to the Business User (“Invoiced Fees”). In the absence of any agreement to the contrary between the Business User and Amintro, such invoices are payable within thirty (30) days of receipt.

In the event that you fail to make any payment for Paid Services as and when due, Amintro retains the right to terminate the License, to revoke your access to all or part of the Site or Services, or to cease providing Services (including, but not limited to the Paid Services), or any combination of the foregoing, all in the discretion of Amintro. Unless otherwise specified, all Fees are final, and will not be refunded for any reason whatsoever. You authorize Amintro to take payment of Fees (other than Invoiced Fees) as and when they are due using the payment information you have provided. Amintro may correct any billing errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. If you initiate a chargeback or otherwise reverse a payment made with the Payment Provider, Amintro may in its discretion terminate your membership, account, and / or access to the Site immediately. If Amintro successfully disputes the reversal, and the reversed funds are returned to Amintro, you are not entitled to a refund or to have your membership account, subscription, or access to the Services reinstated.

 

Any overdue payments shall bear simple interest at a rate of the lesser of: (i) the maximum amount of interest payable under applicable law; and (ii) seven percent (7%) per annum. Interest shall be calculated daily in arrears.

 

User Limits

Your License to use the Site is limited to that number of user accounts as is specified to you prior to the purchase of the Paid Services.

 

Termination of Paid Services

A Business User may terminate its agreement to receive Paid Services (a “Subscription”) by visiting its user dashboard (the “Dashboard”). Within the Dashboard, the Business User has the option to upgrade active Subscriptions or to terminate any active Subscriptions. A Business User may terminate at any time but will in no event be refunded any Fees paid prior to the date of termination.

 

Events on Termination

On termination of a Subscription, all of the Business User’s related information and content (other than Business User Content, as defined below) will be removed from the Site. Amintro may choose to remove related Business User Content in its sole discretion. In the event that a Business User terminates all of its Subscriptions and opts to remove its account from the Site, all Business User information will be removed from the Site (other than Business User Content, which may be used in Amintro’s sole discretion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Amintro will retain any information it is required to retain by law or which it ordinarily retains for its internal business purposes (provided that such information will continue to be subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth herein).

 

Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL AMINTRO’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO A BUSINESS USERS’ USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES, OR ANY JOINT EVENT (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED) WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE TO AMINTRO BY SUCH BUSINESS USER IN CONNECTION WITH ITS USE OF THE SERVICES IN THE ONE (1) YEAR PERIOD PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH SUCH LIABILITY AROSE.

Events

Any Non-Amintro Event that you host, facilitate, organize, or manage in connection with your use of the Site or Services (including the Paid Services) shall be solely your responsibility and Amintro disclaims any and all interest in or liability with respect to such Non-Amintro Event, including, but not limited to, the interaction between the Business User and other users of the Site and the attendance of users of the Site at such Non-Amintro Event.

For certainty, in the event that you and Amintro agree to host a Joint Event, you agree and acknowledge that the provisions regarding “Release and Indemnity”, “Disclaimer of Warranties”, and “Limitation of Liability” set forth above shall apply to the hosting of such Joint Event. You agree that you will comply with all applicable law with respect to the conduct of the Joint Event.

Relationships with Users

You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Site, including, but not limited to, other Business Users. Amintro is not responsible for ensuring any minimum usage of a Business User’s products or services resulting from its purchase of the Paid Services not for ensuring the payment by its customers (whether users of the Site or otherwise) for services or products delivered by a Business User.

Accuracy

You agree that all information provided by you to Amintro or otherwise through the Site or Services with respect to your business, products, and services will be true and not misleading or deceptive in any fashion.

Confidentiality

Amintro agrees not to disclose, divulge, reveal, report or use, for any purpose other than to carry out the intent of this Agreement or the business relationship between Amintro and a Business User, or to comply with any applicable law, any Confidential Information which has been disclosed by a Business User to Amintro, except as authorized by such Business User or as required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Amintro may use Confidential Information for its own internal research and development purposes.

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Survival

Any of these Terms which by its nature should survive termination, including those with respect to Paid Services, Confidentiality, Ownership of Intellectual Property, Release and Indemnity, Disclaimer of Warranties, Use of Feedback, and the Business User Specific Terms shall survive termination and continue in full force and effect except to the extent expressly set out in these Terms.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, then the remaining provisions of these Terms, or the application of such provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each such provision of these Terms shall be valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by law. You agree to negotiate in good faith to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that has the effect nearest to that of the provision being replaced.

Injunctive Relief

Amintro shall have and hereby reserves all rights and remedies which it has, or which are granted to it by operation of law, to enjoin the unlawful or unauthorized use of the Amintro IP or Confidential Information (any of which injunctive relief may be sought in the courts, and also may be sought prior to or in lieu of termination), and to be compensated for damages for breach of this Agreement.

Governing Law and Language

The Site and Services are administered by Amintro from Ontario, Canada. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the services and all of the communications, transmissions and transactions associated with the services and the provision of the Services shall be deemed to have occurred in the Province of Ontario, Canada. You agree that these Terms shall be exclusively governed by, construed, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, and that the law of the Province of Ontario is the proper law, without regard to conflict of laws rules or to private international law principles. The laws of any other jurisdiction shall not apply to these Terms.

Dispute Resolution

The parties agree to resolve any disputes that arise in connection with this Agreement through good faith negotiation. If the parties are unable to resolve any dispute through negotiation within thirty (30) days of one party providing notice of such dispute to the other, the dispute shall be referred to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator pursuant to the provisions of the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario). The arbitrator shall be agreed upon by the parties within twenty (20) days of one party notifying the other party that arbitration is desired. If the parties fail to agree upon a single arbitrator within such twenty (20) day period, then each party shall select an arbitrator and such two arbitrators shall together select an individual who will proceed as a single arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding and not subject to appeal. Arbitration shall be held in the City of Toronto in the Province of Ontario and the language used shall be English.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that arbitration is not possible or is not permitted by applicable law, all disputes, disagreements, controversies, questions or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with or arising from these Terms, including, but not limited to, with respect to the formation, execution, validity, application, interpretation, performance, breach, termination or enforcement of these Terms, will be determined by litigation in the Courts of the Province of Ontario sitting in Toronto, to the exclusive jurisdiction of which you irrevocably attorn. If you live outside of the Province of Ontario, you may also be entitled to the protection of the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your local consumer protection law. However, nothing herein shall be construed as Amintro’s agreement to the application of any such consumer protection laws.

You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed.

Force Majeure.

Amintro shall not be liable for delays in or for failures to perform hereunder due to causes: (i) beyond our reasonable control; (ii) that could not reasonably have been foreseen by Amintro at the time of the effective date of the services; and (iii) the effects of which could not have been commercially reasonably avoided or overcome by Amintro, where such causes include acts of God, acts or omissions of you or a third party, service failures, Internet or telecommunications outages, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, strikes, power surges or power outages, pandemics or epidemics, public health emergencies, climate change, flood, earthquakes, riot, or war.

Miscellaneous

No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of the Terms, and you have no authority of any kind to bind Amintro in any respect whatsoever. The failure of any party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. Amintro shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder, where such failure results from any cause beyond Amintro’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation (including “line-noise” interference). Amintro may transfer, assign, or delegate the Terms and its rights and obligations without consent.

Assignment

These Terms are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable, or sublicensable by you except with Amintro’s prior written consent. Amintro may assign, transfer, or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without your consent.

Interpretation

In these Terms: (a) words denoting the singular include the plural and vice versa; (b) all usage of the word “including” means “including, without limitation,” throughout these Terms; (c) all dollar amounts, if any, are expressed in Canadian currency unless expressly provided otherwise; (d) the division of these Terms into separate sections, subsections and the insertion of headings is for convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of these Terms; (e) words or abbreviations which have well-known or trade meanings are used herein in accordance with their recognized meanings; and (f) you and Amintro agree that these Terms shall not be construed in favour of or against any party by reason of the extent to which any party or its professional advisors participated in the preparation of these Terms.

 

Waiver

No delay or omission by Amintro to exercise any right or power it has under these Terms or to object to the failure of any covenant of you to be performed in a timely and complete manner, shall impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or any other covenant. Any waivers by Amintro must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Amintro.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any applicable agreements or documents incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Amintro as it relates to the access to, and use of, the Services and the subject matter of these Terms, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, proof of concepts, understandings, letters of intent, representations, negotiations, and discussions, whether written or oral, between Amintro and you.
