Konnected Workplace Wellness Inc. Website Terms of Use

(Last updated December 2020)

 

Welcome to konnected.ca (the “Site”). These are the Konnected Workplace Wellness Inc. (“Konnected” or “we”, “our, or “us”) terms and conditions, which are applicable to the use of and access to the Site by you (“End User” or “you”) (hereinafter, the “Agreement” or “Terms of Use”). These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of konnected.ca and any websites that link to these Terms.

 

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS OF USE

This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to the use of the Site by the End User. By visiting the Site, End User agrees to comply with all of the terms and conditions hereof.

 

GENERAL

As a part of and through the Site, Konnected and its respective affiliates, contractors, agents, consultants, or other third parties (the “Konnected Group”) provides an interactive online service on the Internet, consisting of information and content provided by the Konnected Group.  The right to use the Site is personal to End User, and is not transferable unless authorized in writing by Konnected. End User shall be responsible for protecting the confidentiality of End User’s password(s), if any. End User acknowledges that, although the Internet is often a secure environment, sometimes there are interruptions in service or events that are beyond the control of Konnected, and the Konnected Group shall not be responsible or liable for an End User’s use of the Site or loss of data while transmitting information on the Site.

 

End User acknowledges that the Site may be unavailable from time to time for any reason including, without limitation, routine maintenance. You understand and acknowledge that the Site may be interrupted, suspended, or terminated from time to time.

 

Konnected shall have the right at any time to change or discontinue any aspect or feature of the Site.

 

Your use of the Site is solely at your own risk and subject to all applicable laws and regulations. The Konnected Group will be not be liable for any loss resulting from a cause over which it does not have direct control, including but not limited to failure of electronic or mechanical equipment or communication lines, telephone or other interconnect problems, computer viruses, unauthorized access, theft, operator errors, severe weather, earthquakes, natural disasters, strikes or other labor problems, wars, or governmental restrictions.

 

By using the Site, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, please refrain from using the Site and exit immediately.

 

PRIVACY

Your privacy is important to us, and we will protect it. We will not share your personal information with anyone other than in accordance with these Terms of Use, and our Privacy Policy, which are found on the Site.

 

End User acknowledges that all discussion for ratings, comments, bulletin board service, chat rooms, and/or other message or communication facilities (collectively, “Group(s)”) are public and not private communications, and that, therefore, others may read End User’s communications without End User’s knowledge. The Konnected Group does not control or endorse the content, messages, or information found in any Group, and, therefore, the Konnected Group specifically disclaims any liability concerning the Groups and any actions resulting from End Users participation in any Group, including any objectionable content. Generally, any communication which End User posts to any part of the Site (whether in chat rooms, discussion groups, message boards, or otherwise) is considered to be non-confidential. If particular web site pages permit the submission of communications that will be treated by any of the Konnected Group as confidential, that fact will be stated on those pages. By posting comments, messages, or other information on the Site, End User grants each of the Konnected Group the right to use such comments, messages, or information for promotions, advertising, market research, or any other lawful purpose. For more information, see our Privacy Policy.

 

MODIFIED TERMS

Konnected reserves the right at all times to discontinue or modify any of these Terms of Use as it deems necessary or desirable without prior notification to you. Konnected suggests to you, therefore, that you re-read these Terms of Use from time to time in order that you stay informed as to any such changes. Any modifications to these Terms of Use shall be effective immediately upon Konnected’s posting thereof. Any use of the Site by End User after such notice shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by End User of such modifications.

 

APPLICABLE LAW AND VENUE

You and Konnected explicitly agree that all disputes, claims or other matters arising from or relating to your use of the Site relating to Konnected or the Konnected Group will be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

Except where prohibited by applicable law, you waive any right you may have to commence or participate in any class action against Konnected or the Konnected Group related to any Claim and, where applicable, you also agree to opt out of any class proceedings against Konnected or the Konnected Group.

To the extent arbitration as described in the immediately preceding paragraph is prohibited by applicable law, you agree that all Claims will be heard and resolved in a court of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in Toronto, Ontario. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts over you, stipulate to the fairness and convenience of proceeding in such courts, and covenant not to assert any objection to proceeding in such courts.


If you choose to access the Site from locations other than Ontario, you will be responsible for compliance with all local laws of such other jurisdiction and you agree to indemnify Konnected for your failure to comply with any such laws.
