You agree that in no event shall FLO, its affiliates (including its parent company AddÉnergie Technologies INC.) and their employees, officers, directors or representatives (“FLO Representatives”) have any responsibility or liability for any loss or damage whatsoever, including incidental, indirect, punitive, exemplary, consequential or special damages (including but not limited to damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress or similar damages, harm to business or reputation, loss of information, loss of profit, loss of revenue or income, loss of salary or other compensation from employment), arising from or in connection with the use or performance of the Sites or its Content even if FLO or any FLO Representative has been advised of the possibility of such damages or loss or if such damages or loss was foreseeable.

Violation of These Terms of Use

 

FLO may disclose any information we have about you (including your identity) if we determine that such disclosure is necessary in connection with any investigation or complaint regarding your use of the Sites, or to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) FLO’s rights or property, or the rights or property of visitors to or users of the Sites, including our other customers. FLO reserves the right at all times to disclose any information that FLO deems necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.

You also agree that any violation by you of these Terms of Use may constitute an unlawful and unfair business practice, and may cause irreparable harm to FLO, for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and you consent to FLO obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that FLO deems necessary or appropriate in such circumstances. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies FLO may have at law or in equity.

 

If FLO does take any successful legal action against you as a result of your violation of these Terms of Use, FLO will be entitled to recover from you, and you agree to pay, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of such action, in addition to any other relief granted to FLO. You agree that FLO will not be liable to you or to any third party for termination of your access to the Sites for any reason.

 

Void Where Prohibited

 

The information provided on the Sites are not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject FLO to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country.   FLO makes no representation or warranty that any material on the Sites are lawful in every jurisdiction from which such Content can be accessed, or is available for use in all jurisdictions.  If you access or use the Sites from a jurisdiction outside of Canada, you are responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws.

 

Local laws in your respective jurisdiction may require that you be of a certain age in order to enter into certain legally binding arrangements such as the terms of these Terms of Use.  In the event that you are under the required age, you may not continue to use the Sites, unless your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms of Use.  Local laws may also require that children under a certain age are supervised during their use of the Sites.  By access and using the Sites, you warrant that you are old enough to access and use the Sites without supervision.  If you are under the required age, your parent or legal guardian warrants that they are supervising and monitoring your access and use of the Sites at all times.

Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

You and FLO agree to arbitrate all disputes between you and FLO or its affiliates relating to your use of the Site or otherwise arising from these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy and the limited warranty and terms and conditions of sale applicable to FLO’s products, except disputes relating to the enforcement of FLO or its affiliates’ intellectual property rights.  You and FLO empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy and the limited warranty and terms and conditions of sale applicable to FLO’s products, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of these terms are void or voidable.  All disputes shall be settled by binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act.  YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. Arbitration will be administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution Canada in accordance with its Canadian Arbitration Rules. The number of arbitrators will be one and the place of arbitration will be Toronto, Ontario, and the language of the arbitration will be English. Except as may be required by law, neither party nor its representatives may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration related to these Terms, including the content of any documents exchanged within the arbitration proceedings, without the prior written consent of the other party.

 

PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.  Neither you nor FLO will seek to have a dispute heard as a class action, private attorney general action, or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity.  No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration or proceeding.  If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration.

 

You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to the Site, these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy and limited warranty and terms and conditions of sale applicable to FLO’s products that is not subject to arbitration shall be filed, and that venue properly lies, only in the state or federal courts located in Toronto, Ontario, and you consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating such action.

Complaints, Notices and Contact Information

 

FLO takes claims of infringement of intellectual property rights, defamation and violation of rights of privacy or publicity very seriously.  If you believe that any of the material that is or was on the Sites infringes or has infringed any rights, including copyrights or trademarks, owned by you, or by an owner for which you are authorized to act, please contact us at webmaster@flo.com.

 

General Provisions

 

If any provision of these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy and/or terms and conditions of sale (if applicable) is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severable to these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy and/or terms and conditions of sale and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions which will remain in full force and effect. The Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy and/or terms and conditions of sale (if applicable) constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter.  Each party acknowledges that, in entering into these Terms of Use it has not relied on, and (in the absence of fraud) shall have no right or remedy in respect of, any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made negligently or innocently) other than as expressly set out in these Terms of Use.  Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall exclude or restrict the liability of you arising out of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.  Any waiver of any provision of the Terms of Use will be effective only if in writing and signed by FLO.  The failure of party to assert any right under these Terms of Use shall not be considered a waiver of that party’s right will remain in full force and effect. You are not allowed to assign these Terms of Use or any rights hereunder.  FLO is allowed at its sole discretion to assign these Terms of Use or any rights hereunder to any third party, without giving prior notice to you.
