You hereby acknowledge and agree as follows:

1. The "Information" shall mean all areas and any subscription or any other software, service, data or information provided by or obtained through the interactive online service operated by the Operators at the Website. The Operators have entered into contractual relationships with certain businesses, vendors, and other third parties (the "Vendors"), whereby the Operators may link or display on the Website information, advertisements, articles, discounts, products, goods, or services offered by the Vendors.  The Operators may also allow other third parties to submit and post advertisements, articles, offers and other information on the Website. The Operators shall not be held liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage caused by your use of any external site, information supplied by the Vendors and/or other third parties, or products and services supplied by Vendors and/or other third parties. Statements made on the Website, concerning the services available on the Website do not constitute an offer, but are merely solicitations of an offer.

2. The Website may include facts, views, opinions and recommendations of individuals and organizations which are not affiliated with the Operators or the Website. The Operators do not guarantee or warrant the availability, accuracy, completeness, timeliness or otherwise endorse any of these views, opinions or recommendations. The Website may point or link to other sites (the "Linked Sites") located on services maintained by third parties for which the Operators have no responsibility. These Linked Sites include, but are not limited to, sites found on the Website under the term "Online Associates". The Linked Sites are for your convenience only and you access them at your own risk. The Operators provide no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or any other aspect of the information contained on the Linked Sites. The Internet is a global network of computers that you use at your own risk. Certain sites on the Internet carry controversial, sexually explicit or other inappropriate materials. Neither the Operators, nor its Information providers control or censor the Internet.

3. Where the Operators permit you, without payment to the Operators, to exchange your website link with that of the Operators' Website (the "Link Exchange"), you acknowledge and agree that the Operators reserve the right to remove your website link, without notice to you, at their sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever. Further, you acknowledge and agree that such Link Exchange does not create nor represent any contractual or legal relationship or obligations between you and the Operators and is strictly for the purpose of exchanging website links between your business or organization and that of the Operators. You further acknowledge and agree that the Operators do not make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the Link Exchange.

4. The Website may permit you to order and receive products, information and services from businesses or individuals that are not owned, controlled or operated by the Operators. The transaction, purchase, payment, warranty, guarantee, delivery, maintenance and all other matters concerning the merchandise, services or information ordered or received from such businesses or individuals are solely between you and such business or individual and/or third party. The Operators do not endorse, warrant, or guarantee such products, information or services and are not liable for the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of such information, opinion or advice or the quality or availability of such products or services. The Operators will not be a party to or in any way be responsible for monitoring or enforcing any transaction between you and third party providers involving any products, services or information. Any separate charges, costs or obligations you incur in your dealings with these third parties are your responsibility and are not part of the services provided on the Website by the Operators. The services and Information offered on the Website shall not impose any liability or responsibility on the Operators to act on behalf of any Website user or visitor against any of the Vendors or other third parties whose services, products or other information is accessed through the Website.  Any and all transactions between you and the Vendors whose services, products, or other information are posted on the Website are strictly between you and that Vendor only.

5. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all content on the Website including, without limitation, text, images, databases, and source code (the "Content"), are the exclusive property of the Operators and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as transferring or assigning any such ownership rights to you or any other person or entity.

12. The Operators are very respectful about the privacy concerns of the visitors to their Website on the Internet. As a general policy, no personal information is automatically collected from visitors to the Website. However, certain non-personal information of visitors may be recorded by the standard operation of the Website's server. This information is primarily used to provide enhanced online experience for the visitor. The information tracked includes the type of browser being used by the visitor, the type of operating system in use by the visitor and the domain name of the visitor's Internet service provider. By having this information, web pages optimized for a particular visitor's computer are automatically available to that visitor. Other uses of this information include internal review of the number of visitors to the Website but only in an aggregate and non-personally identifiable form. E-mail addresses and other personally identifiable data about visitors to the Website are known to the Operators only when voluntarily submitted. Personally identifiable information that may be collected in connection with visitors voluntarily subscribing to newsletters is retained by the Operators and not sold or otherwise transferred to third parties. This information is used to better understand visitors' use of the Website and to support transactions made on the Website. However, this data in aggregate form may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising or other uses. The Operators may sometimes also use e-mail addresses and other personally identifiable information to contact visitors who communicate with them. For example, the Operators may direct e-mail to visitors who provide them with e-mail addresses for specific purposes such as receiving Website related e-mail newsletters. Each e-mail newsletter shall contain instructions on how to discontinue receipt of the newsletter.

13. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of British Columbia. Any claims or causes of action arising from or relating to your access and use of the Website contemplated under this Agreement must be instituted within two (2) years from the date upon which such claim or cause arose or was accrued. Further, any such claim or cause of action shall only be brought in the courts of the province of British Columbia, and you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

14. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful or unenforceable in any respect, the court shall reform such provision so as to render it enforceable, or, if it is not possible to reform such provision so as to make it enforceable, then delete such provision. As so reformed or modified, the court shall fully enforce this Agreement.

15. The Operators may revise these terms of use for the Website at any time without notice. By using the Website you are agreeing to be bound by the then current version of these Terms of Use.

16. THIS AGREEMENT IS COMPLETE AND EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME YOU AGREE TO IT BY ACCESSING THE WEBSITE OR REQUESTING SERVICES THROUGH THE WEBSITE, AND THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND NO OTHER AGREEMENT, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXISTS BETWEEN YOU AND THE OPERATORS.
