Payment terms, including due dates and any applicable late payment charges, will be set out in the relevant agreement. You agree to pay all undisputed invoices in accordance with those terms. If a dispute arises regarding an invoice, you must notify us in writing within a reasonable time so that we can address the matter promptly.
Where we incur reasonable out of pocket expenses in performing the services, such as travel or third party licensing costs, those expenses may be billed separately or included in the applicable agreement. We will seek to obtain your approval before incurring significant expenses that were not previously agreed.
If you believe an invoice contains an error, please notify us in writing as soon as reasonably possible so that we can review the charges together. We value clear and honest billing, and we will work with you to correct any genuine mistake in a fair and timely manner.
In the course of providing services, we may recommend, integrate, or configure third party products and services, such as cloud platforms, software applications, or hosting providers. Those third party services are provided under their own terms and conditions, and we are not responsible for their performance, availability, or content.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company and its directors, officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the website or services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the website, or the services, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, will not exceed the greater of the fees actually paid by you for the specific services giving rise to the claim during the twelve months preceding the event, or one hundred Canadian dollars, where no fees were paid.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities, so the limitations above may not apply to you in whole or in part. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, employees, and contractors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to your use of the website or services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the website and services. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you.
In the course of an engagement, each party may disclose confidential information to the other. Confidential information includes non-public business, technical, and financial information that is marked as confidential or that should reasonably be understood to be confidential given the circumstances of disclosure.
Each party agrees to use the other party confidential information only for the purpose of the engagement and to protect it using measures no less protective than those it uses for its own confidential information of similar importance. These obligations do not apply to information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, or that is independently developed without use of the confidential information.
Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from disclosing information where required by law, provided that the disclosing party gives the other party reasonable notice where permitted.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the website or services, in whole or in part, at any time if you breach these Terms or if we reasonably believe that continued access poses a risk to us, to other users, or to the security of our systems. We will provide notice where practical.
You may stop using the website at any time. Termination of a specific engagement will be governed by the terms of the applicable agreement, including any provisions regarding termination for convenience or for cause and the payment of fees for work performed.
Upon termination, any provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive will continue to apply, including provisions relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law.
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, our business practices, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes may be highlighted with a more prominent notice on the website.

The parties will use good faith efforts to resolve any dispute through informal negotiation before pursuing other remedies. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, the parties agree to submit the matter to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, subject to any mandatory arbitration or mediation requirements set out in a separate agreement.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of that provision or of our right to enforce it at a later time. A waiver of any breach will not be a waiver of any subsequent breach.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any separate written agreement or statement of work between you and the Company, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding their subject matter and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, whether written or oral.
No modification of these Terms will be effective unless made in writing by an authorized representative of the Company. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, and any attempt to do so will be void.
