Liability
THE WEBSITE AND THE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. USE OF THE WEBSITE OR THE CONTENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. GOHEATHER DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS ABOUT THE QUALITY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENCY, OR TIMELINESS OF THE WEBSITE OR THE CONTENT. GOHEATHER DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ERRORS, OMISSIONS OR INACCURACIES IN THE WEBSITE OR THE CONTENT. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GOHEATHER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE WEBSITE AND THE CONTENT WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OR THAT THE WEBSITE OR THE CONTENT ARE OR WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. IN NO EVENT WILL GOHEATHER LAW BE LIABLE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, PERSONAL INJURY, FINES, FEES, PENALTIES OR OTHER LIABILITIES), WHETHER OR NOT HEATHER IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM THE USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO MAKE USE OF, THE WEBSITE OR THE CONTENT.
If a competent arbitration board or court finds goHeather is liable to you for any reason, goHeather's damages payable to you are strictly limited to the cost of the goHeather Services you paid for only.
Indemnity: You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our personnel, from and against any claims, losses, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to your use of the Services.
Governing Law
These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable laws of Canada and these laws apply to the use of the Website or the Content by you, notwithstanding your domicile, residency or physical location. The Website and the Content are intended for use only in jurisdictions where they may lawfully be offered for use.
Disputes
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to goHeather's Services including any question regarding its existence, interpretation, validity, enforceability, correctness or breach or termination or the business relationship created by it, or any tort or claim shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the rules of Ontario’s Arbitration Act, 1991 unless prohibited by law.
NO CLASS ACTIONS
Disputes must be brought individually only, and may not be brought as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. If, for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim. This does not prevent either party from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
Mass Filings
If, at any time, ten or more similar demands for arbitration are asserted against goHeather or related parties by the same or coordinated lawyers or entities (“Mass Filing”), a competent alternative dispute resolution body will randomly assign sequential numbers to each of the Mass Filings. Claims numbered 1-5 will be the “Initial Test Cases” and will proceed to arbitration first. The arbitrators will render a final award for the Initial Test Cases within 120 days of the initial pre-hearing conference, unless the claims are resolved in advance or the parties agree to extend the deadline. The parties will then have 90 days (the “Mediation Period”) to resolve the remaining cases in mediation based on the awards from the Initial Test Cases.
