Please see below:
The section titles in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The preamble together with all sections contained herein shall be deemed to form an integral part of these Terms of Use. The word “including” or any variation thereof means “including without limitation” and shall not be construed to limit any statement or enumeration that it follows.
Hivestack’s Corporate Privacy Policy applies to the use of this Website, and its terms are made a part of these Terms of Use by this reference. By using the Website, you acknowledge and agree that Internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. You understand that any message or information you send to the Website may be read or intercepted by others, even if there is a special notice that a particular transmission is encrypted.
These Terms of Use (including our Corporate Privacy Policy), as amended from time to time, represent the entire agreement between you and Hivestack relating to the subject matter herein, and supersede all prior communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written between you and us with respect to the Website. You acknowledge that separate terms and conditions and policies (including the applicable Platform Terms of Use and Platform Privacy Policy << Link >>) may apply to products or services offered on the Website and, accordingly and where applicable, you agree to abide by such other terms and conditions and policies with respect to such products and/or services. These Terms of Use shall not be interpreted or construed to confer any rights or remedies on any third parties. In no event are you permitted to change, supplement, or amend these Terms of Use without our prior written agreement.
If any term or provision of these Terms of Use or the application thereof shall be determined invalid or unenforceable, such term or provision shall be severed from the Terms of Use and the remainder of the Terms of Use shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Hivestack’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use shall not constitute a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other provision of the Terms of Use.
The provisions of these Terms of Use shall ensure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of Hivestack and its affiliates and you, each of our and your respective successors and permitted assigns, which, in your case, include your heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and personal representatives (and those of any person you represent).
In no event shall you assign, subcontract, sublicense or otherwise transfer any of your rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent, which consent may be withheld at our sole discretion. We may freely assign or delegate all rights and obligations under these Terms of Use.
Your status under these Terms of Use is that of an independent contractor, and you and Hivestack agree that no partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship exists between you and Hivestack.
Neither you nor Hivestack will be liable for any breach of these Terms of Use to the extent that such breach is caused by a Force Majeure. A “Force Majeure” means an event that is beyond the reasonable control of either you or Hivestack including an act of war, hostility, or sabotage; act of God; pandemic; electrical, internet, or telecommunication outage that is not caused by the obligated party; government restrictions (including the denial or cancellation of any export, import or other licence).
These Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the laws of Canada applicable therein, without reference to its conflict of laws provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the Website (including its Corporate Privacy Policy) or these Terms of Use shall be subject to the courts of the Province of Quebec, district of Montreal, and you hereby irrevocably submit and consent to the original and exclusive jurisdiction of those courts in respect of all disputes. Where permitted by applicable law, any claim under these Terms of Use must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO:
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING TO ITS SUBJECT MATTERS, IF ANY; AND
BRING ANY CLASS ACTION AGAINST ANY OF THE HIVESTACK PARTIES AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION. UNLESS YOU AND HIVESTACK BOTH AGREE OTHERWISE, NO ARBITRATOR OR JUDGE SHALL CONSOLIDATE more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Any terms or conditions of these Terms of Use which by their nature extend beyond the termination set forth in Section 10 (Termination) of these Terms of Use shall survive the termination.
In the event of a conflict between the English version of these Terms of Use and a version in another language, the English version shall prevail.
