(a) These Terms of Service will govern any orders you make through the Site (each, an “Order”) for the selected Products and Services. Certain Products and Services are available for purchase on a subscription basis only, as set out on the Site, whereby Openroom will provide User access to such Products and Services for a 30-day period (such subscription, a “Subscription” and such 30-day period, the “Initial Subscription Term”). Your purchase of an Order through the Site is an offer to purchase certain Products and Services and we may accept your Order by providing an electronic or other form of Order confirmation. For any reason, we may decline to accept your Order or any part of your Order. If we decline to accept your Order, we will attempt to notify you at the email address you provided. For Subscriptions, following the Initial Subscription Term, the Subscription will automatically renew for successive 30-day periods (each a “Renewal Subscription Term” and together with the Initial Subscription Term, the “Subscription Term”) and you will be charged a monthly payment in the amount set out on the Site for each Renewal Subscription Term until you cancel. You must authorize Openroom to charge your account at the start of the Initial Subscription Term and every 30 days from then until you cancel the Subscription. A cancellation will be effective on the next renewal date of your Subscription.
(b) To pay for an Order, you will need to provide us or, if applicable, a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) with the information necessary to process each monthly payment from you, including the billing information requested on the Site or the applicable Payment Processor’s platform. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor, if any, in addition to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for any error by, or other acts or omissions of, any Payment Processor. You may pay for your Order via credit card or any other manner then available on the Site or on the applicable Payment Processor’s platform. By submitting your payment information to us or the Payment Processor, you authorize us or the Payment Processor to charge the applicable payment method at our or their convenience and in the case of a Subscription, on a monthly basis for each Subscription Term. You represent and warrant that you will not use any credit card or other method of payment unless you have all necessary authorization to do so. We and any Payment Processor are not liable in the event persons acting with or without your permission use your credit card or other method of payment to make purchases on the Site or the Payment Processor’s platform; however you may report any unauthorized use to us or the Payment Processor, and we and the Payment Processor will use reasonable measures within our control to help prevent future unauthorized use of your credit card or other method of payment. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that any Payment Processor makes even if it has already requested or received payment. The terms of your payment will be based on your chosen payment provider and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen payment method. If we, either through the Payment Processor or otherwise, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your billing account upon demand. For a Subscription, you must ensure that your payment details are true, accurate, current, and complete at all times. You must promptly update your payment details to reflect any changes, including a change in billing address, credit card number or credit card expiration date. You must promptly notify us and the Payment Processor if your payment method is cancelled for any reason or if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of your login credentials, user name or password for your User Account.

YOU AGREE THAT THE PROVISIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT, THE TERMS OF SERVICE OR YOUR ACCESS TO THE SITE.
These Terms of Service will commence on the day you first use the Site and will continue for as long as you use the Site or until terminated in accordance with the provisions of these Terms of Service (the “Term”). At any time, we may: (a) suspend or terminate your rights to access or use the Site; or (b) terminate these Terms of Service for any reason without cause. You may terminate these Terms of Service at any time and with immediate effect by ceasing use of the Site and deleting any User Account. For greater certainty, if you continue to use any portion of the Site after these Terms of Service have been terminated, these Terms of Service will continue to apply to the extent of such use. In the event of termination, you are no longer authorized to access the benefits of the Site. Except where prohibited by applicable law, in the event you terminate these Terms of Service during a Subscription Term, you will not be reimbursed for any prepaid fees in connection with the terminated Subscription.
We make no representation, warranty or guarantee that the Site is or will be available for use in all locations outside Canada or all locations within Canada. We provide the Site for use only by persons located in Canada (other than Quebec). This Site is not intended for use in any jurisdiction where its use is not permitted. If you access the Site from outside Canada or from Quebec, you do so at your own risk and you are responsible for compliance with local laws of your jurisdiction.
(a) Except as restricted by applicable law, these Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law and such laws apply to your access to or use of the Site, notwithstanding your domicile, residency or physical location. You will only use the Site in jurisdictions where the Site may lawfully be used. Except as restricted by applicable law, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in Toronto, Ontario in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Site. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to these Terms of Service. This choice of jurisdiction does not prevent us from seeking injunctive relief with respect to a violation of intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations in any appropriate jurisdiction.
(b) These Terms of Service, including all terms and conditions incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and us pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and us with respect to the Site and the Products and Services.

(d) Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Service will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. A waiver of any provision of these Terms of Service must be in writing and a waiver in one instance will not preclude enforcement of such provision on other occasions.
(e) If any of the provisions contained in these Terms of Service are determined to be void, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be severed from these Terms of Service and all other provisions of these Terms of Service will remain in full force and effect.
