Each of these individuals or entities shall have the right to assert and enforce these Terms directly against you on its or their own behalf.
JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES: Unless otherwise specified, the content contained in this Website is presented solely for your convenience and/or information. This Website is controlled and operated by Ofak Services from its offices within Calgary, AB. Ofak Services makes no representation that the content on its Website is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who choose to access this Website from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. You may not use or export the materials on this Website in violation of Canadian export laws and regulations. These Terms shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the province of Alberta, Canada, as they are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within such province.
WEBSITE DISPUTES: Website Disputes include: (a) any claim you may have against Ofak Services in connection with the Website, (b) any claim Ofak Services may have against you in connection with the Website, and (c) any action to enforce the Terms or to object to the Terms. All other disputes are Non-Website Disputes. Any claim arising from your purchase of a Ofak Services Product or Service is a Non-Website Dispute. Any claim arising from the content of any offer or advertisement on the Website is a Non-Website Dispute.
WEBSITE DISPUTE RESOLUTION – PRE-DISPUTE RESOLUTION: Before initiating any lawsuit in connection with any Website Dispute (including, but not limited to, in an individual arbitration or in a small claims proceeding), you and Ofak Services agree to give the other party written notice of the claim 30 days before initiating a proceeding. You agree to make a reasonable, good faith effort to resolve the claim during this time. If you intend to assert a claim against Ofak Services, you must send the written notice of the claim to Ofak Services, [address], Attn: Legal Department. If Ofak Services intends to assert a claim against you, a written notice of the claim will be sent to your address as it appears in our records. NO SETTLEMENT DEMAND OR SETTLEMENT OFFER USED IN THIS PRE-DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS MAY BE USED IN ANY PROCEEDING, INCLUDING AS EVIDENCE OR AS AN ADMISSION OF ANY LIABILITY OR DAMAGES (OR LACK THEREOF).
WEBSITE DISPUTE RESOLUTION – VENUE: You agree to be subject to the jurisdiction of Alberta for any Website Dispute. You agree that any Website Dispute will be resolved in Alberta to the exclusion of any other potential venue.
WEBSITE DISPUTE RESOLUTION – ARBITRATION, JURY TRIAL WAIVER: Neither you nor Ofak Services will be able to sue in court in connection with a Website Dispute. All Website Disputes must be resolved through individual (non-class) arbitration. By continuing to use the Website after having the opportunity to review these Terms, you indicate your acceptance of these Terms, including this agreement to arbitrate. You and Ofak Services intend for this to be an agreement for arbitration that can be enforced under both Canadian and provincial arbitration laws. You and Ofak Services waive any rights to maintain other available resolution processes for Website Disputes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle disputes. You and Ofak Services waive any right to a jury trial for Website Disputes. Instead of suing in court, we each agree to settle Website Disputes only by arbitration. The rules in arbitration are different. There’s no judge or jury, and review is limited, but an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief and must honor the same limitations stated in the agreement as a court would. Any Website Dispute shall be determined by arbitration in Alberta before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by [Arbitration Administration] pursuant to their rules. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. If, for any reason, [Arbitration Administration] cannot or will not provide this arbitration, the parties may ask any court of competent jurisdiction to select an arbitrator from a list provided by the parties. If you are an individual and (1) your claim is less than $10,000, and (2) you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Ofak Services will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation.
WEBSITE DISPUTE RESOLUTION – NO CLASS ACTIONS: You agree that you will not file a class action against Ofak Services or its Providers, or participate in a class action against Ofak Services or its Providers, in any Website Dispute. You agree that you will not file or seek a class arbitration, or participate in a class arbitration against Ofak Services or its Providers, in any Website Dispute.
SEVERANCE OF INVALID TERMS: If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the class action waiver of these Terms is deemed unenforceable, the agreement of the parties to engage in arbitration shall likewise be deemed stricken.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT: The provisions and conditions of these Terms, along with any obligations referenced herein, represent the entire agreement between Ofak Services and you regarding your use of this free Website, its affiliated or related entities, and you. These Terms supersede any prior agreements or understandings not incorporated herein. In the event that any inconsistencies exist between these Terms and any future published terms of use or understanding, the last published Terms or terms of use or understanding shall prevail.
ANY RIGHTS NOT EXPRESSLY GRANTED HEREIN ARE RESERVED BY OFAK SERVICES.
