16) Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • Exclusion of damages. Benton and its directors, officers, employees, consultants, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or enhanced damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to the Site or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
  • Cap. Our aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Site or these Terms will not exceed CAD $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers or limits; in such cases, the above will apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

17) Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Benton and our directors, officers, employees, consultants, and agents from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, or your violation of any law or third-party rights.

18) Termination and suspension

We may, at any time and without notice, modify, suspend, or terminate the Site (in whole or part) or your access to it for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Site ceases immediately, but provisions that by their nature should survive (e.g., IP, disclaimers, limits of liability, indemnity, governing law) will survive.

19) Governing law and venue

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Site are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario, and venue is appropriate in Thunder Bay, Ontario, unless another Ontario venue is required by applicable law.

20) Compliance; export; sanctions

You are responsible for complying with all laws applicable to your access to and use of the Site, including export control and sanctions laws. You represent that you are not subject to any applicable sanctions or located in a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions.

22) Miscellaneous
  • Entire agreement. These Terms (and the policies referenced in Section 4) constitute the entire agreement between you and Benton regarding the Site and supersede prior understandings regarding the Site.
  • Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect.
