3. Intellectual property

All content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, the eye mark, layout, design, and code, and the name theoperator.ca, is owned by The Operator or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, translate, create derivative works from, or otherwise use any part of the Site without our prior written consent. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Any trademarks, names, or logos of third parties remain the property of their respective owners.

4. Copyright and takedown

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright or other rights, please email [email protected] with enough detail to identify the material and your claim, and we will review it.

5. Your submissions

If you send us information through the Site or by email, we handle it as described in our Privacy Policy, and you grant us permission to use it as needed to respond to you. Please do not send confidential or unsolicited proprietary ideas, and do not submit content you do not have the right to share.

6. Third-party links and services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services that we do not control. We provide them for convenience only, we do not endorse them, and we are not responsible for their content, products, or practices. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk and subject to its terms.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Site will be accurate, complete, reliable, uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors or harmful components, or that any defect will be corrected. You use the Site at your own risk.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Operator and anyone associated with it will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, revenue, profits, goodwill, or business, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Site, whether based in contract, tort, or any other theory, even if advised of the possibility. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us, if any, to use the Site.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Operator from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use of the Site or your breach of these Terms or of any law or the rights of a third party.

10. Availability and changes

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they were last revised, and your continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the courts located in Alberta, Canada have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute relating to the Site or these Terms.

12. General

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site.
