1. Introduction
The following sets out the terms and conditions of use (the “Terms of Use”) that apply to the use of the Websites (as herein defined) of [HEAL Group] and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “HEAL Group”, or “we”, or “us”, or “our”). For the purposes of these Terms of Use, the term “Websites” shall refer collectively to [www.healgroup.ca] as well as the other websites that HEAL Group operates and that link to these Terms of Use.
These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement between you and us regarding your use of and access to the Websites. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, BY ACCESSING OR USING THE WEBSITES, YOU INDICATE THAT YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF USE. If you do not agree to the Terms of Use, in whole or in part, then you do not have the right to access or use the Websites. If the Terms of Use are being entered into by a corporation or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to enter into the Terms of Use to bind such entity and its affiliates to the Terms of Use as its authorized representative, in which case the terms “you” or “your” refer to such entity and its affiliates as well as you.
The purpose of the Websites is to provide information, products, and services relating to the HEAL Group’s mission, approach and initiatives. We intend for the Websites to be used by both providers and individuals seeking access to various health resources. Depending on which of these categories you fall into, your rights and obligations may vary hereunder. The Websites are not intended for use by minors (being individuals who are not of legal age in the jurisdiction in which they reside). If you are a minor, you should only use the Websites with the permission and under the supervision of a parent or guardian.
The contents of the Websites include, without limitation, all information, data, products, materials, services, software applications and tools, design elements, text, images, photographs, illustrations, audio and video contents, artwork, graphics contained therein or otherwise made available to you in connection therewith (collectively the “Contents”) and, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, or we explicitly say so in writing, the term Websites includes all of the Contents.
These Terms of Use do not alter in any way the terms and conditions of any other agreement you may have with us (including without limitation any agreement related to subscription for products or services), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us. If you breach any of these Terms of Use, your authorization to use the Websites automatically terminates and you must immediately destroy any Contents in your possession and discontinue all use of the Websites.
