You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification or termination of the Services, or suspension or termination of your access to the Services.
These Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and the Merchant Agreement incorporated by reference herein comprise the entire understanding and agreement between you and Owl-Pay as to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of any kind (including without limitation any prior versions of these Terms of Use), and every nature between and among you and Owl-Pay. Section headings in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and shall not govern the meaning or interpretation of any provision of these Terms of Use.
You may not assign any rights and/or licenses granted under these Terms of Use.

This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
If you have a dispute with Owl-Pay arising under these Terms of Use, we will attempt to resolve such dispute through our support team. If we cannot resolve the dispute through our support team within 30 days of your notice to Owl-Pay regarding the dispute, then the determination of the dispute shall be settled solely and exclusively by final and conclusive binding arbitration in the City of Toronto, Province of Ontario, administered by JAMS. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then prevailing JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules &Procedures, with the following exceptions to such rules if in conflict: (a) one arbitrator shall be chosen by JAMS; (b) each party to the arbitration will pay an equal share of the expenses and fees of the arbitrator, together with other expenses of the arbitration incurred or approved by the arbitrator; (c) each party shall be entitled to participate in the arbitration by video conference or teleconference; and (d) arbitration may proceed in the absence of any party if written notice (pursuant to the JAMS’ rules and regulations) of the proceedings has been given to such party.
Where applicable, both you and Owl-Pay agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class or collective basis on behalf of others. Where applicable, there will be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class or collective action, or as a member in any such class or collective proceeding (the “Class Action Waiver”).Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Use or the applicable arbitration rules, where applicable, disputes regarding the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity or breach of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class or collective action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class or collective action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration. You and Owl-Pay agree that you will not be retaliated against, disciplined or threatened with discipline as a result of your filing or participating in a class or collective action in any forum. However, we may lawfully seek enforcement of the arbitration clause set out above and the Class Action Waiver under the applicable law and seek dismissal of such class or collective actions or claims.
If for any reason the arbitration clause set out above is not applicable, then each party,(i) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in relation to any issue relating to these Terms of Use or any other matter involving the parties, and (ii) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in the city of Toronto, province of Ontario.
These Terms of Use do not hinder the rights of either party to seek injunctive relief in order to limit immediate, serious and irreparable injury.
We shall not be liable for delays, failure in performance or interruption of service which result directly or indirectly from any cause or condition beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to, any delay or failure due to any act of God, act of civil or military authorities, act of terrorists, civil disturbance, war, strike or other labor dispute, fire, interruption in telecommunications or internet services or network provider services, failure of equipment and/or software, other catastrophe or any other occurrence which is beyond our reasonable control and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from these Terms of Use operates, or may be construed, as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder precludes any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
These Terms of Use shall not be construed to waive rights that cannot be waived under applicable local, provincial, state and federal laws where you are located.
