6. Security of the Application
To ensure reliability and to protect the User Data, we use high grade hosting services and security technologies that we believe will provide you with a secure and safe environment. For example, all Content and information on the Application is encrypted using SSL certificates.
However, no system is perfectly secure or reliable. The internet is an inherently insecure medium, and the reliability of hosting services, internet intermediaries, your internet service provider, and other service providers cannot be assured. When you use the Application, you accept these risks and the responsibility for choosing to use a technology that cannot guarantee complete security and reliability.

WHILE CAMPAIGN GEARS ATTEMPTS TO MAKE YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE APPLICATION SAFE, CAMPAIGN GEARS DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE APPLICATION OR ANY CONTENT ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

10. Applicable Law and Venue
The Application is controlled by Campaign Gears Ltd. and is operated by it from its offices in Toronto, Ontario. You and Campaign Gears both benefit from establishing a predictable legal environment in regard to the Application. Therefore, you and Campaign Gears explicitly agree that all disputes, claims or other matters arising from or relating to your use of the Application will be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
Except where prohibited by applicable law, any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract or tort, pursuant to statute or regulation, or otherwise, and whether preexisting, present or future) arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms; (b) the Application or Content; (c) oral or written statements relating to these Terms or to the Application; or (d) the relationships that result from these Terms or the Application or Content (collectively, a “Claim”) will be referred to and determined by a sole arbitrator (to the exclusion of the courts). Except where prohibited by applicable law, you waive any right you may have to commence or participate in any class action against Campaign Gears related to any Claim and, where applicable, you also agree to opt out of any class proceedings against Campaign Gears. If you have a Claim, you should give written notice to arbitrate at the address specified below. If we have a Claim, we will give you notice to arbitrate at your address provided in your Registration Data. Arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator pursuant to the commercial arbitration laws and rules in effect on the date of the notice in the Province of Ontario.
To the extent arbitration as described in the immediately preceding paragraph is prohibited by applicable law, you agree that all Claims will be heard and resolved in a court of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in Toronto, Ontario. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts over you, stipulate to the fairness and convenience of proceeding in such courts, and covenant not to assert any objection to proceeding in such courts.
If you choose to access the Application from locations other than Ontario, you will be responsible for compliance with all local laws of such other jurisdiction and you agree to indemnify Campaign Gears and the other Released Parties for your failure to comply with any such laws.
11. Termination/Modification of License and Site Offerings
Notwithstanding any provision of these Terms, Campaign Gears reserves the right, without notice and in its sole discretion, without any notice or liability to you, to (a) terminate your License to use the Application, or any portion thereof; (b) block or prevent your future access to and use of all or any portion of the Application or Content; (c) change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Application or Content; and (d) impose limits on the Application or Content.
If these Terms expire or terminate for any reason, Sections 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13, and any representation or warranty you make in these Terms, shall also survive indefinitely.
12. Modification of Terms
Campaign Gears reserves the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in these Terms, or any policy or guideline applicable to the Services, at any time and in its sole discretion. If we do so, we will update the Terms on the Site. Unless otherwise specified, any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting of the revisions on the Site, and your continued use of the Application after such time will constitute your acceptance of such changes or modifications. You should from time to time review the Terms and any policies and documents incorporated in them to understand the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Application. The Terms will always show the ‘last updated’ date at the top. If you do not agree to any amended Terms, you must stop using the Application.

13. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed 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. Campaign Gears may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to any party without your consent. You are not permitted to assign any of your rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Campaign Gears, and any such attempted assignment will be void and unenforceable. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Campaign Gears regarding your use of the Application, and supercede all prior or contemporaneous communications whether electronic, oral or written between you and Campaign Gears regarding your use of the Application. The parties confirm that it is their wish that these Terms, as well as any other documents relating to this Terms, including notices, have been and shall be drawn up in the English language only.
