22. Term and Termination; Survival

  • These Terms of Use will commence on the day you first use the Spexi Network and will continue for as long as you use the Spexi Network or until terminated in accordance with the provisions of these Terms of Use. At any time, we may: (i) suspend or terminate your rights to access or use the Spexi Network, or (ii) terminate these Terms of Use, in our sole discretion, for any reason, including if we believe that you have used the Spexi Network in violation of these Terms of Use, the Documentation or any other use guidelines we provide to you or are posted on the Spexi Network, or have engaged in fraudulent activity. You may terminate these Terms of Use by emailing your request that your User ID be deleted to support@spexi.com, ceasing use of the Spexi Network, and uninstalling the Mobile App.  Certain users may also be able to delete their User ID and account through the Mobile App. For greater certainty, if you continue to use any portion of the Spexi Network after these Terms of Use have been purportedly terminated by you as described above, these Terms of Use will continue to apply to the extent of such use. In the event of termination, you are no longer authorized to access or use the Spexi Network and the benefits thereof.

  • Notwithstanding termination of these Terms of Use as set out in Section 21(a), the following Sections, together with any other provision of these Terms of Use which expressly or by its nature survives termination or expiration, or which contemplates performance or observance subsequent to termination or expiration of these Terms of Use, will survive expiration or termination of these Terms of Use for any reason: Sections ‎8 (Intellectual Property), ‎10 (Ownership of the Spexi Network), ‎11 (Additional Terms), Error! Reference source not found. (User Contributions), ‎15 (Copyright Infringement), ‎17 (Third Party Content, Websites or Services) ‎18 (Malicious Code and Security), ‎19 (Disclaimer), ‎20 (Limitation of Liability), ‎21 (Indemnification), ‎22(b) (Survival), ‎23 (Disputes), and ‎24 (General).

23. Disputes

  • TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of, relating to, or in respect of these Terms of Service, including their negotiation, validity, existence, breach, termination, construction or application, or the rights, duties or obligations of any party, or the rights, duties or obligations of any party derived from or associated with these Terms of Use (a “Dispute”), will be handled according to the provisions set out below.

  • We are available by email to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Spexi Network. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner.

  • If we and you do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 30 days of the initial response to a concern brought by a party, then the Dispute will be referred to and determined by a single arbitrator in a final and binding arbitration administered under the rules of ADR Institute of Canada, Inc.’s Arbitration Rules. If the parties to the Dispute have not agreed upon the arbitrator within 14 days, the parties will ask the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. to appoint a single arbitrator. The seat of the arbitration will be the same as the provincial or territorial law governing these Terms of Use. The arbitration will be heard in Vancouver, British Columbia. The costs and expenses of the arbitrator will be shared equally between the parties to the Dispute.  The parties have no right of appeal from any award of the Arbitrator, whether characterized as final, interim, interlocutory or partial. All Disputes referred to arbitration (including the scope of these Terms of Use to arbitrate, the law relating to the enforcement of these Terms of Use to arbitrate, any relevant limitation periods, the law governing the procedure of the arbitration, the law relating to available remedies, set-off claims and conflict of laws rules) will be governed by the law of the seat, and the parties hereby irrevocably consent to venue in Vancouver, British Columbia, and to the jurisdiction of competent courts in the capital of the seat for all litigation that may be brought, subject to the requirements for arbitration hereunder, with respect to the terms of, and the transactions and relationships contemplated by, these Terms of Use. Notwithstanding this provision, either party may take such steps as are permitted or required to enforce an award made by an arbitrator. The existence of the arbitration and any element of the arbitration, including any award, will be confidential. The deemed undertaking rule will apply. No document or other evidence or information prepared for or produced by or on behalf of the parties to the Dispute will be disclosed to any non-party to the arbitration. You agree that you will not contest venue, and you waive any rights you may have to initiate, transfer, or change the venue of any litigation arising from or related to these Terms of Use.

  • Class Action Waiver. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, you further agree that any lawsuit or arbitration will be conducted in your individual capacity only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you expressly waive the right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above will be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties will be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

24. General

  • Choice of Law. To the extent permitted by law, these Terms of Use will be governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein (without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law), and such laws apply to your access to or use of the Spexi Network notwithstanding your physical location.

Except as restricted by applicable law, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in Vancouver, British Columbia in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Spexi Network.

  • Waiver. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. A waiver of any provision of these Terms of Use must be in writing and a waiver in one instance will not preclude enforcement of such provision on other occasions.

  • Severable. If any of the provisions contained in these Terms of Use are determined to be void, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be severed from these Terms of Use and all other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

  • Assignment. Neither party may assign these Terms of Use to any third party without the other party’s prior written consent, except our rights and obligations may be assigned to a third party without your consent where such assignment is in connection with a reorganization, merger, consolidation, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or substantially all of our business, as the case may be. Any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section ‎24(f) will be null and void. The terms of these Terms of Use will be binding upon permitted assignees. These Terms of Use will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties, their permitted successors and permitted assignees.

  • References. For purposes of these Terms of Use, (a) the words "include", "includes", and "including" are deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation"; (b) the word "or" is not exclusive; (c) the words "herein", "hereof", "hereby", "hereto", and "hereunder" refer to these Terms of Use as a whole; (d) whenever the singular is used herein, the same includes the plural, and whenever the plural is used herein, the same includes the singular, where appropriate. These Terms of Use shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted.

  • English Language. It is the express wish of the parties that these Terms of Use and all related documents be drawn up in English. C’est la volonté expresse des parties que la présente convention ainsi que les documents qui s’y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais.
