7. Licence to Use Content (non-personal information) You Voluntarily Share or Send to Us.

For clarity, this entire section 7 does NOT apply to Personal Information (as defined in the Privacy Policy) and which is handled as set out in section 8 below (i.e., under our Privacy Policy). It also does not apply to any information, personal or otherwise submitted in a report to Cybertip.ca (which information is always handled in accordance with the Cybertip.ca Privacy Policy).
8. Use of Personal Information. You acknowledge that C3P collects, uses and discloses personal information through the Website for the identified purposes set forth in the Privacy Policy posted on the Website (the “Privacy Policy”).

9. Accuracy. The Website is provided for educational and informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as a recommendation for any specific third party product or service or course of action. The Website is not intended to be used as, or as a substitute for, professional advice. The information on the Website is believed to be reliable at the time it is posted. Although reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the Website is current and does not contain errors or inaccuracies, C3P cannot guarantee that the Website is accurate or error-free or that it will be current at all times. The information on the Website is subject to change without notice, and C3P reserves the right in its sole discretion to correct any errors or omissions in any part of the Website.

Under no circumstances shall C3P or any of its employees, directors, officers, agents, affiliates, licensors or suppliers be liable for any damages whatsoever arising out of or related to (1) access to or use of the Website; and/or (2) any information or content you send to C3P; and/or (3) the use of links to third party websites, whether or not any such damages are or might be foreseeable or caused in whole or in part by the negligence of C3P, and even if the Canadian Centre is informed of their possibility; including without limitation liability for direct, indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (including lost profits, lost savings, business interruption or loss of data). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, C3P assumes no responsibility and shall not be liable for any damages to, or viruses that may infect, your computer equipment or other property on account of your access to, use of, or browsing in the Website or your downloading of any materials, data, text, images, video or audio from the Website.

12. Remedies. You acknowledge that the exclusive remedies and limited liability set forth in this Agreement are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between C3P and you. You agree that C3P would not be able to provide access to the Website on an economic basis without such limitation.
13. Termination. Without prejudice to any other of its rights, C3P may terminate this Agreement, without notice to you, if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

The terms of this Agreement will survive the termination or expiry of this Agreement.
14. Linked Sites — 3^rd party. C3P may provide links to third party websites which are provided for your convenience. C3P does not endorse or take responsibility for the accuracy or appropriateness of the information, data, opinions, advice, statements, content, hyper-links, and information contained on those third party websites and is not liable for any issues arising from your use of those third party websites. Access to third party linked websites is at your own risk. In providing links to third party websites, C3P is in no way acting as a publisher or disseminator of the material contained on those third party websites and does not seek to monitor or control such websites. A link to a third party website should not be construed to mean that C3P is affiliated or associated with same. The mention of another party or its product or service on the Website should not be construed as an endorsement of that party or its product or service. Further, when you click on links and/or banners that take you to a third party website, you will be subject to the policies of the third party website and any applicable agreement posted thereon. The Canadian Centre will not be responsible for the actions of third parties. Whenever you are interacting with any third party website, you should carefully read its posted policies and agreements.
15. Linked Sites — C3P. The Website may provide links to other websites owned and operated by C3P (including but not limited to: Cybertip.ca, Missingkids.ca, Kidsintheknow.ca, or NeedHelpNow.ca). Your access to each of those linked websites is subject to the terms and conditions of use, and the privacy policy, posted on such website. This is because each linked website is aimed at a particular audience and may include functionality or features that differ from this Website.
16. Monitoring. C3P has no obligation to monitor the Website. You agree that the Canadian Centre has the right to monitor the Website from time to time and to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or other governmental request, to operate the Website properly, to protect itself and/or other users of the Website, or where it suspects abuse, misuse and/or unlawful activity.
17. General Provisions. This Agreement cannot be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by you. This Agreement will endure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of us and our respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed under, the laws of the Province of Manitoba and the laws of Canada applicable therein. In the event of a dispute, we agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Manitoba courts. We expressly exclude the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and The Sale of Goods Act (Manitoba), as amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time. This Website, and these terms and conditions of use, are made available in both French and in English and each are equally valid. If you do not speak or understand French, then each party agrees that this Agreement and all documents relating thereto be drawn-up in English. Nous avons demandé que cette convention ainsi que tous les documents qui s’y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais. This Agreement constitutes and contains the entire agreement between you and C3P with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or a tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining portion of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
