12. Limitation of Liability and Damages
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MVI BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, OR UNAVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICES.

You represent that you are not a person or entity described or designated under the provisions of any Canadian anti-terrorism or sanctions legislation (including under the Criminal Code (Canada), the Special Economic Measures Act (Canada) or the United Nations Act (Canada), or any associated regulations thereof) (a “Listed Person”). You may not use the Services if you are or become a Listed Person. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the Services are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located in Canada.
13. Disputes and Binding Individual Arbitration
“Disputes” are defined as any claim, controversy, or dispute between you and us, its processors, suppliers or licensors (or their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, agents, licensors, co-branders or other partners, or employees), including any claims relating in any way to these Terms, or the Services, or any other aspect of our relationship.
You and MVI agree to arbitrate any and all Disputes by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL ONLY BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST MVI. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class or representative arbitration). All Disputes will be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution Canada (https://www.icdr.org), where such arbitration is conducted in Canada. Consumer claimants (individuals whose transaction is intended for personal, family, or household use) may elect to pursue their claims in their local small-claims court rather than through arbitration so long as their matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual (non-class or non-representative) basis. If you are a consumer bringing a claim relating to personal, household, or family use under a consumer protection law of a province or territory, any arbitration hearing will occur within such jurisdiction and be governed by the laws of such jurisdiction. Otherwise, any arbitration hearing will occur in: (a) Toronto, Ontario; (b) another mutually agreeable location; or (c) a location ordered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and MVI also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, agents, licensors, co-branders or other partners, or employees, predecessors, successors and assigns as well as authorized users or beneficiaries of the Services. Subject to and without waiver of the arbitration provisions above: (i) you agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions in consumer cases) will be brought in and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the provincial or federal courts in the City of Toronto, Ontario.
14. Termination
Your license to the Services under these Terms continues until either party terminates it. You may terminate the license by discontinuing use of all or any of the Services. We may terminate the license at any time for any reason. Your rights to use the Services terminate automatically if (i) you violate any of these Terms, (ii) we publicly post a written notice of termination on www.categorizr.com, (iii) we send a written notice of termination to you, or (iv) we disable your access to the Services.

You shall not have any authority to assume or create any obligation for or on behalf of MVI, express or implied, and you shall not attempt to bind MVI to any contract.
Invalidity of Specific Terms. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision and the other provisions of such documents remain in full force and effect.
Governing Law. These Terms and the relationship between you and MVI shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
No Waiver of Rights by MVI. MVI’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Miscellaneous. The section headings and subheadings contained in this agreement are included for convenience only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the terms of these Terms. Any construction or interpretation to be made of these Terms shall not be construed against the drafter. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between MVI and you with respect to the subject matter hereof.
