15. Changes to the Service and Terms

We may modify the Service and these Terms. If changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice. Continued use after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance.

16. Governing law and dispute resolution

16.1 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, excluding conflict of law rules.

16.2 Binding arbitration in Toronto. Except for claims that qualify for small claims court or for injunctive relief relating to intellectual property or misuse of the Service, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and not in court.

16.3 Arbitration procedure. The arbitration will be conducted in English by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award, except that the arbitrator may not award relief on a class or representative basis.

17.2 Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
