Login Names and Passwords

The Clay Brick Association of Canada may from time to time restrict access to the Site or any portion of it by use of a unique login name and password. The use of a password does not restrict access by The Clay Brick Association of Canada and its service providers to the password-protected information. Login names and passwords may not be shared. For security reasons, you must keep your login name and password confidential and not disclose them to any person or permit any other person to use them, except an authorized The Clay Brick Association of Canada representative. Also, passwords should be non-obvious, hard-to-guess, confidential and changed on a regular basis (for your own protection). You must log-out at the end of each session in which you accessed areas of our Site protected by login and password.

If passwords are used on our Site to allow you to gain access to special information or enter into transactions with us, we will take appropriate steps to keep this information well protected. However, you are solely responsible and liable for any use and misuse of your login name and password and for all activities that occur under your login name and password. You must ensure that all uses of your login name and password comply with these Terms of Use. You must immediately notify The Clay Brick Association of Canada at [email protected] if any of the following occur: any unauthorized use of your login name or password, or if you know or suspect that your login name or password has been lost or stolen, has become known to any other person, or has been otherwise compromised. We will not ask for your password in any unsolicited telephone call or e-mail.

The Clay Brick Association of Canada is not under any obligation to verify the actual identity or authority of the user of any login name or password.

You must respond promptly to all email and other correspondence from The Clay Brick Association of Canada, including without limitation email and correspondence concerning complaints or concerns regarding your use of your login name or password or your use of the Site.

The security and privacy provided by passwords is not complete, and can be circumvented. Your use of passwords is at your own risk.

Site Security

You are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of this Site, including without limitation

(a) accessing data not intended for you or logging onto a server or an account which you are not authorized to access;

(b) attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization;

(c) attempting to interfere with the service to any user, host or network, including, without limitation, via means of submitting a virus to this site, overloading, “flooding,” “spamming,” “mail bombing,” or “crashing”;

We recognize that when you choose to provide us with information about yourself, you trust us to act responsibly. We have adopted a Privacy Policy to explain how we use your personal information.

Applicable Laws

THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULES AND WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY RULES OF PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW OR CONVENTION OR OTHER PRINCIPLES GIVING RISE TO THE APPLICATION OF OTHER LAWS. THE PARTIES SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Instead of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, the parties agree to be bound by a valid and enforceable provision that comes closest to what the parties intend commercially and any excessively broad provision will be construed by limiting and reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it should then be determined.

Survival

If you bring any action against The Clay Brick Association of Canada after these Terms of Use have for any reason been terminated, such termination will not affect or prejudice any rights or obligations which have accrued or arisen under these Terms of Use prior to the time of termination or which expressly or by their nature survive termination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following provisions will survive the termination of these Terms of Use for any reason: Confidentiality; Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability; Applicable Laws.

Waiver

A waiver of any default, breach or non-compliance under these Terms of Use is not effective unless in writing and signed by The Clay Brick Association of Canada. No waiver will be inferred from or implied by any failure to act or delay in acting by The Clay Brick Association of Canada in respect of any default, breach, non-observance or by anything done or omitted to be done by you. The waiver by The Clay Brick Association of Canada of any default, breach or non-compliance under these Terms of Use will not operate as a waiver of The Clay Brick Association of Canada’ rights under these Terms of Use in respect of any continuing or subsequent default, breach or non-compliance (whether of the same or any other nature).  

Successors and Assigns

These Terms of Use are to the benefit of, and will be binding on, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that you may not assign any of your rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of The Clay Brick Association of Canada.
