15. Release

In the event that you have a dispute with one or more Users, you agree to release Local Skill (including our affiliates and each of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, and suppliers) from claims, demands and damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected to such disputes with other Users or to your use of the Platform or the Service. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users.

16. Term and Termination

These Terms are effective upon your creation of a Local Skill Account and will remain in full force and effect until the Account is deactivated or otherwise terminated.

We may, at any time without notice or liability, and for any reason whatsoever, terminate, change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Platform, or any part thereof, including (a) changing the availability of, restricting access to, or imposing limits on any or all features or services on, or links to, the Platform, including accounts; (b) removing, adding, modifying or otherwise changing any content on the Platform. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to correct any errors or omissions on any portion of the Platform at any time without notice, but confirm that it has no obligation to do so.

If these Terms or your permission to use the Platform or the Services is terminated for any reason, then (a) all licenses granted to you by us hereunder shall immediately terminate; (b) you must cease your use of the Platform and the Services; (c) these Terms will nevertheless continue to apply and be binding upon you in respect of your prior use of the Platform and the Services and anything connected with, relating to or arising from that use; (d) we will terminate your access to your Account; and (e) any perpetual licenses granted by you to us hereunder shall continue in force notwithstanding such termination.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the applicable federal laws of Canada. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if there is any dispute between us under these Terms, we both agree to resolve the dispute by arbitration at ADR Chambers using the ADR Chambers Expedited Arbitration Rules. We both agree that the ADR Chambers Expedited Arbitration Rules give us both a fair opportunity to present our respective cases and respond to the case of the other side. The arbitration shall be held in the City of Toronto and shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Act (Ontario) and the ADR Chambers Expedited Arbitration Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator, including any award on costs, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration shall be an In Writing Only arbitration and shall be conducted in English. If arbitration is not possible, you agree that the courts of the Province of Ontario and the federal courts of Canada shall have exclusive jurisdiction over these Terms.

18. General

You agree that there is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship between you and Local Skill.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, illegal or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed to be severable from the rest of these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from these Terms operates, or may be construed, as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder precludes any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

These Terms, including any changes made to these Terms from time to time, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Local Skill with respect to the matters contained herein and supersedes all previous agreements, written, oral or otherwise, between you and Local Skill regarding such subject matter.

Local Skill may, without prior notice and without your consent, assign any or all of our rights and obligations under these Terms to another party at any time and upon such assignment the assignee shall assume all of our rights and obligations under these Terms.

Any rights not expressly granted by these Terms are reserved to Local Skill.
