The following terms and conditions govern all use of the Cannabisaur.us website and all content, services and products available at or through the website (taken together, the “Website”). The Website is owned and operated by The National Cannabis and Prevention Centre (“NCPIC”). The Website is offered subject to your acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies (including, without limitation, NCPIC’s Privacy Policy) and procedures that may be published from time to time on this Site by NCPIC (collectively, the “Agreement”).

Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using the Website. By accessing or using any part of the web site, you agree to become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then you may not access the Website or use any services. If these terms and conditions are considered an offer by NCPIC, acceptance is expressly limited to these terms.

1. Your Cannabisaur.us Account and Contributions. If you contribute to the Website, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the account. You must not describe or assign keywords to your and others contributions in a misleading or unlawful manner, including in a manner intended to trade on the name or reputation of others, and NCPIC may change or remove any description or keyword that it considers inappropriate or unlawful, or otherwise likely to cause NCPIC liability. You must immediately notify NCPIC of any unauthorized uses of your account or any other breaches of security. NCPIC will not be liable for any acts or omissions by You, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.

2. Responsibility of Contributors. If you add an entry, modify an entry, post material to the Website, post links on the Website, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available by means of the Website (any such material, “Content”), You are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content. That is the case regardless of whether the Content in question constitutes text, graphics, an audio file, or computer software. By making Content available, you represent and warrant that:

   • the downloading, copying and use of the Content will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret rights, of any third party;
   • if your employer has rights to intellectual property you create, you have either (i) received permission from your employer to post or make available the Content, including but not limited to any software, or (ii) secured from your employer a waiver as to all rights in or to the Content;
   • you have fully complied with any third-party licenses relating to the Content, and have done all things necessary to successfully pass through to end users any required terms;
   • the Content does not contain or install any viruses, worms, malware, Trojan horses or other harmful or destructive content;
   • the Content is not spam, is not machine- or randomly-generated, and does not contain unethical or unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third party sites or boost the search engine rankings of third party sites, or to further unlawful acts (such as phishing) or mislead recipients as to the source of the material (such as spoofing); and
   • the Content is not pornographic, does not contain threats or incite violence towards individuals or entities, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party.

   By submitting Content to NCPIC for inclusion on your Website, you grant NCPIC a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content.

   Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, NCPIC has the right (though not the obligation) to, in NCPIC’s sole discretion (i) refuse or remove any content that, in NCPIC’s reasonable opinion, violates any NCPIC policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (ii) terminate or deny access to and use of the Website to any individual or entity for any reason, in NCPIC’s sole discretion. NCPIC will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.

3. Responsibility of Website Visitors. NCPIC has not necessarily reviewed, and cannot necessarily review, all of the material, posted to the Website, and cannot therefore be responsible for that material’s content, use or effects.

You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. The Website may contain content that is offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable, as well as content containing technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, and other errors.

You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content. NCPIC disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from your use of non-NCPIC websites and webpages.

NCPIC will respond to all such notices, including as required or appropriate by removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the infringing material. NCPIC will terminate a visitor’s access to and use of the Website if, under appropriate circumstances, the visitor is determined to be a repeat infringer of the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NCPIC or others.
