4.4. If you post or submit content (e.g. comments, forum posts, feedback), you grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, display, or publish such content as needed in connection with the Site and Services.
5.1. No Warranty. The Site and Services are provided “as is,” “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied (including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or noninfringement).
5.2. While we strive for accuracy, we do not guarantee that content is complete, reliable, or error-free.
5.3. Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither TIES nor its affiliates, employees, agents, or licensors will be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or special damages (e.g. loss of profits, data, goodwill), arising out of your use or inability to use the Site or Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
5.4. Our total liability to you for all claims under these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (i) the fees you paid to us (if any) in the prior 12 months, or (ii) CAD $100.

We may terminate or suspend your access at any time, without notice or liability, for any reason, including breach of these Terms or disabling of your account. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (e.g. sections on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification) will survive.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province of Alberta (or whichever province is applicable) and Canada, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict-of-law provisions.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Alberta (or the applicable province), and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
These Terms, together with any policies referenced herein (e.g. Privacy Policy), constitute the entire agreement between you and TIES with respect to the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral.
We may provide notices to you by email, via the Site, or by postal mail (if address provided). You agree that service by email constitutes effective notice.
