No Warranty
Passport Company has no fiduciary duty to any User. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT USER'S OWN RISK.

Waiver and Release
For those Users located in a jurisdiction that requires a specific statement regarding waiver and release, each such User hereby waives any provision in law, regulation or code that has the effect or intent to narrow down the full extent of a general release.

Limitation of Liability
PASSPORT COMPANY (INCLUDING ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUBCONTRACTORS OR LICENSORS) IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR, IN ANY EVENT, FOR DAMAGES EXCEEDING THE LESSER OF ONE HUNDRED CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD $100.00) OR THE FEES PAID TO PASSPORT COMPANY FOR THE TRANSACTION FROM WHICH THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SECTION APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF PASSPORT COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.
For jurisdictions that do not allow Passport Company to limit its liability: Notwithstanding any provision of the Terms, for Users in a jurisdiction that has provisions specific to waiver or liability that conflict with the foregoing, then Passport Company's liability is limited to the smallest extent possible by law. Specifically, in those jurisdictions not allowed, Passport Company does not disclaim liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by its negligence or that of any of its officers, employees or agents; or (b) fraudulent misrepresentation or intentional misconduct; or (c) any liability which it is not lawful to exclude either now or in the future.

Assignment
The Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by any User, but may be assigned by Passport Company without restriction or consent.

Termination and Survival
Termination may result in the forfeiture and destruction of all information associated with any User Account. Users may terminate their User Account by following the instructions on the Services, but Passport Company may retain the User Account information after termination in accordance with regulatory, accounting, and legal compliance procedures. All provisions of the Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.

Governing Law
Users agree that: (a) the Services shall be deemed solely based in Ontario, Canada (the principal place of business and head office of Passport Company); and (b) the Services shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Passport Company, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Ontario. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and Canada therein, without respect to its conflict of laws principles.

Arbitration
Passport Company and User agree that any and all disputes or claims shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that a User at its election may assert claims in small claims court, if the User’s claims otherwise qualify for adjudication in that court. Passport Company and User manifest their assent to arbitrate by providing and using the Services. Arbitrable claims are those that Passport Company asserts against User, and that User asserts against Passport Company, any related or affiliated entity, and the officers, directors, agents or employees of any of them. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Parties agree to arbitrate claims on an individual basis only, and they waive any right to bring, participate in, or recover under, a class, collective, consolidated or representative action. Arbitration shall be in accordance with the rules of the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario) in effect on the date of commencement of such arbitration, by three arbitrators (individually, an “Arbitrator” and collectively, the “Arbitrators”).  Each of the parties hereto shall select an Arbitrator and shall notify the other party of the person so selected in writing by registered mail.  The first party to so be notified shall thereafter have fifteen (15) days to appoint the second Arbitrator, failing which the first party to have named an Arbitrator shall have the right to appoint the second Arbitrator as well.  The Arbitrators so selected shall within twenty (20) days of their nomination name a third Arbitrator. The arbitration shall take place in the City of Toronto unless otherwise agreed by the parties.  The Arbitrators shall have the right to grant legal and equitable relief including the right to grant permanent and interim injunctive relief.  The Arbitrators shall not amend or otherwise alter the terms and conditions herein.  The Arbitrators shall render a decision within sixty (60) days after the date on which the last Arbitrator was appointed.  Any Claim arising out of or relating to the terms of this Agreement shall be made in writing and shall be served upon the party against whom the Claim is made not more than twelve (12) months from the date of the alleged breach and any such Claim not made within such twelve (12) month period shall be deemed to have been abandoned and shall be absolutely barred. The award of the Arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties and no appeal shall lie to any court.  The parties hereby agree to carry out any decision or order of the Arbitrators in good faith. If, notwithstanding this arbitration agreement, a claim for any reason proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought and heard in a court of competent jurisdiction located in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Disclaimers
Campaign Initiators and other Users should be aware that many jurisdictions impose charitable fund solicitation laws to guide direct or indirect fund solicitation activities in those jurisdictions. While provisions vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, the requirements typically include mandatory registration and reporting. Passport Company merely provides a technology platform to allow Campaign Initiators to connect with Contributors. Users who access or use the Services do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with applicable laws.
Passport Company makes no representations, warranties or other assertions as to the potential tax deductible status of any Contribution by a Contributor to a charitable cause or to a Campaign whose purported recipient claims to be a charity or other tax-advantaged organization. The listing of an organization via the Services does not necessarily mean that the organization has been deemed (or remains currently deemed) a charitable or tax-advantaged organization by the relevant tax authorities.

English Language
In the event of a conflict between these the English language version of the Terms and any foreign language translation versions thereof, the English language version of the Terms shall govern and control. All disputes, claims and causes of action (and related proceedings) will be communicated in English.

Cooperation with Authorities and Police Enforcement
We will cooperate with law enforcement authorities as required by law. We will cooperate with law enforcement agencies in any investigation of alleged illegal activity regarding the use of the Services when requested.

Notification Procedures
Users agree Passport Company may provide notifications to such User via email, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on our website. Users may opt out of certain means of notification or to receive certain notifications.

Unsolicited Idea Submissions
We are always pleased to hear from our Users, and welcome their comments or suggestions. However, products, services, and features developed by Passport Company or its Users might be similar or even identical to a submission received by Passport Company or its Users. When we refer to a "submission" in this paragraph, we mean: any submission, comment, or suggestion (including, but not limited to, ideas, products, or services and suggested changes) made either on the Passport Company platform or to Passport Company about an existing product or service on, or a feature of, or a proposed addition to, the Passport Company platform. With regard to User submissions:
(1) all such submissions are non-confidential and non-proprietary and will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary;
(2) Passport Company and its Users will have no express or implied obligation or liability of any kind concerning the submissions, including, for example, any use or disclosure of the submissions; and,
(3) Passport Company and its Users are entitled to unrestricted use or disclosure of the submissions for any purpose whatsoever, all without compensation to the User that submitted the submission.

Entire Agreement/Severability
These Terms are the entire agreement between each User and Passport Company regarding its subject matter. If any provision of these Terms are deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Passport Company's failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Changes to Terms
Passport Company may alter the Terms at any time, so please review them frequently. If a material change is made, Passport Company may notify Users in the Services, by email, by means of a notice on the Services, or other places we think appropriate. A "material change" will be determined at Passport Company's sole discretion, in good faith, and using common sense and reasonable judgment.
