This Web site, and all content, material, information or postings
found on or accessed through this Web site, are provided on an "AS
IS" basis. Van Houtte, its affiliates and related companies,
and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants
and agents expressly disclaim any and all representations, warranties
and conditions, express and implied, including, without limitation,
any and all representations and warranties of title and non-infringement,
and all implied warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness
for any particular purpose, suitability for any particular purpose,
and any representations, warranties or conditions arising from any
course of dealing or usage of trade, with respect to this Web site
or the content contained in or accessed through this Web site.
Neither Van Houtte nor its affiliates and related companies, nor
each of their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants
and agents makes any representations or warranties as to the accuracy,
timeliness, reliability, truthfulness or completeness of this Web
site or the content contained in or accessed through this Web site,
including, but not limited to, the contents of any content, information,
material, or posting found on this Web site (including, but not
limited to, any press releases or financial information), any services
provided through this Web site, or any links to other sites made
available on this Web site or the content contained on such site(s),
or as to the continuous or error free use and operation of the internet
or this Web site.
Neither Van Houtte nor its affiliates and related companies, nor
each of their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants
or agents makes any representations or warranties that this Web
site or access to and use of this Web site will be uninterrupted,
error free, or free from defects, viruses or other harmful components.
You expressly agree that use of this Web site is at your sole risk.
Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence,
gross negligence, negligent misrepresentation and fundamental breach
shall Van Houtte or its affiliates and related companies, and each
of their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants
and agents be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special
or consequential damages or any loss that result from the use of,
or the inability to use, any content, information, material, or
postings on this Web site, directly or indirectly, or the transmission
of confidential or sensitive information over the internet. These
limitations apply regardless of whether the party liable or allegedly
liable was advised, had other reason to know, or in fact knew of
the possibility of such damages. You specifically acknowledge and
agree that neither Van Houtte nor its affiliates and related companies,
nor each of their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants
and agents shall be liable for any defamatory, offensive or illegal
conduct of any user, including you.
Van Houtte is committed to respecting and safeguarding the privacy
of users of this site. Van Houtte’s policy is simple: we collect
personal information about you only when you knowingly and willingly
provide it, and we will not share or otherwise profit from the distribution
of personal data beyond the use it was provided to fulfill. What
has always been fundamental to the way we do business at Van Houtte
in all our relationships, either on or off the Internet: we are
committed to keeping personal information accurate, confidential,
secure and private. Despite these assurances, Van Houtte reserves
the right, at any time and without warning, to divulge information
about you or information on your use of this site when we are bound
to do so by law, regulation, or any other government request or
court order.
Van Houtte does gather, however, information about clients that
is not of a personal nature and which is extracted from surveys
aimed at better understanding client needs and improving its overall
services. This information is shared with business partners and
advertisers but does not include any information that identifies
clients and does not endanger the confidentiality of your personal
information.
Absolute confidentiality and security are not yet possible on the
Internet. Internet communications can be intercepted, lost, and
altered. Regardless of the site on which you provide personal information,
it is possible for a third person to view this information. It happens,
for example, that messages delivered to discussion groups can lead
to an excess of unsolicited email messages. Van Houtte is not responsible
for damages that you may suffer following the transmission of confidential
information or the delicate nature of the Internet and that all
these communications are taken at your own risk and with your consent.
Web sites accessed via hypertext link or other means from this
Web site have, unless otherwise indicated, been independently developed
by third parties and we do not warrant the accuracy or completeness
of the information contained in such sites. The inclusion of any
information, material, content or links on this Web site should
not be construed as an express nor an implied endorsement of any
third party products or services.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you will defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Van Houtte, its affiliates and related
companies, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees,
consultants and agents from and against all claims, liability, and
expenses, including all legal fees and costs, arising out of: (i)
your breach of these provisions; or (ii) your use of this Web site,
the content contained in this Web site and the placement or transmission
of any information or other materials on this Web site made by you
or others using your account. You agree to promptly notify Van Houtte
immediately after you become aware of any unauthorised use of your
account and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to prevent
any reoccurrence of such event. Van Houtte reserves the right, in
its sole discretion and at its own expense, to assume the exclusive
defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification
by you. You will co-operate as fully as reasonably required in the
defence of any claim.
If you are dissatisfied with this Web site or these provisions,
your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using this Web
site. In such an event, you agree to destroy all materials obtained
by you on this Web site and all copies thereof. These provisions
shall survive any such termination.
Van Houtte also assumes no responsibility, and shall not be liable
for, any damages to, or viruses that may infect, your computer equipment
or other property on account of your access to, use of, or browsing
in this Web site or your downloading of any materials, data, text,
images, video, or audio from this Web site.
Any disputes arising hereunder shall be governed exclusively by
the laws of the province of Quebec and the laws of Canada applicable
therein, without giving effect to their conflict of laws principles.
You expressly consent to the exclusive forum, jurisdiction, and
venue of the courts of Quebec and/or the Federal Court of Canada,
or any other judicial district or jurisdiction as Van Houtte may
determine, in any and all actions, disputes, or controversies relating
hereto. These provisions and any rules, policies or guidelines posted
on this Web site by Van Houtte constitute the entire agreement between
Van Houtte and you with respect to the subject matter hereof. No
waiver by either Van Houtte or you of any breach or default hereunder
shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach
or default. If any provision contained herein shall be determined
to be void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such termination shall not affect the remaining provisions
contained herein. The parties have required that these provisions
and all documents relating thereto be drawn up in English.
