Application Okaz Inc. (the “Company”) provides services to you through one or more mobile applications, through one or more websites and through related services (collectively and individually the “Services”), subject to the following Terms of Use. Among other things, the Services allow users to send event invitations to their contacts through third-party applications.
Any user of the Services is deemed to have read, accepted and recognized the validity of these Terms of Use, and undertakes to respect them and be bound by them. If a user of the Services does not accept these Terms of Use, they must stop using the Services. The Company may, at any moment and without prior notice, modify these Terms of Use. The users of the Services are asked to check regularly if these Terms of Use have been modified. Any such changes will become effective no earlier than thirty (30) days after they are posted, except that changes addressing new functions of the Services or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you disagree with such changes, you may cease to use the Services at any time. Your continued use of the Service after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use.
These Terms of Use form the full set of rights and obligations between the Company and any user of the Services, and replace any terms or prior provision relating to the use of the Services. No verbal or written declaration from an employee or director of the Company, or any other person, may modify or substitute these Terms of Use.
The Services is managed and fed from a computer located in the province of Quebec, Canada. The content and use of the Services are governed by the applicable laws of Quebec and Canada. These Terms of Use, as well as any dispute or misunderstanding resulting from their application, must be interpreted in accordance with these laws. In the case that any part of these Terms of Use were held to be unlawful, null or unenforceable, this part would be deemed to be divisible from all other provisions of these Terms of Use and would thus not affect the validity or enforceability of these other provisions, which would be interpreted without making reference to the removed section.
Any litigation resulting from or associated to the use of the Services or to these Terms of Use shall be subjected to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the province of Quebec or a federal Canadian court, in the judicial district of Montreal, despite any potential application of the principle of conflicting laws.
Some jurisdictions do not allow Terms of Use to be governed by the laws of a foreign jurisdiction and/or or prohibit the attribution of jurisdiction to a court. Accordingly, applicable laws of Quebec may not apply to you and the foregoing courts may not be the exclusive forum.
In all cases, the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, also known as the Vienna Convention, and any local implementing legislation related to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is hereby expressly excluded.
The Services are accessible through the use of the Internet and in standard Internet formats. The Company reserves the right to modify these formats at all times and it is the obligation of the user to procure, at their cost, access to the Internet as well as any software required to access the Services.
