If you do not agree with these Terms, you may not access our Sites or order, receive or use any products and services that may be made available through the Sites.

These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with us in respect of any products, services or otherwise. If you are using the Sites on behalf of any person or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept these Terms on such person or entity’s behalf, in which case the terms “you”, “user” or “your” shall refer to such entity, and that such person or entity agrees to be responsible to us if you or such person or entity violates these Terms.

We reserve the right to change or modify any aspect of these Terms or the Sites at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make changes to these Terms, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms and provide notice to you where required by applicable law. By continuing to access or use the Sites, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree with the revised Terms, please do not use the Sites. We encourage you to review the Terms frequently to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Sites.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

We attempt to display our products and services and other materials and information you view on the sites, including any pricing and product and service descriptions, as accurately as possible. However, we do not guarantee the accuracy of such materials and information. In the event of an error on our sites, in an order confirmation, in processing or delivering an order or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly (including charging the correct price) or to cancel your order and issue you a refund. The sites many contain information about products and services that are not available in every location. A reference to a product or service on the sites does not imply or guarantee that it is or will be available in your location or at the time of your order.

The sites and content are provided on an “As Is” basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including, without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement as to the sites and content, any warranties that arise from trade usage or custom, and any warranties that the sites or content will be free and clear from any adverse lien or security interests. Some provinces/territories do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties, so these exclusions and limitations of warranties may not apply to you.

We reserve the right to change any and all Content and to modify, suspend or stop providing access to the Sites (or any features or functionality of the Sites) at any time without notice. Reference to any products, services, processes or other information by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier, vendor or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship or recommendation thereof, or any affiliation therewith, by us.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Primo be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including, but not limited to, loss of revenue, income or profits, loss of use or data, loss or diminution in value of assets or securities, or damages for business interruption) arising out of or in any way related to the access to or use of the sites or content (including, but not limited to, third party content and links to third party sites), or otherwise related to these terms (including, but not limited to, any damages caused by or resulting from reliance on any information obtained from Primo, or from events beyond Primo’s reasonable control, such as site interruptions, deletions of files or emails, errors or omissions, defects, bugs, viruses, trojan horses, delays in operation or transmission or any failure of performance, whether or not resulting from Acts of God, communications failure, theft, destruction or unauthorized access to records, programs or systems), regardless of the form of action, whether based in contract, tort (including, but not limited to, simple negligence, whether active, passive or imputed) or any other legal or equitable theory (even if the party has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable), in any event, Primo’s liability shall not exceed the price you paid to Primo for goods and/or services that you have purchased during the 3 months preceding the event giving rise to the liability. The limitations set forth in this section will not limit or exclude liability of Primo for our fraud, gross negligence or intentional, willful, malicious or reckless misconduct.

17. Modifications to the Sites

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Sites (or any features or parts thereof) at any time.

18. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

(Not Applicable to Quebec “Consumers” as defined by the Consumer Protection Act, unless a dispute arises after you have accepted these Terms and you accept to refer the dispute to arbitration rather than seizing a court of competent jurisdiction in your province.)Please read the following section carefully because to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Primo and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

If there is any dispute, controversy or claim which arises out of or relates to these Terms, the Site or the Content (collectively, “Disputes”), then to the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to resolve such dispute by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator in Toronto, Canada in accordance with the Arbitration Act (Ontario). You understand and acknowledge that by agreeing to binding arbitration, you are giving up the right to litigate (as a party or class member) all disputes in court before a judge or jury. It is important that you understand that the arbitrator’s decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we each agree that any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class or representative action or as a member in a class, consolidated, private attorney general or representative action.

The foregoing requirement for arbitration in Toronto shall not apply to any Disputes arising out of or related to a violation by you of Section 11 or Disputes in which Primo seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, and in such a case Primo may seek such remedies in any jurisdiction having a real and substantial connection to you or the alleged infringement.

Except for disputes arising out of or related to a violation of Section 11 or disputes in which Primo seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Primo agree that any dispute must be commenced or filed by you or Primo within one (1) year of the date the dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you and Primo will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the dispute).

19. Governing Law and Venue

(Not Applicable to Quebec “Consumers” as defined by the Consumer Protection Act.) These Terms and your access to and use of the Sites shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Subject to the preceding section, any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration, shall be resolved in the courts of the Province of Ontario.

If you are a Quebec Consumer, then then these Terms and your access to and use of the Sites shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Quebec, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

20. Termination of Access

Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Sites at any time and for any or no reason.

21. Severability

If any term, clause or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause or provision, or any other term, clause or provision of these Terms.

22. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and Primo relating to your access to and use of the Sites. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Primo but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction and without notice to you. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will constitute a waiver of such provision in any prior, concurrent or subsequent circumstance, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
