Terms of service.

1. Parties and acceptance

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you (the "User", "you") and Mann Technologies Inc., an Ontario corporation with its registered office in Canada (the "Operator", "we", "our", "us"). The "Service" comprises this website, the related software, and the technical infrastructure on which lecturer or organisation content (the "Content") is made available through the platform.

By accessing or using the Service, by creating an account, or by signing in with a third-party authentication provider, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Notice. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

These Terms apply in addition to any separate terms agreed between you and the lecturer or organisation whose Content you view ("Lecturer Terms"). Lecturer Terms govern your relationship with the lecturer; these Terms govern your relationship with the Operator.

2. Description of the Service

The Service provides a software platform for the hosting and delivery of audiovisual classes, recordings, and related materials uploaded or referenced by the lecturer. The Operator provides the platform; the lecturer is responsible for the Content.

The Operator does not pre-screen Content for accuracy, legality, or suitability for any particular purpose. The Operator does, however, reserve the right to remove or disable access to Content in the circumstances set out in section 9 below.

3. Eligibility and account registration

To create an account you must be at least the minimum age at which you can validly enter into a binding contract under the laws of your country of residence and, where the General Data Protection Regulation applies, at least the minimum age for valid consent to information-society services in your Member State (16 years of age, or such lower age as your Member State has set under Article 8(1) GDPR; in no event below 13).

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account, to keep that information up to date, and to safeguard your authentication credentials. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify the Operator promptly of any unauthorised use or suspected breach of security.

You may not maintain more than one personal account, share an account with any other person, impersonate another person, or use the Service on behalf of a third party without proper authority.

4. Acceptable use and prohibited conduct

You agree not to engage in any of the following activities in connection with the Service:

• using the Service in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right, including intellectual-property rights;
• attempting to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service, any account other than your own, or any underlying infrastructure;
• interfering with, disrupting, or imposing an unreasonable load on the Service, including by means of denial-of-service traffic, automated scraping in excess of any robots.txt or rate limit we publish, or circumvention of technical measures;
• reproducing, distributing, transmitting, broadcasting, displaying, selling, licensing, or otherwise exploiting any Content for any purpose without the express prior written permission of the Lecturer or other rights-holder, save for personal, non-commercial study or fair-dealing / fair-use rights granted by applicable law;
• using the Service or any Content as input to train, fine-tune, or develop any artificial-intelligence model or dataset, except with the express prior written permission of the Lecturer;
• using the Service to harass, threaten, defame, stalk, or otherwise harm another person;
• uploading, transmitting, or distributing through the Service any unlawful, infringing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable material;
• circumventing or attempting to circumvent any geographic, age-based, or rights-based access restrictions applied to specific Content.

5. Intellectual property and Content rights

All right, title, and interest in and to the Content remains with the lecturer or the underlying rights-holder. The Operator does not claim ownership of the Content. The Operator holds a limited licence from each lecturer to host and deliver their Content through the Service.

You are granted a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access and view the Content for personal, non-commercial purposes solely through the Service. No other rights are granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

The Service itself, including all software, designs, trademarks, and other materials provided by the Operator (other than the Content), is owned by the Operator or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any such rights to you.

6. Service availability and changes

The Service is provided on an "as available" basis. The Operator takes reasonable steps to keep the Service operational but does not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, error-free, or free of malicious code. Scheduled maintenance, emergency repairs, third-party infrastructure outages, and unforeseen events may interrupt access.

The Operator may, at its discretion, add, modify, suspend, or remove features of the Service at any time. Where a change materially diminishes the functionality available to signed-in Users, the Operator will provide reasonable advance notice by email or by a prominent notice on the Service.

7. Fees

The Service is provided to the User free of charge by the Operator. The Operator does not charge the User for access to the Service. Where a Lecturer chooses to charge for access to specific Content or to solicit donations, those arrangements are between the User and the Lecturer and are governed by the Lecturer's separate terms.

8. Suspension and termination

You may close your account at any time using the in-app settings or by contacting us at legal [at] manntechnologies [dot] ca. Upon closure, the Operator will delete your personal data in accordance with the retention periods set out in the Privacy Notice.

The Operator may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service, with or without prior notice, where the Operator reasonably determines that:

• you have materially breached these Terms;
• continued provision of the Service to you would expose the Operator, the Lecturer, or other Users to legal liability or material risk of harm;
• your account is being used to engage in fraudulent or illegal activity;
• the Operator is required to do so by law, regulation, or valid order of a competent authority;
• the Operator ceases to provide the Service generally or in your jurisdiction.

9. Content moderation, illegal content notices, and statements of reasons

In line with Articles 14 and 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (the Digital Services Act), the Operator maintains a notice-and-action mechanism allowing any person to report Content that they consider to be illegal under applicable EU or Member State law.

To submit a notice, please send the following to dsa [at] manntechnologies [dot] ca: (a) a sufficiently substantiated explanation of why you consider the Content to be illegal; (b) a clear indication of the precise electronic location of that Content (URL); (c) your name and email address (unless the notice concerns content potentially involving offences referred to in Articles 3–7 of Directive 2011/93/EU, in which case the notice may remain anonymous); and (d) a statement of good faith that the information provided is accurate and complete.

Where the Operator restricts the visibility of, suspends, or removes Content following a notice, the Operator will provide the affected User and (where applicable) the Lecturer with a clear and specific statement of reasons for that decision in line with Article 17 DSA, including information on available redress mechanisms.

The Operator's single point of contact for the purposes of Articles 11 and 12 DSA is: dsa [at] manntechnologies [dot] ca. English is an accepted language for communications with this point of contact.

10. Disclaimers

Subject to section 11 below, the Service and the Content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator disclaims all warranties, conditions, and representations of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, non-infringement, and quiet enjoyment.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Operator does not warrant that the Content is accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any particular purpose. The Operator does not provide medical, legal, financial, professional, or rabbinical advice. You should consult a qualified professional in respect of any matter on which Content might be relevant before relying on it.

11. Limitation of liability

Subject to the carve-out below, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator's aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), under statute, or on any other basis, shall not exceed (a) where the User has paid the Operator a fee in respect of the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, the amount of that fee; or (b) in any other case, fifty Euro (€50) or its equivalent.

In no event shall the Operator be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated savings, or data, in each case arising out of or in connection with the Service, even if the Operator has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms operates to exclude or limit liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by the Operator's negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (c) any matter for which it would be unlawful to exclude or restrict liability under applicable law, including without limitation any non-excludable rights of consumers under EU Member State law and any liability arising under Directive (EU) 2024/2853 on liability for defective products (the "Revised Product Liability Directive") to the extent applicable; or (d) gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Where you are a consumer ordinarily resident in the European Union, your statutory consumer rights under your country of residence apply to your use of the Service in addition to these Terms. Nothing in these Terms restricts those rights.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Operator, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all third-party claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your unlawful use of the Service or any Content; or (c) your infringement of any third-party right, including intellectual-property and privacy rights. The Operator will provide reasonable notice of any such claim and will reasonably cooperate in the defence at your expense.

This section does not apply to consumers ordinarily resident in the European Union to the extent that it would conflict with non-excludable provisions of consumer law in their country of residence.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The courts of the Province of Ontario shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms.

Where you are a consumer ordinarily resident in the European Union, the choice of law in this section does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence (Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 — Rome I), and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence as provided by Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 — Brussels I bis.

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. The Operator is not obliged and does not commit to participating in alternative dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board.

14. Changes to these Terms

The Operator may amend these Terms from time to time, including to reflect changes in the Service or in applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Where an amendment materially affects your rights, the Operator will provide reasonable advance notice — typically not less than thirty (30) days — by email or by a prominent notice on the Service. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop using the Service and may close your account; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the amendments.

15. General

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its intended effect.

No waiver. A failure or delay by the Operator to exercise any right under these Terms is not a waiver of that right.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms or your rights under them without the Operator's prior written consent. The Operator may assign these Terms to any successor in interest in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets, on prior notice to you.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Notice and any documents expressly referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Operator with respect to the Service and supersede any prior agreement on the same subject.

Notices. Notices to the Operator must be sent to legal [at] manntechnologies [dot] ca. Notices to you may be sent to the email address associated with your account or by prominent in-service notice.
