Any such terms will become a part of this Agreement. If you do not agree to any such term, your only remedy is not to complete the order. All amounts due will be paid in CAD Dollars. However, we will not increase pricing for any Services that you are currently receiving unless we provide notice to you via email with an option for you to opt-out and cancel your membership.
c. Subscription Service

You hereby agree to any such increase as a condition to our allowing your membership to renew. Any such increase will be communicated to you after you have renewed but you can always contact us prior to your membership expiration date to find out what, if any, mandatory pricing increase will be in your subscription renewal.
Other Membership Changes. In addition to our automatic price increases, we may seek to further increase your subscription pricing or otherwise change your subscription terms but, in that case, we will notify you and you may decline to accept such change and terminate your membership.

d. Payment
Your Order Form or online purchase path will state whether your Services will be payable automatically or via an invoicing process.
Automatic Billing. For automatic billing, by providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of any order made to your Services account. We may issue a charge authorization after you place your order and charge you at a later point and/or we may charge you immediately upon purchase. If your payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your order may be refused, suspended, or cancelled. If you want to change or update your payment information, when you make your next purchase, you can choose to add a new card or payment method and swap it at that time. You may also contact our customer care at support@DashQ.io.

You may not terminate prior to the expiration of the term of your paid-for Services.

In the event you or we terminate your Agreement before the end of your current term, you will be responsible for all charges remaining on your Agreement.

In the event of any dispute concerning the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including any action instituted to enforce this Fees provision, then the prevailing party shall be entitled to all costs incurred, including collection agency costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
In all cases, DashQ may also at its sole option terminate or suspend any and all Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any or no reason, including without limitation if DashQ has a good faith belief that you have (i) breached any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement; (ii)repeatedly or purposefully posted inaccurate or outdated User Information; or (iii) failed to honor appointments booked using the Services.

Following any termination of Services, you will remain liable for any obligations incurred or charges accrued prior to the termination. As stated earlier, you will not be permitted to re-activate any terminated Services account (or open a new account) if you or anyone under your control still has a delinquent prior Services account.
Upon termination, we may, but will not be obligated to continue to store any of your User Content and other data relating to your account.
g. Dispute Resolution; Governing Law; Venue
You and DashQ agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Services, this Agreement and any Order Form or other agreement or understanding entered into between you and DashQ will be determined by binding arbitration (or, if we deem the amount to be small enough in small claims court, at our choosing). You agree that, by agreeing this Agreement, the Commercial Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your use of or membership to the Services.
To seek arbitration or to file a small claim court action against DashQ, you must first send to DashQ, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim, including a description of the basis for the claim and the relief being sought, to: General Counsel, Digirealty Technologies, 401A Golden Avenue Ottawa, ON K2A 1H4. If we initiate arbitration, we will send a similar written notice to the email address used for your Services account. Following either party’s receipt of such a written notice, the parties agree to first use reasonable efforts to reach an amicable resolution to the claim. However, if the parties cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the notice is received, you or DashQ may commence an arbitration proceeding (or, at our discretion if we think the matter is small enough, file a claim in small claims court.)
The arbitrator will be bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues will be for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless the parties agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the greater Toronto area.
Further, unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
YOU AND DASHQ AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
YOU AND DASHQ FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES OR THE APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS PERIOD. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.
A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, excluding its conflicts of law rules, and Canada. Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be finally settled by the Province of Ontario. Use of the Services is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation, this section.
