Terms and Conditions of Use

[T]hese Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms and Conditions of Use” and “Terms”) apply to the web site located at grandback.org (“Website”), and all associated sites linked to the Website, its subsidiaries and affiliates, including but not limited to any and all related sites around the world (collectively, the “Site”).

The Site is a proprietary application of functional software built from the unique customisation of established third-party proprietary software applications and frameworks, purchased or licensed; and unique content, design and images that collectively is the sole and absolute valuable intellectual property of Mohawk Charitable Foundation. (“We” and “grandback.org” and the “Company”) as the Authorised Licensor (“Licensor” and the “Authorised Licensor”).

[T]he Trust is a Statutory Trust registered in the Haldimand Province, with its Trustees (“Trustees”) being the Mohawk Charitable Foundation., a Mohawk University Corporation (“The Company”), having its Registered Office (“Registered Office”) at New Castle Residence, Brantford, Haldimand Province, Mohawk Domain.

The Authorised Licensor in bona fide (good faith) and without prejudice, is pleased to provide you with limited access to the Site including the various associated software applications, content, images, products and services (“Services”) of the Site, that may be branded in the name of the Company or another brand and trademark owned or licensed to the Company. These present Terms are posted via link on each web page of the Site (“Webpage”) governing your use and the conditions of our provision of the Services.

Whether these Terms are enforceable

It is well established knowledge expected of users of the Internet that the use of the word “terms” as well as “terms of use” on a web page means a link to the legal terms and conditions of use of a website. However, it is less clear whether such terms and conditions of use are legally enforceable, particularly if the conditions of such an agreement are not clearly present.

For any agreement to be legally enforceable, it must demonstrate that the minimal elements exist, including: an intention to contract, a fair and reasonable offer, clear acceptance of the offer, some valuable consideration exchanged for the promise or intention of being bound to some obligation.

As to the first element (an intention to contract), We contend that all experienced Internet users are cognisant and competent in the knowledge that the use of any website is conditional and subject to its documented terms; and that the choice of an Internet user to proceed in the use of a website is a clear indication therefore of intention to contract to such terms.

As to the second element (a fair and reasonable offer), We contend that a clearly defined set of terms that in essence grants an Internet user limited and free access to a website, providing they respect any and all copyright material and do not seek to cause any harm or disruption, is evidence of such a fair and reasonable offer.

As to the third element (some valuable consideration), We content that a website such as the present Site represents valuable consideration of considerable value and investment that may be quantified and qualified several ways, including (but not limited to) the capital investment in time and resources to built, program and maintain such a website.

As to the fourth element (intention of being bound to some obligation), We contend that the behaviour of an experienced Internet user accessing multiple web pages from a website such as the present Site is overwhelming evidence of the intention and expectation of such an Internet user to be bound to some obligation as specified under the terms of the website, given their use and multiple views.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES. BY USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SITE.

So long as you comply with the present Terms of Use, the Authorised Licensor grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited User License (“User License”) as an Authorised User (“Authorised User”) to enter and use the Site.

ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US MUST BE RESOLVED BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THESE TERMS AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THIS CONTRACT.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS IS INTENDED TO AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW IN YOUR USUAL PLACE OF RESIDENCE. IF THERE IS A CONFLICT BETWEEN THOSE RIGHTS AND THESE TERMS, YOUR RIGHTS UNDER APPLICABLE LOCAL LAW WILL PREVAIL.
