All User Content is entirely voluntary and reflects only the opinion of the person who submitted it and does not necessarily reflect the views of PHI. You agree that the User Content that you may provide will not violate any right of any third-party, including copyright, and that it will not contain libelous or otherwise unlawful, abusive or obscene material, or contain any computer virus or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the Site.

Subject to our Privacy Policy, all User Content will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. You hereby grant to PHI a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, and royalty-free license to use, display, publish, reproduce, copy, distribute, modify, edit, translate, and otherwise exploit your User Content in all media and formats, including for promotional and advertising purposes.

Please review our Privacy Policy carefully.

PHI Proprietary Material

PHI, together with its affiliates, related entities, suppliers, providers and licensors, exclusively own and retain all rights, title and interest in and to, including any copyrights and other intellectual property rights into: (i) the Site; (ii) the content used, displayed, transmitted, communicated or made available by PHI on the Site (including software, materials, formats, slogans, interfaces, information, text, data, graphics, images, pictures, video, icons, audio, music, data compilations, computer code, design, arrangement, etc.) (collectively, the “PHI Content”); and (iii) all trademarks (registered or not), product names, service marks, brand names, logos and other business identifiers appearing on the Site or on the products or services offered via the Site, including without limitation, PHI, PHI Centre, PHI Foundation and PHI Studio (collectively, the “PHI Marks”). The Site, the PHI Content and the PHI Marks are collectively referred to herein as the “PHI Proprietary Material”).

You are strictly forbidden from using, storing, reproducing, publishing, redistributing, transmitting, selling, downloading, or otherwise copying, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, the PHI Proprietary Material, for any reason, on any media or in any format whatsoever, now known or hereafter devised, without the prior written consent of PHI. Any modification or alteration to, digital enhancement of, or creation of any derivative works from, any PHI Proprietary Material is also strictly prohibited.

These Terms of Use, or your access or use of the Site, do not grant you any right, title or interest in the PHI Proprietary Material and PHI retains all rights with respect thereto. The PHI Proprietary Material is protected by Canadian and international intellectual property right laws and other applicable laws, including those related to copyright, trademark, patent, or trade secret. Any unauthorized use of the PHI Proprietary Material constitutes a breach of these Terms of Use and may constitute a violation of applicable laws.

PHI Content

PHI uses reasonable efforts to ensure that the Site is regularly updated, and that the information contained on the Site is accurate and reliable. However, despite its efforts, PHI cannot guarantee that the Site will be free of errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, and therefore, PHI declines all responsibility in this regard. PHI reserves the right but has no obligation, except to the extent required by applicable law, to update, change, remove, clarify, or correct any information or content of the Site (including without limitation, pricing information) at any time and without notice. For greater certainty, a modification to the pricing after your purchase or rental will not affect such purchase or rental.

You understand that by using the Site, you may come across content that may be considered offensive, vulgar, indecent, or otherwise objectionable, which content may or may not be identified as explicit. Your use of the Site is at your sole risk and PHI will not be liable to you for content that you found to be offensive, vulgar, indecent, or otherwise objectionable.

Third-Party Material

We may, at our sole discretion, include content, advertisements, sponsorships, promotions and/or hyperlinks on the Site, which give you access to other websites, tools, content, products, or services owned or operated by third parties (the “Third-Party Material”). You acknowledge and agree that PHI will not be liable for, and does not offer any warranty as to, the accuracy, completeness, security, or legality of any such Third-Party Material. The inclusion of such Third-Party Material do not imply any endorsement, approval, or guarantee from PHI of any information, content or representation made therein, nor that PHI is associated with such Third-Party Material or that PHI is legally authorized to use it.

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for and assume all risk associated with your access and use of any such Third-Party Material (including any transactions made thereto). You may be subject to terms, conditions, and policies from third parties when you access or use the Third-Party Material and these Terms of Use may no longer apply. Please review such other terms, conditions, and policies from these third parties carefully.

Disclaimer of Warranty

Your access and use of the Site are at your own risk. You acknowledge that the Site is provided to you on an “as is” and “as available” basis. PHI makes no representations and disclaims all expressed and implied warranties, guarantees and conditions of any kind, including without limitation, representations, warranties or conditions regarding the integrity, consistency, usefulness, reliability, accuracy, availability, timeliness, completeness, non-infringement, uninterrupted or error-free operation, security, legality, suitability, merchantability, fitness for any particular purpose, absence of computer viruses or other harmful components, or other quality of any part or component of the Site or the PHI Proprietary Material, and any guarantees arising from law, statute, usage of trade, established business practices or course of performance. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of consumers, so the above exclusion and limitations may not apply to you.

Some of the information or description provided on the Site may constitute or include a recommendation, judgment, or opinion, and you understand that those are provided to you for indicative purposes only. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from PHI (or any of its affiliates, related entities, suppliers, providers, and licensors, or any of their respective employees, agents or representatives) through the Site, PHI’s channels on social media platforms, PHI’s blog or a PHI’s promotional email or newsletter, will create any warranty not expressly made herein.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, PHI, its affiliates, related entities, suppliers, providers, and licensors, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors and representatives, will not be liable to you or any third party for any damages, injury, loss or claim, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential, even if we are aware of the possibility, including without limitation, any damages for loss of use, data, revenue or profits, directly or indirectly resulting from or related to: (a) any access to your account, by you or anyone else, or any inability to access your account, or any activity performed through your account; (b) your access or use of the Site, or any services or tools made available via the Site, including our Box Office or online store, or any inability to use the same; (c) your subscription to, purchase, rental or use of goods, services or products offered by PHI via the Site; (d) any PHI Content; (e) any errors, inaccuracies or omissions contained on the Site, the PHI Content, or any Third-Party Material; or (f) any failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, communication failure, delay in operation or in transmission, defect, theft, virus, destruction, unauthorized use or access to, alteration or shutdown of the Site.

PHI will not under any circumstances be liable to you or any third party for any losses or damages whatsoever to your system, computers, devices, other hardware, or data contained thereon, and expressly disclaims any such liability.

You agree that your exclusive and sole remedy against PHI under these Terms of Use is to stop using the Site.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold PHI, its affiliates, related entities, suppliers, providers, and licensors, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and representatives, harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and legal expenses) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your breach of these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, our Terms of Sale or VR To Go Rental Terms, as applicable; (b) any access to your account by you or anyone else, and any activity performed through your account; (c) your User Content; (d) any violation by you of our intellectual property rights in the PHI Proprietary Material; or (e) any violation by you of any law or rights of a third-party.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any claim subject to indemnification, and you agree to assist and cooperate with PHI, on request, in the settlement or defense of any such claim.

Duration and Termination

These Terms of Use are effective and binding on you from the date you use the Site and will end when terminated by you or us in accordance with the provisions stated herein. Any provisions of these Terms of Use, which by their meaning are intended to survive the termination of such Terms of Use (including, without limitation, PHI Proprietary Material, Disclaimer of Warranty, Limitation of Liability, and Indemnification), will so survive.

PHI may, in its sole discretion, suspend, remove, discontinue, or disable access to the Site (or any part, feature or content thereof) at any time and for whatever reason, without notice. If you violate any provisions of these Terms of Use or the rights of any third party, PHI may also, at its sole discretion, with or without notice to you, terminate these Terms of Use and your right to access and use the Site (or any part thereof) and/or deactivate your account. PHI will not be liable to you or any third party for exercising any such rights, and such rights will not limit any other rights and remedies that PHI may have contractually, at law or in equity.

Upon termination of these Terms of Use, you agree to cease all use of the Site.

You may also cease to use the Site or terminate your account at any time.

Force Majeure

PHI will be relieved of its obligations stipulated herein if and for so long as it is unable or prevented from performing such obligations by circumstances beyond its reasonable control (including without limitation, government order or act, labour dispute, failure of transmission facilities, electrical outages, network failure, Act of God, or pandemic).

Entire Agreement, Severability and Waiver

These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy, the Terms of Sale and the VR To Go Rental Terms, when applicable, constitute the entire agreement between you and PHI with respect to your use of the Site, and supersede any prior agreements or understandings between you and PHI, whether oral or written.

These Terms of Use shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of both you and PHI, and any respective successors, permitted assigns, legal representatives, heirs, and trustees.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is determined to be illegal, inapplicable, or unenforceable by applicable law or a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use.

The failure to exercise or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of the right to subsequently exercise or enforce such provision or any other provisions of these Terms of Use.

Governing Law

These Terms of Use, and all activities conducted through the Site, are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and any federal laws of Canada applicable thereto, without regard to any conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply in any way to these Terms of Use or to any activities contemplated by these Terms of Use.

You expressly agree that any claim or dispute relating to these Terms of Use, or to your access or use of, or inability to access or use, the Site (including any part thereof or any PHI Content), will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the judicial district of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
