individuals, partnerships, associations, trusts, unincorporated organizations
and corporations.
d. Waiver. No waiver by CanadaQA, whether by conduct or otherwise, of a
breach or threatened breach by you of any term or condition of this Agreement
shall be effective against, or binding upon, CanadaQA unless made in writing and
duly signed by CanadaQA, and, unless otherwise provided in the written waiver,
shall be limited to the specific breach waived. The failure of CanadaQA to
enforce at any time any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be
construed to be a waiver of such provision or of the right of CanadaQA to
enforce such provision at any other time.
e. Notices. All notices or other communications to be given by either you
or CanadaQA Borrowers shall be in writing in the English language and may be
given personally, by telecopy or by registered or certified mail and, if mailed,
shall be deemed given ten (10) business days after the letter is deposited in
the mail, during normal postal conditions throughout such period.
f. Severability. If any term or condition of this Agreement is finally
determined by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or
incapable of being enforced, all such terms or conditions shall be deemed
severed from this Agreement, but every other term or condition of this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect, and in substitution for any such term or
condition held unlawful, there shall be substituted a term or condition of
similar import reflecting the original intent of CanadaQA to the extent
permissible under law.
g. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or
obligations hereunder may be assigned by you without the prior written consent
of CanadaQA, which consent may be withheld by CanadaQA in its sole and entire
unfettered discretion. CanadaQA may, without your consent, assign all or any
portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to any third party by posting
written notice to this effect on the Site and/or in connection with the CanadaQA
Services. In such case, all Users shall be irrevocably deemed to have first
entered into this Agreement with such third party as of the date the Site first
became operational, and not CanadaQA, and shall not therefore have any further
claim or recourse against CanadaQA of any kind.
h. Headings. The division of this Agreement into paragraphs and
sub-paragraphs and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference
only, and shall not affect or be utilized in the construction or interpretation
of this agreement. The terms "this Agreement", "hereof", "hereunder" and similar
expressions refer to this Agreement and not to any particular paragraph or
sub-paragraph or other portion hereof and include any agreement supplemental
hereto. Unless the subject matter or context is inconsistent therewith,
references herein to paragraphs and sub-paragraphs are to paragraphs and
sub-paragraphs of this Agreement.
i. Other Rules. CanadaQA may have additional or other rules that govern
your access to or use of the Site and/or the CanadaQA Services, and may change
such rules at any time or from time to time. Those rules will be made available
to your prior to or at the time of your access to or use of the Site and/or the
CanadaQA Services. Please read those rules carefully.
j. Governing law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and governed by the
laws in force from time to time in the State of New York, USA, without regard to
principles of conflict of laws that would result in the application of different
law. In particular, such laws currently include the Communications Decency Act,
section 230 of which provides that "No provider or user of an interactive
computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information
provided by another information content provider". Nevertheless, and in addition
to the foregoing, you agree to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the
Courts located in judicial district of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, being the

GOVERNING THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR TO THE CHOICE OF THE COURTS LOCATED IN THE
JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF MONTREAL AS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE VENUE TO HEAR AND
RESOLVE ANY ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND, SUIT OR PROCEEDING AGAINST CanadaQA IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SITE, ANY AND ALL POSTINGS THEREON, THE CanadaQA SERVICES OR
THIS AGREEMENT.
