GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

Unless the applicable laws of your jurisdiction, such as Quebec, require that the laws of your jurisdiction govern, you hereby agree that (a) all aspects of the relationship between you and Mediphone (as well as its agents, delegates, employees, and any Health Care Practitioners or PHAs), including without limitation any Health Services of Support Services provided to you, and (b) the resolution of any and all disputes arising from or in connection with that relationship, including any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms of Use, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province of Alberta (other than conflict of laws rules) and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

These laws apply to your access to or use of the Platform or the Content, notwithstanding your domicile, residency or physical location. The Platform and the Content are intended for use only in jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for use. If any provision of the present Terms of Use shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then such provision shall be severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms of Use shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, which is expressly excluded and you also expressly agree to exclude the applicability of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. A printed copy of these Terms of Use and of any notice in electronic form shall be admissible in any judicial or administrative proceedings to the same extent and under the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

A printed version of these Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

Headings are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect the construction or interpretation of these Terms of Use. The word ‘including’ or ‘includes’ means ‘including (or includes) without limitation’.

Mediphone’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use will not be construed as a waiver of any provisions or right.

If any of the provisions contained in these Terms of Use are determined to be void, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination will not affect the remaining provisions contained herein.
