Last Updated on February 16, 2022

BOOKJANE CAREGIVER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These BookJane User Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement that governs your relationship with BookJane Inc. (“BookJane”, “we”, “us”, “our” and terms of similar meaning), regarding your use of our website hosted at http://bookjane.com (the “Website”) and our web-based and iOS and Android applications (each an “Application” and collectively, the “Applications”), whether licensed, downloaded or otherwise accessed through third party sites or sources and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

If you are using the Service on behalf of, or in the employ of, an organization (corporation, trust, partnership, etc.), you are agreeing to the Terms for that organization and representing and warranting that you have the authority to bind that organization to the Terms. In such a case, references herein to, “you”, “your”, “user” and “User” will also refer to that organization and yourself individually. For greater clarity, both you as an individual and your organization are legally bound by the Terms which form an agreement between you and BookJane.

By entering into these Terms and/or accessing or using the Service, you expressly acknowledge that you understand these Terms and accept all of its terms and conditions. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE. In consideration for permitting you access to the Service and for other good and valuable consideration, you agree as follows:

  1. About the Service

The Service permits health care facilities (including without limitation, hospitals, health care clinics, senior homes, child care centres, etc.) (each a “Client” and collectively, the “Clients”) to connect with and book physicians (each a “Physician User” and collectively the “Physician Users”) and other health care professionals and service providers (each a “Healthcare User” and collectively, the “Healthcare Users”) to provide health care related services (“Care Services”). Collectively, the Physician Users and the Healthcare Users shall be referred to herein as “Users” and each as a “User”.

The Service merely facilitates the connection of you, a User, with the Clients and assists in the logistics and, if applicable, payment process. As such, you acknowledge that we do not provide Care Services ourselves and that all such Care Services are provided by Physician Users who are independent third-party practitioners or contractors and by Healthcare Users who are employees or contractors of agencies that manage a team of Healthcare Users (each, an “Agency” and collectively, the “Agencies”). Users are not employed by BookJane or any of our affiliates. BookJane is not and will not be a party to any agreement between the Users and the Clients for work to be performed, whether that agreement is formed via the Service or elsewhere. Clients, Agencies and Users may contract or negotiate additional terms of any services agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of the Terms.

Once you create an Account (as defined below), or, if you are a Healthcare User, once an Agency invites you to create an Account, a profile is created for you and you can use the Service to be booked by a Client as follows: (a) Clients can search for and contact you directly (“Direct Contact”); and/or (b) you can apply for a job through a posting made by a Client (a “Posting”). Only Postings that you are eligible and qualified to apply for based on your Verifying Information and Registration Data (as such terms are defined below) shall be presented to you through the Service. If you are a Healthcare User, you can only view Postings based on the Care Services that your Agency has approved you as qualified to perform. When you apply to a Posting, there could be other User(s) that also apply to the same Posting and it is at the Client’s sole discretion to select which User(s) it would like to engage. In order for a Client to book a User, the Client must submit a booking request to the User. You or your Agency, as applicable, have the right to accept or decline any booking request. If you accept a booking request, a booking confirmation will be sent to you through the Application and/or the email address registered on your Account or provided in your Registration Data. If you are a Healthcare User, you agree that all Care Services you provide to a Client as a result of the Service must and will be processed through the Service. If you are a Healthcare User, each individual booking you make through the Service must be for at least three (3) hours.

  1. Privacy Policy and Other Agreements

We will collect some of your personal information to create your Account (as defined below). All personal information collected, used or disclosed while using the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy located at https://bookjane.com/privacy (“Privacy Policy”, which is incorporated by reference and hereinafter included in the definition of “Terms”). By using the Service, you agree to our use, collection and disclosure of personally identifiable information in accordance with the Privacy Policy. In addition, by using the Service, you agree to be bound by any additional policies, guidelines, rules, obligations and/or agreements communicated through the Service (even if they are not identified in the Terms) which may be published on the Service.

  1. User Accounts; Registration Data, Verifying Information and Account Security

You may browse the public facing sections of our Website and/or Applications without establishing an account or providing us with any personal and/or business information. To become a User, use the Service and be booked by a Client, you must apply for and register for an account (“Account”). If you are a Healthcare User, you must be invited by an Agency to become a User and create an Account. In order to establish an Account, you will be required to provide certain personal information, as set out in our Privacy Policy, the Terms and on the Service.

We may also allow you to create an Account by connecting an existing account you have with a third-party provider, including, without limitation, Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Yahoo and others (a “Third-Party Provider Account”). If you elect to establish your Account through a Third-Party Provider Account, you agree to permit us to collect the personal information such Third-Party Provider sends us to establish your Account.

Upon registering for an Account, you agree to (a) provide accurate, current and complete information as may be prompted through a Third-Party Provider Account or on any registration forms on the Service (“Registration Data”); (b) maintain the security of your password; (c) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data, and any other information you provide to the Service, and to keep it accurate, current and complete; and (d) accept all risks of unauthorized access to the Registration Data and any other information you provide to the Service.

By connecting to the Service through a Third-Party Provider Account, you understand that we may access, store, and make available content from your Third-Party Provider Account according to the permission settings of your Third-Party Provider Account (including, without limitation, friends, mutual friends, contacts or following/followed lists). You understand that your Third-Party Provider Account content may be available on and through the Service to other users of the Service. Unless otherwise specified in the Terms, all of your Third-Party Provider Account content, if any, shall be considered to form part of your Registration Data.

In order to apply for and register for an Account, the User may be required to submit additional information to the Service (“Verifying Information”), which may be accessed by other users of the Service. Such information includes, but is not limited to, the Credentials (as defined below) and all information and documentation related thereto. Upon submission of such Verifying Information, BookJane may indicate to other users of the Service that you have submitted such Verifying Information. You hereby consent and permit us to send, give and/or present your Verifying Information to other users of the Service. You also consent to posting or having your information posted on your profile that we and other users of the Service will have access to and be able to view.

If you establish an Account with us, access to your Account is not transferrable. You may not allow other persons or entities to use your Account, and you agree that you are the sole authorized user of your Account. You agree that you are responsible for any activity on your Account, whether or not you authorized that activity. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your Account. You may not impersonate any other person or entity while using the Service. We will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this obligation.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years old; you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into and abide by the Terms; and you have read and understand the Terms and agree to be bound by them.

With respect to our provision of the Service, Clients can only register for an account and be active on the Service if they confirm that they possess, have and maintain all appropriate, up-to-date, valid and required licenses, credentials, approvals and authorizations to operate a health care facility in Canada and in the province(s) in which they operate (collectively, the “Client Credentials”) and operate in accordance with all applicable laws. We will provide you or your Agency with any information related to the Client Credentials that we are authorized to give you or your Agency and that we order and/or receive (a) through third-party providers; and/or (b) when Clients register for an account to use the Service (collectively the ”Client Verifying Information”). BookJane does not guarantee the legality or accuracy of any Client Verifying Information. You are encouraged to independently request and review such Client Verifying Information prior to relying on it. You are solely responsible for your use of or reliance on any Client Verifying Information.

While we take certain measures to screen account access to potential Clients, including, without limitation, requesting and obtaining Client Verifying Information, you acknowledge that such measures may not be exhaustive or reveal all details of a Client’s past or unlawful conduct. You are responsible for vetting and conducting your own due diligence on any Client you accept a booking with through the Service. You agree that the entire risk arising out of your engagement by a Client and rendering of Care Services remains solely with you, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. BookJane does not guarantee the quality, suitability and/or reputation of the Clients. We are not responsible for nor do we have control over the work environment, quality of work, employees, contractors, patients and overall working conditions at a Client’s facility.

If you have any problems or concerns with a Client, please notify BookJane in writing through the Service or at info@bookjane.com. For the purpose of monitoring and providing quality assurance for the Service, BookJane may, but is under no obligation to, make follow-up visits or calls to a Client’s facility, at a mutually agreeable time, on an as-needed basis, as determined in the sole discretion of BookJane.

You represent and warrant that all information you provide to us, your Agency or any user of the Service, whether at the time you establish your Account or thereafter, is true, accurate and not misleading. You consent and permit us to obtain criminal background checks and other searches and verification checks from your Agency. All fees associated with such background checks and other searches shall be your sole responsibility. The results of the background checks, other searches and/or any other information and documentation we obtain about or from you or your Agency may impact whether or not you are eligible to use the Service and whether we accept your Account application and we retain the right, in our sole discretion, to accept, refuse and/or remove you from the Service based on such results. As well, without further notice to you, the results of such background checks, other searches and/or any other information and documentation we obtain about or from you may either be (a) displayed on the Service for other users of the Service to see; and/or (b) sent to a Client upon their request.

  1. Further Agreements

If we suspect that you have engaged in any fraudulent activity, we may, as applicable, withhold applicable fees or other payments for bookings in question.

Under no circumstances shall you hold yourself out as or be considered an agent, employee, joint venture, or partner of BookJane.

You are free to provide (a) Care Services to multiple Clients, as booked through the Service, subject to the Terms; and/or (b) services to other health care facilities who have not contacted you through the Service. Nothing herein is intended to or shall be construed as creating any exclusive agreement with a Client or BookJane. These Terms shall not restrict you from acquiring similar, equal or like services from other entities, sources or providers. You shall supply and use your own equipment necessary to effectively provide Care Services.

You agree to pay all applicable federal and provincial taxes based on your provision of the Care Services or in any way related to the Terms. You are responsible for reporting any and all income to the relevant authorities in your home (or any other applicable) jurisdiction. You agree that neither we nor the Released Parties (as defined below) shall have any liability or responsibility for the withholding, collection or payment of any taxes, employment insurance premiums, pension plan contributions, benefits or any other deductions or withholdings, if and as applicable, on any amounts paid to you through the Service. You agree to indemnify us and the Released Parties from any and all claims, penalties, fees or other liabilities in respect of your failure to withhold and/or remit any applicable taxes, employment insurance premiums, pension plan contributions, benefits or similar deductions or withholdings.

  1. Fees for Healthcare Users

The Service facilitates payments from Clients to Agencies for work completed by their Healthcare Users, as booked through the Service. BookJane shall charge certain Clients for the Fees (as defined below) and any applicable taxes. BookJane shall then remit to your Agency the Fees and any applicable taxes.

The Service provides for non-negotiable hourly rates for each Healthcare User (the “Rates”). The Rates are determined by BookJane based on the kind of Care Services being provided and the associated industry standard rates. The Rates may change (increase or decrease) at any time at BookJane’s sole discretion. Upon accepting a booking through the Service, you expressly acknowledge that you accept the Rates associated with such booking. The Rates are then applied to the hours worked by you on each booking (the “Fees”). The amount of the Fees you will receive will be processed through your Agency at their sole discretion. BookJane shall not, in any way, be involved in or responsible in any way whatsoever for the payment of the Fees, or any portion of the Fees, from an Agency to a Healthcare User; this shall be dealt with between you and your Agency.

In these Terms the content on the Service, whether made available to you or provided by you, including, without limitation, all User Content (as defined below), information, data, logos, marks, designs, graphics, pictures, sound files, other files, and their selection and arrangement, is called “Content”.

Content provided by users of the Service is called “User Content”. User Content is the property of its respective owners (e.g. the user of the Service that inputted it).

All trademarks, registered trademarks, product names and company names or logos mentioned in the Service are the property of their respective owners.

Your User Content is your responsibility. We have no responsibility or liability for it, or for any loss or damage your User Content may cause to you or other people. Although we have no obligation to do so, we have the absolute discretion to remove, screen or edit, without notice, any User Content posted or stored on the Service, and we may do this at any time and for any reason. You are solely responsible for maintaining copies of and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Service. You agree that we do not accept or assume responsibility, nor shall you hold us liable or responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any information provided by any user of the Service on or off the Service. User Content submitted to any public area of the Service will be considered non-confidential.

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible on the Service, please notify us at info@bookjane.com. While we take no responsibility for any User who breaches your copyright or other intellectual property rights, we may, in our sole discretion and without liability, undertake to attempt to contact the infringer on your behalf and/or cancel the infringer’s Account.

  16. You must comply with and abide by the User Content Guidelines (as defined below).

 

  1. Your Limited License of Your User Content to BookJane

 

We do not claim any ownership interest in your User Content, but we do need the right to use your User Content to the extent necessary to operate and provide the Service, now and in the future. For example, if a Client makes a Posting, we need a license to display that User Content on the Service, and we need the right to sublicense that User Content to other users of the Service so that they can view that User Content.

Therefore, by posting or distributing User Content to or through the Service, you (a) grant BookJane and its affiliates and subsidiaries a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable right to use, display, perform, reproduce, distribute, publish, modify, adapt, translate and create derivative works from such User Content, and otherwise use any and all User Content for any purpose and in the manner in and for the purposes which the Service from time to time use such User Content; and (b) represent and warrant that (i) you own and control all of the rights in and to the User Content, or otherwise have the lawful right to post and distribute that User Content, to or through the Service; and (ii) the use and posting or other transmission of such User Content does not violate the Terms (including the restrictions described Section 12).

If your User Content is intended for the use of other users of the Service, you also grant us and our affiliates and subsidiaries a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable right to sublicense such User Content to such users for their use in connection with their use of the Service, as described in this Section.

These licenses from you are non-exclusive because you have the right to use your User Content elsewhere. They are royalty-free because we are not required to pay you for the use of your User Content on the Service. And they are transferable because we need the right to transfer these licenses to any successor operator of the Service. Our rights to “modify, adapt, translate, and create derivative works from” are necessary because the normal operation of the Service does this to your User Content when it processes it for use in the Service.

  1. User Content Guidelines

You agree not to post, upload to, transmit, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish through the Service any of the following (“User Content Guidelines”):

  1. content that would constitute, encourage or provide instructions for a criminal offense, violate the rights of any party or that would otherwise create liability or violate any local, provincial, state, national or international law;
  2. content that is intended to advertise the services of another person or entity;
  3. private information of any third-party, including without limitation, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and credit card numbers, unless that third-party has expressly consented to such use;
  4. viruses, corrupted data or other harmful, disruptive or destructive files; and/or
  5. content that is unrelated to the Service.

Reviews posted on the Service must comply with the following:

  1. users of the Service who wish to post a review of a User or a Client must have an Account;
  2. reviews must be helpful and reasonable and must only accurately describe the true experience that the user of the Service had with such other user of the Service in a prior booking (i.e. no hearsay);
  3. reviews must be legal and must not infringe the rights of any party;
  4. reviews must comply with the User Content Guidelines (as outlined and defined below);
  5. reviews must not be written by or be about minors (under the age of 18); and
  6. reviews may not be of a commercial nature (including the posting of any web addresses, links, HTML or other coding or promotional items).

Reviews on the Service are the sole, subjective opinion of the users of the Service who post them. BookJane does not endorse any of the reviews posted on the Service and reserves the right to review and/or delete a review for any reason, including, but not limited to, a contravention of this Section. If you believe that the review was written in a manner that contravenes the Terms, you may request a removal of such review through the Service or by emailing info@bookjane.com.

Any use of the Service or portions of the Service in violation of the foregoing violates the Terms and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Service.

  1. Security of the Service

To ensure reliability and to protect the Service, Content and User Content, we use high grade hosting services and security technologies that we believe will provide you with a secure and safe environment. For example, all Content and information on the Service is encrypted using SSL certificates.

However, no system is perfectly secure or reliable. The internet is an inherently insecure medium, and the reliability of hosting services, internet intermediaries, your internet service provider, and other service providers cannot be assured. When you use the Service, you accept these risks and the responsibility for choosing to use a technology that cannot guarantee complete security and reliability.

  1. Third-Party Software and/or Open Source Software; Third-Party Service Providers; Third-Party Partners; Independent Contractors and Linked Sites

The Service may contain and/or may connect to third-party software and/or open source software, which may be subject to third-party licenses and require notices and/or additional terms and conditions (“Third-Party Licenses”). These Third-Party Licenses are made a part of and incorporated into the Terms. By accepting the Terms, you are also accepting the Third-Party Licenses, if any. You agree that nothing in the Third-Party Licenses shall, in any way, alter the Terms or your obligations hereunder. To view Third Party Licenses, please contact info@bookjane.com.

In the course of using your Account with us or using the Service, you may be required or by your actions may be deemed, to consent to the terms of agreements provided by certain third-party service providers, including but not limited to, payment processors, social media login account providers (Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo etc.), credit card companies and banks. You agree that nothing in those agreements shall, in any way, alter the Terms or your obligations hereunder.

BookJane may hire or engage one or more third-party partners to perform any or all of the its obligations under the Terms. We operate the Service in conjunction with our independent contractors. Our independent contractors and third-party partners may have access to your personal or business information in providing services to us, or providing you with access to the Service. We may use a variety of third-party service providers, independent contractors, employees and servers in locations both inside and outside of Canada, which may make your personal or business information the subject of foreign laws and foreign legal proceedings.

Whether or not we are affiliated with websites or third-party vendors that may be linked to the Service, we are not responsible for their content (the “Linked Sites”). The Linked Sites are for your convenience only and you access them at your own risk. We and other users of the Service may provide links and references to material on other websites or applications not owned or operated by us. Links found on the Service are not an endorsement and we do not represent or warrant the accuracy or truth of the contents of information found on said websites. You access those links and corresponding sites at your own risk.

THERE ARE POTENTIAL RISKS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISK OF PHYSICAL HARM, WHEN YOU DEAL WITH SOMEONE (PERSON ON ENTITY) YOU CONNECT WITH THROUGH THE SERVICE. YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DEALING WITH OTHER PERSONS AND/OR ENTITIES WITH WHOM YOU MEET, CONTRACT WITH OR COME IN CONTACT THROUGH THE SERVICE. WE PROVIDE NO ASSURANCES, GUARANTEES OR REPRESENTATIONS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) REGARDING THE QUALITY, REPUTATION, LEGALITY, INTEGRITY, RESPONSIBILITY OR ACTIONS OF ANY CLIENTS, WHETHER IN PUBLIC, PRIVATE, ONLINE OR OFFLINE INTERACTIONS. EVEN IF LISTED ON THE SERVICE, AND EVEN IF A USER HAS RECEIVED FAVORABLE REVIEWS ON THE SERVICE, WE DO NOT ENDORSE, REFER OR RECOMMEND ANY CLIENTS. THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE REMAINS SOLELY WITH YOU, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

  1. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER, EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, LIABILITIES AND DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

The date of the last version of the Terms is posted above. We may notify you of any significant changes to the Terms by sending a notice to the email address registered on your Account or provided in your Registration Data, or by placing a notice on the Website or the Applications visible to you the next time you access the Website or the Applications. Unless otherwise specified, any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting of the revisions on the Website or the Applications. You are responsible for reviewing the amendments to the Terms and you are deemed to have accepted and agreed to such amendments by accessing and using the Service after such amendments have been posted. If you do not agree with the amendments, you shall immediately stop accessing the Service and terminate your Account, subject to the terms and conditions provided for in the Terms.

  1. Communications and User Submissions

By creating an Account, you agree to receive certain communications from BookJane. For example, you will receive notifications, our newsletter and/or other promotional emails. You can opt-out of non-essential communications. Notices that we give you (other than notice of amendment of the Terms, which is discussed below) may be provided in any of the following ways. First, we may email you at the contact information you provide in your Registration Data. Second, we may post a notice to you in the User Account page of the Applications. Third, we may post the notice elsewhere on the Website or Applications. When we post notices on the Website or Applications, we post them in the area that is suitable to the notice. It is your responsibility to periodically review the Website or Applications for notices.

The Service may provide communication channels such as forums, communities or chat areas (“Communication Channels”) designed to enable you to communicate with Clients. BookJane is under no obligation to monitor these Communication Channels, but may do so and reserves the right to review materials posted to the Communication Channels and to remove any materials, at any time, with or without notice for any reason, at its sole discretion. BookJane may also terminate or suspend your access to any Communication Channels at any time, without notice, for any reason. You acknowledge that chats, Postings, or materials posted by users of the Service on the Communication Channels are neither endorsed nor controlled by BookJane, and these communications shall not be considered reviewed or approved by BookJane. You will be solely responsible for your activities within the Communication Channels and under no circumstances will BookJane be liable for any activity within the Communication Channels. You agree that all your communications within the Communication Channels are public, and you have no expectation of privacy regarding your use of the Communication Channels. BookJane is not responsible for information that you choose to share on the Communication Channels, or for the actions of other users of the Service.

Subject to the Privacy Policy, you acknowledge that BookJane is free to use, reproduce, modify, disclose, transmit or post any communications, whether verbal or in writing, including data, information, ideas, inventions, concepts, techniques, know-how evaluations, questions, comments, suggestions, or similar, you transmit to BookJane (“User Submissions”), for any purpose whatsoever, including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing and marketing products using such information, without acknowledgement or compensation to you, and you waive any claim of ownership or compensation or other rights you may have in relation to the User Submissions. We actively review User Submissions for new ideas. If you wish to preserve any interest you might have in your User Submissions, you should not share them with us through the Service or otherwise.

  1. Applicable Law and Venue

The Service is controlled by BookJane and operated by it from its offices in Toronto, Ontario. You and BookJane both benefit from establishing a predictable legal environment in regard to the Service. Therefore, the Terms, all documents incorporated by reference and your relationship with us shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, (and any Canadian federal laws applicable therein) as it is applies to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within such province and, to the extent permitted, without regard to any conflict of laws provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the Terms.

You hereby agree to irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts and tribunals of Ontario, Canada (including the Federal courts and tribunals as applicable therein) to settle any disputes arising out of or in any way related to the Terms, all documents incorporated by reference and your relationship with us.

If you choose to access the Service from locations other than Ontario, you will be responsible for compliance with all local laws of such other jurisdiction and you agree to indemnify BookJane and the other Released Parties for your failure to comply with any such laws.

  1. Termination of Terms

You and BookJane may terminate these Terms and your use of the Service at any time. When you terminate these Terms, you must cease using the Service immediately. When your account is terminated, any User Content you have uploaded to the Service may remain on the Service. The license you grant to us in Section 13 therefore survives the termination of these Terms. In addition, we may retain an archival copy of your User Content after termination, and you therefore hereby grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable license to maintain such archival copy for our internal business purposes. If these Terms expire or terminate for any reason, Sections 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25 and any representations or warranties you make in the Terms shall remain binding and shall also survive indefinitely.

  1. Miscellaneous

If any provision of the Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Where a provision in the Terms is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, a lawful or enforceable term which best reflects the intention of the provision, as originally drafted, shall substitute. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of the Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. The Terms shall enure to the benefit of and are binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. You agree that we may assign any or all of our rights hereunder to any party without your consent. You are not permitted to assign any of your rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of BookJane, and any such attempted assignment will be void and unenforceable. Violation of the Terms may cause us irreparable harm and, therefore, you agree that we will be entitled to seek extraordinary relief including, but not limited to, temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that we may have for a breach of the Terms. The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and BookJane regarding your use of the Service, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications whether electronic, oral or written between you and BookJane regarding your use of the Service. The Terms shall not be modified except in writing, signed by you (or a duly authorized representative if you are an entity) and a duly authorized representative of BookJane Inc. The parties confirm that it is their wish that the Terms, as well as any other documents relating to the Terms, including notices, have been and shall be drawn up in the English language only. Les parties reconnaissent avoir convenue que la présente convention ainsi que tous documents, avis et procédures judiciaires qui pourront être exécutés, donnés ou intentées à la suite des présentes ou ayant un rapport, direct ou indirect, avec la présente convention soient rédigée en anglais.
