No advice, information, or communication obtained by you from Ottawa Group Buy Ltd. or through the Site, whether oral or written, shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Ottawa Group Buy Ltd., its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, or assigns be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, and regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount of fees paid by you to Ottawa Group Buy Ltd. during the twelve-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD 100.00).

The limitations of liability set forth in this section shall apply even if your remedies under these Terms fail of their essential purpose.

Informal Resolution: Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, we encourage you to contact us at guide@ottawabuy.mom to attempt to resolve any dispute informally. Both parties agree to engage in good faith negotiations for a period of at least thirty days before pursuing formal dispute resolution mechanisms.

Jurisdiction and Venue: Subject to the informal resolution process described above, you agree that any legal action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the courts of competent jurisdiction located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. You hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection to venue or any claim of inconvenient forum with respect to such proceedings.

Time Limitation: Any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary. Any claim not filed within this one-year period shall be permanently barred.

It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for changes. We recommend that you check this page each time you visit the Site to ensure that you are aware of the most current version of the Terms. Your failure to review the updated Terms shall not relieve you of your obligations thereunder.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction for any reason, such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving its original intent as closely as possible. If such modification is not possible, the provision shall be severed from these Terms.

The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. The parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the intentions that the parties expressed in the unenforceable provision to the fullest extent permitted by law.

No waiver of any term or condition of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition. Any failure by Ottawa Group Buy Ltd. to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable service agreements, statements of work, or engagement letters executed between you and Ottawa Group Buy Ltd., constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company concerning the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.
