Any losses or expenses (including legal fees) arising out of, or in connection with any allegation, claim, suit, or other proceeding based upon a contention that the use of the Service by you or a third party through your Account infringes the intellectual property rights or contractual rights of any third party, or
17.4.4. Defamation or copyright infringement arising from material transmitted or received over our or our affiliates’ facilities, or

18. Indemnifications
18.1. If we, our affiliates, or any of our or their respective employees, agents, or suppliers (the “Pathway Indemnitees”) are faced with a legal claim by a third party arising out of your actual or alleged gross negligence, wilful misconduct, violation of law, failure to meet security obligations required by the Agreement, violation of the AUP, or violation of these Terms and Conditions, then you will pay the cost of defending the claim (including reasonable attorney fees) and any damages awarded, fine or other amount that is imposed on the Pathway Indemnitees as a result of the claim. Your obligations under this subsection include claims arising out of the acts or omissions of your employees, any other person to whom you have given access to the Services and any person who gains access to the Services as a result of your failure to use reasonable security precautions, even if the acts or omissions of such persons were not authorized by you. If you resell the Pathway Services, the grounds for indemnification stated above also include any claim brought by your customers or end users arising out of your resale of the Pathway Services. We will choose legal counsel to defend the claim, provided that these decisions are reasonable and promptly communicated to you. You must comply with our reasonable requests for assistance and cooperation in the defense of the claim. We may not settle the claim without your consent, although such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. You must pay expenses due under this Section as we incur them.

19. Third Party License Terms
19.1. In addition to the terms of this Agreement, your use of the Service is governed by the license terms and conditions of use that may apply to any third party software, systems, processes or applications used by Pathway in the provision or delivery of the Services, as modified from time to time by the supplier or vendor of such third party software, systems, processes, or applications.

20. Ownership of Intellectual Property
20.1. Each of us retains all right, title, and interest in and to our respective trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, and other intellectual property. Any intellectual property developed by Pathway during the performance of the Services shall belong to Pathway unless we have agreed with you in advance in writing that you shall have an interest in the intellectual property.

21. Ownership of Intellectual Property
21.1. Each of us agrees not to use the other’s Confidential Information except in connection with the performance or use of the Services, as applicable, the exercise of our respective legal rights under the Agreement, or as may be required by law. Each of us agrees not to disclose the other’s Confidential Information to any third person except as follows:
21.1.1. To our respective service providers, agents, and representatives, provided that such service providers, agents, or representatives agree to confidentiality measures that are at least as stringent as those stated in this Agreement;
21.1.2. To a Canadian law enforcement or government agency if required by a subpoena or other compulsory legal process, or if either of us believes, in good faith, that the other’s conduct may violate applicable criminal law as required by law;
21.1.3. In response to a subpoena or other compulsory legal process, provided that each of us agrees to give the other written notice of at least seven days prior to disclosing Confidential Information under this subsection (or prompt notice in advance of disclosure, if seven days advance notice is not reasonably feasible), unless the law forbids such notice.

22. Disclaimers
22.1. We do not warranty or promise that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. You acknowledge that there are risks inherent in Internet connectivity that could result in the loss of your privacy, Confidential Information, and property. Pathway has no obligation to provide security other than as stated in this Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pathway makes no express or implied representations, warranties or conditions of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to warranties of title or non-infringement, or implied warranties or conditions of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, with regard to the Service, hardware, software or any other Service or deliverable provided hereunder, or any merchandise, information, content or Service provided on the internet, and all representations, warranties, or conditions of any kind, express or implied are, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby excluded.

22.2. Neither Pathway, nor any of its affiliates, agents or suppliers warrant the performance, availability, uninterrupted or error free use of or operation of the Service or any deliverable provided pursuant to this Agreement. The entire risk as to the availability and performance of the Service or any of its components is with you. Further, neither we nor our affiliates, agents or suppliers warrant that any data or files sent by or to you will be transmitted, transmitted in uncorrupted form or transmitted within a reasonable period of time, or that such data or files will not be intercepted, that other persons will not gain access to your Account, the Service, any of your content or that any data or material accessible through the Service will be free of viruses or other harmful components.

23. Reselling Services
23.1. If you are a reseller of the Pathway Services, you may resell the Services, provided that in addition to yourself, you bind, to the terms of this Agreement, in writing, the end user to whom you resell the Services. You will, however, be responsible for use of the Services by any end user to the same extent as if you were using the Services yourself. Unless otherwise agreed, Pathway will provide support to such end user to whom you resell the services, consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Notices are deemed received as of the time sent, or if that time does not fall within a business day (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. – Mondays through Fridays, excluding Federal and Provincial holidays) then on the next occurring business day. All notices must be given in the English language, except if you are a resident of the Province of Quebec, whereupon we will send notices in French.

25. IP Addresses and Domain Names
25.1. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, you must discontinue use of the Services and relinquish use of the IP addresses, server names and other facilities or property assigned to you by Pathway in connection with Services, including pointing the DNS for your domain name(s) away from Pathway Services. You agree that Pathway may, as it determines necessary, make modifications to DNS records and zones on Pathway managed or operated DNS servers and services.

25.2. If you register, renew, or transfer a domain name through Pathway, Pathway will submit the request to its domain name services provider (the “Registrar”) on your behalf. Pathway’s sole responsibility is to submit the request to the Registrar. Pathway is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or failures of the Registrar. Your use of domain name services is subject to the applicable legal terms of the Registrar. You are responsible for closing any account with any prior reseller of or registrar for the requested domain name and you are responsible for responding to any inquiries sent to you by the Registrar.

26. Assignment/Subcontractors
26.1. You may not assign this Agreement without Pathway’s prior written consent. We may assign the Agreement in whole or in part as part of a corporate reorganization or a sale of our business, and we may transfer your Confidential Information as part of any such transaction. Pathway may use third party service providers to perform all or any part of the Services, but Pathway remains responsible to you under this Agreement for work performed by its third party service providers, to the same extent as if Pathway performed the Services itself.

27. Force Majeure
27.1. Neither of us will be in violation of the Agreement if the failure to perform the obligation is due to an event beyond our control, such as significant failure of a part of the power grid, significant failure of the Internet, natural disaster, war, riot, insurrection, epidemic, strikes or other organized labour action, terrorism, or other events of a magnitude or type for which precautions are not generally taken in the industry.

28. Governing Law
28.1. The Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province Of Ontario, which shall be the exclusive venue for all disputes arising out of the Agreement, and we each agree not to bring an action in any other venue. You waive all objections to this venue and agree not to dispute personal jurisdiction or venue in these courts. You agree that you will not bring or participate in any class action lawsuit against Pathway or any of its employees or affiliates. Each of us agrees that we will not bring a claim under the Agreement more than two years after the time that the claim accrued.

29. Entire Agreement
29.1. This Agreement, together with all Service Order(s), the Pathway Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”), the Pathway Service Level Agreement (“SLA”), and the Pathway Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), constitute the entire Agreement between you and Pathway concerning your use and access to Services, and supersede any prior agreement between you and Pathway.

30. Other
30.1. If any part of the Agreement is found unenforceable by a court or other tribunal, the rest of the Agreement will nonetheless continue in effect, and we agree that the tribunal may reform the unenforceable part if it is possible to do so, in a manner which is consistent with the material economic incentives of the parties resulting in this Agreement. Each of us may enforce each of our respective rights under the Agreement even if we have waived the right or failed to enforce the same or other rights in the past. Our relationship is that of independent contractors and not business partners. Neither of us is the agent for the other, and neither of us has the right to bind the other on any agreement with a third party.

30.2. The captions in the Agreement are for convenience only and are not part of the Agreement. In the event of a dispute between us regarding the interpretation of applicable law, policies or the AUP, Pathway’s reasonable determination shall control. The use of the word “including” in the Agreement shall be read to mean “including without limitation”. If you have made any change to the Agreement documents that you did not bring to our attention in a way that is reasonably calculated to put us on notice of the change, the change shall not become part of the Agreement. The Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts, which, taken together, will be considered one original. Facsimile signatures, signatures on an electronic image (such as .pdf or .jpg format), and electronic signatures shall be deemed to be original signatures.
