We may in the future enable the use of cookies but we will not do so without proper notification.
The system contains checks against certain misuses and we make reasonable attempts at enforcing our policies against misuse. However, we cannot review all of the content posted to our Services continually by users or anyone else and are not responsible for any use or effects of such Content.

Fees for Paid Services
Some of our Services are offered for a fee. By using a Paid Service, you agree to pay the specified fees and fees associated with specific features. Our current membership model only incurs one-time payments. In the future, we reserve the right to introduce recurring payments for other, newer Paid Services. For recurring fees, we’ll bill or charge you for in regular automatically-renewing intervals (such as monthly, annually, or biennially), on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by contacting the support service.
Payment
If your payment fails or if Paid Services are otherwise not paid for or paid for on time, we may immediately cancel or revoke your access to the Paid Services. If you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees for Paid Services, we may revoke your access to our Services in general.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your payment obligations and information, if any, remain current and not in arrears.
Fee Changes
We may change our fees at any time, or start charging fees for Services that were previously free. When applicable, we will give you advance notice of the fee changes.
Refunds
Generally, we have a "no refund policy", all one-time payments are final. While you may cancel a membership at any time by contacting the Support Service, refunds are issued at our sole discretion (upon request to our support services) unless otherwise required by applicable law.
You represent and warrant that your use of our Services will be in strict accordance with these Terms:
- will comply with all applicable laws and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content, privacy, data protection, the transmission of technical data exported from Canada or the country in which you reside, the use of financial services, notification and consumer protection, unfair competition, and false advertising);

If you believe that material located on or associated with one of our products or services violates your copyright, please notify us. We will respond to all such notices, including as required or appropriate by removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the infringing material. We will terminate a visitor’s access to and use of the website if, under appropriate circumstances, the visitor is determined to be a repeat infringer of the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of our service. In the case of such termination, we will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid to us.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all representations, warranties and conditions relating to our website and the use of this website (including, without limitation, any warranties implied by law in respect of satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose and/or the use of reasonable care and skill). Nothing in this disclaimer will:
- limit or exclude our or your liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence;
- limit or exclude our or your liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
- limit any of our or your liabilities in any way that is not permitted under applicable law; or
- exclude any of our or your liabilities that may not be excluded under applicable law.
The limitations and exclusions of liability set out in this Section and elsewhere in this disclaimer: (a) are subject to the preceding paragraph; and (b) govern all liabilities arising under the disclaimer or in relation to the subject matter of this disclaimer, including liabilities arising in contract, in tort (including negligence) and for breach of statutory duty.
You will indemnify and hold SOS, its employees, contractors, partners, sponsors, vendors and service providers (including, without limitation, hosting and telecommunications providers) harmless, including costs and attorneys’ fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of your use and access to its products and services, your violation of this Agreement or your infringement or any third party using your account, of any intellectual property right.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SOS and its affiliates shall not be liable under contract, tort, strict liability, negligence or any other legal or equitable theory with respect to the product or services (i) for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of data, opportunities, reputation, profits or revenues, or (ii) for any direct damages in excess of one hundred dollars ($100) in the aggregate.
We periodically review our Services and that means sometimes we have to change the legal terms under which our Services are offered. If we make changes that are material, we will let you know by sending you an email or other communication before the changes take effect. The notice will designate a reasonable period of time after which the new terms will take effect. If you disagree with our changes, then you should stop using our Services within the designated notice period, or once the changes become effective. Your continued use of our Services will be subject to the new terms. However, any dispute that arose before the changes shall be governed by the Terms (including the binding individual arbitration clause) that were in place when the dispute arose.
Except to the extent any applicable law provides otherwise, the Agreement and any access to or use of our Services will be governed by the laws of Canada excluding its conflict of law provisions. The proper venue for any disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement and any access to or use of our Services will be the courts located in British Columbia, Canada.
The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between SOS and you concerning the subject matter hereof. If any part of the Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. You may assign your rights under the Agreement to any party that consents to, and agrees to be bound by, its terms and conditions; SOS may assign its rights under the Agreement without condition. The Agreement will be binding upon and will insure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
