  1. TERMS OF SERVICE
    BookNet Canada ('BNC') agrees to make available these catalogue services to the end user ('you', 'your'), subject to the terms of service set out in this agreement ('TOS'). In addition, when using particular services, you are subject to any posted rules applicable to such services, which may be posted from time to time at www.bnccatalist.ca. In order to use the Service (defined below), you must first agree to the TOS. You can accept the TOS by:
    1. clicking to accept or agree to the TOS, where this option is made available to you by BNC in the user interface for the Service; or
    2. by actually using the Services, in which case, you acknowledge and agree that BNC will treat your use of the Service as acceptance of the TOS from that point onwards.
  2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
    1. The service ("Service") is an online catalogue system maintained by catalogue creators, enhanced with interactive features.
    2. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features or content that augment or enhance the current Service, shall be subject to the TOS.
    3. You understand and agree that while BNC will take commercially reasonable steps, commensurate with its resources and mandate, to provide error free data, the selection of Content (defined below) and its presentation in catalogues is at the sole discretion of the catalogue creators using the Service. Neither BNC nor its suppliers assume responsibility for the accuracy of the Content, or for the timeliness, mis-delivery or non-delivery of same, or any failure to store or accurately store, any user communications, addresses or personalization settings. For the purposes of this agreement, "suppliers" means any provider of services to BNC, including catalogue creators, for use in the Service.
  3. USAGE RESTRICTIONS
    The following applies to your use of the content and data (the "Content") provided to you as part of the Service. Except as authorized by BNC, you shall not:
    1. disclose, sell, rent, lease, distribute, re-license, republish or otherwise transfer, give or sell the Content;
    2. modify the Content or create any derived works based on the Content; or
    3. attempt to view or access Content which you have not been explicitly granted permission to view by BNC.
  4. REGISTRATION FOR CUSTOM CATALOGUES
    Certain catalogues provided as part of the Service are private. You may be invited by a catalogue creator to access these catalogues. To gain such access, you will be required to register and create an account to access this part of the Service. Sections 4(a) to (f) apply to your use of the Service as a registered user, in addition to the rest of these TOS:
    1. USER INFORMATION
      You agree to:
      1. provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself during the registration process and
      2. promptly update the information in your account profile to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or BNC or its suppliers have reasonable grounds to suspect this, BNC or its suppliers have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof), including any transition rights. BNC will keep confidential any personal information that you provide as part of the registration process and will only disclose such information to other users of the Service or other third parties, if authorized by you. BNC will use the personal information provided for the purposes of administering your use of, and providing you with access to, the Service. For more information about how BNC protects your personal information, see http://www.bnccatalist.ca/privacy.aspx.
    2. CONFIDENTIALITY OF CUSTOM CATALOGUES
      You agree to maintain the confidentiality of any confidential data ("Confidential Data") provided to you through the Service, and not to disclose, sell, rent, lease, license, republish or otherwise transfer or give same to any third parties. You acknowledge that any unauthorized distribution, disclosure, or use of the Confidential Data, by you or anyone accessing the Confidential Data through you, will cause irreparable harm to BNC, its suppliers and/or those organizations providing BNC with data for the Service ('Data Sharing Participants') for which damages may not be adequate compensation and you therefore agree that in addition to any other remedies BNC or an affected Data Sharing Participants may have against you, BNC or any affected Data Sharing Participant, is immediately entitled to equitable relief, including an injunction, in order to stop any breach, continuing breach, or threatened breach of this Agreement.
    3. SALESDATA SERVICE
      If you have subscribed to the BNC SalesData Service ("SalesData"), you may receive access to content from SalesData via this Service. In all cases, your access to and use of any SalesData content is governed by either your SalesData End User License Agreement ("EULA") or your SalesData Agreement in addition to these TOS. In the event of a conflict between these TOS and the SalesData EULA or SalesData Agreement, the latter will prevail.
    4. USER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD AND SECURITY
      You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify BNC of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (if applicable); and (b) exit from your account at the end of each session. You agree to hold BNC, and its suppliers harmless from any damage you or anyone else suffers arising from your failure to comply with this Section 4.(d). If the end user is a sole proprietorship with employees, or a corporation with employees, then you, as end user, are responsible for the actions of your employees or partners as the case may be.
    5. TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION
      1. You agree that BNC, in its sole discretion, may (or may instruct its suppliers to), suspend or terminate your password, account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service, remove and discard any Content within the Service, deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service, discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice:
        1. if BNC believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the TOS, and have not either cured the breach (if curable) or provided a satisfactory undertaking to BNC or the applicable authorities, within five (5) business days of receiving a notification of a material breach, and within thirty (30) calendar days of a non-material breach; or
        2. temporarily for maintenance purposes. Further, you agree that BNC shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination or suspension of your access to the Service.
      2. Confidential Data obtained pursuant to this agreement may be destroyed by you, or retained by you, at your discretion. If you decide to retain the information, the obligations and restrictions set out in s.3(b) (Confidentiality) survive for as long as you choose to retain such data, rather than destroy it.
