This Agreement is incorporated into, and forms and integral part of your Pathway Service Order by reference, or by reference to this Agreement, as displayed ona page on the Pathway website. If, over time, you sign multiple Service Orders with Pathway using a single account, then the Agreement incorporated into, and which forms part of the latest, or most recent, Service Order will govern all your Service Orders.

  • a copy of a Pathway Service Order has been signed by you and sent to Pathway
  • Pathway acknowledges via correspondence, including electronic mail, that it has received and accepted such Service Order Agreement.
  • Pathway's provisioning of the Services described in your Service Order shall also be indicative of your and Pathway's acceptance of your Service Order.

Any changes made during the term of your Agreement will become effective and applicable to you the earlier of thirty (30) days following such changes being published on Pathway's web site or our written notice to you describing such changes.

If the change materially and adversely affects you and you do not accept such changes, you may terminate the Agreement by giving written notice of your intent to terminate Services, no later than thirty (30) days following the date the change becomes effective, stating such grounds. If you terminate your Service because the change adversely affects you, we may, at our option, either

  • not enforce that change with respect to your Service and keep your Agreement in place for the remainder of the term or
  • permit you to terminate your Agreement without payment of early termination fees.

Other than as stated herein, the Agreement may be modified only by a formal, document signed by authorized representative of each party. If there is a conflict between the terms of this agreement with any of the other documents that comprise this Agreement, then the documents will govern in the following order of precedence: Agreement, Service Order, Terms of Service, and the Acceptable Use Policy.

7. TERM.

The initial term for each Service Order begins on the date we make the Services available for your use and continues for the period stated in the Service Order. If no period is stated in the Service Order, then the initial term shall be one year. Upon expiration of the initial term, the Service Order will automatically renew for successive renewal terms of one year each, unless and until one of us gives the other a written notice of non-renewal at least four months prior to the expiration of the initial term, or then-current renewal term, as applicable.

8. FEES.

Pathway will charge you the Fees stated in your Service Order and you agree to pay Pathway the Fees related to such Services. The Fees posted on Pathway's web site do not include taxes, long distance or other applicable charges. There is a minimum Fee commitment related to each Service that you enrol for, under your Service Order.
If your actual Service usage does not meet or does not exceed the minimum commitment, Pathway will charge you minimum Fee, which will be higher than the Fee based on your actual usage.

The schedule for payment of Fees to Pathway will be as follows:

  • for recurring Fees, in advance, on or around the first day of each billing cycle, which commences on the date your Service is activated
  • for non-recurring Fees (such as Fees for initial set-up, Service use overages and special, one-time or non recurring Services) on the date Service delivery was initiated and no later than the first day of the billing cycle that follows the date the Service was initiated.

Provided that Pathway may, at its discretion, wait to charge your credit card until the time when aggregate fees due are at least $50.00. Unless otherwise agreed in the Service Order, your billing cycle will be monthly, beginning on the date that Pathway first makes the Services available to you.

Unless you have made other arrangements, you will be required to pay the Fees using a valid Credit Card (Visa or MasterCard only) issued in your name. By providing your Credit Card information for payment of the Service Fees to Pathway, you expressly authorize Pathway to charge your Credit Card (and any replacement Credit Card) all Fees and outstanding amounts owing to Pathway.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the billing information provided to Pathway, including your address and Credit Card details or other billing information, remains current at all times and you agree to notify Pathway of any changes to your billing information forthwith.

Pathway may suspend all Services (including Services provided to you pursuant to any unrelated Service Order or other agreement we may have with you) if our charges to your credit card are rejected for any reason. Pathway may charge interest on overdue amounts at 1.5% per month (or the maximum legal rate, whichever is higher) on any amount is overdue by more than thirty (30) days. If Pathway brings any legal action to collect, or engages a collection agency, you will also be required to pay Pathway's reasonable costs of collection, including attorney fees and court costs. All fees are stated and will be charged in Canadian Dollars. Any "credit" that Pathway may owe you, such as a credit for failure to meet a stated Service Level Assurance, will be applied to Fees due from you for Services, and will not be paid to you as cash or as a refund. Charges that are not disputed within sixty (60) days of the date charged are conclusively deemed to be accurate. Pathway is required, by law, to collect taxes on the provision of the Services, and you must pay Pathway the amount of the tax that is due or provide satisfactory evidence of your exemption from such tax. You authorize Pathway to obtain a credit report at any time during the term of the Agreement.

9. FEE INCREASES.

Pathway may increase the Fee for the Services at any time on 30 days' (30) days written notice to you. Such Fee increase will be effective as of the completion of the thirtieth day of the period of written notice of the Fee increase. In addition if, during the initial term or any renewal term, there is an increase in the Canadian Consumer Price Index over the Canadian Consumer Price Index reported for the month in which you signed your Service Order, we may increase your Fees by the same percentage as the increase in the Canadian Consumer Price Index. Provided that we may not increase your Fees pursuant to this clause more often than once every twelve months, and we must give you at least thirty days advance written notice of the increase.

10. SERVICE SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION

We may suspend or terminate your Services without any liability if:

  • (i) we reasonably believe that the Services are being used (or have been or will be used) in violation of the Agreement,
  • (ii) we discover that you are, or are affiliated in any manner with, a person or entity who/which has used similar services abusively in the past;
  • (iii) you do not cooperate with Pathway's reasonable investigation of any suspected violation of the Agreement;

If the suspension was based on your breach of your obligations under the Agreement, then we will continue to charge you the Fees for the Services during the suspension, and will charge you a Reinstatement Fees (not to exceed $250.00) upon reinstatement of the Services. If your Service is terminated on account of a breach of this agreement pursuant to this paragraph, we will have no obligation to make any refund or other payment (including, without limitation, refund of set up fees, prepaid fees or other credits for future Services) to you and despite any termination, we may pursue any other recourse against you, including barring you from accessing stored information.

11. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE AND EARLY TERMINATION FEE.

You may terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time, on thirty days advance written notice. If you terminate the Agreement for convenience, in addition to other amounts you may owe, you must pay an early termination fee equal to fifty percent (50%) of the minimum monthly financial commitment you have made, for the remaining, unmet portion of the then-current term. You agree that this is not a penalty but a reasonable payment of Fees to Pathway for early termination of this Agreement. Customer on month-to-month contract Terms will be entitled to no refund for any pro-rata amounts, should they decide to terminate the Agreement before the end of the month.

12. TERMINATION FOR BREACH.

  • (ii) if you are an individual, you were not at least 18 years old or otherwise did not have the legal capacity to enter into the Agreement at the time you submitted the Service Order for Services, or if you are an entity or fiduciary, the individual submitting the Service Order for Services did not have the legal right or authority to enter into the Agreement on behalf of the person represented to be the customer,
  • (iii) your payment of an invoiced amount is overdue, and you do not pay the overdue amount within seven (7) days of our written notice,

  • (v) you use your Service in violation of the AUP and fail to remedy the violation within three (3) business days of our written notice, or
  • (vi) you fail to comply with any other provision of the Agreement and do not remedy the failure within seven (7) days of our notice to you describing the failure.

You may terminate this Agreement for breach on written notice if:

  • (i) we materially fail to provide the Services on more than one occasion in six months and do not remedy that failure within seven (7) days of your written notice describing the failure, or

13. ACCESS TO DATA.

You will not have access to your data stored on the Pathway Cloud™ system during a suspension or following termination. Pathway backups the Pathway Cloud systems on a periodic basis so that we are able to more quickly restore the systems in the event of a failure. These backups are made on a snap-shot basis and, therefore, capture only the information that exists on the system at the time of the backup. In addition, we may destroy all but the most recent backup. These backups may not be available to you or, if available, may not be useful to you outside of the Pathway Cloud systems. Although the Pathway Cloud service may be used as a backup service, you agree that you will maintain at least one additional current copy of your programs and data stored on the Pathway Cloud system somewhere other than on the Pathway Cloud system .

14. UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR DATA OR UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE SERVICES.

Pathway is not responsible for any unauthorized access to your data or the unauthorized use of the Services unless the unauthorized access or use results from Pathway's failure to meet its security obligations stated in the Agreement. You are responsible for the use of the Services by any employee of yours, any person to whom you have provided access or access credentials for the Services and any person who gains access to your data or the Services as a result of your failure to use reasonable security precautions, even if such use was not authorized by you.

Our obligations to you are defined by this Agreement. We are not liable to you for failing to provide the Services even if the failure results from a breach of this Agreement, or results from negligence.

Neither of us, namely you or we, nor any of our respective employees, agents, affiliates or suppliers, is liable to the other for any lost profits or any other indirect, special, incidental or consequential loss or damages of any kind or for any loss that could have been avoided by the damaged party's use of reasonable diligence, even if the party responsible for the damages has been advised or should be aware of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall either of us be liable to the other for any punitive damages.
Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the maximum aggregate monetary liability of Pathway and any of its employees, agents, suppliers or affiliates, in connection with the Services, the Agreement and any act or omission related to the Services or Agreement under any theory of law (including Breach of Contract, tort, strict liability, violation of law, and infringement) shall not exceed the greater of (i) the amount of Fees you paid for the Services for two (2) months prior to the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) Five Hundred Canadian Dollars ($500.00).

23. IP ADDRESSES AND DOMAIN NAMES

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.
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.

24. ASSIGNMENT/SUBCONTRACTORS

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.

25. FORCE MAJEURE

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.

26. GOVERNING LAW

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.

27. OTHER

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.
