MASTER TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT
This Master Terms of Use Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Jombone Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal office at 3300 Dallas Pkwy Suite 200, Plano, TX 75093, United States, also operating under Jombone Inc. as a corporation registered in Ontario, Canada (“Jombone”), and the Customer identified in the applicable Order Form or the individual/entity accepting this Agreement (“Customer”).
This Agreement governs Customer’s access to and use of the Jombone Staffing Operations and Intelligence Platform (the “Platform”), including all related services, whether under a free trial, free tier, or paid subscription.
Effective Date: As of the date Customer accepts this Agreement by (1) clicking “I Agree,” (2) executing an Order Form referencing this Agreement, or (3) using the Jombone Platform, including under a free trial or free tier. Where Customer is located in Canada (outside the Province of Quebec), acceptance also constitutes acceptance of Schedule A (Canadian Addendum) appended to this Agreement.
By accepting this Agreement, Customer represents that the individual accepting it has authority to bind the Customer entity and its affiliates. If the individual lacks such authority or does not agree with these terms, they must not accept this Agreement or use the Platform. Direct competitors of Jombone are prohibited from accessing the Platform without Jombone’s prior written consent.
1. Definitions
“Customer Data” means all data, including Personal Data, submitted by or on behalf of Customer to the Platform.
“Order Form” means the executed document specifying the services purchased, term, fees, and other commercial details, incorporated into and forming part of this Agreement.
“Platform” means Jombone’s cloud-based suite of software services, including modules for applicant tracking, client management, invoicing, timesheets, pay/bill rate management, onboarding, learning management, communication, and analytics, accessible via web browsers and mobile applications.
“Personal Data” means data subject to applicable Data Protection Laws, as defined in the Data Processing Addendum (DPA).
“Software” means the Jombone Platform’s software, including web-based applications and mobile applications for iOS and Android, as provided under this Agreement.
“Initial Term” means the subscription term specified in the applicable Order Form, commencing on the Effective Date.
“Renewal Term” means each successive term following the Initial Term, as described in Section 7.1.
“Change of Control” means, with respect to Customer: (i) a merger, consolidation, or reorganization with or into another entity; (ii) a sale, transfer, or disposition of all or substantially all of Customer’s assets; (iii) a sale, transfer, or issuance of equity interests resulting in a change of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power or economic interest of Customer; (iv) a change in the composition of Customer’s board of directors or equivalent governing body such that the individuals constituting such body as of the Effective Date cease to constitute a majority; or (v) the dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Customer’s business.
“Customer Jurisdiction” means the country and, where applicable, province or state in which Customer is organized or primarily conducts business, as identified in the applicable Order Form. For the avoidance of doubt, the Province of Quebec is not a permitted Customer Jurisdiction under this Agreement.
“Applicable Law” means all applicable federal, state, provincial, and local laws and regulations governing the parties’ respective obligations under this Agreement, as determined by Customer Jurisdiction.
2. License and Access Rights
2.1 Grant of License. Subject to Customer’s compliance with this Agreement, Jombone grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited license during the Term to access and use the Platform and its Software solely for Customer’s internal business purposes, as specified in the applicable Order Form.
2.2 Scope of License. The license permits Customer to:
- Access the Platform via supported web browsers and mobile applications for iOS and Android.
- Use the Platform’s features as provided in the subscription tier specified in the Order Form.
- Allow authorized users (e.g., employees or contractors) to access the Platform under Customer’s account, provided Customer remains responsible for their compliance with this Agreement.
2.3 Restrictions. Customer shall not:
- Sublicense, sell, lease, rent, or distribute the Software or Platform;
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Software, except as permitted by Applicable Law;
- Modify, adapt, or create derivative works of the Software;
- Use the Software or Platform for illegal purposes or to transmit infringing, libelous, or unlawful material;
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Platform or its systems; or
- Monitor the Platform’s performance for benchmarking or competitive purposes without Jombone’s prior written consent.
Jombone reserves the right to seek injunctive relief for violations of these restrictions.
2.4 Geographic Restriction — Quebec. The Platform is not offered to, and may not be used by, any Customer whose Customer Jurisdiction is the Province of Quebec, Canada. Jombone does not operate in, target, or accept Order Forms from entities organized or primarily doing business in Quebec. Any person or entity in Quebec who accesses the Platform does so in violation of this Agreement and Jombone reserves the right to immediately terminate such access without notice or refund. This restriction does not apply to Canadian Customers outside Quebec that may have individual employees or contractors temporarily located in Quebec.
2.5 Intellectual Property Ownership. Jombone retains all right, title, and interest in the Software, Platform, and all related intellectual property. Customer receives no ownership rights in the Software or Platform, only the limited license described herein.
2.6 User Accounts. Customer must create accounts using valid email addresses and passwords. Accounts are personal and non-transferable. Customer is responsible for maintaining confidentiality of login credentials and all activities under their accounts.
2.7 Sandbox Environment. Jombone may provide a temporary sandbox environment for testing during onboarding. The sandbox will be decommissioned within 30 days of onboarding completion, and all data therein will be securely deleted unless Customer requests transfer in writing within that period.
2.8 Updates and Maintenance. Jombone may update or modify the Software at its discretion to enhance functionality or security, with reasonable notice to Customer. Such updates do not materially reduce the Platform’s core functionality during the Term.
3. Subscription Model and Fees
3.1 Freemium Model. The Platform operates on a freemium model, offering limited features under a free tier and additional features via paid subscriptions, as detailed in the Order Form.
3.2 Fees and Payment. Fees are specified in the Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoices are due on receipt. All fees for the subscription term specified in the Order Form are non-cancellable and non-refundable, regardless of actual usage or early termination by Customer. Late payments accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, whichever is lower. Jombone may suspend access for non-payment after 10 days’ written notice.
For Canadian Customers, fees may be invoiced in Canadian Dollars (CAD) or United States Dollars (USD) as specified in the Order Form. The late payment interest rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) is within the permitted range under the Criminal Code of Canada (Section 347) as amended effective January 1, 2025.
3.3 Enterprise Agreements. Enterprise clients may negotiate custom terms via Order Forms, which take precedence over conflicting provisions in this Agreement.
3.4 Non-Cancellable Commitment. All subscription fees for the Initial Term and any Renewal Term are firm, non-cancellable, and non-refundable commitments. Monthly billing is provided as a payment convenience and does not create a month-to-month arrangement or imply the right to cancel prior to the expiration of the then-current term.
3.5 Acceleration. If Customer (a) requests or initiates early termination prior to the end of the then-current term, (b) fails to cure a payment default within 10 days of written notice, (c) ceases operations or undergoes dissolution, or (d) undergoes a Change of Control without providing the notice required by Section 12.8, all remaining fees for the balance of the then-current term shall become immediately due and payable in full.
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT: (I) JOMBONE’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF EARLY TERMINATION WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO CALCULATE PRECISELY; (II) THE ACCELERATED AMOUNT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF JOMBONE’S ANTICIPATED LOSS; AND (III) THE ACCELERATED AMOUNT IS NOT A PENALTY. CUSTOMER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO CONTEST THE ACCELERATED AMOUNT AS AN UNENFORCEABLE PENALTY.
3.6 Taxes. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, value-added, goods and services, harmonized sales tax (HST/GST), and similar taxes imposed by any governmental authority on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, excluding taxes based on Jombone’s net income. For Canadian Customers, Jombone will add applicable HST or GST to invoices as required by Canadian federal and provincial tax law. Quebec Sales Tax (QST) does not apply as Jombone does not serve Quebec Customers.
4. Data Ownership and Privacy
4.1 Ownership. Customer retains all rights to Customer Data. Jombone may process and store Customer Data solely to provide and improve the Platform, in accordance with the Data Processing Addendum (DPA) and Applicable Law.
4.2 Data Security. Jombone will maintain industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect Customer Data, as detailed in the DPA. In case of a data breach, Jombone will notify Customer within 72 hours of discovery as required by Applicable Law, including obligations under PIPEDA (Canada, excluding Quebec) and applicable US state breach notification laws.
4.3 Data Retention. Upon termination or Customer’s written request, Jombone will return or securely delete Customer Data within 30 days, unless required to retain it by Applicable Law.
4.4 CASL (Canadian Customers). To the extent Jombone sends Commercial Electronic Messages (CEMs) to Customer’s employees or authorized users in connection with the Platform, Jombone will comply with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (S.C. 2010, c. 23) (“CASL”). Customer represents and warrants that it has obtained all required consents under CASL for any CEM sent via the Platform to Customer’s users. Customer shall ensure any CEMs sent using the Platform’s communication features comply with CASL’s consent, identification, and unsubscribe requirements. Customer indemnifies Jombone from any CRTC enforcement action or third-party CASL claim arising from Customer’s non-compliance.
4.5 Software Installation Consent (Canadian Customers). Customer acknowledges that installation or use of the Platform’s desktop or mobile software components constitutes express consent under Section 8 of CASL for installation of computer programs. Customer shall obtain appropriate consent from its users prior to deploying the Platform to their devices.
5. Third-Party Integrations
5.1 Authorization. The Platform integrates with third-party services (e.g., background checks, e-signatures, messaging, Google Maps) via APIs and webhooks. Customer authorizes Jombone to share Customer Data with these providers as necessary to deliver the integrated features.
5.2 Due Diligence. Jombone conducts due diligence on third-party providers and ensures they are contractually obligated to comply with applicable data protection laws. Jombone will notify Customer of known third-party disruptions within 24 hours.
5.3 Liability Disclaimer. Jombone is not liable for service disruptions caused by third-party providers, provided Jombone has exercised reasonable care in their selection.
5.4 Criminal Background Checks (Canadian Customers). Criminal background check integrations are supported for North American jurisdictions. For Canadian Customers, results are governed by applicable provincial human rights legislation and the Criminal Records Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. C-47). Customer is solely responsible for ensuring its use of criminal background check data complies with Applicable Law.
6. Service Levels
Jombone’s commitments to Platform uptime, incident response, and service credits are governed by the Service Level Agreement (SLA), incorporated herein. The Platform targets 99.5% uptime per calendar quarter, excluding scheduled maintenance (not to exceed 4 hours per month) and third-party disruptions.
7. Term and Termination
7.1 Term. This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues for the Initial Term specified in the Order Form. Unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term, the subscription shall automatically renew for successive terms equal to the Initial Term at Jombone’s then-current pricing.
7.2 Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement for a material breach if the breaching party fails to cure within 30 days of written notice. In the event of termination by Jombone for Customer’s material breach, all remaining fees for the balance of the then-current term shall become immediately due and payable in full pursuant to Section 3.5.
7.3 No Termination for Convenience. Customer may not terminate this Agreement for convenience during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term. Any request or notice of early termination by Customer shall constitute a triggering event under Section 3.5. For the avoidance of doubt, a Change of Control does not constitute grounds for termination of this Agreement.
7.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, Customer’s access to the Platform ceases, and Jombone will handle Customer Data as specified in the DPA. The following provisions survive expiration or termination: Sections 1, 3, 4, 7.4, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, and any provision which by its nature is intended to survive. Termination does not relieve Customer of any obligation to pay Fees accrued prior to termination or accelerated Fees due under Section 3.5.
8. Warranty and Disclaimer
The Platform is provided “as is.” Jombone disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jombone’s uptime commitments under the SLA are not affected by this disclaimer.
As this Agreement is a B2B commercial agreement entered into by business entities, the parties acknowledge that statutory consumer protection legislation intended for individual consumers does not apply to the commercial relationship governed by this Agreement.
9. Limitation of Liability
9.1 Cap. Jombone’s total liability for all claims under this Agreement shall not exceed the fees paid by Customer under the applicable Order Form in the 12 months preceding the claim.
9.2 Exclusions. Jombone is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of data or business interruption. This limitation does not apply to damages arising from Jombone’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.3 Third-Party Services. Jombone is not liable for damages caused by third-party services, provided due diligence was performed, as detailed in the SLA.
9.4 Canadian Carve-Out. The limitation in Section 9.2 does not apply to: (a) damages arising from Jombone’s breach of its obligations under PIPEDA or other Applicable Canadian Data Protection Laws; or (b) claims arising from Jombone’s intentional misconduct, fraud, or violations of applicable Canadian law that cannot be contractually excluded.
10. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the other’s confidential information and to use it only as permitted under this Agreement. This obligation survives termination for 3 years, except for trade secrets, which remain protected indefinitely.
11. Feedback, Support, and Publicity
11.1 Feedback. Customer may provide feedback about the Platform. Jombone may use such feedback without restriction or compensation, provided it remains non-confidential unless otherwise agreed in writing.
11.2 Support. Support is provided as outlined in the SLA. For accessibility issues, contact [email protected]. Jombone strives to meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards.
11.3 Publicity. Customer grants Jombone the non-exclusive right to reference Customer’s name and logo in marketing materials, customer lists, press releases, and case studies, subject to any reasonable brand guidelines provided to Jombone in writing. Customer may revoke this right at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to [email protected].
12. General Provisions
12.1 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. The governing law and dispute resolution forum applicable to this Agreement are determined by Customer Jurisdiction as follows:
United States Customers
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles. All disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Dallas County, Texas, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), except that Jombone may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for violations of Section 2.3 or Section 10. Prior to initiating arbitration, the parties shall attempt good-faith negotiation for fifteen (15) days, followed by executive-level escalation for an additional fifteen (15) days.
Canadian Customers
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. All disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Toronto, Ontario, under the rules of the ADR Institute of Canada (ADRIC), except that Jombone may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for violations of Section 2.3 or Section 10. Prior to initiating arbitration, the parties shall attempt good-faith negotiation for fifteen (15) days, followed by executive-level escalation for an additional fifteen (15) days. Nothing in this Section limits Customer’s rights under applicable Canadian law that cannot be waived by contract.
12.1(C) ATTORNEYS’ FEES. THE PREVAILING PARTY IN ANY ARBITRATION OR COURT PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ITS REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES FROM THE NON-PREVAILING PARTY. IF JOMBONE RETAINS AN ATTORNEY OR COLLECTION AGENCY TO COLLECT AMOUNTS DUE FROM CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ALL REASONABLE COSTS OF COLLECTION WHETHER OR NOT ARBITRATION OR SUIT IS FILED.
12.2 Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures due to events beyond their reasonable control, including natural disasters, government actions, pandemics, or internet outages, provided the affected party gives prompt written notice and uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact.
12.3 Assignment. Jombone may assign this Agreement without Customer’s consent to an affiliate or to a successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of Jombone’s assets. Customer may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without Jombone’s prior written consent, including in connection with any merger, acquisition, Change of Control, or sale of substantially all of Customer’s assets. Any purported assignment by Customer in violation of this Section shall be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
12.4 Notices. Notices must be in writing, sent via email to the designated contact in the Order Form or to [email protected], with confirmation of receipt. Notices are deemed received upon confirmed delivery. For Canadian Customers, dispute notices must also be sent by courier to: Jombone Inc., 2233 Argentia Road, Suite 302A, East Tower, Mississauga, ON L5N 2X7, Canada.
12.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Order Form, DPA, SLA, and any applicable Schedule, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, superseding all prior agreements. In case of conflict, the Order Form prevails, followed by the applicable Schedule, DPA, SLA, and this Agreement.
12.6 Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. An unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
12.7 Modifications. Jombone may update this Agreement with 30 days’ written notice. Continued use of the Platform after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. Jombone will maintain a version history of this Agreement and will make prior versions available upon written request.
12.8 Change of Control. Customer shall provide Jombone with written notice within ten (10) business days following consummation of any Change of Control event. This Agreement shall survive and remain binding upon Customer’s successor, acquirer, or surviving entity following any Change of Control. No Change of Control shall relieve Customer or its successor of any obligation to pay Fees accrued prior to, or remaining due through the end of, the then-current Subscription Term. Jombone may, within sixty (60) days of receiving notice of a Change of Control, require the successor entity to provide written assurances of its ability and willingness to perform Customer’s obligations hereunder. Failure to notify Jombone of a Change of Control within the required period shall constitute a triggering event under Section 3.5.
12.9 Electronic Signatures and Counterparts. This Agreement and any Order Form may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. Execution via electronic signature (including DocuSign or similar platforms) shall constitute valid and binding execution.
- US Customers: Electronic signatures are enforceable under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 7001–7006) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as adopted by the applicable state.
- Canadian Customers (excluding Quebec): Electronic signatures are enforceable under Ontario’s Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (S.O. 2000, c. 17) and applicable provincial electronic commerce legislation.
12.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. This provision applies to US-based Customer disputes only; it does not apply where prohibited by Applicable Law in Canada.
12.11 Language. This Agreement is drawn up in English. As Jombone does not serve Quebec Customers, the requirements of the Charter of the French Language (RLRQ c. C-11) do not apply to this Agreement. All communications and documentation shall be in English.
13. Customer Representations and Warranties
Customer represents and warrants that:
- Customer is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement;
- This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by Customer and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation enforceable against Customer in accordance with its terms;
- The individual accepting this Agreement on behalf of Customer has been duly authorized to bind Customer, and Customer shall be estopped from asserting lack of authority as a defense to enforcement;

14.2 Jombone Indemnification. Jombone shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from third-party claims that the Platform, as provided and used in accordance with this Agreement, infringes such third party’s intellectual property rights, provided Customer promptly notifies Jombone of the claim, grants Jombone sole control of the defense, and cooperates in the defense.
15. Acceptance
By clicking “I Agree,” executing an Order Form, or using the Platform, Customer acknowledges that it has read and understood this Agreement in its entirety and agrees to be bound by it, the DPA, the SLA, and any applicable Schedule. Customer acknowledges that the individual accepting this Agreement has actual authority to bind the Customer entity.
16. Region-Specific Provisions
This Section sets out provisions that apply specifically to Customers in certain jurisdictions. In the event of a conflict between this Section and the general terms of this Agreement, this Section prevails for Customers in the applicable jurisdiction.
16A — United States Customers
16A.1 Governing Law. As specified in Section 12.1(a), this Agreement is governed by Texas law for US Customers. The parties consent to personal jurisdiction in Dallas County, Texas.
16A.2 Federal and State Privacy Laws. For Customers subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the parties’ obligations with respect to California residents’ personal information are set forth in the DPA. Customer shall notify Jombone in writing if it is a covered business under the CCPA or any other US state privacy law (including Virginia CDPA, Colorado CPA, Connecticut CTDPA, or Texas TDPSA). Jombone will work in good faith to execute any required data processing addenda.
16A.3 Electronic Signatures. Electronic signatures are governed by the ESIGN Act and applicable state UETA as specified in Section 12.9.
16A.4 State-Specific Auto-Renewal Notice. This subscription will automatically renew at the end of each term unless Customer provides written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before expiration, per Section 7.1. This is a B2B commercial agreement; consumer auto-renewal statutes do not apply.
16A.5 OFAC Compliance. Customer represents and warrants that it is not on any US government restricted party list, including OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, and that it will not use the Platform in a manner that would violate US export control laws or sanctions regulations.
16B — Canadian Customers (excluding Quebec)
16B.1 Governing Law. As specified in Section 12.1(b), this Agreement is governed by Ontario law and federal Canadian law for Canadian Customers. Disputes are resolved by binding ADRIC arbitration in Toronto, Ontario.
16B.2 PIPEDA and Federal Privacy Law. Jombone will comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (S.C. 2000, c. 5) (“PIPEDA”) and, upon royal assent and coming into force, its successor legislation with respect to all Customer Data processed on behalf of Canadian Customers. Jombone designates a Privacy Officer responsible for PIPEDA compliance, reachable at [email protected]. Canadian Customers may direct privacy inquiries and access/correction requests to this address. Jombone will respond to verified privacy requests within 30 days of receipt.
16B.3 Quebec Exclusion. Jombone does not offer the Platform to Customers in the Province of Quebec. Quebec Law 25 and its associated obligations therefore do not apply to this Agreement. Any Customer that represents itself as being outside Quebec and is later found to be organized or primarily operating in Quebec will be in material breach of Section 2.4, and Jombone may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect and accelerate all remaining fees under Section 3.5.
16B.4 CASL Compliance. Jombone will comply with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (S.C. 2010, c. 23) (“CASL”) in connection with any Commercial Electronic Message (CEM) sent by Jombone to Canadian Customers’ personnel, including: (a) obtaining express or implied consent before sending CEMs; (b) clearly identifying Jombone as the sender; (c) providing a functioning unsubscribe mechanism active for a minimum of 60 days; and (d) honoring unsubscribe requests within 10 business days. Customer is responsible for CASL compliance for CEMs sent by Customer using the Platform’s communication features.
16B.5 Alberta and British Columbia Privacy. Customers in Alberta and British Columbia are subject to the Personal Information Protection Act of Alberta (S.A. 2003, c. P-6.5) and the Personal Information Protection Act of British Columbia (S.B.C. 2003, c. 63) respectively. Jombone will comply with the applicable provincial PIPA in lieu of PIPEDA where required.
16B.6 Currency and Taxation. Where the Order Form specifies pricing in Canadian Dollars (CAD), all payment obligations shall be in CAD. Jombone is registered for GST/HST purposes in Canada. Applicable GST or HST will be included in Customer invoices as required by the Excise Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. E-15). Customer’s GST/HST registration number, if applicable, should be provided to Jombone at Order Form execution.
16B.7 Accessibility. Jombone endeavours to comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (S.O. 2005, c. 11) (“AODA”) in connection with the Platform’s web-based features available to Ontario Customers.
16B.8 Electronic Records (Ontario). For Ontario Customers, this Agreement and any Order Forms executed electronically constitute valid legal agreements under Ontario’s Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 (S.O. 2000, c. 17).
16B.9 Dispute Notice Requirements. For Canadian Customers (excluding Quebec), all notices of dispute must be sent in writing to Jombone at [email protected] and by courier to: Jombone Inc., 2233 Argentia Road, Suite 302A, East Tower, Mississauga, ON L5N 2X7, Canada. The 15-day good-faith negotiation period under Section 12.1(b) commences upon confirmed receipt of such notice.
17. Acceptance
By clicking “I Agree,” executing an Order Form, or using the Platform, Customer acknowledges that it has read and understood this Agreement in its entirety and agrees to be bound by it and all applicable Schedules, and confirms that the individual accepting this Agreement has actual authority to bind the Customer entity.
