Terms of use

Proposed acceptance clause

Using the site — including reading pages, submitting the form or following a link — means you accept the current version of these terms and the privacy policy.

Purpose of the website

The site presents Arbo Féminin, the committee for women in arboriculture in Québec: mission, actions, community, upcoming events, and a form to express interest or join the committee. It is not an online store and does not create a member account automatically.

Permitted and prohibited use

You may use the site to learn about the committee and to contact us through the means provided. You may not:

• use the site in an unlawful, deceptive or harassing way
• attempt to reach non-public areas, overload the service or undermine its security
• submit the form with false information, someone else's content without a right to do so, or an automated message
• copy the site at scale, scrape it abusively, or present it as your own
• use Arbo Féminin's marks, logo or wording without permission, except as the law allows

Accuracy and availability of information

We take care to keep the site current, but wording, event dates, places and descriptions may change without notice. The site may be interrupted for maintenance, a fault, or a cause beyond our control. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or freedom from errors.

Events, the committee and forms

Event listings are provided for information only. Registration, a place at an event or participation is confirmed only when Arbo Féminin confirms it in writing.

Sending the form does not by itself make you a committee member or add you to a list. It is an expression of interest. We may follow up, ask for details, or decline a request.

If fees, participation rules or a cancellation policy ever apply to an event, they will be stated for that event. Nothing on this site is, today, a paid registration contract.

Intellectual property

The name Arbo Féminin, the logo, texts, photographs, videos and layout are protected. Unless stated otherwise, they belong to Arbo Féminin or are used with permission. You may share a link to a public page. Any other reproduction, adaptation or commercial use needs our written consent, subject to legal exceptions such as short quotation.

User-submitted information

You confirm that information sent through the form is accurate and that you have the right to send it. You allow us to use it under the privacy policy. Do not send other people's confidential business information or unnecessary sensitive data (for example a social insurance number).

Third-party websites and services

The site may link to Instagram or other sites. Those destinations have their own terms. Arbo Féminin is not responsible for their content or practices. Microsoft 365 is used only to deliver internal form notices, not as a public service you use on the page.

Disclaimers

The site is provided “as is”. Content is for information and community-building. It is not a substitute for professional advice in arboriculture, law, or health and safety. To the extent permitted by law, Arbo Féminin and the people who run the committee disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by the law of Québec, Arbo Féminin is not liable for indirect damages, data loss, lost opportunity, or harm arising from use of the site, an interruption, a content error, or a third-party site. This limit is not meant to exclude liability that the law does not allow to be excluded, including for gross fault or bodily injury where the law so provides.

The committee is publicly known as Arbo Féminin. The person or entity that is legally responsible, if it must be named differently, is [OFFICIAL LEGAL NAME TO BE CONFIRMED].

Privacy

Personal information is handled as described in the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.

Changes to the website or terms

Proposed clause: we may change the site, remove a page or update these terms. Once approved, each version will state its effective date. Continued use after an update is acceptance of the new version, unless the law requires another form of consent.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Québec and the laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Québec have jurisdiction, subject to any public-order rules that protect consumers where those rules apply.

Contact information

Questions about these terms: contact@arbof.ca. Official mailing address: [OFFICIAL MAILING ADDRESS TO BE CONFIRMED].

Effective date

[EFFECTIVE DATE REQUIRES APPROVAL AFTER REVIEW OF THE TEXT]. This draft does not set an effective date.
