Terms of Service
These terms govern use of the Education in Canada website and associated services. The text that follows sets out rights and responsibilities for site visitors and the site operator in accessible, neutral language. The sections describe permitted uses of content, intellectual property considerations, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and the process for changes to these terms. The legal summary below is descriptive and intended for general background; it does not replace jurisdiction-specific legal advice.
1. Use of content and permitted activities
Content published on this website is provided for informational purposes. Materials, including text, images, and icons, are made available to support neutral reference about the Canadian education system. Users may view, download, and print content for personal, non-commercial use, provided that any reproduced material retains all copyright and proprietary notices. Redistribution, modification, or commercial exploitation of site content is prohibited unless explicit written permission is obtained from the site operator or content rights holder. Users must not use the site in ways that interfere with its operation, including sending unlawful or harmful data, attempting to access restricted areas, or reverse-engineering system components. Compliance with applicable laws and these terms is a condition of permitted use. The site reserves the right to suspend or restrict access for conduct that abuses or impairs service functionality or violates these terms.
2. Intellectual property and attribution
The site operator or third-party contributors retain copyright and other intellectual property rights in material published on this site, unless an alternative attribution is stated. Trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the site are the property of their respective owners. Where third-party materials are included under licence or fair use provisions, those materials are identified as such. Requests for permission to reuse content beyond the scope of permitted personal use should be directed to the contact address provided on the Contact page. Proper attribution should accompany any authorised reuse, and any alteration of the original material must be expressly permitted by the rights holder. The site does not grant implied licences for commercial reuse or derivative works unless a licence or written authorisation is supplied in writing by the rights holder.
3. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
Information provided on this site is presented in good faith for general background purposes about the Canadian education system. It is not legal, regulatory, or professional advice and does not replace information issued by provincial authorities, institutions, or other official bodies. While efforts are made to maintain accuracy, the site operator does not warrant that content is complete, current, or error-free. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator disclaims liability for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of the site, reliance on its content, or inability to access services. This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise. Certain jurisdictions may not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain liabilities; where such limitations are not permitted, they will apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
4. External links, third-party content, and endorsements
The site may contain links to third-party resources for convenience and additional context. Linked content is not under the control of the site operator, and the presence of a link does not constitute an endorsement, approval, or recommendation of the linked resource. Users who follow external links should review the terms and privacy practices of those third-party sites. The operator is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or policies of external websites. Where third-party materials are embedded, those items are provided under licence or by permission and are subject to the source provider's terms. Users remain responsible for ensuring that the use of any third-party resource complies with applicable terms and laws governing that resource.
5. Amendments, governing law, and contact
The site operator may amend these Terms of Service at any time by posting an updated version on this page. Material changes will be identified with an updated effective date. Continued use of the site after posting constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. These terms are governed by the laws of the province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. Disputes arising in connection with these terms that cannot be resolved by informal means may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts in Toronto, Ontario, unless otherwise required by law. For enquiries regarding these terms, intellectual property requests, or other legal matters, contact the office at the address below.
