(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you assume full responsibility for your own use of the Products. In no event shall VocalScan be liable to you, your heirs, or assigns or to any third party for any loss, death, damage, or bodily injury that you suffer, or that you cause to any third party, in connection with your use of the Products or other activities you undertake in connection with your use of the Products.
Some regions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
12.12 EXCLUSIVE VENUE
To the extent the parties are permitted under these Terms to initiate litigation in a court, both you and VocalScan agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Products will be litigated exclusively in the province of Ontario, Canada. If, however, that court would lack original jurisdiction over the litigation, then all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Products will be litigated exclusively in the Superior Court of Barrie, Ontario, Canada. You and VocalScan consent to the personal jurisdiction of both courts.
12.13 SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
These Terms are effective and were last updated on July 2, 2023.
