Terms of Use

The agreement that governs your use of the intrasec website and services. Comprehensive, plainly written, and fully binding.

00

Agreement & acceptance

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and intrasec ("intrasec," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the website located at intrasec.ca (the "Site") and, together with any applicable Statement of Work, Service Agreement, or engagement letter (collectively, "Service Agreement"), the IT, cybersecurity, and advisory services we provide (the "Services").

By accessing or using the Site, or by clicking "I agree," signing a Service Agreement, or otherwise indicating your acceptance, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity and that "you" refers to that entity throughout these Terms.

These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference and forms part of the agreement between you and intrasec. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and an executed Service Agreement, the Service Agreement shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

01

About intrasec

intrasec is a Canadian provider of managed IT services, cybersecurity advisory and consulting, and related professional services to businesses operating primarily in Canada. We are headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The Site is operated for informational and marketing purposes and to facilitate engagement between prospective and existing clients and intrasec. The Site does not constitute the provision of professional legal, regulatory, financial, or investment advice. Any general information on the Site regarding cybersecurity risks, best practices, or regulatory obligations is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, regulatory, or professional advice specific to your organization's circumstances.

The delivery of specific managed IT, cybersecurity, and advisory services is governed exclusively by a separately executed Service Agreement between you and intrasec. Nothing on the Site creates an obligation on intrasec to provide any particular service, and no client relationship is formed by your use of the Site alone.

02

Eligibility

The Site and Services are intended exclusively for business use by companies, organizations, and their authorized representatives. They are not intended for use by consumers or individuals acting in a personal capacity.

Requirements

intrasec reserves the right to refuse access to the Site or to decline to enter into a Service Agreement with any person or organization, at our sole discretion, without obligation to provide reasons.

03

Website use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, intrasec grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Site for your own internal business purposes. This licence does not include the right to:

Accounts & access credentials

If we provide you with login credentials to access any client portal or restricted area of the Site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of those credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to immediately notify us through our contact page if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your credentials.

Links to third-party sites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or resources. These links are provided for your convenience only. intrasec has no control over the content, privacy practices, or availability of such third-party sites, and we do not endorse, sponsor, or recommend any third-party site or its content. We accept no responsibility or liability for any third-party sites or for any loss or damage arising from your use of them.

Availability

We do not warrant that the Site will be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components at any time. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site, or any part of it, at any time and without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Site.

04

Services & engagements

The specific managed IT, cybersecurity, advisory, and consulting services that intrasec provides to clients are governed by the terms of a written Service Agreement executed between the parties. These Terms apply to your use of the Site and, to the extent not inconsistent with a Service Agreement, to any pre-contractual engagement or communications with intrasec.

Scope of services

intrasec offers, among other services: managed IT support, cybersecurity strategy and advisory, cloud adoption and migration consulting, governance framework development, risk assessment, managed security services, and related professional services. The specific deliverables, service levels, fees, and timelines applicable to your engagement are set out exclusively in your Service Agreement. No promise, representation, or commitment made by any intrasec representative regarding services shall be binding unless confirmed in writing in a Service Agreement.

Client responsibilities

You acknowledge that the successful delivery of our Services depends in part on your cooperation and participation, including:

Where a delay or failure in the delivery of Services results from your failure to fulfill your obligations as a client, intrasec shall not be in breach of any service level commitment, and any associated deadlines or timelines may be adjusted accordingly.

No guarantee of outcomes

intrasec does not guarantee any particular business outcome, security posture, regulatory compliance result, or performance improvement as a result of the Services. Cybersecurity and IT environments involve inherent risk that cannot be fully eliminated. Our Services are designed to reduce risk and improve your security and operational posture, but we cannot guarantee that any threat, breach, data loss, or system failure will be prevented.

05

You are responsible for paying all applicable taxes on fees charged under any Service Agreement. Where intrasec is required by law to collect such taxes, they will be added to the invoice and are payable by you.

Fee changes

intrasec may adjust its fees for ongoing managed services by providing at least sixty (60) days' written notice.

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INTRASEC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS, OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

With respect to the Services, intrasec warrants only that it will perform the Services: (a) in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with generally accepted industry standards; and (b) materially in accordance with the specifications set out in the applicable Service Agreement. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY PROVIDED BY INTRASEC WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

No advice, guidance, information, or recommendation provided by intrasec through the Site or in the course of delivering Services constitutes a warranty with respect to the outcomes of implementing such advice.

10

Limitation of liability

Exclusion of consequential damages

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL INTRASEC, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION:

13

Dispute resolution

Governing law

These Terms and any Service Agreement, and all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to them or their subject matter (including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to any conflict of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Jurisdiction & venue

Subject to the escalation and mediation process below, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario sitting in the City of Toronto for the resolution of any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or any Service Agreement. You waive any objection to the laying of venue in such courts and any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum.

Escalation & good faith negotiation

Before initiating formal legal proceedings (other than for emergency injunctive relief), the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through the following process:

Injunctive relief

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency or interim injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without first following the escalation process, where delay in seeking such relief would cause irreparable harm. The seeking of such relief shall not constitute a waiver of the party's right to proceed through the escalation process for the underlying dispute.

Class action waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any dispute resolution proceeding will be conducted on an individual basis only, and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You waive your right to participate in any class action or class-wide arbitration with respect to any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services.

14

General provisions

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable Service Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and intrasec with respect to your use of the Site and the Services, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, representations, warranties, and agreements, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. No party has entered into these Terms in reliance on any representation or warranty not expressly set out herein.

Amendments & waivers

No amendment to these Terms is valid unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of intrasec (and, if applicable, countersigned by you where your agreement is required). No waiver of any provision of these Terms is effective unless made in writing. The failure or delay by either party to exercise any right or remedy under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy. A waiver of any breach does not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the provision shall be severed from these Terms. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.

Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, sublicense, or otherwise deal with any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of intrasec. intrasec may assign or transfer these Terms or any Service Agreement, in whole or in part, without your consent: (a) to an affiliate; (b) in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets; or (c) as part of a transfer of the business to which these Terms relate. Any purported assignment in violation of this provision is null and void.

Force majeure

Neither party shall be in breach of these Terms or liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by or results from circumstances beyond that party's reasonable control, including without limitation: acts of God, pandemic, epidemic, fire, flood, earthquake, storm, or other natural disaster; war, armed conflict, terrorism, or civil unrest; governmental action or law; power outages, telecommunications failures, or internet disruptions not caused by the affected party; strikes or labour disputes not involving the affected party's own employees; or any other event, circumstance, or cause beyond the reasonable control of the affected party (each a "Force Majeure Event"). The affected party shall: (a) promptly notify the other party of the Force Majeure Event and its anticipated duration; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure Event; and (c) resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable after the cessation of the Force Majeure Event. If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, either party may terminate the applicable Service Agreement on written notice without liability.

Notices

All notices, requests, consents, and other communications required or permitted under these Terms shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given: (a) when delivered personally; (b) one (1) business day after deposit with a recognized overnight courier service with tracking; (c) when sent by email with confirmation of receipt by the receiving party (excluding auto-replies); or (d) three (3) business days after being sent by prepaid first-class mail. Notices to intrasec shall be sent through our contact page at intrasec.ca/contact or to our address on file. Notices to you shall be sent to the contact information you provided in connection with your account or Service Agreement.

Relationship of the parties

The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties. Neither party has the authority to bind the other or to incur any obligation on the other's behalf without prior written consent.

No third-party beneficiaries

These Terms are for the sole benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in these Terms, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of these Terms.

For non-material changes (such as clarifications, formatting corrections, or updates to contact information), we may update the Terms without advance notice, and such changes take effect immediately upon posting.
