them. If you do not agree to these Terms, please refrain from using or visiting the Site.

Part I – Using the Site

1. Information about Us:

The Site is owned and operated by Society for the Advancement of Actuarial Risk Needs Assessment (“SAARNA,” “We,” or “Us”) whose registered office is at 303 Bagot Street, Suite 306, Kingston, Ontario, K7K 5W7. SAARNA is a Not-for-Profit Corporation registered in Canada under company number 1233463-1.

2.Site structure and the Materials:

The content on the Site consists of:

a. “Free Materials”: all content that is made available by Us for free. This may include specific content made available: (i) to an individual through a periodic offer allowing free access for a limited period of time using either an access token or (for one session only)a session token; (ii) to the general public as free access content; or (iii) to an individual through referrer access from a relevant third party;

b. “Premium Materials”: all content that can be purchased; and

c. “Open Access Materials”: all content that is available on an open access basis.

The Free Materials, Premium Materials, and Open Access Materials together comprise the “Materials.”

If you register on the Site, this allows you to personalize the service we provide to you in relation to the Materials. Registration is required in order to access Free Materials using an access token and to purchase Premium Materials.

3.Accessing the Site:

Use of the Site is restricted to those aged 18 or over only. Anyone under the age of 18may only use the Site if accompanied by an adult. In addition to these Terms, use of and access to registered user areas and subscription areas is subject to any applicable registered user or subscription agreement.

Whilst We endeavor to ensure that the Site is normally available 24 hours a day, access to the Site is provided on a temporary basis, and We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the service We provide on the Site without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason the Site is unavailable at any time or for any period.

We aim to update our site regularly, and may from time to time change the Materials as well as the type of subscription/registration needed to access any of the Materials. If the need arises, We may suspend access to the Site, or close it indefinitely.

You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Site and the Materials, including the arrangement and acquisition of software, hardware, and any necessary Internet connection and telecommunications equipment. You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access the Site through your Internet connection are aware of these Terms and that they comply with them and you also understand that you and not Us are responsible for all electronic communications and content sent from your computer to Us.

4.Training Requirements:

Many of the Materials are manuals, evaluators’ workbook, training materials, and practice guides that are restricted to individuals who have the prerequisite training. It is the Users’ responsibility to know what training is required, and to obtain the necessary training before accessing restricted Materials.

Users are expected to fairly and accurately represent their training and experience. Failure to do so could result in loss of access to the site.

5.Legitimate Use:

The use of the Materials can influence decisions that have significant consequences for individuals and for public safety. Consequently, the Materials will only be used for the purposes for which they were intended. It is the Users’ responsibility to know the range of appropriate application of the materials, and not to use the Materials for other purposes.

6.No unauthorized revisions to the Materials:

Users will not change, edit, revise, or otherwise alter the Materials without explicit permission of SAARNA. In particular, Users will not change the Materials in ways that would influence the definitions and scoring rules of the risk tools.

The above provision does not apply to stylistic changes (e.g., color, spacing, font) that fully preserve the integrity of the content. As well, certified trainers are permitted to adapt training materials to their training needs provided that the changes do not change the intended uses, definitions, scoring rules, applications, and interpretations of the risk tools.

Users are also permitted to reproduce the Materials in alternate forms, such as making an automated, electronic form tailored to a specific location or practice setting.

You must not misuse the Site by knowingly introducing viruses, Trojans, worms, logic bombs, or other material which is malicious or technologically harmful. You must not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site or any part of it, the server on which the Site is stored, or any server, computer, or database connected to the Site. You must not attack the Site via a denial-of-service attack or a distributed denial-of-service-attack.

By breaching this provision, you would commit a criminal offence. We will report any such breach to the relevant law enforcement authorities and We will co-operate with those authorities by disclosing your identity to them. In the event of such a breach, your right to use the Site will cease immediately.

We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by a distributed denial -of-service attack, viruses, or other technologically harmful material that may infect your computer equipment, computer programs, data, or other proprietary material due to your use of the Site or due to your downloading of any material posted on it, or any website linked to it.

8.Links from the Site:

9.Our liability:

The Site and the Materials are provided on an “as is” basis. Subject to the below, SAARNA excludes all liability whether in contract, tort (including liability for negligence), or otherwise for the suitability, accuracy, or fitness for any purpose of the Site and any Material and limits its liability for any other liability under these terms or any related agreement to the fees payable by you for the element of the Site or the Material found to be in breach of these terms.

Subject to the below We exclude all liability for loss of business revenue or profits, anticipated savings, or wasted expenditure, corruption, or destruction of data or for any indirect or consequential loss whatever.

From time to time, We may operate interactive areas on the Site in the form of blogs, wikis, comment forums, or message boards, where users can review topical debate and, sometimes, post comments and upload materials to the Site (the “Public Areas”).

The views expressed in the Public Areas are those of the individuals and are not necessarily those of SAARNA.

These Content Standards apply to each part of a contribution as well as to its whole. The Content Standards must be complied with in spirit as well as to the letter. SAARNA will determine, in its discretion, whether a contribution breaches the Content Standards.

Please do not:

• Make multiple contributions. So that We can publish comments from as many different people as possible, participants should keep their number of contributions per debate to a reasonable level. Multiple contributions from one individual, or small number of individuals, discourage many others who might otherwise wish to take part;

• Spam by reposting the same message, or very similar messages, more than once;

• Publicize or attempt to publicize anyone else’s contact details or compromise anyone else’s privacy in any way; and/or

• Use any name other than your bona fide family name.

Further more, a contribution must:

• Be accurate (where it states facts);

• Be genuinely held (where it states opinions);

• Comply with the law applicable in Canada and in any country from which it is posted; and/or

• Be relevant.

A contribution must not:

• Infringe any copyright, database right, or trade mark of any other person;

• Breach any legal duty owed to a third party, such as a contractual duty or a duty of confidence;

• Be in contempt of court;• Be likely to harass, upset, embarrass, alarm, or annoy any other person;

• Impersonate any person, or misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person;

• Give the impression that the contribution emanates from SAARNA if this is not the case;

• Advocate, promote, incite any third party to commit, or assist any unlawful or criminal act;

• Contain a statement which you know or believe, or have reasonable grounds for believing, that members of the public to whom the statement is, or is to be, published are likely to understand as a direct or indirect encouragement or other inducement to the commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism; and/or

• Contain any advertising or promote any services or web links to other sites.

16.Breach of Content Standards:

If, acting reasonably, We consider that a breach of the Content Standards has occurred, We may at our discretion take such action as We deem appropriate. Failure to comply with these rules constitutes a material breach of the terms of use on which you are permitted to use the Public Areas, and may result in our taking all or any of the following actions:

• Immediate, temporary, or permanent withdrawal of your right to use the Public Areas;

• Immediate, temporary, or permanent removal of any contribution already posted on the Public Areas;

• Issue of a warning to you;

• Legal proceedings against you for reimbursement of all costs on an indemnity basis(including, but not limited to, reasonable administrative and legal costs) resulting from the breach;• Further legal action against you; and/or

We exclude our liability for all action We may take in response to breaches of these rules. The actions described above are not limited, and We may take any other action We reasonably deem appropriate.

17.Grant of license in contributions and moderation policy:

By submitting a contribution to the Public Areas, you agree to grant SAARNA a nonexclusive license to use that contribution and all Intellectual Property contained within it. Although you will still own the Intellectual Property in your contribution, SAARNA will have the right to freely use, edit, alter, adapt, create derivative works from, perform, play, reproduce, publish, and/or distribute the material contained in your contribution. This license will be free of charge, perpetual, and capable of sub-license. SAARNA may exercise all Intellectual Property and publicity rights in the material contained in your contribution in all jurisdictions, to their full extent and for the full period for which any such rights exist in that material. You also agree to waive all moral rights in relation to your contribution for the purposes of the license set out above. If you are not willing or in a position to grant such a license to SAARNA, please do not submit the contribution to the Public Areas.

Whilst SAARNA is under no obligation to moderate your contribution, We reserve the right to do so and exclude any liability for loss or damage you may suffer through your use of the Public Areas.

Please also note that in accordance with the Content Standards set out in these Terms, you must ensure that your contribution does not infringe any Intellectual Property right of any other person. By submitting your contribution to the Public Areas, you are warranting that you have the right to grant SAARNA the non-exclusive license described above and you indemnify Us for any breach of that warranty. You also warrant to take such steps as may be necessary to give effect to the license granted above. We have the right to disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that any material posted or uploaded by you to the Site constitutes a violation of the Intellectual Property rights.

18.Complaints:

If you wish to complain about any contribution posted to the Public Areas, please contact [email protected]. We will then review the contribution and decide whether it complies with our Content Standards. We will deal with any contribution which, in our opinion, violates our Content Standards as described above. We will inform you of the outcome of our review within a reasonable time of receiving your complaint.

Part IV – E-commerce

19.Terms and conditions of supply:

The following terms shall apply to e-commerce transactions taking place on or via the Site.

For the purposes of the clauses below:

“Publication” means any journal, book or report offered for sale in hard copy via the Site

“Digital Content” means any content acquired by you and delivered by Us in electronic form and/or any rights granted to you to access content available on the Site.

“Premium Materials” includes both Publications and Digital Content.

By placing an order through the Site, you warrant that:

(a) you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and

(b) you are at least 18 years old.

20.How the contract is formed between you and Us:

After placing an order, you will receive an email from Us acknowledging that We have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to Us to buy the Premium Materials. All orders are subject to acceptance by Us, and We will confirm such acceptance to you by the following methods:

– In the case of a Publication: sending you an email that confirms that the Publication has been dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation);

– in the case of Digital Content: giving you confirmation on screen, followed by an email containing a link to access the Digital Content.

The contract will only be formed when We send either of the communications set out above. The contract will only relate to the Premium Materials whose dispatch We confirm in the relevant email. We will not be obliged to supply products or permit access to any other content which may have been part of your order until you receive an email specifically relating to the Premium Materials.

21.Availability and Delivery:

If ordering a Publication, your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days’ of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Digital Content will be available for the period of time specified when you place your order.

22.Risk and Title of Publications:

All Publications will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

Ownership of the Publications will only pass to you when We receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Publications including delivery charges, but nothing in this clause constitutes an assignment or grant of any Intellectual Property Rights in the Publication.

23.Price and Payment:

The price of any Premium Materials will be as quoted on the Site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

Prices are liable to change from time to time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which We are already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

We are under no obligation to provide the Premium Materials to you at the incorrect(lower) price, even after We have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a mispricing.

Payment for all Premium Materials must be by credit or debit card. We will not charge your credit or debit card until We dispatch your order.

24.Import Duty & Compliance with Local Laws:

If you order Materials from the Site for delivery outside Canada, they may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that We have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

Please also note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. We will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws.

The Following additional Terms will apply if you are contracting as a Consumer:

25.Consumer Protection:

If you are contracting as a consumer and have purchased:

(a) Publications: you may cancel at any time within seven working days beginning on the day after you received the Publication or, if a Subscription, the first copy of any Publication due under such a Subscription.

(b) Digital Content: you may cancel at any time within seven working days beginning on the day after you received the information from Us about how to access to the Digital Content, provided that you have neither accessed nor made any attempt to access the Digital Content in which case this right to cancel shall not apply.

In each case, if you are eligible, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Digital Content using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase, including the cost of sending the item to you. However, if applicable, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to Us. To cancel, you must inform Us inwriting. If you have purchased a Publication, you must return this to Us immediately in the same condition in which you received it and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Publications whilst it is in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, We may have a right of action against you for compensation.

Part V – General provisions

26.Written communications:

Applicable laws require that some of the information or communications We send to you should be in writing. When using the Site, you accept that communication with Us will be mainly electronic. We will contact you by email or provide you with information by posting notices on the Site. For contractual purposes, you agree to this electronic means of communication and you acknowledge that all contracts, notices, information, and other communications that We provide to you electronically comply with any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. This communication does not affect your statutory rights.

27.Notices:

28.Transfer of rights and obligations:

These Terms and any contract for the sale or purchase of Materials conducted via the Site are binding on you and Us and on our respective successors and assigns.

We may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract, or otherwise dispose of any of our rights or obligations arising under these Terms or any contract arising related to your use of the Site, at any time.

29.Events outside our control:

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (Force Majeure Event).

Our performance under these Terms is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and We will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.

30.Waiver:

If We fail, at any time, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under any of these Terms, or if We fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which We are entitled under these Terms, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations. A waiver by Us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default and no waiver by Us of any of these terms shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing.

31.Severability:

If any of these Terms or any provisions of a contract are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition, or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions, and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

32.Entire agreement:

These Terms and any document expressly referred to in them represent the entire agreement between us in relation to the subject matter of any contract and supersede any prior agreement, understanding, or arrangement between us, whether oral or in writing.

We each acknowledge that, in entering into a contract, neither of us has relied on any representation, undertaking, or promise given by the other or implied from anything said or written in negotiations between us prior to such contract, except as expressly stated in these terms and conditions.

Neither of us shall have any remedy in respect of any untrue statement made by the other, whether orally or in writing, prior to the date of any contract (unless such untrue statement was made fraudulently) and the other party’s only remedy shall be for breach of contract as provided in these Terms.

33.Our right to vary these terms:

We have the right to revise and amend these Terms or any clause contained within then from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, and changes in our system’s capabilities except that such revisions or amendments do not apply to any dispute between you and Us arising, or arising out of events occurring, before the date of such revision or amendment.

34.Law and jurisdiction:

You agree that the courts of Canada shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes arising out of or in connection with these terms or their formation. For these purposes each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of Canada.
