Disputes
- Disputes and Claims: If any dispute or claim of any type arises between us with regard to your use of the CAPS website or any products or services sold or distributed through the website, the dispute or claim will be resolved in Ontario, or remotely, by binding arbitration, rather than through the courts. The exception to this requirement is described in subparagraph (e) below. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury. The arbitrator, however, can award damages just as a judge or jury can.

We will jointly select a single arbitrator, but if we cannot agree on the selection of an arbitrator, we will each select our own arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected will in turn select a third, who will be the arbitrator who will conduct the arbitration. The arbitrator may conduct the arbitration by teleconference or videoconference. If the arbitrator deems it necessary to conduct the arbitration in person, the arbitration will be held in Ottawa at a location which is mutually agreeable to us. In the event we can't agree on a location, the arbitrator shall choose a location in Ottawa, taking into account the cost and ability to travel of the parties.
- Arbitration Fees and Incentives: The Act will govern payment of all arbitration fees.
- No Class Actions: We agree that all disputes between us will be resolved on an individual basis, and you may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action.

- Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Either you or CAPS may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Ottawa, Ontario only. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Site, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in the arbitration procedure described above.
- YOU UNDERSTAND: BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AS SET FORTH ABOVE, THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO RESOLVE YOUR DISPUTE OR CLAIM THROUGH OTHER AVAILABLE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, INCLUDING COURT ACTIONS OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE ALSO WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND, PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH (d) ABOVE, YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ARBITRATIONS, ACTIONS , OR CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS OF ANY KIND. YOU ALSO AGREE NOT TO COMMENCE A DISPUTE AGAINST ANY OTHER PERSON OR CORPORATION WHO MIGHT CLAIM CONTRIBUTION OR INDEMNITY AGAINST CAPS UNDER THE PROVISION OF A CONTRACT OR THROUGH A CLAIM IN NEGLIGENCE. IF YOU DO COMMENCE SUCH AN ACTION OR TAKE ANY SUCH PROCEEDINGS, THEN THE YOU WILL BE LIABLE FOR THE LEGAL COSTS INCURRED BY CAPS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING ON A SUBSTANTIAL INDEMNITY SCALE. THESE TERMS SHALL OPERATE CONCLUSIVELY AS AN ESTOPPEL IN THE EVENT OF ANY CLAIM, ACTION, COMPLAINT, CAUSE OF ACTION, PROCEEDING OR DEMAND WHICH MIGHT BE BROUGHT IN THE FUTURE BY YOU.
- Governing Law: Arbitrations Act, 1991, S.O. 1991, c. 17 and other Provincial and Federal Laws will govern this agreement to arbitrate.
