You represent that you have obtained all necessary permissions from any person or entity identified in or implicated by your submission (including those shown in photographic or video content), and, in the case of minors, also from their parents or legal guardians, as appropriate.

If you are under the legal drinking age in your jurisdiction of residence, you may not provide any User Content to us.

Links and Third Party Content

The Services may contain links to other websites or online services that are not under the control of Arterra. Such links do not constitute an endorsement by Arterra of those other websites or online services, the content they display, or people associated with them. The Terms do not apply to such other websites and online services, and such websites and online services are not part of the Services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of use of these other websites or services.

We may incorporate third party services, software, technology, data, and/or other content, either independently or in connection with various programs, features, or functions available through the Services. Your use of third‑party materials may be subject to terms of use other than these Terms and as may be set forth by third party providers, as applicable. You agree that Arterra assumes no liability with respect to your use of such third‑party materials, whether you are aware of their use or not and whether or not the use of such materials is recommended by Arterra.

You may link to our Services provided that you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it. You must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest or imply any form of association, approval, or endorsement on our part where none exists. We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission without notice.

Wine Clubs

Subscribers to Arterra’s wine clubs are subject to the terms and conditions of each wine club and their subscription packages, which may include but are not limited to the Great Estates Niagara, Great Estates Okanagan, Inniskillin and Jackson-Triggs Wine Clubs. These terms and conditions may be updated from time to time on the Wine Club websites. Please check the websites directly for current terms and conditions, or contact the wine clubs directly or at the Contact Information below if you have questions about subscriptions packages or your wine club membership.

Disclaimer

The material on our Services could include technical inaccuracies or other errors. Your use and browsing of our Services is at your risk. Neither Arterra Wines Canada, Inc. or its affiliates, nor any other party involved in creating, producing or delivering the website shall be liable for any direct, incidental, consequential, indirect or punitive damages arising out of your access to, or use of, the website. Arterra does not warrant that the functional aspects of the website will be uninterrupted or error free, or that this website or the server that makes it available is free of viruses or other harmful components. Without limiting the foregoing, everything on the website is provided to you "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON INFRINGEMENT. Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. Arterra reserves the right to make changes to this website at any time without notice.

Termination

In our sole discretion, we may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to and use of the Services, with or without prior notice. Arterra is not responsible for any error in copy or images relating to the Services or any other products offered via the Services. Errors will be corrected when discovered and Arterra reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any error, inaccuracy, or omission (including after an order has been submitted).

Otherwise applicable sections of these Terms shall survive termination. Arterra also reserves the right to seek all remedies available at law and in equity for violations of these Terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Services, including any of the Arterra Content.

Governing Law

Except where prohibited by applicable law, which may include the Province of Quebec, the following terms apply to all legal disputes between you and Arterra. These Terms are governed by the laws of Canada and the province of Ontario, without giving effect to their principles of conflicts of law. Except where prohibited by applicable law, which may include the Province of Quebec, by using the Services, you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of other provinces, countries, territories, or jurisdictions.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Arterra, its affiliates and licensors, and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, contractors, agents, employees, general and limited partners, successors, and assigns from and against any and all demands, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, interest, penalties, losses, costs, expenses, and harms, including without limitation reasonable legal fees and fees of other professional advisers, arising out of or in connection with (i) your use of the Services, (ii) your online conduct in connection with the Services, (iii) your (or anyone acting under your password or username) violation or breach of these Terms, (iv) your failure to comply with any applicable laws or regulations in connection with the Services, (v) your negligence, willful misconduct, or violations of the intellectual property or other rights of any person in connection with the Services, or (vi) any of your dealings or transactions with other persons, persons or third party platforms resulting from use of the Services. These obligations will survive any termination of these Terms.

Integration, Severability and Waiver

These Terms and all other legal notices, statements or terms and conditions posted or made available to you on the Services constitute the entire agreement between Arterra and you. In the event any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions and will be replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision. Our failure to enforce any provisions of the Terms or respond to a breach by you or other parties shall not in any way waive our right to enforce subsequently any terms or conditions of the Terms or to act with respect to similar breaches.
