Performance and Fitness for Purpose
Unless any performance figures, tolerances or characteristics have been specifically and expressly warranted by a director of HK in writing, HK accepts no liability for any failure of the goods to obtain such figures, whether attributable to HK's negligence or otherwise. The responsibility for ensuring that goods are sufficient and suitable for a particular purpose is the customer's unless specifically stated in writing by a director of HK. Any advice or recommendation given by an employee of HK which is not confirmed in writing by a director of HK is acted on entirely at the customer's risk and HK shall not be liable for any such advice or recommendation which is not so confirmed.

Liability
HK shall not be liable for any damage, loss, or expense resulting from the failure to give advice or information or the giving of incorrect advice or information whether or not due to the negligence of HK, its employees, agents, or subcontractors. These conditions of sale set out the entire liability of HK to the customer in respect of the goods and shall be in lieu and to the exclusion of all other warranties, conditions, and other terms implied by statute or common law save for any implied terms which by law cannot be excluded. Nothing in these conditions of sale excludes or limits the liability of HK for death or personal injury caused by HK's negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation. HK's total liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation or otherwise shall be limited to repairing, replacing, or at HK's option refunding monies already paid in respect of the goods. HK shall not be liable to the customer for any indirect or consequential loss or damage (whether for loss of profit, loss of business, depletion of goodwill, or otherwise) costs, expenses, or other claims for consequential compensation whatsoever (whether caused by the negligence of HK, its employees, agents, or subcontractors) which arise out of or in connection with any contract.

Personal Data
"Personal Data" means, data relating to any customer, enquirer, or any representative of a customer who is (in any case) a living individual. Personal Data is any data from which (whether alone or in combination with other information held by HK) HK can identify that customer or representative, regardless of how and when that data is provided. By accepting these terms and conditions, the customer or representative hereby agrees that HK may process Personal Data for the following purposes from time to time:

• HK deciding whether to enter into any contract or agreement with that customer. This may include credit reference searches, against a customer or the principal representatives of a customer;
• Direct Marketing of HK's products and services, and that of carefully selected third parties whose products and services HK believes may be of interest to the customer. The customer is given the opportunity to expressly opt-out of this purpose, on ordering, on all future marketing activity and at any time in the future by contacting Human Kinetics Canada, 475 Devonshire Road, Unit 100, Windsor, ON, N8Y 2L5;
• Email Marketing of HK's products and services, and that of carefully selected third parties whose products and services HK believes may be of interest to the customer. All subsequent email marketing from HK will give the customer the opportunity to opt-out of this method of communication;
• Crime prevention or detection.

The processing of Personal Data may also involve:

• The disclosure of that Personal Data to HK's agents, advisers, and representatives;
• The disclosure of that Personal Data to carefully selected third parties whose products and services that HK believes may be of interest to that customer or representative, subject to the customers individual opt-in and opt-out preferences;
• By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions you agree that we may also disclose information about you to HK's parent company, Human Kinetics, Inc., of Illinois, USA. Although the USA does not have the same laws to protect your information, HKUSA's purposes may involve only retention of the data, limited specific marketing, and the fulfillment of journal subscriptions. Please be assured that Human Kinetics takes your data protection very seriously.

Force Majeure
HK shall not be liable to the customer in any manner or be deemed to be in breach of these conditions of sale because of any delay in performing or any failure to perform any of HK's obligations under these conditions of sale if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond HK's reasonable control (which shall include, but not be limited to government actions, war, fire, terrorism, explosion, flood, import or export regulations or embargoes, labour disputes, or inability to obtain or a delay in obtaining supplies of goods or labour). HK may, at its option, delay the performance of, or cancel the whole or any part of a contract.

Legal Construction
All contracts shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with Canada law and the customer submits to the jurisdiction of the Canadian Courts, but HK may enforce such contract in any court of competent jurisdiction.

General
Any provision of these conditions of sale which is held by any competent authority to be invalid, void, voidable, unenforceable, or unreasonable (in whole or in part) shall to the extent of such invalidity, voidness, voidability, unenforceability, or unreasonableness be deemed severable and the other provisions of these conditions of sale and the remainder of such provision shall not be affected.

Failure by HK to enforce or partially enforce any provision of these conditions of sale will not be constrained as a waiver of any rights under these conditions of sale. HK reserves the right to modify these terms at any time without prior notice. Any modification of these terms will be deemed to be effective from the date and time of posting on HK's website or published within HK's marketing and publicity materials.
