We Animals may amend these Terms at any time by posting the amended terms on the Sites.

If you are dissatisfied with the services provided through the Sites, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue your use of the Sites.

You may not access, use, or attempt to access or use the Sites to take any action that could harm us, other users of the Sites, any contributing photographer or videographer to the Stock Site, or any other third party, interfere with the operation of the Sites, or use the Sites in a manner that violates any laws. For example, without limitation, you may not:

• Impersonate any person or entity or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation or the origin of materials you transmit;

• Attempt to decipher, decompile, disassemble, or reverse-engineer any of the software comprising or in any way making up a part of the Sites;
• Distribute any materials or advertise or promote goods or services, in each case that use or reference the Sites or any Works or other Content, without We Animals’ permission (including, without limitation, sending spam); or
• Engage in any other conduct that restricts or inhibits any person from using or enjoying the Sites or that, in We Animals’ sole judgment, exposes We Animals or any of We Animals’ users, affiliates, or any other third party to any liability, damages, or detriment of any type.

Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability. We Animals may investigate and work with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate these Terms. We Animals may suspend or terminate your access to the Sites for any or no reason at any time without notice.

The Sites, including without limitation all Content and all intellectual property rights in and to the same, are owned by or licensed to We Animals or We Animals’ third-party vendors.

We Animals hereby grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited license to access and use the Sites, subject to your complete compliance with these Terms and any and all other terms and policies set forth on or in the Content and/or the Sites, only for as long as such Content or Sites are made available by us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the license to the Sites does not include any license to the Works.

Unless explicitly stated herein, nothing in these Terms shall be construed as conferring any license to use the Content or any other We Animals-owned or licensed intellectual property, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. You may not do or allow anyone else to do anything with the Content which is not specifically permitted under these Terms.

“We Animals Trademarks” means all names, marks, brands, logos, designs, trade dress, slogans, and other designations We Animals uses in connection with its products and services. You may not remove or alter any We Animals Trademarks, or co-brand your own products or material with any We Animals Trademarks, without We Animals’ prior written consent, which can be granted or denied at We Animals’ sole discretion. You acknowledge We Animals’ rights in the We Animals Trademarks, and you agree not to incorporate any We Animals Trademarks into your trademarks, service marks, company names, Internet addresses, domain names or any other similar designations, for use on or in connection with your or any third party’s products, services or information.

You acknowledge that you do not acquire any ownership rights in or to the Sites or the Content by using the Sites or Content.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, We Animals disclaims and will not be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, special, incidental, consequential or exemplary damages (including, without limitation, loss of business, revenue, profits, goodwill, use, data, electronically transmitted orders or other economic advantage) arising out of or in connection with the sites, even if We Animals has previously been advised of, or reasonably could have foreseen, the possibility of such damages, however they arise, whether in breach of contract or in tort (including negligence), including without limitation damages due to: (a) the use of or the inability to use the sites; (b) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information, or services purchased or obtained, or messages received or transactions entered into, through, or from the sites; (c) statements or conduct of any third party on the sites, including without limitation unauthorized access to or alteration of transmissions or data, malicious or criminal behavior or false or fraudulent transactions; or (d) content or information you may download, use, modify or distribute.

To the extent that any jurisdiction does not allow the exclusion or limitation of direct, incidental or consequential damages, portions of the above limitation or exclusion may not apply.

In the event you have any dispute with one or more third parties as a result of your use of the Sites, or are in any way damaged as a result of any third party in connection therewith, you hereby release and covenant not to sue or otherwise make a claim, demand or file any legal action or institute any legal or regulatory proceedings against We Animals, We Animals’ affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and suppliers from, for any claims, actions, demands or damages (whether direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential), of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, whether foreseeable or not, disclosed or undisclosed.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, these Terms (including our Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and We Animals relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements between us with respect to such subject matter. Neither these Terms nor any license to use any Work are assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with We Animals’ prior written consent. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default, and any failure by us to assert any right or provision under these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms. The provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination of these Terms shall survive such termination. Any heading, caption or section title contained herein is inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way defines or explains any section or provision hereof. We Animals’ performance of these Terms is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in these Terms is in derogation of We Animals’ right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Sites or information provided to or gathered by We Animals with respect to such use.

These Terms shall for all purposes be governed, interpreted, construed, and enforced solely and exclusively in accordance with the law of Ontario, without regard to conflicts of law provisions thereof. You agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any dispute with We Animals or its licensors, or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, representatives or suppliers, arising out of or in any way relating to these Terms or your use of or inability to use the Sites, services, or Content shall reside in the federal and state courts serving the city of Toronto, Ontario. You expressly consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by such courts and agree that you will not object to jurisdiction of or venue in such courts on the grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction, forum non conveniens, or otherwise.
