Terms of use · Shield Dynamics

1. Acceptance

This website is operated by Shield Dynamics Inc. ("Shield Dynamics", "we", "us"), an Ontario corporation with its head office at 1153 Trellis Trail, Minden, Ontario K0M 2K0, Canada. By using it, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you use the website on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these terms for it. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

2. Information only; no offer

The website provides general information about Shield Dynamics and its work. The platforms described here are in development, and their capabilities are subject to testing and validation. Nothing on the website is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any product, service or technology. Any sale or transfer will be made only under a written agreement and only when all required government authorisations have been obtained.

3. Export controls and sanctions

Our products and technology may be subject to export-control and sanctions laws. In Canada, these include the Export and Import Permits Act and the Export Control List, the Controlled Goods Program under the Defence Production Act, and the Special Economic Measures Act. In the United States, they include the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR, 22 C.F.R. Parts 120–130), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 C.F.R. Parts 730–774), and sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

The website contains only information intended for public release. It does not contain controlled technical data or technology, and nothing on it grants any right to receive such information. You agree that you will not use the website to request, send or obtain controlled goods, technical data or technology except through an appropriate channel that we have approved in writing. You also confirm that you are not a person or entity with whom we are prohibited from dealing under applicable sanctions or restricted-party rules.

4. Forward-looking statements

The website may contain statements about our plans, development milestones, expected capabilities and future performance. These statements are based on current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties, including technical, regulatory and funding risks. Actual results may differ materially. We have no obligation to update them, except as required by law.

5. Intellectual property

The website and its content, including text, drawings, graphics, logos and software, are owned by or licensed to Shield Dynamics. They are protected by Canadian, U.S. and international copyright, trademark and other laws. The names and logos "Shield Dynamics", "Eagle", "Tortoise" and "Cobra" identify us and our products. You may view the website and print or download pages for your own non-commercial reference, provided you keep all proprietary notices. Any other use requires our prior written permission. That includes reproducing, modifying, distributing or creating derivative works from the content, and using our names or logos.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

use the website in a way that breaks any law, including export-control and sanctions laws;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its servers or connected systems, or probe, scan or test their vulnerabilities without our written permission;
interfere with the website's operation, including by denial-of-service attacks, malware, or excessive automated requests;
scrape or harvest content or personal information, except for standard search-engine indexing that follows our robots.txt;
send false, misleading, abusive or unsolicited commercial content through our forms; or
impersonate any person or organisation, or misrepresent your affiliation with us.

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly to security@shield-dynamics.com. Don't access data that isn't yours, and don't disrupt the service.

7. Your submissions

Please don't send us confidential or proprietary information, unsolicited ideas or proposals through the website, unless a written agreement with us covers it. Unless such an agreement applies, information you submit through the website is not confidential and doesn't create any obligation for us, apart from our obligations under the privacy policy for personal information.

8. Third-party links

The website may link to websites we don't control. We are not responsible for their content, policies or practices. A link does not mean we endorse the site.

9. Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. This includes implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that the information on it is complete, accurate or current.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Shield Dynamics and its directors, officers, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim relating to the website will not exceed CAD $100.

Some jurisdictions, including Québec and some U.S. states, do not allow certain warranties or liabilities to be excluded or limited. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions and limitations above apply only to the extent permitted. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have as a consumer that cannot be waived by contract.

11. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Shield Dynamics and its directors, officers, employees and agents against claims, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your breach of these terms or your misuse of the website.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario for any dispute relating to the website. However, if you are a consumer, mandatory laws of the place where you live, and your right to bring proceedings there, still apply where the law says they cannot be excluded. This covers consumers in Québec and in U.S. states whose consumer-protection laws cannot be waived. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

13. General

We may update these terms by posting a revised version on this page with a new "last updated" date. Continuing to use the website after that means you accept the revised terms. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. If we don't enforce a provision, that doesn't waive it. These terms and the privacy policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the website. Any separate written agreement with us, for example a non-disclosure or supply agreement, prevails over these terms for its subject matter.

The parties have requested that these terms be drawn up in English.
