You agree that we and others who administer such services (as applicable), may send Communications to you by email and/or may make Communications available to you by posting them at our website, www.xpertvr.ca. You consent to receive these Communications electronically. The term “Communications” means any notice, record, agreement, or other type of information that is made available to you or received from you in connection with the Services or third-party services. We may also send Communications to you using the means listed below.

  1. The decision whether to do business electronically is yours, and you should consider whether you have the required hardware and software capabilities described below.

Simulation Training Disclaimer. XpertVR’s software and services, including XpertFire, are designed as supplemental training tools only. They are not a substitute for live training, departmental safety protocols, or any certification program required by applicable law, regulation, or your organization. Completion of any XpertVR simulation does not certify, guarantee, or imply real-world competency, readiness, or fitness for duty. XpertVR makes no representation that use of its simulations will prevent injury or ensure safety in real-world firefighting or emergency response situations. You acknowledge that firefighting and emergency response carry inherent risks that no simulation can fully replicate or mitigate, and that you bear sole responsibility for your actions in real-world environments.

Your use of the Services is entirely at your own risk. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, XpertVR disclaims all warranties and liabilities of any kind arising from or related to your use of the Services.

Neither XpertVR, its affiliates, nor any third-party service providers, licensors, or distributors (“Representatives”) make any express, implied, or statutory warranties or conditions regarding the Services. This includes, but is not limited to, warranties or conditions relating to performance, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, security, accuracy, or non-infringement.

You acknowledge and agree that you assume the entire risk as to the quality, reliability, and performance of the Services. Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of certain implied warranties, so parts of this disclaimer may not apply to you.

XpertVR, its affiliates, and its Representatives further make no representation or warranty that your use of the Services will ensure or satisfy compliance with any applicable laws, regulations, or legal obligations.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, XpertVR and its affiliates, subsidiaries, and representatives (“Representatives”) shall not be liable to you or any third party for any consequential, incidental, special, indirect, punitive, or exemplary damages of any kind — including, without limitation, lost profits, lost savings, loss or corruption of data, business interruption, or other economic or commercial losses — regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based, even if XpertVR or its Representatives have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Without limiting the foregoing, the total cumulative liability of XpertVR, its affiliates, and Representatives arising from or relating to this Agreement shall not exceed fifty Canadian dollars (CAD $50.00). These limitations, exclusions, and disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and form an essential basis of the bargain between you and XpertVR. You acknowledge that XpertVR would not have made the Services available without such limitations.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless XpertVR, its affiliates, and Representatives from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and costs) arising out of or related to your use of the Services or your violation of this Agreement (collectively, “Claims”).

XpertVR reserves the right, at its sole discretion and expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any Claim. You agree to cooperate fully with XpertVR in the defense of any such Claim, as reasonably requested.

We reserve the right to modify this Agreement, in our sole discretion, at any time. Such modifications may be posted through the Services, on our website for the Services or when we notify you by other means. We may also change or discontinue the Services, in whole or in part. It is important that you review this Agreement whenever we modify it because your continued use of the Services indicates your agreement to the modifications.

XpertVR may, in its sole discretion and without notice, restrict, deny, terminate this Agreement or suspend the Services, effective immediately, in whole or in part, if we determine that your use of the Services violates the Agreement, is improper or substantially exceeds or differs from normal use by other users, raises suspicion of fraud, misuse, security concern, illegal activity or unauthorized access issues, to protect the integrity or availability of the Services or systems and comply with applicable XpertVR policy, or if you no longer agree to receive electronic communications, or if your use of the Services conflicts with XpertVR’s interests or those of another user of the Services. 

XpertVR further reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at its sole discretion and for any reason with fifteen (15) days’ prior notice. Upon termination, you must immediately stop using the Services and any outstanding payments will become due. Any termination of this Agreement shall not affect XpertVR’s rights to any payments due to it. XpertVR may terminate a free account at any time. Sections which by nature should survive any expiration, termination, or rescission of this Agreement will be continuing obligations of the User.

The laws of the Province of Ontario governs this Agreement without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

This Agreement, including all services agreements, attachments, exhibits, and scheduled annexed thereto, is the entire agreement between you and XpertVR regarding its subject matter and replaces all prior understandings, communications and agreements, oral or written, regarding its subject matter. Any license of or purchase of XpertVR Services and support are made pursuant solely to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

Notwithstanding the content of any purchase order, sales order, sales confirmation, or any other printed or pre-printed document relating to the subject matter herein, the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall take precedence over any contract or other document between you and XpertVR, and shall be incorporated by reference into any subsequent purchase order, sales order, or contract, and any conflicting, inconsistent, or additional terms and conditions contained therein shall be null and void. If any court of law, having the jurisdiction, rules that any part of this Agreement is invalid, the parties agree that such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Agreement, and further agree to substitute for the invalid provision a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision. You may not assign your rights and obligations under this 

Agreement, but XpertVR may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part: 

(a) to a parent or direct or indirect subsidiary; 

(b) in any acquisition or by operation of law; or 

(c) to a successor by merger. XpertVR has the right to change or add to the terms of this Agreement, and to change, delete, discontinue, or impose conditions on any feature or aspect of the Services, including but not limited to, terms, services, pricing, technical support options, and other product-related policies, at any time upon notice by any means XpertVR determines in its discretion to be reasonable, including posting information concerning such change on any XpertVR website. Your continued use of the Services after XpertVR’s publication of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as modified.
