6. Ownership, Copyright and Trademarks


Content provided by Users is called “User Content”, as defined above. Except as described herein, User Content is the property of its respective owners. User Content on Caredove may include information about a Member Organization (other than Member Organization Contact Information), referral information, reports and other text, information, data, images, videos, forms, sounds and other data uploaded by a User to the Services. Depending on the rights, privileges and settings of your User Account, your User Content may be viewed by other Users. Caredove’s only right to use that User Content is the limited licenses to it granted in these Terms. Those licenses are described in Section 7 of these Terms.

Other than User Content, the Services (including the design of the Services), the Caredove Platform, all Content (including Member Organization Contact Information and Member and Member Organization lists) and any other software used to create and operate the Services is the property of Caredove or its licensors, and is protected by Canadian and international copyright laws, and all rights to Services, such Content and such software are expressly reserved. All trademarks, registered trademarks, product names and company names or logos mentioned on the Services are the property of their respective owners.

Your User Content is your responsibility. We have no responsibility or liability for it, or for any loss or damage your User Content may cause to you or other people. User Content must comply with the User Content Guidelines outlined in Section 8 below. Although we have no obligation to do so, we have the absolute discretion to remove, screen or edit without notice any User Content posted or stored on the Services, and we may do this at any time and for any reason. You are solely responsible for maintaining copies of and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Services.

7. Your Limited Licence of Your User Content to Caredove


We do not claim any ownership interest in your User Content, but we do need the right to use your User Content to the extent necessary to provide the Services, now and in the future. For example, if you provide information about a Member Organization or post available times for potential clients to meet with a healthcare practitioner, we need your license to display that User Content on the Services, and we need the right to sublicense that User Content to our other Users so that they can view that User Content.

Therefore, by posting or distributing User Content to or through the Services, you (a) grant Caredove and its affiliates and subsidiaries a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable right to use, display, perform, reproduce, distribute, publish, modify, adapt, translate and create derivative works from such User Content, in the manner in and for the purposes which the Services from time to time use such User Content; (b) represent and warrant that (i) you own and control all of the rights to the User Content, or otherwise have the lawful right to post and distribute that User Content, to or through the Services; and (ii) the use and posting or other transmission of such User Content does not violate these Terms (including the User Content Guidelines described Section 8 below) and will not violate any rights of or cause injury to any person or entity.

If your User Content is intended for the use of other Users, you also grant us and our affiliates and subsidiaries a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable right to sublicense such User Content to such Users for their use in connection with their use of the Services or third party services that integrate with the Services, as described in this Section.

8. User Content Guidelines, Copyright Policy, Content Disclaimers


User Content Guidelines

The Services may permit certain Users to upload or input User Content. The type of User Content that a User is permitted to upload or input will depend on the rights and privileges that that are associated with their User Account. User Content submitted to any public area of the Services will be considered non-confidential. You agree not to post, upload to, transmit, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish through the Services any of the following:

  • Any data, information, text, music, sound, photos, graphics, code or other material that is unlawful, libellous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, harassing, racist, prejudiced, threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent or otherwise objectionable in the sole opinion of Caredove;
  • Content that Caredove determines in its sole opinion is intended to “spam” or “phish” from other Users, including the posting of Content outside of appropriate categories or feeds;
  • Content that would constitute, encourage or provide instructions for a criminal offense, violate the rights of any party or that would otherwise create liability or violate any local, provincial, state, national or international law;
  • Content that may infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual or proprietary right of any party;
  • Private information of any third party, including without limitation, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and credit card numbers, unless that third party has expressly consented to such use;
  • Viruses, malware, keyloggers, corrupted data or other harmful, disruptive or destructive files;
  • Content that is unrelated to the use of the Services; or
  • Content that in the sole judgment of Caredove, is objectionable or which restricts or inhibits any other person from using or enjoying the Services, or which may expose Caredove or its affiliates or its Users to any harm or liability of any type.

In addition, any listings of Public Services must follow the following guidelines:

  • Service listing information that is posted should be placed in the relevant service category. For example, a Meals on Wheels service should be placed in the Meals on Wheels category.
  • Service listing information should be accurate with clear descriptions about the attributes of the service. Costs should be fully disclosed. Service coverage areas should be accurate, and should represent zones where service is actually delivered; and
  • Service listings may be posted, edited and improved by other Users with authority and information to do so. Do not undo, delete or otherwise remove the work of other Users unless you are making an improvement to the accuracy or relevancy of the description.

Any use of the Services in violation of the foregoing violates the Terms and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Services.

Copyright Policy

Caredove respects the intellectual property rights of others. By submitting User Content through the Services, you represent and warrant that doing so does not infringe any third party’s copyrights, trade-marks, privacy rights, or other intellectual property or legal rights of any kind.

If we are notified that any User has posted, shared or saved any Content which allegedly do not conform to these Terms, we may, in our sole discretion, investigate the allegation and determine whether to take any other actions. You may also be subject to civil and criminal penalties, including without limitation monetary damages, if you violate any third party’s legal rights.

If you believe that your Content has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please contact us and provide all information relevant to any claim of infringement by e-mailing legal@caredove.com.

Before obtaining services or treatment from a Member Organization or referring a client to a Member Organization, ensure that you or your organization takes the time to evaluate such Member Organization (and their healthcare practitioners) to confirm relevant certifications, accreditations, the quality of the services they offer, Available Appointments, and the accuracy of the information they have provided through the Services.

These Third Parties are solely responsible for the information found on their respective websites.

14. Applicable Law and Venue


The Services are controlled by Caredove Inc. and operated by it from its offices in Toronto, Ontario.

Therefore, you and Caredove explicitly agree that all disputes, claims or other matters arising from or relating to your use of the Services will be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

Except where prohibited by applicable law, any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract or tort, pursuant to statute or regulation, or otherwise, and whether preexisting, present or future) arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms; (b) the Services or Content; (c) oral or written statements relating to these Terms or to the Services; or (d) the relationships that result from these Terms or the Services or Content (collectively, a “Claim”) will be referred to and determined by a sole arbitrator (to the exclusion of the courts).  Except where prohibited by applicable law, you waive any right you may have to commence or participate in any class action against Caredove related to any Claim and, where applicable, you also agree to opt out of any class proceedings against Caredove.  If you have a Claim, you should give written notice to arbitrate at the address specified below.  If we have a Claim, we will give you notice to arbitrate at your address or e-mail address provided in your Registration Data. Arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator pursuant to the commercial arbitration laws and rules in effect on the date of the notice in the Province of Ontario.

To the extent arbitration as described in the immediately preceding paragraph is prohibited by applicable law, you agree that all Claims will be heard and resolved in a court of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in Toronto, Ontario. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts over you, stipulate to the fairness and convenience of proceeding in such courts, and covenant not to assert any objection to proceeding in such courts.

If you choose to access the Services from locations other than Ontario, you will be responsible for compliance with all local laws of such other jurisdiction and you agree to indemnify Caredove and the other Released Parties for your failure to comply with any such laws.

15. Termination of Agreement

When your account is terminated, any User Content you have uploaded to the Services may remain on the Services. The license you grant to us in Section 7 therefore survives the termination of this Agreement. In addition, we may retain an archival copy of your User Content after termination, and you therefore hereby grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable license to maintain such archival copy for our internal business purposes.

If these Terms expire or terminate for any reason, Sections 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 and 16, and any representation or warranty you make in these Terms, shall also survive indefinitely.

16. Miscellaneous
