For the purposes of these Terms, the expressions "you" or " your" refer to you as a visitor to our Site, a requester of information or a beneficiary of our Services, as a representative of a company seeking to be matched with accounting specialists through BANKEO.
To the extent permitted by law, we reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to modify these Terms, or any part thereof, at any time.

THESE TERMS CONSTITUTE A BINDING AGREEMENT REGARDING YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM. BY USING AND ACCESSING THE PLATFORM, YOU: (I) CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD EACH OF THE TERMS OF THESE TERMS; AND (II) ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THEM. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM. IN THIS CASE, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLATFORM AND YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE IT.
Service offer
BANKEO broker. A " BANKEO Broker " refers to a BANKEO representative whose role is to assist you in qualifying your needs and to facilitate your pairing with one or more accounting specialists in the BANKEO network. The BANKEO Broker does not act as a financial, accounting or tax advisor and does not provide any professional advice.
How it works. When you have completed your request for information, in which you specify the services you require, we will transfer this information to a BANKEO Broker who will take care of you to maximize your qualification before your request is presented to a qualified accounting specialist(s) in your sector, who are specialized in the type of work you wish to carry out and who are competent in the jurisdiction(s) where you operate your company. The BANKEO Broker will introduce you to the accounting specialist(s) interested in your request, including their service offer.
Note, however, that BANKEO cannot guarantee that an accounting specialist will be paired to carry out the activities you are considering or that accounting specialists will serve your geographic area or jurisdiction where your business operates.
Information disclosed when requesting a proposal for Services. When using BANKEO's Services, you will be required to disclose certain information regarding your needs when requesting a Service. Some of this information will be sent to accounting specialists or professionals, who will use it to contact you and offer you a price, or to any other person or group related to BANKEO in order to follow up on the request for a offer of Services. By sending us this information and the request for a service offer, you formally consent to be contacted by BANKEO, accounting specialists or other professionals in our network, by telephone, text message (SMS), email, post or any other electronic means of communication at the numbers and addresses you have provided in your request for a service offer. This will allow us to better monitor the Services we offer on our Platform, address any questions related to your customer profile or any other reasonable purpose related to your request for Services.
Responsibility and Accuracy of Information Disclosed. You are fully responsible for any information entered or uploaded by you through the Platform, and you release BANKEO from any liability in this regard. Notwithstanding the above, if the information submitted is, in whole or in part, inaccurate, not current, false or incomplete or BANKEO has reasonable grounds to believe that said information is inaccurate, not current, false or incomplete, BANKEO reserves the right not to respond to any request for an offer of Services and may refuse you access, to the Platform and to the Services, in whole or in part, following such an erroneous request for an offer of Services. In short, you are solely responsible for the use of BANKEO's Online Services that you may make or for any person who intentionally or unintentionally accesses your customer profile and any transmission or attempted transmission of false information, including in particular, name, telephone number, address and email address are likely to cause loss and/or damage to BANKEO, to accounting specialists who are members of our network and to any other user and exposes you, without limitation, to recourse by BANKEO for damages.
Selection of accounting specialists. BANKEO sets up a selection process to verify the professional title, skills and qualifications of accounting specialists wishing to join the BANKEO network. This process is a reasonable effort and is in no way a guarantee of the quality of the services provided to you by an accounting specialist.
Information for accounting specialists. BANKEO is not responsible for updating the profiles of the accounting specialists who are members of our network. BANKEO tries to keep the information of accounting specialists on its Platform up to date following requests for information and to modify it when necessary. BANKEO suggests that any user verify the information of an accounting specialist chosen and indicated on the Platform before signing any service contract resulting from a request for a service offer filed in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. For the sake of clarity, BANKEO disclaims any responsibility and makes no guarantee, in relation to the selection process, the selection criteria, the information obtained or presented during the selection process or the disclosure of such information. BANKEO is also not responsible for ensuring that the screening and verification process is sufficient or that the information received during the selection and verification process is accurate, up-to-date and error-free.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ITS AFFILIATES (IF ANY), AND RELATED ENTITIES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, CONTRACTORS AND LICENSORS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISION OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY AN ACCOUNTING PROFESSIONAL. ALTHOUGH BANKEO RIGOROUSLY VERIFIES THE PROFESSIONAL TITLE AND SKILLS OF ALL ACCOUNTING SPECIALISTS, BANKEO MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE SKILLS AND QUALITY OF SERVICE OF THE ACCOUNTING SPECIALISTS YOU WILL ENGAGE FOLLOWING A REQUEST FOR A SERVICE OFFER. IT IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU AND THE SELECTED ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST TO EXECUTE A REQUEST FOR SERVICES, DRAFT A CONTRACT FOR SERVICES, OR AGREE ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE WORK. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL BANKEO GUARANTEE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST SELECTED BY YOU, NOR THE QUALITY AND FINAL RESULT OF THE WORK REQUIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SERVICE OFFER. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BANKEO'S LIABILITY MAY NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID TO BANKEO DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE FILING OF ANY CLAIM.
FURTHERMORE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BANKEO, ITS AFFILIATES (IF ANY), AND RELATED ENTITIES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, CONTRACTORS AND LICENSORS, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS, EXTERNAL SITES, THE USE, INTERRUPTION, DELAY OR INABILITY TO ACCESS AND USE THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING IN THE EVENT OF A BREAKDOWN, NETWORK ISSUES, FORCE MAJEURE OR EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL, OR ANY DAMAGES THAT MAY ARISE THEREFROM. BANKEO MAY, AT ANY TIME AND WITHOUT NOTICE, TEMPORARILY INTERRUPT ACCESS TO THE PLATFORM FOR MAINTENANCE REASONS AIMED AT ITS PROPER FUNCTIONING, WITHOUT HAVING TO GRANT COMPENSATION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE SCOPE OF THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL BANKEO BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS, YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ACCOUNTING SPECIALISTS WHERE APPLICABLE, THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PLATFORM, THE INFORMATION AND DATA PROVIDED THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR ITS ACCURACY, OR ANY DECISION MADE BY YOU BASED ON SUCH INFORMATION AND DATA PROVIDED THROUGH THE PLATFORM. YOU AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE APPROPRIATE DECISIONS BASED ON YOUR EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED TO YOU UNDER THESE TERMS AND ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY THAT BANKEO OR ITS AFFILIATES (IF ANY) MAY HAVE IN RESPECT OF YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM WILL BE SOLELY UNDER THESE TERMS.
Indemnification.
By using the Platform, you agree to indemnify and hold BANKEO, its affiliates (if any), and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and licensors (collectively the " BANKEO Indemnitees ") harmless from and against any and all damages, claims, liabilities, losses, costs, fines, penalties and liabilities, including reasonable legal fees, that the BANKEO Indemnitees may incur or be required to pay, directly or as a result of a claim by a third party resulting from: (i) any services offered by an accounting specialist in the BANKEO network; (ii) your use of the Platform; (iii) any use of your Content permitted by these Terms; (iv) any complaint by a third party regarding electronic solicitation messages sent by you; and (v) any other alleged violation of these Terms by you.
FOR THE SAKE OF CLARITY, BANKEO ONLY ACTS AS AN INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN YOU AND AN ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST. THEREFORE, YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR INTERACTIONS WITH THE ACCOUNTING SPECIALISTS IN THE BANKEO NETWORK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE THE BANKEO INDEMNITEES FROM ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY RELATED TO ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE OF AN ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST, ANY ACTION OR INACTION OF AN ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST IN THE BANKEO NETWORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE INABILITY TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LEGISLATION AND/OR THE INABILITY TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF A SERVICE OFFERING.
Non-circumvention and disintermediation.
You acknowledge that BANKEO invests considerable resources in the selection, qualification and matching of accounting specialists in its network. Consequently, you undertake, for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the last pairing carried out through BANKEO, not to circumvent BANKEO's Services by retaining, directly or indirectly, the services of an accounting specialist who has been introduced to you by BANKEO, without going through BANKEO.
This obligation applies to any new mandate or renewal of a mandate with the said accounting specialist, as well as to any attempt to retain the services of another accounting specialist without going through BANKEO, in particular in the event of dissatisfaction with the specialist initially matched by BANKEO. It does not apply to mandates already in progress at the time of the match or to accounting specialists with whom you had a documented pre-existing business relationship prior to the match carried out by BANKEO.
In addition, if you are dissatisfied with the accounting specialist who has been matched to you and you return to BANKEO to make a new match, the twenty-four (24) month period provided for above begins to run again from the date of the new match.
In the event of a breach of this clause, you agree to pay to BANKEO, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, a lump sum of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) per breach, without prejudice to BANKEO's right to claim additional damages if the actual damages exceed this amount.
External Sites.
The Platform may contain hyperlinks to external websites (managed in particular by accounting specialists and other professional partners of BANKEO) that take you away from the Platform (the " External Sites "). You acknowledge and agree that BANKEO is not responsible for the availability of such External Sites or for the accuracy of the content, products or services available on such External Sites. Hyperlinks to External Sites do not mean that BANKEO approves or endorses these External Sites. You acknowledge and agree that you assume all risks arising from your use of the External Sites. By using the Platform, you expressly release BANKEO from any liability arising from your use of any External Site, and you are bound by the terms of use and privacy policy applicable to such External Sites. In addition, unless you have signed a written contract with BANKEO expressly allowing you to do so, you may not provide a hypertext link to the Platform from other websites. BANKEO reserves the right to revoke its consent to any link at any time and at its sole discretion.
General
Export regulations. The Platform may be subject to export control laws, including Canadian and U.S. export control laws. You shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, distribute the Platform to, or make the Platform available from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export or dissemination is prohibited by law, rules or regulation. You must comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations and rules, and fulfill all required commitments (including obtaining any necessary export licenses or other governmental approvals), before exporting, re-exporting, re-distributing or otherwise making the Platform available outside of Canada and the United States.
Survival of dispositions. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination of these Terms, will survive termination, including provisions relating to ownership, no warranty, limitation of liability, and indemnification.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them.
Notice. We may provide you with any required legal notices (including service of process) by any lawful method, including posting notices on the Platform or sending notices to any email address you provide when establishing your customer profile on the Platform or that you provide during any other interaction with us or the Platform. BANKEO welcomes your comments, questions and feedback that can be sent to: contact@bankeo.ca.
Entire Agreement. These Terms and Conditions, together with the Privacy Policy and, where applicable, any service agreement entered into between you and an accounting specialist through BANKEO, constitute the entirety and exclusivity of the Terms between BANKEO and you regarding the Platform, and they supersede all prior agreements, oral or written, between BANKEO and you.
Waiver; severability. The fact that BANKEO does not assert a right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision in the future. The waiver of such right or provision shall be effective only if made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of BANKEO. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, BANKEO's exercise of any of its remedies under these Terms is without prejudice to its other remedies.
Force majeure. BANKEO is not liable to you, and is not deemed to be in default or breach due to any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder where such failure or delay is due to unforeseeable events beyond its control such as strikes, labour disputes, civil unrest, riots, rebellions, invasions, hostilities, wars, terrorist attacks, embargoes, natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics, floods, tsunamis, fires, sabotage, fluctuations or unavailability of electrical power, heat, light, air conditioning or, where applicable, the services of accounting specialists, loss and destruction of property, or any other circumstance or cause beyond the reasonable control of BANKEO.
Invalidity or unenforceability. If one or more provisions of these Terms are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms. These Terms will then be construed as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had never formed part of these Terms.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Quebec and applicable federal laws, without regard to conflict of law rules. Subject to the indemnification terms herein, you agree that, if applicable, any dispute between you and BANKEO whatsoever relating to, arising out of or in any way connected with these Terms shall be brought and settled exclusively in the judicial district of Quebec, in the province of Quebec, and you waive any objection that such venue is not practical or appropriate.
