No Endorsement

The Site may contain links to other websites or third party applications placed there for your convenience. These links or applications are provided as references to help you identify and locate other resources or services that may be of interest that are independently developed by parties other than MPI. MPI does not control the content of, or maintain any type of editorial control over, those websites or applications. MPI does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or appropriateness of the information or materials contained, created, or published at these websites in within the applications. In providing links to other websites or applications, MPI is not acting as a publisher or disseminator of the material contained on those other websites or applications. A link to another website or application does not mean that MPI is affiliated or associated with such third party, website, or application. The mention of another party, or of its products or services, on the Site must not be construed as an endorsement of that party, or of its products or services. Accordingly, MPI is not responsible for any loss or damage arising out of your use of the links or applications.

Privacy Statement

The confidentiality of your personal information and personal health information is important to MPI. MPI is governed by, and adheres to, the provisions of The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (Manitoba) and The Personal Health Information Act (Manitoba). Any personal information or personal health information received by MPI as a result of your visit to this Site will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law.

MPI collects statistical data by using Google Analytics or other tools to gather information about usage of this Site. The information collected is aggregate data only and does not identify specific individuals. The information is collected for the following purposes:

• Security purposes
• Statistical and research purposes
• To help us make the Site more useful to visitors
• For marketing purposes

In order for the Site’s components to function efficiently, and as well as for the purposes described above, MPI makes use of pixel-tracking and cookies when you visit the Site.

Although MPI is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information and personal health information, it must be acknowledged that, absent encryption, the Internet is an inherently insecure medium of communication such that privacy cannot be ensured. MPI will therefore not be responsible for damages of any kind that you or any other persons may suffer as a result of any loss of confidentiality.

Internet-based email is particularly vulnerable to interception and unauthorized alteration. MPI will not be responsible for damages you or any other persons may suffer as a result of a transmission of confidential information that you expressly or impliedly authorize MPI to make, or for any errors in, or changes made to, the transmitted information.

The Site may disclose third party personal information or personal health information to you. MPI reminds you that it is disclosing this Information pursuant to the provisions of The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (Manitoba) and The Personal Health Information Act (Manitoba), and that as a condition of access to the Information, you will access, collect, use and disclose the Information only for the limited purposes specifically communicated to you by MPI, and always in accordance with The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (Manitoba), The Personal Health Information Act (Manitoba) and any other applicable legislation, and any other agreement you have with MPI.

Submissions

All information submitted to MPI via the Site, including but not limited to email communications, feedback data, questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and bug fixes, and any other communications of any sort (collectively, “Feedback”), shall be deemed to be, and shall remain, the property of MPI. Subject to the above Privacy Statement, MPI will be free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or other techniques contained in the Feedback, and will be free to use, reproduce, disclose, exhibit, display, transform, adapt, create derivative works of, and distribute the Feedback to others for any purpose whatsoever.

No Advice or Warranties

Information provided on the Site is believed to be reliable at the time it is posted. MPI does not, however, guarantee the quality, accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information provided. MPI assumes no obligation to update the Information, or to advise on further developments concerning the topics mentioned. Information contained on the Site may contain typographical errors. Information provided may be changed without notice. Access to this Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. You should not assume that the Site will be error-free or that the Site will operate without interruption. MPI is not liable to compensate you for any Site content that you may find undesirable or objectionable, or for any downtime or inaccessibility to the Site.

Computer Viruses

While every effort is made to ensure that the information on the Site does not contain computer viruses, you should take reasonable and appropriate precautions to scan for computer viruses, and you should ensure that you have a complete and current backup of the data on your computer system. You should pay particular attention to viruses that have been written to automatically execute when an infected word processing file is loaded into a word processing program.

No Liability

MPI is not and will not be responsible for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, or any losses, damages, costs, causes of action, claims, liabilities or demands of any kind with respect to any injury to persons (including, without limitation, death), damage to or loss of property, economic loss or infringement of rights (including, without limitation, privacy rights) caused by, or arising directly or indirectly from the use of the Site, or in reliance on the information available on the Site. MPI disclaims any liability for unauthorized use or reproduction of any portion of the Site.

Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold MPI harmless from all losses, damages, costs, causes of action, claims, liabilities, or demands of any kind with respect to any injury to persons (including, without limitation, death), damage to or loss of property, economic loss, or incidental, or consequential damages, or infringement of rights (including, without limitation, privacy rights) caused by, or arising directly or indirectly from your use or violation of these Terms of Use.

Choice of Law

The laws of the Province of Manitoba and the laws of Canada will govern the interpretation, validity and effect of these Terms of Use, notwithstanding any conflict of laws provision of your domicile, residence, or current physical location. You consent to, and submit and attorn to, the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Manitoba in any action or proceeding instituted under, or related to, these Terms of Use.

Invalidity

If, for any reason, one or more terms and conditions of these Terms of Use are found by a court to be void, voidable, or otherwise unenforceable, that finding will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

Waiver

The failure of MPI to insist upon or to enforce strict performance of any provision of these terms and conditions shall not be construed as a waiver of that, or any other, provision or right. To be binding upon MPI, any waiver must be in writing and must be signed by one or more of its duly authorized representatives. The waiver by MPI of a breach of any provision of these Terms of Use shall not operate as, or be construed as, a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof.

Additional Terms

These Terms of Use are in addition to and other applicable legal terms or agreements you have with MPI.
