Terms of Use

Tyze Terms of Use

Effective as of August 1, 2020

Congratulations on being part of a Tyze caregiver network! We’re so pleased to have you with us. Before we get going, it’s important for you to understand what you are agreeing to when you use our services. Below is the full legal agreement, which is important for you to read. Included is our translation of the legal agreement into what is often called “human-readable” (for humans, like you and me). It’s a simple, non-legal summary of the full agreement that provides highlights and hopefully helps you understand what it is you are agreeing to.

11791451 Canada Inc. (“Tyze”, “Us”, “Our” or “We”) operates an online solution that allows individuals, groups and organizations to create online caregiver networks (the “Services”) based on the network model of care for health and social care. The network model of care consists of freely-given relationships between individuals, friends, family members, community members, caregivers, and healthcare partners in order to advance communication, problem-solving, collaboration, and support amongst people contributing to an individual’s well-being.

By registering to use the Services (as defined below), You (identified herein as “User” (defined further below) or as “You” or “Your”) agree to be bound by this Terms of Use Agreement (“Agreement”). Your use of the services is expressly conditioned on your acceptance of these Terms of Use, as they may be modified from time to time. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, PLEASE STOP IMMEDIATELY ALL USE OF THE SERVICES.

  1. Acceptance. This Agreement constitutes a legally binding agreement, applies to your use of the Services regardless of the type of device used to access them, and shall become binding upon you upon your registration with Tyze or your use of the Services (whichever occurs earlier). You are authorized to use the Services only if you agree to abide by the terms of this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations governing your use of the Services or performance under this Agreement (“Applicable Law”). Upon registration, you may create your account (your “Account”), and its associated profile(s) (each a “Profile”) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Agreement together with all online documents, policies, contest rules, and agreements applicable to use of the Services are incorporated into this Agreement by reference (“Other Terms”), constitutes the entire agreement between you and Tyze and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement (or any applicable Other Terms) and to abide by all Applicable Law, you are not authorized to use the applicable Services and must discontinue use of all Services.

If you choose to use Tyze, you are agreeing to our Terms of Use. If you don’t agree, we’ll be sad but please don’t use Tyze.

  1. Eligibility. Use of the Services and registration to be a User for the Services (“Membership”) is void where prohibited. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that: (a) all registration information you submit to Tyze is and will be complete and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; (c) your use of the Services does not violate any Applicable Law; (d) you are 18 years of age or older, and (e) if the account is being created for a minor, you are the authorized guardian of the minor and you are authorizing the minor to use the Services. Children in the United States cannot use the Services.

The small print in big print

People 18 years of age or older can use Tyze. Anywhere other than the United States, minors can use Tyze if authorized by an authorized guardian. Children in the US are restricted from using Tyze.

  1. Responsibility for Minors. In cases where you have authorized and allowed a minor (i.e., an individual under the age of 18) to use the Services, you recognize that you are doing so under your own account and are therefore fully responsible for: (i) providing confirmation of consent and agreement to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) ensuring the minor’s compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (iii) providing confirmation of consent to Tyze’s data collection and use practices (as reflected in Tyze’s online Privacy Policy), (iv) the online conduct of such minor; (v) controlling the minor’s access to and use of the Services; and (vi) the consequences of any misuse by the minor. You acknowledge that Tyze is not responsible for editing or controlling the information available for display through the Services (as provided by other Users) and that you must use your own discretion to monitor content available through the Services.

  2. Modification of this Agreement. Tyze provides general services to its Users. Tyze therefore reserves the right to modify this Agreement at any time and from time to time, and each such modification shall be effective upon express re-acceptance, your continued use following provision of email notice to your designated address, or the posting on the Services and/or Tyze’s corporate website, which is currently available at http://www.tyze.com and your continued use. Unless Tyze seeks your express assent to changes to the Agreement, all modifications will apply prospectively only following notice. It is therefore important that you review this Agreement regularly. If you do not agree to be bound by such modified Agreement, you must discontinue use of the Services immediately.

The small print in big print

We may update our Terms of Use from time to time. If we do, we’ll make a good faith effort to notify everyone using Tyze of the update. Still, it’s your responsibility to keep up-to-date with the terms on a regular basis. Why not stop by our website every now and then for a visit? You can see what’s new and visit this page to see when we last updated the terms of use agreement.

  1. Privacy and Cookies. You can view Tyze’s privacy policy for its own Services (the “Privacy Policy”) here, which is incorporated into the Agreement by reference. The Privacy Policy provides you with notice of Tyze’s collection and use of Personal Information as well as Our use of internet tags, cookies, graphic tags and web beacons (collectively, “Tags”). “Personal Information” shall have the meaning set forth in the Privacy Policy as the notions of what qualifies as personally identifiable information changes from time to time. By accepting this Agreement, you hereby consent to: (i) Tyze’s collection and use of your Personal Information in accordance with the Privacy Policy and this Agreement; and (ii) Tyze’s placement and use of Tags as described in the Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time at Our discretion to address changes in applicable law or to reflect Tyze’s revised data collection and use practices for Personal Information. Changes will be effective upon posting to Tyze’s website or upon the provision of email notice to your designated address (whichever occurs earlier).

The small print in big print

You should read our Privacy Policy! It’s important and part of this agreement. Lots of the information in there will be helpful for understanding how we manage and protect your personal information.

  1. How the Services may be Made Available to You. The Services may be made available to you either directly by Tyze or by a third party that has been authorized by Tyze to distribute Tyze online caregiver networks to you (e.g. a healthcare or social service provider, governmental organization, health authority, community organization or other licensee of the Services) (“Provider”). If the Services are made available to you directly by Tyze, meaning you have a direct contractual relationship with Tyze for you to subscribe for the Services, your use of the Services may be without charge by Tyze or Tyze may charge you fees depending on the level of Services that you subscribe for. When you use a Service that has a fee, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. Tyze may add new services for additional fees and charges, or proactively amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in its sole discretion. Changes to fees are effective after We provide you with notice by posting the changes on Our website. If the Services are made available to you through a Provider, meaning, you are not directly subscribing for the Services through Tyze, but are receiving access to the Services through a Provider, you acknowledge and agree that your correspondences or interactions with your Provider are solely as between you and your Provider, although this Agreement shall still govern you use of the Services. Your Provider may require that you enter into an agreement with them to govern the relationship between you and your Provider in respect of the Provider making the Services available to you. Tyze is and shall not be a party to such an agreement. Only this Agreement will govern the relationship between you and Tyze with respect to your access and use of the Services. Your Provider may contact you through the Services. All such communications and interactions are between you and Your Provider and are subject to your Provider’s privacy policy (if any). Your Provider may or may not charge you fees to access the Services. Tyze does not have any control over whether your Provider will charge fees or other dues in connection with the Service. All such matters are between you and your Provider. Please contact your Provider if you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding fees and/or payments. You agree that Tyze will not be responsible or liable in any way for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of, or in connection with, any interaction or dispute between you and your Provider. Tyze reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with any dispute between you and your Provider.

The small print in big print

Sometimes there are fees for using Tyze. If you are starting your account with Tyze, we’ll let you know about any fees in advance. (No surprises, we promise!) If you are starting your account with another organization, that organization is responsible for letting you know about any fees.

  1. Use of the Services. The Services are for the personal use of Users and with respect to any information parameters identified online for communication networks as to the permissible subject matter of posted or displayed content. Tyze reserves the right to remove commercial content in its sole discretion. Illegal and/or unauthorized use of the Services, including, without limitation, collecting usernames, user id numbers, and/or email addresses of Users by electronic or other means for the purpose of sending unsolicited email or unauthorized framing of or linking to the Services, or employing third party promotional sites or software to promote profiles for money, is prohibited. Commercial advertisements, affiliate links, and other forms of unauthorized data collection or solicitation may be removed from User profiles, Content (as defined below) and/or posts (as defined below) without notice or explanation and may result in termination of Membership privileges. Tyze reserves the right to take appropriate legal action, including, without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Services.

The small print in big print

Use Tyze the way it was intended, as a private network for support and collaborating around care.

  1. Accounts. When you sign up to become a user of the Services (a “User”), you will have to register for and create an account with Us (“Account”) associated with your Membership, which includes a username and password and requires an email address. You represent and warrant to Us that all information that you submit when you register for your Account is accurate, current and complete, and that you will keep your Account information accurate, current and complete. If We have reason to believe that any of your Account information is untrue, inaccurate, out-of-date or incomplete, We reserve the right, in Our sole and absolute discretion, to terminate your Account. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your Account, whether authorized by you or not, and you must keep your Account information secure. You must notify Us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS YOU INCUR DUE TO ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR ACCOUNT. YOU, HOWEVER, MAY BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS INCURRED BY US OR OTHERS CAUSED BY YOUR ACCOUNT, WHETHER CAUSED BY YOU OR BY AN UNAUTHORIZED PERSON. The foregoing sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

  2. Fees. You agree to pay all applicable fees (at the amounts or prices indicated) due, if any, for your access and use of the Services (collectively, the “Fees”), whether owing directly to Tyze or to your Provider (as the case may be). You shall be responsible for all sales, use, value added, or other taxes or duties, as applicable, with respect to all Fees. Fees payable to Tyze may be paid for by providing a valid credit card or through such other means as We make available from time to time (the “Payment Method”). Payments may be processed by Our third party billing and payment processing provider(s) (the “Billing Provider”). When you provide Us with your information about your Payment Method, that information, along with other Personal Information about you, will be shared with the Billing Provider for the purposes of processing your payments. You hereby consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information by and to the Billing Provider for the foregoing purposes. The foregoing sentence shall survive the termination of the Agreement.

  3. Content. Tyze does not claim any ownership rights in the text, files, documents, reports, results, information, bulletins, images, photos, video, works, works of authorship, applications, or any other materials (collectively, “Content”) that you transmit, submit, display or publish (“post”) on, through or in connection with the Services. After posting your Content on, through or in connection with the Services, you continue to retain any such rights that you may have in your Content, subject to the limited license granted by you in this Agreement. You control what Content you choose to share with other Users in your caregiver network. Please remember that Content you choose to share will be available to the other Users in your caregiver network, who may view, share, distribute, access, copy, download, and use the Content without restriction. Accordingly, please consider carefully what Content you choose to share while using the Services. By posting any Content on, through or in connection with the Services, you hereby grant to Tyze a limited license to use, modify, delete from, add to, reproduce, and make available such Content solely on, through or in connection with the Services, including, without limitation, making available part or all of the Services to all Users with whom you choose to share access and any Content included in or as part of the Services, in any media formats and through any media channels. This limited license does not grant Tyze the right to sell or otherwise distribute your Content apart from its use in connection with the Services. After you affirmatively delete your Content from the Services, We will cease distribution as soon as practicable, and at such time when distribution ceases, the license will terminate.

The license you grant to Tyze is non-exclusive (meaning you are free to license your Content to anyone else in addition to Tyze), fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that Tyze is not required to pay you or anyone else deriving rights from you for the use on the Services of the Content that you post), sublicensable (so that Tyze is able to use its affiliates, subcontractors and other partners such as Providers or Internet content delivery networks and wireless carriers to provide the Services), and worldwide (because the Internet and the Services are global in reach).

You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the Content posted by you on, through or in connection with the Services, or otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in this Section 10, and (ii) the posting of your Content on, through or in connection with the Services does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person or entity. You are responsible for any rights clearance for any Content posted by you on or through the Services.

The Services contain or provide access to Content owned by Tyze or its providers or licensors (“Tyze Content”). In some circumstances, you may opt to receive certain Tyze Content or it may be provided to you based on your profile or preferences, in which case you may choose to unsubscribe to such Tyze Content. Tyze Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other laws, and Tyze owns and retains all rights in the Tyze Content and the Services. Tyze hereby grants you a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable license to reproduce and display the Tyze Content (excluding any software code) solely for your personal, non-commercial use in connection with and while using the Services.

The Services contain Content of Users (“User Content”). You may only view, listen to, transmit, display, or otherwise use any User Content appearing on or through the Services solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Except for the foregoing, you are granted no right, title, or interest in any User Content.

The Services contain Content of third party providers or licensors that are not Users (such licensors, “Third Party Licensors” and such content “Third Party Content”). Third Party Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other laws, and each Third Party Licensor retains all rights in its Third Party Content. You are hereby granted a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable license to view or listen to or use as authorized by Tyze, as applicable, the Third Party Content solely for your personal, non-commercial use in connection with viewing and using the Services. Except for the foregoing limited license, and except as otherwise expressly provided in writing by Tyze, you are granted no right, title or interest in any Third Party Content. You are only granted a limited license and there is not a sale with respect to Third Party Content and Tyze and its licensors reserve all other rights.

The small print in big print

You own your content.

  1. Communications with Us. Tyze performs technical functions necessary to offer the Services, including, but not limited to, the technical processing and transmission of email communications to perform the email service, and transcoding and/or reformatting Content to allow its use throughout the Services. You therefore agree and acknowledge that Tyze may send you messages including, but not limited to, notifications, special offers, surveys, and marketing materials that are in connection with the Services.

  2. Content on the Services. Tyze assumes no responsibility for the Content posted by any User and no responsibility for the conduct of the User with respect to any such Content. Tyze also assumes no responsibility for monitoring the Services for inappropriate Content or conduct, but reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to investigate use of the Services and take appropriate action in accordance with this Agreement. Accordingly, Tyze may delete any Content for any or no reason, including, but not limited to, Content that in the sole judgment of Tyze violates this Agreement or which may be offensive, illegal or violate the rights of any person or entity, or harm or threaten the safety of any person or entity.

In addition, Tyze reserves the right to limit the storage capacity of Content that you post on, through or in connection with the Services.

  1. Rights to Your Data. In accordance with the Privacy Policy, You hereby grant to Us a world-wide fully-paid, royalty-free, perpetual, unrestricted, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide right and license to use Your Data (as defined below) to extract and create anonymized data (collectively, “Extracted Data”. You agree that, notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, We own and may disclose, publish and otherwise use Extracted Data, whether as part of derivative works or otherwise, solely on an Aggregate Basis (as defined below) to any person and by any means. We shall own exclusive rights, including all intellectual property rights, in and to all Extracted Data. We shall be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of all Extracted Data works for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you. For greater certainty, We are prohibited from disclosing Your Data other than on an Aggregate Basis. In this Agreement, “Aggregate Basis” means that We combine Your Data and/or parts of information collected or processed from you in a manner that does not contain or disclose any information that can identify you and/or where such data has otherwise been anonymized; and “Your Data” means: (i) any data or information derived from or generated by your use of the Services; and/or (ii) information about you that has been collected by Tyze.

The small print in big print

We don’t share your personal data. If we ever wanted to share any personal data of yours, we need your permission. Without your permission, we won’t share it. See our Privacy Policy for more details.

We do share anonymous data (stuff that nobody would know is yours) collected on and have exclusive rights to it.

Prohibited Content includes Content that, in the sole discretion of Tyze: (i) is pornographic or offensive subject matter; (ii) contains graphic or gratuitous violence; (iii) conveys a message of hate against any individual or group based upon their race, religion, age, gender, nationality, sexual orientation or language; (iv) solicits other users for passwords or personally identifiable information; (v) is submitted for the purpose of harassment or bullying; (vi) contains unsolicited advertising, including “Spam” messages; (vii) is offensive or promotes or otherwise incites racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual; (viii) publicly posts information that poses or creates a privacy or security risk to any Person; (ix) constitutes or promotes information that you know is false or misleading or promotes illegal activities or conduct that is abusive, threatening, obscene, defamatory or libelous; (xi) furthers or promotes any criminal activity or enterprise or provides instructional information about illegal activities including making or buying illegal weapons, violating someone’s privacy, or providing or creating computer viruses; (xii) involves commercial activities and/or sales without prior written consent from Tyze such as contests, sweepstakes, barter, advertising, or pyramid schemes; or (xiii) violates or attempts to violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademark rights, contract rights or any other rights of any Person.

The small print in big print

If you’re doing something illegal or prohibited on Tyze, we may be asked to do something about it. This could be something drastic, like closing your account.

  1. Protecting Copyrights and Other Intellectual Property. Tyze respects the intellectual property of others and requires that our users do the same. You may not upload, embed, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any material that infringes any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights of any person or entity. It is Tyze’s policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the membership of Users who violated this prohibition.

If you believe your work has been copied and posted on or through the Services in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please send Tyze’s designated agent for receipt of copyright infringement claims a notification of claimed infringement with all of the following information: (a) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works; (b) identification of the claimed infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material on the Services (providing the URL(s) of the claimed infringing material satisfies this requirement); (c) information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address; (d) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (e) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf; and (f) your physical or electronic signature. Tyze’s Copyright Agent for notification of claimed infringement can be reached as follows: Copyright Agent, 11791451 Canada Inc. 8 Bromley Cres., Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M9A 3X3; Attn: Copyright Agent. Tyze’s Copyright Agent for notification of claimed infringement can also be reached electronically at feedback@tyze.com. FAILURE TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE ABOVE INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY SPECIFIC URLS WHERE CONTENT MAY BE FOUND, WILL RESULT IN A DELAY IN THE PROCESSING OF YOUR NOTIFICATION AND MAY RESULT IN YOU HAVING TO REPEAT SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE PROCESS. TYZE WILL NOT RESPOND UNTIL ALL OF THE NECESSARY INFORMATION IS PROVIDED. If Tyze receives proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, it will respond expeditiously by removing, or disabling access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. Tyze will also comply with the appropriate provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) (United States) to allow and address counter-notification, if applicable. In addition, Tyze may, at its discretion, deny access to its site by disablement and/or termination of accounts. If You reside outside of the United States, please understand that filing a notice or counter-notice may lead to legal proceedings between You and the complaining party to determine ownership or right to use. Therefore, please be aware that there may be adverse legal consequences in Canada and/or the United States of America if You make a false or bad faith allegation by using this process.

  1. Term and Termination. This Agreement, and any posted revision to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. You may terminate your Membership at any time, for any reason, by sending a message to support@tyze.com. This Agreement (and your Membership) will terminate and expire upon your failure to agree to its terms at the onset (along with ceasing all use of the Services) or the expiration of the then current subscription term (regardless of whether the Services are made available to you directly through Tyze or through your Provider). Tyze may also terminate your Membership and right to use the Services for breaches of this Agreement. If the Services are made available to you through a Provider, Tyze may suspend or terminate your Membership immediately upon notice or request of such termination or suspension from Your Provider. Upon termination or expiration, Tyze reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject, refuse to post or remove any Content (including, without limitation, private messages, emails and instant messages (as applicable) (collectively, “messages”)) submitted or sent by you. In addition, upon termination or expiration or the event of Service malfunction Tyze reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reassign or rename your profile URL or to remove your profile and/or deny, restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to all or any part of the Services. Even after Membership and this Agreement is terminated, this Agreement will remain in effect, including, without limitation, Sections 3, 6(c), 9, 10, 13, 16 and 18 – 30.

The small print in big print

You can choose to end your license at any time for any reason. And we have the same right.

Terminating the agreement doesn’t change some of the other sections in the agreement. Kind of on the same note, if part of this agreement isn’t legally valid, whatever part is still legally valid will hold strong.

Our Terms of Use is the entire and only material agreement between us. If there’s a problem between us (and we sincerely hope there never is), any dispute will be governed by Ontario law and Ontario courts. Everything would happen in Toronto, which is a lovely city if you’ve never visited us.
