1. Scope of Oli Services
1.1 General.
The Oli Platform is an online service that allows Companies to browse, screen, track and collaboratively manage its hiring process, as well as be used for additional services such as job postings (“Listings”), employee onboarding, management and payroll, to provide a facility of storing recruitment of employment data of Professionals, and such other services related to human resource management (collectively, the “Services”). The Oli Platform is made available for use only by individuals (“Professionals”) searching for employment openings, seeking to submit applications to Listings (“Applications”) or other services or information related to their personal employment or job search, with Companies that are in turn seeking Professionals, or seeking to make available information regarding employment openings, on their behalf or on the behalf of other Companies (any User that is registered on the Oli Platform for a third-party’s benefit are “Agents”). You acknowledge and agree that your license to use the Oli Platform shall be automatically revoked upon your attempt to use the Oli Platform or Oli Services for any other purpose.
1.2 No Guarantee.
While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes, Oli has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings, Applications or Services, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listings or Applications posted or submitted by Users on the Oli Platform or any other Collective Content (as defined below), (iii) the performance of any obligation owing by any User to any other User, (iv) the acts or omissions of any User, or (v) the timeliness of communication on or through the Oli Platform or otherwise between Users. Oli does not endorse nor make any representations about any User or Listing or Applications posted or submitted by any User. Furthermore, Oli takes no responsibility toward, and makes no representation about, whether or not any Users are in compliance with any legal, regulatory and licencing requirements in the course of using the Oli Platform or engaging other Users through Listings, Application, Services or otherwise.
1.3 Verification.
Any references to a User being "verified" (or similar language) only indicate that the User has completed the relevant process, on the Oli Platform or through a third-party service provider engaged by Oli, for attempting to ensure the User exists and nothing else. Oli reserves the right to require Users to be verified to create a Listing, submit an Application or otherwise use the Olvie Platform and/or certain Oli Services, or any part thereof. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by Oli about such User, including of the User’s identity or background or whether the User is trustworthy, safe or suitable. Users should always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to submit a Listing or Application, or communicate and interact with other Users, whether online or in person.
1.4 Your Relationship With Us.
If any Company or Professional (individually the “User" or collectively the “Users” or, where applicable, “You” or “Your”) chooses to use the Oli Platform or Oli Services, their relationship with Oli is limited to being a customer or third-party service provider (as applicable) and not an employee, agent, independent contractor, joint venturer or partner of Oli for any reason, and each party acts exclusively for their own behalf and for their own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of Oli. Oli does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control any Users generally or in their performance under these Terms specifically, including in connection with their use of the Oli Platform. Companies acknowledge and agree that they have complete discretion whether to agree to use the HR Services or otherwise engage in other business or employment activities. Oli does not have any authority to act or make employment decisions on behalf of Companies or Professionals. Users are each responsible for their own performance, handling of communications, and decisions between each other, as applicable.
1.5 Promoting Oli.
To promote the Oli Platform and to increase the exposure of Listings to potential Professionals, certain information and Collective Content (but not including any personal identifying information) may be displayed on other websites, in applications, within emails, and in online and offline advertisements (“External Sources”). Any display of Listings or other content on External Sources is not a representation regarding the legal nature of the role (for example, between a short-term contract position vs. a long-term employment position) or the attributes of the Company. Not all Listings may be displayed on External Sources, nor does the fact that a Listing was displayed on an External Source mean that the Listing is endorsed or certified by Oli in comparison to Listings which are not displayed on External Sources.
1.6 Translations.
To assist potential users of the Oli Platform who speak different languages, the posted information and other Collective Content may be translated, in whole or in part, into other languages. Oli cannot guarantee the accuracy or quality of such translations and the Users are responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of such translations. The Oli Platform may contain translations powered by Google or another third-party service provider. Any third-party service provider that provides translation services on the Oli Platform disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties for merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
1.7 Third Party Oli Services.
The Oli Platform may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, resources, products or services (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. Oli is not responsible or liable for the availability, accuracy or completeness of such Third-Party Services; the content, products or services available from such Third-Party Services; or any losses incurred by Users from any non-operating state of Third-Party Services. Links to or integrations with such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by Oli of such Third-Party Services. Please be aware that any goods and services provided by Third-Party Services may be subject to separate terms and conditions and liability waivers, as well as local laws and regulations. Some areas of the Oli Platform may implement or provide information provided by third-party APIs, which are subject to additional terms and conditions imposed by third-parties. For example, the Oli Platform may include Google Maps/Earth mapping services, which is subject to the current versions of Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
1.8 Service Availability.
Due to the nature of the Internet and telecommunication services, Oli cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the Oli Platform or any Third-Party Services. Oli may restrict the availability of the Oli Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the Oli Platform. Oli may improve, enhance and modify the Oli Platform and to introduce, remove, change or update any Oli Services from time to time. Oli may reject, remove or limit visibility to any User Content (as defined below), and Oli may disable any account or restrict your ability to use all or parts of the Oli Platform, for any or no reason without notice. Oli reserves the sole discretion and right to remove any services, features, functionality, content or accounts that Oli feels is in Oli’s interests of User’s interests, and may not always give a reason why the same was removed.
1.9 Compliance.
Each User alone are responsible for identifying, understanding, and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to their use of the Oli Platform and the Oli Services, including any actions, inactions and interactions on or through the Oli Platform. For example, each province and territory in Canada has its own set of employment standards and regulations that employers and employees must follow. These laws and regulations cover various aspects such as recruitment practices, minimum wage, hours of work, restrictions against human rights discrimination and the protection of personal information. In certain industries, as well as in certain provinces, Companies may have to comply with additional requirements when using certain Oli Services (such as complying with minimum legal requirements when publishing Listings). Users are each alone responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licenses, permits or registrations for their use of the Oli Platform. Certain uses of Oli Services may be prohibited altogether. Penalties may include fines or other enforcement. We may provide some information on the Oli Platform to help you identify some of the obligations that apply to you. If you have questions about how local laws apply to the Oli Platform, you should always seek independent legal guidance.

Service Fees will be added to the Total Fees (defined below) and charged to the Company as part of the Total Fees. Companies are responsible for paying any Service Fees (and any applicable Taxes) that Companies owe to Oli. Except as otherwise provided on the Oli Platform, Service Fees are non-refundable.

5.3 Subscription Terms.
Upon agreeing to a Subscription, Company shall be bound by the minimum term indicated as part of such Subscription (“Term”) and shall be responsible for the applicable Service Fees thereof. The Term may be one month, which means that the Company has subscribed for a month-to-month Subscription (“Monthly Subscription”), annual, which means that the Company has subscribed for an annual Subscription (“Annual Subscription”), or such other term of subscription (such as customized Subscriptions for terms exceeding one (1) calendar year or covering multiple sites, subsidiaries or affiliates of Company) as indicated prior to Company confirming which Subscription it has selected and agreed to (“Other Subscription”).

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE OLI PLATFORM RENEWS AUTOMATICALLY ON THE RENEWAL DATE. IF YOU ARE PAYING BY CREDIT CARD, AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE OR DIRECT DEPOSIT, YOUR CREDIT CARD OR BANK ACCOUNT (AS APPLICABLE) WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED ON THE RENEWAL DATE.

Upon being charged, Oli shall send the Company a receipt for payment.
5.5 Change of Fees.
Oli reserves the right to change the Service Fees applicable to any Subscription at any time by posting such changes on the Oli Platform.

Oli may, at any time, upon notice of at least 30 days advance notice, or a longer period if required by applicable law, change the Service Fees applicable to any Subscription, or any part thereof, or institute new charges or fees. If Company is subscribed for a Term which has been prepaid, price changes and institution of new charges implemented after your prepayment will go into effect for Company’s next Term and the updated fees will be subtracted from your prepayment. If you do not agree to any such price changes, then your sole remedy is to cancel the Subscription and stop using the Oli Platform prior to the commencement of the renewal subscription period for which the price change applies. You are at all times responsible for initiating the cancellation of any Subscription to the Oli Platform.

If you fail to provide us with documentation that we determine to be sufficient to support any such obligation to withhold Taxes from payouts to you, we may withhold payouts up to the amount as required by law, until sufficient documentation is provided.

If we choose to conduct identity verification or background checks on any User, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim warranties of any kind, either express or implied, that such checks will identify prior misconduct by a User or guarantee that a User will not engage in misconduct in the future.
You acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent provided by applicable law, Oli will not be liable to you or to any other person under any circumstances or under any legal or equitable theory, whether in tort, contract, strict liability, or otherwise, for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential losses or damages of any nature arising out of or in connection with the use of or inability to use the Oli Platform or Oli Services. This disclaimer applies to any damages or injury arising from any failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, deletion, defects, delay in operation or transmission, lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of data, work stoppage, accuracy of results, computer failure or malfunction, computer viruses, file corruption, communication failure, network or system outage, theft, destruction, unauthorized access to, alteration of, loss of use of any record or data, and any other tangible or intangible loss.

You acknowledge that, to the fullest extent provided by applicable law, your use of the Oli Platform is at your sole risk. This disclaimer constitutes an essential part of these terms of use.
The foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. Users may have other statutory rights. However, the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
9. Liability
THE LAWS OF CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING QUEBEC'S CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE BELOW DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MIGHT NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
Users acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of their access to and use of the Oli Platform, Oli Services and Collective Content, making, receiving or submitting any Listings or Applications via the Oli Platform (as applicable), use of our Payment Processor(s) (as defined in the Payment Terms), or any other interaction they have with other Users whether in person or online remains with the User. Neither Oli nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Oli Platform, the Oli Services or the Collective Content, will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or Oli Services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Terms, (ii) from the use of or inability to use the Oli Platform, Oli Services or Collective Content, (iii) from any communications, interactions or meetings with other Users or other persons with whom Users communicate, interact or meet with as a result of their use of the Oli Platform, or (iv) from the placement, receipt or completion of a Listing or Application (as applicable), whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Oli has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Except for our obligations to pay amounts to applicable Users pursuant to these Terms, in no event will Oli’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and User’s use of the Oli Platform and Oli Services including, but not limited to, from the placement of any Listings via the Oli Platform (as applicable), or from the use of or inability to use the Oli Platform, Oli Services or Collective Content and in connection with any Payment Processor(s), or interactions with any other Users, exceed the amounts you have paid to Oli as a User in the twelve (12) month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability or one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD$100), if no such payments have been made, as applicable. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Oli and the Users. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to certain Users. This does not affect Oli’s liability for death or personal injury arising from its negligence, nor for fraudulent misrepresentation, misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
10. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Users agree to release, defend (at Oli’s option), indemnify, and hold Oli and its affiliates and subsidiaries, including but not limited to, Oli’s officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with

(ii) your improper use of the Oli Platform or any Oli Services,
(iii) your, or anyone enrolled by you (if applicable), interactions and transactions with any User, creation or submission of any Listing or Application, participation in any Oli Services, use of any Payment Processor(s), including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, use or participation, or (iv) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights.
11. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement
11.1 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process.
Oli is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals that bring any claim against Oli:
- an informal negotiation directly with Oli, and
- a binding arbitration administered by The ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. (“ADRIC”) using its Arbitration Rules (as modified by this Section 11).
11.2 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification.
Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Oli each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact Oli by emailing us. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules (available at www.adric.ca/rules-codes/).
11.3 Agreement to Arbitrate.
Users and Oli mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Payment Terms, or any other terms and conditions which apply to your use of the Oli Platform or Oli Services, or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the Oli Platform, the Oli Services, the Payment Services, or the Collective Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and Oli agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.
11.4 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement.
Users and Oli each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction:
(i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights;
(ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
11.5 Modification to ADRIC Arbitration Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location.
In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, Oli agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option, (a) in Toronto, Ontario; (b) in any other location to which User and Oli both agree; (c) via phone or video conference; or (d) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by using the Simplified Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc..
11.6 Modification of ADRIC Arbitration Rules - Legal Fees and Costs.
Users and Oli agree that Oli will be responsible for payment of the balance of any initial filing fee under the AIDRIC Arbitration Rules in excess of $200 for claims of $50,000 or less. Users may be entitled to seek an award of legal fees and expenses if you prevail in arbitration, to the extent provided under applicable law and the Arbitration Rules. Unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous or filed for the purpose of harassment, Oli agrees it will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law or the Arbitration Rules, to recover legal fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.
11.7 Arbitrator’s Decision.
The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
11.8 Jury Trial Waiver.
Users and Oli acknowledge and agree that all arbitrable Disputes that may arise is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, we are each irrevocably and unconditionally waiving any right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes. Users acknowledge that they (a) have considered and understood the implications of this waiver, (b) have made this waiver knowingly and voluntarily, and (c) have been induced to enter into these Terms by, among other things, the mutual waivers and acknowledgements in this Section.
11.9 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings.
Users and Oli acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless Users and Oli both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this Section 11.9 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “representative proceeding” waiver in this Section 11.9 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, that waivers may be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and Users and Oli agree that any representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in individual arbitration.
11.10 Severability.
Except as provided in Section 11.9, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
11.11 Changes.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 (“Modification of these Terms”), if Oli changes this Section 11 (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), Users may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter Users’ prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between Users and Oli (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between Users and Oli.
11.12 Survival.
Except as provided in Section 11.10 and subject to Section 7.8, this Section 11 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if Users stop using the Oli Platform or terminate their use of the Oli Platform and the Oli Services.
12. Feedback
We welcome and encourage you to provide feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the Oli Platform (“Feedback“). Users may submit Feedback by emailing us, through the “Contact” section of the Oli Platform, or by other means of communication. Any Feedback that Users submit to us will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary to Users.
