We may access or preserve your submissions to comply with legal process in Canada or foreign jurisdictions, ensure compliance with these Terms, or protect ourselves, our customers or the public. Digital Communications does not guarantee that you will have any recourse to edit or delete any content you have submitted. Digital Communications may, at any time, without notice or liability to you, remove or refuse to post any submission, in whole or in part, that we decide in our sole discretion is unacceptable, undesirable or in violation of any law, these Terms or any other Condition.

These Terms are governed exclusively by the laws of the province in which you reside, but if you reside outside of Canada, then these Terms are governed exclusively by the laws of the province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein, without giving effect to their conflict of laws principles. You expressly consent to the exclusive forum, jurisdiction, and venue of the courts of Ontario and/or the Federal Court of Canada in Ontario, or any other judicial district or jurisdiction as Digital Communications may determine in any and all actions, disputes, or controversies relating hereto. Please note that your rights and remedies may vary by province. The Conditions constitute the entire agreement between Digital Communications and you with respect to your use of the Forums. No waiver by either Digital Communications or you of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. If any provisions contained herein shall be determined to be void, invalid, or otherwise enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions contained herein.
