Except as set forth herein, the Sandbox Website is provided on an “as-is” and “as available” basis.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Sandbox be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, special or other consequential damages for any use of this Website, or on any other hyperlinked website, including, without limitation, any lost profits, business interruption, loss of programs or other data on your information handling system or otherwise, even if we are expressly advised of the possibility of such damages.

7. Security of Information

Sandbox Security Measures. Sandbox has taken reasonable steps to assist in the protection of your information, including the implementation of reasonable internal security policies and procedures. Data shall be encrypted to reduce the risk of interception, use and modification by third parties. Access to your account is secured by internet security protocol(s), provided that your web browser supports 128-bit encryption, which is standard in current versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Sandbox will continue to monitor security issues and will update and improve security when it is reasonable and practical to do so. Although the majority of Sandbox's business operations are conducted entirely within Canada, we may engage third party service providers and certain service providers may be based outside of Canada or use systems, access and/or store data or have employees located outside Canada. We take commercially reasonable steps to require that our service providers protect your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the laws of their domestic jurisdiction.

Your Security Responsibilities. You recognize that complete confidentiality and security is essential when using the Sandbox Website to transmit any data to Sandbox. However, it is important to note that the internet is not a secure method of communication and use of the internet and communications over the internet is subject to possible interception, loss and alteration, which compromises the confidentiality and security of such use and communications. Without the use of encryption, communication through the internet or electronic communication is not secure and privacy cannot be ensured. You should not communicate any personal information to Sandbox through unsecured means. Any information communicated by you to Sandbox through unsecured means shall be deemed non-confidential and Sandbox will not be liable in any manner for any damage caused to a third party as a result of such unsecured communication, including without limitation, use by Sandbox of such information.

Inaccurate Copies. Please note that internet software or transmission problems could produce inaccurate or incomplete copies of various documents when downloaded and displayed on your computer and reference should always be made to the official versions of such documents.

Log Off Account. You should sign off from the Sandbox Website prior to proceeding with any activities that are not related to Sandbox.
