ion8 Terms of Service

These ion8 Terms of Service (“Terms”) is made between 2263780 Ontario Inc, operating as “ion8”, (“ion8,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you, our customer or user, both as a person and the entity you may be representing here (“user”, “you” or “your”). These Terms govern your use of ion8’s website (i.e., https://ion8.net/ referred to as “ion8 Website”), services, products and applications (collectively the “Services”).

We offer a wide range of Services, and sometimes additional contractual terms may apply to you. When you purchase certain Services, you agree that your purchase will also be subject to individually negotiated agreements applicable to that ion8 specific Service (“Customer Agreement”), or by applicable third-party reseller’s or licensor’s license terms. If these Terms are inconsistent with the Customer Agreement signed with ion8, those Customer Agreement terms will prevail and control.

We removed as much legal language as possible from these Terms to make it easier for you to understand your rights and obligations. However, since these Terms form a binding legal agreement between you and ion8, we included legal language in certain provisions. For example, these Terms include dispute resolution provisions, waiver of rights, and liability limitations. Please read these Terms carefully, to ensure that you understand and agree to each provision.

In addition to these Terms, we have a separate Privacy Policy that explains how we collect, use and protect your personal data. We also have our Cookies Policy, which you can access to find out more about how we use cookies and what it means for your data. Both the Privacy Policy and the Cookies Policy are incorporated into and made a part of these Terms by this reference. Please have a look at these as well.
