UPDATED ON April 22, 2021.

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN AND READ THE SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENT AND TERMS OF USE BELOW.

This Subscriber Agreement and Terms of Use (this “Agreement”) governs your use of all digital products and services from Mercer-MacKay Solutions Inc. (“Mercer-MacKay”), and in some cases described below, beta materials, training materials and other publications (each a “Service”), unless other terms and conditions expressly govern. The Mercer-Mackay online marketing portal for daXai is an example of such digital products and services. These products and services are provided either directly by Mercer-MacKay Solutions Inc. and its partners (“we”, “us”, “our”) or through various third-party platforms and devices (e.g., mobile and tablet).

Certain materials within daXai are in beta testing and labelled as such. You might experience crashes, security vulnerabilities, data loss or other issues and are cautioned to backup all data and take any steps to avoid any losses.

Beta materials are being made available to you from time to time at no charge for the purpose of providing us with feedback on the quality and usability of the materials and our Services.

You agree that participation in the beta testing program is voluntary and does not create a legal partnership, agency, or employment relationship between you and us. Moreover, your participation in the beta testing program does not obligate you to subscribe to any of our Services. Your participation will however give you an opportunity to influence the development of our Services to meet your needs.

If you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, you should check the box indicating your agreement to the terms of this Agreement on the registration page for the Service. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, you should not check the box but you will not be able to proceed with the registration process for the respective Service and become a subscriber. To the extent you have access to, or are using, a Service without having completed our registration process, you are hereby notified that your continued use of a Service is subject to many of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as explained in Section 7 below.
1. Changes to Subscriber Agreement.
We may change the terms of this Agreement at any time by notifying you of the change in writing or electronically (including without limitation, by email or by posting a notice on the Service that the terms have been “updated” or similar words). The changes also will appear in this document, which you can access at any time by going to the Subscriber Agreement and Terms of Use link at the footer of those Services which are made available through our website. By using a Service after changes are made to this Agreement you signify that you agree to be bound by such changes.
2. Privacy.
Registration data and other information about you are subject to our Privacy Policy. Essentially, we will only use your personal information for the purpose of providing the Services, to communicate with you in connection with the Services, and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement and our Privacy Policy. Your information may be stored and processed in Canada and the United States or any other country where we do business, and by using a Service online, you consent to the transfer of information outside of your country.
3. Accessing a Service.
If your access to a Service has been recommended or provided by or through a third party (for example, your employer or an education institution where you are a student) (each, a “Third Party”), the Third Party may have provided us with information about you to enable us to provide you with access to the Service and distinguish you from other subscribers (such as your email address or name).

If you access a Service using a password, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of that password. If you provide someone else with access to your password to a Service, they will have the ability to view information about your account and make changes through the website for the Service. Similarly, if you tell someone the answer to your security question for a Service, they will be able to request information about your account and make changes. If you believe someone has accessed a Service using your user name and password without your authorization, please immediately notify us by telephone and email. You are responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access a Service through an Internet access provider or other Third Party service.

You agree to notify us promptly if you change your billing and delivery addresses and email address so we can continue to contact you and send any notices required hereunder. If you fail to notify us promptly of a change, then any notice we send to your old address shall be deemed sufficient notice.
4. Fees and Payments.
You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase a subscription to the Services or any other content, product, or service offered by us through the Services. If you are less than 18 years of age and want to make any such purchase, please ask your parent or guardian to complete the purchase on your behalf.

You agree to pay the subscription fees and any other charges incurred in connection with your account for a Service (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. If your subscription includes access to areas containing premium content or services, your access to such areas may be subject to additional fees, terms and conditions, which will be separately disclosed in such areas.

Unless you have paid by check, we will bill all charges automatically to your credit card. Subscription fees will be billed monthly or annually in advance (depending on the option you choose when you subscribe) at the beginning of your subscription or any renewal. If you want to use a different credit card or you need to update your credit card details, please log in to your Customer Account to make changes.

Generally, all fees and charges are non-refundable. We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we do issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future. We may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving you notice in advance and an opportunity to cancel.
5. Term; Cancellation and Renewal.
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. Unless you have paid by check, your subscription will renew automatically for the term you have chosen (monthly or annually) unless either party gives notice of termination to the other at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the initial term or any renewal of it.

For trial subscriptions (when available), you must cancel your trial subscription before it expires in order to avoid billing of the annual subscription. If your paid subscription is terminated or expires, we will continue to make available to you any free Services provided however, this may not be the case if this Agreement is terminated for cause.

Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other breaches any term and does not (a) remedy the breach, or (b) financially compensate the other party for the breach, within 30 days after receiving notice of the breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement if any proceeding in bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation or insolvency is commenced against the other party or its property, and the same is not dismissed within 30 days, or (ii) if the other party makes any assignment for the benefit of its creditors, becomes insolvent, commits any act of bankruptcy, ceases to do business as a going concern, or seeks any arrangement or compromise with its creditors under any statute or otherwise.

If we rightfully terminate this Agreement for cause, you will be liable for all amounts then owing for the remaining days or months of the initial term of your subscription.
6. Availability of Service through other Platforms; Third Party Payment Services.
6.1 If you access a Service through a mobile application or other type of third party platform, the applicable End User License Agreement for the mobile service through which you downloaded the mobile application may apply in addition to the terms of this Agreement and you agree that you are subject to such application or platform’s terms in addition to this Agreement.
6.2 If your access to a Service is provided by, or through a Third Party (as defined in Section 3 above),or if you purchased your subscription to the Service through a retailer rather than from us directly, some or all of the “Fees and Payments” and “Cancellation and Renewal” terms may not apply to you. Please contact the Third Party, retailer or our Customer Service department for details. If you access a Service without paying or registering (e.g., as part of a free trial), you are hereby notified that all of the terms and conditions of this Subscriber Agreement, except the sections labeled “Fees and Payments” apply to your use and access of the Service.
6.3 From time to time, we may use a third party not affiliated with us to process payments for a Service (a “Third Party Processor”). Examples are Microsoft Pay and Apple Pay. You agree that this Third Party Processor is solely responsible for controlling, handling, processing, or fulfilling purchases processed through its systems. When using such Third Party Processor you may be subject to additional terms of use/service and privacy policy(ies) of the Third Party Processor.
