By downloading or using the Hockey Canada Rule Book app (the “App”), these terms will automatically apply to you – you should make sure therefore that you read them carefully before using the App. If you do not agree to these Terms & Conditions, you may not access or use the App.
By agreeing to the Terms & Conditions, you also agree to our Privacy Policy, which is expressly incorporated herein.
The App, including all of its software, code, text, photographs, images, illustrations, graphics, sound recordings, video and audio-video clips, and all other materials available on the App (collectively the “Content”) are the property of Hockey Canada. Except as otherwise provided herein, you may not use, copy, reproduce, distribute, republish, download, modify, display, post or transmit the Content in any form, or by any means, including, but not limited to, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without our express prior written permission.
Permission is hereby granted to the extent necessary to lawfully access and use the App and to download, display, or print portions of the Content on the App for your personal, educational, non-commercial use only, provided that you do not modify the Content, copy or post the Content on any network computer, or broadcast the Content in any media.
The Hockey Canada name and logo are the exclusive property of Hockey Canada. You are not authorized to display the Hockey Canada name or logo in any manner without our prior written permission. The use or misuse of the Hockey Canada name or logo, except as permitted herein, is expressly prohibited.
Hockey Canada is committed to ensuring that the App is as useful and efficient as possible. For that reason, we reserve the right to make changes to the App or to charge for its services, at any time and for any reason. We will never charge you for the App or its services without making it very clear to you exactly what you’re paying for.
The App stores and processes personal data that you have provided to us. It’s your responsibility to keep your phone and access to the App secure. We therefore recommend that you do not jailbreak or root your phone, which is the process of removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. It could make your phone vulnerable to malware/viruses/malicious programs, compromise your phone’s security features and it could mean that the App won’t work properly or at all.
You should be aware that there are certain things that Hockey Canada will not take responsibility for. Certain functions of the App will require the App to have an active internet connection. The connection can be Wi-Fi, or provided by your mobile network provider, but Hockey Canada cannot take responsibility for the App not working at full functionality if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi, and you don’t have any of your data allowance left.
We assume no responsibility for any charges associated with your use of the App. If you’re using the App outside of an area with Wi-Fi, you should remember that your terms of the agreement with your mobile network provider will still apply. As a result, you may be charged by your mobile provider for the cost of data for the duration of the connection while accessing the App, or other third party charges. In using the App, you’re accepting responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the App outside of your home territory (i.e. region or country) without turning off data roaming. If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you’re using the App, please be aware that we assume that you have received permission from the bill payer for using the App.
When you’re using the App, it’s important to bear in mind that although we endeavour to ensure that it is always updated and correct, we may rely on third parties to provide information to us so that we can make it available to you. Hockey Canada accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, you experience because of relying wholly on this functionality of the App.
At some point, we may decide to update the App. The App is currently available on Android & iOS – the requirements for both systems (and for any additional systems we decide to extend the availability of the app to) may change, and you will need to download the updates if you want to continue using the App. Hockey Canada does not promise that it will always update the App so that it is relevant to you and/or works with the Android & iOS version that you have installed on your device. We may also decide to stop providing the App and may terminate use of it at any time without giving notice of termination to you. Unless we tell you otherwise, upon any termination, (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will end; (b) you must stop using the App, and (if needed) delete it from your device.
General Conditions

We reserve all rights and remedies available to us.

Our failure at any time to require performance of any provision of these Terms & Conditions or to exercise any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of such provision or such right. All waivers must be in writing. Unless the written waiver contains an express statement to the contrary, no waiver by Hockey Canada of any breach of any provision of these Terms & Conditions or of any right provided for herein will be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under these Terms & Conditions.
