These Terms of Service govern your use of the website operated by Ccjh Ehk Canada and the computer systems design and computer integrated systems design services offered by the company. The services are developed and operated by the developer CCJH EHK. By accessing this website, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the website or our services.
The company may revise these terms at any time, and the version published on this page is the version that applies to you. Your continued use of the website after a revision takes effect means that you accept the revised terms. These terms apply to all visitors to the website, whether or not they become clients, and merely browsing the site creates a limited relationship governed by this document.
The company provides consulting, design, engineering, integration, and operational services for computer systems. These services include systems architecture, computer integrated systems design, network and infrastructure engineering, data platform engineering, cloud adoption and migration, and security and compliance hardening.
The precise scope of each project is defined in a written agreement signed by both parties. Services may be delivered remotely or on site, depending on the needs of the project and the terms of the agreement. Additional services requested during a project are handled through the change process described in these terms. The company does not resell services it cannot deliver to a professional standard, every engagement is staffed by engineers with relevant experience, and quality reviews are part of each project.
You must be at least eighteen years old and able to enter into binding contracts to use our services. If you represent a business or other organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind that organisation to these terms. Services are offered to clients in Canada and internationally, subject to applicable export and trade restrictions.
We may refuse to provide services where doing so would violate law or create an unreasonable risk. We may also require additional verification before accepting a new client, and our decision to accept or decline a project is made at our discretion. Where the law of your jurisdiction requires a higher minimum age to enter a binding contract, that higher age applies to you.
The client agrees to provide accurate and complete information needed for the project, including access to relevant systems and stakeholders in a timely manner. The client is responsible for decisions made on its own behalf during the engagement and for obtaining the permissions needed to allow our team to work with its systems.
The client agrees to cooperate with reasonable requests for information and review and to respond to questions within agreed timeframes. Delays caused by the client may affect project schedules and are not the responsibility of the company. The client also agrees to maintain the security of any credentials issued to its team.
Each engagement begins with a discovery phase in which we understand the goals, constraints, and current environment of the client. We then prepare a proposal or statement of work that describes the deliverables, timeline, and fees. Work proceeds in defined stages, and each stage is reviewed before the next begins.
Changes to scope are managed through a written change order, and fees are adjusted accordingly. The company will not begin work that is not covered by an agreed statement of work. Any estimate provided during an early conversation is an indication only and becomes binding only when it appears in a signed proposal. Deliverables are defined in plain language so that both parties can measure progress against the same description of work, and our reviews are designed to keep surprises out of the later stages of a project.
Fees are set out in the proposal or statement of work signed by both parties. Quotes are valid for the period stated in the proposal, usually thirty days. Invoices are payable within the payment terms stated on the invoice, typically thirty days from the date of issue. The company may charge interest on overdue amounts at the rate permitted by law.
Prices may be expressed in Canadian dollars or in another currency agreed in writing. Any applicable taxes are added to the fees unless the quote states otherwise. The company may require a deposit before starting certain projects, and any deposit is applied to the final invoice. All invoices include enough detail to reconcile against the proposal, including the services, dates, and quantities billed, and we are happy to answer any billing question before payment is due.
The company owns all intellectual property in the tools, frameworks, templates, and methodologies it uses to deliver services, including any software it has developed before the project begins. Client-owned materials, data, and content remain the property of the client.
For deliverables created specifically for a client during a project, ownership is described in the statement of work. Unless the agreement states otherwise, the company retains ownership of its pre-existing intellectual property and of reusable components that do not identify the client. The client is responsible for ensuring that it owns or licenses any materials it provides to the company. The client also grants the company a limited right to use client materials for the purpose of performing the services, and that right ends when the project is complete.
Where the company owns a deliverable, the client receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use that deliverable for the purposes described in the statement of work. The license is perpetual within the scope of the project, unless the agreement states otherwise.
The client may not resell, sublicense, or redistribute the deliverable outside its own business without written consent. Open-source components included in a deliverable remain governed by their original licenses, and we will disclose those components to the client. This section does not transfer any ownership interest to the client.
Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public information received from the other party in connection with a project. Confidential information includes technical designs, business plans, financial data, client lists, and any material marked as confidential. Each party may disclose confidential information only to its personnel who need to know it and only to the extent needed to perform the services.
The obligations of this section survive the end of the engagement. Confidential information does not include information that is publicly available, already known to the receiving party, or independently developed without reference to the disclosing party. The receiving party will protect the information using the same care it uses for its own confidential information. Each party will return or destroy confidential information at the end of the relationship upon request, subject to any legal requirement to retain a copy.
The company warrants that services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. Except for the warranties stated in this section, the services are provided on an as-is and as-available basis. The company does not warrant that the services will be uninterrupted or error free, or that they will meet every expectation of the client.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, all other warranties, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are disclaimed. Any claims under the warranty in this section must be reported to the company in writing within thirty days of the relevant event. The remedies under the warranty are limited to re-performance of the affected services or a proportionate refund of the fees for those services, and neither party relies on warranties other than those stated here when deciding to enter into an agreement.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or interruption of business, arising out of or related to these terms or the services.
The total liability of either party for all claims arising in connection with the services will not exceed the total fees paid by the client to the company in the twelve months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of certain damages, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party against claims, losses, and expenses arising from its own breach of these terms or from its own negligent or unlawful acts. The client agrees to defend the company against claims that the client materials or client-controlled content infringe the rights of a third party.
The company agrees to defend the client against claims that a deliverable owned by the company infringes the rights of a third party. The indemnified party must give prompt notice of any claim and allow the indemnifying party to control the defence. This section survives the end of the engagement.
Projects may involve third-party platforms, tools, or software that the client or the company selects. Third-party products are subject to the terms of their own providers, and the company is not responsible for their performance, availability, or security.
Where the company recommends a third-party product, it will disclose the recommendation as its opinion and not as a guarantee. The client is responsible for accepting the terms of any third-party provider when such acceptance is required to use the product. Nothing in these terms creates a relationship between the client and any third-party provider.
Either party may terminate a project for convenience by giving written notice of at least thirty days. Either party may terminate immediately if the other party breaches a material obligation and does not remedy the breach within fifteen days of written notice.
On termination, the client must pay for all work completed and all reasonable costs incurred up to the date of termination. The company may suspend services without notice if the client fails to pay when payment is due. Sections that are intended to survive, including payment, confidentiality, and intellectual property, continue after termination. Termination does not excuse either party from obligations that accrued before the effective date of the termination.
These terms are governed by the laws of the province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. The courts located in Toronto, Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms.
If a claim is brought outside the required jurisdiction, the party bringing the claim agrees to pay the costs of transferring it. Nothing in this section limits the rights of consumers under mandatory consumer protection law. The parties agree that this choice of law applies even if the project is delivered in another province or country.
The parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through negotiation before starting formal proceedings. If negotiation does not resolve the dispute within thirty days, the parties may agree to mediation through a mutually acceptable mediator.
Where mediation is not agreed, the dispute will be resolved by the courts in accordance with the governing law section. Each party bears its own costs of negotiation and mediation. This section does not prevent either party from seeking urgent relief to protect its rights.
The company may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in its services, business, or legal requirements. The current version is always published on this page, and the effective date appears at the top. Material changes will be announced through the website.
Continued use of the website or services after a change takes effect means that you accept the revised terms. We encourage you to review these terms periodically so that you remain aware of the rules that apply to your use of our services.
All notices under these terms must be in writing and delivered by email or by mail to the addresses listed in the contact information. Notices sent by email are deemed received on the day they are sent, unless the sending day is not a business day, in which case they are deemed received on the next business day.
Notices sent by mail are deemed received ten days after posting. Each party may update its address for notices by giving written notice to the other party. This section does not affect the validity of notices sent through other channels when the law requires a different method, and email notices should include the project name or proposal reference so that they reach the correct team without delay.
Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform an obligation under these terms if the delay or failure results from events beyond the reasonable control of that party, including natural disasters, war, civil unrest, pandemic, network failure, or failure of public infrastructure.
The affected party will give prompt notice of the event and will make reasonable efforts to limit its impact. If an event of force majeure continues for more than sixty days, either party may terminate the affected engagement. Fees for work completed before the event remain payable.
These terms, together with any proposal, statement of work, and signed agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter. They replace all prior discussions, representations, and agreements, whether written or oral.
No amendment is effective unless made in writing and signed by both parties. Pre-printed terms on a client purchase order do not form part of the agreement unless expressly accepted in writing by the company.
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be replaced by a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the original intent.
This section ensures that a single defective clause does not invalidate the entire agreement. If a provision is found to be invalid only in part, the valid part continues to apply.
A failure by either party to enforce a provision of these terms is not a waiver of that provision and does not prevent later enforcement. A waiver is effective only if it is made in writing and signed by the waiving party.
No course of dealing between the parties creates a waiver of any provision. The rights and remedies in these terms are cumulative and do not exclude any rights or remedies available at law.
