These Terms of Use apply to the Metrie website located at www.metrie.com, any affiliated websites (including any versions optimized for viewing on a wireless or tablet device); all email newsletters published or distributed by Metrie; all apps published by Metrie; and all other interactive features, services, and communications provided by Metrie (collectively the “Sites”), however accessed and/or used, that are operated by us, made available by us, or produced and maintained by Metrie Inc., Metrie Industries Inc., Metrie Canada Limited, and their affiliated companies (“Affiliates”) (collectively “Metrie” or “we”, “us”, or “our”). In addition to the content on the Sites, the Sites may provide you with various opportunities to download content and participate in various community services (“Services”).

BY USING THE SITES, DOWNLOADING CONTENT, AND USING THE SERVICES YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND SIGNIFY THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SITES. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR AMEND THESE TERMS OF USE FROM TIME TO TIME WITHOUT NOTICE. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SITES FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF CHANGES TO THESE TERMS WILL MEAN YOU ACCEPT THOSE CHANGES. UNLESS WE PROVIDE YOU WITH SPECIFIC NOTICE, NO CHANGES TO OUR TERMS OF USE WILL APPLY RETROACTIVELY.

These Terms of Use are a binding agreement between you and Metrie regarding your access to and use of the Sites. Each time you use the Sites, you signify your unconditional acceptance and agreement, without limitation or qualification, to the most current version of these Terms of Use. If you do not unconditionally accept and agree to these Terms of Use, then you may not use the Sites.

In this Agreement, a reference to the Sites includes all of the Sites’ content (including all text, graphics, images, video, and other elements available on or through the Sites) and the design, structure, selection, arrangement and look and feel of each element of Sites content and the Sites as a whole.

By using the Sites, you consent to the collection, use, disclosure and retention of your personal information by or on behalf of Metrie as explained in the Metrie Privacy Policy (online: www.metrie.com/privacy-policy/), as revised from time to time, and as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

These Terms of Use relate to the Sites only. Products and services advertised on or available through the Sites are governed by other applicable agreements prescribed by Metrie, including additional terms and conditions that may apply to the purchase of products, such as shipping and return policies.

Metrie grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Sites. Metrie does not grant you a license to modify or all or any portion of the Sites. This license does not include any resale or commercial use of the Sites (other than the CAD drawings); any collection and use of any images or third party content on the Sites; any derivative use of the Sites; or any downloading or copying of account information for the benefit of another company or user.

The Sites and/or any portion of the Sites may not be reproduced, sold, resold, visited or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without Metrie’s express written consent. Subject to these Terms of Use and all applicable laws, you may use the Sites for your lawful use for non-commercial purposes only, only in the manner purposefully made available by the Sites and subject to these Terms of Use and all applicable laws. Use of the Sites for any other purpose or in any other manner is strictly prohibited.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not: (a) access or attempt to access the Sites through any interface except for the publicly provided interfaces provided by Metrie; (b) not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any trademark, logo or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout or form) of Metrie, its content providers or its affiliates without express written consent; (c) use any meta tags or any other “hidden text” utilizing our name or trademarks without our express written consent; (d) use any robot, spider, scraper or other automatic means to access the Sites for any purpose without our express written consent; (e) take any action that imposes, or may impose in our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (f) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the site or any activities conducted on the Sites; (g) bypass any measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Sites; or (h) authorize, assist or enable any other person to do any of the foregoing or to use the Sites in a way that would constitute an infringement of the rights of Metrie or a breach of these Terms of Use if it were done by you. Any unauthorized use automatically terminates the permissions and/or licenses granted by us to you.

The Sites may be used only by individuals (natural persons) who are the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which they live and are capable of forming a binding contract under applicable law. You may not use the Sites if you do not accept and agree to these Terms of Use, if you have breached these Terms of Use or if your permission to use the Sites has been suspended or terminated by Metrie. By using the Sites, you represent that you are over the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside, you have the right and authority to enter into these Terms of Use, you are fully able and competent to satisfy the terms, conditions, and obligations herein, and your use of the Sites and Services is and will be in compliance with all applicable laws.

You understand that you may need to create an account to access certain parts of the Sites. In consideration of your use of the Sites, you will: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself and your business as prompted by the Sites’ registration or subscription page (such information being the “Registration Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Metrie has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Metrie has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Sites (or any portion thereof). You are entirely responsible for the security and confidentiality of your password and account. Furthermore, you are entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account. You will not share your account information or your user name and password with any third party or permit any third party to logon to the Sites using your account information. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security of which you become aware. You are responsible for taking precautions and providing security measures best suited for your situation and intended use of the Services and Sites. We have the right to provide user billing, account, content or use records, and related information under certain circumstances (such as in response to legal responsibility, lawful process, orders, subpoenas, or warrants, or to protect our rights, customers or business). Please note that anyone able to provide your personally identifiable information will be able to access your account so you should take reasonable steps to protect this information. The Sites may also include a tool that allows you to sign in or register using information from your account with a third party service, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, OpenID, or LinkedIn. These third party services are unrelated to the Sites, and your login using such third party

registration information and use of such third party services is subject to the terms and policies of those services.

You are prohibited from using the Sites to post or send any unlawful, threatening, defamatory, libelous, obscene, pornographic or profane material or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense or give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law, or any material that does not comply with any acceptable use or other polices that Metrie may issue from time to time, each as determined by Metrie in our sole discretion. You further understand and agree that sending unsolicited advertisements or “spam” to any user of the Sites or the Sites or through voice computer systems is expressly prohibited by these Terms of Use. In addition to any remedies that we may have at law or in equity, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated or are likely to violate the foregoing prohibitions, we may take any action we deem necessary to cure or prevent the violation, including without limitation, banning you from leaving comments or participating in our forums and communities and/or the immediate removal of the related materials from the Sites at any time without notice. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order or subpoena requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting such materials.
