Terms of Service
Effective date: August 28, 2026

Pride in Care is a B2B 2SLGBTQI+ inclusion consulting and education business for the seniors' care sector, based in Ottawa, Ontario and serving organizations across Canada.
By visiting our website or using our services, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. For consulting engagements, a separate written agreement may also apply and will take priority where its terms differ from these Terms of Service.
1. Use of the Site
Eligibility
You may use this site if you are legally able to enter into an agreement where you live.

We give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable permission to access and use this site for your own personal or internal organizational purposes. This permission does not transfer ownership of any content or intellectual property to you.
Prohibited Activities
Please use the site respectfully and lawfully. You must not use it to break any law, infringe someone else's rights, interfere with the site's operation or security, introduce malicious code, impersonate another person or organization, scrape or copy the site at scale, collect information about others without permission, or misuse our content, forms, or services.

Except for the limited permission described in these terms, you may not use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from our materials without our written permission.
3. Permission to Copy
You may download, print, or share reasonable excerpts from our publicly available resources for personal or internal, non-commercial organizational use, as long as you keep the content accurate, do not suggest that we endorse a person or organization, and include a clear credit to Pride in Care with a link to prideincare.org. Please contact us before reproducing a resource in a course, publication, public presentation, policy manual, or other distributed material. We are happy to talk about the right permission and attribution.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties
We provide this site and its content on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We work to keep our information thoughtful, useful, and current, but we do not promise that the site or its content will always be complete, accurate, up to date, uninterrupted, secure, or free from errors. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pride in Care disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes a responsibility that cannot legally be limited or excluded under Ontario or Canadian law.
7. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Pride in Care and our owners, team members, contractors, and service providers from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable expenses arising from your misuse of the site, your violation of these terms, your violation of another person's rights, or your breach of any law or obligation that applies to you. We will let you know about a claim where reasonably possible and will give you a reasonable opportunity to participate in its defence.
8. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable laws of Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute related to these terms or the site will be addressed by the courts located in Ontario, Canada, unless applicable law requires another forum. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve concerns directly and respectfully.
9. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time as our business, website, or legal obligations change. When we do, we will post the updated version here and revise the effective date above. If a change is material, we will make reasonable efforts to draw attention to it. Your continued use of the site after an update means that you accept the revised terms. If you do not agree with an update, please stop using the site and contact us with any questions.
