Terms & Conditions

Last updated: September 7, 2026. These Terms & Conditions govern access to and use of the Gatestone website. Gatestone refers to the Gatestone brand and the affiliated operating entities that provide the services described on this website.

1. Acceptance of these terms

Accessing or using this website confirms acceptance of these Terms & Conditions and the Privacy and Data Protection Policy. A person who does not accept these terms must not use the website. Additional written terms may apply to a proposal, statement of work, service agreement, platform, campaign, or client engagement. Those written terms control if they conflict with these website terms.

2. Website purpose

The website provides general information about Gatestone, its capabilities, perspectives, technology partners, industries, and services. Website content does not create a client, advisory, fiduciary, employment, partnership, or agency relationship. Services are provided only under a separate written agreement signed by authorized representatives.

3. Permitted use

The website may be used only for lawful business and informational purposes. Users must not interfere with website operation or security, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, scrape or harvest data without written permission, impersonate another person, misuse forms, infringe intellectual property, or use the website in a way that violates applicable law or the rights of others. Access may be restricted or terminated when misuse is suspected.

4. Accuracy of information

Gatestone works to keep website content useful and current, but content may contain errors, omissions, or information that becomes outdated. Capabilities, partners, availability, results, timelines, and service descriptions may change without notice. Decisions should not be based solely on website content. Specific commitments apply only when included in a signed written agreement.

5. Intellectual property

The website and its content, including text, graphics, designs, interfaces, videos, trademarks, logos, reports, articles, software, and other materials, are owned by or licensed to Gatestone and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Limited copies may be made for internal, non-commercial evaluation if all notices remain intact. No other reproduction, modification, publication, distribution, sale, reverse engineering, or commercial use is permitted without prior written authorization.

6. Trademarks

Gatestone names, logos, product names, and service marks are trademarks or trade names of Gatestone or affiliated entities. Third-party names and logos belong to their respective owners. Display on the website does not grant a licence or imply endorsement beyond any relationship expressly described.

7. Submissions and communications

Information submitted through a general website form is treated as non-confidential unless a separate written confidentiality agreement applies. Users should not submit client data, consumer records, credentials, payment information, health information, or other sensitive material through general forms. A submission must be accurate, lawful, and within the sender’s authority to provide. Gatestone may use submitted information to respond to the request and manage the related business relationship in accordance with the Privacy and Data Protection Policy.

8. Third-party websites and services

Links to third-party websites, platforms, social networks, and technology providers are supplied for convenience. Gatestone does not control those services and is not responsible for their availability, content, security, privacy practices, or terms. A link does not constitute an endorsement unless explicitly stated. Use of a third-party service is at the user’s own risk and subject to that provider’s terms.

9. Privacy and data protection

Personal information collected through the website is handled according to the Gatestone Privacy and Data Protection Policy and applicable law. Users are responsible for ensuring they have authority and any required consent before providing personal information about another person.

10. Website availability and security

The website may be changed, suspended, restricted, or discontinued at any time. Gatestone does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, error-free, or secure access. Users are responsible for protecting their own devices, accounts, credentials, and data when accessing the website.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis without representations, warranties, or conditions of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. This includes warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, security, and freedom from harmful components.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Gatestone and its affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, loss of profits, loss of opportunity, loss of data, business interruption, or reputational harm arising from or related to the website. Where liability cannot be excluded, total liability relating to website use will be limited to the greater of the amount paid specifically for website access during the preceding twelve months or one hundred Canadian dollars.

13. Indemnity

A user agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Gatestone and its affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from unlawful website use, breach of these terms, infringement of another party’s rights, or information submitted without proper authority.

14. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated at any time. The current version and effective date will be posted on this page. Continued website use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any mandatory legal rights, disputes relating to the website will be submitted to the courts located in Ontario.

16. General provisions

If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the minimum extent required, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These terms form the entire agreement concerning general website use, subject to any separate written agreement.
