Jurisdication

The site (“Site”) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province of Quebec. All disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or in connection with the Site shall be submitted to and be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the province of Quebec.

1. Description of Site

The Site is intended for adults, except for the Kid zone, which is for children 6 to 13 years of age. It provides general information on the School Caisse, how it works and the advantages it offers the children and teachers who participate in the program. It also provides specific information about the participating schools and School Caisse activities. It lets you communicate with the participating caisse’s School Caisse representative and enrol a child for the School Caisse program or enter the various related contests.

You alone are responsible for paying the costs associated with use of the Site, such as Internet connection charges or fees charged for connecting to networks that provide access to Internet content. As well, you are responsible for acquiring any equipment needed for such connections.
