STARS Site Registration Terms and Conditions

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS. THESE INCLUDE VARIOUS DISCLAIMERS, INDEMNITIES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITIES. 

These Site Registration Terms and Conditions are made between SHOCK TRAUMA AIR RESCUE SERVICE (“STARS“) and you (“Customer“) as of the date that you accepted these terms and conditions through STARS’ website (the “Effective Date“).  Customer agrees that this Agreement is like any written agreement signed by Customer, and Customer agrees to be bound by, and fully comply with, its terms.  Customer represents and warrants that Customer has all necessary right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform and otherwise discharge all of Customer’s obligations hereunder.

1. VIGILANT SITE REGISTRATION SERVICES

[1.1]  Subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement, STARS agrees to provide Customer with services which are intended to allow Customer to register their temporary or permanent work sites with STARS for the purpose of providing STARS with details (such as the type of work being completed, hazards onsite, medical capabilities, location, and contact details) to help arrange medical transport in case a medical emergency occurs at the site (the “Services“). In the event of an emergency, the Services are intended to enable Customer to place one call to connect to an emergency communications specialist at STARS who can them initiate a medical response at the applicable site. STARS’ knowledge of the site (as provided to Customer) is expected to expedite a prompt response through its mutual aid relationships and contacts within the medical response field. The Service is intended to monitor staffed sites 20 minutes or more drive to a major hospital, improving emergency preparedness, impacting response time, and helping to meet OH&S requirements. A subscription to the Services service includes the following registration types: (i) permanent sites (i.e. fixed locations with no end date); and (ii) temporary sites (i.e. multiple locations with precise end dates).

[1.2]  From time to time, STARS may allow third parties to assist in the event that there is an emergency within close proximity to them (“Neighbour Helping Neighbour Initiative“). The intent of the Neighbour Helping Neighbour Initiative is to permit such third parties, who are unaffiliated with STARS and who may have no medical training whatsoever, to provide assistance during the time it takes professional medical assistance (e.g. EMS) to arrive at the scene (each such third party being a “Neighbor“). Subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement, STARS agrees to allow Customer to: (i) receive assistance through its the Neighbour Helping Neighbour Initiative; and (ii) volunteer to serve as a Neighbor, it being understood that there is no obligation for Customer to so volunteer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Neighbour Helping Neighbour Initiative (including Customer’s receipt of assistance from a Neighbor and/or Customer’s provision of assistance as a Neighbor) forms part of the Services.

[1.3]  In providing the Services, STARS shall be free to perform the Services by its own methods, provided that doing so does not conflict with the provision of the Services or breach the terms of this Agreement.

[1.4]  STARS’ ability to provide the Services is dependent on Customer providing STARS with timely and accurate information to STARS. Customer acknowledges that failure to maintain an accurate information with STARS, and in the manner required for such information to be maintained (where specified), may result in the inability of STARS to deliver the Services in a timely manner, or at all. Such an occurrence shall not be considered STARS’ fault.

[1.5]  If requested by Customer in writing, STARS may provide the Services to affiliates of Customer from time to time. The parties agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall also apply to the provision of Services by STARS to affiliates of Customer. STARS shall have no obligation to provide the Services to any such affiliate until such time as such affiliate has executed and delivered a copy of this Agreement to STARS, or a joinder in form and substance acceptable to STARS. Additional fees/charges will apply for the provision of Services to affiliates.

[1.6]  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER ON AN “AS-IS”, “AS AVAILABLE” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS, AND STARS AND ITS SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS CONCERNING THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR PERFORMANCE AND ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE ARISE DURING THE COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE AND THOSE WHICH MAY BE IMPLIED BY LAW. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, STARS AND ITS SUPPLIERS EXPLICITLY DISCLAIM THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICES WILL BE TROUBLE-FREE. THIS AGREEMENT SETS OUT THE ENTIRE EXTENT OF ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS IN RESPECT OF THE SERVICES.

2. FEES

[2.1]  Customer shall be responsible for paying to STARS the applicable fees for the Services set out: (i) in a notice sent directly by STARS to Customer (or if no such notice is given, the fees set out on STARS’s website as at the Effective Date), together with any other amount payable pursuant to this Agreement (all such amounts are referred to as “Fees“). Fees are invoiced upfront for all Services provided during the Term of this Agreement, and in the case of a renewal of this Agreement under Section 1, Fees are separately invoiced upfront for all Services provided during each renewal Term thereafter. Subject to Section 2.4, each invoice issued by STARS under this Agreement is due within 30 calendar days from the date of invoice, by cheque, pre-authorized credit card payment or such other means of payment as the parties may mutually agree.

[2.2]  STARS reserves the right to reassess the number or type of sites disclosed by Customer if Customer’s disclosure is not accurate or complete, the number or type of sites changes during the Term (as defined below), or where STARS, acting reasonably, deems appropriate. In the event STARS elects to make such a reassessment, it shall provide 30 days written notice to Customer. If Customer does not agree to pay any increase in Fees arising from any such reassessment, Customer’s sole remedy is to terminate this Agreement within said 30 day period.

[2.3]  Fees do not include any applicable sales, use, excise, GST, HST, value-added or other taxes or duties; Customer is responsible for paying same.

[2.4]  Fees may be reviewed by STARS from time to time during the Term. Any Fees increase shall only be effective thirty (30) days after Customer has received notice from STARS. In the event that Customer does not agree to any such Fee increase, Customer’s sole remedy is terminate this Agreement by providing STARS with notice within thirty (30) days of being notified by STARS of the Fee increase. In the event that Customer does not terminate the Agreement within this time period, this Agreement will automatically be amended to reflect the price Fee increase.

[2.5]  STARS may suspend the provision of the Services if: (i) the payment of the Fees is overdue; and (ii) STARS has given to Customer at least thirty (30) days’ written notice of its intention to suspend the Services on this basis. STARS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER (OR ANY THIRD PARTY) WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOSSES DAMAGES, INJURIES OR DEATH ARISING FROM OR CONNECTED TO ANY SUCH SUSPENSION OF THE SERVICES BY STARS.
