Only Canadian laws apply to the Site and to the use of the Site by any users, notwithstanding the place of residence and physical location of such users.

While we use reasonable efforts to ensure that all information contained on the Site is accurate and current, your use of the Site is at your own risk. The Site is not the authoritative source of information about the Product or Services or about CSC, its advertisers, suppliers, business partners, sponsors or other third parties.

The purchase of any CSC product is conditional upon the purchaser’s agreement to be bound by CSC’s Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims and Indemnity Agreement.
