Terms of service.

Effective August 3, 2022

INTRODUCTION

Welcome! These are the Terms of Service (the “Terms” or “Agreement“) for www.domila.ca (the “ Website“) and the mobile version of the Website (collectively, the “Services“). The Services are provided by Maltais Holdings Ltd. The Services provide information on properties in the province of Nova Scotia.

These Terms, together with any other agreements that you may enter into with Maltais Holdings Ltd, including any “click-through” agreement that may apply to certain promotions, products or services, govern your access to and use of the Services. If any special terms apply to any promotions, products or services, you will be asked to expressly consent to them, for example, by checking a box or clicking a button marked “I agree.” The terms of any such agreements will supplement the terms and conditions contained in these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect at all times. These Terms incorporate our Privacy Notice by reference. Our Privacy Notice describes (i) the personal information that we collect from or about you on or through the Services; (ii) how we collect your personal information, how we use it, with whom we may share it, and (iii) the choices you have regarding our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.

Please read these Terms carefully. They constitute a legal agreement between you and Maltais Holdings Ltd. By executing an agreement that references these Terms, or by accessing, browsing, or using the Services, you confirm your agreement to accept and be bound by these Terms, as they may be amended from time to time (see section 14 below), in relation to your relationship with us, both before and after your acceptance of these Terms. If the individual who accepts these Terms is accepting on behalf of a company or other legal entity, that individual represents that they have the authority to bind that entity and its affiliates to these Terms, in which case the term “you”, “your”, and “yourself” also refers to that entity and its affiliates. If the individual who accepts these Terms does not have that authority, or does not agree with these Terms, that individual and the company or other legal entity they represent must not accept these Terms and may not access or use the Services.

These Terms are provided in a layered format for ease of access. Click on the table of contents to jump to a specific section.
