VANIER TERMS OF USE

Getting paired with a TASC peer tutor is a semester long commitment: By signing up with a peer tutor, you are committing to 1 hour every week. If you cannot make this commitment, please use drop-in tutors/teachers instead.
TASC peer tutors will not do your homework and will not edit your work. The purpose of TASC peer tutoring is to help you improve your academic skills. Tutors will be able to identify and discuss academic problems but will not, however, fix your mistakes for you.
If you are more than five minutes late for your appointment, the appointment will be considered canceled. If you need to cancel your appointment, let your tutor know as soon as possible.
If you do not show up for an appointment without letting your tutor know in advance, you will receive 1 warning. If it happens a second time, you will lose tutoring privileges for the duration of the semester.
By signing up with a peer tutor, you are promising to always treat your tutor with respect and to always respect the rules of the TASC tutoring spaces, E-300 and E-320.

General. All rights and remedies of each party under this Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised at any time and from time to time, independently or in combination.

Assignment & Enurement. The Licensee may not assign, transfer or encumber this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of Nimbus. Any attempted assignment, transfer or encumbrance without the required consent shall be void.

Notwithstanding this Agreement, any breach of the Articles titled “CONFIDENTIALITY”, “INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY”, “LICENCES”, “ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS & COVENANTS”, or “INFRINGEMENT” is a breach of this Agreement that may cause serious and irreparable harm to Nimbus.

7. Safeguarding Your Personal Information

Nimbus is committed to safeguarding your personal information. Nimbus uses appropriate security measures to protect personal information against risks such as loss or theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, misuse, modification or destruction, and any other unlawful form of processing of the personal information in our possession regardless of the format in which it is held. The methods of protection and safeguards used by Nimbus include, but are not limited to:

Administrative safeguards such as privacy and security policies and procedures, privacy and data protection training for Nimbus staff;

Technical safeguards such as security testing, vulnerability scans, and technological measures, including the use of passwords, encryption, firewalls, and secure coding frameworks;

Physical safeguards such as locked filing cabinets, and need-to-know access for Nimbus employees.

Nimbus also ensures that its employees with access to personal information are made aware of the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of personal information.

Nimbus takes care in disposing of or destroying personal information to prevent unauthorized parties from gaining access to the information.

While Nimbus is committed to safeguarding your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any personal information we collect either directly or automatically from you, and you do so at your own risk.

Nimbus cannot guarantee that such personal information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our security safeguards. To the degree that personal information is of a sensitive nature, in the event of a breach, there may be a risk of significant harm to you which includes bodily harm, humiliation, damage to reputation or relationships, loss of employment, business or professional opportunities, financial loss, identity theft, negative effects on the credit record and damage to or loss of property.

Nimbus also cannot guarantee that information sent or received over the Internet is secure and does not make any representation or warranty concerning the security of personal information communicated to or from Nimbus via the Internet or regarding the interception by third parties.

8. Transfer of Personal Information

Subject to any contractual restrictions as between Nimbus and a Subscribing Organization requiring your personal information to be stored and processed in Canada, your personal information may be stored and processed in any country where we engage third party service providers (e.g. United States). While such information is outside of your country of residence, it is subject to the law of the country in which it is held, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts, or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country. For example, personal information stored in the United States is subject to the US PATRIOT ACT.

Regardless of where your personal information may be stored and processed, Nimbus’s practices will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy. In addition, Nimbus has measures in place to ensure that when your personal information is transferred to a third party for processing, whether within or outside Canada, it is subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable data protection laws. These measures typically include contractual safeguards stipulating the confidentiality of the information and the purposes for which it is to be used.

Where and when appropriate, we will transmit amended personal information to third parties having access to the personal information in question.

9. Retention of Personal Information

Nimbus will only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the relevant purposes set out in the Policy Privacy and in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. To determine the appropriate retention period for your information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your information, the purposes for which we process your information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Please note, if you are a registered user and your Nimbus account becomes inactive, Nimbus may choose not to retain your personal information associated with your Nimbus account, or any other records associated with your Nimbus account, for a period longer than three years after your Nimbus account becomes inactive, in which case such information may be destroyed. If your Nimbus account becomes inactive, you are solely responsible for exporting any such information from your Nimbus account that you may wish to retain.

10. Non-Personal Information

We may collect, use and disclose non-personal information, including aggregated data resulting from the combination and/or aggregation or certain raw data collected from you with other data in a way that no longer personally identifies you. We make no attempt to link this non-personal information with the identity of individuals. We may permanently archive non-personal information for future use in any manner whatsoever.

11. Accuracy of Personal Information

Nimbus is committed to keeping your personal information as complete, up-to-date and accurate as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used. Nimbus will promptly correct or complete any personal information found to be inaccurate or incomplete. Where appropriate, Nimbus will transmit amended information to third parties having access to the personal information in question.

12. Access to Personal Information

Upon request, Nimbus will provide you with a reasonable opportunity to review the accuracy of your personal information. Such personal information will be provided within a reasonable time of the request and at a minimal or no cost to you.

Also upon request, Nimbus will provide an account of the use and disclosure of your personal information and, where reasonably possible, will state the source of the information. In providing an account of disclosure, Nimbus will provide a list of organizations to which it may have disclosed personal information about you when it is not possible to provide an actual list.

In certain situations, Nimbus may not be able to provide access to all of the personal information we hold about you. In such a case, we will provide the reasons for denying access upon request. Such reasons may include:

if doing so would likely reveal personal information about another individual that cannot be severed or the information could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual;
if doing so would reveal any of our confidential information;
if the information is protected by solicitor-client privilege;
if the information was generated in the course of a formal dispute resolution process; or
if the information was collected in relation to the investigation of a breach of an agreement or a contravention of a federal or provincial law, or that of a foreign jurisdiction.

Individuals can obtain information or seek access to their personal information by contacting our Privacy Officer pursuant to Section 17 of the Privacy Policy during regular business hours.

We may use other technologies similar to cookies like web beacons, which are sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited the Sites or opened an email that we have sent them. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

14. Links to Other Websites

The Sites may contain links to other sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. The Privacy Policy only applies to personal information that we collect, use and disclose. We are not responsible or liable for the privacy practices of third parties, and we strongly recommend that you review their privacy policies before you disclose personal information to them.

15. Targeted Advertising and How You May Opt Out

We may use third party advertising partners such as advertising networks, exchanges, and social media platforms to display advertising on the Sites or to manage and serve our advertising on other sites. You have a variety of options to opt out of interest based advertising ranging from browser controls, add on utilities such as ad blockers, and other opt out tools. Other opt out tools may include organizations, such as the Network Advertising Initiative, whose members agree to provide a means for consumers to opt out of the members’ targeted advertising on websites.

16. Analytics

The Sites employ Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the Sites, compiling reports on the Sites’ activity for the Sites’ operators and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. The information generated by the cookie (including the IP address) is transferred and stored on a Google server located in the United States.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other information held by Google.

We may also use additional analytics programs from time to time to process non-personal information about you.

We make no attempt to link this non-personal information with the identity of individuals using the Service. Non-personal information may be permanently archived for future use in any manner whatsoever by Nimbus.

Disable Google Analytics

You can prevent the collection and processing of cookie created data relating to your utilization of the Sites (including your IP) via Google by downloading and installing the browser-plugin available under the following link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

Google currently offers this opt-out tool for Internet Explorer 11, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Opera.

Further information concerning the terms and conditions of Google’s use and data privacy can be found at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html or at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

21. Privacy Policy Changes

We may modify the Privacy Policy to accommodate changes in our services, changes in technology and legal developments. If we make changes to the Privacy Policy, we will provide notice through the Service, or by other means to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. For example, we may place a prominent notice on the Sites or e-mail you to let you know of an updated Privacy Policy.

If we make significant changes to the Privacy Policy, we will provide at least 30 days’ notice through the Service, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes and provide your required consent before they become effective. A significant change may be using personal information for a new purpose or disclosures to new third parties.

You acknowledge that your continued use of the Service after we modify the Privacy Policy, publish or send a notice about our changes to the Privacy Policy means that the collection, use and sharing of your personal data is subject to the updated Privacy Policy.

If you object to any changes to the Privacy Policy you may close your account.
