Lesson plans, unit outlines, and other teaching materials you share for custom orders are treated as confidential. We do not reuse, resell, or publish your custom materials without explicit written consent.

10. Contact

These Terms of Service govern your access to activeaql.site and your purchase of educational materials from Active Aql Inc. By using the site or placing an order, you agree to these Terms.

1. Who We Are

2. Website Use

You may use this site for lawful purposes only. You may not scrape, copy, redistribute, or republish its content without written permission. All content, including text, images, and catalogue design, is protected by copyright.

3. Custom Orders

Custom orders are confirmed only after a written quote has been accepted and any required deposit has been received. Production timelines are estimates and may vary based on complexity and volume.

4. Pricing & Payment

Prices are quoted in Canadian Dollars (CAD) unless otherwise stated. For custom orders, a 50% deposit is required before production begins; the balance is due upon delivery.

5. Cancellations & Refunds

Custom orders may be cancelled before production begins, subject to a fee for any work already completed. Once production has started, deposits are non-refundable because the materials are made specifically for you.

6. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of any lesson plans, unit outlines, or teaching materials you provide for custom orders. Active Aql Inc. retains ownership of the design, layout, and production of the final educational materials, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Active Aql Inc. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of this website or our materials. Our aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount paid for the specific order giving rise to the claim.

8. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario.
