Disclose Any Professional Connections. If you are an employee of the Company or have a professional connection to the Company and are contributing in your personal capacity, you must disclose your position. For example, you may include a phrase in your comment stating, "I am an employee of the Company commenting in my own personal capacity.”
Take care with personal information. Avoid providing or soliciting personal information that might allow others to identify, contact, track, harass, or impersonate you or another person.
Be civil in all of your interactions with the Website. Do not, and do not attempt to, defame, ridicule, libel, mock, disparage, harass, threaten, intimidate, abuse, bully, defraud or mislead other users. Do not make offensive or inappropriate comments, including but not limited to offensive or inappropriate comments about race, religion, social class, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability. Avoid using, posting, linking, or otherwise making available profane, obscene, indecent, pornographic, sexual or otherwise objectionable content.
Inappropriate content is unwelcome. The Company may remove any such content from the Website without notice. The Company reserves the right to review any comments or posts prior to posting them to the Website, so your comments and posts may not appear right away.
Respect the Intellectual Property of others. Only post content if you own or have the appropriate rights to the content - including any right required to post or share that content on the Website.
Respect the Company’s Intellectual Property. All of the content that the Company creates or posts on the Website, including any trademarks, logos, taglines, videos, text, photos, graphics, and designs is protected under Canadian and international trademark and copyright laws, intellectual property laws, proprietary rights and laws, and is owned by or licensed to the Company unless otherwise indicated.

The Company is Not Responsible for User Created Content.

The Website and these Conditions of Use have been designed to comply with Canadian laws and regulations to allow use by Canadian individuals only. Any information the Company provides is intended for Canadian individuals only.
Do not share your own or anyone else’s medical information. Do not attempt to provide medical advice on this Website. Medical questions should be addressed to a qualified physician or health care provider. Information on the Website is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment of any health condition or problem.
From time to time the Company may have to remove posts, comments, or other shared content comment from the Website. Here's why:
Your comment inappropriately references a product, service, or website (the Company’s or someone else's). The Company doesn’t endorse any users' comments other than its own, but the Company still has to pay attention to the laws and regulations that govern this industry in Canada. In many cases, the Company is only allowed to mention name, price and quantity when discussing a product. Also, often the Company cannot allow links to third party websites since the Company cannot ensure that they contain, and will continue to contain, information that is both fair and balanced.
Your comment references a possible adverse event. Your comment includes reference to a possible adverse event related to any product.
If you are not Canadian, ask a qualified physician or health care provider for more information or contact your local health authority to report adverse events.
Your comment includes vulgarity. If you use bad language, your comment or post may be removed. The Company may also remove comments and posts it deems to be a personal attack of any kind or which it deems to be offensive, including for use of terms that target specific ethnic, racial, religious, age or gender orientation groups. Treat other users with respect at all times.
You are providing medical advice. The Company knows its users want to help one another, but serious legal, regulatory, and health related implications may result from spreading unsolicited and unverified medical advice; the Company can't allow it on the Website. As always, consult a qualified physician or health care provider for medical advice.
Your comment is spam. Sometimes comments are spam, are clearly off-topic, make unsupported claims, or promote services or products. Please do not use the Website for these purposes.
Computers can be tricky. Sometimes the Company will need to remove a comment or comments for a reason not outlined above, or comments may be removed or may not be posted due to technical reasons. If that is the case, the Company will attempt to post a notification to the Website indicating why comments or posts were removed. But please know that the Company reserves the right to delete any comment at its sole discretion.
