Any dispute arising from your use of this site will be brought before the competent courts of the judicial district of Saint-Hyacinthe, Québec.

8. Changes to these terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these terms at any time. Material changes will be announced on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
