Your relationship with Touratel
1.1
Your use of Touratel’s products, software, services
and web sites (referred to collectively as the “Services”

trade name of Northport. “Northport” means
Northport Inc., whose principal place of business
is at 95 St. Clair Ave. West, Suite 1406, Toronto,
Ontario, M4V 1N6, Canada. This document explains how
the agreement is made up, and sets out some of the
terms of that agreement. This document may exclude
services provided to you by Northport under a separate
written agreement.
1.2
Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Northport,
your agreement with Northport will always include,
at a minimum, the terms and conditions set out in
this document. These are referred to below as the
“Universal Terms”.
1.3
Your agreement with Northport will also include the
terms of any Legal Notices applicable to the Services,
in addition to the Universal Terms. All of these are
referred to below as the “Additional Terms”.
Where Additional Terms apply to a Service, these will
be accessible for you to read either within, or through
your use of, that Service.
1.4
The Universal Terms, together with the Additional
Terms, form a legally binding agreement between you
and Northport in relation to your use of the Services.
It is important that you take the time to read them
carefully. Collectively, this legal agreement is referred
to below as the “Terms”.

use of the Services as acceptance of the Terms from
that point onwards.
2.3
You may not use the Services and may not accept the
Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding

discretion.
4.6

of Services and should the Services fail to perform
