FACEBOOK CONNECT

The Site allows users to access Facebook Connect to interact with friends and to share information on Facebook on their Wall and through friends’ News Feeds. If you are logged into the Site and Facebook, when you click on "Connect with Facebook", your profiles will merge if the email addresses match. If the email addresses don’t match, your authorization will be required to merge them and you must then enter your password for the Site to validate this action. If you are already logged into the Site but not logged into Facebook, when you click on "Connect with Facebook" you will be prompted to enter your Facebook credentials or to "Sign up for Facebook." By accepting the prompt, you are allowing the Site to access your information and you have agreed to the Facebook Terms of Use when you use the Site. It is recommended to read the Facebook terms of use before using Facebook Connect.

Conversely, if you are not currently registered as a Site user and you click on "Sign in Using Facebook," you will first be asked to enter your Facebook credentials and then be given the option to register and join the Site. Once you register on the Site and you connect with Facebook, you will be able to automatically post on Facebook your recent activity on the Site. You have the option to disable Facebook Connect at any time by logging into "My Profile" and clicking on "My Facebook Profile." Further, you can edit privacy settings for the reviews that appear on Facebook or disconnect this service by visiting the Facebook Application Settings page.

GOVERNING LAW

The Site is operated from Montreal, Province of Quebec, Canada. Any conflict between a user and SM360 or the Dealership is therefore subject to the laws applicable in the Province of Quebec and the applicable laws of Canada. Furthermore, you hereby agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Quebec in respect of any action or proceeding arising out or related to the Site.

OTHER CONDITIONS

The Terms, including all documents that they refer to, constitute the entire agreement between SM360, the Dealership and yourself as to the purpose of these Terms. The fact that SM360 and the Dealership do not ask for nor obtain the strict fulfillment of a condition of the Terms shall not be interpreted as the relinquishment on their part of this condition or other right. The fact that one of the conditions of the Terms herein is declared void, invalid or not enforceable by law by a court of competent jurisdiction shall not affect the other terms of this legal disclaimer.
