These website terms of use (the "Terms of Use") describe the terms that apply to any visitor to the website of Gastier M.P. Inc. and Gastier International Inc. ("Gastier") or its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively the "Websites"). By accessing, visiting and/or using the Websites, you agree to be bound by and comply fully with the Terms of Use. If you do not wish to accept the Terms of Use, you must not access or use the Websites. We advise you to consult these Terms of Use regularly, as they may be modified at any time without notice. Any modification of the Terms of Use will take effect immediately upon publication and will be immediately enforceable against third parties. If you do not accept any of the Terms of Use or any of their modifications, you must immediately stop using the Websites. Access to the Websites after the publication of modifications constitutes acceptance of the Terms of Use as modified.

1. Nature of Information

Gastier and its subsidiaries and affiliates have created the Websites for the personal use of their visitors. Gastier makes every effort to ensure that the information available on the Websites is accurate and up-to-date. Gastier reserves the right to change the content of the Websites at any time without notice, including any content, materials, page headers, custom graphics, icons and scripts, as well as the presentation, arrangement, coordination, enhancement and selection of such information and other information in text, graphic, video and audio form, images, icons, software, designs, applications, data and other elements available on or through the Websites. We therefore invite you to consult them regularly.

Gastier hereby grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to access, use, read and print the content of the Websites for personal, non-commercial and non-profit purposes only. Your use of the Websites does not transfer to you any ownership or other rights in the Websites or their content. You may use the Websites for lawful purposes and only in the manner expressly described in the Terms of Use and subject to applicable law. Use of the Websites for any other purpose or in any other manner is strictly prohibited.

We have compiled the content of the Websites with the greatest possible care. However, the Websites are provided for information purposes only. Gastier cannot, however, give a 100% guarantee that the content of the Websites is correct, accurate, up-to-date and complete, that the Websites will operate without interruption and/or will be error-free. Furthermore, the integrity of the Websites and the use made of them cannot be guaranteed to be secure, free of viruses, Trojan horses, worms or other destructive or disruptive components, defects or errors, as information could be intercepted, corrupted, lost or destroyed.

Visitors who rely on information presented on the Websites do so entirely at their own risk. The information presented on the Websites (including information uploaded by users, if any) is provided "as is", without any statement, warranty, representation or condition of any kind, either express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Gastier makes no warranty, express or implied, as to the merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of the information presented on its Websites. Gastier is not responsible for any decisions made or use made by you or any other person in reliance on information provided on the Websites.

To the extent permitted by law, Gastier, including its subsidiaries and affiliates, officers and employees, excludes by the Terms of Use all liability for any damages of any kind, direct and/or indirect, caused in any way by and/or arising out of the use of the Websites or any site linked to the Websites, including - but not limited to - any damages arising out of and/or from:

• any inaccuracy or omission in the information presented on the Websites;

• any damage resulting from fraudulent or otherwise illegal intrusion by a third party resulting in the modification of the information or material provided on the Websites;

• in general, any damage, direct or indirect, whatever the cause, origin, nature or consequences, such as:
  (i) access to or inability to access the Websites;
  (ii) use of the Websites, including any damage to any person (including intellectual property rights) or any virus that may affect your computer system or any other item; and/or
  (iii) reliance on any information provided directly or indirectly on the Websites.

Gastier categorically rejects any interpretation of the Terms of Use that would tend to equate the content of the Websites with an offer to purchase or an invitation to purchase shares or other securities, whether or not listed on a stock exchange, of Gastier, any of its subsidiaries or companies with which it is directly or indirectly related.

While each Gastier affiliate is a separate legal entity, the terms "Gastier entities" or "we" may sometimes be used to refer to such entities collectively. The Websites may provide access to other websites of Gastier group member companies, which may have their own legal notices, which must be consulted and complied with.

2. Prohibited behavior

You agree to access and use the Websites and their content only for lawful purposes, and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of third parties, or restrict or inhibit the use and enjoyment of the Websites by third parties. Such restrictions or prohibitions include, but are not limited to, (i) conduct that is unlawful, contrary to public policy or morality, or likely to harass or cause annoyance or inconvenience to any person, or (ii) disruption of the normal flow of interactions within the Websites, or anything else that, in Gastier's sole discretion, imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on Gastier's Websites infrastructure.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you are prohibited from attempting to circumvent and/or breach the security measures of the Websites.

You agree, represent and warrant that all moral rights in the contents are assigned in favor of Gastier and its assigns.

6. Warnings regarding forward-looking statements

The Websites may contain certain statements that are not historical facts and that may constitute forward-looking statements, including (but not limited to) statements relating to forecasts of future events, trends, plans or objectives. These statements are based on management's current beliefs and assumptions and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements (or from past results). Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are communicated, and Gastier undertakes no obligation to update or revise them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

7. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Gastier and its subsidiaries, affiliates, their directors, officers, employees, representatives, licensors and licensees ("Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any claim or demand by any third party alleging or based upon any breach by you of these Terms of Use, including attorneys' fees, or breach by you of any law or right of such third party. Gastier reserves the right to assume, at its own expense, the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you hereunder, and you will cooperate to the fullest extent reasonably required by Gastier.

8. Miscellaneous

Gastier reserves the right to make changes and corrections to the Websites and/or the Terms of Use at any time without notice. The Terms of Use, as they may be amended from time to time, constitute the entire agreement between you and Gastier with respect to your access to or use of the Websites and supersede all prior and contemporaneous communications, representations, understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between Gastier and you with respect thereto.

The provisions of the Terms of Use shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Gastier, its successors and assigns, related persons, and you, your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and personal representatives (and those of any person you represent). Any assignment or other transfer of the rights granted by these Terms of Use is strictly prohibited. Gastier may, however, assign its rights and obligations under these Terms of Use to a third party without obtaining your prior consent.

If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms of Use to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, then that provision shall be severed from the remaining provisions, which shall remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The Terms of Use and the use of the Websites shall be governed by the laws of Quebec and Canada applicable therein, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Website shall be decided by the courts of the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
