USER TERMS OF SERVICE
Effective: October 18, 2022
Sections
These User Terms of Service (the “User Terms”) govern your access to and use of our Re-TRAC Connect™ service, our RecycleSearch™ service, and our Re-TRAC™ platform (collectively, the “Services” and, individually, a “Service”) as a User.
By registering to use any Service, whether as:
- an individual authorized on behalf of a third party entity referred to in these User Terms as a “Customer” to access and use a Subscribed Service, which is any Service for which that entity pays us a fee in order to be provided with such access and use (a “User”), or
- an individual authorized on behalf of a third party entity referred to in these User Terms as a “Reporting Entity” that is approved as a member by a Customer to enter data or other information to that Customer’s configurable program(s) within a Subscribed Service (a “Reporting Entity User”), or
- an individual authorized on behalf of a third party entity referred to in these User Terms as an “MMP Entity” approved by us as a member to access and use the Municipal Measurement Program™ (“MMP”™), which is a standardized program assessment and planning tool within the Services (an “MMP User”),
you (herein referenced as “you” and “your”) are agreeing to comply with and be bound by these User Terms.
Representations during, and Binding Effect of, Registration
For greater certainty:
- these User Terms are binding on each User, on each Reporting Entity User (and the organization that such Reporting Entity User registers on behalf of and that is named in the account creation process triggered by such registration or is named in the join program process – a “Reporting Entity”), and on each MMP User (and the organization that such MMP User registers on behalf of and that is named in the account creation process triggered by such registration or is named in the join program process – an “MMP Entity”);
- any individual who registers on behalf of a Customer represents (in so registering to create an account or confirm a purchase) that he/she is authorized to do so as a User by that Customer;
- any reference herein to a “Customer” includes all Emerge Knowledge Customers who are governed by the Customer Terms of Service for a Configurable Program (for a Subscribed Service), and the Customer Terms of Service for a Standardized Program (for a Subscribed Service);
- any individual who registers as a Reporting Entity User on behalf of a Reporting Entity represents (in so registering to create an account) that he/she is not only authorized to do so by that Reporting Entity but also to bind that Reporting Entity to these User Terms;
- any individual who registers as an MMP User on behalf of an MMP Entity represents (in so registering to create an account) that he/she is not only authorized to do so by that MMP Entity but also to bind that MMP Entity to these User Terms; and
- any reference in these User Terms to “User” applies to every User representing a Customer, including each User with authority to add or remove permissions of other Users of a Subscribed Service for Customer (“Authorized User”), every Reporting Entity User, and every MMP User.
AS A RESULT, IF YOU DO NOT PERSONALLY AGREE TO THESE USER TERMS OR IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORIZATION REPRESENTED BY SUCH REGISTRATION (IN PARTICULAR, TO BIND A REPORTING ENTITY OR AN MMP ENTITY TO THESE USER TERMS), DO NOT REGISTER.
The terms “Emerge Knowledge,” “we”, “our,” and “us” refer to Emerge Knowledge Design Inc., the owner of this website and the provider of the Services.
First and Foremost
These User Terms are Legally Binding
In order to use the Services, you must first agree to these User Terms. These User Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and us (and between your Reporting Entity and us [if you are a Reporting Entity User] or between your MMP Entity and us [if you are an MMP User]), and as part of these User Terms you agree to comply with the most recent version of our Privacy Policy which is incorporated by reference into these User Terms. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information.
These User Terms (as well as our Privacy Policy) may be amended by us at any time or from time to time without specific notice to you. The latest terms will be posted on this website (and appropriately date stamped), and you should revisit this website periodically to determine if these User Terms have been amended. If so, you should review the amended terms so that you are aware of them vis a vis your continued use of the Services. Whether or not you review these User Terms, in their initial or any amended version, you will be bound by these terms in your use, or continued use, of the Services.
You may not use the Services, and may not accept the User Terms, if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding legal agreement with Emerge Knowledge, or (b) you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of Canada, the United States, or other applicable jurisdiction in which you are a resident and from which you wish to use the Services.
The Relationship Between You, a Customer/Reporting Entity/MMP Entity, and Us
The Customer for whom you are a User has separately agreed to our Customer Terms of Service or has entered into a written agreement with us or is bound to our Customer Terms of Service on the basis of a User’s activity including making a subscription purchase in official capacity as an employee of Customer (in any such case, the “Agreement”) that permits that Customer to have access to and use of one or more Subscribed Services. The Agreement is the contractual relationship between us and that Customer. These User Terms are the contractual relationship between us and you (as a User), between us and you (as a Reporting Entity User) and your Reporting Entity, or between us and you (as an MMP User) and your MMP Entity, as the case may be.

Data Ownership, Licensing, Responsibility, Use, and Consent
User
On behalf of a Customer governed by our Terms of Service for Configurable Programs
Customer Data includes all content, such as data, files, and messages, that you as a User for Customer may access and use such as enter, collect, store, process, display, delete, download, or export while using the Subscribed Services. You have sole responsibility for the legality, reliability, integrity, accuracy, and quality of Customer Data while using the Subscribed Services.
Retrieval of Customer Data in the Services as a User, pertaining to the termination of the Agreement between us and Customer, is governed by that Agreement.
On behalf of a Customer governed by our Terms of Service for Standardized Programs
You as a User for Customer may access, use, display, factually modify, and process data and messages that users of our Municipal Measurement Program™ (MMP™) in the geographic jurisdiction referred to in the Order Form (“MMP Users”) have entered, stored, and displayed in their use of the MMP (“MMP Data”). You may only factually modify MMP Data in accordance with the process applicable to such modifications as described in the Subscribed Service. You have sole responsibility for any such modifications and for how you otherwise use the MMP Data (including the legality of any such modification or use). We are not responsible in any manner whatsoever for any of the content in the MMP Data or for how you or any other User chooses to use it.
Reporting Entity User
You, as a Reporting Entity User, may enter, store, and display content, such as data, files, and messages, in one or more of our Customer’s program(s) in the Subscribed Services. You and your Reporting Entity understand and agree that if you enter content in a program of one of our Customers via the Services that all entered content is then owned by the Customer (ie. all such content immediately becomes part of that Customer’s Customer Data) and the Agreement between that Customer and us provides that Customer with many choices and control over its program and its Customer Data (including your entered content). During the term of the Agreement between us and the Customer for whom you have entered content, you may delete your survey response data while in draft status and may export your survey response data during draft, completed, and verified status; all other content that you enter as a Reporting Entity User in a program of one of our Customers cannot be deleted or retrieved by you or your Reporting Entity.
In addition, you and your Reporting Entity understand and agree that Emerge Knowledge may use any such content which you enter to deliver the Subscribed Services to Customer and to create Aggregated Data (which we can license to third parties). For greater certainty, our Agreements with Customers permit us to generate aggregate information from and about Subscribed Services through the combination and compilation of Customer Data from multiple Customers (which would include any content that you enter to a Customer’s program(s) in the Services), provided that the information is aggregated and/or de-identified so that it is no longer associated with an identifiable Customer of the Subscribed Service or any of its Reporting Entities (collectively, ”Aggregated Data”), and to use such Aggregated Data for statistical analysis, benchmarking, and other business or research purposes and/or to make such Aggregated Data (unanalyzed and/or analyzed) available to all Customers of the Subscribed Service, or to any third party(s). You and your Reporting Entity expressly agree and consent to our doing so.
You also acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for the legality, reliability, integrity, accuracy, and quality of any content that you enter using the Services, and represent and warrant that you have satisfied yourself that all relevant parties have been informed and have given their consent to the submission of any content by you via the Services, to the immediate ownership of such content by the relevant Customer, and to our use of such content to create and use Aggregated Data as so described.
MMP User
You as an MMP User may enter, store, and display content such as data and messages (“MMP Data”) in your use of the Municipal Measurement Program™ (MMP™) within the Services. Your MMP Entity will own your MMP Data, and you have sole responsibility for the legality, reliability, integrity, accuracy, and quality of any content that you enter using the Services that will become MMP Data. For as long as we choose at our discretion to maintain your access to the MMP in the Services and to host your MMP Data, you may delete your MMP survey response data only while in draft status and may export your survey response data during draft, completed, and verified status. For greater certainty and notwithstanding the foregoing, you and your MMP Entity acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible or liable in any way whatsoever for the way you choose to use your MMP Data and that we have no obligation to maintain your access to the MMP and/or to host MMP Data and/or allow you or your MMP Entity to access, use and/or retrieve your MMP Data.
You and your MMP Entity hereby grant us, and third parties with whom we work, a world-wide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, transferable and royalty-free license to access, use, modify, store, process, display, delete, export, and disclose your MMP Data as we see fit, and specifically for us to sell access to your MMP Data to any third party as we see fit, who may in turn access, use, display, store, factually modify and process your MMP Data as they see fit (the “MMP Data License”). MMP Data may be factually modified in accordance with the process applicable to such modifications as described in the Subscribed Service, which includes a notification to you (or to another MMP User on behalf of your MMP Entity if your account as an MMP User for that MMP Entity is no longer active). Modified MMP Data will still be owned by your MMP Entity. You represent and warrant that you have secured all rights in and to all of the MMP Data that you choose to enter in the MMP within the Services as may be necessary to grant this license and to provide such third party access and other rights. Finally, we may retain and use MMP Data in the MMP in accordance with the MMP Data License for as long as we, in our sole discretion, choose to do so, even if your account as an MMP User is terminated for any reason by you or us.

You Are Here At the Pleasure of a Customer, a Reporting Entity or an MMP Entity and Us
Emerge Knowledge continuously innovates in order to improve the Services and, subject to our commitments to our Customers in our Agreements with them, you agree that the form and nature of the Services we provide may change from time to time without prior notice to you.
The User Terms (as amended by us from time to time) remain effective and are binding on you until your Customer’s Agreement with us expires or terminates (in the case of Users), or your account as a User is otherwise terminated by you, your Customer or us, whichever occurs earlier. Please contact Emerge Knowledge if you at any time or for any reason wish to terminate your User account, including due to a disagreement with any updates to these User Terms including the Acceptable Use Policy or the Privacy Policy. Your notice should be sent, in writing, to legal@emergeknowledge.com, or by post to our address at the end of these User Terms.
For greater certainty, Emerge Knowledge may at any time immediately terminate your account if: a) you violate the User Terms; b) we are concurrently terminating the Agreement with the Customer for whom you were an User; c) required to by law; or d) we have decided, in our sole discretion, to cease offering the Services that you were using on behalf of a Customer, Reporting Entity or MMP Entity.
Our Review and Related Rights
We may review Customer Data (including content entered by a Reporting Entity User that becomes Customer Data) and MMP Data for legal compliance purposes. If we believe that there is a violation of law (such as publishing defamatory or offensive material), any Agreement, any User Terms, or any of our other policies that can simply be remedied by removal of that Customer Data or MMP Data or taking other action, we will, in most cases, ask the applicable Customer to take action to remove that Customer Data (rather than intervene with a Reporting Entity, if one of its Reporting Entity Users entered that data) or ask the applicable MMP User to remove that MMP Data, as the case may be.
We may also suspend or delete your Login Credentials to the Services if the applicable Customer or MMP User does not take appropriate and timely action or we believe there is a credible risk of harm to us, the Services, any Users, any Reporting Entity Users, any MMP Users, or any third parties.
The Re-TRAC Team
We may leverage our directors, officers, and employees (collectively, the “Re-TRAC Team”) in exercising our rights and performing our obligations under each Agreement and the User Terms. We will be responsible for the Re-TRAC Team’s compliance with our obligations under each Agreement.
Proprietary Rights
We own and will continue to own this website and the Services and we own and will continue to own (or are and will continue to be an authorized licensee) all software and data that we utilize to provide the Services (including any report templates generated by the software and the methodology that produces such reports), together with all modifications, enhancements, and updates to this website, the Services and/or to such software, as well as all related documentation, and any and all copyrights, patent rights, trademarks (whether registered or unregistered), trade secrets or other intellectual property rights of any nature or kind whatsoever therein or thereto that are not owned by a third party licensor of any such software, data, documentation or intellectual property right (collectively, “Our Intellectual Property”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the content, organization, graphics, design, compilation, digital conversion and other matters related to this website, the Services, and to such software and/or data and/or documentation are protected under applicable copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights, which are owned by us or any such third party licensor. The copying, redistribution, use, or publication by you of any such matters, except as expressly allowed by these User Terms, is strictly prohibited. Any and all of our rights not expressly granted by an Agreement to any Customer or pursuant to these User Terms are hereby retained by Emerge Knowledge.
You shall not use our name, logo, or trademarks in documents, presentations, or other materials that you distribute, except to the extent they are incorporated in reports by the design of the Services, or proper data source citations, unless our prior written permission is granted in each case.
Trademarks and servicemarks that appear on this website and/or in the Services that are not owned by Emerge Knowledge are the property of their respective owners.
Third Party Content
Emerge Knowledge assumes no obligation to screen, and does not routinely pre-screen, content Users submit via the Services. As a result, any use or reliance on any content, materials or communications obtained by you through the Services is at your own risk. Furthermore, links to third party websites found in the Services are provided merely as a convenience and do not imply endorsement of the linked or referenced sites or their content.

WE SHALL IN NO EVENT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF ANY CORRUPTED OR LOST CUSTOMER DATA OR MMP DATA THAT IS CORRUPTED OR LOST AS A RESULT OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION ON YOUR PART OR ON THE PART OF YOUR CUSTOMER (OR ANY OF ITS OTHER USERS), YOUR REPORTING ENTITY (OR ANY OF ITS OTHER REPORTING ENTITY USERS) OR YOUR MMP ENTITY (OR ANY OF ITS OTHER MMP USERS), AS THE CASE MAY BE.
Emerge Knowledge disclaims – and you release Emerge Knowledge from any liability regarding – errors, inaccuracies, and omissions in the Services.

Limitation of Liability
YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND THE CONSEQUENCES THEREOF. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE AGREEMENT WITH A CUSTOMER (IF YOU ARE A USER), REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT UNDER AN AGREEMENT OR THESE USER TERMS OR IN TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY), IN NO EVENT SHALL EMERGE KNOWLEDGE OR ANY MEMBER OF THE RE-TRAC TEAM BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR AGGRAVATED LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE OR KIND WHATSOEVER, HOWEVER CAUSED, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, DELAY IN USING OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES AND/OR ANY LINKED WEBSITE AND/OR PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM OR DEMAND AGAINST YOU (AND/OR YOUR REPORTING ENTITY (IF YOU ARE A REPORTING ENTITY USER) AND/OR YOUR MMP ENTITY (IF YOU ARE AN MMP USER)) BY ANY THIRD PARTY, EVEN IF EMERGE KNOWLEDGE AND/OR ANY MEMBER OF THE RE-TRAC TEAM MAY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES OR IF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.
THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN US AND YOU AS A USER, AND BETWEEN US AND YOUR REPORTING ENTITY (IF YOU ARE A REPORTING ENTITY USER) AND BETWEEN US AND YOUR MMP ENTITY (IF YOU ARE AN MMP USER). IN PARTICULAR, THESE LIMITATIONS ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THE USER TERMS BETWEEN US AND YOU (AND, IF APPLICABLE, YOUR REPORTING ENTITY OR MMP ENTITY, AS THE CASE MAY BE). WE HAVE RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN PRICING THE SERVICES, AND THE SERVICES WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED AT SUCH PRICING IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH LIMITATIONS.
Survival
The sections titled “Representations During, and Binding Effect of, Registration”, “First and Foremost”, “Proprietary Rights”, “Third Party Content”, “No Representations, Warranties, or Conditions”, “Limitation of Liability” and “Survival”, and all of the provisions under the headings “The Relationship Between You, a Customer/Reporting Entity/MMP Entity, and Us”, “Key Ground Rules”, You Are Here At the Pleasure of a Customer, a Reporting Entity or an MMP Entity and Us”, and “General Provisions” will survive any termination or expiration of the User Terms.
General Provisions
Notifications, Administrative Messages, and Notices
Critical notifications and administrative messages from Emerge Knowledge, and from any Customer via the Services, may be sent to you and you agree that these communications are considered part of the Services, which you may not be able to opt-out from receiving.
All notices to you under the User Terms will be via the Services, although notice to you may also be sent via email to the work email address associated with your Login Credentials. All notices from you to Emerge Knowledge will be sent to legal@emergeknowledge.com. Notices will be deemed to have been duly given (a) the day after it is sent, in the case of notices sent through email (so long as that ‘day after’ is a business day of the party receiving that notice), so long as the party sending the notice does not receive a response that the message was not received by the intended party; and (b) the same day, in the case of notices sent through the Services. Notices under an Agreement will be delivered solely to the Customer in accordance with the terms of that Agreement.
Feedback
You may provide us with suggestions, comments or other feedback regarding any existing Service or any future service plan, including but not limited to improved or additional functionality or features (“Feedback”). You agree that any Feedback shall be voluntarily given, that any and all Feedback will immediately and automatically become our property, and that we shall be entitled to incorporate any Feedback into any Service without any compensation or other liability or obligation of any nature or kind whatsoever to you or to the Customer, Reporting Entity or MMP Entity for whom you are a User.
Waiver
No failure or delay by either you or us in exercising any right under the User Terms, including the Privacy Policy, will constitute a waiver of that right. No waiver under the User Terms will be effective unless made in writing and signed by you and an Officer of Emerge Knowledge.
Interpretation
The headings contained in these User Terms are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of these User Terms. The User Terms shall be read with all changes in gender and number required by the context. The language in the User Terms shall be interpreted as to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party.
Severability
The User Terms, including the Privacy Policy, will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. If any provision of the User Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed from the rest of the User Terms and the remaining provisions of the User Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
Assignment
You may not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these User Terms, including the Privacy Policy, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of us (not to be unreasonably withheld). We may assign these User Terms in their entirety (including all terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference), without your consent, to a corporate affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. Subject to the foregoing, the User Terms will bind and enure to the benefit of you and us, as well as your Reporting Entity (if you are a Reporting Entity User) or your MMP Entity (if you are an MMP User), together with our respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.
Governing Law
The User Terms (including the Privacy Policy), and any disputes arising out of or related to the User Terms, will be governed exclusively by the laws of the Province of Manitoba, Canada as well as the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. The courts of the Province of Manitoba will have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any dispute arising out of or relating to the User Terms or their formation, interpretation or enforcement. We and you (as well as your Reporting Entity [if you are a Reporting Entity User] or your MMP Entity [if you are an MMP User]) hereby consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any injunctive or other equitable relief can be sought by you or us in any court of competent jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Agreements for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these User Terms in any manner whatsoever.
Entire Agreement
The User Terms, including the Privacy Policy and any other terms incorporated by reference into the User Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and us (and between your Reporting Entity [if you are a Reporting Entity User] or your MMP Entity [if you are an MMP User] and us) and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. In the event and to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions in these User Terms and any other documents or pages referenced in these User Terms, the terms of these User Terms will first prevail; provided, however, that if there is a conflict or inconsistency between an Agreement (or other separately negotiated agreement with Emerge Knowledge) and the User Terms, the terms of that Agreement will first prevail, followed by the provisions in these User Terms, and then followed by the pages referenced in these User Terms (e.g. the Privacy Policy). Customers are responsible for notifying their Users and Reporting Entities of those conflicts or inconsistencies and until such time the terms set forth herein will be binding.
Language
We and you (as well as your Reporting Entity [if you are a Reporting Entity User] or your MMP Entity [if you are an MMP User]) acknowledge and agree that it is required that all of the documents that form part of the User Terms be prepared in the English language.
