We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of use of these other websites or services.

You may link to our Services provided that you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage the reputation of THCSPC, RBI or the TIM HORTONS® brand, or take advantage of it.

We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission without notice.

12. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

Except where prohibited by applicable law, the following terms apply to all legal disputes between you and THCSPC.

Except where prohibited by applicable law, by using the Services, you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of other states, provinces, countries, territories, or jurisdictions.

Except where prohibited by applicable law, with respect to any and all disputes arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms (including without limitation the Privacy Policy), THCSPC and you agree to negotiate in good faith to achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution. If you and THCSPC do not resolve any dispute by informal negotiation, any other effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration as described in this section. You are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) all disputes in court before a judge or jury. Instead, all disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator's award.

EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER YOU NOR THCSPC WILL SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.

Except where prohibited by applicable law, all disputes arising under these Terms that cannot be settled through informal negotiation will be settled exclusively through confidential binding arbitration in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction. You agree that THCSPC may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in New York, necessary to protect its rights or property pending the completion of arbitration.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you permanently and irrevocably waive the right to bring any Claim in any forum unless you provide THCSPC with written notice of the event or facts giving rise to the Claim within one (1) year of their occurrence.
