Agreement to our legal terms
We are Marc Bedard (“we,” “us,” “our“), operating from 4338 Innes Road, Suite #173, Orleans, Ontario K4A 3W3, Canada.
We operate the website https://marcbedard.ca (the “Site“), along with related content, services, and products offered through it, including blog content, consulting/coaching services, the free newsletter, and the CAGED guitar app (collectively, the “Services“).
You can contact us by email at admin@marcbedard.ca, or by mail at the address above.
These Terms and Conditions (“Legal Terms“) are a binding agreement between you and Marc Bedard governing your access to and use of the Services. By using the Services, you agree to these Legal Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Services immediately.
We’ll provide notice of any material changes to these Legal Terms, either by posting on the Site or emailing you at the address you’ve provided. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old.

If you’re accessing the Services from outside Canada, you’re responsible for compliance with your local laws.
2. Intellectual property rights
Our content. We own or license the content on this Site — including blog posts, audio, images, graphics, site design, and the marcbedard.ca name and logo (collectively, the “Content” and “Marks”). This Content is protected by copyright and trademark law.

4. Blog comments
Comments are enabled on this Site. When you leave a comment, please see our Privacy Policy for how that information is handled. By posting a comment, you represent that it is your own original content (or you have the right to post it), that it doesn’t infringe anyone else’s rights, and that it isn’t false, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or otherwise unlawful.
You retain ownership of your comments, but by posting you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and moderate that content in connection with operating the Site. We may edit, remove, or decline to publish any comment at our discretion, without notice.
5. Purchases and payment
We offer the CAGED guitar app and, on occasion, affiliate marketing / consulting services, for purchase. Checkout for any paid product or service is handled by a third-party payment processor (such as Stripe, PayPal, or an app store, depending on the product) — we do not collect or store your full payment card details on this Site. Your use of those third-party checkout services is also subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
Prices are listed at the time of purchase and may change without notice; the price you’re charged is the price shown at checkout.
CAGED app: All CAGED app purchases are final and non-refundable. If you cancel a subscription, you’ll retain access for the remainder of the period you’ve already paid for, and it won’t renew afterward.

6. Software
The CAGED app and any other software offered through the Services may come with its own end-user license agreement (EULA) or app-store terms, which will govern your use of that software. Where no separate EULA applies, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the software for its intended purpose, provided “as is” without warranty.

- Scrape, systematically extract, or compile Site content without our written permission;

- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or copy any software provided through the Services;
- Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in a way that violates applicable law.
8. Third-party websites and content
The Site may link to third-party websites or contain third-party content (for example, embedded YouTube videos or links to other resources). We don’t control, monitor, or endorse this third-party content, and we’re not responsible for its accuracy, legality, or privacy practices. If you follow a link off this Site, you do so at your own risk and should review that site’s own terms and privacy policy.
9. Site management
We may monitor the Services for violations of these Legal Terms, remove or restrict content (including comments) that we believe is harmful or non-compliant, and take other reasonable steps to protect the Site and its users.
10. Privacy
Please review our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Legal Terms by reference. The Services are hosted in the United States; if you’re accessing the Site from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US as part of that hosting arrangement, in addition to being subject to our Privacy Policy.
11. Term and termination
These Legal Terms remain in effect while you use the Services. We reserve the right to restrict or deny access to the Services (including blocking specific users or IP addresses) at our discretion, including for violations of these Legal Terms or applicable law.
12. Modifications and interruptions
We may change, update, or remove content on the Services at any time without notice, and we can’t guarantee the Services will always be available (e.g., due to maintenance or technical issues). We’re not liable for any inconvenience or loss resulting from such changes or interruptions.
13. Governing law
These Legal Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
14. Dispute resolution
If a dispute arises, we ask that you first contact us at admin@marcbedard.ca so we can try to resolve it informally. If we can’t resolve a dispute informally within 30 days, either party may bring the matter before the courts of the Province of Ontario, which will have exclusive jurisdiction.
15. Corrections
The Services may contain typographical errors or inaccuracies (including in descriptions or pricing). We reserve the right to correct these at any time without prior notice.
16. Disclaimer
The Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We don’t guarantee the accuracy or completeness of Site content and aren’t liable for errors, interruptions, unauthorized access to our servers, or content posted by third parties.
17. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Services. Where liability can’t be fully excluded under applicable law, our total liability to you will be limited to the amount you paid us, if any, in the three months before the claim arose.
18. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Services, your comments or contributions, or your violation of these Legal Terms or applicable law.
19. User data
We maintain data you provide through the Services for the purpose of operating and improving them. While we take reasonable steps to back up data, you’re responsible for any data you transmit, and we’re not liable for loss or corruption of that data.
20. Electronic communications
By using the Services, contacting us by email, or submitting an online form, you consent to receive communications from us electronically and agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
21. Miscellaneous
These Legal Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, make up the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision isn’t a waiver of our right to do so later. No partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created between you and us by virtue of these terms.
