These Terms apply to your access to, and use of, all or part of any website or mobile application of our Corporation or its subsidiaries and affiliated companies.

In the event there is any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and any other terms of use that appear on the Sites, these Terms will govern. However, if you navigate away from the Sites to a third-party site, you may be subject to alternative terms and conditions of use, as may be specified on such site, which will govern your use of that site.
