Terms of Use Agreement

The City of Toronto (the "City") maintains this online payment system for fines levied under the Ontario Provincial Offences Act payable to the Ontario Court of Justice, Toronto Court Services.

1. ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENT
You agree to the terms and conditions outlined in this Terms of Use Agreement ("Agreement") with respect to the Site. This Agreement constitutes the entire and only Agreement between the City and you for use of the Site, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties and understandings with respect to the Site, the content and services provided by or through the Site. You agree to review the Agreement prior to using or gaining further access to the Site. The City may amend the Agreement from time to time without specific advance notice to you. The latest Agreement will be posted on the Site, and you should review the Agreement prior to using the Site. The City may immediately terminate the use of the Site by any user if that user has used the Site in any way contrary to the Agreement or the law or in any way that disrupts the Site. If you are dissatisfied with the terms, conditions, rules, policies, guidelines or practices of the Site, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using it.

2. Copyright
All materials displayed or otherwise accessible through the Site, including without limitation, text, logos, graphics, photographs, images, and illustrations (collectively, the "Content") are protected under applicable Canadian and foreign copyright, trademark and other proprietary and intellectual property laws or other laws. You acknowledge that the Content is the property of the City or of its respective owners, as indicated, or as the case may be. In addition, the Site is protected under copyright law as a collective work and/or compilation pursuant to Canadian and foreign laws. The copying, redistribution, use or publication by you of any such Content or any part of the Site, except as allowed by Section 3, is strictly prohibited. You do not acquire ownership rights to any content or document obtained through the Site. You shall abide by all additional copyright notices, information and restrictions on or contained in any of the Content to which access is gained through the Site.

3. Limited Right to Use
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are hereby granted the right to access, view and use the Site for your personal, non-commercial use, and are granted the right to download, store, and print single copies of items comprising the Content for your personal, non-commercial use, provided that you maintain all copyright and other notices contained in such Content.

4. Online Payment
Your receipt of an electronic form or other form of confirmation of payment does not signify the City's receipt of acceptance of your payment. Your payment shall be deemed to constitute an offer to pay which will be accepted by the City only upon successful payment by VISA, MasterCard or American Express.

In the event of a delay in or failure of performance under this Agreement by the City which arises by reason of force majeure, including without restriction an act of God, an act of any government or any governmental body, an act of war or terrorism, the elements, a strike, a lockout or a labour dispute, or any cause beyond the reasonable control of the City, the City shall not be responsible, and the City shall use best efforts to mitigate the effect of such force majeure, but nothing in this clause shall require the City to settle a labour dispute in order to render performance.

You hereby waive and release the City from any and all claims for damages or compensation arising from such delay or failure of performance.

You acknowledge that it may take three (3) business days to process your payment and update the court record and, if applicable, five (5) business days to update Ministry of Transportation records. If your driver's license is suspended or your vehicle plate renewal has been denied, there will be a delay (i.e. a minimum of five business days) in removing these restrictions. Contact your local Ministry of Transportation Office to reinstate your driver's license. For greater clarity, a business day is a day when the City, banks and the Ministry of the Attorney General are open for business.

You further acknowledge that if you are paying a fine in respect to multiple counts on an information laid under Part III of the Ontario Provincial Offences Act, the payment cannot be directed to a specific count. In that situation, you may only make a payment on a specific count through other available payment mechanisms as described here.
