4. Acceptable Use and Digital Citizenship

The techstudy.ca platform is an extension of the Am-Can Business & Tech Institute physical classroom. Users are expected to conduct themselves with the same level of respect and professionalism online as they would at our Vaughan campus. When using the Platform, you agree not to:

• Interfere with or disrupt the operation of the Platform or the servers hosting it.

• Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or any other harmful code.

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other user accounts, grading systems, or administrative features.

• Use the platform for any illegal purpose or in violation of any local, provincial, or federal laws.

5. Service Availability and e-LMS Access

As a continuous intake, asynchronous learning provider, we strive to ensure the techstudy.ca platform is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access.

• The Platform may be temporarily unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, system upgrades, or unforeseen technical difficulties.

• Am-Can Business & Tech Institute will make reasonable efforts to notify users in advance of any planned, extended downtime.

• We are not liable for any delays in coursework submission resulting from system outages, though instructors will provide appropriate academic accommodations in the event of documented platform failure.

Am-Can Business & Tech Institute reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your access to the Platform, without prior notice, if you breach these Terms of Use, the Student Code of Conduct, or the Academic Integrity Policy.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Am-Can Business & Tech Institute, its directors, employees, and instructors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from your use of, or inability to use, the Platform or any content provided therein.

8. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms of Use at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the master policy page. Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
