Welcome to Funblers. These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of funblers.com and all content, features, and services offered on it (together, the “Site”). Please read them carefully. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
Funblers (“Funblers,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an entertainment, culture and lifestyle blog based in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use the Site.
1. Acceptance of these Terms
By visiting, browsing, or otherwise using the Site — including reading articles, leaving comments, or subscribing to any newsletter — you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Funblers.
2. Eligibility
The Site is intended for a general, adult audience. By using the Site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your province, state, or country of residence, or that you are using the Site under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. If you are using the Site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
3. Changes to the Terms and the Site
We may update or modify these Terms at any time to reflect changes in our practices, our content, or the law. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Changes are effective when posted. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms, so we encourage you to review this page periodically. We may also change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice.
4. Use of the Site (licence and restrictions)
Subject to these Terms, Funblers grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Site for your own personal, non-commercial use. This licence does not include any right to:
- Resell, republish, or commercially exploit any part of the Site or its content;
- Copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content except as expressly permitted in these Terms;
- Use any automated means (such as bots, scrapers, or crawlers) to access, harvest, or copy content without our prior written consent;
- Frame, mirror, or otherwise incorporate any part of the Site into another website without permission; or
- Use the Site or its content to train, develop, or improve any machine learning or artificial intelligence system without our prior written consent.
5. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, all content on the Site — including articles, text, graphics, logos, images, page layouts, and the “Funblers” name and branding — is owned by or licensed to Funblers and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws in Canada and other countries.
You may share links to our articles and quote short excerpts for the purposes of commentary, criticism, or news reporting, provided you give clear attribution to Funblers and link back to the original page. Any other use — including republishing full articles or using our images without permission — requires our prior written consent. Some images and embedded media on the Site are the property of third parties and are used under licence or applicable rights; those materials remain the property of their respective owners.
6. User comments and submissions
The Site may allow you to post comments, feedback, story tips, or other materials (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content, but by submitting it you grant Funblers a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and transferable licence to use, reproduce, display, adapt, publish, and distribute that content in connection with operating and promoting the Site.
You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content and that it does not violate these Terms or any law or third-party right. We do not endorse and are not responsible for any User Content, and we reserve the right — but assume no obligation — to review, moderate, edit, or remove any User Content at our discretion, including comments that we consider spam, abusive, unlawful, or otherwise inappropriate.
7. Acceptable use
When using the Site, you agree not to:
- Violate any applicable law or regulation, or infringe the rights of others;
- Post or transmit content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;
- Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;
- Upload or distribute viruses, malware, or any other harmful code;
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or any connected systems or networks;
- Interfere with or disrupt the Site’s operation, security, or performance; or
- Collect or harvest personal information about other users without their consent.
8. Third-party links and content
The Site frequently links to, or embeds content from, third-party websites and services — such as videos, social media posts, images, and streaming previews. These links and embeds are provided for convenience and editorial context only. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party site or service, and inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement. Accessing third-party content is at your own risk and subject to the terms and policies of those third parties.
9. Advertising and sponsored content
The Site may display advertising and may, from time to time, publish sponsored, affiliate, or partnership content. Where content is sponsored or contains affiliate links, we aim to disclose this in accordance with applicable advertising standards. Any dealings you have with advertisers or third parties found on or through the Site — including the payment for and delivery of goods or services — are solely between you and that third party. Funblers is not responsible for any loss or damage arising from such dealings.
10. No professional advice; accuracy of content
Funblers publishes entertainment, culture, and lifestyle content for general informational and entertainment purposes only. Our articles — including any coverage of health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, financial, or legal topics — are not a substitute for professional advice. You should always consult a qualified professional (such as a physician, financial adviser, or lawyer) before making decisions based on anything you read on the Site.
We work to ensure our content is accurate and up to date, and to distinguish confirmed reporting from rumour or speculation. However, entertainment news changes quickly, and we do not warrant that all content is complete, current, or error-free. Opinions expressed are those of the respective authors and do not necessarily reflect any official position.
11. Disclaimers
The Site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Funblers disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors, viruses, or other harmful components, or that any defects will be corrected. Your use of the Site is at your own risk.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Funblers or its founders, contributors, employees, or partners be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses — arising out of or relating to your access to or use of (or inability to use) the Site, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the extent any liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Site and these Terms will not exceed one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100.00). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you; in that case, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Funblers and its founders, contributors, employees, and partners from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Site, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.
14. Privacy
Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your information. By using the Site, you consent to the practices described in that policy.
15. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice, for any reason — including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, the licence granted to you in Section 4 ends immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — will continue to apply.
16. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree that the courts located in Ontario, Canada, will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section limits any mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have under the laws of your place of residence.
17. General provisions
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Funblers regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent, but we may assign them freely. Section headings are for convenience only.
