Terms & Conditions
Introduction:
Ontario Without Barriers (“the website”) provides reliable, sourced information focused on basic resource navigation. While the information offered is intended to assist individuals in finding relevant resources and solutions, it is not meant to replace personalized one-on-one social work, case management, or occupational therapy expertise. For individualized support and tailored advice, professional consultation will be necessary.
General Website Usage:
By using this website, you agree to use it for lawful purposes only. You are responsible for ensuring that your use complies with all applicable laws and regulations. The content on the website, including text, graphics, videos, e-learning materials, e-books, toolkits, course content, logos, and all other media, is the intellectual property of Ontario Without Barriers and may not be used, reproduced, distributed, or modified without explicit written permission.

Ontario Without Barriers may offer free resources on the website, including select courses, reference sheets, guides, videos, and other informational materials. These free materials are provided for general educational and informational purposes only. They are intended to offer an overview of disability-related resources and funding programs and do not constitute legal, medical, financial, clinical, or professional advice.

Shop Products: Paid Digital Courses, E-Books, Toolkits, and Downloads:
All products available for purchase in the Shop section of the website — including but not limited to e-books, digital toolkits, paid courses, modules, video trainings, templates, and downloadable resources — are digital products provided for educational and informational purposes only. These materials provide general guidance and are not a substitute for professional, legal, medical, clinical, or financial advice.

They do not constitute legal, medical, financial, clinical, or professional advice.
​
All event registrations and ticket purchases are final sale and non-refundable. Due to limited seating, scheduling commitments, and the nature of digital event access, refunds, exchanges, or cancellations are not permitted once a ticket has been purchased. If a participant is unable to attend a scheduled event, the purchase remains non-refundable.
​
If Ontario Without Barriers cancels an event, registered participants will be offered a full refund for the ticket purchase. Ontario Without Barriers reserves the right to reschedule or modify event details if necessary.
​
