Users are responsible for evaluating vendors and making their own purchasing decisions.

9. Third-Party Business Relationships

SoftwareVendors.ca generally acts as an independent directory and advertising platform.

Any quotation, purchase, subscription, licensing agreement, consulting arrangement, software implementation, or other commercial transaction between a visitor and a listed vendor is ordinarily a separate arrangement between those parties.
