1. About us

This website is operated by The Black Girl Health Bank Inc., carrying on business as The Black Girl Health Bank (“BGHB”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

These Terms govern your use of our website and its content.
 

Website: www.thebghb.com
Email: hello@thebghb.com
 

2. Your rights

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived under Ontario consumer protection legislation or other applicable law.

If any provision conflicts with a mandatory legal requirement, that requirement takes priority.
 

3. Using our website

You agree to use our website lawfully and provide accurate information when submitting forms or creating an account.
 

You must not:

• Access another person’s account without permission.

• Interfere with the website’s security or operation.

• Submit fraudulent or misleading information.

• Use the website to harass others or distribute unlawful content.

• Copy or commercially exploit protected materials without permission, except as permitted by law.
   

If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your login details secure. Please contact us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
 

4. Health information and educational content

Our articles, resources and other educational content provide general health information. They do not constitute individual medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and accessing them does not establish a healthcare provider–patient relationship.

Consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional about your individual circumstances. Do not delay seeking care or change prescribed treatment solely because of information provided through BGHB.

We aim to communicate evidence accurately, but health information may change as research develops. We do not guarantee a particular health, fitness or wellbeing outcome.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number.
 

5. Classes, events and ticket purchases

Class and event bookings are governed by the specific terms provided on the ticket sale platform used for that booking.

Details such as participation requirements, waivers, cancellation and refund policies, ticket transfers, accessibility information and other conditions may differ for each class or event. Please review the relevant event listing and all associated terms before completing your purchase.

These event-specific terms will be made available before purchase. Any required participation waiver will be provided for review before you agree to it.
 

The ticket sale platform may also have its own terms of service and privacy policy. Its involvement does not remove BGHB’s obligations as the supplier of services sold by us.

If there is a conflict between these general website Terms and the specific booking terms, the specific booking terms govern that booking, subject to applicable law. Neither set of terms overrides your statutory rights.
 

6. Third-party websites and services

Our website may contain links to or embedded features from third-party services, including ticketing platforms, payment providers and external educational resources.

Those providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control external website content, and a link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement.

We remain responsible for our own obligations.
 

7. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect personal information submitted through our website.

Accepting these Terms does not, by itself, constitute consent to promotional communications or optional uses of your personal information.
 

8. Email communications

You may choose to subscribe to receive news, educational content and updates from BGHB.

We will send promotional communications only where permitted by applicable law. You may unsubscribe using the link provided in our emails.

Unsubscribing from promotional messages does not prevent us from sending necessary administrative communications relating to an existing booking or request.
 

9. Intellectual property

Our original website content, branding, graphics and educational materials belong to BGHB or their respective rights holders.

You may access our content for personal, non-commercial use. Unless permitted by law or expressly authorized, you must not reproduce, modify, sell or redistribute protected materials.

Third-party names, trademarks and materials remain the property of their respective owners.
 

10. Website availability and accuracy

We take reasonable steps to keep our website accurate and accessible. However, access may occasionally be interrupted by maintenance or technical issues, and content may contain errors or become outdated.

We may correct or update website content when necessary. Changes to website content do not, by themselves, alter the terms of an existing purchase.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or removes remedies available under applicable law.
 

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms and will display the revised effective date on this page.

Updates apply prospectively. They will not retrospectively change a confirmed purchase without your agreement or another lawful basis.

Where applicable law requires notice or consent for a change, we will provide that notice or obtain that consent.
 

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario, subject to any mandatory protections available to you under other applicable laws.

If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
