Terms of Conditions



Terms and Conditions

This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Workers' Compensation Board of British Columbia (WCB) Internet applications (hereinafter called the "service"). If you proceed to use this service, you are indicating your acceptance of this Agreement. The WCB will consider any use of the service an act of part performance that binds you to the Agreement.

Terms of Use

Any unauthorized attempt to access or modify computer system information or interfere with normal systems operations, whether on WCB computer systems or networks that are accessible from the WCB, may result in measures being undertaken by the WCB to suspend or terminate your access including possible legal action being taken.

Information sent to the WCB will only have legal effect after it has been submitted and properly received, and is accessible to the WCB.

If you receive information from the WCB through this service and suspect that it is incomplete, inaccurate, corrupted in transmission, or not intended for you, you must notify the WCB and request clarification. The information must not be relied upon until clarification is received from the WCB.

If you are notified that information that you sent to the WCB is incomplete, inaccurate, or corrupted, you must take corrective action as may be reasonably required in the circumstances.

Limitation of Liability

The WCB reserves the right to disable the service as required, for the purposes of routine maintenance, or as an emergency termination of electronic computer connections to protect resources from illegal access or other damage. In the case of an unanticipated service failure the WCB will make best attempts to restore the service to normal operating conditions as quickly as possible. Temporary disruption of the service will not constitute termination of the Agreement or relieve you from your general obligations to report to the WCB.

The user of this service acknowledges that information provided by the user to WCB and by WCB to the user through this service is subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act of BC ("FIPPA"). Consequently, the parties will treat all information received or accessed under this agreement as confidential and will not disclose it in any manner except as may be required or authorized under FIPPA. The user recognizes that WCB may be required to release information received from the user pursuant to FIPPA and agrees that if such disclosure may cause any harm to the user, the user will provide details of that harm to WCB in accordance with s. 21 of FIPPA.

The WCB accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage of any kind that the user of this service may suffer as a result of its use. By using this service, the user specifically accepts all legal and general liability for any loss that may arise from such use.
