Frequently asked questions

What services are covered under the North Star Canada terms?

Our terms describe the general relationship for website visitors and clients. The services available to a client, their scope, pricing, response terms, and responsibilities are set out in the applicable agreement or statement of work. The website does not promise maximum uptime or a particular helpdesk coverage level.

Are there specific legal requirements for clients in Alberta or Yukon?

North Star aims to comply with applicable laws and regulations, but this website is not legal advice and no page can guarantee compliance. The client and North Star should confirm requirements, responsibilities, data locations, and controls for each engagement in the applicable agreement, with legal advice obtained where needed.

How does North Star manage liability for data loss?

North Star may scope backup and disaster recovery, endpoint, email, monitoring, and awareness work where included in an agreement. These controls reduce risk but cannot prevent all data loss or security incidents. Liability, exclusions, recovery expectations, and responsibilities are governed by the applicable agreement.

What is the process for modifying this IT service agreement?

Changes to an agreement are handled according to that agreement. Website updates are described by the last-updated date, but continued site use does not by itself amend a signed client agreement.
