1. Overview

This agreement is the “Master Hosting Terms” governing use of one or more Rooms (as defined below) on the Sentr3 platform, and governing the related services provided by the developer of the Sentr3 platform. 

2. Rooms

The Sentr3 services are offered by 12948231 Canada Inc. (“Developer”), a Quebec-based corporation that is the creator of Sentr3.

3. Hosting

Your Room(s) shall be hosted on Sentr3.com (and other platforms as available), but shall remain Your responsibility, and that of the users who use Your Room.

You agree to pay the Applicable Fees (if any), and to do so promptly. To accommodate a wide variety of payment methods, Developer may change payment options (at any time), and may establish policies regarding non-payment and the consequences of it, such as suspension or termination of services.
