IVONNE's Search Engine Policy outlines the terms for search engines to access and index their website content. It requires compliance with directives like robots.txt, ensures proper content attribution, and prohibits misrepresentation. The policy emphasizes adherence to Canadian laws and user privacy. Non-compliance may lead to legal action or restricted access to the site.
This Search Engine Policy (""Policy"") delineates the terms under which search engines may access, index, and display content from IVONNE, Inc. (""IVONNE"")'s primary website, located at https://www.ivonne.ca. This Policy also extends to all variations of the ""ivonne.ca"" domain, encompassing both secure (HTTPS) and non-secure (HTTP) sites, as well as any related subdomains, pages, or subpages. By accessing or indexing content from any part of our website, search engines hereby agree to strictly adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in this Policy.
By continuing to index our website, supply our content in search results, or disseminate our content across your network or platforms, you hereby acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Policy. Failure to comply with these terms may result in actions deemed appropriate by IVONNE®, including, but not limited to, legal proceedings or blocking access to our website.
Knowledge or awareness of any breach of the terms set out in this Policy by any search engine, indexer, or platform does not constitute a waiver of IVONNE's rights pertaining to such a breach. The failure of IVONNE to enforce any right or provision in this Policy shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision in any past or future instances.
All search engines must adhere to the directives provided in our configuration files. Any non-compliance with these directives is a breach of this Policy.
Search engines must respect and handle with care specific metadata and configuration files present on our website, such as .htaccess, .robots.txt, and other similar files. These files play vital roles in the structure, security, and functionality of our website:
a) Access Restrictions: Search engines should not attempt to bypass or ignore any access restrictions specified in these files. This includes directives in .htaccess that might restrict access to certain directories or files.
b) Indexing Directives: Directives specified in .robots.txt regarding which parts of the site to index or not index must be strictly adhered to. Any indexing done in violation of these directives is a breach of this Policy.
c) No Public Display: Under no circumstances should search engines display, cache, or make public any part of these metadata or configuration files. They are intended for server and search engine directives, not for public viewing.
Search engines shall not misrepresent or alter the content from our website in any way that could mislead users or present the content in a manner not intended by IVONNE®.
When displaying content from our website, search engines must clearly attribute the content to IVONNE and provide a direct link to the source page on our website.
Search engines must not cache or store any sensitive or private information from our website, including but not limited to, personal user data, financial information, or any other confidential information without the express consent of IVONNE or its user(s).
Search engines should ensure that the ranking of our website's content is done fairly and without discrimination, bias, or any practice that may harm the reputation or visibility of IVONNE.
Any data collected by search engines from our website, including user behavior and interactions, should be used in a manner that respects user privacy and complies with relevant Canadian privacy laws.
IVONNE's website, denoted by its "".ca"" domain extension, is explicitly designed and tailored for a Canadian audience. The products, treatments, technologies, and methods by which we collect, process, and manage data are governed foremost by Canadian law. While the site may be accessible globally due to the inherent nature of the internet, the content, services, and information are predominantly relevant to Canadian residents. As such, our practices, offers, and data handling are in strict accordance with Canadian regulations and standards.
We hereby emphasize that accessing our website or services from locations outside of Canada is done at the search engine, indexer, and user's own risk. IVONNE cannot and will not bear any liabilities, repercussions, or responsibilities for any discrepancies, misunderstandings, or conflicts arising from extra-Canadian access, especially where the local laws or regulations might differ from those of Canada.
IVONNE disclaims any responsibility or liability for search engines or indexers that may operate in conflict with, in contravention to, or in adherence to any country or region's laws, regulations, or guidelines. Search engines and indexers are solely responsible for ensuring their own compliance with regional and international laws. Any conflicts, penalties, sanctions, or negative repercussions faced by a search engine or indexer due to their operations in a specific region or in relation to IVONNE's website are entirely the responsibility of said search engine or indexer. IVONNE will not be held accountable or liable for such conflicts or their outcomes.
It is the inherent responsibility of search engines and indexers to deliver content in search results that align with the user's current phase and intent in their search journey. IVONNE designs and structures its website content to cater to various stages of the user's search and decision-making process. However, we accept no liability or responsibility for the actions of search engines or indexers that may present late-phase content to users who are in the early stages of searching, or vice versa. Search engines and indexers must ensure that their algorithms and processes accurately interpret and match our content with the relevant user intent, and any discrepancies or mismatches are solely the responsibility of the search engine or indexer.
Search engines and indexers often offer advertising solutions and initiatives aimed at enhancing online visibility and engagement. If any policies or terms associated with our website disqualify IVONNE from participating in or benefiting from such advertising solutions, search engines and indexers must not approach or attempt to sell us these advertising solutions. Furthermore, search engines and indexers agree to refrain from recommending or selling us advertising solutions that contravene their own policies or those where their policies inherently prevent IVONNE from realizing tangible benefits. It is the responsibility of the search engine or indexer to ensure that any advertising solution proposed is in alignment with all relevant policies and genuinely serves the interests of IVONNE.
IVONNE employs services such as Google Search Console and Google Analytics to monitor, analyze, and optimize our website's performance and user experience. However, our utilization of these tools and any data derived from them does not imply a waiver or surrender of any rights as outlined in this Policy or any other rights we possess. Furthermore, we reserve the right to utilize any publicly available services or tools provided by search engines or indexers to understand and analyze how they collect, disseminate, or interact with information related to our business. Our engagement with these tools is aligned with our continuous commitment to understanding our digital presence and ensuring the privacy and integrity of our data.
All content, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, videos, digital downloads, data compilations, and software present on IVONNE's website, is the exclusive property of IVONNE or its content suppliers. This content is safeguarded by Canadian and international copyright laws. Unauthorized use, reproduction, distribution, or modification of this content, including the act of ""hotlinking"" or directly linking to our content from another website without express written permission from IVONNE, is strictly prohibited.
Search engines and indexers must ensure that they do not serve pages from third-party sites that unlawfully embed or hotlink to our content, be it text, images, or video. Any attempt to do so will be viewed as a direct violation of our intellectual property rights. In cases where such unauthorized use is detected, IVONNE reserves the right to take necessary action, but the burden of addressing such violations should not fall upon IVONNE through mechanisms like the DMCA or its international equivalents. Instead, search engines and indexers are expected to proactively police and prevent such behaviors.
By accessing or indexing our website, search engines acknowledge the sanctity of these intellectual property rights. Any search engine or platform that disseminates or displays our content assumes full responsibility for ensuring it respects these rights, and any breach will be treated with the utmost seriousness.
