Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions govern use of The Oshawa Markets website, including vendor profiles, events, promotions, applications, community voting, advertising information, directories and other website features. By using the website, you agree to use it lawfully and in accordance with these Terms.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable Ontario or Canadian law.

We make reasonable efforts to keep website information current, but market hours, access information, parking information, vendor participation, booth locations, services, event schedules, website features and other operational details may change. Visitors should check current information before making a special trip where timing or availability is important.

Many businesses operating inside The Oshawa Markets are independent vendors. Unless expressly stated otherwise, products and services sold by an independent vendor are offered by that vendor, not by The Oshawa Markets. Vendors are responsible for their own products, pricing, representations, transactions, warranties, returns, taxes, licences and legal obligations.

A vendor profile or listing on this website is not an endorsement, guarantee or certification of that vendor or every product the vendor may offer.

Vendor inventory, menus, pricing, hours, booth locations, social links and product availability can change without immediate website notice. A product or menu item shown online is not a guarantee that it will be in stock when you visit. Customers should confirm time-sensitive or important details directly with the vendor where appropriate.

Food Court menus, ingredients, prices and availability may change. Unless expressly provided by The Oshawa Markets itself, food is prepared and sold by independent food vendors. Anyone with an allergy, intolerance or dietary requirement should speak directly with the food vendor before ordering. Website menu descriptions are not a substitute for direct allergen confirmation.

Events, performers, entertainers, Santa appearances, signings, attractions, demonstrations, giveaways and other scheduled activities may be changed, delayed, shortened, relocated, substituted or cancelled because of illness, weather, safety concerns, emergencies, availability, operational issues or circumstances outside reasonable control.

An advertised appearance does not guarantee that a specific person or attraction will be present at every moment of an event window. We will make reasonable efforts to update material changes when practical, but visitors should check current event information before travelling specifically for an appearance.

Promotions may be subject to stated dates, quantities, eligibility rules, participating vendors, exclusions and other conditions. Promotional inventory may be limited. Website pricing or promotional information may contain errors and may be corrected where legally permitted. A promotion cannot be used to override applicable consumer-protection rights.

Independent vendors may run their own promotions and are responsible for the terms and fulfilment of those offers unless The Oshawa Markets expressly states that it is the offer provider.

Community likes and menu-item votes are interactive engagement features. Attempts to manipulate rankings through bots, scripts, repeated device resets, automated requests, fake identities, coordinated abuse or circumvention of anti-cheat measures are prohibited.

The Oshawa Markets may reject, remove, invalidate or recalculate suspicious engagement when reasonably necessary to protect the integrity of the system. Rankings reflect website engagement and are not a professional review, safety certification or guarantee of quality.

Submitting an application or request does not guarantee acceptance, booth availability, a performance date, advertising placement, sponsorship, collaboration or response within a specific period. Applicants must provide accurate information and have authority to submit information on behalf of any named business or organization.

The Oshawa Markets may decline opportunities that are unsuitable, unavailable, unlawful, misleading, unsafe, inconsistent with Markets operations or otherwise not a fit.

Advertising placements may be subject to separate agreements, availability, content standards and approval. The Oshawa Markets may reject or remove advertising that is deceptive, unlawful, unsafe, infringing, technically harmful or inconsistent with applicable standards. Advertisers remain responsible for the accuracy and legality of their claims and offers.

The website may link to vendor stores, social-media platforms, maps, booking systems, payment services and other third-party websites. Those services are operated under their own terms, privacy policies and security practices. The Oshawa Markets is not responsible for the availability or operation of third-party websites merely because a link appears here.

You may not misuse the website, interfere with security controls, attack forms or APIs, upload malicious content, impersonate another person or business, scrape the website at an unreasonable or harmful rate, bypass rate limits, attempt unauthorized access, manipulate votes, or use the website for unlawful, fraudulent or abusive activity.

The Oshawa Markets name, branding, website design, original text, graphics and other content owned by or licensed to The Oshawa Markets are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Vendor logos, images and third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners. Permission to browse the website does not grant a right to copy, republish or commercially exploit protected material.

Images and videos shown on the website may depict public Markets areas, vendors, events, performers or promotional material supplied by third parties. If you believe content infringes your rights or raises a legitimate privacy concern, contact us with enough information to identify the material.

We may maintain, update, suspend or change website features without notice. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation or permanent availability of every feature, post, vendor profile, ranking, archive or third-party integration.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its informational content are provided on an “as available” basis. The Oshawa Markets is not responsible for losses caused solely by reliance on outdated third-party vendor information, third-party website failures, unavoidable event changes or interruptions outside our reasonable control.

This clause does not exclude liability or legal rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

These Terms are governed by the applicable laws of Ontario and Canada, without limiting any mandatory rights that may apply to a user under other applicable legislation.

We may update these Terms as the website, Markets operations or applicable requirements change. The current version and Last Updated date will be posted on this page. Continued use of the website after an update is subject to the current published Terms.
