Being listed, featured, mentioned or linked on North Collective does not necessarily mean that North Collective endorses, sponsors or recommends the designer, brand, person, venue, organization, event or service.

Likewise, inclusion in a directory or editorial article does not create a partnership, agency, employment, sponsorship or other business relationship unless expressly stated.

North Collective will make reasonable efforts to avoid materially misleading representations about relationships or affiliations. Canadian competition law prohibits materially false or misleading representations in promoting a business interest.
