Welcome to the Shell Canada web site. This web site is owned and operated by Shell Canada Limited ("Shell"), a federally incorporated Canadian company with registration number 350797-1 and registered office at Shell Centre, 400 - 4th Avenue S.W., Calgary, AB, T2P 0J4.  Visitors to this website are bound by the following terms and conditions, so please read them carefully before going on.  “This website” means the Shell Canada Limited website only (www.shell.ca), which links to other Shell company websites.

The information at this site applies to Canada only and may not apply for other locations.  Products of Shell and its affiliates advertised on this site may not be available outside of Canada or in all regions of Canada.  Products are available according to local laws.  All products are subject to the terms of applicable agreements.  A reference to the price of a product does not mean it is an offer to sell.  All products and prices may change without notice.  All prices are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.  These terms and conditions are to be read with all other terms and conditions or disclaimers in this website.

If you are accessing this site from outside Canada, you do so at your own risk and you are responsible for all applicable laws.  You will not use, export, or re-export the information on this website (or any copy or change to it) that violates any applicable law or regulation.

This website may include links to external websites.  When you click on these links, the external website may appear as a full screen.  If an external website appears in the frame of this website, this is purely for moving back to this website and does not mean we are responsible for that external website, even if that other website is owned and operated by another Shell company.  These links are only to help you find relevant websites, services and/or products that may interest you.  It is your responsibility to decide whether these meet your purposes.   Shell is not responsible for the owners and operators of those websites or for any goods or services they supply or for the content of their website.  Shell does not give or enter into any conditions, warranties, or other terms or representations, or accept any liability in relation to any of those websites (including any liability arising from any claim that the content of any external website to which this website includes a link infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party).

All information or advice in this website is general in nature and you should not rely on it for making decisions. Shell tries to ensure that the information is correct at the time of inclusion, but we do not guarantee the accuracy of this information.  Shell is not liable for any action you take by relying on this information or advice or for any loss or damage you suffer by taking that action, including without limitation, any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages.

This website may contain “forward-looking statements” based upon management’s assessment of Shell’s future plans and operations.  Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “forecast”, “target”, “project” or similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook.

The forward-looking statements contained in this website may include references to anticipated growth and long-term profitability, future capital and other expenditures, organizational capability, Shell’s plans for growth (including potential acquisitions), development, drilling, construction and expansion, resources and reserves estimates, future production of resources and reserves, receipt of regulatory approvals, reduction in unit costs, operational and product reliability, maintenance activities and schedules, emissions targets, project schedules and execution, refining margins, market share and market conditions.  Forward-looking statements of this nature are also contained in Shell’s filings with Canadian and U.S. securities regulatory authorities.
 

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.  Although Shell believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available to it on the date of the statement, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

Forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks, and uncertainties that may cause Shell’s actual performance or results to differ materially from any estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  These assumptions, risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, demand for oil, gas and related products, disruptions in supply, fluctuations in oil and gas prices, industry operating conditions, operating costs, stakeholder engagement, project startup, schedules and execution, drilling results, market competition, operational reliability, product quality, labour availability, shortages of materials and equipment, the uncertainties involving the geology of oil and gas deposits and reserves estimates, including the assumption that the quantities estimated can be found and profitably produced in the future, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, general economic conditions, commercial negotiations, changes in law or government policy, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Shell.  Readers should refer to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Risk Management sections of Shell’s latest Annual Report for further discussion of the risks and uncertainties identified by Shell.
