2. Agreement to the platform rules

2.1 This User Agreement forms part of the AutoInvoice Terms of Service. By creating an account, requesting an account, signing in, accessing, browsing, or continuing to use the Service, you agree to this User Agreement, to the Terms of Service, and to any updated version of either document that is posted while you use the Service.

2.2 If you do not agree to this User Agreement, you must not use the Service, must not enter data into it, and must stop using it immediately. Continued use after an update is posted is your acceptance of the updated version.

2.3 Where this User Agreement and the Terms of Service address the same subject, this User Agreement governs for matters of data handling, privacy, consent, and user choices, and the Terms of Service govern for all other matters.

3. Eligibility and authority

3.1 You must be of legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the Service. You must not use the Service if you have previously been suspended or removed from it, unless we have agreed in writing that you may return.

3.2 If you accept this User Agreement for a Shop, you confirm that you are authorized to bind that Shop, that the Shop accepts this User Agreement, and that you will make its contents available to anyone else at the Shop who uses the account.

3.3 You confirm that the information you give us when requesting or maintaining an account is true, current, and complete, and that you will keep it up to date.

4. Scope of this agreement

4.1 This User Agreement applies to all use of the Service, including free, trial, promotional, paid, evaluation, pilot, and administrator access, and to any support, correspondence, or communication connected with the Service.

4.2 This User Agreement does not apply to third-party websites, services, or products that you reach through links, integrations, exports, or files produced by the Service. Those third parties operate under their own terms and privacy policies, and you are responsible for reviewing them.

5. Account registration and approval

5.1 Accounts are created through the sign-up process and may remain in a pending state until a platform administrator reviews and approves them. Approval is at our discretion, may be delayed, and may be refused without reasons being given.

5.2 We may verify the information you provide, ask for additional information, contact you about your request, and decline to create or continue an account where information appears inaccurate, incomplete, duplicated, or misused.

5.3 An account may be approved, rejected, paused, suspended, restored, or deleted by a platform administrator. Where an account is paused or suspended, sign-in may be refused and access to Shop Data may be unavailable until the account is restored.

6. Your account credentials

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized it.
You must choose a password that is not used elsewhere, keep it confidential, and not share it with anyone outside your Shop.
You must not transfer, sell, lend, or otherwise make your account available to another business.
You must sign out when using a shared, public, or borrowed device, and must not save credentials in a browser that other people can use.
You must notify us promptly if you suspect that your password, session, recovery code, device, or email account has been compromised.
We may invalidate sessions, require a password change, or lock an account where we believe credentials have been exposed or misused.

7. Roles of the parties

7.1 For Shop Data that you enter about your own customers, employees, contractors, and suppliers, you decide why and how that information is collected and used. You are therefore responsible for that information under Applicable Privacy Law, and we handle it on your behalf and for the purposes described in this User Agreement.

7.2 For Account Data, Usage Data, security records, and Derived Data, we decide why and how that information is used, and we are responsible for it under Applicable Privacy Law.

7.3 Nothing in this section makes either party responsible for the other party's independent acts, omissions, or legal obligations.

10. Cookies and similar technologies

10.1 The Service uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies to keep you signed in, to remember settings, to protect against unauthorized access, and to keep the Service working correctly. Some of these technologies are strictly necessary, and the Service will not function properly without them.

10.2 We may also use cookies or similar technologies for analytics, measurement, diagnostics, and, in the future, advertising or marketing purposes, where permitted by law and subject to any consent that the law requires.

10.3 Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and clear site storage. If you block cookies that are strictly necessary, you may be unable to sign in or use parts of the Service. Because standards for browser-based opt-out signals vary, we may not respond to every such signal unless the law requires it.

11. Sources of information

Directly from you, when you sign up, sign in, enter records, change settings, generate documents, restore a backup, or contact us.
Automatically from your device and browser, when you use the Service.
From your Shop's other users, where more than one person has access to the account.

From third parties who contact us about your account, including customers, regulators, payment providers, law enforcement, and other lawful requesters.
From information we derive or infer from the sources above.

12. How information is used

To evaluate, prepare for, negotiate, and complete a financing, acquisition, merger, reorganization, or sale of assets.
For the commercial purposes described in the later commercial data terms of this User Agreement and the Terms of Service.

13. Legal bases for processing

13.1 Where Applicable Privacy Law requires a legal basis for processing Personal Information, we rely on one or more of the following: your consent, including implied consent where the law allows it; the performance of a contract with you; our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Service, where those interests are not overridden by your rights; and compliance with legal obligations.

13.2 Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already took place, and may mean that we can no longer provide some or all of the Service to you.

13.3 Where the law requires express or opt-in consent before a particular collection, use, disclosure, or sale, we will seek that consent before relying on it.

14. Service providers and subprocessors

14.1 We use third parties to host the application and database, deliver email, generate documents, monitor performance, store backups, and provide security services. These providers may process information on our behalf and may store it outside your province or country.

14.2 We aim to engage providers that offer a level of protection appropriate to the information they handle, and to limit them to processing that is necessary for the services they provide to us.

14.3 We may add, replace, or remove providers at any time as the Service changes. We are not required to give advance notice of a change in providers unless the law or a separate written agreement requires it.

15. Analytics, measurement, and advertising

15.1 We may measure how the Service is used in order to understand performance, find defects, prioritize work, and plan capacity. This measurement may involve third-party tools that receive Usage Data.

15.2 If advertising or marketing measurement is added to the Service in the future, we will describe it here and provide any notice, consent mechanism, or opt-out that Applicable Privacy Law requires before it begins.

16. Artificial intelligence and automated processing

16.1 We may use automated systems, statistical methods, and machine learning techniques to operate and improve the Service, including for search, suggestions, defaults, fraud and abuse detection, quality checks, error analysis, and support.

16.2 Where we use third-party artificial intelligence services, we aim to use configurations that do not permit the provider to train public models on Shop Data, but we do not guarantee the internal practices of any third party.

16.3 We may use de-identified or aggregated data derived from use of the Service to develop, test, and evaluate models, features, and products.

17. De-identified and aggregated data

17.1 We may convert information into de-identified or aggregated form, so that it no longer identifies you, your Shop, or an individual. We may use, retain, disclose, license, and sell de-identified and aggregated data for any lawful purpose, including the commercial purposes described in this User Agreement.

17.2 Where we hold data in de-identified form, we will maintain it in that form, will not attempt to re-identify it except to test our de-identification methods or as permitted by law, and will require recipients by contract not to attempt re-identification where the law requires that commitment.

19. Opt-out and do-not-sell requests

19.1 Where Applicable Privacy Law gives you the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information, or the right to limit certain uses, you may exercise that right by contacting the site owner or administrator responsible for AutoInvoice.

19.2 We will confirm receipt of a request, may ask for information needed to verify it, and will respond within the period that the law requires. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a right, although some features may depend on data that a request restricts.

19.3 If a dedicated opt-out link, privacy control, or consent banner is required before a sale or sharing practice begins, that control must be added to the Service before the practice begins.

20. Rights under Canadian privacy law

20.1 If you are in Canada, federal and provincial privacy laws may give you the right to ask what Personal Information we hold about you, to ask how it has been used and disclosed, to ask for access to it, to ask that it be corrected, and to withdraw consent subject to legal and contractual limits.

20.2 You may also make a complaint to us and, if you are not satisfied with our response, to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or to the privacy regulator of your province.

21. Rights under other privacy laws

21.1 If a privacy law outside Canada applies to you, it may give you additional rights, such as the right of access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and the right not to be subject to certain automated decisions, as well as rights to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information or of targeted advertising.

21.2 We will honour rights that apply to you under a law that applies to us. Where a right does not apply, or where an exception applies, we will tell you and explain the reason to the extent the law requires.

22. How to exercise your rights

Send your request to the site owner or administrator responsible for AutoInvoice, and describe the right you wish to exercise.
Include enough information for us to locate your records and to confirm your identity. We may decline a request we cannot verify.
If you are a customer of a Shop rather than an account holder, send your request to that Shop. The Shop decides what records it keeps about you, and we will refer your request to it.
An authorized agent may make a request on your behalf where the law permits, and we may ask for proof of that authority.
We will respond within the period required by the law that applies, and may extend that period where the law allows.

23. Automated decision-making

23.1 The Service applies automated rules for routine operations, including rate limiting, session expiry, invoice numbering, tax calculation, and validation of entered values. These rules do not make decisions that produce legal effects about individuals.

23.2 Approval, rejection, suspension, and deletion of accounts are reviewed by a person. If an automated control blocks your access in error, contact us and we will review it.

24. Customer and third-party data

24.1 You are responsible for the Personal Information you enter about your customers, employees, contractors, suppliers, and any other person. You must only enter information that you are authorized to collect, use, and disclose for the purposes described in this User Agreement.

24.2 You are responsible for giving those people the notices required by law, for obtaining any consent required by law, for honouring their privacy requests, and for keeping the information accurate and current.

24.3 You must not enter information that is unnecessary for your lawful business purposes, and you should avoid entering sensitive categories of information, including government identification numbers, health information, financial account numbers, and payment card data, unless it is necessary and you are authorized to hold it.

24.4 If a person asks you to correct or delete information about them that is stored in the Service, you are responsible for responding and for making the change in your records.

25. Marketing and electronic messages

25.1 We may send you messages that are necessary to operate your account, including approval notices, security alerts, password resets, policy updates, billing notices, and service announcements. These messages are part of the Service and cannot be declined while you hold an account.

25.2 We may send commercial electronic messages where the law permits, including on the basis of an existing business relationship or your consent. Each commercial message will identify us and will include a way to unsubscribe. Unsubscribing from commercial messages does not stop account and security messages.

25.3 You are responsible for your own compliance with anti-spam and telemarketing laws when you use the Service to prepare or send documents and communications to your customers.

26. Children and minors

26.1 The Service is a business tool and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information directly from children.

26.2 If you enter information about a minor as part of a customer record, you are responsible for having the authority to do so. If we learn that information about a child was collected in a way that the law does not permit, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

27. Security

27.1 We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including access controls, password hashing, hashed session tokens, rate limiting on sign-in and password reset, tenant scoping of records, transport encryption in hosted environments, and security headers.

27.2 No system is perfectly secure. We do not guarantee that unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse will never occur, and you use the Service with that understanding.

27.3 You must use the security features available to you, keep your devices and browsers up to date, restrict who can use your account, and report suspected problems promptly. Failure to do so may contribute to a loss for which we are not responsible.

28. Security incidents and notification

28.1 If we become aware of a security incident that affects your information and that requires notification under Applicable Privacy Law, we will notify you and any regulator as the law requires, within the time the law requires.

28.2 We may delay a notification where a lawful authority asks us to, or where notice would interfere with containing or investigating the incident. Our notice will describe what we know at the time, and may be updated as an investigation continues.

28.3 You are responsible for notifying your own customers and any regulator where the incident concerns Shop Data and the law places that obligation on you. We will provide reasonable assistance and the information we hold that you need in order to do so.

29. Backups, exports, and portability

29.1 The Service may offer exports and backups for convenience. These files may contain Personal Information, are not encrypted by the Service once they leave it, and become your responsibility as soon as they are downloaded, printed, emailed, or stored elsewhere.

29.2 You must store exports and backups securely, limit who can open them, and delete them when they are no longer needed.

29.3 We may keep our own operational backups of the Service. Those backups exist to restore the Service after a failure, are retained on a rolling schedule, and may continue to contain data for a period after it is deleted from the live system.

30. Retention and deletion

30.1 We keep information while an account is active, and afterward for as long as needed for backup, audit, tax, accounting, legal, security, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, business continuity, analytics, and other legitimate business purposes.

30.2 Retention periods vary by record type. Document history, invoice records, and security logs are generally kept longer than routine diagnostic data, because they support audit, tax, and dispute needs.

30.3 You may ask us to delete information. We may decline or limit a deletion request where retention is required or permitted by law, where the data is needed for records, disputes, security, or fraud prevention, where deletion would be technically impracticable, or where the data has been aggregated or de-identified.

30.4 Data removed from the live system may persist in operational backups until those backups expire in the ordinary course.

31. Cross-border processing

31.1 Information may be stored, processed, or accessed in Canada, the United States, or other countries where we or our service providers operate. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws of your home jurisdiction.

31.2 Information held in another country may be subject to lawful access requests by the courts, law enforcement, and national security authorities of that country.

31.3 Where the law requires a transfer mechanism, notice, or consent for a cross-border transfer, we will put that mechanism in place or obtain that consent.

32. Additional commercial data terms

32.1 AutoInvoice may later sell, rent, license, disclose, or otherwise share certain account, business, customer, vehicle, invoice, usage, or derived data for commercial purposes where permitted by law. If a law requires notice, opt-in consent, opt-out rights, or fresh consent before that sale or sharing, AutoInvoice will provide it before beginning that practice. Passwords, recovery codes, raw authentication secrets, and payment credentials are not sold.

32.2 Commercial uses of data may include analytics, benchmarking, market research, product research, business intelligence, advertising, marketing, lead generation, partner referrals, fraud prevention, service improvement, and the licensing or sale of aggregated, segmented, or de-identified datasets.

32.3 Where a sale or sharing of Personal Information would require notice, an opt-out mechanism, opt-in consent, or renewed consent under Applicable Privacy Law, we will provide that notice or consent process before the practice begins, and we will honour choices made through it.

32.4 Nothing in this section permits us to sell, share, or disclose passwords, password hashes, recovery codes, raw authentication secrets, session tokens, or payment credentials.

33. Commercial data categories

Account contact data, including names, business email addresses, and business phone numbers.
Business profile data, including shop name, location, service categories, size indicators, and settings.
Customer contact data entered by Shops, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses, where the law and any required consent permit.
Vehicle and service data, including make, model, year, mileage, service concerns, repair categories, and service intervals.
Invoice and quote metadata, including totals, line categories, labour and parts ratios, discounts, tax treatment, payment timing, and conversion rates.
Usage data, including feature adoption, activity levels, and workflow patterns.
Derived Data, including market segments, benchmarks, indices, trends, insights, and aggregated or de-identified datasets.

34. Commercial recipients

Service providers and subprocessors that operate parts of the Service on our behalf.
Analytics, measurement, monitoring, and error-reporting providers.
Advertising, marketing, data, research, and lead generation partners.
Industry participants such as parts suppliers, distributors, warranty providers, and trade associations, where permitted by law.
Professional advisors, including lawyers, accountants, auditors, and insurers.
Purchasers, investors, lenders, and their advisors in connection with a business transaction.
Regulators, courts, law enforcement, and other parties where disclosure is required or permitted by law.
Any other recipient you direct us to share with, or that you authorize through a feature of the Service.

35. Administrator access

35.1 Platform administrators and authorized support personnel may access account, business, customer, vehicle, quote, invoice, payment, export, backup, and log data for support, security, approval, troubleshooting, compliance, enforcement, and business operations.

35.2 Access is limited to personnel who need it for those purposes, and administrative actions may be recorded. We may access an account without notice where we believe it is necessary to protect the Service, its users, or the public, or where the law requires it.

36. Monitoring, logging, and enforcement

36.1 We may monitor use of the Service to maintain availability and security, investigate suspected misuse, and enforce this User Agreement and the Terms of Service. We have no obligation to monitor, and a decision not to act in one case does not waive our right to act in another.

36.2 Where we believe use of the Service breaches this User Agreement, the Terms of Service, or the law, we may investigate, restrict features, throttle access, suspend an account, remove data, or report the matter to the appropriate authorities.

37. Suspension and termination

37.1 We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, including where an account is unapproved, inactive, unpaid, unsafe, abusive, or in breach of this User Agreement or the Terms of Service, where the law requires it, or where the Service or a feature is discontinued.

37.2 You may stop using the Service at any time and may ask us to close your account. Closure requests may take time to process, and you should export any records you need before requesting closure.

38. Effect of termination

38.1 When an account ends, your right to use the Service ends immediately. We may retain, archive, de-identify, or delete Shop Data in accordance with the retention section of this User Agreement.

38.2 We are not obliged to keep Shop Data available after an account ends, and we may delete it after a reasonable period. It is your responsibility to keep the records that your business, tax, employment, insurance, consumer protection, and privacy obligations require.

39. Feedback and suggestions

39.1 If you send us feedback, ideas, suggestions, bug reports, or feature requests, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use them for any purpose, including developing and commercializing the Service, without obligation, attribution, or compensation to you.

39.2 You should not send us information that you consider confidential or proprietary unless we have agreed in writing to treat it as confidential.

40. Confidentiality

40.1 We treat Shop Data as confidential and do not disclose it except as described in this User Agreement, as directed by you, or as required or permitted by law.

40.2 You must treat non-public information about the Service as confidential, including credentials, security details, unreleased features, and information you receive through support or testing.

41. Disclaimers

41.1 The Service is provided on an as is and as available basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, conditions, and representations, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

41.2 We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that documents it produces will satisfy every tax, accounting, warranty, insurance, audit, or regulatory requirement, or that defects will be corrected. You are responsible for reviewing invoices, quotes, tax settings, exports, and records before relying on them.

41.3 Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers. Where that is the case, this section applies to the maximum extent permitted, and any implied warranty that cannot be excluded is limited to the shortest period the law allows.

42. Limitation of liability

42.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, lost goodwill, lost or corrupted data, business interruption, or the cost of replacement services, even if we were advised that such damages were possible.

42.2 To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service and this User Agreement is limited to the greater of the amounts you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, and one hundred Canadian dollars.

42.3 These limits apply to all claims and all theories of liability, including contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, and otherwise, and apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Where a jurisdiction does not permit these limits, they apply to the maximum extent it allows.

43. Indemnity

43.1 You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AutoInvoice and its owners, personnel, contractors, and service providers from and against claims, demands, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, your Shop Data, your breach of this User Agreement or the Terms of Service, your breach of Applicable Privacy Law, or your handling of another person's information.

43.2 We may assume the defence and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense, and you will cooperate with us in that defence. You will not settle a matter in a way that imposes an obligation or admission on us without our written consent.

44. Governing law and disputes

44.1 This User Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Saskatchewan and the federal laws of Canada that apply in it, without regard to conflict of laws rules. The courts of Saskatchewan have jurisdiction over disputes, and you attend to that jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory law that gives you the right to bring a claim where you live.

44.2 Before starting a proceeding, you agree to contact us and try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty days.

44.3 Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect confidential information or intellectual property.

45. Notices and electronic communications

45.1 You consent to receive notices, agreements, disclosures, and other communications from us electronically, including by email to the address on your account and by posting within the Service. Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing.

45.2 A notice we send by email is considered received on the day it is sent, and a notice posted in the Service is considered received when it is posted. You must keep the email address on your account current and monitored.

45.3 Notices to us should be sent to the site owner or administrator responsible for AutoInvoice.

46. Assignment and business transfers

46.1 You may not assign or transfer this User Agreement or your account without our written consent. Any attempt to do so without consent is of no effect.

46.2 We may assign this User Agreement, and may transfer Account Data, Shop Data, Usage Data, and Derived Data, in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, insolvency, or sale of all or part of our business or assets. The recipient will be bound by this User Agreement or a successor agreement with protections that are substantially similar.

47. Force majeure

47.1 We are not liable for a delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including hosting or network failures, power outages, internet disruptions, third-party service failures, denial of service attacks, malware, labour disputes, epidemics, extreme weather, fire, flood, war, civil unrest, government action, and changes in law.

48. Severability, waiver, and survival

48.1 If any part of this User Agreement is found unenforceable, it will be read down to the minimum extent necessary, or severed if it cannot be read down, and the rest of the agreement stays in force.

48.2 A failure or delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver of it, and a waiver in one instance is not a waiver in any other. A waiver is effective only if it is in writing.

48.3 Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including definitions, data use, confidentiality, feedback, retention, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law, and this section.

49. Entire agreement and order of precedence

49.1 This User Agreement, together with the Terms of Service and any written agreement we sign with you, is the entire agreement between us about the Service, and replaces prior discussions, proposals, and understandings about its subject.

49.2 If there is a conflict, a signed written agreement between us prevails over this User Agreement, and this User Agreement prevails over the Terms of Service for matters of data handling, privacy, consent, and user choices.

49.3 There are no third-party beneficiaries to this agreement, and nothing in it creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between us.

50. Language

50.1 This User Agreement is written in English, and the English version governs. If we provide a translation, it is for convenience only. Les parties ont demandé que cette entente soit rédigée en anglais.

51. Changes to this agreement
