6. Users' Identity Verification and Authorization for Payment

Business Canada follows the standard rules of Identity Verification according to Canadian law, including PIPEDA and applicable anti-money laundering regulations. We are required to verify the identity of a payer if they are not the Director, Incorporator, or partner of the business. We will not process an order or offer a service until:

A successful Identity Verification of the payer is completed
Consent of Authorization for the payment has been obtained

7. Users' Data

We will maintain certain data that you transmit to the Services for the purpose of managing performance. Although we perform regular routine backups of data, you are solely responsible for all data that you transmit or that relates to any activity you have undertaken using the Services. We shall have no liability to you for any loss or corruption of any such data.

7.1 Data Retention

Business Canada retains customer information for varying periods based on the nature of the data and applicable legal requirements:

Financial Records: Billing information and credit card transaction records are retained for six (6) years from the date of transaction to comply with tax and accounting requirements under Canadian law.
Order Documentation: Documents collected or generated in connection with orders are available in digital form at no additional charge for up to ninety (90) days following the completion of the order. After this 90-day period, a new service request and applicable fees will apply for document retrieval.

8. Products and Services

We make every effort to display accurate information about our products and services. However, we cannot certify that all information provided on our Website is correct, complete, or free of errors. Products and services are subject to availability, and prices are subject to change. We reserve the right to discontinue any products or services at any time for any reason.

8.1 Address Service

The Address Service enables Users who do not maintain a physical address in a required jurisdiction to utilize an address provided by Business Canada solely for business registration purposes. This Service is strictly limited to satisfying registration requirements and shall not be used for business operations.

A separate Address Service Agreement must be fully executed before the service is active. The mail scanning service includes the following limitations:

Only official government correspondence will be accepted, scanned, and forwarded digitally to the User
All other mail, including bank statements, personal correspondence, marketing materials, and packages, will be refused and returned to sender
Business Canada assumes no liability for refused mail or any consequences arising from such refusal

The Address Service is provided on an annual subscription basis. If renewal payment is not received within thirty (30) days after the expiry date:

The outstanding amount will be sent to a collection agency
Business Canada will notify the relevant government authorities that the business is using the address without authorization
The User will be notified via phone and email before such actions are taken
The User may face legal consequences for unauthorized use of the address

8.2 Agent Service (Agent for Service / Attorney Service)

The Agent Service satisfies governmental requirements in certain jurisdictions that mandate a local resident act as a representative for businesses. A separate Agent Service Agreement must be fully executed before the service commences.

The appointed agent does not have authority to:

Conduct business operations on behalf of the User
Enter into contracts or agreements
Make business decisions
Represent the User in any capacity beyond statutory requirements

The Agent Service operates under the same annual subscription model as the Address Service, including all renewal, non-payment, and notification terms outlined in Section 8.1.

8.3 Government Information and Documentation Fees

Certain government-issued identifiers such as a Business Number or Ontario Company Key are issued at no cost by the government. However, Business Canada charges a service fee for:

Retrieving these credentials from government systems
Securing and safeguarding this sensitive information
Delivering the information through secure channels
Providing guidance on proper usage and security

8.4 Instant and Automated Products

Certain products such as instant name searches, NUANS reports, and document retrievals are generated or delivered automatically upon order placement. Because processing begins immediately, these products may be non-refundable as set out in Section 12.

9. Purchases and Payment

All prices are in Canadian currency (CAD). We accept the following forms of payment:

Visa
Mastercard
American Express
Discover
PayPal
Interac

By ordering our Services or Products, you agree to provide current, complete, and accurate payment information. A binding contract between you and Business Canada is formed at the moment your payment is successfully processed.

We reserve the right to reject any order if we consider there is a discrepancy, a possible scam, or if it does not meet our verification requirements. Billing errors such as duplicate charges will be corrected through administrative adjustments, handled separately from our Refund Policy.

10. Service Term and Termination

These Legal Terms shall remain in full force and effect while you use our Services. We reserve the right to deny access, terminate accounts, or remove posted content at any time and for any reason without notice or liability.

We may terminate our services with you in the following cases:

If you violate our Agreement
If we cannot verify your identity
If we believe there is any suspicious activity on your part
If you do not provide the documentation we request in a timely manner

When an agreement expires at the natural end of its term, no refund is available as the service has already been fully provided.

11. Service Limitation and Expiration

11.1 Suspension and Termination

Business Canada reserves the right to suspend or terminate a service if there are consistent and material violations of policies, or if suspension or termination is required by law.

11.2 Abandoned Orders

If Business Canada requires additional information from a User and the User fails to respond, the following protocol applies:

Initial contact is made by phone and email
A second reminder is sent if no response is received within 7 days
A third and final reminder with a deadline is sent after a further 7 days
If no response is received within 28 days of initial contact, the order is deemed abandoned and closed with no refund issued

Reactivation of abandoned orders is at our sole discretion and may require a reactivation fee before Services can resume.

12. Refund Policy

Refund eligibility is determined by the work completed at the time of your cancellation request. If you wish to cancel your order, contact us as soon as possible.

These fees are non-refundable even if the order was placed in error or cancellation is requested immediately after ordering. Business Canada is a private company, not a government agency. Belief that you were transacting with a government entity is not grounds for a refund.

Requested business name being unavailable
Incorrect, incomplete, or insufficient information provided by the customer

Proof of any physical goods prepared or shipped
Email correspondence and order confirmations
Payment transaction details and receipts
