Terms of use.
These terms govern your use of greenlitconsulting.ca. They cover what the site is for, what it isn't, and how a paid engagement with Greenlit is set up. Read them once. If you have questions, the email at the bottom is the right place to ask.
1. Acceptance
By using greenlitconsulting.ca (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site. These terms are between you and Greenlit ("we," "us," or "our"), a Canadian licensing and compliance consultancy.
2. The Site is informational
The articles, guides, regulator updates, and service descriptions on this Site are for general information. They are not legal advice and they don't create a lawyer-client or consultant-client relationship.
Canadian regulators (FINTRAC, the Bank of Canada, the CSA, the OSC, the AMF, and others) issue guidance that changes. We do our best to keep the Site current, but you should not act — or refrain from acting — solely on the basis of what you read here. For advice that applies to your business, contact us and engage us formally, or speak with qualified counsel.
3. How an engagement starts
Reading the Site, submitting the contact form, or having a scope call with us does not create a paid engagement. A formal engagement begins only after both sides sign a written engagement letter or services agreement describing scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees. The signed engagement letter governs that work and prevails over anything you read on the Site.
4. Acceptable use
You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes. You will not:
- copy, scrape, or systematically extract content from the Site for commercial republication;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site, its servers, or any connected system;
- interfere with the Site's operation, including by uploading malicious code or running automated requests at a rate that would degrade availability;
- submit false or misleading information through the contact form;
- impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any organization.
5. Intellectual property
All content on the Site — including text, design, layout, code, illustrations, the Greenlit name and mark, and any compilations of regulatory information — is owned by Greenlit or licensed to us, and is protected by Canadian and international intellectual property laws.
You may view, print, and share short quotations from articles with attribution and a link to the source. Anything beyond that, including republication on another site, training of machine-learning models on Site content, or use in commercial products, requires our written permission. Email team@greenlitconsulting.ca with "Permissions" in the subject line.
6. Third-party links
The Site links to regulator websites, government resources, and other third-party sites for reader convenience. We don't control those sites, we don't endorse them, and we aren't responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. Use them at your own discretion.
7. Forms and submissions
When you submit the contact form or subscribe to the briefing, your information is handled under our Privacy Policy. Don't include sensitive information (financial account numbers, government identifiers, privileged communications, trade secrets) in the message field — the form is fine for an initial introduction, but anything confidential should wait until we've set up a secure channel.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, and uninterrupted access. We do not warrant that the Site will be error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Site is free of viruses or other harmful components.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Greenlit will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities — arising out of or related to your use of the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total cumulative liability for any claim arising out of or related to use of the Site (separate from any signed engagement letter, which has its own liability terms) will not exceed CAD $100.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Greenlit, its directors, employees, and contractors harmless from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the Site, or your violation of any law or third-party right in connection with your use of the Site.
11. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of the page. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the revised Terms. If you don't agree with a change, your remedy is to stop using the Site.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Site will be brought exclusively in the courts located in Toronto, Ontario, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
13. Severability
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. The unenforceable part will be interpreted to come as close as possible to its original intent within the bounds of applicable law.
