Terms of Service

The Service, including its software, user interface, design, algorithms, analytics methodologies, brand, and all Content produced by the platform, is owned by Princeps or its licensors and is protected by Canadian copyright law and applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of the platform or its underlying technology to you.

You retain ownership of any inputs you contribute to the Service, including saved searches, custom filters, uploaded brand assets, and notes. By submitting these inputs, you grant Princeps a limited, non-exclusive license to process and store them solely to provide the Service to you.

Listing Data is sourced from publicly available third-party databases. Princeps does not claim ownership of the underlying property listing facts. Analytics, derived metrics, and reports produced from Listing Data are the intellectual property of Princeps to the extent they reflect original analysis, selection, and presentation. Listing Data is provided for informational purposes and is attributed to its source where technically practicable.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and timely payment of subscription fees, Princeps grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service during your subscription term, solely for your internal business purposes.

Princeps offers monthly and annual subscription plans. Your subscription begins on the date you activate it and renews automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual, as applicable) until you cancel. By subscribing, you authorize Princeps to charge the applicable subscription fee to your payment method on file via Stripe at each renewal.

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at legal@princep.org. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period. You will retain access to the Service through the end of the period for which you have paid. We do not prorate fees for partial periods remaining after cancellation.

Subscription fees are non-refundable. From the moment you activate your subscription, you receive immediate access to Princeps analytics, reports, and listing data, and each report or analysis the Service generates incurs compute and data-processing costs that we cannot recover. Because the Service is delivered and usable on activation, all subscription fees — whether monthly or annual — are final and non-refundable.

You may cancel at any time as described in Section 7.2. Cancellation stops future renewals and you will retain access through the end of the period for which you have paid. We do not refund or prorate fees for unused time, and we do not issue refunds for partial billing periods.

We may change subscription pricing at any time. For existing subscribers, price changes will be communicated by email at least thirty (30) days before they take effect at your next renewal. If you do not cancel before the renewal date, you accept the new price.

Subscription fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. Canadian sales taxes (GST, QST, HST) will be calculated and added to your invoice where required based on your billing address and applicable law. You are responsible for any taxes imposed by your jurisdiction on your use of the Service.

Listing Data is sourced from third-party public databases that Princeps does not control. We do not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, timeliness, or fitness for any particular purpose of Listing Data or any analytics derived from it. Real-estate markets change rapidly; reports reflect data available at the time of generation.

Analytics, reports, scores, and all other Content provided through the Service are informational market-intelligence outputs only. Nothing in the Service constitutes investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, or professional real-estate advice of any kind. You are solely responsible for conducting your own due diligence, verifying any information relevant to your decisions, and consulting appropriate licensed professionals before making any investment, purchase, sale, or financing decision.

Except as expressly stated in these Terms, the Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Princeps disclaims all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Princeps's total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Service — regardless of the form of action — will not exceed the total subscription fees you paid to Princeps in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Princeps will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, or loss of business opportunity, even if Princeps has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in this section limits Princeps's liability for: (a) gross fault (faute lourde) or intentional fault (faute intentionnelle) as defined under Quebec civil law; (b) bodily injury; or (c) any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory provisions of Quebec law, including the Consumer Protection Act where applicable.

You may terminate your account at any time through your account settings. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of fees paid (see Section 7.3).

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you materially breach these Terms and fail to cure the breach within fourteen (14) days of written notice from us describing the breach. We may terminate immediately and without notice for breaches involving prohibited data scraping, unauthorized resale, or illegal use of the Service.

Upon termination of your subscription for any reason, your license to use the Service ends and you must cease all use. We will retain and then delete your account data as described in our Privacy Policy. Termination does not affect any accrued rights or obligations, and Sections 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15 survive termination.

Before starting arbitration or court proceedings, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service through good-faith direct negotiation. Either party may initiate this process by sending a written notice describing the dispute. The parties will have thirty (30) days from receipt of the notice to try to reach a negotiated resolution.

If negotiation does not resolve the dispute, either party may require that the dispute be finally resolved by confidential binding arbitration administered in Montreal, Quebec, in English or French, before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will apply the laws identified in Section 12 and may award the same individual remedies that a court could award, subject to the limitations and exclusions in these Terms.

Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration will proceed on documents and remote appearances where appropriate to reduce cost and delay. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each party agrees that disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff, applicant, class member, or representative in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of class, collective, or representative proceeding unless all parties expressly agree in writing after the dispute arises.

Either party may seek temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive or equitable relief in the courts of Quebec to protect intellectual property, confidential information, account security, or unauthorized access to the Service. Either party may also pursue an eligible claim in a small-claims court or similar tribunal where the claim qualifies and applicable law permits it.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible, without affecting the remaining provisions.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any order confirmation or subscription documentation, constitute the entire agreement between you and Princeps regarding the Service and supersede all prior negotiations, representations, or agreements relating to the subject matter.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email at least thirty (30) days before the updated Terms take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance. If you do not accept the revised Terms, you may cancel your subscription before the effective date.

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it in the future.

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Princeps may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets, with notice to you.
