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 includes property listing facts made available for analytics, comparison, and workflow purposes. 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.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and the trial and payment terms in Section 7, Princeps grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service during your trial or subscription term, solely for your internal business purposes.

Princeps offers three monthly subscription plans: Scout at CAD $29.99, Ranger at CAD $99.99 and Vanguard at CAD $199.99 per month, tax-inclusive. Every plan includes the same Service features. The plans differ in their usage limit: the amount of AI processing the Analyst may use for you in each monthly billing period, measured by its cost to us. The pricing page shows how the limits compare, and the Service shows how much of yours you have used.

When you reach your usage limit, the Analyst stops answering until your next billing period starts or you move to a higher plan. A request already being answered may finish. Unused usage does not carry over to the next period, and usage cannot be bought separately.

A new account with a verified email address may receive one free trial of seven (7) days. The trial needs no payment method and is never charged. It has a smaller usage limit, may use a different AI model from the paid plans, and does not include photo uploads. The Analyst stops when the trial's usage limit is reached, even if trial days remain.

The trial does not turn into a subscription. When it ends, access to the Service ends unless you choose a plan. We offer one trial per email address, including an address whose earlier account was deleted, and we may refuse or end a trial we reasonably believe is being used to obtain repeated free access.

By subscribing, you authorize Princeps to keep your payment method on file through Stripe and to charge the monthly fee for your plan when you subscribe and at the start of each billing period after that. Your subscription renews automatically each month until you cancel.

If a renewal payment fails, your access continues for up to seventy-two (72) hours while the payment is retried. If payment is still outstanding after that, access is suspended until the invoice is paid or the subscription ends.

You may move to a higher plan at any time through the Stripe billing portal. The change takes effect immediately: you are charged the higher plan's monthly fee less a credit for the unused part of your current plan, a new monthly billing period starts that day, and your usage limit restarts at the higher plan's full amount. If that charge fails, you stay on your current plan and billing period.

A move to a lower plan takes effect at the end of your current billing period; until then you keep your current plan and its usage limit.

We may, at our discretion, provide complimentary, invitation, or temporary access to a plan for a stated period, or promotion codes that discount a subscription. Such access ends when its stated period ends unless you subscribe, and a promotion code applies only on the terms stated when it is offered. Complimentary access has no cash value.

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the Stripe billing portal in your account settings or by contacting us at legal@princep.org. Cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access to the Service through the end of the period for which you have paid.

Subscription fees are final and non-refundable once charged. The Service is usable throughout each paid period, and each analysis it generates incurs AI-processing and data costs that we cannot recover. We do not refund or prorate fees for unused time or unused usage, including after cancellation. The credit applied when you move to a higher plan under Section 7.4 is part of that plan change and is not a refund.

We may change plan prices or usage limits. We will tell existing subscribers by email at least thirty (30) days before a change takes effect at their next renewal. If you do not cancel before that renewal, you accept the change.

The subscription prices displayed by Princeps are the final tax-inclusive amounts charged; no additional GST, QST, or HST line is added at Checkout. Princeps will review its Canadian sales-tax obligations with qualified advisers and will update its prices, billing configuration, and these Terms before changing this treatment.

Princeps does 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 request account deletion from the Security page in account settings or by contacting legal@princep.org. Deleting your account also deletes your Clerk user. Deleting your account cancels any active subscription immediately, without a refund for the rest of the billing period (see Section 7.7). Cancelling a subscription does not delete your account.

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 automated extraction, unauthorized resale, or illegal use of the Service.

Upon termination of your trial or 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 at any time. Updated Terms take effect when they are posted here, and the date at the top shows the latest revision; a change to plan prices or usage limits follows Section 7.8. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes your acceptance. If you do not accept the revised Terms, you may cancel your subscription at any time.

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.
