Terms of Service

Last updated: May 25, 2026

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of the CHeCS website at https://checs.ca and any other websites we operate that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Site”). The Site is operated by CHeCS Canada (“we,” “our,” or “us”).

These Terms apply to anyone who visits the Site, including prospective customers, customers, Authorized Users of the Service, journalists, researchers, suppliers, and members of the public. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

These Terms do not govern your use of the CHeCS compliance management platform (the “Service”). The Service is provided to customers under a separate written agreement (the “Service Agreement”) and the related Acceptable Use Policy and Data Processing Addendum, as described in Section 12.

2. About the Site and the Service

The Site is our marketing website. We use it to describe CHeCS, our products, our company, and related topics, and to provide a way for prospective customers to request a demo, contact us, and access our legal and policy documents.

The Site is not the Service. The Service is a separate, authenticated software-as-a-service platform delivered to customers under the Service Agreement. Nothing on the Site creates or modifies a Service Agreement. Marketing descriptions, feature lists, screenshots, case studies, roadmap statements, and similar content on the Site are provided for general informational purposes. The features and commitments that bind us and any customer are set out in the Service Agreement and its schedules, not on the Site.

3. Permitted use of the Site

You may use the Site to:

  • Read, view, and download Site content for your personal or internal business reference.
  • Submit a demo request through our demo request form.
  • Contact us using the email addresses or other channels provided on the Site.
  • Share links to Site content on social media, in business communications, or in other lawful contexts.
  • Link to the Site from another website, provided the link does not present the Site or CHeCS in a misleading or disparaging way and does not suggest a relationship, sponsorship, or endorsement that does not exist.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access the Site for the purposes described above. This licence does not include any right to copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, license, sublicense, or create derivative works of Site content except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable law.

4. Prohibited use of the Site

You must not:

  • Use the Site for any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose.
  • Scrape, harvest, mirror, or otherwise extract data from the Site through automated means, browser automation, headless browsers, or AI agents, except for legitimate search-engine indexing by well-known search engines that respect our robots.txt and similar controls.
  • Copy or reproduce Site content for the purpose of building or marketing a competing product or service, or for any other competitive purpose.
  • Republish Site content, in whole or in substantial part, on any other website or in any other publication, except for short quotations consistent with fair-dealing under Canadian copyright law and accompanied by appropriate attribution.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Site or any software made available through the Site.
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site or any related system, except under a written authorized assessment agreed with us.
  • Attempt to bypass authentication, rate limits, file size limits, or any other security or capacity control on the Site.
  • Introduce malware, ransomware, worms, viruses, malicious links, or any code intended to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to the Site or to the devices of other visitors.
  • Conduct any denial-of-service activity against the Site, or place a disproportionate load on the Site through scripted, automated, or repeated requests.
  • Impersonate any person, organization, or affiliation, or misrepresent your identity or your relationship with any organization, including when submitting a demo request or other form.
  • Submit a demo request or other inquiry that you do not intend to follow up on in good faith, or for the purpose of competitive intelligence gathering, recruitment of our personnel, or other purposes inconsistent with the apparent intent of the form.
  • Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices, trademarks, or labels on the Site.

We may investigate and take action in response to any suspected violation of these Terms, including blocking access to the Site, reporting the conduct to law enforcement, or pursuing other remedies available to us.

5. Intellectual property

The Site and all content made available on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, images, video, audio, software, code, and the selection, arrangement, and structure of that content (collectively, “Site Content”), are owned by us or by our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. The CHeCS name, the CHeCS logo, “CHeCS by Solviax Canada,” “CIS Filing Assistant,” “CHeCS It,” and other product and service names used on the Site are our trademarks or trade names. You may not use these marks without our prior written permission, except to refer to us in factual, descriptive ways consistent with applicable trademark law.

Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of Site Content to you. Any rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved.

If you believe that any Site Content infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact us at legal@checs.ca with the information necessary to investigate the claim, including the work alleged to be infringed, the location of the allegedly infringing content on the Site, your contact information, and a statement of good-faith belief and authority to act.

6. Demo request form and other communications

When you submit a demo request, contact form, or other inquiry through the Site, we collect and use the information you provide as described in our Privacy Policy. By submitting an inquiry, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the authority to provide it.

If you receive marketing communications from us as a result of a Site interaction, you may unsubscribe at any time as described in our Privacy Policy and in compliance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation.

7. Roadmap, statements, and forward-looking information

Site Content may include statements about planned features, future capabilities, partnerships, certifications, target dates, market opportunities, and similar forward-looking topics. These statements reflect our current intent and expectations as of the date of publication. They are not commitments or guarantees and are subject to change without notice. We may revise, delay, or abandon any plan described on the Site without further notice. Any contractual commitment regarding a feature, capability, or timeline is made only in the Service Agreement and its schedules, signed by both parties, and not through Site Content.

8. External links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, services, or content that we do not operate or control. We provide these links for convenience only. We do not endorse, and are not responsible for, the content, products, services, privacy practices, or accuracy of any third-party site. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk and subject to that site’s own terms and policies.

9. Disclaimers

The Site and the Site Content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties relating to the Site and the Site Content, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We do not warrant that the Site will be available at all times, that it will be free of viruses or other harmful components, or that any Site Content will remain available or unchanged. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time, with or without notice.

The Site is not, and is not intended to be, professional advice. Site Content is not clinical, legal, regulatory, accounting, financial, or other professional advice, and you must not rely on Site Content as a substitute for professional advice from a qualified advisor.

This Section 9 governs only the Site. Our commitments to customers regarding the Service are set out separately in the Service Agreement.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, business, goodwill, or use, arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based and regardless of whether we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to your use of the Site will not exceed one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100). This limit reflects the fact that the Site is provided free of charge and that the consideration we receive for making the Site available does not support broader liability exposure.

This Section 10 governs only the Site. Our liability to customers regarding the Service is governed separately by the Service Agreement, which contains its own limitations and exclusions.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CHeCS Canada, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claim, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Site in violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law in connection with your use of the Site; or (c) your infringement of any third-party right, including intellectual property and privacy rights, through your use of the Site.

12. Related documents and the Service Agreement

The following documents are referenced in these Terms and form part of the legal framework for your interaction with us:

  • Acceptable Use Policy: governs the conduct of Authorized Users of the Service.
  • Privacy Policy: describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect Personal Information.
  • Cookie Policy: describes our use of cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Site and in the Service.
  • The Service Agreement (also referred to as the “Software as a Service Agreement”), together with its Data Processing Addendum and other schedules: governs the use of the Service by customers. The Service Agreement is provided directly to customers as part of the contracting process and is not published on the Site.

If you are an Authorized User of the Service, your use of the Service is governed by the Service Agreement entered into by your organization, the Acceptable Use Policy, the Data Processing Addendum, and our other policies referenced in those documents. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Service Agreement with respect to the Service, the Service Agreement controls.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario, sitting in Toronto, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our Site, applicable law, or for any other reason. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of these Terms. Material changes will take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Site after the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you must stop using the Site.

We will not retroactively apply changes to past use of the Site.

15. General provisions

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms or any rights under them to any successor or affiliate without restriction.

No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between you and us.

Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.

Entire understanding for the Site. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy referenced in Section 12, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Site, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understanding regarding the Site. These Terms do not affect any separate written Service Agreement between us and a customer.
