Website Terms

These Website Terms govern access to and use of Canada Trade Pros. By using the website, you agree to use it lawfully and in accordance with these terms. If you do not agree, do not submit a service request or use features that require acceptance of these terms.

1. Canada Trade Pros Service

Canada Trade Pros provides directory, lead-generation, referral, marketing, and connection services intended to help visitors find independent contractors and professionals. The website may present one participating business for a particular profession, industry, city, community, or territory.

2. Independent Businesses

Contractors, agents, professionals, clinics, companies, and other businesses displayed or assigned through Canada Trade Pros are independent businesses unless a page expressly states otherwise. They are not employees, partners, or agents of Canada Trade Pros merely because they appear on the website or receive leads through it.

3. Quote, Appointment, and Consultation Requests

Submitting a form is a request for contact or follow-up. It does not guarantee that a contractor or professional will accept a project, attend an appointment, provide a quotation, meet a particular timeline, offer a particular price, or enter into a contract. Any service agreement is between you and the independent business unless expressly stated otherwise.

4. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for providing accurate information, having authority to request service for the relevant property or organization, reviewing quotations and agreements, and deciding whether a professional is appropriate for your needs. Do not submit unlawful, misleading, abusive, fraudulent, or unnecessary sensitive information.

5. Business Information, Ratings, Credentials, and Verification

Canada Trade Pros may display company details, ratings, testimonials, licences, insurance information, certifications, WorkSafe or workers' compensation information, professional credentials, service areas, photographs, or verification indicators. Such information may be supplied by the business, obtained from public or third-party sources, or reviewed by Canada Trade Pros at a point in time.

A listing, verification indicator, testimonial, or rating is not a guarantee of current licensing, insurance, workmanship, professional competence, availability, regulatory standing, safety, or suitability for a particular project. Users should independently confirm information that is important to their decision before hiring or relying on a professional.

6. Partner and Referral Relationships

Canada Trade Pros may receive fees or other compensation from participating businesses for territory placement, lead-generation, referral, marketing, or related services. A commercial relationship may affect which participating business receives inquiries for a particular page or territory. It does not guarantee a particular outcome for the visitor.

7. Testimonials and Reviews

Where testimonials or reviews are displayed, they represent the experiences or statements attributed to the identified source and may not represent every customer's experience. Canada Trade Pros may moderate, verify, reject, or remove content where appropriate, but does not guarantee that every third-party statement is complete or error-free.

8. External Links and Other Services

The website may link to independent business websites, social networks, mapping or analytics services, and related service websites, including insurance, graphic design, branding, web development, marketing, or other business services. External websites are governed by their own terms, privacy policies, availability, and security practices. Canada Trade Pros is not responsible for third-party website content solely because it provides a link.

9. Website Content

Industry, location, population, educational, and other website information is provided for general informational and referral purposes. We work to keep information useful and current but do not warrant that every item will always be complete, current, or error-free. Population and other public statistics may be based on identified third-party or government data sources.

10. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, the Canada Trade Pros name, website design, original text, graphics, software, organization, and other original website materials are owned by or licensed to Canada Trade Pros and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party names, logos, photographs, ratings, and other materials remain the property of their respective owners.

11. Acceptable Use

You may not misuse the website, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, submit malicious code, scrape or copy substantial portions of the service in violation of applicable law or rights, impersonate another person or business, submit fraudulent leads, abuse forms, or use the website to violate another person's rights.

12. Availability and Changes

We may add, remove, suspend, or modify pages, industries, territories, features, forms, partner relationships, or website functions. We may also correct errors and update these terms. We do not guarantee uninterrupted website availability.

13. Disclaimer

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Canada Trade Pros provides the website and referral service on an "as available" basis and does not guarantee the work, advice, products, prices, availability, statements, or conduct of independent businesses. Nothing on the website replaces professional advice from an appropriately qualified and regulated professional where such advice is required.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Canada Trade Pros is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising solely from the acts or omissions of an independent business, an external website, or a user's decision to hire or rely on a third party. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

15. Privacy

Personal information submitted through the website is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. By submitting a lead or contact request, you acknowledge that the information necessary to process the request may be shared with or made available to the independent business assigned to the relevant service and location.

16. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, subject to any mandatory consumer or other rights that apply in your jurisdiction.
