Terms of Use

Agreement to Terms

Welcome to Nova Fabric. By accessing our website or using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms of use. Please read them carefully before proceeding. If you disagree with any part of these terms, you should not use our website or services.

These terms create a legal agreement between you and Nova Fabric Business Services, operating as Nova Fabric, regarding your use of our website and professional services.

About Our Services

Nova Fabric provides business incorporation, compliance, and advisory services to entrepreneurs establishing or managing companies in Canada. Our services include preparing legal documents, filing government registrations, maintaining corporate records, and providing strategic business guidance.

The information on our website is intended to help you understand our services and make informed decisions about business incorporation. It does not constitute legal advice, and website content should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional consultation specific to your situation.

Website Access and Use

We grant you permission to access and use this website for legitimate business purposes related to learning about or engaging our services. This permission is subject to your compliance with these terms.

Permitted Uses

You may browse our website, read content about our services, contact us with inquiries, and access resources we've made available to the public. If you engage our services, you may use any client-specific areas of the website we provide access to.

Prohibited Activities

You may not use our website in ways that could damage, disable, or impair it. Specifically, you agree not to:

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, servers, or networks
• Use automated systems to scrape or download content from our website
• Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code
• Attempt to interfere with the proper functioning of the website
• Use the website for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable regulations
• Impersonate another person or entity when using the website
• Collect personal information about other users without their consent

Service Engagement

Engagement of our professional services creates a separate contractual relationship governed by a service agreement in addition to these general terms.

Consultation Process

Initial consultations help us understand your needs and determine whether we can assist you. These consultations are informational and don't create a client relationship until we both agree to formal engagement through a signed service agreement.

Service Agreements

When you engage our services, we'll provide a written agreement outlining the specific services, fees, timelines, and responsibilities of both parties. That agreement governs our professional relationship and takes precedence over these general website terms regarding service delivery.

Professional Standards

We maintain professional standards consistent with our industry and comply with applicable regulations governing business services in Canada. However, we're not a law firm and don't provide legal services. When legal expertise is needed, we'll recommend consulting with a qualified attorney.

Fees and Payment

Service fees are outlined on our website and in service agreements. The fees displayed represent professional service charges; government filing fees and third-party costs are additional unless specifically stated otherwise.

Payment terms vary by service but typically require a deposit before work begins with the balance due before final filing or delivery. We accept various payment methods including bank transfers, credit cards, and electronic payments.

All fees are quoted in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. If you're paying from outside Canada, your financial institution may apply currency conversion fees or international transaction charges.

Intellectual Property Rights

Our Content

All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, designs, and software, is owned by Nova Fabric or our licensors and protected by Canadian and international intellectual property laws.

You may view and print content for personal reference related to considering or using our services. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our content without written permission.

Client Documents

Documents we prepare for you as part of our services become your property once fees are paid in full. We retain copies for our records as required by professional obligations. You may use these documents for their intended business purposes.

Trademarks

Nova Fabric and our logo are trademarks used to identify our services. You may not use our trademarks without written permission in ways that could create confusion about the source of products or services.

Information Accuracy

We strive to maintain accurate, current information on our website. However, business regulations and government requirements change periodically. While we update content regularly, there may be delays between regulatory changes and corresponding website updates.

Pricing, timelines, and service descriptions are subject to change without notice. We'll confirm current details during consultation before you commit to any service engagement.

If you notice outdated or incorrect information on our website, please let us know so we can update it promptly.

Third-Party Links and Resources

Our website may include links to government resources, regulatory websites, or other third-party sites that we think might be helpful. These links are provided for convenience and don't constitute endorsement of the linked sites or their content.

We have no control over third-party websites and aren't responsible for their content, privacy practices, or availability. Your use of linked sites is subject to their own terms and policies.

Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Nova Fabric and its directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our website or services.

Our liability for any direct damages is limited to the amount of fees you've paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory underlying the claim, whether contract, negligence, or other basis. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain liability limitations, so these restrictions may not apply in full depending on your location.

Professional Relationship Limitations

Using our website or receiving information from us doesn't create a professional relationship. A formal engagement requires mutual agreement documented in a service contract.

We may decline to provide services based on conflicts of interest, capacity constraints, or if we determine we're not the right fit for your needs. We're not obligated to accept every potential client who contacts us.

Information you provide through website contact forms or general email inquiries is not protected by professional confidentiality obligations until we've formally agreed to work together. Avoid sharing sensitive details until we've established a client relationship.

Privacy and Data Protection

Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which you should review to understand our data practices.

By using our website, you consent to data collection and processing as described in the Privacy Policy. For visitors from the European Union, additional protections outlined in our GDPR Compliance page apply.

Disclaimer of Warranties

We provide our website and content on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

We don't warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components. We don't guarantee that information on the website is complete, accurate, or current at all times.

You use the website at your own risk and should take appropriate precautions such as using antivirus software and maintaining data backups.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Nova Fabric from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these terms or misuse of our website.

This obligation includes defending us against third-party claims resulting from your actions and reimbursing costs we incur as a result of such claims.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of our website will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Toronto, Ontario. However, we retain the right to seek injunctive relief in any jurisdiction to protect our intellectual property or confidential information.

Modifications to Terms

We may update these terms periodically to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we'll update the "last updated" date at the top of this page.

Significant changes will be communicated through a notice on our website homepage or via email to clients with active service agreements. Your continued use of the website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.

If you disagree with updated terms, you should discontinue using our website. For clients with existing service agreements, changes to these general terms won't affect your specific service contract unless both parties agree to amendments.

Termination of Access

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate your access to our website at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you've violated these terms or engaged in conduct harmful to our business or other users.

Termination of website access doesn't automatically terminate existing service agreements, which remain governed by their specific terms unless separately cancelled or terminated.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary while the remaining provisions continue in full effect.

No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these terms doesn't constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Nova Fabric.

Entire Agreement

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any service-specific agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and Nova Fabric regarding use of our website and services, superseding any prior agreements or understandings.
