We do not warrant that: (a) the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free; (b) calculations or projections will be accurate or complete; (c) the Service will meet your specific requirements; or (d) any errors will be corrected.
Financial calculations disclaimer: All metrics produced by the Service (including cash flow, DSCR, cap rate, IRR, and all other outputs) are estimates based on user-provided inputs and standardized assumptions. They are not guaranteed to reflect actual market conditions, lender requirements, or investment outcomes. Past performance of any referenced benchmarks does not guarantee future results.
8. Educational Use Only
Rental Analyst is an educational and analytical tool designed to help users understand and model real estate investment scenarios. All outputs, projections, metrics, scores (including the RA Score™), and analyses generated by the Service are estimates based solely on the inputs you provide.
They are illustrative in nature and do not constitute financial, investment, mortgage, tax, or legal advice. Results should not be relied upon as the basis for any investment decision.
Always consult a qualified financial advisor, mortgage professional, or legal counsel before making any real estate investment decision.
9. Accuracy Disclaimer
Rental Analyst makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of any calculations, projections, or analyses.
Benchmark indicators (DSCR, cap rate, GRM, cash-on-cash return) are general guidelines commonly referenced in Canadian real estate practice and are not guarantees of lender approval, investment performance, or market conditions.
Tax estimates are approximations only and may not reflect your actual tax liability.

11. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its design, code, algorithms, and content (excluding user-entered data), is the exclusive property of Rental Analyst and is protected by Canadian copyright law and applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Service without our express written consent.
The Rental Analyst name, logo, and related branding are proprietary to us. Nothing in these Terms grants you a right to use our trademarks.
12. Third-Party Services
The Service integrates with third-party services including Supabase (infrastructure), Stripe (payments), and Vercel (hosting). Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of these third parties.
13. Service Availability and Changes
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. For paid subscribers, we will provide at least 30 days' notice before discontinuing the Service entirely, and will offer a pro-rated refund for prepaid periods.
We may update features, change or remove functionality, or adjust free-tier limitations with reasonable notice. We will not materially reduce the core features of a paid plan without offering a comparable alternative or refund.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario.
16. Estimates, Third-Party Data and Closing Costs
Certain figures are generated from built-in assumptions rather than your inputs, including estimated land transfer tax, municipal transfer tax, legal and other closing costs, mortgage stress-test and renewal rates, tax estimates, rent and expense benchmarks, and the Rental Analyst Score (RA Score™). Tax schedules, rates and fees change and vary by municipality, buyer status (including first-time-buyer rebates), and transaction. These figures are approximate, may be out of date or incorrect, and must be verified with your lawyer, lender, accountant or the relevant authority before you rely on them.
Benchmarks, verdict labels (such as "Pass" or "At risk") and scores are not a recommendation to buy, sell, hold or finance any property, and are not a prediction of lender approval or investment performance.
17. AI Features and Listing Content
Some features use artificial intelligence to extract or suggest values from text you provide (for example, listing text pasted or sent from your browser). AI output can be incomplete or wrong. You must review every extracted value before relying on it. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to submit any content you provide, and for complying with the terms of any website you copy content from. We do not scrape third-party websites on your behalf, we do not endorse or verify any listing, and we are not responsible for third-party listing content.
Share links and preview images you generate contain only the figures you choose to include. You are responsible for who you share them with.
18. No Professional Relationship
Use of the Service does not create an advisory, fiduciary, brokerage, mortgage-brokering, accounting, tax, legal or other professional relationship between you and Rental Analyst. We are not a registered investment dealer, portfolio manager, mortgage brokerage, real estate brokerage or licensed advisor, and we do not recommend specific investments or lenders.
19. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Rental Analyst and its owners, officers and service providers from claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, content you submit, or your use of the Service's outputs in connection with any transaction or decision.
20. General
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Rental Analyst regarding the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under consumer-protection or other laws that cannot be waived by contract, and the limitations above apply only to the extent permitted by those laws.
