These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the MarginMagic application and related services (the “Service”), operated by CanadaClouds (“we”, “us”, or “our”), a Canadian business.
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service. These Terms apply to all users, including team members invited by an account administrator.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
You must notify us immediately at privacy@canadaclouds.org if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

5. Data Collection & Scraping Practices
MarginMagic collects publicly available pricing data from competitor websites and authorized supplier portals on your behalf. Our scraping practices include:
Compliance checks:Before adding a competitor or supplier, the Service analyzes the target website's Terms of Service and robots.txt to assess compliance risk. You are shown this analysis and must acknowledge it before proceeding.
Rate limiting: All automated requests are rate-limited to minimize impact on target websites (maximum 1 request per 5 seconds per domain).
robots.txt compliance: We identify ourselves in request headers and respect robots.txt directives where applicable.
Public data only: We only collect data that is publicly visible without authentication, unless you provide authorized supplier portal credentials.
Your responsibility: You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the scraping features complies with the Terms of Service of the websites being monitored. MarginMagic provides compliance analysis as a convenience but does not guarantee legal compliance.
6. QuickBooks Integration
When you connect your QuickBooks account, you authorize MarginMagic to access your product catalog data (item names, prices, part numbers, and descriptions) via the Intuit QuickBooks API. For full details on what data we access and how we handle it, see our Privacy Policy.
You may disconnect your QuickBooks account at any time through Settings. Disconnecting stops data synchronization but does not automatically delete previously synced data.
7. AI-Powered Features
MarginMagic uses artificial intelligence (powered by Anthropic's Claude) to:
Extract product and pricing data from web pages
Match competitor products to your catalog
Analyze Terms of Service for scraping compliance
Generate pricing insights and recommendations via the AI chat feature
AI-generated outputs (product matches, compliance analyses, pricing recommendations) are provided as informational tools and should not be relied upon as legal, financial, or business advice. You are responsible for verifying AI outputs before acting on them.
8. Intellectual Property
Our IP: The Service, including its design, code, algorithms, and branding, is owned by CanadaClouds. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service during your subscription.
Your data: You retain all ownership rights to your business data. We do not claim ownership of any data you provide or generate through the Service.
Competitor data: Publicly available pricing data collected by the Service remains the intellectual property of its respective owners. MarginMagic facilitates access to this data for your internal business use only.
9. Service Availability & Limitations
We strive to maintain Service availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Scheduled maintenance will be communicated in advance where possible.
Scraping results depend on the structure and availability of third-party websites, which may change without notice. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of scraped data.
QuickBooks data synchronization depends on the Intuit API. Service interruptions on Intuit's end are outside our control.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to lost profits, business interruption, or data loss.
Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the total fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim.
We are not liable for any consequences arising from scraping activities you initiate, including claims from third-party website operators.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CanadaClouds, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your scraping activities and any resulting third-party claims, or (d) your violation of any applicable law.
12. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violation of these Terms, with or without notice.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Data deletion follows the schedule outlined in our Privacy Policy.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through a prominent notice within the Service at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
14. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with 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 the Service shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Ontario, Canada, in accordance with the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario).
