Terms and conditions
These are the rules for using PeaceBooks. We've kept them as plain as we can. By making an account or using PeaceBooks, you agree to them.
"PeaceBooks", "we" and "us" mean the people who build and run PeaceBooks in Canada. "You" means the person using PeaceBooks, and the business you use it for.
1. PeaceBooks is being tested
PeaceBooks is new and still in testing. Features will change, some things may not work as they should, and we may sometimes need to pause the service to fix things. Please tell us when something goes wrong; that's how we make it better.
2. Your account
- You must be at least 18, and able to agree to these terms for yourself and your business.
- Use an email address only you can get into. Anyone who can read your email can sign in to your PeaceBooks account.
- You're responsible for what happens in your account, including anyone you let in, like an accountant or family member.
3. PeaceBooks helps you keep records. It isn't your accountant.
- PeaceBooks reads receipts and suggests amounts, categories and tax. It can be wrong. That's why it asks "Does this look right?" before anything is saved. Checking each entry is your job.
- Reports, GST/HST and payroll figures, and filing guides are there to help you. They aren't accounting, tax or legal advice. You're responsible for what you file with the CRA and your province, and for paying the right amounts on time.
- When in doubt, ask your accountant. PeaceBooks is built to make their job easier, not to replace them.
4. Your data is yours
You own the records, receipts and files you put in PeaceBooks. You give us permission to store and process them only to run PeaceBooks for you, as described in our privacy policy. You can export your records at any time. Keeping records for as long as the CRA requires is your responsibility, so export a copy before you close your account.
5. Using PeaceBooks fairly
Don't use PeaceBooks to break the law, to keep records for a business that isn't yours without permission, to send spam or harmful files, to get into accounts or parts of the service that aren't yours, or to overload or copy the service.
6. Price
- PeaceBooks is free while it's being tested. The free time for your account is shown on your subscription page.
- The planned price is $22 a month or $240 a year, and it isn't final yet. We'll never charge you without asking: you'll have to add a card and agree to the price first.
- When paid plans start, these terms will be updated to cover billing, renewals and cancelling.
7. Stopping
You can stop using PeaceBooks whenever you like, and ask us to delete your account. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or if we stop offering PeaceBooks. If we close PeaceBooks, we'll give you reasonable notice to export your records, unless something like a legal or security problem means we can't.
8. No guarantees, and limits
PeaceBooks is provided "as is" while it's being tested. As far as the law allows, we don't promise it will always be available, error-free, or right for your particular situation. As far as the law allows, we aren't responsible for indirect losses (like lost profits, penalties or interest) that come from using PeaceBooks, and our total responsibility to you is limited to what you paid us for PeaceBooks in the 12 months before the problem. Nothing here takes away rights you have that the law says can't be taken away.
9. Changes to these terms
We'll tell you in the app or by email before a change that matters takes effect. If you keep using PeaceBooks after that, the new terms apply.
10. The law that applies
These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.
