Legal
Terms of Service
Calas Automations Inc. · Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada · Effective 2026-10-15
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the software and services run by Calas Automations Inc. (“Calas,” “we,” “us”), including On File, Lead Me, Quote Me, Haul Me, Watchpost, Calas ScamCatch, ScamCatch Family, Dispatch Me, ReceiptSort, Permit Checker, Dropwatch and our assistant Cara (each a “Service”). By creating an account, paying for or using a Service, you agree to these Terms.
If you use a Service for a business, “you” means that business and the people who use its account, and you agree to these Terms for the business you represent. “Your customers” means the people your business serves, quotes or contacts. If you buy ScamCatch Family for yourself or your family, Section 4B also applies to you.
Some Services have their own terms as well. Quote Me has its own Terms of Service, which you accept when you sign up in the app; for Quote Me, those terms apply, and where they say something different from these Terms, the Quote Me terms win. Permit Checker has its own Terms of Use. Any written agreement we sign with you (for example, for Dispatch Me) also applies.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Services.
1. Who we are
Calas Automations Inc. is a corporation based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. We build automation software and simple tools for small and medium businesses and for the public, including document chasing, lead finding, quoting, trucking cost tools, security alerts and scam checking.
2. Accounts
- You must give accurate information when you create an account and keep it up to date.
- You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details safe and for everything done under your account.
- If you sign up for a business, you must be authorized to bind that business to these Terms.
- We may suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms, is used for fraud, or puts us or other customers at security risk.
3. What the Services do (and don’t do)
Each Service is described on its own page on calasautomations.com. In general:
- On File helps a business collect and track the documents it needs from its own clients, subcontractors or staff, and sends reminders for what is missing. It works from the lists you give it (spreadsheets) and sends reminders from its own sending address. For the documents and contact details your clients or subcontractors send, we act only as your service provider: we keep them confidential, use them only to run On File for you, and delete them on request when you close your account, usually within 30 days. On File does not check whether any document is valid; a person at your business remains responsible for reviewing and accepting what comes in.
- Lead Me finds businesses and drafts emails. You are the sender of every email and are responsible for having a lawful basis to send it under Canada’s anti-spam law. Fit scores are estimates, not promises that anyone will buy.
- Quote Me helps you turn a voice note, typed description or photo into a draft quote. Everything the AI produces is a draft that you must review and correct before you send it or order materials. Quote Me’s own in-app Terms, including the sections on Photo check and My stock, apply to Quote Me.
- Haul Me is a calculator. Every result is an estimate built from the numbers you enter. It is not financial, tax, legal or safety advice, and it does not find, arrange or broker loads. The free load calculator works the same way.
- Watchpost places decoys on our server and, if you ask, on a network you own or control. You confirm you have the authority to let us place it there. It detects and reports; it does not block attacks or guarantee that you won’t be breached, and it never scans, probes or contacts anyone else’s systems.
- ScamCatch and ScamCatch Family flag common scam signs. A warning is not proof, and a message with no warning can still be a scam. ScamCatch is not a security or fraud-prevention service.
- Dispatch Me introduces commercial, industrial and large residential properties in Winnipeg to independent snow-clearing and trade crews. Our fee, and who is responsible for what, are set out in writing before any introduction.
- ReceiptSort reads the receipts you choose and produces a spreadsheet. It runs in your browser. Check the output before you rely on it for accounting or tax.
- Permit Checker is general information only; its own Terms of Use apply.
- Dropwatch shows release dates and resale estimates from published sources. Estimates are not offers to buy or sell, collectibles can lose value, and nothing on Dropwatch is financial advice.
- Cara, in the website chat and on our phone line (431-244-9026), is an AI assistant, not a person. She can make mistakes. Prices and terms are the ones on our pricing page and in these Terms, not anything Cara says that differs from them.
No Service gives legal, tax, accounting, financial, medical, insurance, engineering or safety advice. Output from any Service, including anything written by AI, must be checked by a qualified person before anyone relies on it for those purposes.
4. Fees, billing and cancelling
- The fee for each Service is the one shown on that Service’s page and our pricing page when you buy. Prices are in Canadian dollars, plus GST/RST where applicable.
- Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card or bank details; Stripe handles them under its own terms and security standards (stripe.com/legal).
- Subscriptions renew automatically each month (or each year, if you chose a yearly plan) until you cancel.
- Cancel any time, and you’re never billed again. Your plan runs to the end of the period you already paid for. To cancel, use your account where the app offers it, call 431-244-9026, or email [email protected]. On File is the exception: its monthly plan is cancelled with 30 days’ notice (Section 4A).
- Free trials, free first months and money-back guarantees are the ones stated on each Service’s own page when you buy. A refund under a guarantee goes back to the payment method you used.
- If we change the price of a plan you are on, we will email you at least 30 days before the change takes effect, and you can cancel before then.
4A. On File: the 30-day pilot and cancelling
On File starts with a free 30-day pilot that runs beside the way your business chases documents today. Nothing is charged during the pilot; if you keep On File, the monthly fee starts on day 31. Sign-up is manual: we create your account by hand after you ask, and billing is set up by us by hand; nothing in On File bills you or locks you out by itself.
- Cancelling. On File monthly plans are cancelled with 30 days’ notice, by phone or email. This replaces the general “cancel any time” wording in Section 4 for On File. During the free pilot you can stop at any time and owe nothing.
- Hours saved. The hours-saved figure On File shows is an estimate built from what it actually did, not a measurement, and we promise no number of hours or dollars. Hour and dollar figures on our pages are illustrative.
- What On File does not do. It does not review documents or confirm that they are valid or enough; a person at your business does that.
4B. If you are a consumer (ScamCatch Family)
If you buy for personal or family use, consumer protection law where you live applies, and nothing in these Terms takes away those rights. ScamCatch Family costs C$9.99 a month or C$99 a year, plus applicable tax. Stripe charges your card when you subscribe and again on the same date each month or year until you cancel. You can cancel any time in your account or by calling 431-244-9026. You won’t be charged again, and your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. We will email you at least 30 days before any price change, and a new price applies to you only if you agree to it. If we cannot provide the service, you may cancel and we will refund you within 30 days. Seller: Calas Automations Inc., 431-244-9026, [email protected] (mailing address at the end of these Terms).
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use a Service to break any law, or to send or upload content you don’t have the right to (including client data you aren’t authorized to upload);
- try to reverse-engineer, scrape or interfere with the operation or security of a Service;
- use Watchpost, or any Service, to scan, probe or attack anyone else’s systems;
- use Lead Me, or any Service, to send email or texts you have no lawful basis to send;
- use any Service to create or send content that is unlawful, fraudulent or infringes someone else’s rights.
6. Your content
You own the data, documents, photos, voice recordings, lists and other content you put into a Service (“Your Content”). You give Calas Automations Inc. a limited licence to store, process and send Your Content only to provide the Service to you, keep it secure and fix problems. We do not use Your Content to train AI models. Our Privacy Policy explains which providers handle it, and where.
Your customers’ information. When you put your customers’, clients’ or subcontractors’ personal information into a Service, your business is responsible for it, and we handle it for you as your service provider. We will:
- use it only to provide the Service to you, following your instructions in the app;
- keep it confidential and protect it with reasonable security;
- let only our staff and providers who need it to run the Service see it, each bound to protect it;
- tell you promptly about any security breach involving it;
- delete it when your account is deleted, as described in our Privacy Policy, unless the law requires us to keep it.
Your responsibilities. You must have the right to put Your Content into the Service. That includes telling your customers, clients, subcontractors and staff how you use their information, having any consent the law requires, and having consent or another lawful basis under Canada’s anti-spam law (CASL) for the emails and texts a Service sends on your behalf.
7. AI-generated output
Several Services use AI models, run by the providers named in our Privacy Policy, to transcribe, extract, sort, score, draft or answer. AI output can be wrong. These features are built so that a person reviews the output before anyone acts on it. You are responsible for what you send, order or do after reviewing AI output.
8. Availability and support
We aim for high availability but do not guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may carry out maintenance, and we may change or discontinue a Service or a feature, with reasonable notice where practical.
9. Limitation of liability
In plain words: if something goes wrong, the most we pay is what you paid us in the last 12 months (or CA$500, if that is more). We don’t pay for knock-on losses like lost jobs, and we aren’t responsible for the emails, quotes, loads and work you decide on. These limits don’t protect us if we were grossly negligent, acted on purpose or caused an injury, and they don’t take away a consumer’s rights under consumer protection law.
As far as the law allows:
(a) We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses (knock-on losses) from your use of a Service, including lost profits, lost jobs or lost data.
(b) We are not liable for the content of any email, quote, invoice, report or purchase order you send, any load you take, any work you quote or do, or any decision you make after reviewing AI-generated or automated output, except to the extent the loss was caused by a defect in the Service itself (for example, the Service changing a figure you entered).
(c) Our total liability for all claims about the Services, including under Section 9A, is limited to the greater of: the amount you paid us for the Services in the 12 months before the event that caused the claim; or CA$500.
(d) These limits apply to every kind of claim, whether for breach of contract, negligence, misrepresentation or anything else, and whether or not we knew the loss was possible.
(e) Our fees are set on the basis of these limits. Without them we would charge more, or not offer the Services.
(f) Our employees, directors, officers and contractors are not personally liable to you for anything connected with the Services. They can rely on this section as if they had signed these Terms.
These limits do not apply to:
- fraud, or our failure to perform these Terms honestly;
- our gross negligence or wilful misconduct;
- bodily injury caused by our fault;
- any other liability the law does not allow us to limit, including a consumer’s rights under consumer protection law.
9A. Claims by others (indemnity)
In plain words: if someone sues us over the emails, quotes or work your business sends or does, or over your customer data, you cover it. If someone sues you because we mishandled personal information or the software itself infringes someone’s rights, we cover it. Neither side pays for the other’s share of the blame. This section applies to business customers, not to consumers.
You cover us. You will defend Calas Automations Inc. and pay its losses and reasonable legal costs if a third party (such as one of your customers, a supplier, an employee or a regulator) makes a claim against us, to the extent the claim comes from: (a) an email, quote, invoice, purchase order or other message or document you send using a Service; (b) work you or your subcontractors quote, do or fail to do, including safety, code, permit and licensing compliance; (c) Your Content, including any notice or consent you failed to give or get; or (d) your breach of these Terms or of the law.
We cover you. We will defend you and pay your losses and reasonable legal costs if a third party makes a claim against you, to the extent the claim comes from our breach of our duties about personal information in Section 6, or from a claim that the Service itself (not Your Content) infringes someone’s intellectual property rights. Our obligations in this paragraph are subject to the limit in Section 9(c).
Fair shares. Each side’s obligation is reduced to the extent the loss was caused by the other side. The side asking for cover must tell the other promptly about the claim, let the other run the defence, and cooperate reasonably. Neither side may settle a claim in a way that admits fault on the other’s behalf without the other’s consent.
10. Ending your account
You can cancel any time, as set out in Section 4. We may suspend or close access immediately if you materially breach these Terms, including the acceptable use rules in Section 5. Some Services delete your data a set time after your plan ends; the Privacy Policy and each Service’s page say when, so download anything you want to keep before then.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Manitoba and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Manitoba have jurisdiction over any dispute about these Terms or the Services, and you and we both agree to their jurisdiction. We may also bring a claim for unpaid fees in the courts where you are based, including small claims court. If you are a consumer, nothing in this section takes away any right you have to bring a claim where you live.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We will post changes here with a new effective date. For a material change to Sections 9 or 9A, or to fees, we will email the account owner at least 30 days before it takes effect, and you can cancel before then. If you keep using a Service after a change takes effect, the new Terms apply.
13. General
- Survival. Sections 6, 7, 9, 9A, 11 and this section keep applying after your account ends.
- If part is invalid. If a court finds part of these Terms unenforceable, the rest still applies. If the problem is a limit in Section 9 or 9A, the limit applies to the greatest extent the law allows.
- Whole agreement. These Terms, the Service’s page and our pricing page when you buy, any Service’s own terms mentioned above, any written agreement we sign with you, and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Services.
- No waiver. If we don’t enforce a term right away, we can still enforce it later.
- Transfer. You may not transfer your account without our written consent. We may transfer these Terms to a company that takes over a Service, and we will tell you if we do.
