Terms

Last updated November 10, 2026

What you get

A new brief by email every Monday morning about public changes around your business address, until you cancel. Your first brief arrives shortly after you subscribe.

Price and billing

Your plan's price (Block $28 CAD a month; Neighbourhood $38 CAD a month; Area $62 CAD a month), charged monthly by Stripe on the same date each month as the day you subscribed. There is no contract. If the price ever changes, we'll email you at least 30 days before it applies to you.

Plans differ only in the area we watch around your business. You can switch plans anytime with the "Manage or cancel" link at the bottom of every brief. When you switch, the difference for the rest of that month is added to, or taken off, your next bill.

Cancelling

Cancel anytime with the "Manage or cancel" link at the bottom of every brief. You won't be charged again. Your briefs keep coming until the end of the month you've already paid for. We don't refund part-months.

If we miss a Monday

If a brief doesn't reach you on a Monday, tell us and we'll send it the same day.

What the brief is, and isn't

Briefs summarize public records, such as city permits, construction plans, licence applications, events, weather and census data. Those records can be late, incomplete or wrong, and we can miss things. Use the brief as a heads-up, not as legal, financial or professional advice. Check anything important with the source we link to. Distances are straight-line.

Fair use

Your brief is for your business. Please don't resell or republish it.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the month before the issue.

The fine print

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and Canada. If we change them, we'll email you before the change applies.
